”No problem” Angela replied as she removed the clip from her .380 and replaced it with a fresh one.
”Thanks for holding me down back there” Wayne said glancing over at Angela. “Shit you really are The Teflon Queen” he chuckled meaning every word.
”It’s the least I could do” Angela replied with a smile even though she was talking to Wayne, her mind was still on James. Angela was always so focused on her jobs that she really didn’t have time for men nor did she have time to have a man in her life. The conversation she had with James was a well needed one, Angela couldn’t remember the last time she just had a regular conversation with a man about something other than business.
”What you over there thinking about?” Wayne asked noticing that Angela was staring out into space.
”Just a little tired” she lied and placed a fake smile on her face. Wayne pulled up in his driveway and let the engine die. “You can spend the night here if you like. I have plenty of room if you don’t feel like driving anywhere at this time of night” Wayne offered.
”No that’s okay” Angela said politely. “I have to get prepared. I got a big day ahead of me tomorrow” she said as she shook Wayne’s hand, and quickly slid in her Lambo and peeled off.
CHAPTER 8
Now that Capo was all on his own and calling his own shots, his bank account doubled in less then a month’s time. The only problem he was having was all of these new fake wanna be hustlers calling themselves trying to compete with him and his organization. Capo cruised around in his Benz with two chains around his neck and no shirt on his back. He cruised around local hoods with Moose in the passenger seat hoping they saw any of the competition out on the streets.
“I wish I would catch a nigga out on one of our corners” Moose said exhaling weed smoke through his nose.
”I been hearing niggaz been out here trying to steal our clientel” Capo said taking the blunt from Moose.
”Yeah me and Bone ran down on a few of them clowns so we shouldn’t be seeing too many of them clowns out here no more” Moose said confidently. The problem was that when Bone put in work he usually went overboard and that was bringing down more and more heat on Capo’s operation.
”Our major problem is all this heat that’s been coming down on us.” Capo said peeking through his rearview mirror making sure they weren’t being followed. Something he always did when he was behind the wheel. “We have to come up with a way to do this shit a little more quietly” Capo said finally realizing what Wayne had been trying to tell him all along.
”So what do you suggest we do?” Moose asked.
”Let’s just get this money and enjoy it” Capo replied. “I don’t want nobody’s head getting busted unless it just has to be done.” Just as those words left Capo’s mouth he cruised down the street he saw two young hustlers standing on a corner hustling. From the look of the two kids they couldn’t have been any older then sixteen, maybe seventeen.
“Look at these two chumps” Capo said out loud as he slowed the Benz down stopping right in front of the two teenagers. He rolled down his window and immediately one of the kids walked up to his window.
“I got what you need just tell me how you want it” the kid said with a hustlers tongue.
”Nigga, does it look like I use drugs?” Capo said with a smirk on his face. “Who ya’ll out here working for?”
”Crazy Moe” the young hustler replied.
“How old are you?” Capo asked.
“How old are you?” The young hustler shot back. Capo just smiled as he pulled out his .45 and shot the young hustler in his leg. The other young man tried to take off running but a bullet to the back of his thigh quickly stopped that thought as he hit the ground. “Yall lil niggaz better stay the fuck off my corners!” Capo yelled as he pulled off. “Lil niggaz got a lot of balls” he shook his head as he hopped on the FDR drive highway. “How everything else been moving?”
“Good” Moose replied. “Niggaz really been feeling this new work we got from Scarface. I don’t know where he getting his shit from but all I know is, his shit is straight uncut.”
“As much money as we paying for that shit it better be uncut” Capo said, as he pulled up to one of his stash houses. Now that Capo was on his own and making so much money he knew soon he was going to have to beef up his security being as though he couldn’t be in twenty different places at one time.
Capo and Moose reached the door and did the special knock. Seconds later Kim answered the door. “What’s up y’all?” She asked stepping to the side so the two could enter. Kim quickly went back behind the table where she sat counting and placing rubberbands over each stack of money she counted.
“How shit been looking?” Capo asked looking around.
“Everything’s been good” Kim answered not bothering to look up from what she was doing. “This new shit got these motherfuckers going crazy” she added.
“That’s what I like to hear” Capo said reading a text message that just came through his phone. “How much longer you got to go?” He asked looking over at Kim who was just placing the last rubberband on a neat stack of money. “All done, why what’s up?” Kim asked as she stood up and stretched. She knew whatever Capo had to tell her it had something to do with some money. She knew that look anywhere.
“I just got the drop on a stash house” Capo announced sliding his phone back in it’s case that hung on his waist.
“Let’s go get that money” Moose said as the trio exited the stash crib.
