Real ones!
Prof Baldwin and Prof Taraji were discussing about Monet, Cane and Tyrone
"I don't understand these kids, they don't show up often yet they pass my test" Baldwin said in slight distaste
"Want them failing? Coz I don't, they're good kids trying to make a living" Taraji defended
"Who pays their tuition?"
"They do, perhaps. They could and would do it" she defended again
"How? Which money? This is a respectable and validated institution, we don't train thugs, a'ight?" Baldwin added
"Good one chancellor! Expell them or maybe extinct them instead. Every score on that test, they deserved it. Leave Cane, keep aside...." she got pissed
Baldwin cut in with a surprise
"You fucking him now?"
"What" she slapped him "you suck!"
"I do always"
"Be careful Baldwin, i could take you off" she warned
He scoffed and continued
"For that kid?"
At Braden's warehouse
"Are we even?" Angie lit her Cuba
"It wasn't a revenge or a payback...that was business bitch" Braden added
"It is? You couldn't have this without me you know? No one could go thru Renzo without my help!" She gave herself Credit
"Really? You such a snitch!" He smirked
"I do. And you got your shippings in place. Are you going to gimme my cut or not? I drove those wheels back and forth, nigga!"
"You did and you gon pull over soon. I'd give you lunch, and if we got traces, I'll feed the dog myself!" He smiled
"Yet dogs still survive the streets"
She looked at Dean and turned to Braden
In seconds, she got a text from someone unknown
'I'll find you, and I'll kill you cold
blooded'.
"What?" She screamed out loud
"Dogs get terrified? Yeah bitches do"
"I've gotta go, keep my cash!" Angie reminded trying to leave
"Still at Quincy!" He walked away with smirk on his face
Meanwhile, At Renzo's
The three of them stood as he walked majestically
"Y'all got nerves? You don't know me kids, do you?"
"We ain't done nothing, someone did. We can't steal from you Renzo, if we could we wouldn't wait till now..." Cane explained
"You could snitch!" Renzo yelled
"We wouldn't!" He almost yelled back unconsciously
"Of course you would, Busta!" Dre added
"I won't mother...." Cane stopped
"Hey choose yo' words. He's blood. If y'all think this is some kinda joke or something, i'ma remind y'all that this.....ain't Zebra crossing...... Cane, you knew 'bout my shippings, didn't you?" Renzo scolded
"You mentioned...."
"And you stole it." Renzo concluded
"I didn't!" Came yelled
"Who did" Renzo said pulling out his gun, already pointing to cane's face
"Angie did" Mo defended
"What?" Renzo got confused
"She knows about the connect, a'ight. She's the only snitch the streets got" Ty added
"How did you know?" Dre asked
"Just think about bro!" Mo said to Dre
"Angie and Braden simple. They're the only enemies you got not us, we just kids trying to survive the streets" Ty lectured
"Boss, I think they got a point" Dre concurred
"Give 'em 2. No clients, find some!" Renzo said angrily
"3 please. Same price same deal, we ain't taking cuts" Came suggested
Dre smiled
"You got 5 days and I hope you didn't lie 'bout Angie...." Renzo added
"And Braden?" Ty added
"Get lost!" Renzo yelled
"We all in the same page y'all, count on us."
They left taking the supplies with them in bags
Right at Angie's, Cane, Ty and Mo ransacked her house, shooting bullets leaving a note 'BUSTAS'. All she did was wonder and get disappointed in the end.
When night fell, Renzo ordered Dre and other men with bombarding Braden's warehouse burning it down, shooting at every man protecting the warehouse except for Braden and Dean. Dre dialed his boss
"Done!"
"I knew I could count on you!" Renzo hung up. Dre drove to Renzo's, where they partied with strippers and smoked all night.
Cane's room at school, playing a play station
"Guys, I gotta run"
Cane said, dressed topping a hoodie, a bag and his face, a gun.
"Bro! We just got started this shit yeah!" Monet said crushing popcorn in her mouth
"You scared coz I'm gonna beat your ass"
Tyrone and money laughed
"We--I gotta fix some problems, a'ight" he said with a slight frown, closed the door behind him.
Monet looked at Tyrone.
"Yo, you got a clue?"
"I think you'd know him better" he said in sarcasm
"Of course!" She snapped "Cane's out to kill, like did you see his face. You could tell, nigga" she added
"He gon be fine, we know that" Ty eyes fixated on the computer's screen
"I won bitch!" She screamed
Ty looked at intensively in her shorts and crop top, as her burnt yellow curly hair hopped on her shoulders, up and down
"Yeah!" He smiled "you ditched Jalen again."
