Page. 17
On his drive back home, David falls into a daze and starts thinking to his self, "Why? Why this muthafucka wanna start some beef up with us at a time like this? Tammie is going to have to sit her ass the fuck down, I can just let her and the girls stay at my place while I stay at the money tree until I kill this......" Blurp blurp, being forced to refocus,David swerves a bit then looks into the rear view to see police lights and says,
"Fuck." David pulls to the side of the road and waits as the officer approaches the window and engages , "How are you today sir? Do you have license and registration?
And proof of insurance?" David looks at the officer and says, "Yes sir, I have each of the items you've asked for but, what exactly is the reason you pulled me over?" The officer paused for a second and radioed to the dispatcher, "No back up needed ,10-4 " Then proceeds to tell David,"Well the reason I pulled over is because you don't have on your seatbelt. Now you say that you have the items I asked you for , all you have to do is kindly hand them over so I can run everything , write you a ticket and you can be on your way, Or we can make this difficult, it's up to you."
Remembering he has his gun hidden under the seat ,he also looks down at his shoulder and noticed he doesn't have on his seatbelt David reply's with,
"No problem sir, here you go, sorry about that." The officer takes the items and politely walks back to his squad car for about 5 mins, then comes back with a clip board. "Here you go Mr. Ford, I just need you to sign right here and you can be off on your way." David signs the ticket and proceeded on with his day. As David pulls into his drive way he says out loud , "I swear it's too much shit going on right now."

Once in the house, Sasha and Tasha are in the living room eating cereal and watching cartoons David asks them , "Have your mom waking up yet?" Neither girl bothered to even look at him because, they were so glued to the television but ,Sasha says, "Yes Daddy, she just woke up to make us cereal." David shakes his head and says , " Bon appétit." David walks into the girls room where Tammie is sleeping and wakes her up with , "Tammie, Tammie wake up, I need you to lace me with the info." As Tammie turns over and groans she says , " What David? What exactly do you want to know?" David smacks Tammie on her ass then says , " This ass is distracting me right now ,sit up baby mama I need you to tell me where he lays his head , the trap houses, his crew, and shit where his mamma lays her head if you can too. I need all of the info you can give me." Tammie sit up rubs her face then says, " He lives with his mama over on Western and 40th but, he mainly be over at the spot on Common Street where his brother was shot. At the time I was around them,it was only Alligator, his brother ,and some other dude but, I never knew his name he just seemed kinda weird to me. I do think that Alligator hides his money at his mama's house." David smiles then says, "That's all I needed to know but ,I hope he doesn't realize that I'm up on game and switch up his whole routine. Has he called you recently?"
Tammie goes to pick her phone up off the nightstand then says, "Yea but I haven't answered since I talked to you about him earlier. See he called me twice while I was sleep. Should I call him back or what?" David looks at the phone then says , " Wait don't call him, text him and just let him know that you are at the movies with your kids and you will call him after." Tammie types some letters then says , "Ok I just sent it...... He's already texting me back. The text says, "Ok , I was just thinking about you." David laughs then says, "Ima put something on his mind to think about fasho."

With Sasha and Tasha outside in the backyard playing , David and Tammie decides to sneak in some adult time. Afterwards they're in bed and David notices Tammie just stuck staring at the ceiling with something on her mind. As he softly pinch her nipple he asks , " What's wrong baby mama? And don't say nothing ,I can see it all in your face." Tammie just lays there then says,
" Do you really have to do this David?
It's like my whole plan just back fired, I didn't mean for all of this to be happening but , behind me running my big mouth ,It has you getting into this shit even deeper, when I was trying get you out. I didn't even like Alligator like that , as I told you earlier I was bragging about you. All I want is our girls to grow up with their daddy around them 24-7. Do you really think that I was going through something? I've been making it happen on my own since we've been separated. I figured you having custody of the girls will make leave them streets...." David looks at Tammie kisses her on her forehead and says , "I hear you and I love you for that but ,you didn't have to do all of that baby mama. It's to the point where I can't let that slide. I could be dead no thanks to Alligator."
The room silenced for about a minute then David says, " I get at Alligator, leave the money tree to Snap and Ted , and we go. Me, you , Sasha, and Tasha..." Tammie just stares at him and says nothing , then David says, "What can go wrong?" Tammie shakes her head and says , "Jail.... Or death, shit how about our kids not having you in their lives at all David.You aren't even healed up fully from us almost losing already." As he sits up and slide to the foot of the bed David says, "I just have to strategize and play it right. I'm even thinking about acting alone and not telling Snap and Ted but....." It's a knock at the bedroom door , it's Tasha and Sasha , " Daddy, Daddy this man came in the backyard and gave us this toy. He said to show it to you and mommy." David jumps up grabs his gun and limps outside. After several minutes he re-enters , "Its time for y'all to go, y'all can't be here, take the girls and go to Kim's. This muthafucka walks in my backyard and gives my kids a toy alligator? I'm about to go pay his mama a visit , and see how he likes the gift I leave for her." Looking confused and scared Tammie just nods her head then grabs the girls and says, " Please call me as soon as you can David."
