“I will do that as soon as we conclude this meeting.”
I stuck my head out the door and saw Princeton and Deyshonda waiting in the chairs near Gretchen’s desk.
“Princeton, Deyshonda please come in.”
They entered the conference room and sat at the table.
“I need for you both to tell us everything. From the beginning to the end. How you ran your operation down to who is running it now. How did you meet? What was the exit plan? Who did you discuss your plan with? Who else knew your operation? Were there any missteps when executing the exit plan?”
We sat in the conference room while Princeton and Deyshonda explained every detail of their operation to us.
“Is there anyone that worked for you or your enemies who could have turned state’s evidence?”
“No, everyone that was close to us has all been accounted for all the way down to the corner boys,” Deyshonda answered.
“We double checked when El told us they had a witness,” Princeton responded.
“Deyshonda, no jealous girls around the way that maybe want what you have?”
“Of course, but none of them hoes were ever close enough to know my business like that.”
Everyone called out ideas about who the witness could be. I looked over the list of witnesses the DA gave us while everyone asked their questions.
“Wait, do you know who is missing from this list? Police officers. I mean they have the ones who came to serve the warrant, but if you were so busy in the streets, I’m sure they would have called at least one officer to testify to something he saw going on. Did you have any officers on your payroll?”
“We had two but one at a time,” Princeton responded.
Deyshonda quickly turned in her chair and faced Princeton, “Oh my god, Ro…I mean Princeton. Do you think it’s Wilkins still holding a grudge?”
“Wilkins? What’s his first name?” Countee asked.
“Tremaine,” Princeton fumed.
“That muthafucka,” Deyshonda said. “It’s him isn’t it?”
“Let me check,” Countee said as he stood and exited the room.
“I knew I should have ended that nigga when I had the chance,” Deyshonda slapped the table.
Countee entered the room a few minutes later.
“It’s him. No one has heard from him in weeks. He is on a leave of absence from the job, and his family has moved. Probably preparing him for witness protection.”
“We can find his family,” Deyshonda began.
“No! We are not finding his family. We are going to do things the smart way. Listen to me, everyone, we are not calling audibles. We are not making plans as we go. All decisions need to be discussed. No witness tampering and definitely no family tampering. Are we clear?”
Everyone nodded.
“Okay, I need all the information on him. Does he gamble? Did he have a paramour a.k.a. side chick? Was he the side dick?” I looked at Samuel in just enough time to catch his side eye. “I want to know everything then I want to get him on the stand and shred his ass.”
Everyone left the conference room with a game plan. We decided that all pertinent information about the case would be discussed in person and in a secure location.

“I wantit to be a complete experience, a one-stop-shop for adult fun at night and family fun during the day. It will have floors of entertainment including, a driving range like Top Golf, a full go-cart track, old school and new school arcade games, laser tag rooms, trampoline rooms and indoor skydiving. It will have four different restaurants specializing in different cuisines. One restaurant will specialize in burgers, one in pizza, one in fried chicken of course and then another more upscale restaurant will focus on more high-end type foods. Ulysses is going to partner with me on that one. Each area will have a bar except for the go-cart area. There will be rooms available for receptions, corporate events, and birthday parties,” Roc explained.
Ray, Countee, Xavier, Roc and I were out to dinner in an attempt to give ourselves a break from the case and bring some normalcy back to our lives. I know each man at this table had the trial in the front of their minds, but we were trying not to discuss it.
