Chapter Eight

Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Poetry Wright ...

As usual, McDonald’s on Kingshighway and Natural Bridge was the hangout. I spotted Raylo in the far corner, eating some fries and licking the salt from his fingers. I hurried to join him at the table.

“So, what’s the word?” I asked.

“Word is you got yourself and yo’ mama in some deep, deep trouble. I found out who that fool was who you met today and his name is Geronimo. They call him G for short and his brother was the one who you killed at the lounge that day. One of my partners who know G says that he got some connections with some important people in St. Louis, includin’ the chief of police. Don’t know if he’s tryin’ to set you up, but G is money hungry. Him and his brother really didn’t get along, so in a sense, you really did do him a favor. I don’t think he’s trippin’ off his brother as much as he says he is, but it’s his way of gettin’ some of your dough. As far as Shante is concerned, my partner, Carlos, is one hundred percent sure that G has her somewhere. G’s posse is real tight, so Carlos don’t think nobody will slip up and tell where she is. He suggest that we get as much money as we can together, and take it to G. Says he’s not the kind of nigga who will turn down no money, and the best we can do is get someone like this fool off your back.”

I frowned the whole time Raylo was talking. “At this point, all I care about is Mama. Can somebody just tell me if she’s alive? That’s all I want to know, and as soon as I know that, we can work out the money thing.”

“Prince, I know how you are, but you can’t be callin’ the shots all the time. Sometimes you gotta play by other people’s rules, especially if they’re the ones holdin’ all the cards. We don’t want nothin’ to happen to Shante, and since we’re workin’ with five days, I’d say a li’l cooperation is needed. Now, I got some ideas about gettin’ some more money, and I’m willin’ to do whatever I gotta do to come up with somethin’ on my end. I know you said that you wasn’t workin’ with what his demands were, but with niggas like G, word is ... one must do their best to come correct.”

“I ... I can swing about seventy-five ... maybe a hundred. After that, I’d have to start diggin’ deep, sellin’ and pawnin’ some things to get the rest.”

Raylo looked around, making sure that no one was watching us. He took a chunk out of his Big Mac, then wiped his mouth. “I know where I can get the money from, but I may need your help. Can I count on it?”

“I guess it depends on what it is. I’m not gon’ rob no banks or nothin’ like that, but what you talkin’ about?”

“This nigga I know, Ernie Wells, won the lottery.
