Chapter Eleven

"Okay.. so you came way over here to tell us that?" I said after awhile.

"No. I came over here to tell you that I want in." He said.

"What?" I yelled.

"I know you guys are planning a revenge. When I saw the house I knew what was up?"

"How do you know Omar did it and that we're after him?" Stacy asked.

"Because.. he's after me too. Thats why Im staying with moms."

"Bruh.. youre a cop. What are you running for? He wont touch you." Rico informed.

"Im not a cop anymore. I got fired and I think Omar had something to do with it."

"Oh yea partna, that badge was the only thing saving yo ass. Now that you aint got it.. they finna get in that ass!" Rico said.

"Wait, isnt he locked up?" Lauren asked.

"No. They released him. He knows how to work the people in that office. Hell you might as well say they work for him. Thats why I can be an advantage to you."

"But there is one thing." Evan said.

"What?" He asked turning his attention to him.

"We dont trust you." He responded not beating around the bush.

"And I can understand that."

"Look Cedric, after that shit you pulled in the warehouse .. nobody would trust you. Once a snake always a snake. You bit us one time but you wont get a chance to do it again." Lauren said.

"Damn skippy. " Evan agreed.

"I dont have any tricks up my sleeves. I dont have any back up. I dont have nothing. Its just me and only me. Nobodys on my side anymore. Omar has talked them against me by telling them what he can do for them. I have no plan. Thats why I came to you. I can prove my loyalty to you. Whatever it takes. I just want Omar's head. Thats what I wanted to talk to you about when you left the house. I wanted to see if anything had happened to yall. Just give me a chance. Together we can take Omar and Dro down."

Lauren, Evan, Rico and I looked at each other.

"Look, we hear what you're saying but we still dont trust ya ass .. but I tell you what.. give us a few days to think about it." Evan said.

"Alright.. Alright." He responded as he nodded. "I'll take that over a flat out no."

"We'll be in touch." He said as he watched him walk out the door. Lauren peaked through the curtains to watch him back out and drive down the street.

The room fell silent.

"I cant believe you gonna do dirt with that nigga." I said in a low tone directing my voice to Evan.

"Look we all know Cedric is full of shit. Hell I dont trust the nigga but we might can use him."

I was silent.

"Listen. This mutherfucker is on everybody's bad side. Ours, Dro's, OG and all those mutherfuckers who work for them." I explained. "He's lucky if he even gets a chance to get close to OG and Dro. So why not get what we can out of him before the mutherfucker gets his brains blown out."

"True. Plus you cant help but understand the reason behind his actions. I mean who wouldnt want revenge on the person who killed your blood." Lauren said.

"True. I'd be the same way if somebody fucked with my peeps." Rico agreed.

"So yall just gone let this mutherfucker in because yall feel bad about what happened to his sister?"

"So you saying if I died today, you wouldnt go after the suckers who killed me?" Evan asked me.

"Of course I would.".

"Aight then."

"But what Im saying is.. if we let this nigga in on this shit, we show him our location, we show him the illegal guns that moms left for us, we let him in on all the shit we planning, like every little setup from start to finish.. and we actually end up with these mutherfuckers in the palm of our hands.. whats stopping Cedric from ratting us out? huh? I mean how do we know that after all is said and done, Cedric wont try and turn us in for murdering those two brothers? Its not going to take an Eienstein to know that once they find out that Dro and OG are dead, the two most nortorious mutherfuckers in this city, they are going to be looking for their killers. Feds and shit gone be sneaking around here like they did at that damn warehouse." I explained.

"Stacy's right, dude might fold under pressure and give it all way. Next thing you know we behind bars for the rest of our lives." Rico agreed.

Evan thought about what I was laying out to him.

"She does have a point Evan." Lauren said.

"We just gone have to lay down the law with him."

"So we gotta threaten him to be silent? See this the shit Im talking about!" I yelled.

"Or we can just make sure that Cedric kills Omar. He's not gonna turn his self in." Lauren suggested.

"Its still too risky." Rico responded.

"How so?"

"We're giving him all the amo. The guns, the plan. For all we know he still can turn this whole thing around on us."

"We're just gonna have to take a chance."Evan said.

"What? Naw Evan. Im not doing that."

"Yeah. me either." Lauren agreed.

"Im with the girls on this one man."

Evan came and sat down in the chair to get closer to us.

"We gotta take a chance. I know its risky man but its our only way. What we need to do is have an alibi. We need to plan something so that if and when he trys to turn it all on us. We'll have proof that we were never there and we didnt have any parts of that shit. So in the end.. it'll only be him and we'll been done turned the tables without him knowing." I explained to them.

The room was silent as we gave the plan a thought.
