Love In The Hood: Kendrick & Alex

I need a new trap house. Some cops have been passing by my trap house a lot this week. The last thing I need is a raid. If we get caught I will lose all my money. I can't afford that.

"Boss, I need to talk to you," a worker of mine walked into my office.

"Have you ever heard of knocking?" I said as calm as possible. I was outraged but I dont want to show him.

'Sorry boss, I just need to talk to you about a raise,' he smirked.

"A what now?" I interrupted him.

"A r..ra..i..se," he said stuttering.

I just looked at him and burst out laughing hard. Talk about joke of the year. I laughed so hard and long. He then joined me and laughed too. I stopped laughing and looked at him.

"What the fuck do you think this is? An office job nigga?" I asked in anger.

"Well nuh b..bu..ut I really need it b.."

"If I ever see your nappy headed ass in my office again I will bust a cap in that ass before you say the word raise. Fuck outta here and get back to work." He just walked out.

Niggas are growing balls. Coming to my office like we are friends. I need to put some discipline in them. I will start with him.

"A raise for what?" I mumbled.

I have been thinking a lot lately. I can't be having my mother acting like some trick only because we don't have some money. The last thing I need is people talking about her or me. I need to find a way to get Riley out of my way. I aint even gon' say a word about what happened. I just don't have time for that piece of drama.

"Excuse me Alexandra, if you wanted to day dream you could have just stayed home and not come to my class." My math teacher said.

I shifted in my seat. Totally forgot where I was.

"Sorry, I am not feeling so good right now!" I said.

She just ignored me and kept teaching. The bell finally decided to ring. I am done with school. I wanna go for practice but I can't, I have a job to get to. It aint easy trying to handle two jobs and school at the same time. Not to mention my mama and her habits! She has been gone for two weeks now. I have been starving so I decided to get a job at Mama Delilah's diner. She is a nice lady and I love the job but I don't get the kind of money I need.

"Hey Mama Delilah, sorry I am late. I had to walk here."

"It's alright child. Go to the back and get ready," she smiled back at me.

I love this lady. She is a really great woman. I went to the back and got ready for work.

I came to the front to get some orders when these two guys in skii masks came in with guns.

"Y'all betta get the fuck down and stay down if you wanna get outta here breathing," The taller one yelled.
People were lying all over the floor and I was just frozen. I wanted to do as they said but for the life of me I couldn't move at all. Why is my body choosing to fail me now.

The guys were wearing all black, the skii masks could have hidden them well but I see the face of one of the guys and I know him from somewhere. He has a tattoo on his arm written"-All for the struggle-." I know him. While I was still staring at him he pulled his gun out and walked towards me.

'I meant everyone, sunshine, including you. Who the fuck do you think you are standing there like a statue?' I just looked at him, I tried to bend my knees but I couldn't.

I was just stuck there! When he got to me he pulled me towards him. My heart was beating so fast and so hard I think he might have heard it.

'Bitch when I talk I want some action.' he growled at me.

He pushed me down till I was on my knees. He walked away and got to the counter and started putting money in a duffle bag. The other guy was searching people and taking all their watches and rings. Cheap ass bitch niggas.

Mama Delilah was just looking at them taking her money and all I could do was cry. How am I gonna get paid. Call me crazy but I need the money. The guys left when they were done robbing us. It took me a minute to function. I had an idea but I am not sure it will work.

That guy. That tattoo. I have to know.

I went outside using the door at the back. Thank God Phil always brings his bike to work. I saw the car those guys were using. A black on black Chevy with tinted windows. It had no number plates though. I rode the bike fast and caught up with the car. It was two cars ahead of me. I can't exactly keep following them. I have to find shortcuts that won't get me in trouble.

If I have my facts straight they are gonna go to Almonds road. I turned the bike and got on the alley next to Dynamos. I think I know this street. I rode until I got to Almonds . I waited and waited.

Black on black Chevy down the road. Bam! I knew it. I let it pass and went after it making sure I don't get too close to them. They turned into Tarry's and pulled up in an unused factory house. I stopped and hid behind a truck I found near there. The guys got out the car. Three of them were talking out loud.

'I told you I was gonna pull it off. It was easy, plus its just a diner. Its only coz we needed the money, otherwise I could have done the bank,' one of them said.

The guy with the tattoo was just laughing. He had his mask off.

I. Know. That. Guy.

"You spying on my crew?" I heard a voice say behind me. I jumped up and turned .

'I am sorry I was ju.."

'Who sent you here?' he interrupted me.

I was about to say something when I felt a sharp pain to my head, it became all dark from there.

***

I woke up with a sharp pain to my head. "AAARGGH." I said and groggily opened my eyes.

It was all dark. I tried to move but I couldn't. I had been tied to a chair. "The Fuck?" I mumbled.
