Deshawn

As I stood there, looking like a punk ass nigga, trying to figure out how did this nigga end up with Toya, I also wondered what the fuck Toya was doing with this clown. Did this silly-ass broad know who the fuck she was dealing with? I thought.

This was some really fucked-up shit, and I couldn’t believe the fucked-up situation I was in. I was standing there, chumped out in front of my girl, while Cain and this bitch, Toya, were giggling like shit was funny. All I could think of at that second, while he stood there with his hand balled into a fist ready to dab me out, was, I won’t be the first nigga to speak. Not one fucking word.

What’s up, bro? It’s nice to meet you? Cain said.

I looked at him with my heart beating out my chest and said, What’s up. Nice to meet you, too.

You look a little nervous, my guy. Are you okay? Cain asked me, laughing.

Oh nawl, man, I’m good. I just came to see my girl and was leaving out for work. I’m running a little late, I said.

Ohhhh okay, I understand that; we gotta be out here putting in work to provide for our families, Cain said, and then he kissed Toya on her forehead. I gotta get up outta here too, but, man, you do look familiar; where I know you from? Cain asked me, like he didn’t know I was one of the main niggas in his gang that work for him.

This nigga was being real funny, I thought. I shook my head. Shit, maybe from the hood; we’re all from the same area so that’s probably where you’ve seen me, I said.

I turned towards Naomi and looked deep into her eyes. She was so happy that she finally met her best friend’s so-called boyfriend that she wasn’t paying the expressions that I had on my face any mind. Look, baby, I am going to head up out here; I gotta get back to work, okay? I kissed her on them soft-ass lips and said, I’ll see you later, okay?

Okay, baby. I’ll call you when I get off, okay? You be safe out there, she said, and then she hugged me goodbye.

I said bye to Naomi and Toya, as I got the fuck on up out of that salon, ignoring the goofy stares Cain was giving me. I didn’t know why the hell he was acting like I didn’t know him, but that shit was too awkward, and it was pissing me off, standing there with my woman. Now this nigga knew I had somebody, and it was only a matter of time before he sank his claws into her to dangle her life over my head to get me to do some off-the-wall shit. I definitely was going to tell her about her shiesty-ass friend Toya; that chick knew what the hell was going on when she called that nigga up there. I wanted to know what type of games she was playing.

What made everything worse was that once I pulled off, Naomi had the nerve to suggest that we all should set up a double date. That shit was not going to happen. Not on my watch. Hell nawl, I wanted to say to her, but I decided not to even say nothing.

I just drove off and ignored that shit. I drove to a bar nearby and stopped to get a drink to calm my nerves. About twenty minutes later I got a text from Cain, asking to meet up. I nervously replied back.

I had a really bad feeling about this shit. What the fuck now? I thought.

I chilled there at the bar, contemplating my next move. I didn’t trust that grimy-ass Cain, but my hands were tied. I also was thinking about coming clean about my relationship with Naomi to my captain so that she would have some type of protection. I knew for a fact that he was going to go the hell off, considering the fact I promised that I was not going to get involved with anyone during my mission to take Cain and all those murdering niggas down. It was too risky, and I wished she knew that and took it seriously. Now, I had to not only look over my shoulders, but I had to watch Naomi’s back as well.

I shook my head, thinking about how clueless she was being. I just knew she felt the tension in the air as the four of us stood there. I tried to give her a look to tell her that this is the nigga. He was the nigga that could and would kill me and everybody I know. And to think she actually was thinking about setting up a fucking double date.

I barely wanted to be in that nigga’s presence. Every time I was, I wanted to pull out my pistol and cap his ass out. Holding my composure around this fool was hard, and now that he knows I have a woman, it was going to get even harder.

After I finished my drink, I gathered myself together and took my ass to the spot where he held all the meetings. Once I arrived, I felt in my gut that this was about to be some bullshit. I knew for a fact he didn’t wanna sit up and talk about our girls. I also knew he wasn’t going to send me on a mission to do any drug drop offs because I just did one. He always had some bullshit up his sleeve, and tonight, I was going to find out what exactly he planned for me to do.

I had told Naomi I would meet up with her later, but I decided to see her tomorrow since I had a feeling this was going to be one long-ass night for me. I texted her to tell her I was still working and would hit her up once I was done, and then I headed off to talk to that grimy-ass nigga Cain.

Deshawn

A couple of months later, out the blue, Cain had decided that me and the 65s had to go on a quick run, which turned out to be some bullshit.

Pop, pop, pop, pop!

Gunshots rang out through the jewelry store. I couldn’t believe what Cain had me doing. He normally didn’t send me on some dumb-ass bullshit like this, but here I was, firing shots at a jewelry store owner. Cain sent me
