Jayda pov
"Taylen I know you're mad at me but can you just talk to me?" I asked
"Jayda you got me in a serious situation, O-dog want me to try and set up the hardest gangster in Savannah" he spoke
"Well who is the hardest gangster in Savannah?" I asked
"Are you serious? Ant! The nigga a psycho, the nigga killed his own dad for taking 100 dollars from him, the dude is a millionaire" he spoke
I never heard of this Ant guy, but to kill your own dad just over 100 dollars when you're a millionaire is just crazy
"Imagine what he'll do to me if he find out I'm trying to set him up, someone that is nothing to him, someone he don't even know" he spoke
I stood silence
He sighed loudly and walked away
"I gotta go to school" he spoke walking out the house slamming the door
Well atlease he's going to school now
I mess everything up, I can't mess up my brothers life, I need to fix this
I grabbed my phone and made my way outside
I started making my way to the trap since I know where it's at now
Once I got there I banged on the door but it took a lil minute for someone to come to the door
Once the lightskin dude I seen last time opened the door he looked at me confused
"You Tate sister right?" He asked
I nodded
"Whatchu doing here again?" He asked looking confused
"Is O-dog here right now?" I asked
He nodded
"O-dog know I'm here, so are you going to let me in?" I asked
He stared for a few seconds then sighed loudly stepping aside
I walked in and made my way to his office since I knew where it was
I tried to open the door but it was locked, so I knocked on it
Once the door open and he saw me he had an attitude
"I see they letting everybody in this motherfucker" he mumbled
"Please let me talk" I spoke softly
"You here now, might as well come in" he said going to sit in his chair
I closed the door and sat in the sit across from him
"What do you want?" He asked
"I want to help set up Ant" I answered
He scrunched up his face
"What are you talmbout?" He asked
"The job you got my brother doing, setting up Ant, I wanna do it instead of him" I spoke
"Fuck outta here" he spoke
"I'm serious, I'm the right person for this job, and I'll do it for free" I spoke
"You don't even know nothing about this shit we do, you don't know what to do" he spoke
"Then tell me, think about it. I'm better for this job, I'm a female, of course he ain't gone think of me trying to do whatever y'all trying to do to him, and plus him or his people probably seen my brother with you or some of your people, I be at work then home, he probably never even seen me. Please O-dog, I'm the one who threatened to tell the police not my brother, let me make up for it by putting me into this risky position" I spoke
He looked like he was thinking about it for a few seconds
"Ight, but if you gone do this, everything gotta be planned out right, meaning you gonna have to be here a lot so we can plan this thing out right, this nigga got hella security and plus the nigga is smart, so you gotta be careful" he responded
"Ight I promise you won't be disappointed" I spoke before getting up getting ready to walk out
"I know you're trying to protect your brother" he spoke causing me to turn around and face him
"I can respect that, I wish I had someone to look out for me when I was younger, but I had to always look out for myself" he spoke
I know what it feels like to have nobody looking out for you, I had to look out for myself since 7 years old, but and again I had my brother, me and him was looking out for each other for as long as I can remember, we still are, even though we're out our foster house
"But when your brother is with me he is safe, I mean yeah we are doing some dangerous shit, but I wouldn't hurt him or let anybody hurt him"
"Why because he works for you?" I asked looking confused
He shook his head "nah baby, it's because I see myself in him, I was just like him when I was younger, hardheaded, a hothead, turning everything into violence, man nobody couldn't tell me shit" he said with a chuckle at the end
"I think your brother can help me run this shit, I'm tired of running this shit on my own, I need a partner, that's why I'm being hard on em. That's why I got him doing all this crazy shit, I'm trying to prepare him because you can't be weak in this shit" he spoke
I nodded
"I just want him to be safe, I'll do anything to make sure he's good" I spoke genuinely
He nodded
"Be here at 8:00am" he commanded
"I have work" I responded
He chuckled a little
"Might ass well quick sweetheart, we got a lot of planning to do" he spoke
"I need the money" I responded
"Yo brother making racks now, it's just until we get the job done then you can go back to making people fries and boneless wings and shit" he says
I sighed before walking out
I just wish everything goes well
