A CHILD OF A CRACKHEAD

by Shameek Speight

  Officer Reed was so absorbed in his thoughts of losing his partner and remembering events up to this day that he about missed his turn into his neighborhood.

  He pulled up in his driveway of his house.

  He lived in an, all Jewish neighborhood and was very proud of it. There wasn’t a black person around for miles the way Brooklyn used to be. He pondered what he was going to tell his wife as he got out of his car and walked up to the door.

  He opened the door to his house. He never noticed the brown Ford Taurus that followed him and was parked across the street from his house. Ray Ray sat in the parked car and pulled out a pen and wrote down the address on a piece of paper. He put the paper in his jeans pocket and grabbed his crack pipe that was in the passenger seat next to him. He broke a piece of crack off the big rock Black Ice gave him and stuffed it in his pipe. He held the fire to the end and inhaled deeply and exhaled.

  Chapter 20

  J-Rock picked up the phone on the third ring. “Yo, who this?” he answered.

  “Yo, what the fuck happened today? I heard that nigga got away.” The voice on the line yelled.

  J-Rock now knew it was Caesar on the phone. “Yo, who the fuck are you barking on? Calm the fuck down, alright?”

  J-Rock said.

  “Alright, I just want to know what went down today.” Caesar replied.

  “Yo, you said that nigga was slipping.

  That fool may be on crack, but he was on point. I had three of my men sitting on a bench waiting for him to come out of the building. We all were going to rush him at once from all sides, but somehow Black Ice knew something was wrong and started shooting my men that was sitting on the bench. That nigga even had two guns on him shooting all crazy. He even used one of my men as a shield.” J-Rock started explaining.

  “Yo, I heard that nigga killed three cops.” Caesar said.

  J-Rock went quiet for a minute

  because he knew that he killed one of the cops, but wasn’t about to tell Caesar that.

  “Yea, yea that nigga was wild.” J-Rock replied.

  “Yo, I hear the cops are looking for him about those dead cops. So, this shit still might work out for us. We just have to lay low until they get him and all the heat dies off.” Caesar said.

  “I’m with that. I’ll hit you up later.”

  J-Rock said hanging up the phone.

  J-Rock lay back on the bed and

  wondered where the fuck was Smoke with that bag of money. He didn’t get caught today and he would have heard something by now. It’s drawing near the day he takes over Brownville Projects and kills Caesar.

  Chapter 21

  Rachel was high pacing back and forth in her bedroom. It has been three days and she hasn’t heard or seen a sign of Black Ice. Rachel walked back to the closet and removed the floor board. There were still two ounces of crack and a lot of money. She pulled the zip lock bags of crack out and covered the stash and sat back on the bed.

  She thought to herself two ounces of this shit isn’t going to last. Where the fuck is Black Ice? She jumped off the bed when she heard a knock at the door. She walked to the door and looked through the peep hole. There stood a detective and four uniform cops with him.

  Rachel slowly opened the door. “Yes, may I help you?”

  Detective Roy looked down at the skinny Rachel with disgust. Damn crack head he thought to himself. “Yes, you can.

  Help us. We’re looking for Michael David Ice, Sr., or Black Ice as you and everybody else refer to him as.”

  “Okay. So, what do want with him?”

  Rachel asked.

  “Listen lady is he her or not?”

  Detective Roy said while trying to peek over her shoulder.

  “No he is not here.” Rachel said.

  “Well, if you’re lying and he’s hiding here, you’ll be arrested too when we get him. We have an eye witness saying he’s behind the death of two officers.”

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about. And Black Ice doesn’t live here.”

  Rachel said and shut the door in Detective Roy’s face.

  “Bitch” Detective Roy said. “Come on let’s go get a warrant and rush this place.

  I know that bitch is lying.” Detective Roy said to his officers as they walked away from the door.

