Hood Love

Leavin' (15)

Jacob and Chresanto pull up to the house and got out the car. There were different cops cars and trucks sitting outside the house. Jacob and Chresanto showed the officers their fake badge and went into the house.

Jacob walks over to his safe and seen that it was already opened. Jacob looks over at Chresanto worried.

"My money isn't here bro." Jacob whispered to Chresanto.

"Guys we've been waiting for you! Take this money and go take it to the lab." One of the officers says handing Chresanto the money.

"We'll get right on it." Chresanto says turning around and walking out the door with the money.

"Hey, we need you to walk around and make sure we didn't miss anything." The officer says to Jacob.

Jacob walks into his room and grabs a black trash bag and walks over to his closet and grabbed some of his clothes. Chresanto walks in and looks at him.

"Nigga get yo' ass out of this house." Chresanto whispers.

"Alright, lets go." Jacob says as he throws the overly large bag over his shoulder.

Jacob and Chresanto walks casually out of the house and gets in the car. They drive off as another car pulls up. The men get out of the car and head inside.

"We're here to take the things to the lab." One of the officers say.

"We already sent a couple guys who's supposed to take it down there." The other one says.

"There's no other guys...it's just me and Robert tonight."

The officer looks at the two men and then gets him and his partner into the cop car to chase after Chresanto and Jacob. The officers call in for back up.

"I can't believe them stupid ass cops actually just let us walk out like that." Jacob laughed as he counted all his money to make sure it was all there.

"Yeah man now you got me paranoid. Let me stop by the apartment and get my money." Chresanto says as he pulls up to his building.

Chresanto grabs his money and gets back down to his car in less than a minute. Chresanto hurries and pulls out of the parking lot and speeds on the road.

"Damn, why the fuck are you speedin'? Jacob says scrunching his eyes.

"Them niggas work fast! They got our car on the news and shit." Chresanto says.

"So what the fuck are we gonna do?" Jacob asked.

"We're gonna ditch this car as soon as we get close enough to Tracy's apartment." Chresanto says taking a sharp turn.

Chresanto and Jacob makes it 10 blocks away from Tracy's house. Chresanto parks his car in some random person driveway. Jacob and Chresanto walk the rest of the way and once they make it inside they plop down on the couch.

"Did you get your money?" Mariah asked looking at Jacob.

"Yeah, along with some cops on our back." Jacob sighed.

"I knew it was a bad idea." Tracy says shaking her head. "I mean they're already searching your house. If they come and get the car their gonna have your finger prints."

"They can't come get us if we move to another area." Chresanto says.

"Hell no! I'm not about to move out of my apartment! I have school Chresanto!" Tracy snaps.

"You dont have to move, but Jacob and I do." Chresanto says.

"Fuck! All this shit could've been avoided if it wasn't for them damn crack heads!" Jacob yelled.

"Where are you thinkin' about moving to?" Mariah asks.

"Possibly somewhere far from here." Chresanto says.

"How come this shit ain't nothing like it is in the books. The girl finds a drug dealer, he drops all his hoes for her, he stops selling drugs and finishes school, she gets pregnant, he's happy and they start a family." Mariah says. "I date a drug dealer and he's being chased by the cops."

"So, what? Y'all are just gonna pack y'all stuff and leave?" Tracy asks.

"It's only for a few months my queen." Chresanto responds. "You can stay here and stay in school and I will be back after the cops get off our back."

"Mariah?" Jacob says waiting for decision.

"I'm gonna stay here and Keep Tracy company. How long are y'all gonna be gone?" Mariah asks.

"3 months at the most." Jacob says.

"3 months...." Tracy says under her breath.
