The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

32

Walking back into their bedroom Paris watched as Shane smoked out on the balcony.. heading out to him she closed the balcony door ..

"I don't wanna see you right now.." He said, not even turning around but he knew it was her

"Shane, this is Kelsey we're talkin about.. yeah what she did was stupid but it's because she felt like she had no choice .." Paris said but was cut off

"You tryna justify that shit Paris ?!" He asked

"No, I'm just saying she was in pain, she was running from a mad man and not thinking correctly.. she got tired of being the niggas punching bag so she ran .." She replied

"Ain't shit changed, she knew who the fuck he was when she married him .. she been with him this long why leave now ?" He asked

"Because she was starting to fear for her life .." Paris said ..

Laughing, Shane waved her off "She gave you half the story Paris .. don't go running around being captain save a bitch when you only got one side .." He said with a smile ..

Interrupting their conversation, Shane looked into the bedroom where he seen his brother walking in .. causing Paris to turn around ..

"Guess who I just got off the phone with.." Shamar had an evil grin on his face as he approached his brother ..

"Gianni ?" Shane asked

"You know it .. He supposed to be meeting us at Apollo," Shamar replied

"Apparently he wants to negotiate but ain't no negotiating when it comes to my daughter.. I'll be ready in 5.." He said as he turned around and walked out

"Ya'll stayin here .." Shane said as he headed for the bedroom

"Shane, no .." Paris replied as she followed him

"Paris, yes .. what happened at Apollo ain't happenin again !!" He said

"But it won't, we all want him dead so what's there to worry about ?" She asked

Sighing, Shane stopped to look at his wife "He just said Gianni tryna negotiate, he ain't got shit to negotiate with except Kelsey .. and what you gonna do when he try to out her ? Shoot him too ?" Shane asked

"You said you would let her tell him.." Paris yelled

"I will .. but if Gianni tell him first .. that ain't got shit to do with me, just like it ain't got shit to do with you !! Stay your ass here, don't come to Apollo and if Kelsey try to come you better let me know .. do you hear me ?" He asked

Sighing, Paris looked around the room before nodding ..

"I don't hear you .." Shane said

"Yes, Shane !!" She replied

Glaring at her, he walked out of the room ..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shamar and his brother sat in VIP of Apollo laughing, conversing, smoking, and drinking as if they weren't there with a vendetta to pursue ..

They didn't know how the night would end but it was guaranteed to end in their favor ..

Regardless of any negotiation Gianni had for Shamar all he wanted was his blood on his hands .. the rest was irrelevant ..

Getting the signal that they were waiting for from one of their men, they were notified that Gianni had finally arrived..

Standing up, Shamar straightened his blazer with his hand as a smirk crossed his face ..

"I didn't think the bastard was gonna show .." He announced to his brother

"His daughter here, so he was gonna show .." Shane replied as he took his last shot to the head ..

He knew it was about to be a long night, he just wondered how it was gonna end..

Both of them headed down the long hall right back to the same room Gianni's brother & mom met their demise .. Only this time it was his turn ..

His daughter was secure in the next room, but Shamar was well prepared to use her if all else it the fan .. He was gonna do what he had to do, although it wouldn't bring his daughter back, he was going to avenge her death somehow ..

But laying eyes on Gianni was a whole nother story.. Shamar was a man who knew how to keep his composure at all times, he knew how to handle himself in any situation, everything about him was so clever, polished, and mastered it was hard to think he ever stepped out of bounds.. but at that moment, that composure and skill went clean out the window ..

Shane wasn't even surprised when his brother raised his gun, pointing it straight at Gianni's head .. he didn't think he would be that unsettled, coming face to face with his daughters killer .. but he was just that ..

"I thought we came here to talk .." Gianni said

"Nigga I don't wanna talk to you .." Shamar replied

Nodding, Gianni expected that .. "What about my daughter ?" He asked

"What about her ?" Shamar asked with a smirk

"You still gonna let her go ?" He asked

"I might.."

"Listen, I know I'm not getting out of here alive .. so I got some information for you that I'm hoping will insure my daughters freedom .." He said

Shaking his head, Shane slid his hands in his pockets as he got ready for shit to hit the fan .. He already knew what Gianni was about to say before he even said it ..

"Kelsey helped me .." Gianni blurted out

Frowning, Shamar walked closer to Gianni with his gun still pointed at his head .. not believing him, he knew for certain Gianni was trying to fuck with his head ..

"Kelsey did what ?" He asked half ass entertaining the idea

"The plan to kidnap Sasha, Kelsey knew about it .. she went along with it because she owed me money .." Gianni said

Without hesitation, Shamar hit Gianni over the head with his gun .. "You ain't gonna insure shit for your daughter with you talkin like that .." Shamar said

"He not lyin .." Shane, who was quiet finally spoke up..

Turning to his brother, Shamar put his gun down and frowned some more .. "The fuck you mean ?" He asked

"I just found out today, from Paris .. Kelsey was gonna tell you today .." He finished

Sitting down, Shamar glanced between the two of them before settling on his brother .."What the fuck happened again ?" He asked

"I only know half the details bruh .. you need to ask your wife .." Shane replied

Thinking for a moment he nodded, Shamar could feel the fire in his chest spreading.. Out of everybody Kelsey was the last person he felt he'd ever need to investigate ..

"Let's go .." He said as he stood up.. "Gianni, you know this the same place your mama and brother died ?" He asked .. all in one motion he raised his gun and put a hollow tip dead in the middle of Gianni's head ..

Entering the room almost immediately Solo barged in right before the brothers could walk out ..

"Yo, we need to get on a jet like right the fuck now and bounce .. I just got word Gianni sent the feds this way, apparently while he been hiding out he been helping the DEA build a case against yall .. This whole thing was a set up, he planned on leaving here alive with his daughter .. " Solo said

Shaking his head "The whole Kelsey blip was him stallin .." Shane said

Nodding, Shamar headed out "Let's go .."

"What about his daughter ?" Solo asked

"For that stunt he just pulled .. kill her .." Shamar demanded
