Teach me

Chapter 20

Bryan Williams

I went back to my old hood and ain't shit changed. Literally nothin, same niggas , still doin the same shit but lookin at me like I owe em' somethin.

" wassam witcha baby , I'm surprise you outchea , you know you hangin round them rich people na. Too good ta hang witcha old hood. " my old friend said Dominic said dappin me off

Me & him use ta be real close back back ina G before I moved away from New Orleans. We use to run the whole uptown shit I still do from distance , I left & everything went to hell. My people started beefin next thang you know people droppin like flies , right round tha time I moved lexis from outchea'

" how ma la' niece doin " he says handin me a red cup

"she alright , had ta ship off to Atlanta , I think he back " I said  taking a sip from ma cup

" who ,? I know you not talkin bout...." He scrunched up his face & raised his eye brow

" yep, my hunch is that he he had dis dude she use to date doin his dirty work , but I got a letter recently sayin " You can do whatever you want , Ima still make you pay." It's only one person in this world who gon be bold enough to send that shit to me. His lil games been going on for a la minute na. But I'm sick of it , almost killed me niece and now I have to cancel shows and other shit to deal wit dis. " I said throwing my head back sealing the last of the henney

" so you came down hea to make a personal visit. You know I got a couple niggas that got a issue with his ass to , so we all goin wit you " he pulled out his phone but I lowered it shaking my head

" nah man , this between me & him . Let me handle this , then I'll call y'all crazy asses in so y'all can do you , "

" well that's my niece , I watched that lil girl grow up , we all did . So you know I gotta tag his ass one good time "

I shook my head , all I could do was laugh at his crazy ass cause he was right . In my hood , most of the uptown was all family , we looked out for each otha , raised each otha's kids and all. So I can't expect nothing less from him

" I guess man, call whoever you want to , just make quick . I got shit to do " I through my trash away & made my way ta my car. He came toward my car talkin in tha phone but got off it once he got in tha car

" let's go nigga, my men on da way , you strapped ,?"

I gave him a crazy ass look for even askin me dat dumbass question. I pulled out my glock and sat it in the seats behind me

" I fa got who I was talking to " he said laughing and dappin me off

" I see , that's a damn shame after all these years , he still hang around da same area." I said

" I kno but fuck it's just easier for us to find his ass and handle him " Dominic said

" oh I was gunna find him , trust me "

****
We pulled up to dis old abandoned plant nursery that use to be the place where I grew, packed and sold all of ma stuff. I relocated & this nigga still stayed in the same years later. The only cars I saw was the one that people came in.

" you ready ,? " he said putting his hood on

I grabbed my gun & loaded a few bullets & cocked it back  " been ready "

We walked in toward the door and two dudes came from out of no where damn near bum rushing us , we pulled our guns out before they got a chance to

" I'm here ta see your bitch ass boss, he been sendin fa me , I'm hea " I said talking to this slim young lookin dude. He couldn't be no more than 25 damn shame dude was still pullin dudes ina game that young

" can't do that pimpin , boss said don't let no body in " he looked me up and down " and you don't seem too important, so I can't do that "

I looked at him long and hard , then it hit me . Dude can't be from round here . I would know him

" whea you from boy ,? "

" why ,? Ain't nun ya business anyway" he said

" yeah you definitely not from hea , i woulda  recognize ya. Na eitha you let me in peacefully , or I put one through yo skull . Pick ya poison la homie " I said aiming my gun at him . He looked at the dude next to him , & then at the gun

" go head man , I'm trying to lose my life today" he stepped to the side & started to walk off

" you Bryan right ,? "

I nodded my head

" get to your niece before he do . End this shit cause he out for blood . Literally,, & watch the ones close to you " he said and then walked off

The other dude was just standing there looking at me and D

" problem potnah ,? "

" nah man , I been feelin the same way he has . This not me , I just didn't wanna say nothin. & I needed the money " 

" what you got yo self in some kinda legal trouble or somethin "

" yea , i caught a charge couple years ago for breaking and entering, I was just trying to get some money for my daughter , that's all man . House was owned by some white folks and , they let me out on bond but I gotta come up with about 3 stacks so I don't gotta worry about 50 no more " he said . He leaned up up against  the wall with a defeated look on his face. I handed my gun to Dominic and pulled about 4 bands out my pocket and gave it him

"....man...I ca-....I cant bruh " he said choking

" look  , I started slag in when I was about to age , only cause I wanted to . My mama busted ha ass to make sho' me and people was straight. You trying to do somethin right , and I see you don't want do this . So take it , get yo shit straight , I don't wanna see you in these streets no more , and I will know trust me " I took my gun back and signaled for D to follow me Ina building

" thank you Man for real " he said and walked away

" that was a good thing you did B , " Dominic said as we searched and cleared the rooms

The further we go into the building I could smell weed and heard music coming from one of the rooms , I got closer and closer until I found the room. I got on one side of the door & Dom got the other side. The door was creeked a lip bit I could hear what the nigga was saying

" aight coo, just don't make no moves until I say so, lay low . I gotta get in touch with that lil nigga Justin . Cause I still need his shit , but what I might have y'all do is play some mind tricks with them. Eitha one of y'all heard from tyriel  ,?" I heard him say

" what the hell,? Yo is this nigga serious right now ,? "

" dawg I don't know , but I'm not letting this no mo than he's already done " I pushed the door open more and pointed my gun and walked in

" ah Bryan , long time no see my nigga "
