Chapter 55Malcolm
I can't tell my family what's going on because they would definitely be upset with me especially Catalina, I decided to take a walk to clear my head and think about everything that is about to happen; Sampson is up to some crazy ass shit and I just had to be the dumb motherfucker that said yeah I'll tag along. Well it was either this or risk going back to prison but hell if we get caught I'm going back to prison anyway, I don't know if I can do this maybe I should just back out of the whole deal with Sampson; but then I started to think about what would happen if he tells Catalina everything that was going on while I was still locked up. What if Catalina starts to hate me once she knows the truth, I couldn't risk it so I decided not to back out of the deal damn I'll just have to proceed with the plans; I felt my phone buzz in my pocket so I pulled it out and seen that it was a message from Sampson. "Meet me at the spot, don't be late." I already knew that this couldn't be good what kind of shit did I get myself into? I quickly replied back to Sampson's message. "I'll be there soon." I shoved my phone back in my pocket and sped walked to my destination, because I knew if I took my time he would send people to look for me and to be completely honest I really didn't feel like dealing with his people.
So about 5 minutes later I made it to the spot his people were outside as usual guarding the doors like they were secret service and Sampson was the damn president, the guards searched me then they let me through; I walked to Sampson's office door and knocked I heard shuffling around on the other side of the door then I heard Sampson say. "Who is it?" I stood silent on the other side of the door because part of me wanted to cuss he knew that it was me but I said before saying. "It's Malcolm." I heard Sampson chuckle then the door slowly opened revealing Sampson's smiling face, he stepped to the side and I slowly walked into his office; Sampson closed the door behind me then he took a seat behind his desk. "I'm glad you came Malcolm, there are some things that we have to discuss." Honestly I didn't know what exactly we needed to discuss I knew the entire plan already, I knew the rules and I also knew what needed to be done so what more could be said? I looked at Sampson but I didn't say a word I just waited for him to speak; Sampson looked at me then he said. "We have more areas to cover, and other cities." This was all to much for me to handle but I had to do it, I shook my head to let him know that I understood everything he was saying to me; but my question was why do we have more cities I thought this was only for New Jersey?
A million thoughts were running through my mind, I had so many questions but I didn't know where to begin; I guess Sampson could tell that I had a lot on my mind because he spoke before I could. "Look I think that it's best if we expand to other cities, we can't just limit ourselves to New Jersey." I sat there thinking to myself, hell why can't we just limit ourselves to New Jersey? If we expand we'll be caught for sure no questions asked, I kept that thought to myself as Sampson continued to speak. "The more clientele we get the more money we'll have." I had to agree he was starting to make a little sense, I did want the money so my family could have a better life but more money meant more consiquences for me and I wasn't ready for all that. I needed time to think but I knew that I wouldn't have much time, Sampson was talking but I couldn't hear any of the words coming out of his mouth; the only thing that I could hear were the voices in my head screaming how wrong this was and that I needed to get out of this shit. The voices in my head were right but then again they were wrong I needed the money and I knew that a 9 to 5 wouldn't give me the type of money that I needed and wanted right now, finally I snapped out of my thoughts to Sampson looking at me with a concerned expression then he calmly said. "Are you alright Malcolm, do you need some water?" I shook the thoughts that I was thinking about from my head before saying. "No thank you I'm fine." The phone on Sampson's desk rung and he answered, I quietly waited for him to finish his conversation with whoever he was talking to then five minutes later he hung up and said to me. "Malcolm it's go time." My heart skipped a few beats, then all of a sudden my throat became dry there's no turning back now this is it the big bucks my heart is beating so fast that I can see through my shirt I needed to calm down and relax but how?
I tried closing my eyes but that didn't work, I tried to make myself think. about something else but that shit didn't work either; I didn't want to panic because Sampson would see that I was panicking then he probably wouldn't trust me so I stepped outside on the balcony that's connected to his office. Maybe some fresh air will calm my nerves and clear my head I took a deep breath and that's when I felt a hand touch my shoulder, I jumped then I heard Sampson chuckle before saying. "It's just me Malcolm, are you alright?" I contiplated on lying or just telling him the truth, I figured that if I lied then he wouldn't know that I'm truly scared but if I tell him the truth then he'll tell me that I'm not fit to do this anymore so I just decided to lie. "Yeah I'm fine, just getting some fresh air." Sampson laughed and patted my back before lighting a cigarette and saying. "Good because this is our year we're going to be on top of the world once again, and nobody will stop us." I knew that Sampson was right, nobody would be able to stop us we'd be the kings of New Jersey and whatever other cities we decide to make our territory it's my time to shine so the world better watch out because I'm coming for everything and everyone.
