J.Velvet"Know some young niggas like to swang
Know some young niggas like to swang
Big bank take a little bank
Everyday spillin' up drank
She want the whole crew, shawty brave
When the money talks, what is there to say?
Blow away, watch it blow away
When I die can't take it to the grave" the music played from rap duo Rae Sremmurd smash hit in the private ballroom of the W hotel. Passion brought the venue for the night to throw an extravaganza for the city's most notorious and powerful men, every drug dealer from the two bit street hustlers to the big weight moving Gorillas were in the room. A personal friend and DJ, DJ Nfamous provided the music while stripper poles were brought in the lights dimmed and a horde of dancers from Club Sweets in attendance to provide the men with visual pleasure.
It didn't take much convincing to get the girls to come Passion was their close friend and they jumped at the sight of money being made due to them being out of work from the club being destroyed. Passion was past the dancing phase in her life, she was taking the manager/partner thing very seriously and intended to make club Sweets better than ever and these men were going to help her. More than half the men in the room got their distribution from Will who was currently laying low due to the attempted murder and beef with the Colombo crime family. Everyone was losing money and couldn't afford to stay out of business for long due to losing their clients to the Cartel and other rival gangs but Passion had a plan.
Some were promised drugs from Wills brother Henry but his word didn't mean much due to Will being under so much heat but Passion was looking for investment partners to find the reconstruction of the club. The deal wouldn't put drugs in their hands but provide a income from the dancers which proved lucrative also invited new clients to come in the area that could mean more connects possibly being introduced.
"A toast to a new beginning" Passion said raising her glass of expensive champagne taking a sip. The others followed suit raising their glasses, one person in attendance was Ghost. He stayed in the corner hugged up with a female with a gray hoodie on, he swore ordinary street clothes which was his style not attracting attention to himself. Since Passion hired him to orchestrate a hit on Will and his enemies he kept a close eye on his current client making sure no one tried to take her out. Many of the men in the room didn't even noticed they hired him for hits. He didn't want to be popular njst powerful and rich, his reputation exceeded everyone in the room.
"Since you all came I'm guessing you like what you heard about joining me as becoming part of the board that will help run the new and improved club. Now it may sound like this doesn't solve any problems for you but trust rebuilding the club means more money coming in and as many of you already being regulars at the old club you know Wills spot was a money maker. One person who is willing to invest is Devon Woods"
The sound of his name had everyone's attention one person was Silk a former pimp turned loan shark and Coke dealer.
"You mean to tell me the former king of the streets who just did ten years in prison and disappeared is willing to invest"
"Yes silk and not just that he's willing to bring his friends along and you know what that means, now he doesn't smuggle drugs anymore but his men do and I think they will have enough to supply the city to keep their noses open all year. So who's in"
The men all raised their hand, hearing a legendary kingpin being involved in the renovation was the answer to their problems.
Before Passion could utter another word loud clapping was heard from the door, she looked over to Henry standing there in an all white suit with a gold dragon cane.
"Who the fuck are you" she said eying him up and down as he walked over to her.
"Sorry to interrupt but alot of you haven't met me but you do know my brother who happens to own this club you think about taking over, my name is Henry, I'm just checking in and I like what I hear we need to get club Sweets up and running.
Passion stood there grilling him as he grabbed the Mic from the stand and walked around the room.
"Now you want to make a board take this from a private club to a nationwide business, make it the Vegas of strip clubs right but what you really want is this"
Henry pointed over to the door at a female who walked in holding a silver suitcase. The men stood up looking at her as she walked in her seven inch red velvet heels and the swing of her large ass. She wore nothing but short red booty shorts which hardly covered her rump and no bra which showed her pierced heart shape areolas.
"Come here baby" Henry said opening the suitcase pulling out a small bag shaking it in the air showing his fresh snow white coke that sparkled, he placed it back in the suit case pulling out another bag showing Molly which made most of the men get out their seats.
