Chapter 2

Khalil aka Smoke.

After counting my stack of money I gave everybody they cut. Ain't nothing like having money coming in every two to three days. Scanning over Mike and Joe faces I already knew what the plan was for they asses tonight.

"Ight load all this shit up in the trucks and drop it off to the location they I sent to ya phones. And make sure y'all clowns delete the address after y'all make the drop!" I ordered making them check their phones to see if they got it.

Soon after they pulled off it was Jace and I left in the warehouse. I finished taking care of some unsettled business I had tied up with my fam. Jace was getting ready to head out back to school. I hate that the kid was still in and doing this type of shit. I told him after he graduate then he can come see me, but he ain' try to hear all that talkin' bout he want to provide for his family. I couldn't argue with that.

"Ayo boss. You comin' to my game tonight?" Jace asked me before leaving out the door. Shit. I forgot all about that damn game. I just figured why not since he barely ain' got nobody to support him.

"Hell yeah. What time it start?" I furrowed my eyebrows up in question.

"The doors open up at 5 but the game start at 6." He answered gettin all hype. I told him if he wins the home game I'll double his cut for tomorrow.

"Ight. Catch me there." I dabbed him up and he left out the door to head back to school since he was on his lunch schedule.

After finishing up my business I locked the warehouse up and pulled off in my car headed to get my hungry ass something to eat. Talkin' about a nigga was starving.

"Okay class so you know what your homework is for today that's due when?" Mrs. Roe asked the class that's already getting ready to leave out the classroom.

"In two days." The class answered in a irritated voice that was laughing.

"Man Mrs. Roe why you give us so many vocabulary words? My fingers be bout to fall off by the time my mama say the food done. You know how slow she cook." Everybody laughed waiting for the bell to ring.

"You ain't gotta do it. That'll be one less paper for me to grade." Mrs. Roe rolled her eyes and signed onto her computer. Jace just shrugged it off knowing he had no choice but to do his homework.

"Jayda you coming to my game tonight right?" Jace asked me smirking. He just wanted to strike up a conversation when he already knew the answer.

"Boy you know I'm coming. I just have to dropped off some packages and run some errands." I said walking towards the door cause the bell was gonna start ringing any minute. "I appreciate you Jayda alot. That's what's up." Jace thanked me by pulling me into a hug. As soon as the bell rang he was gone out the door.

I met up with Starr in the hallway head to my car. Since were getting our hair done together for the game tonight. We made our way to the car after people kept asking if were going to the game. I let Starr do the talking because now they were getting annoying. I turned the a.c. on since it was so hot outside. After dropping my packages off at the post office and running arrands. We made it to our hair appointment just in time.

Fresh out the chair we were now headed home getting ready for the game tonight. Traffic started getting heavy so now we were pushing for time.
