The scowl on my face was making my head hurt, so I did my breathing exercise to calm down. It was like as soon as I accepted my brother’s call and took this job, my peace had been disturbed. I felt myself traveling back into that dark hole I climbed out of. I was so off my damn planet, I hadn’t even thought about calling in to check on my business. However, I knew if there was an issue, they would call me.
“I’m good, man.”
“She must be some kind of special.”
I frowned. “Why? Because I’m doing shit that I normally wouldn’t for her ass?”
“Precisely.” He chuckled. “The Play I know would never.”
“Yeah, well, I guess the tin man found his heart.” Yeah, I was sounding like a punk ass nigga, however, thoughts of a smiling woman and a beautiful baby girl had changed the trajectory of my feelings.
We rode in silence until we finally pulled up to the meeting spot where I was meeting with my men. I got out and headed inside as damn near fifty niggas sat around, polishing their guns and loading them up.
“Boss man, Play! It’s good to see you, my nigga,” Ro said, giving me a pound.
“It’s good to be seen. I didn’t know all of y’all were going to show up.” I chuckled.
“You may have been out of the game for a minute, but you always got our loyalty. You’ve helped every nigga in this room in some way, so we’re forever riding for you no matter what.” I looked around as everyone nodded in agreement. “Besides, the nigga you’re after has been a pain in our asses for years. It’s time that nigga get escorted through them gates of hell, feel me?”
“I couldn’t agree more. So now that that’s settled, I’m going to put eyes on him. He doesn’t know what I look like, so it’ll definitely be a sneak attack. I want his head, so every plan has to be executed with precision. Tech, how many did you say he had with him?”
“Twenty, but he only keeps five main ones around him. I know where one of them lives. His name is Joe and he’s the head of the security team.”
“Hmm, nah… I don’t want to tip him off. If that nigga don’t show up to the party he’ll know something, and I don’t want him to know when I’m coming. We’ll leave about nine tonight. I don’t give a fuck who it is, everybody in there gotta go.”
“Gotcha.”
My phone buzzed as I looked at the message on my screen from Bunny. Opening it up, I read the message she sent me.
Bunny: I know you’re busy, but please, please be safe. If it’s not too much, I’ll send you an emoji every two hours to let you know we’re okay, and you send one back to let me know the same.
Me: I got you, Bunny. Everything’s good. For now.
Bunny: I hate this.
Me: I know. But you need to have a little confidence in your kidnapper.??
Bunny: Not funny????
Me: Just want to make you smile. Stop worrying and go take my Rabbit out back to play.
Bunny: You make her sound like a pet.??
Me: Nah, just a pet name. Relax. Enjoy your family. I’ll be good.
Bunny: Thank you. And I’m sorry about my dad. He’s just frustrated with all of this, but I promise he’s a gentle giant. Both of you remind me so much of one another. It’s crazy. But I’ll let you get back. Prayers up for your safe return.??????
Me: ??
Bunny: ?? Very good!????
I smirked as I put my phone away and focused on the task at hand.
Walking inside the bar, I instantly knew which bum Nala bore a seed for. He was the loudest motherfucka in the room with matted, dirty looking locs, knock-off Gucci attire, rocking some Air Max. The man in the photo Ash sent looked nothing like the nigga I had eyes on. Now I knew why his ass was so desperate to get Bunny back. She may have just took this nigga for all he had and now he was trying to get her back. I couldn’t believe this was the man the whole city was raving about. Couldn’t fucking be.
I went to the bar and ordered three shots of Hennessy as I kept my eyes on Slim and his crew. From the looks of it, he only had about ten people sitting around him while they got high and talked shit. Something wasn’t adding up about this dynamic. I just couldn’t believe that a man who had this nice club and supposed to be big time in Blackstone could appear to be a regular bum ass nigga. I pulled out my cell, pretending to be texting as I zoomed in on him and took a photo. I then went to my text thread and sent the photo to Ash.
Me: You sure this is him?
