Ham then quickly checked the other rooms and found no one inside any of them as well. As he walked closer to the master bedroom, he could hear soft moans of sexual pleasure. He slowly tried the knob and eased open the door. A television was on mute, illuminating the room, and Ham could see the covers moving on the king-sized bed. It was evident that he had walked up on two elders getting their groove on. They were too caught up in their groove to notice the threat behind them.
“Oh, Bob, I love you!” the old woman purred as the old man pumped in and out of her pussy with long, powerful strokes.
“Patty, I love you, honey!” Bob replied breathlessly to his wife of thirty years.
“Oh, Bob! Fuck me harder!”
Boom! Boom!
“No! Bob!” Patty screamed when Bob’s head exploded in blood and brains on her face.
“Bitch! Shut the fuck up!” Ham demanded as Patty jumped away from Bob and sat straight up against the headboard.
When she felt Ham staring at her naked breasts, she grabbed the covers and tried to cover her sagging tits and large erect nipples. Ham scared her when he snatched the covers away.
“I’ma ask you nicely, Patty, and one time only, or I’m going to fuck the shit out of your old ass!” Ham said as he pulled out his dick and showed Patty his enormous cock standing erect.
“Where is the money and everything worth something?” Ham demanded while stroking his cock.
“We have money in a safe in our home library. Please don’t harm me. I won’t report you,” she begged.
Ham put his dick back inside his pants and then walked up to Patty. He roughly grabbed her by her red hair, yanked her head back, and then looked her in her bloody green eyes.
“Get me to that safe, woman, and I will let you live. If you try any dumb shit, you will die!”
Patty was trembling badly, to the point that you could hear her teeth rattling.
“I promise I won’t try anything stupid,” Patty pleaded.
“Lead the way, old woman!” Ham ordered her as he pulled Patty from the bed by her hair.
Patty walked naked with Ham to the library. Once inside, she pressed a button that accessed the safe, dividing the shelf on the wall. Behind the shelf, Ham saw the built-in wall safe. Patty entered in the seven-digit passcode and opened the safe. When Ham saw the neat stacks of money, he got excited and smacked Patty on her sagging butt cheeks. Patty jumped, out of fear, and moved to the side.
“Come here, bitch! We’re ’bout to celebrate!” Ham said as he pulled out his erect dick.
“Please, mister, don’t hurt me!”
“If I have to tell you again, I will kill you. Now turn around and bend over, old lady,” Ham demanded.
As Patty did as she was told, Ham entered all of his cock into her from the back.
“Oh my Lord!” Patty shouted as Ham continued to plunge deeply inside of her pussy.
Ham fucked Patty like she was twenty years old. Her cries faded as she passed out unconscious from the unbearable pain to her senior vagina. As Ham fucked Patty, he stared at all the stacks of money and thought how lucky he was to pick the right home. He was back on the map and would make up with Tina for putting his hands on her.
After Ham came to his load, he shot his cum all over Patty’s butt cheeks and then pushed her to the floor of the safe. He aimed his Glock at her unconscious body, shot her twice in the head, and then proceeded to clean out the safe. When he was done, he locked Patty in the safe and then left the scene unnoticed.

AMANDA TOSSED AND turned in her sleep all night until she gave up, got out of bed, and walked into the kitchen to fix herself a cup of coffee. She couldn’t get the notion of Smooth lying to her out of her mind. It was Monday, and she had to stop at her doctor’s office.
I’ll go see him after I pick up my results and give him a piece of my mind, Amanda thought as she waited for her coffee to brew.
Despite Smooth’s bullshit, she was missing him like crazy. She reminded herself about all the times they had sex, as well as the times when he simply held her all night. Although she was number two in his life, Smooth treated her like number one.
He has no clue how deep he’s pulling himself in with me. It was only a matter of time before he left China and came to me, she thought. But would he have left that bitch after finding out that she was carrying his child?
She knew how baby mama attachments brought drama.
