Fast Money and Cold Hearts

  Chapter 9

  “Argh! Argh! Argh! The bald, red faced Russian yelled at the top of his lungs.

  I took the index finger on his right hand, and snapped it, just like I had his pinky finger, ring finger and his middle finger. All of them were broken with the bones sticking out of the sides of them.

  Nastia had him chained to the wall in her dungeon. Sweat dripped from his face, and off of his chin. She walked up to him, and stroked his cheek. “Are you going to sign over your shares. I need an answer now.”

  “ You don’t know what you’re doing Nastia. I swear. I was a loyal partner to your father. We made millions together. Its because of me that you are so wealthy. I am not Boscoe. I would never screw you over. You don’t have to get rid of me.” He declared. “You don’t have to do this.”

  She grabbed his face with her left hand. “You insufferable son of a bitch. Answer the fucking question. Are you going to sign over your shares to me, or will the signings come from your wife? I’m sure she’ll be happy to step in and handle this side of the business. Will you or not?!” She slapped him as hard as she could.

  He hawked and spit a loogie into her face. It splashed against her forehead, and rolled off of her nose. “You ungrateful, rich, bitch. You think because you let your old man treat you as his common whore that you’re going to take over a pharmaceutical company that I’ve worked so hard to build from the ground up. One that is worth billions. Well if you think that you can kiss my ass. I mean really fucking kiss it. You’re nothin more than Serge’s leftovers, his trash.” He spit again. This time it landed on her Prada dress.

  I grabbed him by the throat, and slammed the knife into his shoulder. I twisted it in a full circle, and shoved it deeper until it hit his bone. I could feel the steel scraping against. It encouraged me to inflict even more pain.

  “Arghgggg!” He stomped his feet, and fought against the chains that had him bound.

  Nastia wiped the spit from her face with a handkerchief. Then she removed the excess amount from her dress. She mugged him. “So, we’re going to go this route are we? Okay.” took three times back, and looked over to me. “Take off those ears. He seems as if he can’t hear what I am asking him to do anyway.”

  “No problem.” I returned.

  “No. No. No.” He hollered.

  I held his forehead, and slammed it backward into the brick wall , sliced both of his ears lobes off simultaneously, and dropped them to the floor. With a wicked smile I took a step back and admired my work.

  “Argggh! Argggh!” Blood ran from the sides of his face, and along his neck in thick globs. He choked on his own spit, and began to cough loudly.

  Nastia bent over and pulled some paperwork out of a briefcase that she’d brought along with her. “Olaf, I have the papers right here. All I need you to do is to sign the paperwork and we’ll be on about our business. Sounds easy enough, right?” Her heels tapped on the floor as she made her way back over to him.

  Blood poured out of his ears like red maple syrup. He yelled at her in Russian. Olaf snapped out, fighting against the chains again with no success. “You bitch, you have no idea how many things our company is tied to. We have to answer not only to Putin here in Russia, but the powers that be way up on the totem pole of the middle east, and the United States. We fix elections you dumb girl. All you see is money. It’ll be the death of you.” He slumped against the chains, and snapped. “Let me the fuck out of here!”

  “So does that mean that you’re going to sign the papers, orrrrrr.....” She asked.

  Even I had to laugh at that. But now at least things were starting to make sense for me. Nastia was in pursuit of a billion dollar pharmaceutical company. We were in Russian so she could knock off the share holders of her father’s company. I only wondered why she’d chosen to use me and Mikey to lay the bastards down? She could’ve just as easily used any of her trained assassins to handle the jobs, but for some reason she’d chosen to use me and him. I needed to get to the bottom of that.

  “Over my dead body. You hear me, bitch?! Over my fuckin dead body!” He spat.

  Nastia shrugged her shoulders. “As you wish.” She nodded at me.

  I took a deep breath and stood in front of him. His eyes were as big as saucers. I looked back at Nastia. “Its a wrap?”

  “Its a wrap, baby. Finish him.” She replaced the papers into the briefcase, and stood back so she could watch me dead his ass.

