We even!
The next morning, after Monet left for work, Cane headed out to get groceries, unknowingly Dagga was standing at the corner of the empty street in black hoodie, trouser and shoes
"Remember me?" Dagga pointed a gun at Cane
"I do. We talked 'bout this, man. Bullets ain't helping a'ight?" Cane calmly asked
"Shut the fuck up, man. You fucking owe me 24k not some cents..." Dagga reminded, willing to shoot at him
"....its 12k & I'll gt it by....."
"Last chance....tonight 7pm sharp. HC or Mo." He threatened
"...chill. I'll get it man, trust me" Cane assured again
"It ain't hard to get bloody, kid. Its molly to me."
Dagga left a punch on Cane's face as he groaned helplessly. Cane managed to get home and dialed Tyrone
"Yo!" Tyrone answered like he waited for it
"Come over we got business"
"Cool."
Monet got held up at the club with Shane. Kings was found dead at the crib, no doubt he suspected Monet
As soon as she entered the club, he stood by a table interrogating
"Kings dead. Got anything to say?" He looked at her questioningly
"Why would I? I did the job & you got paid so ikkm?" She confidently replied
"....Did you drug him?"
"I didn't. Where was I gonna get 'em from?"
"Great. Renzo's gon be here any minute....."
"Who's Renzo?" She feigned not to know
"Don't pretend bitch! Of course his cousin. I've got this strange feeling that you got this all planned out" he insinuated
"...I had no choice than following your fucking orders..." She defended
"And drugged him?.... I saw the particles on the table jeez Monet. He couldn't have done that all by himself yeah? Renzo's gotta know this" he turned to leave
"You ain't got no heart, do you?" She left instead.
It was hard trying to live by selling drugs, doing things with confirmation and trying to get legitimate. Monet walked into the house hastily just by happenstance Renzo did follow behind
"Yo Monet!" Tyrone waved
"Ty!" She gestured towards them
They packaged the pills & cannabis in near wraps
"Mo, ain't yo' closing time yeah?" Cane asked in concern
"That's why I'm back. We need to talk...like ASAP?" She looked at Cane
"Tyrone is not a problem...." Cane defended
"Seriously....." Monet asked again in doubt
"....I could excuse y'all..." Ty suggested
"You're blood!" Cane stressed
Monet sat up as well
"Kings dead. I fucked up bro!" She rubbed her head in confusion
"Oh man! Renzo is gonna kill us" Ty added
"...Shane is gonna tell on me if Renzo pulls up on him at the club, it zero for me." Monet concluded
"Chill Mo, we gon fix it" Ty assured
"I'm sorry nigga, I fucked up." She turned to Cane in remorse
"Chill. We'll fix it." Cane added
Cane entered his room taking a gun with him and disguised in black including masks on, Tyrone did as well.
"Finish up Mo! Don't let nobody in, not even Angie" Cane instructed
"I'll come with you!" Monet insisted
"Ok then....(he tried to hide his disappointment) and Renzo?"
"Ok. Please y'all be careful!"
"Be safe." Ty hugged her, then followed Cane behind
When its about protection and solving problems, Tyrone & Cane did the best, even if it involved their lives being on harms way. They bombarded Shane's club, making way into his office. Its no surprise he was fucking a stripper. Cane was not a fan of such scene, he hated men being disrespecting a woman especially when vulnerable
"Get the fuck outta her, motherfucker!" Cane shot at Shane's right leg
The stripper ran out naked except for her shoes and lingerie held to her chest
"...who are you?" Shane groaned in pain while bleeding. "Get the fuck outta my crib
"....for real you was gonna tell on Mo?" Ty asked
"Her bitch ass brother?" Shane asked to validate his hunch
Tyrone wasted no time throwing uneasy punches at Shane till he was drenched
"Yes dick!"
"I ain't gon let that happen" Cane pointed his gun at Shane
"....how much you gon' need, I got a family to keep alive...plea....seee" he quivered
"How about some balls to shoot at?" Cane taunted
"I got 50k, for a start I promise" shane begged
"..then what? Just anything"
"Only if you say hi to mi papa in hell" Cane's bullet hotter 5 times at a spot
Tyrone kept a small piece of paper scribbled
'Tribute to Kings'
Right outside the club, Cane got a call from Dagga
"My cash" Dagga asked impatiently
"How about the bridge, it's secure." Cane insisted
"10 minutes" Dagga hung up
Cane looked at Ty smiling
"To the bridge"
They hung their bags immediately running off.
