Kane's pov

I sat waiting patiently in my car for my young g, Zie. He was finally back on road after what happened with T1 and them man a couple weeks back. Usually, I wouldn't allow someone to take this long out but he was just a yout. Zie was the only young g I checked for, he reminded me of myself. He was a hothead but I slyly wanted better for him. I wanted him to go college and uni and not be out here like me but he weren't trying to hear any of that. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard someone pulling on the passengers side door handle. I unlocked the car when I clocked it was Zie.

"What's good, Zie?" I asked, punching him lightly on his arm. The boy had the biggest grin on his face. "I'm good, g". He said loudly as he slumped back in the chair. "Them man are nuts if they think they can keep me off the road. I got suttin for T1 when I see him anyway. Little pussyole". He explained before grinning again and showing me the gun in his waistband. I shook my head at him but knew I couldn't say shit. If man cheffed me like that, they would be dead already. "You know i'm dealing with T1 already. I got you, just relax". I said. "No offence g, but your taking too long!" He said now sitting up. "If someone cheffed you or Jay, they would have been dead already and it would have been me riding out". He half shouted before sighing loudly and slumping back in the chair. I chuckled lightly at how dramatic he was being but it was the truth. "I hear you bro. Mans just got to be careful because there's females involved". I admitted as Kaysia crossed my mind. "Since when did you care about any female?" He replied back with a sour look on his face. I didn't reply, just dragged my hand down my face. Zie stared at me before raising his eyebrow. I looked away to face out the window. "This one's different still". I said as I averted my gaze to the view in the windscreen. He nodded his head in understanding and then began to look around the car.

"Yoooo". He dragged out. "It smells loud in here". He laughed before sniffing and looking around the car once again causing me to laugh as well. "Got 2 boxes for you my guy". I said looking at him. "I ain't even got that kind of money right now, bro". He said before kissing his teeth. "I said I got 2 boxes for you bro, fuck the money". I replied. It was my way of trying to make up for him getting stabbed because I knew it was because of me. Plus, he's been out for like a month because of it so it kind of makes up for his losses. "Bro, that's 8 bags. I can't take that". He said but I ignored him and kissed my teeth. I felt a vibration in the pocket of my tracksuit bottoms and pulled out the small phone.

"Yo". I answered and waited for a response. "Hello...Kane, hi. It's Shane". He replied sounding just as high as he usually does. "Yeah, go on". I said trying to make him hurry up. "Listen, I know you only come for 3 5s but I only need a draw". He said stuttering. I just kissed my teeth. "Ahh c'mon Kane. I even got a shot for you". "Who is it?" I asked. "It's my friend, I gave him your number". He explained making me kiss my teeth again. "Sn, my young g's coming to you now". I said before locking off. I don't leave my house for anything less than a 3.5, I don't know what he thought this was.

"Who me?" Zie asked. "I was going to ask Sylo, but you can take it if you want". I shrugged. "Safe g". He responded. "You know that Shane brudda from Peckham rye, lives right by the park". I explained. Zie bust out laughing. "Fuckinnn hell" he dragged out. "That nigga's funny still. You know I see him chasing some paper bag the other day. What's he want weed for anyway, thought he was on the white". He shared as he continued to laugh. "He's on everything bro, trust". I said back simply.

I started the car and proceeded to take Zie home. He only lived 5 minutes from here and with the boxes in the back, it made sense. We pulled up outside his house and he spudded me before jumping out and retrieving the 2 boxes from the boot. I sped off back towards elephant when my line rang again. "Yo" I answered. "Yo, one guy called Shane gave me your number, I need to re-up and my guy ain't about. You got 2 boxes I can get from you". I squinted my eyes at nothing in particular. "Where you at?" I asked. "By Old Kent road" He replied back. "Sn, message me an address. I'll be like 15 minutes". I said. "Cool". He replied before locking off the phone. A text with an address came through immediately from the same number so I put it in waze and made my way there.