  Rachel’s mind was racing with all kind of thoughts. She knew that they’d be back. What to do? She quickly grabbed one of Black Ice’s duffle bags and went to the stash in the closet and pulled all the money out and dumped it into the bag. Then she looked at the three guns in the stash and decided to take them and put them into the bag too. She went to the dresser and saw a drawer full of different kinds of keys, all shapes and sizes. Rachel knew Black Ice had apartments all over with money and to stash his inventory. She even heard from rumors that he had a house full of money and body parts that he collected off his victims. Rachel didn’t know if it was true or not, but she wouldn’t be surprised if it was true. However, she only knew of two of his apartments he had in someone else’s name.

  She needed to make up her mind where she was going before the cops come back to rush this place.

  Chapter 22

  Black Ice woke up to the smell of rotting flesh. The smell made his head spin.

  He looked around to see that he was still at Ray Ray’s apartment. He looked at his hand and clothes that were covered in blood. He walked into the kitchen following the rotten smell. He looked down on the kitchen floor to see Ray Ray decomposing body with five knives stuck deep into his back. Black Ice looked at his body thinking someone was trying to make his death into art work or they were just having fun at killing him.

  Little fat maggot’s crawled around eating the body. Black Ice stepped over the body and turned on the water in the kitchen sink and washed his hands and face. He remembered Ray Ray coming home with that cop’s address and getting high with him. But, doesn’t remember killing the old mother fucker and that had to have four or five days ago that he remembers. He thought he must have blacked out or something. The only thing he knew he needed to do now was get the hell out of that apartment before the neighbors started to smell his body. He grabbed his things and left the apartment heading for one of his secret apartments to pick up some things.

  Officer Reed was driving home after a long day at work. He couldn’t wait until Detective Roy would get the search warrant tomorrow. He was one of the officer’s that was with Detective Roy that visited Rachel earlier today. He knew he saw that woman before. He watched the darkness cover the night sky as he pulled up in his driveway.

  He was hoping to come home to a nice hot cooked meal. He put his key in the door and opened it and stepped in. SMACK! Officer Reed slumped over as he felt the pain for the back of his head. SMACK! SMACK!

  Officer Reed hit the floor and tried to keep his eyes opened, but it his world went dark as he passed out from the blow to his head one final time. The sounds of crying could be heard by Officer Reed. He shook his head and opened his eyes. The house was dark and he clearly couldn’t see what he was looking at. He tried to get up, but realized he was hog tied with duct tape. He heard the cries of a woman and looked across the living room floor. He could see a white ass up in the air and a man humping and pounding in and out of her. He heard the man say to the woman, “You like that don’t you? Don’t you?”

  “Yes.” The voice of the woman

  moaned.

  “You have never felt a dick this big.

  Have you?” the man said.

  “No.” the lady let out a moan. The man pounded harder and harder and pulled out and busted his nut over her pussy. “I want more.” She moaned.

  “I’m sorry, my dear, but that’s all you’re getting. Now get the fuck up.”

  Officer Reed couldn’t see them

  clearly, but the woman’s voice he knew.

  The living room lights came on and Officer Reed couldn’t believe his eyes. There was his wife sitting naked on a chair. Then he looked over to the man and it wa
s the same man that killed his partner and the other cops a week ago.

  “Oh I see your eyes are opened, Mr.

  Reed.” Black Ice said while putting his clothes back on. He then turned to Mrs.

  Reed and duck taped her to a chair.

  “What the fuck is going on?” Officer Reed yelled in anger knowing his wife just enjoyed being fucked by Black Ice.

  Barbara, Officer Reed’s wife, just sat there quiet with a shameful look on her face.

  “First of all, I want you to stop fucking yelling. I’ll go upstairs and get the newborn son of yours. What is he eight months?” Black Ice said.

  “No! Please don’t hurt him.” Barbara cried.

  “Just shut the fuck up!” Black ice demanded. Barbara got quiet. “I see Officer Reed. You don’t be fucking your wife right or you have a little dick.” Black Ice laughed.

  “She loved every minute of me fucking her.”

  Officer Reed was burning up with anger, but didn’t want to say anything out of fear of what this crazy man may hurt his son. Black Ice saw Officer Reed’s face turn red and knew he was getting to him. So, he decided to rub it in some more.

