ONE month into me and Red getting acquainted in our hustle spot, we were moving the weight at great speed. We became close buddies, but I still had my guard up, as I wanted to get closer to Silencer. Now that we wasn’t at the bottom spot—street-level dealing—we had more time to go places hanging outside the spot. We frequented the mall, catching movies and riding around.

I was finding out a lot of things about Red by him being a big talker. I was glad Silencer paired us up, because I could use Red as an information tool to get in closer to Silencer. Some days, I would just sit back and listen to Red talk, finding out he was really into vagina, clothes, and weed. One day, we were talking, and I asked him how long he was hustling and why he started. I wasn’t surprised by his answer. His father was involved with hustling, and his mother was a drug user by way of his father, so he had nobody to turn to for money and food.

As we were talking, I was thinking of a story I could use for my excuse for hustling, which was not going to be hard, because I had already told them when I was buying weed that I had lost my job. Good enough for me. I knew Red was a good hustler, but when it came to putting two and two together, he wasn’t really book smart. I told him I felt his pain when he was done telling me his story. I was telling him I had no father at all, because my father had left my mother and me when I was six years old to be with another woman. I remember him coming over one time after that to bring me a Christmas gift, and I never seen him again.

This conversation exposed us to each other. Only mine was made up. His was true. I felt bad for him but knew he was still involved with doing bad things that he didn’t have to. We ended the conversation at that to play a game of Madden. I wasn’t never into playing video games, so I wasn’t any good at them. To make it look like I knew how to play, I skimmed through the book to find out how to pass and run so it would look like I knew what I was I was doing. I picked the Dolphins as my team. Red chose the Packers. He was always animated when playing the game. It was like he got a chance to be a kid that he never was. The game started. He won the toss, so he got the ball first. He was excited, telling me to get ready for an ass whippin’. I played into the hype, saying, “You talk a good talk, but I don’t think so.” I got my ass kicked 56 to 7. The only reason I got 7 was because I got a lucky interception at my 12-yard line.
