Love In The Hood: Kendrick & Alex

6.

|Alexandra|

Fuck. My. Life.

I smacked my lips and looked away. Why did it have to be him of all people.

RILEY.

"What are you doing here Alex?" he asked in a stern voice.

I mentally rolled my eyes. I am in a weak position but this is just some shit. I mean he had to be here saving me. Why couldn't it be the police or some random nigga. I shook my head.

"Oh so now you can talk?" I eyed him.

"Your big mouth will get you fucked up Alex. Answer my question."

"Can't you see I'm tied up here? I have obviously been kidnapped." I kissed my teeth. Why is he so dense?

Just then two guys walked in and looked at me. They both had skii masks on. Is it skii mask day or some shit.

"Man, no witnesses. Why is she still alive?" the other guy asked Riley. He was now cocking his gun. Riley stopped him and sighed.

"Leave her alone man, she ain't a part of them."

He walked towards me and untied me. I was just suprised. Riley standing up for me. Well that was unexpected. My wrists hurt badly, I had been tied up too long.

"How can we know if we can trust her not to snitch?" some guy asked.

"I will not snitch. I swear on my life. I don't even know what y'all on about," I said with my hands in surrender.

I am not ready to die.

Riley gave me a chance and I am not dumb enough to play with it. All I am thinking about is how to get out of this situation unscathed. Hopefully they will see me as being harmless.

"Look, she will not do anything stupid. You can trust her. Right, Alex?" he looked at me.

I gave a quick nod. Mentally I had all my fingers and toes crossed hoping I won't die. The other guy with a baritone voice pulled Riley outside the room. The other guy was instructed to tie me up, gag and blindfold me.

"Guys, please I promise I wont snitch. Please don't tie me up again please." I tried to reason but I was ignored. All I could do was cry. My curiosity sure put me in some shit today.

I pulled Riley outside the room. This has definetely changed now.

"Isn't that girl Alex from school?" I asked.

"Yeah it's her. That guy I shot was about to rape her. I hate bastards who do that shit to women"

"We gonna have to kill her. I don't want witnesses."

"What? Kendrick come on man, give her a break. She doesn't know what happened." Riley stated wide eyed.

I really hate feeling sympathetic for people. But since my nigga is begging I will just have to comply. I don't trust her though.

"Fine, just as long as she stays at the trap house until she earns my trust." I stated. I was in no mood to negotiate further. He knew my tone when I had no time for playing around. We walked back into the room and she was crying. A.J had her blindfolded. She looked vulnerable and I couldn't give two shits. I walked off and called the clean up team.

We drove off to our trap house. I had fun throwing bullets around. I should do it more often, it's really relaxing.

When we got to the trap house Alex was untied.

"I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself. Then I will set you free. If you mess this chance up, I will kill your family," Kendrick stated without flinching.

"What should I do to prove myself?"

"You will be my mule until I decide otherwise. If you get caught its your ass and you will not mention me. Since you and Riley are besties he will show you the ropes." I chuckled.

The look on her face was paining though. I turned away. Her face reminds me of the days when my mother used to be beat on.

So vulnerable yet so beautiful.

"Beautiful?" I mumbled.

Someone cleared their throat behind me. I turned and found Riley looking at me with pleading eyes. I thought he hates her.

"What Riley, damn?"

"Look, let me make you a dea.."
Kendrick raised his hand in protest.

"She will be a mule, I don't give a fuck what you want right now. Just leave bruh. Go.."

I am in no mood to be giving out deals.

**Two weeks later**

I had Alex working overtime making deliveries to my case workers. She learned really fast. I pay her for her risks but I shouldn't, I mean she is indebted to me after all.

"Some of your guys got caught today," Alex stated as she walked into my office. I ignored the fact that she hadn't knocked.

"How many?"

"Three of them, plus I heard that we lost a few kilos of white today. The guys at the border were caught."

I sighed. I am losing my money, my workers and fast. Someone is really working hard on running me down. Quentin was getting paid for nothing. I need to pay him a visit.

I had run out of ideas on what to do. My empire is dying before it even begins. I dialled Rileys number on my phone. He answered on the third ring.

"Dude, can you come to my office,"

"Yeah give me ten minutes"

I hung up and noticed that Alex was still standing there.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked bored.

"I will be honest, you really need to let me help you. I have useful information," she smiled at me.

"Go on,"

"The Baron cartel..,"

"The biggest cartel right now.."

"Let's infiltrate them and make them null & void," she sounded excited.

"Do you have a death wish?" I asked standing.

The Baron cartel is no child's play. I can't risk losing more of my workers but I need money. Plus they are the only thing standing between me and finally getting what I deserve.

"Fine bruh, go ahead and lose all your shit for nothing, Im out," Alex rolled her eyes.
