SANTIAGO 2

18 | Corey's POV

Corey had been staying in the Brookhaven home since he picked up the twins and Cj. Lucy hadn't came and picked them up but Corey didn't mind. His kids were his lights in a dark world. His whole mood changed when he was in their presence.

Corey was making the kids a snack when the door bell rung. He quickly took the chicken fingers and fries out the oven before answering the door. "Fuck." He whispered as he looked through the peephole.

"Corey, opened the door I know you see me." Starr yelled, she frantically rung the door bell waking the kids up from their nap.

"Daddy, who's at the door?" Capri asked as she wiped the sleep out her eyes with one hand, holding her teddy bear with the other.

"No one, sweetie. Go back upstairs." Corey waited until Capri was out of sight before answering the door.

He quickly swung open the door, "What the fuck do you want?" Corey hissed as he snatched Starr inside.

"Where's my cousin, Corey? Hm?" She asked as she folded her arms.

"I don't know where Keisha at.. her ass been MIA for months. Like she don't got a damn son to take care." Corey exhaled letting go of her arm.

"Well when you find her, tell her I need my money. 30 Gs." Starr bit her bottom lip when she saw Corey clinch his jaw.

She then stepped her boundaries by feeling on Corey's chest before he slapped her hand away.

"You know.. it must be hard not having anyone to pound your frustrations into anymore.. I can help with that." Starr licked her lips as she got on her knees.

"Yo, What the fuck you doing?" He sneered pushing her away from him, shaking his head.

Starr sucked her teeth, "I'm trying to help yo ass, I mean why not? Huh? My cousin ain't here and Word on the street is Lucy got a new nigga. So what the fuck is the problem?"

Corey couldn't help but laugh," Starr, get out my house before Lucy find out and serve yo ass on a platter."

"You'll have first dipps, right baby?" Starr winked.

"Goodbye Starr." Corey shook his head before pushing her to the other side of the door. Corey didn't know it yet, but he was going to be seeing Starr a lot more often.

After Corey fed the kids, he had Ms. Maria come over and watch them while he went to check his Georgia business out. Black called him and advised him to assemble. Corey did so and headed out. Once he got to the old paper mill he noticed a lot of cars there. He parked his car, making sure he was strapped before walking in.

"What, Yall having a party without me?" He asked making his presence known. His worker greeted him with smiles, dapping him out before getting straight to business.

"So I was told to assemble a meeting, why?" Corey asked putting his hands in the pockets of his Armani slacks. Corey raised his eyebrow, "Yall can't speak now?" He added.

Chris, the head of sales in Georgia spoke up, "Business is getting slow, and we got some new niggas on the block selling some weird shit." He said handing Corey a small bag with a symbol on it. "This shit is more priced than our March and it still sells out every day... if we wanna keep making money we need to get our hand on this."

"Or they need to get the fuck off My turf." Corey didn't mind other people making money, as long as it wasn't in his space. He observed the small package with the bird symbol on it before putting it in his pocket. "Keep those niggas off my blocks." Corey proclaimed before walking out. He needed to know everything about this new drug, so he began to do research.

When Corey got back home he called for the kids but no one answered he quickly drew his gun calling for them once more.
"Corey, this is Maria. I just know you got your gun out and the safety off." Maria called from upstairs.

"So why you talking from up there... you good?" Corey asked walking closer.

"Boy I'm fine. I just know you shoot first and ask questions later. Lucy came to pick the kids up." Maria chuckled as she came from downstairs with the laundry basket.

"So where's Keith?" He asked putting his gun back on safety and in his back holster.

"She took him too. She said they were going out for ice cream." Corey quickly pulled out his phone dialing Lucy's number but it went straight to voicemail. He didn't want to think Lucy would actually hurt Keith just because how he was conceived, Lucy wasn't that type of person. But just to be sure he went out looking for them anyways. Besides, he had a few things to get off his chest.
