We pull up under the bridge, these niggas are nowhere to be found. It's 8:10 now...what type of niggas are late to their own planned exchange? Then I remembered, niggas always late to something important. At this point, my mind is racing. Honestly they could be doing anything to my little brother right now, and then just come here and kill us. Snow saw the worry in my eyes, shit I was shaking like a stripper, my rage was at its boiling point right about now. He offered me some advice.
"Calm down, Kaide. It will all fall into place. We didn't come this far to fail, this is in God's hands and he's looking out for us. I promise you."
I looked back at him, let out the biggest sigh and nodded my head. And at that moment, I saw headlights. The moment is here.
I grabbed my gun, and an extra Snow got me, and tucked them into my pants so they couldn't see. Snow had the briefcase, and a piece of his own. Before we got out the car, Snow said a prayer:
"Dear God, I know this is the first time I've come to you in a while, but please have our backs. I know we dabbling into something that you frown upon, but we just need to get this done, you are my savior. I love you. Amen."
I said amen under my breath, and stepped outside the passenger door. There was no turning back now.
My heart was doing cartwheels, backflips, somersaults, all of that. Meanwhile Snow looked like this was a walk in the park. I tried my best to conceal the pressure I was facing, to the point my brain snapped into another mode. It's over now, I can do this. We stood halfway between their car and ours, waiting for them to get out. The tension was mad thick, I could taste it. Then it happened, the doors opened. Reed was the first to come out, then P, holding Dev. The level of disgust I feel right now is unfathomable, it got worse when this nigga P opened his mouth.
"Niggas! Welcome. I believe you have something we want." He pointed at the briefcase.
"As do you, nigga." I nodded my head towards Dev.
"So are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way? Go ahead and slide over the case."
I looked over at Snow and gave him the go-ahead. He put the case on the ground, and kicked it towards him. The case landed directly in front of P. He looked down. I find this a perfect opportunity to grab my gun and kill this nigga, but I know he's going to have something to say, I heard him out.
"You know, it's terrible it had to come to this. We could've ran all 5 boroughs man, all three of us. But shit happens right? Yo Reed, come get this case and check it out."
Okay so right now, my heart rate got even worse, I was hoping these niggas knew nothing about the difference between real and fake money. Reed stepped over to grab the case, and he opened it. Then I heard the words I was waiting to hear..."Yeah it's all here, let the little nigga go."
I sighed of relief, finally this is over.
"Wait, wait, let me get a good look at this myself." P walked over to Reed. "You know I heard you went down for possession while you was in school, how much did you have to pay for bail?"
I didn't answer.
"I said, how much did you pay for bail? I find it crazy you can reup this fast. Let me see," He pulled out a lighter, and reached towards the bottom of the case. "Let's truly see if you made this money, or you MADE this money..."
For those of you who don't know, a piece of real money will burn a true orange flame, however a counterfeit will flame red. So I'm hoping somehow someway, Snow mixed the dollars together. He put the lighter to the money.
It burned red.
"As I thought. Nice try. I hate it had to come to this, now I gotta kill all three of you."
In an instant, Snow pulled his gun out and started firing, he hit Reed, in the chest. P threw Dev to the ground and took off running around the bend. I ran after him, but Snow told me to stay and hang back and get Dev. So I did.
I ran to Dev, untied the rope from his arms, and hugged him. I cried a little, I was too happy he was back. Then, almost instantly, I heard shots. I told Dev to stay here, and I took off.
I got up to where I heard shots, and I can't believe it. There lies Snow, shot in the head, blood gushing. He's gone already. This throws me into a rage. I yell for P, then I hear a shot woosh in front of me. I look to my right, he's there.
I grabbed my gun, and he had his pointed at me. At this point I was ready to go out, and he knew. He pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. No ammo. At that moment I fired 9 shots into his chest. As he went down, I looked at his body, and spit at it. I walked back over to Snow, grabbed his hand, and apologized one last time.
"I'm so sorry for putting you through this. What I do from now on is all for you, that's my word."
His eyes were still open, I closed them. I went back to where Dev was, and that's when I heard the sirens again.
Fuck.
