We had a crack house on 140th Avenue that wasn’t necessarily a crack house but the house of a crack fiend who wanted so many hits so often that she let us take over her crib after she had run out of things to sell. The fiend was cool with the arrangement. She let us push crack out of the spot and do what we had to do as long as we gave her smoke. Her daughter was on some other shit, though, and always talking about, “This my momma house.”

The daughter had problems with everything—there were too many people going in and out, we didn’t clean up after ourselves. It didn’t matter that even before we got there the place was a filthy crack den and anything of value had been sold or smoked away. After all, it was her momma’s house, and no one could disrespect her in her momma’s house. She didn’t stop complaining, even after Butter shot her in the leg. Her shit was crazy.

When I got to the crack house, I saw the daughter next to it, clutching her left knee. There was blood in the driveway and a bullet hole in the side of the house. These niggas are inside watching TV. I couldn’t believe that shit, like, There’s a fuckin’ fiend with a fuckin’ bullet in her leg in the fuckin’ backyard and these niggas are watching TV. I made Markie hose down the driveway while Butter and I dumped off the shot fiend at a hospital in Nassau. But I swear that those niggas would have just left her out there.

Not long after that incident, the house was robbed. Everyone figured it was a setup, because Donavan knocked on the door before some guys came in with guns and caught the place for, like, two thousand dollars’ worth of pieces. Grits and Butter took issue with Ray-Ray because he had the gun, so he was supposed to secure the place. But they ultimately held Donavan responsible for knocking on the door. Three nights later, Grits and Butter kidnapped Donavan and drove him to a remote location near City Island in the Bronx. They brought Ray-Ray along and told him that either he shoot Donavan or they were going to shoot him. Ray-Ray shot Donavan point-blank in the head, but somehow Donavan lived. I knew something was changing in me when I felt that Donavan would have been better off dead. The price of life was getting cheaper and cheaper.