  “I’ve been fucking your wife for almost eight hours now waiting for you.

  When you came home, I hit you with my gun and was going to get straight to business that I came here for, but she kept begging and begging for more of this black dick.”

  Black Ice said while grabbing his crotch.

  Officer Reed looked up in his wife’s face and could see what Black Ice said was all true. Barbara held her head down afraid to make eye contact with her husband.

  Deep down inside she enjoyed every inch of that black dick she got today. But, she’ll never say it. Her story will be that he raped her. Then she thought that he would fuck her one more time before he left as her pussy got wet just by the thought.

  “So, you’re going to point me out in a line up? Are you?” Black Ice laughed.

  Officer Reed remembered that laugh the day his partner was killed by this man. It kept echoing in his head ever since. Black Ice picked up the duct tape from the floor and taped Barbara’s mouth. Her eyes grew wide open when she saw Black Ice pull out a six inch knife and come towards her. “I need something to remember you by my dear.”

  Black Ice took hold of one of her breasts and licked the pink nipple until it was nice and hard. Barbara let out a soft moan of pleasure for the feeling of his tongue on her nipple. Then a sharp pain replaced the sweet pleasure she was feeling. She tried to move, but was duck taped to the chair. All she could do was squirm in place. She let out a scream, but it was muffled by the duct tape over her mouth. Black Ice sliced away at her nipple and pulled as hard as he could until he had her nipple in his hand. He put his tongue across the piece of flesh and the blood smeared all over his lips.

  Barbara screamed and groaned as she rocked back and forth in the chair in extreme pain. Her blood dripped down her naked body from her missing nipple. Office Reed’s eyes grew wide as he watched Black Ice remove his wife’s nipple from her body.

  He tried to wiggle free from the duct tape, but it was tied up to tight.

  Black Ice grabbed Barbara’s ear. She tried to move her head, but it was locked in his grip. Her tears rand down her face from fear and in pain. Black Ice smiled and with one slice removed her ear from her head.

  She yelled as the blood poured out from the detachment on the side of her head. She felt as if she was going to pass out from the loss of blood and the pain.

  Then crying was heard from the little baby upstairs. “It looks like someone woke the baby. He’ll just have to join the party.”

  Black Ice said.

  “NO!” Officer Reed yelled as Black Ice made his way upstairs. A few minutes later, he returned with the baby curled up in his arm. “You have yourself a cute baby, Officer Reed.” Black Ice made his way over to Barbara who was crying and trying to stay awake and not pass out. Black Ice looked into both Barbara and Officer Reed’s eyes.

  He saw both pleading in their eyes both begging him not to hurt their baby. Black Ice pulled out a Beretta 9mm with a silencer on it. He put the gun to the baby’s head.

  “NO! NO!” both screamed. An

  orange flash came out of the gun as a bullet tore through the baby’s chest. Black Ice released the newborn baby and both Barbara and Officer Reed watched as the baby hit the floor. Officer Reed wiggled around on the floor full of rage. “Don’t worry little pig.

  I’ll make my way to you.” Black Ice raised his gun to Barbara’s forehead. She was crying looking at her baby on the floor. She never looked up at the gun. The bullet shredded through her skull and sent pieces of her brain flying everywhere.

  Black Ice walked over to Officer Reed and bent down next to him. “You should have kept your mouth closed, pig. It’s a shame I had to kill your wife. She had some good pussy and she could suck some dick.”

  Black Ice laughed.

  Officer Reed didn’t hear a word Black Ice said. His mind and heart were lost in pain over the loss of his son and wife. Black Ice stood back up and aimed his gun at Officer Reed and let off five shots and two quick ones in rapid succession. He watched the bullets tear through his body and him jerk around until he died. Black Ice grabbed Officer Reed’s work bag and grabbed a few things in the house he needed. He picked up the chunks of flesh and put it in the bag and left the house with an evil grin on his face.

  He laughed and hopped into his Ford Taurus and pulled off.

