Liyah's Reefer High

Chapter 4

It's Saturday. My first week of school is over and it went smoothly thanks to the crew.
Today Reefer is taking me around the city to show me all of the trap houses in the area and to help me learn my way around my new city.

He is suppose to be here around 11 and its 10:30 right now and I'm headed to the shower.
I hop in and hop out. I'm not one for screwing around. I get to business no matter what I am doing. Whether it be school, the game, or something as simple as a shower.

I know it sounds weird and paranoid so to say, but I always have my game face on, so that way I never run into surprises.

I hate surprises.

I got dressed in a simple black tub top and fashion nova jeans. I put on my Concords and headed for down stairs.

No one was down there. Thank god. Conversations with people in this house are weird and time wasting. Liz is Kate's mom. She's cool but I know I'm here for the checks the government gives out to foster parents. Which is fine with me, as long as we are all on the same page about why I'm here I'm straight. She doesn't meddle and she doesn't have any rules. Shit, I can count on one hand how many times we've spoken since I've moved in.

I make a bowl of fruit loops and ate it. As I was putting my bowl in the dish washer, I got a text from Reefer saying he was outside.

I grabbed my bag and phone and headed outside.

Like I have said previously, I am a very nonchalant person, meaning I don't let things phase me. So when I saw Reefer sitting on the hood of a 2019 Rolls Royce, i simply nodded and at him and continued my stride toward the car.

Although it was quite the sight to see.

"Wassup baby girl" He greeted me with a hug.

"Hey" I smirked as I hugged him back.

"So like I told you earlier we are going to be checking up on the traps today." He said as we got into the car.

"Mainly so I can see how things are operating and make sure everything is running smoothly and also so you can see where the spots are at and get a feel of the city."

"Ight Ight sounds cool." I nodded as I listened to him explain what was about to go down for the day.

" But before allat I got a lil test for ya though" He said as he looked over at me.

" A test like what?"

"Well every thing I know about you is from my boy Spark. I trust him and all but ion really know you. Ya feel me?"

"Understandable. You don't know me from Adam. I could be 5-O for all you know."

"Exactly, so before I start showing you all of my stuff I got to get a feel of you." I smirked when he said that and looked over at him raising my eyebrows.

He scrunched his eyebrows confused on what I was getting at.

Then it clicked. "Ohhh not like that." He said laughing.

"Unless thats how you want it" He said smirking as he looked away from the road to look at me.

I rolled my eyes and looked out the window laughing.

About 15 minutes later we pulled up to this abandon looking ware house.

"This is where your test will be taking place, its simple. All you have to do is go in through the back window that leads to an office and steal the $15,000 in the safe. I have the passcode for you already. The safe is in the office of the bottom level window on the left side of the house."

I nodded observing the place. Looking at the number of cars that were in the drive way. Three. And counting the number of windows that had lights on in them in the front of the warehouse. Two. I looked over at Reefer and asked, "Bet, so who am I robbing?" "A gang called The Vipers. They're our rivals around here, but not for much longer. We're getting real close to blowing their whole operation up and being the on ones seriously running the city. Anyone that wants to do drug business here will have to go through us. This snatch and grab is just us sending a lil message. Nothing major." He said handing me an empty book bag and a little paper with 5294 on it. I remembered the number and then handed the paper back to him.

I nodded understanding while taking the book bag. "I'll be back in five minutes tops." I said with a smirk, and then exited the car with out giving Reefer time to respond. We were parked about a block away so, I jogged behind the house that was next to Reefer's car and then continued to jog until I reached the back of the ware house. I saw a window on the left side of the house and looked through it to see an office, and a safe right next to a bookshelf on the right side of the room.

I smirked to myself. They've made it to easy.
I pulled out a mini Swiss Army knife I keep in back of my phone case at all times. You never know when situations like this will occur.

I flipped the hack saw tool out of the Swiss Army knife and started to work the blade into the window by the latch. I kept wiggling it around trying to quietly break the latch.

*Pop* Bingo! I popped the latch. I slowly pushed the window up and then slid into the office. I examined the room. I saw two of those invisible security laser beam shooters. That produce invisible laser beams. I made sure to navigate the room as to not trigger the alarms. Once I reached the safe I began to type in the password that Reefer gave me. 5...2...9...4. *Click* the safe door swung open exposing the $15,000 in cold hard cash it harbored inside. Damn, I haven't seen this much money since I've been in LA. I quickly stuffed the money in the book bag and zipped it up. Just then I heard some foot steps approaching.

FUCK! I quickly shut the safe and run over to the bookshelf. I pushed the book shelf away from the wall and step behind it, pulling it as closely to me as I can as I press my back against the wall. The bookshelf is in the corner of the room, while the safe is next to it in the middle of the room against the wall. There's a desk in the middle of the room with a chair. No one should see me back here as long as they don't walk over to the far wall in the of the office. Which, why would they? There's was nothing back here other than the book shelf anyway.

I stayed quiet as I heard the foot steps come to an end and the door squeak open.
