A Hustler's Pride

Part 16

Hova grabbed Giselle and they were able to get themselves home. About ten minutes later Hova's team came back wit news on who was resposible. "Matthew? That motherf'ckin nigga did that shit! Why?"

"We don't know," Black said dustin off his gun.

"Okay well then let the f-ckin games begin." Giselle was listenin from the bedroom and her heart began to race. Hova went in to check on her. "Baby u ahight?"

"Yeah baby what's goin on?"

"I gotta go handle somethin right quick. Some business."

"What business? What u talkin about?"

"Look G I found out who did it and I need to go and handle my business."

"No u don't! I want u to stay with me baby. I'm gettin scared at all this shit that's happenin." Hova sat wit her on the bed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Baby everythin is gonna be fine. But I need to go and set some folks straight. I need to let people know not to f'ck wit me."

"So u gonna do that by gettin urself hurt and possibly killed?"

"I ain't finna-"

"How do u know Corey? I ain't tryin to raise ur baby by myself. I want u to stay here. Tell Black and them to go and handle that shit for u."

"I can't."

"Why? U wanna be seen or somethin?"

"No but I wanna let them kno I'll put they ass to sleep myself. I'on need nobody handlin MY business witout me."

"U soundin stupid. That's what. U not goin," she said gettin up and goin to the bathroom.

"How u gone sit here and tell me what I ain't finna do?"

"Cause I'm carryin our baby and I say so."

"Giselle, I'ma be right back."

"I sware if u walk out that door, I'll go home."

"WHAT! U are home. UR LAME ASS POPS DID THIS SHIT!" She looked at him confused.

"My daddy wouldn't do that shit."

"U really f'ckin think so?"

"Yeah."

"Now u soundin stupid. Lay down and I'ma be right back Giselle. Don't f'ckin leave this house."

"How u gone tell ME what to do?"

"Stop f'ckin playin wit me Giselle. STOP! I hafta go and handle this shit. I'ma be right back."

"Fine HOVA go and handle that street shit over bein here for ur f'ckin family,"she said slammin the bathroom door. Hova shook his head and headed out the door with his crew.

The guys ended up at Matthew's house and they saw some cars outside. No security was around seemed like and the gate was open so they all separated and surrounded the house. Hova took West and they headed to the back door. Sillouhettes of people inside the house were showin thru the windows. A shot rang out and Hova looked at West who shook his head. "U know who that is don't cha," West said cockin his gun.

"Yeah. WTF is Black ass doin? I knew I should've told him to come with me." More shots rang out and West kicked the back door down and they all went in. Hova and him separated and they got into a shoot out with MAtthew's team. Someone was runnin up the steps and Hova knew that it was Matthew bein a coward. Hova shot at two guards while tryin to get up to Matthew. On his way up the steps, he saw blood on the carpet. He made sure that he was extra careful. He acted like a cop holdin his gun out and hidin behind walls. He walked into Matthew's master bedroom to see that a window was open. He ran over to it and saw Matthew fallin down to the ground. He shot at him but missed because Matthew was dodgin bullets left and right. Hova watched him get into a black escalade. When Hova turned around to chase him Michelle stood in front of him wit a gun.

"Drop it!" He looked at her and couldn't believe what she was doin. "I said drop ur motherf'ckin gun NOW!!" She wa bleedin and it looked like she had gotten shot.

"Michelle it's me."

"I know it's u Hova. I want u to walk out of here now and don't ever come back."

"Michelle-"

"NO! Leave right now! Don't u f'ckin-"

"NO WEST!!!" West began to shoot at Michelle leavin four bullets to rip her chest open. She fell to the ground droppin the .38 she had. "West WTF!!"

"What she was finna shoot yo ass man."

"We gotta get outta here dude. ya'll dudes is forgettin the f'ckin purpose of this." Just as they was about to leave Black came into the room.

"WTF happened!"

"Let's go," Hova said pushin West out the door runnin.

"Hold up," Black said takin the necklace off Michelle's neck. "My kids can eat wit this shit. Ain't no tellin how much this worth after I get it cleaned up."

Inside the car as Hova stared out the window, everyone sat in silence. They knew that Hova was on the edge of bussin a cap in they asses. The rest of the crew was back at the house cleanin fingerprints and things up from the police. They were really just goin to burn the house down. "Ya'll motherf'ckas ain't got no got damn sense. I sware to God ya'll really don't."

"Hov-"

"Man don't nobody say shit to me. I'm so f'ckin fired up right now that i can't even see straight." They rode around lookin for Matthew's escalade. They rode around for about and hour or so. "U know what just take me back to my crib." West did as he was told an Hova told them to lay low for tomorrow. "Don't even come out ya house for nothin. Stay in until I call ya'll at one tomorrow afternoon and Black give me that necklace."

"Nah man. Peanut at the pawnshop on second be givin out dough for shit like this."

"Give me the necklace."

"Hov, come on dude. My kids gotta eat. U know I got five kids."

"GIVE ME THE F'CKIN NECKLACE NIGGA!!!"

"Daaaammnnn, ahight dude," he said slowly handin Hova the necklace.

"Drive cautious out here man," Hova said before he got onto the curb to go inside his apartment to his pregnant girl.

When he got inside Giselle was already standin there with tears on her face. As soon as she saw him she jumped up. "WTF did u do Corey!" She said pointin to the tv where the news was on. The had firetrucks and ambulances there at Matthew's crib. The house was blazin to the sky and the water the trucks was usin was not workin. Hova froze in place not believin what he saw. He knew that his crew had used somethin else besides gas to keep that fire goin like that.
