Angel In Disguise

Chapter 13 (Myshon)

after leaving the hospital, i went home to take a quick shower before going to this meeting. it was already 3:32 so i had a little time before 4. pulling up into the driveway, i noticed my Grandma Rose's car was there. i was surprised because for 1, it was Sunday. she always stayed at that church of hers till at least 5. unlocking the door and walking into the house, i went straight to my room to shower. pulling out a pair of boxers,blue and white Adidas sweats wit an all white t-shirt and a pair of socks, i was preparing to go into my bathroom when i saw my grandma poke her head in my door.
" hey sweetie," she said in her soft, old voice.
" hey grammy...why you not at the church?"
" oh, i stayed at home today. i couldn't really sleep last night after my grandson just left home in the middle of the night and thought enough of me to just leave a note," she stated, smiling after she was done.
" i'm sorry grandma, i went out to get something to eat then something came up. i shoulda called you."
" it's alright 'Shon just let me know if some is wrong okay ? 'shoot me a text' like the young kids say," she exclaimed while walking back to her room.
my grandma was something serious. 64 years old and still gets around like she's 40. i walked into my bathroom and stepped in the shower turning the water on so that it was extra hot. i just stood there until my skin felt like a prune and the shower was too hot to bear. turning off the water, i stepped out and wiped the fogged mirror. my greenish eyes looked a little baggy lately. shit really had been stressful. i grabbed my towel, dried off, and greased my body up. i threw on my clothes and shoes, brushed my teeth and walked out of my room to my car. it was now 4:03 and according to Ghost i was late. the fat mf was gone be aight. long as i was there before it ended, it was okay. at least to me it was anyways. i pulled up to where the meeting was being held. from the outside looking in, it looked like an office where square ass niggas had meetings and shit. the only thing was that we weren't squares, tried to play us like we were and you would be dead. no discussions, just death. walking in, i heard the murmur of conversations being held throughout the room. as i sat down next to Dakota, it was as if all voices ceased. Black, Ghost's bodyguard, knocked on a door and out walked Ghost.
" nice of you to join us Myshon. i guess you were too busy for us to be on time," he said snidely to me as he sat down at the head of the table.
i gave him a look like 'please, not today'. he chuckled and carried on.
" anyways, i called this meeting today and i want to know one simple thing: answers. either somebody hit the Dominicans before we did by chance or their is a snake within our organization who wants to do their own thing," he said looking at me. my jaw clenched in annoyance because i wanted this mf dead. Haden, one of the head people, spoke out first.
" i highly doubt it's somebody from the inside who wanna take over. we got it made wit how shit going on now. only a fool would do some shit like that," he said proudly.
" you right about that", Ghost began, " but young niggas wanna eat. i was a youngster myself once and i wanted everything the Boss had. money, bitches, clothes. you name it, i wanted it. but there was one thing he had that i was wiling to do any and everything to get," he said, pausing for more effect. "POWER! i wanted the power that came with being the head huncho of the operations. telling mfs wat they can and cannot do. so i did the only thing i knew to do: i killed him. walked in his house, went upstairs to his room, poured gas everywhere while he slept, lit a match and walked back out. i heard him and his wife screaming, trying to get out but i ain't care because a few people always have to get hurt in order for you get wat you want in life. anyway, if y'all hear or know some come to me personally and let me know. in the meantime, let's get down to business!", he exclaimed while clapping his hands.
the rest of the meeting went on as usual. we talked about possible candidates we could hit up for they shit. how sales were going and how the cash was flowing. what we needed to stock up on and what we didn't. the meeting was concluded at 8:34 wit Ghost asking Dakota to stay back for a while. i was curious as to why seeing as if i was the leader of our lil group.
" wats that all about ?", i asked Dakota before he went into Ghost's office.
" nigga, idk. you never know wit that mf," he chuckled.
" yeah you right man. aye look ima holla at you tomorrow before first period aight ?", i asked, dapping him up.
"fa'sho, i gotcha," he said as he walked off.
walking out to my car, i thought about was it too late to go see Storm. i ain't have her number so i couldn't call. damn, i'll just have to wait till tomorrow since it was a lil late. if she came to school, she was fine. but if not, i'd have to see her. yeah, that would work....

Dakota's POV.
Ghost or Uncle G, as i called him when we weren't around the others, asked me stay after the meeting and i knew why but ofc i couldn't tell 'Shon why. ever since i was 13, Uncle G took me under his wings and trained me up as his own. from the moment me and 'Shon became friends, i was only there to keep an eye out for him when Ghost wasn't around. Uncle G said 'Shon's parents were good friends of his but they had to be eliminated. he said they took something from him that no man should ever have taken from them and i believed him. i really had no other choice. Uncle G was a scary man and i knew wat he was capable of so i wouldn't dare think of crossing him.
"you wanted something, Uncle G?", i asked poking my head into his office.
"yeah come sit down for a minute", Ghost said. he lit a cigar and leaned back in his chair while staring at me.
"tell me something good Dakota", he said never breaking his stare. I already knew this was coming.
"Myshon the one who hit up the Dominicans" I said.
Uncle G sat up in his seat and laughed. it wasn't a laugh of humor it was a meanacing laugh.
"i figured it was that lil nigga then he had the audacity to lie to me, ME, the mf head nigga in charge" Uncle G said, putting out his cigar.
see I know some of you are wondering why I'm doing what I'm doing but it's simple. I was never supposed to actually care about 'Shon but over the years I did. He was like my brother it's like we had some type of connection. don't get me wrong everyone in our crew was close, but me and 'Shon were the closest. i befriended him to spy on him for Uncle G. yeah i was a snake, 'Shon didn't know that Ghost knew what he was up to. he had this whole thing planned out where he was going to kill Ghost and take over, with me being right beside him. i kinda liked the idea and that's the only reason why I hadn't told Uncle G yet. that and I felt like I owed 'Shon some type of loyalty. i would have been told him about Ghost but then I would have to tell him about the part that I played in it and I wasn't ready for that yet.
