Starting Over Again

No Mercy

MARCUS

I had to tell Jasmine about this but I don't know how . I don't want her to stress . I went back to the hospital to tell her and tell her that I would handle it but knowing her that won't work .

I decided to be blunt no sugar coating . I gave her the letter .

"what's this ?"

"ju ... just read it babe"

I watched her expression as she was reading and I could tell that not only was she livid she was hurt .

"HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN ! THEYRE KIDS MARCUS , MCKYNZE IS A BABY"

"I know I know calm down I will handle this"

"no I'm doing it , get my shit so I can leave"

"the doctor isn't allowing you to leave yet you should-"

"I don't give a fuck what the doctor said . some scary ass stranger got my kids now if you don't wanna help me then move the hell out my way"

I watched as she put her clothes on and tried to leave the room . But we couldn't just walk out .

"baby you can't just walk out , your a patient the doctor won't let you go we need a plan and you need to be thinking about who did this ... you got any enemies ?"

"my only enemy was ... Ralph . he was the only one messing with my business at this time . but he dead"

"well do he have any enemies ? maybe they did it cause you his daughter"

"we taking a trip to ATL"

"who is it ?"

"it's baby joker , I wanna discuss some business with the man in charge"

"he ain't here"

"I know he dead . now get me the person that's next up or I'll blow all this shit up"

I heard locks being unlocked and pretty soon the door swung open revealing a tall built man with dreads . he started walking and I followed all the way to a room in the back .

"aye boss , somebody wanna see you" the man said poking his head in door

"nigga fuck I tell you bout busting in here . who the fuck want me ?"

I busted in and saw that this nigga was getting head by some thot .

"we ont need you no more homeboy" I said to the man with the dreads . "and we don't need ya ass either bitch get the fuck outta here"

"ahhh baby joker ... nice seeing you here . what brings you ?" he said while laughing

"aye homeboy this ain't time fa games . we talking business here . now I wan know did joker have any enemies coming his way ? he owe anybody money or some shit ?"

"other than you ? baby girl what makes you think I would tell you something . you a fucking snake you killed ole man"

"he got what he was asking for . no mercy in these streets . he knew what was good for him , he decided to do the opposite . everybody gotta go sometime these streets just make our time come .... slight faster ."

"no mercy huh ?" he whipped out a gun and aimed it at me . I just laughed .

"you know what's good for you . and this ain't it you gon be dumb like joker ? you can end up dead inna middle of the streets too . or worse since you threatened me . do what's smart" he put the gun away . "that's what I thought . now tell me what I wanna know"

"his name Cassio he ain't from here he from like Rome or Paris . his family staying back in Italy though for hide out . he got the highest drug trade on that part .

"I can do shit myself I don't need ya help . but ya know I do want our empires to come together and make one big one . I should have the say since this is my father shit anyway . and you won't be living much longer"

"what you mean I won't be living much longer ?"
