The Unusual Suspects Book 2

Tony

I was standing outside my house pacing for what seemed like an eternity for real. I could not believe somebody had the nerve to shoot up my car after throwing a brick through my windshield. But the damn note attached to it is what had me on edge. I knew I could only call C Money to help me with this one because this was on some other shit. He just pulled up and hopped out the whip and walked over.                     
"Damn Joe, yall good?" he asked.     
"Man yeah nobody was in the car, but I need you to help me handle this bruh." I said as he walked closer.
"Say less." he said as I expected. I handed him the note that was attached to the brick. He read it and then looked over at me. "So...have you talked to Autumn?" he asked me. Which I figured would be the #1 question since the note said to stay away from her.                                          
"Naw, but I'm sure it's her dumb ass baby daddy." I told him.                          
"All I need is a name T." he told me.  
"She said his name was Cease." I told him. He put his hand down and looked like he was in deep thought.  
"He from Florida, right?" he asked me and I nodded. "That's what I thought. He be at this spot out in Cabbagetown that Clive runs." he said to me. "So the question is, you trying to eliminate or just relay a message?" he asked me.                      
"I don't know bruh. It's like on one hand, I want to eliminate the nigga all together because what the fuck he on. At the same time, that's her baby daddy and we can't be going to war with Clive." I said. "Fuck!"             
"Wait...Clive can't go to war with us when he's in debt." Charles said.         
"What?" I said feeling a little opening coming now.              "He borrowed $10K from Widow 2 months ago and then got the extension. So at this point he's already in debt for 15 up and a foot soldier is only worth 10." See now I feel like we could make something shake with this info.              "But then that means we need a meeting with Clive." I said. Charles immediately picked up his phone and made a call. See this is why it is always good to have this cat on tuck because he is literally the ace you never knew you needed to trump it all. He talked for a few minutes.        "You ready?" he asked me.                  
"We can do this now?" I said shocked. He laughed a little.    "Yup I told him we needed to talk Yesterday. He said he'll be at Noah's Ark in 20 minutes." Nice!                       
"Let's ride then." I said as we hopped in the car. So much transpired so quickly. This happened, I had to get Toya up out of there and secure the crib. Now look at us. It had only been 1 hour for all of this to have transpired. The whole ride out there had me feeling anxious as hell for real but this shit definitely needed to be addressed. No bullshit should ever come to where I lay my head. Especially behind a female I ain't even fucking with on that level. Don't get me wrong, I love Autumn but I don't know what she got herself wrapped up in. All I know is I'm about to straighten all this shit out. We pulled up and C looked over at me as he concealed his weapon the same way I did mine. We hopped out the car and went over towards the entrance and Clive was already there. We walked up as his twin stepped on the side of him.                 "Thanks for meeting with us." Charles said as we stood in front of them and they took their stance.    
"Of course, you know it's all love. What can I help you with?" he asked.
"I got some business with one of yours that could go left." I told him. 
"Name?" Claude asked.                          
"Cease." I said and they looked at each other and nodded.  "What is it gonna cost me?" Clive asked me as he pulled out a roll.      
"Naw, this ain't monetary. Your boy threw a brick with this on it through my shit at the crib. Then proceeded to shoot my windows out." I said as I handed the note over.   "Yeah that's Cease's writing." Claude said verifying the information to Clive. Clive took a deep breath.            
"So you want my blessing to body him?" he asked me.        "Naw, he can breathe. But I want my rounds." I said clearly.                             
"Right cuz you got that nice ass old school, right?" Clive said and I nodded. "I get that. So I'll do you a solid if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." he said.                        
"What we talking?" C asked.                
"I'll give you 8 racks and lure him here and we can call it even." C looked at me and I looked at him.
"Deal." C told him. Claude passed C the money and Clive went ahead and sent that message. We waited for about 15 mins when I heard the footsteps approaching.                "Yo what's good Cli..." he trailed off when he looked me in my eyes.            
"So I heard about your bitch moves with the allies. Care to share?" Clive said calm as hell to him.                           
"I can explain that. Listen when it comes to my babyma..." Clive raised his hand and Cease immediately shut up.          "What's rule number #3?" Clive said. 
"Never bite the hand that feeds you." Cease said and Clive nodded in approval.                                                          "Great, yall have a good night." he said as him and Claude began to leave and I went straight to him. He went to square up and then I went ahead and hit him with a hook right in the middle of his chest. He staggered back to attempt to catch his breath as I went ahead and took him up and slammed him. I started to kick his ass while he was on the ground.                                                          "You...old...tender...dick...bitch." I said as I went ahead and punched him in the face  when he tried to get up. "Not knowing me for real is one thing, but it would be best to try to be there for your unborn. Quit knocking on the Devil's door." I said.