"We had shit to run, didn't we?"
"You shoulda called him" he added with a half smile
"May I fucking know why you're so into Jalen?" She shrugged, then phone beeped
She got a text from Jalen, speaking of the devil
'Can i see you---like right now?
'Can't stop gaming
'Im outside, please
'You fucked nigga!
'ok!
She turned to Ty
"Gotta see Jalen! Right outside....."
He interrupted a bit pissed
"Oh c'mon. We just got started"
"Yeah I know" she wore black boots and a hoodie "get yourself a chic or maybe you gay" she snapped
"Fuck that ok. Looking all made up for some rich kid yeah?" He teased yet he meant it. He expressed his jealousy again
"Coz, no one's gonna that for you!" She shaded "bye baby" she gave him s peg then left
Just outside the dorm, she met Jalen looking handsome wearing an expensive hoodie, pants and shoes in Gucci Leaning on an expensive Rover then he hugged her tightly
"Hey, you gorgeous as always"
"Pulling my legs to get what you want right? Ain't working" she snapped smiling
"You always fascinate me that way, ain't working" he also teased
He opened the car and she hopped in then he sped off. Ty felt so disappointed, he wasn't used to not seeing Mo around plus going out with a guy, he didn't know why he felt that way.
"So where do you wanna go? Anywhere."
"Actually, I ain't got preferences--i usually don't have time for that" Mo shrugged
"You got a side job or something, no offense!" He said with more carefulness
"Kinda! But I quitted, he's an asshole"
"Who is? Your boyfriend?" He teased
"Well fuck you! My boss, jeez! You suck!"
She replied in slight frenzy
"Do I? Really?" He pulled over at a star spot
"You do!" She simply replied...
Jalen stood staring at her, from her curls, her brown eyes, her neatly curved lines, her smooth skin. Then he spoke
"Sorry about Sean! First your parents then Sean"
She turned cold and continued
"How fucked I could be, I never got enough time to mourn Sean. He was my best friend, he knew me behind covers and now.....He's gone like he never ever existed" she sighed
"I envied y'all personally--- i could tell he meant a lot to you. Back seat?" He opted
"I wanted to ask that!"
She went first then he followed behind, he began
"All my life, I've been lonely, no one to talk to, no friends...."
"Yeah, I noticed. You didn't choose that, did you?" Mo asked to figure out
"I was born that way. Tryna please them, all of it" he sighed heavily
"Even school?"
"Apparently!" He added
"You must be one lucky guy" she added
Yes, they didn't know what it meant to be rich and luxurious. just surviving on the go which fun, frustrating and between life and death
"Why's that?" He turned to her amazed
"My twin and I are survivors still trying to survive, and tyrone---just us 3!"
"Really hard I guess!" He tried to fathom
"Not anymore! We got used to it"
They stood staring again for some awkward seconds. They liked each other but expressing it was kind of difficult. It wasn't the aim for now. His mom texted asking where he was at the moment
"Your Mom?" Mo figured out
"Just checking up, tho. Its suffocating" he added ignorantly
"Be grateful bitch! She's there to check you up all day and night"
Jalen realized he's been over board, totally ungrateful, reflecting thru his actions
"Feels good to be son of the chancellor himself and mom got a mall, name it" she reminded him then he smiled, it was actually normal to him
"It ain't enough..." He blurted
"Not enough, what sorta bitch are you? Hispanic, latino, Asian, English, Irish, Caribbean, black, white, which one" she listed in shock
They laughed, then he held her hands within a blink
"Its you....you'd make me feel enough." He smiled gorgeously.
She noticed a drawing pad just at the side
"Oh ok. You're artist? Your sketches are good, yet you play basketball...you're perfect. I wish I could explore you" she complimented
"Explore me instead!" He joked causing them to laugh out.
He interrupted with a question
"What keeps you busy?"
Now this was a sensitive part he touched, her private life
"Uhm...errr, just trying to find myself a job" she got the right words to say at her pace
"....I could pay for your up keep, let me help you....I..I just feel useless right now, I wanna support you, I wanna do something nice" he opted
"Do I look unhealthy to you, like what's that supposed to mean?" She flared
This question meant a lot, it has different perceptions aside from being helpful or supportive, did she really look hungry to him or what exactly was getting thinking, she wondered
"I did not mean it that way...I just wanna help, to be there for you I promise......" he corrected
"Get your ass on those wheels and drive me outta here or i step out" she yelled
She knew he Wouldn't let her walk while he drove away
"Mo I'm so sorry i didn't mean it that way" he apologized, he meant the apology
"I could get through subway you know!" She added
There wasn't a conversation on the high way, till they drove back to the college premises, right at the dormitory.
