After the scuffle, Case was able to smooth things over enough for Dice and his team not to ask them to leave. The night was young and Case wasn’t about to let some bullshit fight cut it short. The two hundred dollars he had slipped into Dice’s palm helped to make it all go away. Had it been anyone else, Dice would’ve had his team toss them out on their asses, but he knew Case. Letting him stay was the lesser of two evils. With Pain, you knew what you were getting. He would come at you head-on, but Case was sneaky. If Case ended up feeling some type of way over Dice doing his job, Dice would probably have to spend the next few weeks looking over his shoulder, until the petty muthafucka was ready to let it go.

Across the yard, Case watched Jay talking to a young girl in baggy clothes. If he recalled correctly it was his sister or niece. He couldn’t remember, because Jay kept his family dynamics close to his chest. Case hadn’t missed how Jay played the outskirts when Case finally did decide to step in on Pain’s behalf. Jay wasn’t soft, but he picked his battles based on which ones benefited him. Pain held no value. At least not yet. So why run the risk of souring potential business relationships with Lee, or Dice, over a nigga he barely knew? Case always thought that their relationship was tighter than that, but lately Jay had been feeling himself. Their conversation over the guns was further proof of that. Jay suggesting that Case couldn’t handle his order in front of Tyriq could’ve been taken as a sign of disrespect. Case was a general and Jay had addressed him like a bum-ass nigga in front of one of his soldiers. Case wouldn’t make a thing of it right then and there, but after he got what he needed he was going to remind Jay of his place in the pecking order.

“I’d say the dog still has its teeth, wouldn’t you?” Tyriq nudged Case, pulling him from his scheming.

“I’m inclined to agree with that.”

“I never had any doubt. I don’t know why you did either? To keep it funky, I wasn’t feeling that move. Having us fall back while Pain was scrapping,” Tyriq told him. He was a proud and loyal young man, and not immediately coming to the aid of a comrade made him feel like a sucker.

“I was never worried about Pain getting hurt in that fight. If anything, I had my money on him killing one of those fools before it was said and done,” Case said honestly. He knew what kind of monster Pain could be.

“Still, we should’ve popped off with him,” Tyriq insisted.

“I know you would’ve handled it differently, lil bro, but this had to go down the way it did. I need Pain to remember who he is.” Case was about to add to his statement when something caught his attention.