Once everyone was in the car Capo quickly pulled away from the curb.
“What’s up with this Crazy Moe nigga I keep hearing about?” Kim asked from the back seat.
“What you been hearing?” Capo asked keeping his eyes on the road.
“I heard he some new nigga that just came out of nowhere and started opening shop” Kim replied.
“What this nigga look like?” Capo asked eyeing her through the rearview mirror.
“Nah, just heard he been on this real takeover shit” Kim said. “And I heard he rolling with a team of killers. I mean I hear these niggaz putting it in in broad daylight and all that.”
Capo chuckled as he glanced over at Moose. The look on his face said that he wasn’t impressed and neither was Capo. “We gon bump into each other soon” Capo said making the Benz come to a stop. He planned on making an example out of the man the streets called Crazy Moe. Capo was the only name the streets needed to be talking about and he planned to make sure the streets knew exactly who the Capo was.
“If we ain’t out in ten you know what to do” Capo said to Kim as he and Moose headed towards the nice looking house.
“Ya’ll niggaz hurry up” Kim said as she pulled her 9mm from out of her purse and hopped out the back seat and got behind the wheel.
Inside the house Capo and Moose trashed the place until Moose found a duffle bag hiding in the stove. “Jackpot” He yelled as he smiled when he felt how heavy the duffle bag was.
“What’s in that bitch?” Capo asked sticking his gun back in his waistband. Moose opened up the bag and found that it was filled with money and guns. “Guess they won’t need this anymore” Moose said as he and Capo walked right back out the front door like they owned the place. Once they were inside the car Kim quickly pulled off.

Angela strolled down the street looking for the perfect vehicle for her next mission. A blonde wig and dark shades hide her identity. She walked up on a 1999 Ford Explorer and a smirk danced on her lips. Angela quickly elbowed the glass, shattering it into pieces as she stuck her arm inside and let herself in. Once inside Angela jammed a pocket knife in the ignition and made the truck come to life, as she pulled off to go handle her business. Angela drove in complete silence as she thought about the best way to take out her target. As she continued to drive she began to think about James. “I wonder what he’s doing right now.” She thought out loud as she pulled his card from out of her pocket and dialed his number. On the fifth ri
ng he finally answered.
“Hello?”
”Can I speak to James please?” Angela asked politely, in her school girl voice.
”Who is this?” James asked not recognizing the out of town number.
”Angie” Angela replied. “Damn how many women you got calling you?”
”Stop it” James laughed. “It’s about time you called. I thought you had forgotten about me for a second.”
”Had to let you sweat it out for minute” Angela chuckled. She loved how smooth and calm James voice sounded over the phone. “Is this supposed to be your sexy voice?”
”There you go” James laughed. “What you getting into tonight?”
”Nothing much” Angela replied. “Just have to take care of some business real quick I should be done in about thirty minutes. What you got planned for the night?”
”Getting dressed about to go to the club” James told her.
”Oh so I see you are a real party animal” Angela said half jokingly as she pulled up three blocks away from Sammy’s house.
”Work related” James replied. “I should be done around 3am if that’s not too late I would like to see you.”
”What we going to do at three o’clock in the morning?” Angela asked as she climbed into the back seat and removed her Barrett M107 .50 caliber sniper rifle.
”Maybe I can cook for you” James suggested. “What you like to eat?”
”Surprise me” Angela said loading a round into the chamber.
”So it’s a date?”
”Yeah text me your address and I’ll be there around 3:30” Angela said ending the call. Once she hung up the phone she focused on Sammy’s house. As Angela waited for Sammy to show his face she thought about going to see James later on that night. She hadn’t been with a man in so long due to how she made her money Angela felt butterflies in her stomach. Angela laughed as she felt herself feeling like she was in high school again. After sitting in the back seat for four and a half hours Sammy finally stepped out his house surrounded by plenty of security. “About time” Angela whispered as she aimed her rifle at Sammy. Once Sammy’s head was in the middle of the crosshair Angela pulled the trigger shooting through the back window of the Explorer. Sammy and his crew headed towards the vehicle that waited curb side until Sammy’s body just dropped out of the blue. Immediately Sammy’s security drew their weapons and scrambled to find out where the shot came from. Once Angela saw Sammy’s body dropped, she broke down her rifle and hopped back behind the wheel and peeled off undetected.

Capo took a swig from his bottle of Rozay as he sat back in the booth at his own lounge. He watched as everyone in the lounge enjoyed themselves and partied like it wasn’t no tomorrow.
”You a’ight?” Bone asked as he took a seat next to Capo. He knew something was wrong with him because the place was full of beautiful women and Capo was just sitting over in the corner all by himself.
