A week later I found myself worn out and panting for breath in Tato’s bed. My mother had Tristan so I was able to creep out and meet up with the man who truly held the key to my heart. Tato had a small room out in Upper Darby, a small town right outside of Philly. He never slept and shit in the same place.

Being with Tato made me feel at peace. We talked for hours. I told him about how Rahdee wasn’t shit, as well as how my son and I were back living with my mom. He told me how things had gotten rough for him after the fire at his aunt’s house and Sierra hit the road and went to Norfolk. Right in the middle of the deep conversation, Tato started to caress my arm and turned to face me.

“Day, I need to ask you something…But first I want to say, you don’t have to worry about shit else. You got ya man back. I’m gon take care of you and the young boi from this point on. I’m gon get us another crib and we gon be good. Just like before, but better…I always came through right?” he asked, caressing my cheek. I nodded my head in agreement.

“Even though I did my shit, I always took care of you right?” he asked. I nodded my head again.

“Well boo, I need your help to make some shit happen. Us living in this room ain’t gon cut it…I know a way we can make some good money real quick.”

“How,” I naively asked, with my eyes searching his for answers.

“I’m gon jack a few niggas,” he answered. Okayyyy, I thought. And? I already knew this was how he made his money in the past, but what the fuck could I help with. I wasn’t sure where Tato was going with this conversation

“Okay Tato, but how do I come into that equation. How am I going to make something happen with you,” I asked, unknowingly taking the bait.

“You gonna lure the niggas in,” he responded bluntly. “I don’t know if Sierra told you or not but we used to be a team…A force to be reckoned with out here in Philly…Sierra would set niggas up for me and I would make them come off their bread…We made a lot of money doing that shit and I know if me and you hit a couple niggas, we could be right where we need to be.” He waited for a response.

“Tato are you fucking crazy?” I asked, bewildered, raising up from the bed and looking at him like he had lost his mind. I was down for my crown but definitely not with setting niggas up. People got killed for shit like that and it all made sense now why Sierra hightailed it out of Philly and her mom’s house wound up burnt down to the ground.

“What the fuck you mean am I crazy?” he asked, quickly switching up his demeanor on me.
