~Lexis P.O.V.~

Things lately have been too good. At least for IRG. Why did it seem like after the homicide - suicide, everyone took a step back?

I've enjoyed my fun but now it's getting to be too strange. Almost a solid 3 months and not even an attempted murder? That's not like Oakland at all.

"Lexis? What's wrong with you?" Nelle asked concerned.

"There's something not right about all of this. Why is everything so calm? I haven't even heard of a drive by in 3 months." WTE and NBG haven't said anything,' much like IRG but why?

"Maybe Oakland is finally leaving behind it's drug game?" She said walking up to me and giving me a hug.

"Nah. Why haven't I seen black gang members stalking the streets? Why hasn't anyone tried coming after us while we're out shooting hoops or anything? This ain't right Nelle."

"You're just anxious. You haven't been dealing and it's just making you anxious, Lexis. I'm sure things are fine." But things aren't. Oakland has never been like this, for as far back as I can remember.

"It's like everyone is in hiding. I don't like this at all, Nelle I'm gonna go take a quick drive-" There was a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I said walking up to the door.

"Ice." I opened the door and was greeted to Ice standing there. "I heard y'all got some shit with Rico's Trio." I stepped aside for him to walk in. "Hey Nelle, nice to see you." He smiled at her, and she returned the gesture back.

"Yeah come back to my office. The last think I need is Ty hearing any of this and trying to do something on his own." I said leading us back to my office. Closing the door behind us and taking a seat in my chair. I pulled out a file and tossed it to him.

"What's this?" He asked.

"Everything we know or that correlates with Rico and his 3 gangs. He was head of all 3, with figureheads commanding each gang for him while he was in prison. My cousin, Raphael was running Orange, and Riley, Javier's ex, was running pink." I said sitting back.

"So Rico was running Black?" Ice questioned, looking through all the information. "But Arlie killed him, so that gang should have crumbled."

"There's someone else running that gang. That's the only thing I could come up with. Rico chose 3 people to run his 3 gangs for him while he was locked up. Back when we busted Double O-G, I would have never guessed Rico was really running that gang. Riley started her own gang but Rico snatched her up and that was the end. Killing Rico should have ended that gang, but that gang is only advancing, how when Rico's dead? Because there's someone else who knows what Rico had planned and I bet he knows exactly how to achieve that goal."

"All we gotta do is find out. Simple enough." He said closing the file.

"If any of us go on each other's territories, there will be a full on war. I want to avoid that at all costs."

"The longer we just sit, I'm sure the bigger that gang is getting-"

"We can't do anything. I don't know how many members they have or who is running it. If I at least knew one of the two, then I'd know what approach to take. This is why we need Rico but him being alive only made his gangs advance." This frustrates me. Rico put himself in the perfect position.

"What about Marco?" Ice said out of the blue. "I hear he's smart about gangs, what does he have to say about this?"

"He's not in any gang and won't say shit."