Was I ready to go through that with Smooth? she asked herself as she poured herself a cup of coffee and added cream and sugar to it.
“I can’t let that bitch take my man. I’ve been playing the fool long enough. That nigga either gonna choose or lose,” Amanda said as she took a sip.
She was definitely going to see Smooth today.

When Ham returned to the apartment, he was surprised to see Meka sitting on his worn-down sofa and hugging a crying Tina.
He was at a loss for words and high as a kite from smoking crack. After he had come up, he immediately drove to the Golden Gate area on Bonita Street and purchased five ounces of crack cocaine. Meka could see his decreased weight and the signs of a crackhead clearly.
This nigga smoking too! Meka thought as she continued to hold Tina in her arms.
“So you’re a woman beater now, huh?” Meka said to Ham, who sucked his teeth and then stormed into the bedroom.
Meka hopped up from the sofa and went after him.
“Damn it! I’m your fucking cousin, Ham. Don’t you ignore me! Nigga, you been acting crazy sense!”
“Them muthafuckas killed my cousin. These same niggas around this hood, Meka!” Ham shouted.
Meka could smell the crack smoke on him intensively. She couldn’t believe how low Ham had become.
“Nigga! So you smoking? What else are you doing against the code?” Meka asked.
“Man, fuck you! Get outta my shit!” Ham exploded.
“Who the fuck are you talking to, Ham?” Meka asked, shocked that Ham was talking to her in a manner in which he had never spoken.
“You’re high, nigga, and you need fucking help!” Meka exclaimed.
Ham tightened his jaws and looked at Meka, with his fist balled up like he was ready to pound her. Meka grew up fighting men her entire life, including some of Ham’s battles. She stood eye to eye with Ham, fearless of his hostility.
“If you feel froggy, nigga, jump!”
Before Meka could finish, she sidestepped Ham when he charged her, and caught him with a quick reflex two-piece to his jaw. Ham stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Bitch!” Ham shouted as he came to his knees and tried to stand up. However, he went right back down when Meka kicked him in his face with her fur boots.
“I got yo’ bitch, you snitching-ass nigga. You’re hiding from your guilt, nigga. You set Smooth up!” Meka screamed at Ham before kicking him again in his face.
“Meka, no!” Tina cried out as she hopped on top of Ham to prevent Meka from kicking him again.
Ham was too high to defend himself.
“Yeah, bitch! I snitched on that nigga. So what! You want to kill me now? I thought we were blood. That nigga’s not family!” Ham replied to Meka, after spitting a bloody tooth from his mouth.
“Nah, Ham! I ain’t gonna kill you. It’s not me you need to worry about,” Meka warned him as she stormed out of the apartment before Ham could see how hurt she was.
Meka couldn’t believe how bold Ham was. He had hate in his heart for Smooth. When she got into her Altima, she sat for a moment and wiped the tears from her eyes. She then pulled out her iPhone and replayed the entire conversation she had just had with Ham.
“Damn, Ham! Why? I love that man. You took something precious from me,” Meka cried. And then he has the nerve to be on crack, just like his baby mama! she thought. “Don’t worry, Smooth. Daddy coming home!” Meka said as she drove away from Ham’s apartment.
She did what Smooth had requested of her. Now she would wait unti
l he called her to give her further instructions.
When Meka pulled up to her apartment, she quickly stormed inside, locked the door behind her, and then stripped off her clothes. She hopped into a hot soothing shower and thought about Smooth. Meka rested her right leg on the edge of the tub and then began fondling her clit.
“Mmmm, Smooth!” Meka purred before she stuck two fingers inside her wet pussy flooding with her juices.
She thought in of how Smooth used to fuck her long, hard, and passionately.
He had been acting funny when his bitch came home. Now he will see how down I am for him, Meka thought as she intensified the strokes to her pussy.
“Uhhh, shit! Smooth!” Meka exclaimed in ecstasy as she came to an electrifying orgasm.

