SEX, MONEY, MURDER

CHAPTER 25

Brick City, the newest strip club in Newark, New Jersey, was quickly building a name for itself for having some of the most premium ladies in the Garden State. It was located in Raymond Plaza, a quiet little strip mall off Raymond Boulevard, which had boasted a party-supply store as its biggest attraction before Brick City came along. Normally the Essex County zoning commission would’ve never allowed a strip club in the area, but the owner’s father was connected to some very important people so they let it slide, provided that they kept the violence to a minimum. To ensure this, the owner had hired off-duty cops to work the door and the main area, but to handle the real headaches he employed some of Newark’s most notorious gangsters. After the first two troublemakers were made examples of in the back alley of Brick City, word had gotten around that this was one spot you didn’t want to come in and try to clown.

Ever since Brick City had opened two months prior, they had always been able to draw a decent crowd, but that night the parking lot was filled to capacity with people still trying to squeeze in. That night was supposed to be the official clap-off between New York and New Jersey—a dozen oiled and primed asses would be smacking together in competition for the ten-stacks that had been offered up for the contest. The event had drawn so much attention that a bunch of women’s rights groups had banned together to try to shut it down, stating that it was morally appalling and painted a horrible picture of women. They were right, but at the end of the day it was all about supply and demand; the people demanded flesh and Brick City supplied it.

The clap-off was the main course, but the appetizers were no less exciting. Several rap and R&B acts would be performing that night but the big draw was a local kid who called himself Lord Scientific. The Newark native had been ripping shows left and right all winter and killing the Internet with his videos and free-style sessions. F.E.D.S. magazine had done a small write-up on him and the journalist was quoted as saying, “Lord Scientific has the energy and delivery of Method Man with the lyrical swiftness that Nas showed us on ‘Halftime.’ Hip-Hop … you have a problem!” The women had brought the ballers out, but it was Lord Scientific whom the goons came to see.

In addition to bringing out celebrities, the event had also attracted a slew of gangstas and underworld figures, most notably the infamous Shai Clark, boss of all bosses. The bulletproof town car carrying Poppa Clark’s youngest son and his entourage pulled into the strip mall and was immediately guided by security to the front of the club, where the owner and several of his personal security staff stood waiting.

“Damn, look at this shit.” Angelo peered out the window of the car at the crowd.
