Apple stared at Hood resolutely and asked him, “What’s the problem?”

Hood tossed her a few heroin packages stamped with the Queen of New York logo. There was one problem, though. The stamp was blue.

“Someone’s been using our trademark and selling it on the streets, profiting from our name,” Hood said.

The news was upsetting, and Apple immediately knew Queenie was behind the infringement. “That bitch got fuckin’ balls.”

“What you want us to do about it?” Hood asked.

Apple stared at the phony package in her hand and thought about it. They all were waiting for her reply.

“Is it any good?” she wanted to know.

“It’s 90% pure for half the price. The fiends can’t really tell the difference. Everyone is now asking for Queen of New York with the blue stamp, not the red.”

Queenie was turning out to be a worthy adversary. The younger woman with the unique look, unconventional business habits, and questionable sanity actually knew how to problem solve. Apple was impressed if not shocked. She looked at Hood and IG, and their faces were frozen in scowls. Queenie was taking money out of their mouths. Both had signed on under Apple’s tutelage, but she was taking a huge risk by not plugging a hole that was leaking. Apple had shared that Queenie had come after her twice, but now she was interfering in their business.

Hardheartedly, she locked eyes with her lieutenants and said to them, “Let her keep that stamp. If she wants to infringe on my brand and take our customers, then we’ll make sure that she has fewer customers to steal.”

IG asked, “How? You know fiends ain’t loyal.”

“Cut the heroin with fentanyl.”

“The pure heroin mixed with fentanyl will be a lethal dose for most fiends. They won’t be able to handle the product. Dead dope heads will put us out of business.”

“It’ll put her out of business. Use the blue stamp and flood the streets,” she ordered. “Our Queen of New York is dead. Make a new stamp and call it, Kiss the Ring. That should get that bitch’s attention.”

“You already got her attention, and it’s bad for business,” IG assessed. “If no one else is gonna speak up, then I will. Innocent people shouldn’t be the casualties of you and Queenie’s war. Fiends or not, they’re still human beings.”

IG was taking it personally because his mother was addicted to drugs, and he watched it wreak havoc on her mind and body. She was addicted to crack not heroin, but he still felt some kind of way. What if the dope boys sold his mother contaminated crack vials just to settle some silly presumed disrespect between two females going to war over a sideways look?

“Do I look like I give a fuck!” Apple shouted.

“That’s crazy—you gonna have bodies dropping all over the city,” IG continued to counsel her.

“IG, I’m not gonna repeat myself. What you won’t do another will. Choose, nigga!”

IG looked at Hood and realized he didn’t have his back. Hood stood stonefaced and erect like a yes-nigga.
