“The ones trying to run out with the money,” Baby Chris added. “Simple.”
“And a whole lot less messy,” Travis said.
“I like it,” Jackie said and laughed. “You been hangin’ around Monika too much.”
“And you haven’t been hangin’ around her enough,” Travis teased. “Wanna run up in the place, all gangster like and shit, with guns blazin’.”
So it was set. After a quick stop at Conversations for the necessary equipment, they went on to hit the objective. And the hit went off smooth and easy, exactly the way Travis said.
Once Baby Chris killed the doorman, Travis tossed in a couple of flash bang grenades, the powerful flash of light and the loud noise disoriented everybody in the room, and they were able to slip in unnoticed with gas masks and night vision goggles on. Then Jackie and Baby Chris threw in two smoke grenades a piece, from either side of the room.
As the room filled with smoke, everybody started rushing toward and crowding the exits to get out, just as Travis suggested they would. In the ensuing confusion, it was easy to identify and eliminate Coleman’s men because, as Baby Chris suggested, they were the ones with the guns that were trying to make their way out with the money.
With that out of the way, Baby Chris checked to make sure that the place was empty, while Jackie and Travis set the explosives. Once they were out of the building and away, Jackie pressed the detonator and blew the place.
Simple.
Chapter Thirty-four
When R.J. arrived at Doc’s, he parked his car outside and walked toward the building. He had gone by The Four Kings earlier and Monique told him that he needed to meet Marvin, Pills and Judah there.
Once he was inside, R.J. stopped, looked around and noticed that there were a lot of new faces. Not seeing his crew, he wandered around the place looking, and when he didn’t see them anywhere, R.J. grabbed the first dancer he saw. She threw her arms around his neck.
“Hey, R.J.,” Kalona said, and then she kissed him while she grinded her body against his.
“What’s up, Kalona? You seen Judah and them?”
“They’re in Doc’s office waiting for you,” she said.
“Thanks, Kalona.”
“Holla at me before you go. I was thinking about gettin’ outta here and hangin’ out,” she said loudly as R.J. made his way to the office.
I don’t think so.
There was a time when he would have taken Kalona up on her offer. They had hung out a few times before and they always had a good time.
But that was then; now things were different.
“What’s up, Kings?” R.J. said when he walked into the office.
“Fuck you been?” Marvin asked.
R.J. sat down. “I met a woman recently and we spent the weekend together. Why, did something happen?”
“Oh, nothing much,” Judah said. He was seated in Doc’s chair with his feet on the desk. “Rain got shot.”
“What?” He certainly wasn’t expecting to hear that. “Is she all right?” R.J. asked in shock.
“Of course she’s all right,” Marvin said.
“Ain’t you heard; Rain Robinson is invincible,” Pills said.
Everybody laughed, but the laughter quickly subsided.
“Anything else?” R.J. asked.
Judah laughed. “Like Rain getting shot ain’t enough.”