He grabbed on the door handle trying to go out, then he looked them automatically
"Mo?" He calmly called
"Really? You think I'm some motherfucker out there tryna find shelter or maybe....." She scolded again then he interrupted
"I swear I didn't mean it that way" he pleaded
"I really meant it when I said you suck! Is sorry too hard for you to say?" She demanded more apology
He leaned over and kissed her instead before she could push him away, then she finally punched him
"Get off, square"
Then he unlocked the doors
"Mo, I'm really sorry. I'm gonna make it up!" He assured
"Jalen I really thought you were different, I thought I found Sean in you?" She blurted
"Really Monet, Sean?"
"Thanks for Tonight, do not call my phone again" she left with a frown
He screamed her name from behind but she ignored them he drove off
She entered the room found Tyrone Sleeping after he had smoked
"Mo! How was it?" He stood immediately
"He's lame. I don't wanna fucking talk about it. He tried to kiss me, that nigga got nerves I punched him, trust me"
He laughed like he never woke up from slumbering
"I love you, bitch. That's my nigga!"
She grinned folding his arms
"Cane ain't back yet?" More seriously she asked
"I texted but he sent a emoji!"
"Isn't that weird?" She tilted her head toward him
"Uhm....he's cool where ever he is" he wasn't bothered at all
On the other hand, while Cane was heading to Angie, a rover pulled over, glasses wounded, Dre called
"Busta, hop in" he instructed
"Shit!" He said beneath his breath
There! He found Renzo in the car
"Are you done?"
"It ain't easy, we ain't got enough clients yet"
"Find 'em! I sustain y'all, you know that"
"No you ain't! Someone tried to kill us all, you promised your protection. If I got to work with you then you got to play your part and maybe you should leave Mo and Ty outta this. I could handle this shit, they don't fucking have to be a part if this" he countered
"That's not an option!" He defended himself
"How did it go? Found them?" Cane asked
"I don't Make shit fly if it ain't fly. Braden and Dean were not there....she's really a bitch" Renzo added
Renzo gave him 5 envelopes of money, Came knew it was substantial cash
"Here's ya cut!"
"This is more than you owe me, man! Thanks!" He beamed
"I'ma need you to end Angie, can you?" He looked more serious
"You wouldn't give extra without a condition, would ya?" Cane asked back
Renzo frowned And groaned, Cane understood his actions
"She's been on my mind.." He agreed
"Think about it, she's rather only reason we got problems, right? She won't protect you even if she had a chance..."
"Dre could do it." Cane opted
Renzo continued regardless
"Did she ever tell you why she killed your parents?"
Cane was beginning to get confused
"What did you mean, there was an accident" Cane said
"That's what she made you believe. Did she tell 'bout Braden?" He stirred up
Cane got pissed in no time. His temperament ticked its bomb
"I'm holed up, I don't get it"
"You got a fuckin reason to hit her bitch ass off" Renzo finalized
"Cane got out of the car immediately it halted. He headed to Angie's hideout without thinking twice even though he guessed her actions. He snuck in meeting her asleep, he stood in front of her pointing at her with a gun. She got startled not expecting Cane to know her whereabouts
"Wh--what do you want Cane?" She stuttered
"You think you could sell us off to Braden, how bout Quincy? He gets to breath while we die?" He questioned with a fierce face
"I dunno what you're talking about, boy...."
She triggered his anger, Cane hated it to be belittled be shot her lamp stand, causing her to quivered
"I ain't no fuckin boy, bitch. You really should give thanks, pay your dues...."
"Please! How much you gonna need? I'll pay off, I promise. Don't just hurt me, Cane please" she pleaded
"Not you. Quincy is all I got to go thru you......and Braden?"
"I don't understand. He's only a connect, you know that. He was gonna give you extra....." She began
"Why Joe Deacon and Goldie?" He stirred up
"Your parents?" She corrected
"You think I don't know that? Bitch, are you gonna answer or not?" He yelled out
She began to stutter, being speechless. Renzo was right about her hiding the truth.
"You got no excuse, bitch. You don't. How about your baby boyfriend, Braden? I always knew you never deserved Malcolm, he was a good dog. Talk?" He yelled again
"Your uncle.....J.D's brother" she confessed in tears
"He hates us so much, I get it!"
