Chapter 11

China sat at the table watching the news, worried to death about Smooth. Once again, the news lady repeats herself:

“I’m here live where there was a mass shooting last night that seems to be gang-related. Eyewitnesses said two vehicles, a blue minivan, and a red pick-up truck, pulled up outside this restaurant and several black males popped out and started shooting. So far, there are 16 dead and nine injured, three of whom are in critical condition and might not make it. If you have any information about this shooting, the police ask that you please call them immediately.”

“China,” she heard her name and turned to see a girl by the phone calling out her name. “China, it’s your turn for the phone.”

China got up, went to the phone, and dialed Smooth’s number. After getting no answer, she called Roxy.

“Hello?”

“This is a collect call from China, an inmate at Lowell Correctional Institution. To accept the call, press zero.”

Roxy pressed zero.

“This call may be monitored and/or recorded. Thanks for using Securus.”

“God, I hate that automated shit,” Roxy said.

“Yeah, me, too!”

“So, have you heard from Smooth lately?”

“Yeah, he ate dinner at my restaurant last night.”

“I just called him and got no answer.”

“Do you want me to give him a message?”

“Just tell him that I love him and let him know that I mailed him a letter this morning.”

“I’ll let him know as soon as I talk to him.”

“So, how’s the restaurant business?”

“Busy! Very busy! I got tables booked a month ahead of time. It’s totally crazy. I never expected it to take off like this. It’s a dream come true, thanks to you and Smooth.”

After a few more minutes, the automated voice announced, “You have one minute remaining.”

“Well, I’m glad you called. I love you and will see you next weekend. But call me again in a few days,” Roxy said.

“I will and I love you too. Bye.”

“NEXT ON THE PHONE,” China yelled, as she headed to her room to finish reading Silk White’s Married to Da Streets.

Pulling up to Ronny’s, Smooth saw a 15’ blacked-out Dodge Charger and a candy apple- red ’95 Chevy Caprice sitting out front, which meant that Sue Rabbit and Prince Guru were already there. Parking in the street, Smooth looked around and saw nobody outside or sitting in cars. Nothing appeared strange, so he popped open the trunk, grabbed the bag with the cooked-up coke, and headed to Ronny’s door, where he knocked twice. It was opened almost immediately by Ronny

“Come on in and join the party,” Ronny said.

Once inside, Smooth saw Guru and Sue standing at the table with several handguns on it.

“What’s this, a war council?” Smooth joked.

“Nah, but I brought some toys you’d probably like to have,” Sue said. “As a matter of fact, this one’s for you,” Sue continued, handing Smooth a pistol.

“What is it?” Smooth asked.

“It’s an FN Five Seven pistol. It carries 20 5.7 x 28mm armor-piercing rounds. Guaranteed to stop anything short of a tank,” Sue said.
