Ta’Shara

The police had been sweating Profit for months. But after a while, they had to fall back to their regularly scheduled program. He still had a court date for the illegal firearm, but he and his people seem to think that he’ll be able to beat that charge. He had contradicted my story to the police by taking full responsibility for the weapon. The witness in the hospital lobby stuck to his story that Profit was actually a hero that night and saved his life, so that’s a good thing in his favor. The main solid Profit is doing is not ratting to the cops where he got the gun. The muthafucka is clearly hot, since the serial number is filed off, but the ballistic reports couldn’t place it at that shooting in Orange Mound.

Essence been sweating bullets and blowing up my phone every chance she gets. I understand. The last thing E wants to explain to the Gangster Disciples and the Queen Gs is how and why Fat Ace’s little brother got hold her shit and mowed down members of their own set. I keep telling her to be cool, but the bitch is like a little Chihuahua and wrecking my nerves.

Profit will never do her dirty, and on that she’s just going to have to trust me.

Meanwhile, the streets are still hot, and Fat Ace is still a wanted man with the Gangster Disciples. Niggas are now speculating that Fat Ace has nine lives, since he survived the five slugs he took at the hospital. The Vice Lords are resourceful if nothing else. Fat Ace’s right-hand chick, Lucifer, pulled some real gangsta shit and saved Ace’s life.

What makes me nervous is that Profit sounds more and more like he wants to finally clique up with the Vice Lords. Shit. I think he’s done it already and is just looking for the best way to let me in on the program. It ain’t like I don’t understand. There’s no such thing as a free agent in the street game. Everybody needs someone to watch they back. And when you have family as powerful as Fat Ace, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what’s coming.

I just want him to lie to me just a little longer.

Profit glances up at me. “I love you.”

My head springs up from the library book propped open on the table in front of me, and I stop playing footsie with him under the table. “Shhh.” I glance around and giggle. “Someone might hear you.”

“Like I give a fuck.” His sexy lips stretch across his face as he leans forward and braids our hands together. For the last two months, I’ve been grounded. The Douglases have only allowed me to go to school, track, and the public library. Embarrassingly enough, Tracee drives me there and picks me up, ensuring that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I ain’t going to lie. The trust bond between me and the Douglases has seriously been severed, and I’m afraid that it will never be repaired.
