I'm Too Hood For This
Daddy ShitPage. 9
Back at David's place, Snap, Ted and David are in the living room loading ammo into empty clips ,while David's phone rings. "Hello, Hey sis how's the girls?"
While he loads the clip into his 45 mm handgun and cocks it back. Kim reply's with, " They're ok bro but , I know that wasn't what I just heard in the background , was it? You're not even fully healed and already trying to do something crazy, let alone, didn't even bother to call to talk to Sasha and Tasha. You know they were worried and scared for you more than anyone ." David shoots a lil chuckle then says , " Naw sis, I'm not going to do anything crazy , I just feel safe with it now , and honestly I hear you on that, it's just I'm still use to them being with Tammie , you know this full time responsibility stuff is new to me sis but ,let me change my bandages and I'll get Ted to drop me off in a bit ." Kim responds back to David with , " Ok bro , you know I love you and I will never want to see anything happen to you, we'll be here when you come ." After ending the call David says to Snap and Ted, " Man fuck that daddy shit, let's go sweep some streets." Snap picks up the
AK- 47 and followed with saying , " Like the clean up men." Ted stands up with a grin and says , " You two crippled muthafucka's ain't gonna hit shit , hahaha let's roll. " David and Snap both laughs then says, "Watch us."Page. 10
While riding through the streets ,they drove by a few police cars and David starts having so many thoughts running through his mind but,
He was mainly thinking about Tasha and Sasha , and how it would be bad if things were to go wrong. He shakes his head then says to his self, " They already almost lost me." Ted looks in the rear view mirror and says, " Aww shit, you must be feeling the cooking oil heating up, Sounds like you bout to chicken out ." Looking back at the rear view mirror David says, " Naw I gotta do this, how is that going to make me look in these streets? Like a straight chump right? I was just thinking about Sash and Tash but , they'll be ok if something was to go wrong." Snap looks back at David then says , " Bro you cant be thinking negative like that , never think that anything is going to go wrong, you know I does this, we gone be straight ."Page. 11
As the three turn down a random street Ted says, "Awww shit that looks like one of the clowns right there sitting in that chair, I'm going to just double back around the block y'all be ready when we come back around." By this time David has so many emotions running wild, anxiety was the main one. As Ted turns back on to the street David phone rings and it reads Kim, "Hello, wasup sis?"
Catching the voice responding back , David hears that it's Tasha, " Hi daddy, where are you? My Annie said you were coming." Reluctantly David tell Tasha, " I am princess I am going to call you guys back." Soon as David hangs up the phone, multiple gun shots rang out . Once David refocused on what was going on ,he seen Snap shooting at the clown seen sitting in the chair trying to run and get away. David goes to aim his gun out the window to shoot but Ted pulls off. David looks at Ted and says " Fuck bro, what was that? Y'all ain't say shit..... Before David is able to get his next word out , a police siren blurped. As Ted pulls to the right a police car proceeded pass them. Ted says , "That's on my mama, that was a close one." Trying not to show any panic David says, " Go to Kim's, we can put these muthafucka's in her garage. Plus , I need to get to my seeds." Snap looks at Ted and says,
"I hope that was really one of them clowns I just shot." Then turns to David and says , " My badd for shooting and not saying nothing but , I did that because I didn't want you to be involved if it came down to it, I know you got shit going on with the girls right now."Page. 12
As the fellas finally arrive at Kim's, they head straight to her garage and hid the guns. Afterwards David tells Snap and Ted he will holla at them later and went into Kim's. Once inside of Kim's, All three ,Kim, Sasha, and Tasha are sitting in the living room and David says, "So I guess you just leave the door unlocked for anybody huh?" Jumping up off the couch with excitement are both the girls, "Daaaaddy." As they run over to hug David, Kim gives David a crooked look then says , "I heard y'all out there so I unlocked the door but , we'll talk about that one later." Looking back at Kim , David gives her a nod then says , "Ok." As David sits down Tasha says, " Did you almost die daddy?" David looks her and says ," Let's just say princess that I am fortunate to be here, i am lucky." Then Sasha asks , "Do you know who did it?" David looks at both of the girls and says, "I really don't know who did it , it happened so fast, I just remember waking up in the hospital bed and thinking about you guys." David eyes start to water then he says , " I'm leaving everything alone , I'm done with the streets , you two are my main priority for now on." Both the girls face went from looking sad to being lit up again with excitement , then David says, "Have y'all heard from Tammie ?" Throwing her hands up Kim says, " Nope she hasn't called or came by." David pulls his phone out then calls Tammie , after two rings Tammie picks up, " Wasup Baby Daddy? When are they gonna discharge you to go home? David responds back saying, " I'm home already, well I'm at Kim's but I'm home. Where are you?" Sounding kinda shocked Tammie says , "Oh is that right? I didn't know you were home but , I'm at the hospital with my friend ,his little brother got shot....let me call you back baby daddy."
