BEING HALSEY

CHAPTER 21

TRAY

I'm awake.

My back aches from sleeping on the sofa the whole night. I curse and struggle to my feet. I walk in my room carefully not to wake Hal (yeah she's here, it's a long story.)

I watch how she's tucked the duvet beneath her chin and how her face looks peaceful as a child's. So innocent. No makeup, no sadness and no hint of any suffering.

I shake her slowly.

"Hal, I have to go. There's food and drinks in the kitchen for breakfast.Okay?"

She opens her eyes slowly. It takes a second for them to focus on me. She smiles.

"Thanks for looking after me."

"Call me if you need anything."

Her fingers touch my hand. I tense.

"I will."

****

The rain smacks the pavement with fury. I weave through the one way street, squeezing past roadworks and pedestrians. I arrive less than a minute and bang the heavy black door.

" What's up big man." I smile and pound his fist.

He grins.

"Man, this place gives me the heebie-jeebies."

" With what? The spiders?"

We both laugh.

" Wha'chu gat there? A gun?" He asks and eyes my black coat.

" Do I look like I own a gun?"

He squint his eyes then says, " You could never be too careful these days."

"No serious man, I ain't got no gun."

I hold out my arms and Peanuts quickly pats my arms, legs and chest.

" You satisfied?" I ask and fix my jacket.

"Yeah, y'all good."

We walk inside the empty ware house.

"Is Boss in?"

"Yup, he flew in yesterday. Came with loads of cash he's still counting them till now."

"Nice."

We walk into a dark room with peeling grey paint and a small dirty window, covered with a light sheet. On the opposite side is a chair and a small table.

We walk to the wall and Peanuts opens the secret pathway. A large flat screen TV is mounted on the wall, beside it are heads of an impala, a Reindeer and a lion.

This is the Boss's room.

No one here knows his real name.

He's sitted on his black leather couch, his dreadlocks falling on his face and shoulders. He has dark brown eyes, really dark and a snake tattoo on his left cheek.

"Yo yo...." I walk toward him and we pound our fists.

" mAh loyal man....Tray...ssup?" He smiles and lits a blunt.

" Got something for you." I unstrap my backpack and toss the money on the glass table.

B( boss) smiles.

I lit myself a blunt as he counts his money.

"This is good....huge rolls like this....I'm stinking RICHHHHH!"

" It's nothing Boss. I'm just doing my job."

He calls out one of his men and hands him the money. The man types the password, drops the rolls and locks the safe.

" So Tray, I got OG Kush, purple Haze,Snow White and blueberry. Which one sells fast?"

"OG Kush. College students love them."

"Well then," He pulls a black bag from his shelf and hands it to me. " I want my money by next week, got it?"

"Yeah yeah. I got you." I grab the bag and toss it in my backpack.

We're both silent for a few minutes.

"This is for you." He drops four rolls on the table and a Rolex watch. " You're officially my right hand man. Keep up with your good work."

Hennessey is brought and he pours two glasses. One for me and his.

"To us," he raises his glass, " for more money and loyalty. Cheers."

I smirk and gulp the cold drink.
