•The Work of A Lady•

Been Thugin'

|Luke|

I sat at my desk with my hands folded, thinking. The cops just busted the of my hoes, two dealers and a dirty cop. Two out of six of them are dead. Now, they might snitch or they might keep their mouth shut. I have two choices. I can let it be or go hire another dirty cop, I have plenty of strippers making me money but dealers & those that sell, I only trust a few with my kilos.

I got up out of my chair and to the banister of the stair case.

"Meeting tonight! Pass on the word. I want everyone here. If your late, you will pay the consequences." I told everyone downstairs. They got straight to work. Meetings were no play thing and they know if they miss three or more, their dead.

I picked up my cell and speed dialed Alex. The phone rung three times before I got an answer, "Wassup?"

"It's a meeting tonight. Don't be late, Alex."

"I'm on my way now my nigga." He said before the phone clicked. I looked at the screen and sat my phone down.

"Baby come here!" I yell to her.

"Wassup papi?" She says wrapping her arms around my neck. "I need you to go to the club and collect. If they ain't paying, you know what to do." I say handing her my chrome 42. She smiles taking the gun and kisses my cheek.

"Nah come back here." I say catching her just before she walks out the door. "What?" She whined. "You just ready to pop a bitch ain't ya?" She giggled, walking up to me.

"Yes but you keep stopping me."she pouted. I grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately.
"I love you baby." She said to me. I smiled looking in her eyes and opened the door. She walked out, I closed the door and sat at my desk, checking the time I was late for my own meeting. When I say tonight, I mean 12 o' clock. That's the first p.m. I got up stretching and grabbing pictures of the six. I went downstairs to the meeting room and it was packed. They immediately got quiet as I made my way to the front.

"Where's my money?" I ask mostly all of them. They form a line and one by one, band by band they come & go. I smile n nod at the amount it looks like I have. I'll have Autumn count and sort it all out before I pay them.

"Alright." I say posting the pictures up. "All of these dead beat mutha fuckas got caught and prolly snitchin'. We lost our strongest link and our weakest link is dead. That doesn't matter now. Who ever can get me a dirty cop and new blood, I got you." I say with a smirk. I sat in my chair ready to hear anything anybody had to say.

"Um boss, this month was rough, I was fuckin up and got robbed. I am not going to be able to pay just now, but I got you."

"Oh you got me? Everybody look at this fool." Everyone's head turned I looked at Alex and nodded. Alex aimed it at Z. , And pulled the trigger.

"Clean his body up. I want Chris, Benny, Jesus, Alex, Rob, Davion, Lock and Denny ASAP. The rest of y'all know what to do." I say dismissing them.

Those few that I called off went to my office. I got up and called Autumn. "Wassup babe?" She answered, "Hey baby, did they all pay?"

"Yea but we missing like five girls. I asked where they at and they didn't know so I'll be late." She said with a giggle.

"Alright when you get home I gotta surprise for ya." The sound in her voice differed from before, she sounded more sexual. "Alright. Love you, see you soon pappi." I smiled, "I love you too mami." I said then hung up going into my office.

"Wassup boys." I say closing my door and taking a seat.

"Wassup?" They respond. I go straight to the point, "I got fifty kilos in my storage. I'll start by giving each of you five a piece. Shake it and move it. Please don't get caught? I need y'all and if it's a success, the several of you will earn my respect and trust. " I say, "And remember, it can take a decade to build up trust and loyalty but seconds to break it. Don't Fuck with me y'all. I'll meet y'all at storage 201 on the North side around 5 tomorrow. Meeting adjourned." I said dismissing them. All but Alex left my office.

"Wassup fam'?" I question him.

"Uh, when my baby getting paid?" He asked me. I chuckle. "Uh," I mock him. "She ain't came up here yet. You know she that visual person that wanna see and know everything." We laugh. "True, true. Nosey ass all ways all up somebody business." He took a seat. I nod. "You ready to make this money?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded. "I'm Trina get a least one mil or more. I wanna make this bread, make sure my baby taken care of might just moved up outta Naptown, cause I gotta leave the game soon."He said.

I wasn't that type of Nigga to be like oh no!You gotta stay my Nigga I need you. No. I want what's best for my fam'.

"Right on. Honestly, I was thinking bout leaving too but you know when you too adapted to the game it's like cigarettes, you addicted and it's hard to quit you feel me?" I say.

He sighed nodding. "You make it seem like it's hard to leave fam'." Alex said. "It is Lex! Look, I been thinking how I'm gone do this for the longest. The closest I got was 80 grand, I left for a week just to get caught up in some bull shit and return to the game." I say shrugging.

"Man, fuck that. I'm leaving as soon as I'm done selling and when Jazzi get her money." He joked. I chuckled. "Hit her up so I can give her, her money. She probably ain't even worried about it."

He pulled his phone out and focused on it. I shook my head. This nigga hella retarded. I kicked back at my desk watching him and the thought of his birthday rolled up in my mind. I laughed to myself thinking of what I was gonna plan for him.

√Jamine√ |Jazzi|

"Jazzi got bands!!" I scream to Alex through the phone making him laugh. "Where you at bae?"

"In here, sitting with this fool." He answered.

"I was waiting for you at the door bae. Thought you was home." I pouted putting my car in drive and pulling off. "Oh for real? My bad baby why ain't you call?"

"I been out here for ten minutes and I know how slow you move but damn, I'm out here looking like a fool blowing my damn horn, people coming outside looking at me, this one chick almost hopped in my shit." I said angrily. "Damn bae, calm down. You coming here or you want me to meet you with to money?"

"Um, no. I want Mr. Lucas to count it out as I watch him thank you."

"Damn he was right about you."

"Excuse me? Who was right about who?"

"Nothing baby! See you soon,Love you."

"Mhm imma beat yo ass as soon as I get there." He laughed. I hung up on him driving to the trap.

I wondered what it was like to be a trap queen. It's probably worse than it sounds. I mean, making money and having a man.. Being a ho is what the trap queen is. She might not know and she might not care. I hope that don't turn out to be me . I laugh at my thoughts.

I don't know why but I keep getting these weird feelings that someone's watching me. Aye! That's my song.I got a feeling somebody watching meee. I sing to myself and die laughing. "Ah, shit." I say parking my car.

I hopped out and walked happily inside. "Hey y'all."

"Wassup J." Everyone responded in various ways. I walked up the stairs and the strong sent of green hit my face. "Y'all stay smoking? Y'all know that just might be how y'all die. " I joke to Luke and Alex. They look at me in an irritated way. I walk up to Alex and tag him in the shoulder.
