The Get Back | 11

Ricardo smirked at me and folded his hands.

"Yes. Its coke but it's a kilo of coke Eric", he replied to me.

"I'm saying. You just pulling out coke like it's nothing man in public too?", I questioned as I looked at him with suspicion. "How much this worth?"

Ricardo paused as he stared at me for a brief second.

"Twenty-five thousand"

My eyes got bigger as if my ears were deceiving me. Something that look so simple on this table could change my life in the blink of an eye.

"Damn", I whispered before scooting closer to the table. "But I'm saying man you pulling this shit out like it's not...well you know...coke"

"Look Eric. If you're worried about someone saying something you can forget about it" he insisted. "See, this here this restaurant is family owned so I do what I want in here and no one's going to do or say shit about it", he grinned slyly before running his hand across the plastic wrapped coke.

"Now" he continued. "This isn't just any coke. This is pure and not like that garbage that's on the street that's washed with acetone and carotene. But this right here Eric is the best product and you're gonna be the only one in the street holding this" Ricardo says as he waved his finger around.

I bit down on my bottom lip before turning to look at Monae quickly. She blinked at me and flared her nostrils before smiling. I slowly head nodded, turning my attention back to Ricardo who was now pulling out a cigar from his shirt pocket.

"Twenty-five thousand fucking dollars", I said in skepticism as I scratched the side of my face.

"I tell you this Eric", Ricardo said in his thick accent. "I feel that you can get the job done so I will put you to a job yea? Tonight, I want you to meet back at this location mmm bout 10pm. There will be a white van and I want you to follow that van. From there you'll get information about what I want you to do. Okay?"

I head nodded as I looked down at my plate of scallops. This shit is crazy, I went from dealing crack to possibly be moving coke? This is some deep shit. The money I could bring in would change everything in my life, including living with my parents still.

"Coo" I non chalantly spoke as I reached out my hand to shake Ricardo's.

He firmly grasped my hand and gave a small grin. We let each other hand go and shared a small laugh.

"Now like I said earlier bout not working with your kind is because I've tried before and they were disloyal. Disloyalty gets you killed and not to be trusted. But darling Monae spoke highly of you and I take that into consideration"

I licked my lips as I grabbed my baby girl hand as she slyly grinned. Her hand was so warm and soft, placing me at ease about the situation.

"Speaking of Monae, how you guys know each other"

Ricardo glanced over at Monae before looking back at me.

"Monae...she ah used to make drops for me once upon of time" he chuckled.

Shocked, I pressed my lips together and stared at Monae who giggled a little bit. Here I am, thinking this girl lives a normal life and she's a runner. It was a perfect scheme, since when you look at her you would never think she would be the type to get her hands dirty.

"Oh word...that's interesting" I muttered as I bit down on the inside of my cheek.

"Yeah" Monae smirked. "I used to do a little something to pay my way through medical encoding school which is now why I have that position as a medical biller" she grinned widely.
