“Other spot jumping like this?”
“I ain’t been over there yet tonight, but it should be. Gambling, liquor and pussy always make a nigga money.”
“We need to ride by there so you can show me the spot.”
“I’ma tell you like I told Sherman, that spot is a fucking gold mine. Everybody gonna get paid on that joint. If you don’t believe shit else I say, believe that.”
“You know I trust you, Whitey,” I said and looked around for Wanda. “By the way, who’s the new guy on the door?”
“Nigga’s name is Carter Garrison. Did some time with King, just got out a couple of days ago. King says the kid hits like a freight train.”
“Nigga like that is always good to have around,” I said and took another look at him. It was then that I saw Leon Copeland at the door and he was all up in the new guy’s face. He drew back like he was about to bust Leon in the chest, but King grabbed his arm and got between them.
Once King got Leon settled down, he let him in and I watched as Leon began wandering around like he was looking for somebody. I had known Leon since we were kids. We used to go to church together, if you can believe that. Now he was dealing for Andre and I was a killer.
Anyway, like I said, I had known Leon a long time, so I knew that he was mad about something and I had a feeling that I knew what he was mad about. I looked at the poker table and sure as shit, there she was.
Leon’s woman, Nicole was standing behind a baller named Go-Go that everybody knew she was fuckin’ behind Leon’s back. I guess everybody now included Leon.
“Excuse me, Whitey,” I said and moved toward the poker table. Go-Go owed Montel a lot of money; my money now. And now Whitey says he was talking like he wasn’t gonna pay. On top of that, Go-Go was the kind of mutha fucka that liked to talk a lotta shit and then pull his gun.
I didn’t need that shit. Not tonight.
I looked around for Wanda and didn’t see her anywhere.
“Shit,” I said aloud as Leon reached the table and grabbed Nicole by the arm.
“So, it’s true. You fuckin’ this nigga?” Leon asked.
Nicole jerked her arm back. “Let go of me!” she shouted.
Go-Go bounced out of his seat and tried to get between them, but Leon stiff armed him in the face and pushed Go-Go backwards. “This shit got nothing to do with you, mutha fucka. I’ll deal with you later!” Leon shouted and turned to Nicole. “Get your shit and get outta here,” Leon said and grabbed her by the arm.
Just then, Go-Go slapped the shit outta Leon.
“Get your hands off my woman!” Go-Go shouted and I thought that he was getting ready to pull his gun, but to my surprise, Leon pulled one first and hit Go-Go in the face so hard that he dropped to his knees.
“Your woman! Your woman!” Leon put the gun to Go-Go’s head. “I oughta kill you right now!”
The house got quiet and I watched the gun begin to shake a little in Leon’s hand.
He put the barrel against Go-Go’s forehead. “I oughta kill you right now for disrespec
ting me!” Leon yelled, but it wasn’t long before he moved the gun away from Go-Go’s head slowly.
“I knew you couldn’t do it. I fucked your bitch and you still can’t do it ’cause you a punk mutha fucka!” Go-Go said and that shit pissed me off.
I stepped up and put the barrel of my gun to Go-Go’s head. “But I ain’t no punk mutha fucka,” I said and pulled the trigger.
Wanda rushed up behind me. “I thought that you weren’t going to kill anybody.”
“Yeah, well, I didn’t like the nigga no way.”
Chapter Five
The following morning, I woke up in bed with Michaella, thinking about Vickie. I guess it’s natural, but I can’t get her out of my mind. And I wanted to. I didn’t want to deal with all the guilt and pain I felt. I wanted to do something, anything to dull the pain. Anything to make it stop.
“I gotta go to work, Mike,” Michaella said dragging me out of thoughts of Vickie. “You need me to take you somewhere?”
