CHAPTER 17

Monk was dead tired when he got home that evening. He had been out robbing, stealing, and getting higher than an airplane for the past few days and he was ready to crash and sleep, before getting up to do it all over again. His old friend Face would be ashamed to see what he had let his life become, and he wasn’t too happy with himself either.

When Face went away, and Charlene was killed, everything changed. Face had been his heart and Charlene his soul; with them gone he slipped into a dark place. Monk was still getting money on the streets, but his heart was no longer in it. He had become a shell of the man he was and life held no more joy for him. If it hadn’t been for the fact that he was the only person in the world Li’l Monk had left, he would’ve probably swallowed a bullet years ago. To cope, Monk substituted love with drugs. He spent his nights binging on cocaine and pills, while partying with random women, leaving others to take care of his business. His so-called friends bled him slowly, and Monk was so coked up half the time that he didn’t even notice it. By the time he realized what was going on, their operation was nearly in shambles and over half his soldiers had either gone to work for someone else or struck out on their own. Monk had a lifestyle and a habit so he had to find a way to keep money coming in, so he started robbing to make ends meet.

He hooked up with Scooter and his sister Sissy, and concocted a scam that would net him a nice haul with each lick. Sissy was always on the arm of one hustler or another and she started setting her dates up to get robbed by Monk and Scooter. In the beginning it was sweet and it kept the three of them in money, cocaine, and booze, but it didn’t take long before their habits got in the way of their business. Sissy had set cut into some players from Atlanta who were in New York on business, and set them up to be robbed by Monk and Scooter. The plan was for Monk to rob the dudes in their hotel room and Scooter was to be waiting for him in front in the getaway car. Scooter was so coked up that he got the instructions wrong and was parked in front of a different hotel two blocks away. Monk ended up fleeing on foot, but the police caught him five blocks from the scene. The dudes from Atlanta were drug dealers, so they didn’t report the robbery, but Monk had a gun on him at the time of his capture and was given two years for it. When he got out of prison, what little bit he’d been holding on to was gone, and the only things waiting for him were his son and his demons.
