marcus walked through douglass, eyes piercing his skull from all over. he knew it was a long shot but after what his sister pulled, he had to get back and he had to do it bad.

he had nothing on him and no ski since he failed to get it from marni. his sister pulled a knife on him like they was opps.

was she dead ass? marcus felt like he wasn't in the wrong for anything that happened in marni's room. he shook his head, getting those thought out of his head.

he approached the basketball court and spotted sdot. naz and 5ive nodded towards marcus when they seen him. fallon and sdot turn towards him.

sdot gets up and walks over to marcus, everyone in the court watching inventively. "what you fucking with?" sdot asks with low eyes.

"i wanna be a sweeper." marcus says lowly. "nigga what? so you could be the 48? are you dumb?" sdot asks.

"ion fuck with them niggas. just because my sister in that shit don't mean nun. they got me beat up once and almost got me beat up again. i need to do them dirt." marcus hangs his head low, confusing sdot.

"you want to be a sweeper.. to get back at them? how is that gonna do anything?" sdot asks. "i can help ya safely spin the block." marcus talks.

"we don't need a chaperone, my heart." sdot chuckles. marcus thinks long and hard about he could provide for them.

"i know who killed jay." marcus blurts. he wasn't supposed to say that. "yea so do we." sdot shrugs. "no but i know him know him. he's camrin's cousin." he speaks.

sdots eyes widened. "fallon! naz! 5ive! pull up!" he yells. the trio walks up to the pair. "now tell them what you just told me, and everything else that you know. don't leave nothing out." sdot speaks.

"nah marcus a buggout." gio shakes her head. "that's what i'm saying. he needs to chill." marni sighs. "check his lo, see where he at." kevin tells her.

marni nods and grabs her phone. she checks his location to see that he was in the middle of douglass projects.

her heart dropped. "guys i have a bad feeling he's doing something he's not supposed to be doing." marni speaks.

"remember when we told him, well basically scared the living shit out of him, to not say anything about chris?" marni questions.

"you don't think he would, right?" gio asks. "nah, he wouldn't." kevin shrugs. "you didn't see that look in his eyes. that switch. it was like there wasn't a human controlling his body." marni bites her nails.

"marni, are you scared right now?" kevin asks, sitting on the floor next to her. "yes." marni whispers. "it was the look in his eyes. i've only ever seen that look in mel's eyes."

"you mean like when y'all argued?" gio questions. "no." marni lifts up her shirt to reveal a stab wound on her lower abdomen. "like when he stabbed me." marni says, taking kevin and gio back.

"he did what?!" kevin immediately stands up. gio rushes over to marni to inspect her stomach. "when?" gio asks.

"when i broke up with him. the day we was supposed to spin rpt." marni spoke, her voice quivered. "you told me, your stomach hurt." gio says.

"it most definitely did." marni chuckles. "and you ain't tell us why?" kevin raises an eyebrow. "i had beef with you and it didn't seem like a big deal." marni shrugs.

"bitch what?!" gio exclaims. "you got poked by your nigga, ex nigga, whatever the fuck you want to call him, and that's not a big deal?!"

"i'm alive, aren't i. if i was dead, that's a different story." marni sits on her bed. "yous a dumbass." kevin shakes his head.

"okay but besides that, let's focus on marcus. you think he gon rat about chris?" gio speaks. "probably to get back at us." marni says.

"okay but chris and jay was not our fault." kevin adds. "chris is cam's lil cousin. and we knew he was spinning that block that day because rami told him." gio stands up.

"rami did what?? rami as in ramiyah? as in fallon's best friend? as in the dumb bitch who overdosed in lincoln terrace?" kevin stands up.

"yeah." marni and gio say, confused. "rami as in like a little sister to dougie? as in the bitch who was fucking naz gpg?" kevin sits back down in shock.

"yes bruh. get with the fucking program." gio hits him in his head. "okay but i'm confused. what did ramiyah have against jay and naz because naz was in the car too?" kevin asks.

"uhmm i think fallon texted ramiyah that sdot came to apologize and rami told cam cause she and cam was talking. so i think it was an accident." marni shrugs.

"how you line someone by accident?" kevin asked. "the same way you overdose by accident. like a fucking dumb ass. stupid ass bitch. hated that lil girl." marni rolls her eyes, grabbing her remote and turning on the tv.

"wait so if marcus tells them that, shouldn't we be good then?" gio asks. "this the streets, niggas will never be good." marni sighs.

"you're a fucking liar!" fallon yells at marcus. "chris and ramiyah used to talk. everyone knew this." marcus shrugs.

"nigga not everyone." 5ive speaks in disbelief. "how long you knew about this for?" sdot asks. "since it came out that jay died. i heard marni and them talking about it." marcus says.

"bro that bitch almost got me killed?" naz says, pure disgust shooting across his face. "don't call her that!" fallon yells.

"that bitch got jay killed and i could've been dead too and you still here standing up for her?!" naz questions.

"he's a fucking liar. he's here to distract us while they plot on us." fallon says. "that bitch marni is dead to me, word to mommy." marcus scoffs.

"them niggas get off on seeing me suffer, well i got a couple things for 'em. and if y'all not gon help me, i'll take my business elsewhere." marcus stands up from off of the park bench.

"wait." sdot says with his head lowered. "why you ain't join doa when you had a chance?" he asks. "i ain't wanna be jumped in. i seen how they did marni. she was looking rough." marcus shuddered.

"it's either we shoot you, you get jumped in by us three or you get jumped in by everyone in that court." naz nods over to that basketball court.

"where we gon do this at?" marcus asks, his eyes darkened. 5ive smirks as the trio leads him into one the buildings staircases.

authors note
here's some lore that connects the two books only because i've been thinking about this for MONTHSS now. fallon and marni got stabbed by the same person with the same knife, marni's ex, mel ( kamel ). i always felt that fallon's stabbing died down to quickly in book 1 but it will most def be talked about in book 2. love ya and keep reading !
