Nothing But Trouble (All The Way Home Sequel)

Chapter 41: Back to work.

***ELLE'S POV * * *

I had just called Troy and told him where to meet me at. He did what i asked and got a team together and now he was on his was way. While i was waiting i decided to call my LeLe and see how they were doing.

"Hello ?" She answered.

"Hey, it's me."

"Elle ? Oh my gosh i miss you !"

"I miss you too" i laughed. "How is everything there ?"

"It's amazing ! I love it here. Everything is beautiful and calm."

"I'm glad you like it." I smiled. "How's my mom and Aj ?"

"They're good. Ella seems more cheerful here. She's not as quiet as she usually is. Aj is doing well. He misses you a lot, you're all he talks about day in and day out. He's being a good boy just like you told him. He hasn't cried once since me got here."

"I miss him." I sighed. "I'd give anything to be there instead of fucked up Miami."

"Why didn't you come then ?"

I debated telling her what i was up to but I knew if i told her i would give her hope and i didn't want let her down if everything didn't fall through the way i wanted.

"I have work." I lied. It was a weak excuse and i knew she wouldn't buy it. But it was the best i had for right now.

"Work ? You sent us out of the country so you could teach dance classes two times a week and model on the weekends ?" In other words, "yeah right, bitch."

"Look, i can't go into details with you. Just hold tight and i'll be there as soon-" a knock on my office door interrupted me.

"Tiny, they're out there." Troy walked in the room.

"I have to go. I'll call you back later." I hung up abruptly. There was no doubt i was getting cussed out on the next phone call.

I stood up from my desk and followed him out to where thes rest of the crew was. There were twenty of them. All of them looked young as hell too. I saw them eyeing me as i walked in the room. Right now, i was just an object of lust to them. It would only take just a few minutes for them to see me as a boss though.

"Is this enough ?" Troy asked, standing beside me.

"Oh this is more than enough. For right now." I grinned. "So, i'm assuming you're all here because you want to get paid, right?" I turned to the men standing in front of me.

"Hell Yeah" One of the said. The others grinned and nodded their heads in agreeance.

"Good. That means we have a common interest." I grinned. "Alright, first things first, Does anybody have a problem working for a female ?" I waited to see if any of them would respond. None of them said a word so i continued. "Good, now listen up, i'm not like the rest of these small scale dope boys. They make you take all the risk, then they pay you chump change while they sit on piles of money. That's not how i do business. Nothing i do is ever small. I move real weight. And i pay very very well. With that being said, i want you all to know that this is a team. We work together. If one one person fucks up, everybody fucks up, including me." I said making eye contact. They watched me intently, waiting for me to finish. "Now, don't get shit twisted. I am the boss. I'm the head bitch in charge around here and if any of you niggas don't like that, you can get the fuck out" i shrugged. "But if you treat me with respect, then i'll do the same. It's as simple as that. Now, that i've said what i had to say, let's get down to business."

****

Troy and i spent the next six hours teaching the team all they would need to know. It took awhile but they were slowly catching on. Most of them were young as hell. Some were fresh out of highschool and some were highschool dropouts. They seemed like decent boys. I hoped i didn't have to kill one. After we finished going over the various jobs i had assigned, i finally let the boys go home.
