Get Up 10

Chapter 55 - Barriers

Omniscient

     On the following Wednesday night Saint headed to the trap to get his men in check. What he didn't know was that there was in fact no snake in his crew but instead, he was being watched as made his way there. Someone had tipped the cops.

    Jah was stopping by to drop off money made from the product. The drive was about 20 minutes and as he pulled up he saw cop cars. The lights lit up the blocks as people watched from a distance. He immediately hid the money and jumped out.

" Yo? What the fuck happened?" Jah said spotting Saint Josiah exiting the house cuffed.

Saint was angry.

" Just call my lawyer " was the only thing Saint said and the cop walking him immediately slammed him to the ground scraping his face.

" Yo what the fuck son!" Jah walked closer and another cop attempted to mace him

" Yeah aight bitch I wanna see you try" He snapped.

    The female cop immediately drew her weapon causing him to step back raising both hands. He knew he couldn't risk getting shot being that he was the only one who didn't get arrested. Had he been there seconds earlier he would've been cuffed as well. It was up to him to hold shit down. A nearby women recorded the incident from her window.

     Saint was now being lifted up and his face bled down to his white shirt. He spit out blood. His only thought was the safety of his family and money. He knew his brother and father could hold their own and was counting on them to get everyone out Harlem until shit died down. It didn't matter if it was to the next borough, he just wanted them moved. He knew to call Trent immediately after he spoke to his lawyer. Somebody set him up.

A few members was now being walked out the house and went crazy seeing Saints face.

" Yo what the fuck man?! What the fuck y'all bloody his face for man?" One attempted to break out the cops hold but was also slammed down and beaten with a baton. The cop didn't do this due to the fact that he was trying to break hold but because Nav had been arrested for attempting to kill an undercover cop five years back. This was personal.

The pain was excruciating. Nav screamed out but was immediately hit in the mouth causing it to become bloodied.

A handcuffed Saint watched from the car and broke down seeing this happen. He felt like everything was his fault.

Jah still had a weapon pointed at him but the cop immediately rushed over to the officer beating Nav.

All the men were placed into cars and they drove off at the same times.

Jah immediately called up Trent after seeing more than a handful of his friends being arrested.

" Yo bro Saint and them just got arrested. What the fuck is going on?"

" What?! Yo pull up on me"

" Aight copy"

Jah drove quickly to Trent's house. Trent was there with his girl.

" Yo what happened?" He asked as his blood was boiling. His brother meant everything to him and he knew he wasn't dumb enough to get caught. Saint was smart. We are careful. It didn't make sense.

" I just pulled up on niggas, Saint said it's a rat out Harlem and called a meeting. Soon as I drop my shawty off  I go and see niggas getting arrested."

" Who the rat? They need to get fucking handled!" Trent raised his voice.

" You got a kid coming any day now bro just chill. I'll handle it. Just look out for your family. The streets don't love nobody"