10 minutes sharp, they got to the bridge. Dagga stood awaiting his coming. Tyrone his instead working according to plan
"2 minutes late, kid you gotta learn twice" Dagga warned
"I got yo money in extra, 30k"
"Busta you gotta be...." Dagga was dumbfounded
".....interesting! Yeah I am......its all yours, we good?" Cane added
"Better than your father!" Dagga received the money, sniffing it in hidden excitement
Dagga felt something like the shaft of a gun
"Hey Kid, you should be in school not the streets....Busta?" Dagga taunted
"I give and take!" Tyrone wasted him twice on the head
Cane and Ty pushed Dagga off the bridge landing into the water from the cliff top, bundled their money and they left
9pm, Cane got Monet's text
'Angie's waiting outside'
"That bitch ain't gonna listen" Cane snapped
"She's family!" Ty teased
"You suck bro, catch you at 7am"
"We even, nigga." Ty reminded
"Not yet, We gotta sell these."
"Shane & Dagga? Was it enchantment?"
"Ok cool.....even"
They hugged and parted finally
Cane walked home briskly finding Angie at the door, he walked past her and knocked
"Mo, I'm home!" He called in a deep tone
"Can I come in?" Angie spoke from behind, yet got ignored by Cane
"Mo!"
Monet opened up & hugged him tightly, In a few moments she missed Cane, Angie followed in immediately trying not to miss a chance to talk. Cane noticed her unruly movements, he turned pointing his gun at her
"I-i-i-im sorry. I just wanna talk" he shivered
"Cane? You got this a'ight?" Monet calmed him
"Get to understand me son?" Angie unknowingly stirred his fury
"I ain't yo' fuckin son bitch, get the-fuck out!" He yelled in anger
"Ok i will...i got a better supplier not Renzo, he gon kill you" Angie tried to persuade
"To hell with what you think a'ight? Enough if this shit." Monet scolded her as well
"I can help you......x Angie insisted
".....are you fucking with me. (He turned to monet) Mo, you can't trust this bitch......"
"Yes you can. Meet me at 10, my house" she left hurriedly
Monet sighed after bolting the locks
"The gun wasn't helping Cane"
"What if she pulled first huh?"
He took off his hoodie after keeping his bag on the table
"Want henny?" Monet offered
He motioned with his index finger asking for one, she handed him a glass
"Here! Cane im so sorry I over dosed I overreacted....." She sat next to him remorseful in black baggy shirt and a black jean, thigh length
"Its over---both of them"
"Them? What them?" She got confused
"Dagga! He showed this morning requesting 24k, Shane provided 50k so I used part of......" He tried to explain
".....You didn't tell me nothing. God! Cane-ee!" She groaned
"Too bad you ain't mama, you'd be killed you? That was the price....Ty and I sorted that already, He's never coming at us." He assured and sipped
"I hope this ends"
"It ain't, it'd just the beginning"
After 2minutes of an awkward silence, he continued
"Are you done?"
"Ready to hit. I called Sean's ass, He's with us."
"That's my nigga!" They gave a swift shake
Monet requested a gun for protection but he declined for her safety instead
"Nah! You ain't getting bloody, let me handle it"
"I overdosed Kings, Kendall..." She pointed
"That was at 15 Mo...."
"I need to protect myself, yo!" She insisted
"I got you, a'ight. Trust me" he assured rubbing her cheeks slightly
"Me too....no secrets coz you never mentioned Dagga..." She pointed again
"...you didn't mention Shane harassing you, are we good!" Cane defended
"Bro! You scared her pants off, did you see her face lately" she was baffled
They laughed
"You got to be unpredictable, Mo. She scared of me, no doubt.....more shots"
He requested more
"My nigga!" She hailed
She poured more Hennessey into their glasses in excited, dancing to Pop Smokes' Welcome to the party'.
