‘Cause all that bitch care about is gettin’ her fuckin’ respect and gettin’ her fuckin’ money.
When Jackie got to Jimmy’s with Baby Chris, Chet Bright was at the bar with a woman named Rynnelle and they were in each other’s faces. Going at it and getting loud with it, but it was Jimmy’s and there was always somebody getting loud, so it was no big deal. When Jackie walked in, Baby Chris went to find them a table. When none was available, he made some people get out of a booth, so Jackie could sit and talk to Chet Bright.
Baby Chris went to the bar and tapped Chet Bright on the shoulder. “Jackie is here,” Baby Chris said when Chet Bright turned his way.
“I’ll be right there,” Chet Bright said and then he got right back in her face.
Baby Chris shook his head and went to sit down at the table with Jackie to wait. A server came, took their drink orders and had returned with the drinks and Chet Bright and his female companion were still at the bar going back and forth with each other. Jackie looked at Chet Bright and then to Baby Chris. He got up, went back to the bar and stepped between the two combatants.
“Are you really gonna keep your captain waiting?”
“I said I’ll be right there.”
Baby Chris leaned forward and got in his ear. “I like you Chet, so don’t make me put a gun to your head and walk you over there.”
“Right,” Chet Bright said.
“After you,” Baby Chris said, extending his hand toward the table where Jackie was waiting. Chet Bright walked away and then Baby Chris turned and looked at Rynnelle. “He’s gonna be a while.”
“And I’ll be right here,” she said quietly to the back of Baby Chris’s head as he walked away. Chet Bright sat down at the table with Jackie and Baby Chris sat down next to her.
“What’s up, Jackie?” Chet Bright asked.
“You tell me what’s up?”
“Ain’t nothing up.”
“That’s not the way I hear it. Talk is that you’ve been slippin’ and your crew’s had your back.”
“And I said, ain’t nothing up,” Chet Bright said angrily. “Just got some snitchin’ ass cowards runnin’ behind my back tellin’ this pretty nigga some bullshit.” He looked at Baby Chris and pointed. “And if you ever think about puttin’ a gun in my face, I will kill you.”
“I hear you,” Baby Chris said.
Chet Bright looked toward the bar and signaled to Rynnelle. She picked up the briefcase at her feet and brought it to the table. When she placed it on the table in front of Jackie, Chet Bright told her to open it. ?
?That’s the hundred grand them snitches say I was short.”
“You don’t owe that to me. They the ones that covered you, you should be handing them that money.” Jackie closed the case and pushed it toward Chet Bright.
“No, I don’t owe you. This money is my way of sayin’ to you that I’m straight. Ain’t nothing wrong with me or my program,” he said and pushed it back.
“Gratefully accepted.” Jackie pushed the case toward Baby Chris. “What about your crew?”
“You leave them snitchin’ ass niggas to me.”
“Baby Chris was just doing his job. Keeping me up on shit, just like Flex does for you,” Jackie reminded, and Chet Bright smiled.
“Flex the one that put me on to them snitchin’ ass niggas running behind my back,” Chet Bright said and extended his hand toward Baby Chris. “We good?”
Baby Chris shook his hand. “We good.”
“But I meant what I said about killing you.”
“I took you seriously when you said it,” Baby Chris said as Carter came in Jimmy’s with Hassan and Geno.
“I need to talk to Carter,” Jackie said and both Baby Chris and Chet Bright got up and left the table. When they did, Carter sat down.
“What’s up?” he asked Jackie.
