- When I got back to the crib , i decided to get my thoughts together and paper work started against all of them. I was going to start by meeting with the Supervisor , and telling him a thing or two about how I know he has a daughter that he doesn't claim in the hood. It was Jamie. She'd been told all her life that the big dude was her father but indeed , it was the Supervisor , Michael Davinson. Being as though I'm the father of his future grandchild , I feel I have pretty good leverage. I bought a cheese steak and chilled out at a local stand , waiting on him to leave for work. He walked up to the stand to buy a hot dog. "You're Michael Davinson?" , I asked with my back towards him. "Yes , and you are ?", as he tried to see who I was. "Somebody you want to know , let's talk ". I gripped his arm and tried to walk with him to his car but he sucker punched me in the nose , "I'd rather not". He drove off. I cleaned my nose , it was nothing. I put a gun to the driver of a Chevy Cruze head and told him to get out. I hit him with the butt of my gun and knocked him out. I drove off.
- I went to where Michael stayed. When he got out his car , I walked up on him. "Remember me Michael ?". He squinted at me then pulled his gun , "I don't know who you are , or what you want , but leave or else I'll be forced to shoot." "Relax , I'm not here for the gun play", I said as I flashed my gun , "I'm just here to talk". "What does this matter concern of ?" , he asked taking off his glasses. "You're daughter , Jamie Foster , you know , the one you don't claim but still send money to , my girlfriend , well now my baby mother." He cut me off , "she's pregnant , come inside". After explaining everything to him about what happened , we agreed we'd stay in contact but low key. He'd stop helping Micks and I'd work on the rest of my scheme.
- As far as criminals go , there's no place better for criminals to hide then Philly. Cops don't come to the hood unless they have to. It was once said by a wise man that hiding is nothing being in plain sight. I don't know who I got that from but it was something someone told a long time ago. I made a stop at one of the oldest of the old heads in my neighborhood , Mr Jester. He knew everybody , who was related , who lives where , he was basically the library of the hood. He had all the facts. I stepped onto his porch , " what's popping Mr Jester " . " You got a lot of nerve coming around here after all that mess your in " , he said looking at me. " I came because I need some information " , I said sitting on his rail. " And what might that be ". " I need to know who Officer Rhodes blackmails. " , I said with a straight face. " You planning something youngin ? " . " Indeed , and it's going to take everything I got to pull it off ". He sat there for a moments until he finally told me something. " Go to your dad " . My pops ? I haven't seen him in 6 years. Last conversation we had ended with me saying I hate him. It's tough for a 10 year old kid who was promised a father then him leaving you and your mom. " Where he at ?" . " I'll tell him to come to you " , he said looking off into the street as if that's all he had to say.
- I couldn't get the thought that Rhodes was bribing my pops . What did he do ? What did he have ? And how the fuck is my pops a criminal ? Questions needed answers. I came home to Jamie cooking. Smelled delicious , it was Home made Vegetable Lasagna with Gralic Bread and sweet potato pie. " Well what do we have here " , I asked as I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. She fanned me of and told me to wash my hands before eating. After a scrumptious meal , I walked into the back room to pick up the phone call. It was pops , "I heard you were looking for me" ? "I'm not gone talk on the phone about it , where you want to meet", I asked . "I'll come meet you", he said then hung up.
- The next day I ended up sleeping in with Jamie. That is until this bitch Brionna knocked on my door. I already had my gun in my shorts so I wasn't stressing anything but just in case I held my hand on it. I stepped out on the porch to talk to her. "Wassup" , I said keeping all my focus on her to make sure she ain't try nothing. "You can take your hand off your piece now , I know you packing " , she said patting her head. "Nah , I'll decide that", I said still holding it. "Alright". It got awkwardly silent and I for one ain't have time for the bullshit. "Why you come here ? Ain't you and Madison supposed to be plotting some shit." "Nah , I came to hear to warn you , Jamie ain't who you think she is , she's manipulative. I know from experience." , she said looking into the street . "What you trying to say?". "You really think I'd come to your house and start shit for no reason? She told me to act wild to see what you'd do.", she said looking at me. "Wait , hold up , come again". "How you think the cops got here so quick ? How you think I knew when to open the door at the exact moment you werent paying us any attention? Connect the dots smart guy", she said waving her finger in the air. "So all this shit was set up ? She's pregnant . And setting me up ?" , I asked. " She ain't pregnant , has shown any proof besides her words ? It was all a plan from the beginning , once we got to the jail she sold me out like I was some crazy ass jawn". "Who else had a part in it ?" , I asked. "Malik". I got up and slapped her "shut your fucking mouth , don't say a damn thing about him". She got up and spit on the side walk , "it was planned from the go , that's why I came and we went to your guest room , waiting to act dramatic and for the cops to come and fuck with you".
- To tell the truth I've heard of your worst enemies being your best friends but I never experienced it. She showed the messages , in dead print it showed him planning to set it up. Damn. My own mans. I got her number and told her to meet me at a park about 5 blocks from here in an hour. I walked back in and went upstairs. Jamie was still sleep , I was disgusted with her. I left her a note saying I was going to be out and about today so don't wait up. I caught the bus to an shut down store across the street from the park. I walked across the street and around the park a couple times before I seen Brionna. I sat next to her but on the opposite side of the bench with headphones in. I was talking to her but I had my headphones in to make it seem like I was singing a song from my phone. "You came up with anything to prove she's pregnant", she asked. "Nah , she was sleep , I'll get it later , let me ask you this though , how did the cops get to my crib so fast ?" "She called them ahead of time. They were only around the block waiting on the signal , which was me yelling and the street getting crowded." , she said while sipping her soda from McDonalds. "Alright, I'd like to keep this chat short , so I'll catch up with you later , hit my line.", I said as I got up fixing my hat and jogged off.
- I walked a couple more blocks down to another park. I figured it was far enough from anybody who had it out for me. It was the old park my pops used to take me to. When I sat on the bench , another guy sat right behind. " As salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu " , he said from behind. " Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu " , I replied. "So how you been , and don't look around , just look straight ahead", the voice said. "I've been good , how you ?" , I asked. "You ain't gotta lie to me. The streets talk.", said the voice as the person stretched back and slid something down the inside of my jacket. "Keep that phone by you at all times. I'll call soon , Insha Allah , love you son. " , he disappeared. I noticed because I didn't feel his presence anymore , just as I turned my head to the sky he vanished.
