The Life We Live: Sex, Money, & Power

Same Shit Different Name

3 Months Later.

(Houston's P.O.V)

I walked into Icon & the first thing I noticed was the new employee. I looked at her & flashed a smile. I asked knowingly are you new here? She said yeah & told me she moved from L.A. because she goes to University of Memphis now & she's a freshman. I asked her name & she told me Brenda & then she said let me guess you're Houston. I said "Yeah how you know?" She told me a few of the women in the mall told her to stay away from me.

They just hating cause I don't want any of them. She laughed & asked what could she get me. I told her Robins & she started scanning the store. I grabbed her hand & pointed to where they were. I told her the black pair with the gold studs. a black & gold Ferragamo belt.

I bought my items & left. I was still wandering around the mall & I saw her at the food court. She was looking through her wallet for her card & I pulled out a 50 & told them keep the change. I sat down with her & she was just staring at me & asked what was a mixed with I told her Jamaican & Indian. I asked what was she & she told me Puerto Rican. I asked for her number & she shook her head & told me she's heard about me so no.

I laughed & got a text from Kevin asking did I want to go to a party tonight. I text back you know I'm good to go. I looked at Brenda & told her I gotta go.

I got in my Jaguar & drove home. Memories of Alice resurfaced, it had been two weeks since she was gone. I walked to the bedroom & jumped in the shower. This was a red carpet party, I put on the exclusive attire. I pulled my hair into a puffy ponytail the bitches love that. I put on my Versace boxers. a cheetah print Versace shirt with black leather sleeves, black Robins' jeans with the crystals on the back, some Christian louboutin sneakers & three gold chains.

I puled up to the club at around 11 in my Red Ferrari & I walked in I saw bad bitches everywhere. on the stage I saw Jay & Kevin on the stage. Terrance walked up right beside me. Girls were coming up to me asking to take pictures with me. I was like fuck it why not after the pictures me .& Tee went to the VIP section. He pulled out a sack when we sat down that shit was stanky.

I was sitting there with Tee talking & smoking. He had my dying laughing, I was looking around the club every few minutes looking at faces & I spotted Brenda. I sent one of the security guards to go get her & when she came she looked & said Hey. I opened the rope & let her in. She looked at me & so you balling. I smirked & said "Something like that." I asked who you riding home with she said her friends I told her to tell them, she got a new ride home & she laughed & told me nah she leaving with who she came with.

(Jay's P.O.V.)

I looked at the time it was time for us to roll out. I rounded up H, Tee, & Kev. We had a job to do. We parked two streets over from the bank. We had to make this quick we went underground while Kev stayed in the truck to tap into the security cameras & system

We were going through the tunnel & we got to the spot right under the vault we blew a whole in the floor & came in the vault threw the bottom & we grabbed cash much as possible. We replaced the hole in the floor & within 10 minutes we were gone. Me & H took the cash to one of the spots.

(Houston's P.O.V.)

I was sitting at the big table with Jacob counting the money. Then I heard a big boom, & a pounding. We put our phones in our pockets,emptied the money back into the duffle bags zipped them up, killed the lights then ran towards the back door. Of course there were people there. We shot about 10 people but it seemed they kept coming. "To the hole!" , I yelled at Jacob. Then we ran towards the bathroom because in the the closet in the bathroom was where the emergency exit door was. We were running & Jacob fell after all I heard was gunshots.

I picked him up & kept running. I threw him down the emergency shoot & popped my head back out the door & sent shots down the hallway. Then I ran back down the hallway to the bathroom cut off the light went on the closet & jumped in the emergency shoot in the closet. I slid down & when I got down there I picked Jacob up & threw him in the passenger side of the Audi. When I opened the garage door there were three men standing there with guns pointed at us. "Damn can I get a break?" I said as I pressed the gas while they shot at the car. I'm glad this car was bulletproof.

I sped down the street & dents were coming from the roof. I looked up & saw there was a chopper following us with two gunners in them. "Who the fuck are these people?", is all I could think. I couldn't exactly shoot & drive so I called Kevin & Terrance. Before I knew it that helicopter was out the sky. I sped to our private doctor & had Jacob patched up. I was leaving to go shop because shopping always makes me feel good.

I pulled up to my house it was an average 3 bedroom house, I see no point in having a big house & living by myself. I took my bulletproof vest & put on a white Tee , black Levi's jeans, & some white Air Force ones. I got in the mall & I felt at home. I walked into Icon & Brenda looked at me & asked what color Robins jeans I wanted. I asked for the bleached ones, some black ones, & asked for some Rock Revival jeans.

When I got to the register, I asked her when she going to stop playing & go ahead & get with me & she laughed like it was the funniest thing ever. Then she told me she don't have time for bullshit. I been trying to get with you for months. She said, "Looks like you going on 8." Damn you harsh on me. "As long as you know it.", she said before I left. I turned around & saw an explosion & three guys were running in my direction. What the fuck is going on?

Houston burst through the door breathing hard & told me I had to go I was ready. It was lucky I didn't get shot there were just grazes. Kevin & Terrance waiting in the hallway, we took the back door out of the hospital.

We took Kevin's truck Kevin's house & went underground. Surprisingly he was the hacker of our group even though he was 6'3 & had tattoos all over him. He pulled up the surveillance in my house. It seemed no one was there. He pulled up the cameras in Houston's house there were people everywhere.

Kevin called & a few people & it turns out there was a hit out on Houston for 2 million dollars. I looked at Houston & we both wondered who could it be. I mean we didn't know of any enemies we had & especially not any with that kind of money.

Kevin snapped us out of our thoughts & said there was a bounty worth $750,000. My heart dropped. We need to find out who the hit came from & fast. Cause we are walking dead men if we get caught slipping.

I went to the living room in Kevin's underground section & watched tv. I flipped through the channels & saw the news about the mall & Houston told me "Oh yeah the man who fled was me. The high speed car chase & helicopter blown out the sky also us."

Terrance came & asked what are we gonna do. Ain't too much we can do me & H are like a walking lottery people waiting to hit us. Kevin called us to the computer room & showed us the person who put out the hit on us. We stared at the screen in disbelief.