  I stepped forward, and went on a rampage, stabbing him over and over. In the stomach. In the chest. In the neck. In the face. Over and over, imagining that he was Mikey. The blade tore his muscles and tissues. He coughed up a bunch of blood and started to gag.

  I stood back. My blade dripping blood, all over the ground.

  Nastia stepped along side him and shook her head. “What a waste. Luckily for us in Moscow a wife can sign for her husband. They are viewed as one complete entity. You won’t have any problems signing over these documents will you now Romana?”

  Mikey yanked the tape off of her mouth, and flung her to the floor. “Speak bitch.”

  “No. I’ll sign them. I’ll sign them right now.” She swore.

  Mikey grabbed a handful of her hair, and yanked her to her feet causing her to scream. He slammed her against the brick wall. Placed his forehead against hers. “After you sign these papers you will keep your mouth shut for at least a month. Do you hear me?”

  “Yes. I swear. I won’t utter a word.” She assured.

  Nastia smiled, and handed her the pen. “Here you go Sweetie. Sign your name on the bottom line, and his should go at the top. So sorry for the inconvenience, but business is business.

  ***

  Two hours later as I was showering and washing the blood off of me, there was a knock on the door, and then it swung inward. I peeked out of the shower curtain to see Mikey’s punk ass face. “Say bruh, I’m in here, Mane. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”

  “Nigga I know you in here. Damn. If you’d shut the fuck up for a minute maybe you’d see my reason for coming in here right now. Huh.” He handed his phone toward me.

  I though the was trying to set me up. Knew it couldn’t be anybody on the phone other than Alicia. “I’m showering, Mane. Ain’t nobody on that bitch I wanna talk to.” I waved him off, and closed the shower curtain back. “I’ll be out in a minute, Mane.”

  “Its Shanté’s birthday in two days Potna. I just thought since you saved a nigga from a bullet a few days ago that the least I could do was allow you to talk to your baby girl. After all, she is innocent in all of this.”

  I yanked the curtain back open, and dried my face with my left hand. “Are you shitting me, Bruh?”

  He shook his head. “N’all, enjoy your call Mane. We got some shit we need to talk about before we leave Moscow too, bruh. This experience has been eye opening for me.” He handed me the phone and stepped out of the bathroom.

  I felt the tears slide down my face right away. I placed the phone to my ear. “Hello, baby, is that you?”

  “Daddy. Daddy, where are you?” Shanté cried.

  “I’m right here lil momma. Daddy is right here. I miss you so so much baby.” Damn I was crying.

  She began to sob. “I miss you too daddy. I wanna come home with you. I don’t like it here. Everybody is so mean.” She cried even harder. “Can you come and get me? Please? I promise I’ll be good. I won’t mess up no more.”

  I was crying so hard that my eyes were burning. I was shaking. “Baby listen to me, I’m coming to get you in a few days. Can you be strong for me until then? Please mommas?” Man this was hurting my heart. I knew my daughter needed me. I wanted to kill Mikey in the worst way for putting her through this. She was just a baby in my eyes. She always would be. My baby. My first child. I loved her with all my heart and soul.

  “A few days is a long long time daddeee?” More crying. “Why can’t you just come and get me right now? I don’t want to be here. I hate it here!” She screamed and started to cough, and
cry loudly.

  Now I was in the bathroom on my knees. My head lowered, breaking down worse that I ever had in my entire life. I felt sicker than a dog. “Baby, I’m coming. Just please be strong for me. Please. I need you to be as strong as possible and I will be right there to get you. You have my word on that. Do you hear me?”

  Shante was crying so loud that I didn’t think she heard me, and then her side of the phone just went dead. That took the life out of me. I felt like somebody was holding a pillow over my face, and stopping me from breathing.

  “Hello? Hello? Baby girl. Baby girl. Mikey’s phone went black, and shut off.

  I dropped it, and cried my heart out for the next twenty minutes. When I was strong enough to save face, I busted into the bedroom that Mikey was staying in, and found Nastia on top of him riding him with her blond head thrown back. She moaned at the top of her lungs as if he were killing her.

  “Mikey! We need to talk!” I hollered.

  Nastia saw that it was me, and fell off of him. “Phoenix. Oh my God, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry babe.”

