When I did finally catch up with him, he was sure we could work something out. I looked at Big Ed, shook my head, raised my weapon and shot Big Ed twice in the head.
“What you do that for?” Freeze asked.
“I didn’t like the way he was looking at me.”
“So, what you wanna do now?” Freeze asked, shaking his head.
“Search the place. See if we find any money.”
Freeze found twenty grand and a bunch of dope, so Andre wasn’t too mad when I told him that I had killed him. The reason for that was in addition to killing Big Ed, me and The Kid killed four more of his men.
“Damn it, Mike.”
“What was I supposed to do? Let them kill us?”
“Listen, Mike, I know you’re upset about Vickie and shit, but you ain’t gotta kill everybody. You keep this up and I’ll be out of business.”
“No, you won’t. Somebody will always be willing to step into the void.”
“I know that, Mike, it was a figure of speech.” Andre shook his head, but a few days later, he was calling again. “I need you to go see Dexter Corey and I don’t want you to kill him. Just get my money from that nigga, but I need him alive, Mike. You understand me?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Take Bobby with you.”
“Okay,” I said and left Andre’s office.
But instead of getting Bobby to go with me as I had been instructed, I went alone because I didn’t like Dexter’s shit-talking ass and I had wanted to kill him for years. Andre knows that, so I guess that’s why he insisted that I take Bobby with me. But I didn’t care what Andre said, I was going to kill Dexter and even if Bobby was with me, he wouldn’t stop me.
When I got to the house where Dexter did business, his boy, Kojo opened the door. I could tell by the look on his face that he was surprised to see me, and my being there worried him. Before he let me in the house, he looked around, maybe to see if I was alone, I don’t know. After that, he let me in. Kojo led me to the back of the house where Dexter and two more of his men, Taylan and Simeon, were in there with him. They didn’t look happy to see me either.
“What’s up?” I said and sat down.
“Nothing, Black, what’s up with you?” Dexter asked.
“Why you wanna play like you’re stupid, Dex? You fuckin’ know what’s up. Andre wants his fuckin’ money. Now stop fuckin’ around with me and go get that money.”
I could tell that both Taylan and Simeon were moving around behind me, but I couldn’t see them or what they were doing.
“Well, Black, it’s like this–” Dexter began, but I wasn’t trying to hear whatever he was about to say. I took out my gun, turned and shot Taylan and then Simeon.
Dexter jumped out of his chair. “Damn, Black!”
I glanced at Kojo and motioned with my gun. “Why don’t you move over there where I can see you.” Kojo moved around in front of me. “And put your gun on the table.”
Once he was where I could see him and was unarmed, I turned my attention to Dexter.
“Now, what were you saying?”
“I wa … I wa … I was …”
“You were just about to go get my fuckin’ money, weren’t you, Dex?”
“Yeah, yeah, Black.” He looked back at Kojo. “Go get the money,” Dexter said, and he quickly got my money.
“There you go, Black,” Kojo said when he sat the bag in front of me.
“It’s all there, Black.” Dexter pointed at me. “You tell Andre that I’m sorry about being late and it won’t happen again. You tell him I said that.”
