Keeping Patience

KEVIN

"So, are you here to accept the heir as Mafia King?" Dax asked looking between Me and Big D

"Yes. I've ran into some money problems .. with another child on the way I can't lose my home and everything I've worked hard for." I said

Dax nodded and smiled "That's the Kevin I remember, the go-getter. Sorry for what you had to go through. But no matter how much you try to change, you're a thug nigga at heart. You can try to run away, but it's just in you. But I can assure you money will no longer be an issue. I have a 10 billion dollars that I've made over the course of time in this business. I'm giving you half, 5 billion, that's should be enough to get your money problems under control and run the Mafia business I'm leaving to you. Dax I'll be giving you a billion as Kevin's right hand man."

I nodded my head then looked at Big D.

"You sure this what you want bro?" Big D asked "there's no going back."

I nodded. The money sounded great to me. "I'm in? You in?" I asked D

"A billion dollars?" He got silent "fuck it. I'm in." We did a manly handshake then turned back to Dax.

"Alright boys. Considering how long y'all have been out the game. I will be contacting the Elites to wipe y'all back into shape. But before that, we must have a talk." Dax said.

Dax walked over to a area where his crystal cups were and poured himself a drink.

"With this KingPin and Mafia shit comes sacrifices. Your lives will never be the same again. You will have to be a quick thinker and fast on your feet. Not just you, but your family as well. You will become a target. Gangs from all over will try to come for you in different ways. Your kids and wives will have to be sharpened up by the Elites so they won't be manipulated. So if you're thinking about hiding this from them, it won't last long." Dax said taking another sip of his whiskey. "I lived the dangerous lifestyle for a long time. I had no family or friends for a very long time. I didn't want them involved with the shit I was doing. So ima asking you two one last time, are you sure about this? Because once you agree, it's not coming back."

"I'm for sure about this. I can take care of my family Dax. You know that. Ain't no motherfucker fucking with my wife and kids." I said, meaning every word. I'll die before I let anyone touch my kids and wife.

"I'm ready. This is what we were born to do. Fuck motherfuckers up. We have no lost a battle Dax, and you know that." Big D said

Dax laughed "same ole Kev & Big D. Ready for whatever, never turning down a fight."

"Grandad, I got the pack—" KJ stopped talking once he noticed me and his uncle D sitting in Dax's office.

I observed he had a backpack on, take note it's 9:30pm. I wasn't even mad though. I suspected he was moving weight for Dax. I shook my head at his shocked expression. We in this shit now, so I have to shape him up because from here, shit was about to get dangerous.

"Yuuuuurr! Wassup grandaddy Daxxy I got—" KJ's goofy ass friend D.C. stopped in his tracks noticing me and Dax as well. "Ummm.. I can just come back another time. Mr. Kevin please don't tell my mama."

I chuckled
"Na, stay in here D.C. and close the door." He did as told, I continued "So y'all little asses wanna be gangsters huh?" I stated more than asking

"Man, dad I'm ready for this. Niggas already know not to fuck with me out here. My name hold weight. I run the whole north and soon the south." KJ said boldly.

Me and Big D laughed "y'all lil niggas ain't no fucking thugs. Kevin, I already knew you was selling. Rule number 1 to moving weight: Never leave your product out in the open. That's how I found out you was selling. You had a pound and a stack of cash side by side on the backseat of your car for anyone that passes by to see. You can't be that sloppy in this business." I said

Dax shook his head hearing this information.
"Rule number 2: you don't start any unnecessary drama round this bitch" Dax said "You not going to take over no fucking south side without coming through me first. Lawrence who runs the south is my business partner. I don't give a shit about your petty ass school drama. Don't fuck up my business boy!"

KJ held his head down with embarrassment.

"KJ, look at me" I said "you're my son. If this what you want, this business. I can take you under my wing. Dax is stepping down as KingPin and I'm taking over. I'm going to shape you up, along with Big D and the Elites. You can't be making this same childish mistakes. Our family is going to become a target from people of all walks of life. Being the men in this family, we are going to have to keep the women safe and our empire.. You down for this son?"

He nodded his head "Im down. Whatever it is I have to do, Im ready."

"I'm with you too bro. I'm not leaving you behind." D.C. said

I nodded my head and gave him a handshake "real ass nigga." I said, they reminded me of a younger version of me and Big D.

"Alright, So now that we have an understanding. Training goes into session tomorrow 6am sharp. I think the only problem will be getting the women on the same page." Dax said then chuckled "Boy your mama gone beat my ass."

I laughed "hell yeah she is. But we out Dax."

"Wait. 6am? I wanted to go to this party tonight." KJ said

I shook my head "this what you wanted right? It comes with sacrifices."

"That's right. This a grown man business grandson. All that childish shit out the fucking window now. Stay focused." Dax said "oh by the way. The money is being transferred to your accounts."

I nodded as we walked out to our cars. Big D jumped in my all black Jaguar and D.C. got in KJ's old Jeep taking him home.

I pulled up to D mansion "So what you going to tell Patience?" He asked

"Shit. The truth, she's just going to have to accept it."

He laughed "nigga you lying. Patience home rip your ass in half."

I shook my head "nigga what you gone tell Petals crazy ass?"

"Shid. Nothing. She pregnant so it ain't like she can get involved or do much anyways." He said

"Shit. That's true.. maybe we can get away with it until they have the babies. We can get security around the house and guards to follow them when they go out. I already have cameras set up around the house. I just don't watch it like I should." I said

"Hell yeah, that's a good idea. I don't need Petals stressing about shit while she  pregnant." He dapped me up "see you at 6." He said getting out my car.

I dapped him up and drove off. I texted KJ.
Me: don't tell ur mama shit that happened tonight. I'll take care of all that. Wen u come in tell her u was at the stu & D.C. crib. That's it. No speaking on shit until I say it's cool.
