Gangster's Gem: The Devious Dance

24

A few days later

"What you want for yo birthday?" Malik asked as he rubbed circles on my back. It was currently 12am and we were at his house doing literally nothing.

"Something expensive" I smiled as I laid on top of him

"It was gon be expensive either way, if you wanted something expensive or not" he moved my face to the side, kissing my forehead

"That's why I like you"

"Just that?"

As I was about to respond, my phone started ringing, "Don't answer," Malik said to me

"It's my brother," I ignored him before picking up the phone

"Hey wassup? ..... What? ...... Y'all good? ...... How they find you? .... What the fuck? ..... Where you at? ....I'm on my way!"

"What's going on?" Malik asked as he got up off his bed with me

"I barely even know, they was about to do some shit in the north but the fucking police was there first so them niggas just ran into the woods and kept going. Jamal the only one with cell service and he ain't wanna call his other niggas just incase the police is watching them too. So imma go pick them up" I informed Malik

"Diamond how you gon fit all them niggas in yo hellcat?" Malik asked me

"Nigga I ain't worried bout that right now"

"Just let me handle it, put yo clothes on and wait for me downstairs while I make this call"

10 minutes later

"Aight let's go, my men will meet us there" he told me while he walked down his stairs in some suede tracksuit

"Why you even interested?" I wondered while I texted my brother letting him know we were on our way and not to accidentally start shooting at Malik's men

"Fuck I look like letting you drive yo self into some woods tryna evade police" he chuckled while he gripped the steering wheel tighter

"And, some similar shit happened to my operations recently, I'm tryna talk to yo brother and Mack, see what's going on" he added

"Damn, everything went to shit after I left yo ass huh?" I giggled while he mugged me

"Ain't funny"

Malik's Perspective:
1 hour later

"I preciate you for what you did tonight" Jamal said as he dapped me up outside Mack's crib

"It ain't none. But listen though, I'm tryna speak to you and Mack for a minute" I responded as I looked at Mack who was talking to Diamond

"Aye Mack!" Jamal slightly yelled, causing him to walk over to us

"What's good" he greeted me as the rest of his guys walked inside the house including Diamond

"Almost two weeks ago, the same shit happened to my operation. 12 showed up before we did"

"Like they was waiting, like they knew what you was bouta do huh?" Mack added on, relating to what just happened to him

"Right. Keep this quiet but we think somebody's talking, the police got some new division going and we don't know much but it ain't no way this shit took place without inside information" I continued

"Ion like accusing my niggas of some shit like that" Jamal responded apprehensively

"Neither do I but this shit ain't no damn coincidence"
