look back at the camera.

"Not shit on my way to Ashton crib." I told her resting my elbow on the arm rest holding the phone up.

"What y'all finna do?" Jaylon asked in the background.

"Who that?" I asked.

"Jaylon." She said bluntly.

"What y'all got going?" I asked wondering what he needed.

"I'm helping Jaylon actually learn how to do the work instead of looking up every answer he see." She said looking over at him rolling her eyes.

"Hi, how can I help you today?" The lady at the front desk asked. I showed her the items I was looking for. We did the payments and everything we needed.

"Here you go thank you for your shopping with us today." She told me handing me my bag.

"Mhm." I nodded grabbing the bag I walked out the store.

"They got moe man...them Mexican mother fuckers." Josh ranted moe was his homie from way back.

"Don't do nothing stupid meet me back at the stash." I told him shaking my head as he hung up.

AT THE STASH HOUSE

"They killed him 3, we need to light that bitch up." Josh said as soon as I came inside.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked waiting on a response he looked over at someone else as they began to speak.

"We had just came back in town and stopped at a gas station I went over to a taco truck then turned around seeing him start some shit with a random I couldn't really hear nothing. On my way to him I heard gun shots and seen him hit the ground." He explained I looked at him.

"Where was y'all at?" I asked till Josh walked up on me.

"Fuck all this talking we need to go murk them niggas." I shook my head as I looked at my phone seeing an unknown number.

"Don't do shit till I tell y'all." I told them as I was about to walk out.

"Is you crazy? All the work we put in for you." He added looking for some type of sympathy.

"Y'all watch him." I answered the phone and went down the stairs to my car.

"I'm assuming you heard?" Pop asked.

"Hell yeah."

"You know where I'm at." He said before hanging up, pop was also known in the drug industry. We had our problems at first but we came to an agreement and made it clear everybody can eat.

I got in the car and made my way through his hoods pulling up where he be chilling at.

I grabbed the duffel bag and reached back putting on the ground and throwing my hoodie over it. I got out the car and went up to the door I had all eyes on me as I got to the door.

"You lost?" Dude asked stepping up to me.

"Nahh where pop?" I asked he looked at my car as I locked the door.

"I don't think he know where he at." Another dude on side of me added. I looked over and seen pop nephew walk up the porch.

"Chill out." He said moving ole dude out the way he dapped me up. He opened the door and we walked inside.

"Heard about your mans today, I'm guessing that's why you here." He asked looking over at me and I nodded.

"Yeah." We walked to the back of the house and seeing pop doing a line of coke off a girls shoulder. He turned around and looked at me holding his arms up smiling.

"You're growing well, heard your name a few times since we've last talked." He dapped me up and patted my back.

"Damn thought I was keeping shit cool." I admitted making him looked at me.

"But aye what the fuck happened?" I asked not trying to be here no longer than I have to.

"My dude said he was chilling when your man walked into him, he said he was willing to let it go but the kid started getting heated. He ended up saying the wrong thing to the wrong mother fucker." Pop explained I shook my head.

"Ain't shit to talk about then." I said and he smiled.

"Not at all..." pop agreed.

"Keep your people from around here or-"

"Aye don't tell me what the fuck I need to do." I looked at a random leaned up on a wall. he stood up acting like he want to do something.

"Alrightt, we good?" Pop asked me I looked back at him and nodded.

"Bye fuck boy." I looked at him as I got inside my car. I shook my head and drove off I went back to the stash to let everybody know what's up.

"Come inside." I told the few people who were put we walked in and Josh stood up as he looked at me.

"I need y'all to keep y'all distance from that side of town for a little while let shit die down." I told them.

"Fuck you mean? You gone let them niggas get away with that shit?" Josh asked.

"If I hear one thing about you I will kill you myself, go bury your dead." I said looking down counting out some money handing it to him for the funeral. He took the money and walked off.
