Phonso scowled knowing that Scotty was truly interested in knowing whether or not he had gotten back into the drug business.
"I'm still keeping my nose clean but I had to give up the pizza place. The smell of garlic was too hard to cover with my Gucci cologne."
Scotty laughed.
"I got a job in a distribution center. Factory work ain't so cool but … it keeps me out of trouble." Truth is that Phonso was making no where near the four grand a week that he used to make but there was also no chance of him being sent to jail like so many of the crew members.
"Good to know." He asked about his brothers and sisters and Miss Gloria before turning the conversation to what he really wanted to discuss.
"I'm worried about Vanessa."
"She's not a dummy," Phonso said.
"Everybody needs someone to have their back. Vanessa's lost everyone, no thanks to me."
Phonso didn't disagree.
