“Virgin UK flight 218 has now landed. Welcome to Atlanta.”

Damn it was good to be back. By back, I meant in the A. London wasn’t all the way good to me, but it schooled me. The past six months there was spent dealing with niggas and broads coming left and right at us since we had chopped down that nigga Dante’s kingdom and his little imp sidekick. After that, wasn’t nothing peaceful about London for me, but I survived it. I swallowed my pride two months after everything and stepped to my uncle.

Watching Ghost heal, seeing the small changes in her after coming from Dante’s hands was what made me do it. Shit wasn’t math for a brotha. She’d been hurt and that shit burned in my body like acid. Wasn’t nothing I was used to at all, but watching how my unk watched us all, I saw in his eyes what I was feeling. So I squashed my beef and sat with him, learned, and told him I’d open his throat from ear to ear like the Joker if he played me and mine again. Blood ain’t supposed to do what he did, but I got it, and that was his one time with me, feel me?

He hipped me to how he and my pops grew up. Dirty in the streets of the BK. Surviving however they could just to keep fresh, but also to get dough before they were snatched up by his great-grandpops and schooled on real OG knowledge. They learned knowledge that was mixed with religious and Nigerian principles, which changed everything for them.

I sat and soaked it all up. Everything that was in both my pop’s and mom’s journals came to light and synched up through the words spilling from my uncle. As he schooled me, I watched my fam. Big Jake would sit and learn, as would Ghost, just to be near me. Gina and Diamond would sit with Anika as Diamond began her lessons too.

When we weren’t sitting and learning game, and dodging the dietary lessons my unk wanted us to favor, I’d train Ghost, Chyna, Ray-Ray, and Baby G some of my moves. Speedy would teach them ways to hide weapons and craft them, Big Jake would teach them how to box and shoot, while I made them all repeat the principles I learned in my books. Every day we’d all shift off, where I would train with my boys, and vice versa and every day we’d all get stronger.

How I trained, the shit wasn’t easy. I made all the women cry in some way but I had to. The streets weren’t going to be gentle because they were chicks and they needed to never forget that.

“Pay attention, Ghost,” I said firmly as I clapped my bandaged hands twice.

The frustration on Ghost’s baby face had her features contorted as I gained her attention.
