Maelstrom Baller

Chapter 23

Queens, NY

Lucious walked up to the door and knocked,

He knew Mike was in the streets but the way FoFo reacted to him was leading him to think on just how deep in the streets he was,

Estelle opened the door and she and Lucious looked surprised at one another, "Dewight?"

"Momma Estelle." Lucious smiled before they hugged

Moments Later

Lucious sat on Estelle's couch as she brought him a cup of tea, "How long have you been in New York?" Lucious asked

"Going on 20 years." Estelle said nodding, "When your daddy died, your mother and you just left and I couldn't find you."

Lucious nodded before he looked around and noticed pictures of Mike, of his own father and Estelle who was pregnant and pictures of Tasha

"You were pregnant?" Lucious asked looking at her

'Your father and I wanted to surprise you. He was going to get custody and we were going to be a family. Didn't turn out that way though. Mike and Reina are all I have left of her."

"I uh, signed Mike to Empire, you know maybe I can help steer him out of the streets." Lucious said as if Mike was his nephew then it meant he had to get closer to him and maybe even offer him Empire if his sons couldn't step to the plate

Lucious put the cup down and grabbed Estelle's hands, "I'll take care of them." He promised causing her to smile and nod before they continued to talk

Meanwhile, Brooklyn, Gold Room

While Lucious and Estelle were catching up and deciding to try and keep Mike out of trouble Mike was performing at a club in Brooklyn his opps territory

Mike was rocking the show and as he finished Crazy Story he was tapped and looked to his homie who pointed at the next level

Smiling at seeing some Nine Treys in the building with some weird mexican kid of all things, Mike looked to Justice and said something to him

Turning around Mike looked dead at Shotti, "If you got Opps put yo middle fingers up!" He said putting his up and still smiling, "Aye Play that shit, cuz."

Mike middle finger turned into him throwing up gang signs before he began to rap

As the first word left his lips, Mike's killer intent flooded the club. Mainly focused on the Bloodz while the fans hung onto every word as a chill crawled up their spine

Its beef just cock it and dump it

The drama really means nothing to me

I'll walk by and blow ya brains out

There's no time to cock it, no way you can stop it

When niggas run up on you with them thangs out

I do what I gotta do, I don't care I if get caught

The DA can play this motherfucking tape in court

I'll kill you

I ain't playing, hear what I'm saying, homie, I ain't playing

Catch you slipping I'ma kill you

I ain't playing, hear what I'm saying, homie I ain't playing

Keep thinking I'm candy 'til ya fucking skull get popped

And ya brain hop out the top like Jack-in-the-box

In the hood summer time is the killing season

It's hot out this bitch, that's a good enough reason
