The weeks had came and gone. Three weeks since everything transpired, which meant three weeks since the death of Gus. He had been adjusting to handling everything himself. When it came to this it was a partnership with him and Gus. They handled everything together.

Gino narrowed his dark brown eyes in suspense, carefully eyeing the moving truck. There was little to no light due to it still being dark out, only a street light which didn't give much due to it being old. The truck looked to be brand new, Troy's Lawn & Landscaping Services read on side of the truck in black writting in bold font. The rims on the truck were white and clean. Two men stepped out of the truck.

Expertly, using his back muscles Gino pushed himself off the black 2022 Cadillac Escalade. His long legs guided him towards the two men.

"I'm aware you know what time it is." Gino said staring solely on Amir. He didn't pay any attention to Chauncey cause he wasn't directly doing business with him. "Or maybe I wasn't specific with how well I wanted you to be on time."

Time meant money and the more time that was being wasted the more money he felt like he was losing. He was a man of many things and specifically being punctual. That was like a unwritten rule for Gino. He couldn't stand somebody not being on time. It was like a sign of disrespect to him.

"Troy wasn't able to make it. Which is the reason why we behind on time." Chauncey spoke causing Gino to look towards him.

"I know." He replied. "Still ain't a valid reason to not be on time." Gino says coolly as he looks at him.

Gino knew exactly who stood infront of him. If he was doing business with someone he knew everybody who was involved. Chauncey was Troy's son while Amir was his god-son. He knew of Chauncey very well since he would always come with his father but he didn't feel like this was the job for him. This would be his first time doing business with Amir but that didn't mean he didn't hear about him. He was impressed and didn't understand why Troy didn't play him close unlike Chauncey.

"Follow me." Gino says as he begins to walk but before he could get any further he stopped. "Just him." He says nodding towards Ahmir.

Chauncey looked at Gino with an unpleasant expression. He didn't understand what Gino had against him honestly. Troy informed Gino that he would be doing business with Ahmir not Chauncey and even if he wasn't informed he would still do the same. He wasn't a fan of Chauncey.

He had been doing business with Troy and his company for a month. He was part of the reason that the product was getting around discreetly all through the state of Texas. He moved firearms and drugs all for Gino and nobody ever suspected a thing. Gino needed a way to carefully move everything around without it looking to suspicious.

Gino could have easily transported his products himself but going into business with Troy was much smarter and safer.

Ahmir followed behind Gino, as Chauncey stayed put. He knew better then to get out of line. Gino would kindly put him in his place.

He didn't have nothing against him he just didn't care for him.

Chauncey moved way too out of pocket for him. He liked to be seen and had been in trouble with the law one too many times.

Opening the backseat passenger side door and grabbing the two duffel bags that were on the floor. He handed them to Ahmir.

Dropping both duffel bags on the ground he unzipped them seeing the bag was filled with cash.

Carefully, he checked each bag before zipping them both up and standing upright with both bags in his hand. He walks towards the moving truck as Gino now follows behind him.
