FINE LINE

Playgrung

Flamez POV

As I sat on my balcony and light my spliff; I began thinking about all the shit I had to get done in the short space of time.

Kmft

I didn't like doing anything in a haste because that's when you're most likely to make mistake and mi neva have no room fi errors. I was a very calculated man so I liked to do everything on my timing when I knew everything could get done carefully.

I just got of the phone a short while a go with my father who was letting me know that Mr. Kerr no longer had his case because he fired him. Even behind bars he still had people at his beck and call. Now he was telling me that I needed to find him a new lawyer.

Di fuckery just never ends.

My father was doing time for manslaughter and was facing 15 years in prison. The situation was a whole mess because he got framed and in all honesty him did look guilty as shit. Not saying that he's a saint or anything because many have died by his orders or by his hands but the one that placed him behind bars had nothing to do with him.

My father or Skepta as the street knew him as a very ruthless and vicious man. Him neva give a fuck who you be or Weh you come from, him neva fraid fi put you six feet under. I guess I would say I learnt my tactics from him, he made sure to teach my brother's and I all his little tricks and trade because as him woulda say "mi want unuh fi become better than me inna di game and better business men."

Well we all did take his advice because we did maths up the book work and all established businesses while running tings now since him inside. I was the youngest of three boys at 23 and we had a younger sister Atlas who was 17. Xavion was the older of the three boys and he was the CFO of Lacoste Motors. The company that my father built from the ground up. Hugo was the acting CEO for the time being. As for me on the other hand I had my own company that I started at 17. It was a start up tech company and now it was a flourishing billion dollar company.

Nerdy and unexpected......... Mi know mon.

My father always encouraged me to build my company because he knew he could always used it to his advantage. Him did love fi think bout himself and him other business, Anything that he could use to elevate.

Skepta's other business was that he was an arms dealer. Any weapon you needed he had it. His car dealership was just a front to get the weapons into the country. Where my company came into play was that I created technology, programmes and coding, which meant that the government would eventually come on board for something. Skepta knew this from day one and he was just waiting for the moment where he could drop the Chernobyl.

I had been going to government offices for the past few years to do work for them and I've gained access to some very lucrative files.

Dem Nuh know that tho.

Everybody did done know seh the government system corrupt but jah jah wah me see wid my own two eyes a beyond corruption.

I finally decided to get up and go find something to eat. I entered the kitchen and decided to make ramen noodles. Couldn't badda fi guh cook nuh big pot. Just as a finished eating my food and washing up the plate I sensed someone standing in the doorway. I sighed putting the plate away. " Wah you want kimoya?" I asked her leaning against the cabinet to face her.

Just know a some fuckery she a come wid now enuh

" Peta- Gaye and I are going to chukka with her boyfriend so I wanted to know if I could go and would you come with me," she looked into my eyes and asked nervously.

Den you see mi a wul yuh foot muma gwaan and nuh come back cause all you do a nyam out mi food a mi yaad.

I sighed and dragged my had over my face looking at her with a serious expression on my face.