  I waved her off. “Bitch I don’t care that you fuckin him. This about my daughter. I want my baby back, Mane! I’ll give you whatever you want.”

  He stood up, and pulled his boxers up his thighs. “Nastia give us the room for a minute. Me and the Homie need to get an understanding.”

  She wrapped the sheet around her body, and scooted out of the bed. Stopped in front of me. “Are you angry at me Phoenix? Can we talk about this when you’re done in here?”

  I took a deep breath, and looked down at her. “Bitch I’ll holler at you later. I don’t care who you fuck. This aint got nothin to do wit you. Its about my baby. This bitch nigga kidnapped my daughter. I want my shawty, Mane. She say mafuckas being mean to her and everythang. I don’t play about my shawty.”

  “You did what?”“ Nastia asked taking aback.

  “Say Nastia this Memphis bidness. Take yo white ass out there until we figure this shit out. You getting on my nerves. You and this snitch nigga.”

  “White ass?” She dropped the sheet and walked up on him and grabbed him by the throat. “You son of a Bitch don’t you ever talk to me like that. I’ll bury your ass underneath the Statue of Liberty if I wanted too. Show me some respect.” She spat.

  Mikey mugged her and didn’t utter a word after she released him with a push of her hand.

  “You will release his daughter at once, of our deal is off. You got that?”

  “But his ain’t got shit to do wit you Nastia. I held up my end of shit. Now you owe me what I got coming. You’re always catering to this nigga because of Taurus. Man fuck him and fuck Taurus!” He snapped.

  “No fuck you! You keep my father’s name out of your mouth. He’s deceased. He’s not here to stand up for himself but I am. So fuck you. I mean that.” Natalia said, walking into the room with a scowl on her face.

  Mikey smacked his lips. “Man... Now I got this bitch on my case.”

  Smack! Nastia hit him so hard that he spit across the blanket in the bedroom.

  He grabbed her by the throat, and held her for a minute. Just as I was about to rush over to her he let her go. “Man fuck this. You know what, he can have her lil ass back. I don’t need that lil girl to do what I got planned. But I’ma tell you one thing Nastia, when it comes this bidness shit, ain’t no such thang in you picking sides and shit shawty. It gotta be about the money, and that nigga can’t make more money for you then I can. Believe that shawty.” He mugged me, and curled up his nose.

  I stepped into his face. “Fuck nigga, when you gon release my baby?”

  He clenched his jaw and peered into by eyes with hatred. “Soon as we get back. As soon as we get done taking care of our bidness here. Get back home to Memphis, you can have that lil brat. Like I said before it ain’t about her anyway. Its about me, and you. And no matter what these bitches talking bout, before its all said and done, me and you gon handle this shit in the streets.” He bumped me, and walked out of the room.

  Nastia grabbed the sheets off of the floor, and covered her body, before following him. “I’ll be right back.” She disappeared from the room.

  Natalia came and stood in front of me. “You okay Phoenix?” She rested her hand on my shoulder, and gazed into my eyes.

  “I’ll be better when I get my lil girl back. That fuck nigga done had my baby for way too long. Soon as I get my lil one back its gone be a problem.” I usually wouldn’t have made a threat out loud. That was what ignorant cowards did in order to geek themselves up, but this wasn’t one of those situations. Mikey had me so angry that I found myself talking before I could stop myself. I didn’t give a fuck what took place I was gon murder his ass over kidnapping my daughter, and for popping me twice. Those were two unforgivable sins.

  “Damn he’s bogus. What kind of man does something like that to his best friend?” She looked out of the doorway with a angry mug on her face. “Then he had the nerves to disrespect my father. That’s two shots at my family at one time. He’ll get his. I don’t know what my mother has going on with him, but it doesn’t matter. He’s definitely going to get his.” She kissed me on the cheek, and left the room.

  I stood there watching the empty doorway. I had a million thoughts flowing through my mind at one time, and it made it so hard for me to focus on one thing. My head was spinning so bad that I got sick. I spent the rest of this night in my room lost in deep thought. All I kept thinking about was the fact that I was going to be getting my daughter back, and then what would happen after that. I truly felt within my soul that it was when the true war would begin, and I was going to make sure that I was ready for it.

