CHAPTER 16

Bull and Pooh were on their way to Gary to meet some reporter with the incriminating pictures of King Cobra and a couple of Gary politicians making a drug buy with the Columbians. They planned to expose the entire drug operation to the Press and skip town.

“How much do we have?” Pooh asked. “The plane reservations are set. By this time tomorrow, we will be sitting on the beach in Rio de Janeiro.”

“We have a little over two million dollars total,” Bull answered. “One million that we stole from some rival drug dealers, and I just ripped off Maurice for a million and change. We are going to live like kings down there. One dollar is like three in Brazil.”

“Did you make a bid on the house?”

“Yeah, we are going to get it for $35,000. Four bedrooms and two baths.”

“Solid. I can imagine all of the girls that we are going to have in that house…partying everyday of the week.”

“Yeah, this is the life that we always talked about. It’s nothing here for us anymore. They don’t want to give a brother a chance with a criminal record.”

“And no more slinging dope for the Cobras. They have had me boxed in a corner for too long…be grateful that you got out of the game when you did.”

“The game never really leaves you, Pooh. I stopped slinging dope for the Cobras, but I didn’t stop hustling. I sold weed to some of my clientele at the barbershop, and I boosted clothes from the warehouse trucks that I robbed.”

“I guess you had to find a way to pay for this gas guzzler. What are we going to do until three o’clock?”

“We can go to your crib and pack the things that you’re taking with you. We can wire the money to our offshore account with this fence I found in Justice and drive to Miami after we meet with this reporter.”

“Cool, I’m only taking one bag, and the rest of my stuff can stay behind. Hey, what are you going to do with this truck?”

“I’m selling it to a guy in Miami. I placed an ad on a free classifieds website and found a buyer. He’s going to meet us at the airport with the money and take the truck.”

“How much are you selling it for?”

“Twenty thousand. It has fifty thousand miles on it, and I needed to get rid of it fast.”

Pooh lives in northwest Gary—about two minutes away from the abandoned warehouses. It was a few minutes past two o’clock, and they parked in front of Pooh’s apartment to gather up his things. They were all smiles as they envisioned their new life in Brazil. Pooh never finished high school, and in his mind, selling drugs was the only way that he could achieve the American Dream.

“Damn, when is your landlord going to cut the grass?” Bull asked. “This shit looks terrible.”

“The only time I see that bastard in when the rent is due,” Pooh answered. “Trying to get him to fix things is like trying to contact the President.
