Hood Games

Chapter 25

Troy's POV

"Why you here Troy"

I looked over at the king, the legend who runs Cali. Any time I needed help with anythin I can always count on him.

"I wanted to say hi"

"I know you ain't come all the way back to your home town to say hi, so what's really been going on?"

Taking a drag from the blunt one of his girls rolled for me, I closed my eyes. Truth is I'm not sure why I came here- I mean I flew to California on some overnight service.

"Can I be honest with you?"

"You always where, why stop now"

I opened my eyes an starred at Tyrone not sure how the hell he was gonna take wat I was about to say. I mean I knew him for most of my life he always bailed me out threw anything. When I got in trouble with the feds even when I got drunk an almost died in a hail of gun fire down at the beach when I was twelve. He's the only person I fuck with heavy besides Raheem.

"I don't know why the hell im doing it. When I was younger I knew but right now I dont get it"

"That doesn't sound like the guy I know"

I watched him get up and walk around the desk to sit infront of me. Oh shit, im about to get the talk.

"Look Troy, no one's tying you down to stay in the game. And I kno you better than you do so cut the crap, what's really goin on?"

"There's this girl back in Detroit"

"Oh, shit Troy. You settling down?"

"Nah, but it ain't like I want her for pussy too. I mean, I can get that from any hoe at the strip club"

"Aight, so what's up?"

"I love her like I really do but the things im involved with I know she's going to get hurt, she's already been kidnapped"

"So why come here for, it seem's like you got it all figured out"

I walked out onto his terrace thinking about what he said.

"I don't know man, I just need you to snap me out of it. Come on do your magic, you was good at this when i was younger I need you to do it now"

"When you where younger all I had to do was tell you the girls trying to get with you had punani that smelled like fish an eggs- your ass was running"

"Tyrone im serious man, snap me outta it"

"Out of what Troy- love? Im a drug dealer, not a miracle worker- Troy if you love her like you say you do an she got you thinking bout getting off the streets and out of all this than keep her"

"What"

"Your 18 its not to late to get out Troy"

"You tell me that every year"

"Well it's s harder when your older to get out, you got more problems"

I watched the smoke come from my mouth as I took another drag.

"So what's up with you back in Detroit business wise"

"This gang got some beef with mine so im handling things"

"I heard about that"

"Damn yall hear shit all the way from here"

"Boy im international shit"

"Yea, yea what else they said"

"Well im above rumors an shit, but since I got you here let me ask you something"
