Python is back.

I return to the crib to see that he’s already up and moving around. He looks like he’s still in pain, but he’s doing what he’s got to do. I’m not going to worry about the fever in his eyes. I’m sure in a few days that he’ll be able to shake that shit off. Meanwhile, he’s inhaling a plate of food like he ain’t ate shit in weeks.

“Morning, baby. I left you some food on the stove.”

“Nigga, you cooked?” I walk into the kitchen to verify the shit myself. “What’s the fucking special occasion?”

“No occasion. I got up early ’cause I got some business meetings lined up today. Gotta get our shipments and arms back up so I can get more money in our soldiers’ pockets.”

I like the sound of that shit. “Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. I sent June Bug and Kane to round up the chief enforcers and deputies. Time to do some restructuring and take back some of the land we done lost.”

“Does that mean we’re going back to Shotgun Row?”

“Naw.” He shakes his head. “Not with this mug shot. Pigs will pick my ass up before we even get in the door good.”

My smile falls.

“But we’re going back to Memphis,” he says, turning my smile around. “There’s this one crib that I’ve been eyeballing that may be perfect and off the police grid while we rebuild.”

“Oh yeah?” My nigga is finally saying all the shit I want to hear.

Python waves me back to the dining room table and then pats his lap for me to take a seat. “Thanks, babe.”

“For what?”

“For keeping your damn foot up my ass these past few months. If it hadn’t been for your damn stubbornness, we’d be sipping on margaritas in Tijuana or some shit.”

“Nah. That shit will never be me.” I tug on his ear and then plant a fat kiss on his lips. “But I’m ready to ride by your side and take these damn streets back.”

“That’s what the fuck I’m talking about.” He winks and then smacks me on my ass.

Kane does his special knock on the door, letting us know that it’s him.

“I’ll get it.” I don’t want Python overexerting himself. I open the door and, sure enough, Kane and June Bug rush inside, both looking as though they’ve seen a ghost. “What the hell is wrong with you two?”

“King Isaac wants to see you,” Kane announces, stumbling over his own tongue.

“What?” Python and I say in unison.

“He’s out.” June Bug bobs his head. “He got out two days ago. When we rolled over to Shotgun Row, he told us that he was handling Momma Peaches’s funeral and that he wanted to meet.”

Python pushes up onto his feet. “Where at?”

My mind races. What the hell does this mean? Has my king been bumped down to a prince? I now have two muthafuckas crouching in on my territory? What kind of shit is this?

“He gave us an address for a warehouse out in Frayser.”

“Let’s go,” Python says, wincing in pain as he walks.