  Chapter 23

  “Yo, what the fuck are going to do?

  It’s been three weeks now and the cops still haven’t caught Black Ice. Caesar do you think he knows that we had something to do with that?” Ace asked nervously.

  “Naw, he doesn’t know. If he did we’d be dead already.” Caesar replied.

  “You heard the cops rushed his

  apartment and they still couldn’t find him, even his son and that bitch are nowhere to be found. What are we going to do?” Ace continued while leaning back on the passenger seat of Caesar’s car. He was more than nervous. He was scared shitless. He knows how Black Ice gets down and he damn sure didn’t want to be one of his victims with a body part missing. Shit if it wasn’t for Caesar and Lisa talking him into this shit, he wouldn’t even have been down for it. Lisa always wants more and more money. Ace thought to himself.

  “Listen Ace, J-Rock is on the low now. And we can’t get him to go try to kill Black Ice again, even if he did find him.

  Black Ice will be on point, but I got a plan.”

  Caesar said.

  “What?” Ace replied.

  “Black Ice hasn’t been around to pick up this money from the spot in three weeks.

  This is what we do. We keep running the spots and collect all the money. He will pop up one day to get his money. You know Black Ice can’t stay away from his money.

  Shit that nigga would kill us if he thought we didn’t have his money, even if he is in hiding. So, when he comes for the money we will be waiting for him.” Caesar said.

  “What the fuck you mean? We will be waiting for him?” Ace asked.

  “I mean we have to hill him

  ourselves.” Caesar said.

  “What?” Ace yelled. “Getting

  someone to kill his was one thing, but now you want us to hill him?”

  Caesar got into Ace’s face. “This shit is not a game nigga. If you want to make this fucking money to buy Lisa a house or anything else, we have to put in work. I want that spot for myself, and nothing is going to stop me. Are you in or what?”

  Caesar said while slowly reaching for his gun on his waist.

  “Yea, man I’m in, but how did you know I want to buy Lisa a house. I don’t remember telling you.”

  “Oh, you must have said something to me. How else would I have known?”

  “Yea, yea right” Ace replied, but knew he never said anything to Caesar about him wanting to buy a house. How the fuck he knows that, I only told Lisa he thought.


  As he got out of Caesar’s car and headed towards his own car, “Remember be ready.”

  Caesar hollered.

  Chapter 24

  Rachel’s bottom lip trembled for the craving she was feeling. She already smoked the two ounces she had left the apartment with, but found one of Black Ices’

  stash spots in one of the apartments she went to. She smoked the entire crack in the stash spot, but there was money on top of money in that spot. She would take the money out of the stash for her house. She was going to buy crack off the street. Rachel sat on the bed and cried. She couldn’t fight it and she wanted to. She cried out loud. She started thinking of her baby, Michael. She couldn’t remember the last time she saw him. She missed him very much. Tears started flowing down her face. She held her hands to her face and cried. She had to figure out something. She had to.

  She then thought that she needed to leave this apartment before Black Ice found her here. She had to get her baby back. She went through her bag and found a piece of paper with a number written on it. She picked up the house phone and dialed the number. “Hello.” The voice said on the other end of the phone.

  “Janet?” Rachel asked.

  “Yes. Who is this?” Janet asked back.

  “It’s Rachel.”

  “Oh my God, Rachel I miss you.

  What took you so long to call?” Janet said.

  “Janet, I……I need your help.”

  Janet could hear Rachel starting to cry. And knew it was serious. “What do you need? I’ll do anything for you cousin.”

  “I need a place to stay and your help.”

  Rachel started to say.

  “Say no more. Where do you want me to come and pick you up?” Janet asked.

  “Meet me at Momma’s place.” Rachel said and hung up the phone and grabbed the bag with money and headed out the door.

  Michael cried for two weeks straight and every now and again when he went to bed. He thought of his mother. He’d use a dirty pillow that he laid on to wipe away the tears. She promised that she would come back to get me. It had been five weeks and his mother still hasn’t come back to get him.