”Nothing I’m just chilling” Capo said forcing a smile on his face.
”What’s on your mind fam?” Bone pressed. Before Capo could even respond two white detectives entered his booth and help themselves to a seat.
”What’s up Capo?” The taller detective said, calling Capo by his street name just to mess with him.
”Fuck ya’ll want?” Capo asked in an uninterested tone. “Ya’ll ain’t got nothing else better to do?”
”Your name was brought up in a shooting that went down earlier today.” The shorter detective said speaking for the first time. “Care to tell us about that?”
”Am I under arrest or what?” Capo asked as if the detectives were becoming an annoyance. “That’s what I thought” he said as he and Bone got up, and posted up over by the bar. “I’m tired of these motherfuckers!” Capo huffed. Ever since he and Wayne had went their separate ways Capo noticed that more and more heat had been coming down on him and his crew. “If its not one thing it’s another” Capo said taking another swig from his bottle of Rosay.
A loud commotion at the front entrance caused Capo and Bone to turn their attention to the front door. A man wearing about four chains around his neck, an iced out bracelet and watch, argued at the door with one of the bouncers. After the two went back and forth the man and his entourage were finally allowed entrance. The mystery man demanded the entire lounge’s attention as he bopped towards the bar.
”Who is this clown?” Capo asked unimpressed.
”Some nigga named Crazy Moe” Bone answered.
”Oh that’s Crazy Moe?” Capo said as he walked over towards the man and his entourage, but was immediately stopped by one of Crazy Moe’s goon.
“Can I help you?” The goon asked, with his face crumbled up looking Capo up and down.
“I need to have a word with Moe” Capo said as he took a sip from his bottle.
“Nah” The goon said shaking his head. “Crazy Moe came here to party not talk to no clowns.”
Capo sighed loudly as he stole on the goon dropping him with one punch. Once the bouncers in the club saw Capo swing on the man they quickly ran up to the scene to make sure no harm was done to their boss. The rest of Crazy Moe’s goons stood face to face with Capo, Bone and the bouncers.
“What’s the problem?” Crazy Moe asked stepping to the front line with a champagne glass in his hand.
“I need to talk to you over here for a second” Capo said as he and Crazy Moe stepped over to the side. “What up?” Crazy Moe asked sipping from his glass.
“Listen fam” Capo began. “I don’t know who you are and honestly I don’t care, I’m only going to tell you this once” he said looking Crazy Moe in his eyes. “Stay the fuck off my corners! Next nigga I see on any of my corners who claim to work for you I’m coming to see you
personally!”
Crazy Moe smiled and took another sip from his drink before he replied. “I don’t know if you heard or not, but I work for Wayne now and I have full permission to post up on any block I choose, understand?” Crazy Moe smiled. “I took your old spot so that makes me the new boss of the streets now.”
“Is that right?” Capo asked as he clutched his Rosay bottle even tighter in his hand. He so badly wanted to bust the bottle over Crazy Moe’s head, but he knew that would start an all out war out on the streets between him and Wayne and right now wasn’t a good time for Capo to be in the middle of a street war. “Me and Wayne have a personal agreement to stay the fuck out of each other’s way so I’m telling you straight up I don’t like you” Capo paused. “So please stay the fuck out my way!”
“You got it chump...I mean champ” Crazy Moe said with a smirk as he broke out in a two step as the lounge got hype when Soulja Boy’s song “Pretty Boy Swag” came blasting through the speakers. Capo so badly wanted to set off in the lounge, but since Crazy Moe now worked for Wayne it wasn’t much Capo could do, but just hope Crazy Moe didn’t cross the line. Just as Capo was about to head back over to his booth a caramel complexion girl grabbed his hand. “You not going nowhere until you dance with me” the woman told Capo rather then ask him. She threw her ass up against Capo’s penis as the two grinded together to the beat. Capo grabbed the woman’s waist as she bent all the way touching the floor. After three straight songs Capo was tired.
“Where are you going?” The woman asked. “I know you not tired already?”
“Yeah imma go sit down for a while I’ll be right back” Capo lied. The real reason he didn’t want to dance no more was cause the .45 in his waistband threatened to fall out cause of how wild the woman was dancing. Besides Capo didn’t like to get all sweaty unless he was
having sex. “Fuck this shit I’m going home” Capo said to himself as he exited the lounge. When Capo made it outside, Bone quickly caught up to him. “Where you headed?”
“Going home” Capo answered. Usually Capo was the last one to turn it in for the night but tonight was just one of those nights where all he wanted to do was go home and relax.
