Man I don't even know what this was about, but I knew better than to actually ask too many questions at this point. I was sitting at the table in the warehouse after a cryptic ass text. I could've sworn this was over for me, but here I am. I looked across the table at Riek who seemed amazingly calm. Jay seemed to be uneasy, and C was definitely bugging. And then let's not forget Iris just looking far too excited about the whole thing in general. The fact that all these different vibes were floating around in one room was crazy. Then, the door opened. We all had our eyes glued on the door and then in walks Martin. "Well damn, hello to y'all too." he said as he came and sat down next to me. "Bruhhh don't anybody know what this is about?" Jay asked breaking the silence. "Naw I'm lost. I thought we were on leave." I said. "Same." Martin said and we all looked over at C Money waiting for his answer. "We don't know anything either. We're waiting with the same anticipation as y'all." Iris said. Charles looked up at us finally. "Oh y'all thought I knew something?" he said and we all laughed. "I'm over here thinking of what in the world this could possibly be of importance. It's not making sense." Yeah at this point because it's all of a sudden it could be anything. "Well one thing for sure, we finna find out." Riek said. That was true for sure. "Damn...he still ain't here?" Key said walking in. "So basically, it's everyone except for the bi..." I started and then Toy's dad walked in and nodded looking around with Widow right behind him. This was different. "Why the faces, y'all not happy to see me?" Widow said as he took a seat at the head of the table and Big G came and stood right behind me. "So...I think we're all just kinda thinking what's going on for real?" Charles said. "We're getting to that, but it isn't anything to alarm you all. It's more of an upgrade if you will." G said to us which sounded even more cryptic than before. "Obviously you've all moved up in the ranks, you included Riek, because they can trust you. So you need people up under you. I have a couple to introduce you to and then you can build the rest around them." Widow said as the door opened and his bodyguard walked in and and stood in front of the door before the 2 guys and 1 girl. "So this is Mo, Raheim, and Dezire. They're at your disposal. I trust you can round up 2 more that's thorough enough." Widow said. "There is however a job that will be on the table soon, and it's a special one. Please don't see so alarmed when you receive the message." G said as he and Widow exited. I looked over at C and he was looking at me. Well...since I was the one technically in position, I guess this falls on me. "So...what you do to let Widow know you could be trusted?" I asked them. "Buck fiftied a bitch for getting out of line." Dezire said. "Nice! But that's really torture work, you ever flatlined someone?" Iris asked as she stepped up. Dezire smiled and lifted up her shirt to show a scar on he stomach that looked a lot like a stab wound. Definitely looked hella crazy. "Let's just say the guy who did it, never picked anything up again." she said calmly. "What about pretty boy over here?" Jay said as he walked up on Raheim and he smirked a little. "There ain't nothing new under the sun, if it can be done, I've done it. And don't let the 'pretty boy' fool you, I ain't nothing to play with." he said. "But you still haven't gotten specific lil homie." I said to him. "Remember that new story about the body parts that were popping up everywhere?" Me and Mar made eye contact since we just spoke on that recently. "My handy work. Gotta make sure people know what it's hitting for when you play with me." "I'm not mad at that, that was some shit." Mar said sounding real unimpressed. "But then that leaves you my guy. What's your story?" Riek asked as he started sizing Mo up. "I'm America's worst nightmare. I get good grades but I could tutor most on street cred. I am a young scholar, but I'm also the reason these mufuckas nodding off in class. I'm already accepted into every HBCU, but I'm also the reason some black people are history. I'm a model citizen and a menace to society. I don't offer explanations because that's how people start building cases. You just gone have to see me in the field." Mo said. I can't lie, I like this lil nigga right here. I don't know if it was his approach or if it was I could see a lot of me in him. "Good speech. Was it written or straight off the dome?" Key asked him. "Paper and pen is for the court system ma, what comes out is what it is." he said calmly. C walked over to me and whispered. "You think they're ready for training?" he asked me. "I think some one on one and then group. This last one though, just group. I don't think the one on one is beneficial to him, he already got his head on right." "Agreed. So Key & Iris and Jay & Mar?" he asked for clarification about training. "I was thinking instead of Jay & Mar, do Mar & Riek for him." I said. "You might be onto something there." C said. "I think the remaining could just take a ride with me, you, and Jay." I told him. "Say less." he said as he walked over to them. "So gentlemen and lady...whatever you've done up until this point landed you in this room. That being said, you earned your stripes. But making it through us determines what you're gonna do with said stripes. I hope you are ready because it's gonna be a wild ride for sure." Charles explained to them. I can't believe this is the start of an empire in front of me right now.