"Yeah I got you're attention now, I know you were wondering if Will was going to deliver and I'm here as proof to tell you yes. Now I'm not saying don't invest in the club but I know you really want this in my hands. I have enough for everyone and I promise I can have another shipment in within the next two weeks big enough to last for a month"
Henry said enough to get the men's attention one of them was Ace who raised his glass being a believer now after he left the lounge from the Prize fiasco. Henry tossed the product on the table as the men examined it and passed it around like hot potato. One who didn't participate was Passion who was infuriated storming towards Henry grabbing the Microphone.
"Who the hell do you think you are"
"Well I'm sorry boo, I'm Henry" he said reaching in for a hug but paused once Passion pulled out a small pistol from her clutch.
"I'm not your fucking boo"
"Okay I'm sorry" he said chuckling.
"I came up here to help my brother during his time of need"
"What need, he wasn't the one injured he should been though"
"Well he lost money and I'm here to help"
"I was already on it"
"So you must be Passion. Will wasn't lying you are fine"
"I know that and"
"And my brother won't be around for a while at least working on this so he figured I could lend a helping hand see I even brought treats" he says walking towards his drugs being passed around.
"I was already working on that" Passion said with a stern voice.
Her bitch face was frightening but it turned Henry on.
Little did she know he was just as crazy as she was.
"I Know you're partner and im not trying to take your place just think of me as support"
"And why would I need that"
"Everyone could use a little help every now and then"
"Not me"
"Well allow me to help you to dinner tonight"
"I'm not hungry"
"Okay how about a drink"
"I don't drink"
"C'mon you're holding a bottle of Champagne"
Passion tosses the bottle to the floor cracking it.
"I just quit"
"Okay, you're feisty, I like that bit trust you'll be seeing more of me boo trust"
Henry whistles at the young lady with the suitcase walking back towards the door of the ballroom. Passion kept her eyes on him as if she was trying to burn a hole in his head. Ghost walks through the crowd with two females under his arm I'm each side whispering in her ear.
"Don't worry about that, I got news on that thang"
He immediately drew Passions attention off of Henry.
"Okay text me" she said to Ghost as he left out the ballroom.
Since Will was obviously making moves without her it was time to finish what she started first kill the shooters then kill Will.
Henry walked back to the Black Cadillac sedan parked on the side of the hotel. He enters the back seat knocking on the drivers seat to signal it's time to leave. Getting out his cellphone he calls his brother.
"Hello"
"What's up bro"
"Hey what's good"
"Yeah I seen Passion, you wasn't lying she is bad as fuck and got a tempter too"
"I told you"
"Yeah but she was up at the W hotel with the boys I mean everyone who was under you was up in there, seems like she focusing on getting the club back up and running and looking to use the streets as investors to do it"
"Okay So she trying to make a board out of my clients giving them a piece of my club in return a source for clean money, the bitch smart. It would also decrease my power"
"Yeah the bitch is good but nothing I can't handle, shipment just came in and all they could think about is getting this new work out on the streets they're hungry"
"Cool that buys us some time, nobody is taking my club but keep an eye out on her she still might try to retaliate on the Colombos"
"She gonna be a hard nut to crack but it can be done big bro"
"Speaking of the devil it's her right now"
"Say no more, hit me back"
Will clicks over answering Passion who immediately goes in with a slur or curses.
"You bitch ass fool motherfucker"
"Well hi to you too Passion"
"Fuck you"
"Such language, where is all this coming from"
"So you bring your brother down to babysit me"
"Not babysit help"
"What you need help on is straightening this situation you got going on outside the club and let me worry about getting that business up and running, I had investors to rebuild"
"You had desperate men who sell drugs for me ready to take away my business I built stripping me of my power no boo not goi kg to happen. I respect your hustle but they need to get back to the grind"
"So it's like that huh"
"Respect the game boo"
"Okay say no more"
Passion hangs up the phone, she knew Will was watching her every move but not like that. She didn't know Henry so she didn't want to take him for granted but right now she had other concerns. A text from Ghost came in stating he knew about a meeting the Colombos were having in the morning perfect time to attack. Her face lit up with a smile, a beautiful end to a terrible night.
