with attitude. “Did ya’ll not pay attention when ya’ll was doing ya’ll job with the books? That is our connect. Well, was. When we get rid of the rest of his product, we’re gonna have to find another one.”
“Oh shit,” Gena said, realizing what she had just gotten herself into. She sighed long and hard. “Well, if Slick would have kept his dick in his pants, I would have never given Kay a second look but since we all know that can’t happen, I started building a great friendship with Kay. I understand that this may make you guys mad, but I’m a big girl. I can take care of myself. I will be friends with and/or date whomever I please,” she said to Ace. I gave her a thumbs up, showing her that I was proud of her for standing up for herself. Ace walked over to my bed with a mug on his face.
“Don’t come over here with that bullshit, Anthony”
“Watch yo mouth,” he said, sitting down beside me before sitting the bags down and pulling out two food containers. He got up and handed one to Gena, and his mother walked back through the door with a giggly Ahleya.
“Heyyyyy mama baby!” I almost screamed. I’d missed her so much. I grabbed her and she started giving me slobbery kisses all over my face. I guess she missed me too.
“Da-da,” she said smiling at me with her two little pecks.
“WHAT SHE SAY?” Ace said all loud.
“Nothing nigga, sit down.”
“Da-da,” Ahleya said again. He grabbed her out of my hand and she kept saying it.
“Yessss mama, I knew I was your favorite,” he cooed to her. I rolled my eyes and started eating my food. We heard someone knocking at the door, and in walked Gena’s parents with Kenyah in their arms; they rushed over to Gena.
“We were on a cruise and didn’t know what happened until today, are you okay?”
“I’m okay,” she answered, reaching for Kenyah, who gladly went into her arms.
“Aye baby, I have to go handle something. I will be back to get you tomorrow. If I finish it before late tonight, I’ll come back” I stuck my lips out and started pouting.
“Okay,” I said after letting out a long sigh.
“Don’t be like that. This is something that has to be done to ensure the safety of my family.”
“Okay,” I said, giving him a faint smile. He kissed me on my lips and proceeded to walk out the door, leaving me with the rest of the family whom I was thankful for having because it got lonely here.

“Slick, you ready?” I asked him, driving up to his house.
“Yea, I’m ‘bout to come out the door.” He came out with a black long sleeved shirt, some black Levi jeans, black steel toe Timberland boots that we both had custom made to look like normal black Timberlands, and a black skullcap. I had on the same attire. Both of us had bulletproof vests on over our shirts. We usually put a hoodie on over them before making our moves.
“Wassup, light skin,” he said, getting into the van.
“Boy, shutcho blackass up,” I said before driving off. We drove for a while to get back to the slums of Atlanta. When we got to our destination, we got out of the car and carefully went to the front door of the apartment. When we got in the house, we heard moaning.
“What the fuck,” I mumbled, feeling sick to my stomach; the thought of these two having sex had my mind all kinds of fucked up. I looked at Slick and he had the same look on his face. I walked to the door and kicked it in, causing them both to fall to the floor in shock.
“Put on some fuckin underwear. Both of you.” After they got dressed at gunpoint, we put them both in handcuffs and put duct tape over their mouths. “Let’s go,” I said to them, pointing the gun in the direction of the door where Slick was standing.
“We don’t have to listen to you,” Kenneth spoke. I hit him in the nose with the butt of my gun.
“You oughta shut the fuck up, dawg. You got my girl in the hospital and shit, and you have the fuck ass nerve to talk shit? Oh yeah, you been