  Chapter 10

  That night, I was awakened by the squeaking of my bed springs, and from the feel of somebody’s weight being added to the bed. I grabbed both Forty Fives, and sat up. Aimed them at the dark figure. “Move another inch, and on my shawty I’ma blow yo mafuckin head off of your shoulders. Now try me.” The room was so dark that I couldn’t see who the intruder was. Though I did smell a familiar perfume.

  “Ssh, boy. Shut up and put those guns away. Its Natalia. I been thinking about you all night, and I need you to hold me. Damn.” She whispered as she straddled my waist, and rested her small hands on my chest.

  I slowly leaned back, lid the guns back under the pillow, and brought my hands up to her waist and held her . “Where yo mama at?

  She leaned down, kissed my neck and sucked on it. “She had to step out for a minute. I think she’ll be back sometime in the afternoon. Who knows, and most importantly, who cares?” Natalia’s teeth nipped at my neck. “I want some of you Phoenix. I want you to fuck me. Add me to our family the way I’m supposed to be added.” She slid her hands under my beater, and rubbed all over my warm skin. Her fingers traced the deep ripples of my stomach muscles. She continued to suck my neck.

  I felt my temperature rising. My body began to yearn for her. I gripped her fat, soft ass. There was no panty line. I eased under her gown, and absorbed her heat, tracing a path all the way down to her pussy lips. After I ran my fingers over them, and felt her dew, I got hard as a rock.

  “Cuz go down there and bless me. Put this dick in your mouth. Come on baby.”

  “No problem.” Natalia pulled my beater over my head, and sucked all over my chest, licking the brown areolas and nipping at them with her teeth. Suddenly she was sucking further and further down. Natalia stuck her hand into my boxer hole, and pulled my piece through it. As she began stroking it up and down.

  “I still can’t believe how big this damn thing is. I love our family so much.” She sucked the head into her mouth, and got to chopping me, slurping up and down it with reckless abandon. Natalia made sure that her mouth was full of spit as she sucked me on all fours.

  I reached behind her, and gripped her ass the thin night gown up. My fingers slid down her ass crack, and ran circles around her anus. Then my finger dipped into her plump pussy. She was so hot that it felt like a silk oven.
I pulled my finger out and sucked it into my mouth and tasted her salty, savory juices. Before I knew it I was fingering her again, dipping into her swimming pool.

  Natalia’s sucking got faster her mouth held me tighter. She licked all over the head, then would take me back in the whole way. It felt so good that I got to groaning deep within my throat, while I sucked her pussy juices off of my fingers.

  “I want you to fuck me Phoenix. I want to be apart of you and our bloodline so bad.” Natalia continued sucking me, d.eep throating me like a true champion.

  I dipped in and out of her box and smacked her ass.

  “Come on baby. Give me some of this forbidden shit. I wanna fuck you right now.”

  Natalia squealed, and laid on her back, opening her thick thighs wide. Her pussy opened like a rose petal. I stuck my head between her legs, sniffed that forbidden box, and licked up and down her slit before I swallowed her juices and licked it some more. I held the lips apart, and sucked in her clitoris. It was sticking out like a big nipple.

  She jerked, and humped into my mouth. “Unnnn, Phoenix. It feels so good.” Natalia squeezed her ripe titties, pulled on the nipples and moaned loudly.

  I flicked her clit fingered her pussy hole, and ran circles with my tongue all over her love button. It got harder and harder. Natalia was so wet that it looked like she was peeing. I licked all of that shit up, and sucked hard in her clit. My fingers continued to go into overdrive. They ran in and out of her at full speed.

  She humped and humped into my mouth squealing, moaning, and shaking. Her pretty feet went into the air, bent at the knees, as she came all over my face.

  “Uhhh. Uhhh. Phoenix. Yes baby. Yes.”

  Natalia’s shaking became intense as I sucked her pussy lips together, then opened them all the way up and attacked her clit again. Her ass bounced off of the bed. She pulled my face into her lap, until she came a second time.