As China and Spencer walked toward the entrance of the jail, China was getting an incoming call from Smooth. “Fine time to call, don’t you think?” China asked Spencer.
“Smooth?”
“Who else?” China said.
She ignored the call and walked into the reception area of the jail. China rolled her eyes when she saw the same receptionist sitting in her chair, scrolling down her computer with her mouse. To China’s surprise, the receptionist assisted her as soon as she got to the counter.
“May I help you?” the receptionist said to China over the microphone.
“I’m here to see inmate Donavan Johnson.”
“One moment,” the receptionist requested as she looked up Smooth’s name on the computer. “Booth 29. He’ll be there shortly. Is he with you?” the receptionist asked, pointing at Spencer.
“Yes, he is!” China replied.
“Well, only one person back at a time. He will have to wait in the lobby until you’re done,” the receptionist informed China, smacking her bubblegum.
“Okay,” China said as she walked away from the counter with Spencer.
As they walked to the waiting lobby, China turned around and caught Spencer checking out her ass in her skintight jeans. China pretended not to notice his gawking.
“I’ll go back first and then let you kill the last fifteen minutes,” China said.
“Okay. I guess I’ll sit down and wait on you,” Spencer said as he took a seat and pulled out his phone.
“Don’t get yourself into any trouble,” China joked as she walked off and entered the hall of booths.
He was staring at my ass. I saw him, China thought to herself with a smile on her face. Men these days!
When Smooth came into the room, sat down at the booth, and saw China’s face, he almost lost his cool.
“Baby, what the fuck happen?” Smooth asked, enraged.
“Calm down, Smooth, and just be glad I’m alive. And definitely thank your friend Spencer for saving my life, baby.”
“What do you mean? Did you get into a car wreck? Is the baby okay?” Smooth asked with concern.
It hurt China so badly to have to tell Smooth that she lost the baby at the hands of his enemies.
“No, Smooth. I didn’t get in a car wreck.” China paused, holding back the tears was impossible. “We lost the baby!” China said as the tears flooded down her face.
“China!” Smooth choked on his own tears, feeling a hole form in the center of his chest. “What happened?”
“Mario sent two of his men to snatch me up the morning I was coming to see you. Spencer stopped them. He killed one of them,” China explained, catching her breath. “The other one got away.”
“Fuck! I’m sorry, China,” Smooth apologized.
“Don’t be. I’ll be okay.”
“I’m putting Spencer around you like glue.”
“No, Smooth. I can handle myself,” China said.
“You have no right to say no. I want you safe,” Smooth ordered angrily between locked jaws.
He was highly upset that he couldn’t be out there to protect his woman. He felt he was leaving her as prey to his enemies.
“I have the gift from Jefe. I will make sure things get handled. You just keep your word when you come home,” China said as she looked at her watch. “I’ma let Spencer come back. I love you, and fucking call me!”
“I love you too, baby,” Smooth said as he blew her a kiss.
China blew a kiss back and then strutted off to go get Spencer.
When Smooth saw Spencer, he put his fist to the glass. Spencer placed his fist to the glass as well to show love.
“Thanks, man. You saved her from my problems,” Smooth said.
“Don’t worry, pal. You know we’re on our A game,” Spencer said as he then went on to inform Smooth about how Sue Rabbit and Guru were holding him down.
Smooth was shocked to hear that Spencer knew Sue Rabbit and Guru. He didn’t want it like that, but he had little control over how things were happening now while he sat in jail. Smooth also told Spencer about Ham, to whom he wanted Spencer to pay a visit.
“I got you, bro,” Spencer promised.
“Man, also I want you to stick by China’s side until these muthafuckas are dealt with,” Smooth ordered Spencer.
“I got you, Smooth, but I do have a question,” Spencer said as he looked Smooth in his eyes. “China wants to be in on this cat. What’s your say so?”
Smooth began chuckling, and Spencer laughed with him.
“Let her in. What she says goes!” Smooth said, much to Spencer’s surprise.
“Are you sure she’s . . .”
