Spoon sat in his truck for awhile thinking about the meeting he had with the agents. Then mulling over about Tyriq calling him and why he wanted to meet. He was uneasy about the meeting and thought against going but didn’t want to have anyone doubting his loyalty.
He got out his truck and rushed back into the crib. He went down into the basement, went over to where his discreet safe was stashed and began punching in the combination to get it open. He swung open the door and dropped stacks of money into a blue duffle bag. He dropped three-hundred thousand dollars into the bag and quickly zipped it up and rushed back to the Range Rover.
He backed out of his driveway like a bat out of hell and as soon as he hit the stop sign at the corner, he got on his phone and called Melissa, one of his baby-mothers.
“What you want, Spoon?” Melissa asked, sounding disturbed.
“Listen, I’ll be at your place in fifteen minutes,” he quickly said.
“You coming over?” she asked.
“I’ll be there soon, just be up.”
“Just ring me when you’re near.” Melissa sucked her teeth and hung up.
Spoon jumped on the Southern State Parkway hurrying to Queens. He had the duffle bag with the money right next to him on the passenger seat, and knew he was living on borrowed time. He did so much dirt in his lifetime that he knew one day karma would probably come back on him twice. He had this eerie feeling that something was about to go down.
Spoon pulled up to Melissa’s home in Queens Village and got out of the truck carrying the duffle bag in his grip. He wanted Melissa to hold on to the money in case something happened to him. He wanted his kids to have an optimistic future for themselves—one that he never had growing up.
He knocked on Melissa’s door, waiting impatiently for her to answer. Time was important for him. Melissa opened the door and snapped, “Nigga, I said call when you get near. I’m not even dressed.”
There was no time for arguing. He gently pushed Melissa to the side and made his way inside. Melissa looked at him like he was crazy, but kept her cool and noticed the small duffle bag on her couch.
She walked over to Spoon wearing a white Terry cloth robe and looked at the bag and asked, “What’s inside?”
Spoon looked at her and stated, “I need you to keep that for me. There’s three-hundred thousand in that bag for you and my kids in case something happens to me.”
Melissa suddenly became worried.
“What do you mean, Spoon? What’s goin’ on?”
“Just take the money and put it someplace safe,” he instructed.
“Are you in trouble?” she asked worried.
“Just take the shit and keep it safe, Melissa,” he barked.
Spoon was never the type to explain himself to anyone. He wanted to keep it moving without being interrogated. Melissa cared, but knew that jail and death could be around the corner for him.
