When I left Rya's house I called up Marlon I told him to meet me at Rico's mansion some shyt was going down.

When I arrived at Rico's mansion it was packed. I mean black SUV's everywhere.

I got out the car and slipped past security. I went upstairs and ran into Cole.

"Bro what's going on." I said

"Rico got shot, he okay but it was close to his heart. He wanna talk to you so go upstairs."

My mind was racing we ain't got no enemies so who the hell would want Rico dead. He ain't even in the game no more.

I peered around the corner and saw Lana changing his bandages. Lana is our home nurse she always around when we don't want the police in our buissness.

" Hey Lana."

" Hey Rio he's doing fine he just slipping in and out but he'll pull through. He wanted to talk to you so I think you should stay here until he wakes up."

"Arright Lana thank you." And with that she walked out the room.

I sat down in the chair and called Marlon again and told him to get his ass over here. Ten minutes later he was waiting in the room with me. It was silent between us until he spoke up.

"I think Ashley pregnant." I looked up over to him and said
" You ain't wrapping up." Then bust out laughing.

"Naw niqquah that shyt ain't funny. But I'm not ready for a kid I love her but I'm too young and I'm in this game... I just got a little one to live for now."

"Well has she told you?" I said in a serious tone.

"No but I can feel it she been moody and sick lately... and she threw up. I actually cleaned that shyt up for her too."

I bust out laughing but was interrupted by Rico.

"I hope yah having a good time right now because buissness needs to be handled tonight."

Me and Marlon looked over at rico and dapped him up and said

"Waasup what you need us to do."

"Yah remember them niqquah's that Patrick was working with?"

"Yea I remember Dee and Robert."

"Well they just hit us again, took 25 kilos and shot me. I shot one of them in the knee but that was the best I can do. I need yah to finish the job."

I thought long and hard about how we was gon do this and why we didn't kill these niqquah's before.

"Arright Rico we gon holla when the job is done just stay low till I tell you it's cool." We dapped up again then I left with Marlon on my tail.

When we made it down stairs I told Chris and Cole to meet us at the trap in two hours.

I dropped Marlon off at his crib and told him to get his stuff and chill with Ashley for a while until I pick him up.

My next stop was to Khalil's corner. I only worked with him when I needed guns and that heavy good shyt.

"Was good khalil." I said walking up to him.

"Niqquah you back again?" He said laughing dapping me up.

"Niqquah shut up, but yea them niqquah's from around the way hit us and shot Rico."

"Oh shyt word?? Well I ain't got nothing but that weak shyt next week imma have a new shipment coming in. You can hit me up then."

I stood there for a moment thinking up a plan. I dapped up Khalil and left. When I went back to my car I dialed up Marlon and told him change of plans and to meet me at the trap at 8.

Meanwhile I went home to get my head straight. I really have been slacking on my responsibilities. It's not like I can't handle it but its a lot on my plate. I drifted off to sleep with the thought of what I was gonna do with all this.

I woke up two hours later threw on some basketball shorts with my Nike slides grabbed my car keys and made my way to the trap.

When I walked into the living room my presence was known and the whole room got quiet. I stood in the front of the room and started to speak.

" Im sure ya heard what happened to Rico and I know yah know who did it. I got a plan but its not gonna take place till next week. Any questions?"

"Yea who did it?" Cole said raising his hand while everyone else started laughing.

"Are yah done playing around because this is no joke if yah want out then bounce now. Everybody been slacking where was yah when they got us for 25 kilos and shot Rico. In the basement getting high. No more bull shitting if yah want out say it now."

The room went dead silent and no one said a word. "Now everybody get to work Chris, Cole and Marlon in my office." I said walking away.

I sat down behind my desk and began to talk.

"How do yah think we should do this?" I asked all three of my boys.

"Well..." Cole started off." Dee got kids It don't really feel right to kill him."

"You think he'll give a fvck about you?" I said getting mad.

"No but how would you feel if somebody took your dad away from you growing up without a father figure yo that's why girls got daddy issues."

He did kind of have a point about the whole Father figure thing but Robert gotta go.

"Yo I don't think Rico gon like us leaving him alive though." I said

"Well lets torture the niqquah real bad make sure he know not to fvck with us."
Marlon said

I was still thinking, though it felt like the right thing to do we could be risking too much by keeping him alive.

"Look I tell you what,imma talk this over with Rico and if it comes down to it I'll have someone do it or I'll be the one to pull the bullet. Yah just get back to work."

We dapped up and they left in silence. I leaned back in my chair rubbing my face thinking about what to do.

These niqquah's stole from us and almost killed my father figure.I'm sure if they had the choice to kill me, take my whole empire and run it straight to the ground just for one of they own come ups. Naw my shyt not going down like that.

I got up locked my office and started to walk down to the basement. It was good to see everything running smoothly I then left the house and went back home.

My alarm woke me the next morning I forgot all about school I ended up going back to sleep better late then never.