“Let her in. Don’t underestimate China. She becomes very vicious when you do,” Smooth warned Spencer. “Before you leave, call 772-634-3208 and ask for Meka. Then tell her to mail you all the information. Remember to bring China when you go. Keep her by your side like glue, Spencer.”
“I will, bro. I got you ten toes down,” Spencer added.

Amanda waited patiently for her doctor to come back into the room and go over her checkup results. She was on her iPhone playing PacMan, when an incoming call from Smooth chimed in and interrupted her game.
“Shit!” Amanda exclaimed as she hit the ignore button, refusing another one of Smooth’s calls.
She felt that when she sat down face-to-face with him, they would have a more genuine talk about China and him.
He had no choice or say about their new relationship status. She was tired and refused to set herself up to get hurt. Smooth had to make up his mind, and she would help him do so, even if she had to enforce it by cutting him off.
“Good morning, Ms. Lewis,” Dr. Lewis said as she walked into the room.
When Amanda looked up and saw the odd look on her doctor’s face, she knew something was wrong.
“Good morning. Is something wrong?”
“Ms. Lewis, your tests came back. I’m sorry to tell you this, but you tested positive for HIV.”
“What do you mean? You’re kidding me, right?” Amanda chuckled briefly.
“No ma’am. I take my job and patients seriously.”
“Oh my gosh! No! Please don’t tell me this is true!” Amanda broke down and cried into Dr. Rosa’s arms.
Smooth! Oh my gosh! she thought, realizing that the only man she had been having sex with and loving had given her something that she couldn’t cure.
“Life isn’t fair. I don’t deserve this!” Amanda continued to sob.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lewis. We will immediately treat you. But if you know who could have given you this, then you need to tell him to get tested,” Dr. Rosa explained.
Smooth! I can’t believe you did this to me! Amanda thought, deeply hurt by the troublesome news.
Amanda now wondered if Smooth even knew he was HIV positive.
And if he does, why did he choose me? I’ve been nothing but good to him! Amanda reflected.
After leaving the doctor’s office, Amanda went home and cried herself into a great depressive state. She had cut herself off from the world only to focus on Smooth, who always had her heart skipping beats when they were around each other. Now she had no one to tur
n to for comfort. And the only one she did have to turn to was incarcerated. She knew that he had given her HIV, beyond any doubt, because he was the only man she had been sexually involved with in the past couple years.
Why, Smooth? she thought as she lay in bed.
She had changed her mind about going to see Smooth. To keep herself sane, she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. She was done!

WHEN CHINA MADE it back to Miami and ditched Spencer, she drove over to GaGa’s house, where she met Sue Rabbit and Roxy. Sue and Roxy were happy to see China when she pulled up and stepped out of Smooth’s stash car.
“Shouldn’t you be somewhere resting instead of out and about?” Roxy said as they walked inside, leaving Sue Rabbit in his car.
“I’m okay. If I needed rest, then I would have been asleep in bed.”
Roxy and China both found GaGa in the kitchen preparing dinner. She was sitting at her kitchen table cutting collard greens.
“Hi, Mom!” China said as she hugged her.
“Woman, you will run a sista’s blood pressure to the roof!” GaGa said.
“Please don’t stress. Your daughter is fine, Mom!”
“Tell Sue Rabbit that he can come in. It’s rude to keep your man outside,” GaGa said.
“He’s alright.”
“I’ll tell him,” China said as she stormed out of the kitchen and back outside to call for Sue Rabbit.
She found him on his iPhone, sitting in the driver’s seat. China startled him when she rapped on the window.
“Damn! You sneaking up and almost got it, China,” Sue Rabbit said as he let down the window and showed China his Glock .50.
“Whatever! First things first! I have one hundred kilos for you and Guru. Every time you guys need re-up, bring the money, and I’ll go handle business. I’m doing this out of respect for you and Guru, in response to these Mexicans. Other than that, I wouldn’t be doing it!” China explained.