He got a text from Monet
'Where you at? We got test nigga'
"Cane im sorry...I'll do whatever you ask, I promise" she pleaded desperately
"Sure you would. I'll always find you. I know perfectly well where Braden and Dean are. Help yourself before the clock ticks!" He warned
"HC's VIP lounge! I swear you can find 'em" she confessed without trifling
"Oh really! I didn't ask that. Its you I'm after not them, see?"
"I won't leave, stay off quincy" she pleaded again
"Did you like your home's decor" he smirked shooting her left arm and left.
Angie was helpless but she tried to pick herself up to the bathroom for some aid.
Cane got to the room's door then Baldwin stopped him.
"Still hustling at 10pm?"
"None of your business a'ight! " Cane answered calmly "every strong black man out there would never know dark when it comes to paper."
"Y'all black men stain the image we try to put up, so bad" Baldwin defended
"Are you a cat?" Cane challenged
"Be careful kid! I might..."
"Just take you off like you be er existed" he calmly said
"Really?"
Baldwin walked away brushing shoulders with Cane to upset him
No doubt, Cane said his piece of mind stylishly. Monet and Tyrone were studying when ve entered. They turned to him on hearing them
"Really Cane?" She couldn't hide her anger
"Nigga" Ty shook Cane "Renzo held ya?"
"Oh really? You knew? I'm not surprised" she turned away "what's on us thia time, we're bot done"
"I'm sorry y'all. I was at Angie's...."
"Not a re-up!" Ty added
"Am I stupid? She killed our parents, it wasn't an accident--hehe lied this whole time. She fucked with us, Mo? She got Ty involved in this mess, do we have to run for our lives as always?" He flared up
"Bro keep it low a'ight, we don't wanna make it worse please" Ty tried to calm his friend
"How did you know. She couldn't" Mo turned to then finally
"That's your fucking issue! She gets into your head, cheating you in the end of it"
Cane flared again. He threw his bag on The ground, his gun on the table taking off his shirt exposing his abs and biceps
"Good Cane. Best twin in the city
All hanks to you. I'm the asshole, as always" she said angrily
"Renzo told me---hof course he knows things we don't" he yelled back
"Guys this getting intensed y'all. We got to study...".
Tyrone couldn't watch them throw punches even if they would not.
"Shut the fuck up" the twins said in unison
"Ok twins, I also got rights to this room entirely" he told them regardless
"To spice it all up, Baldwin is yo' uncle" he turned to Mo, emptying the bag of monet
"Woah bro! Where did you get this shit from? We ain't got nothing like this yeah?" Ty added in shock
"Baldwin's gotta chase us soon....He's hiding at HC's VIP lounge..cool off guys. Renzo's got us covered Y'all" he smiled "its Angie we gon take off"
"Renzo paid you to do it? Kill our Aunt?" She frowned
"Busta seriously? She's family" Ty added sarcastically
"Not really, its our cut. He suggested but I ain't gonna do that" he explained in seriousness
"Bitch let's hit it." She got excited swaying "you gon wait another minute spilling out the beans. Cops are digging bro!" Mo persuaded
"Let me handle it bro, she's a bitch sorry to say" Ty opted wholeheartedly
"Sorry? She's a snitch....Renzo's good with us, much comfortable around us..." Babe said
"Just you!" Ty added
"I said 'US'. Nigga, he's been protecting us and he'd always do that!" Came defended
"All these shit?" Mo danced spraying money in the air
They were excited, money settled the differences between them all. Cane brought up Baldwin's Case
"Baldwin's been taking my problem too damn serious lately"
"There he goes again, Taraji got us covered" Ty teased
"She's sexy anyway, too young for a professor" Cane complimented
"Really? Do you ever like someone?" Ty asked Cane
"I like her, she's good for you" Monet supported
"Of course, coz you got Jalen..." Ty teased
"Yeah I do, rich motherfucker a over my bitch!" She replied Ty "seriously ate you gay, Ty?"
"Bro code" Cane turned to Tyrone and they laughed
"Fuck bro code" Monet added
Cane reminded them about test, urging them to prepare for it. They turned to settle on their notes
"You guys go ahead. Gimme minutes"
He turned to text Renzo
'Braden and Dean at HC's VIP
lounge , you gonna need him
before the cops'
Tyrone noticed Cane texting
"Chatting up Taraji?" Ty teased
"Fuck you bro!"
