The Takeover

by Meesha

  “We have to get you to the hood doctor now, Rodrigo. I don’t know how long this gauze will hold and you need stitches,” I said as I taped the gauze in place.

  “Do I look like I’m dying, Beast? This shit can wait, we got moves to make and I’m not missing out on it. Drive this muthafucka and get me to some more bodies.”

  I wanted to punch him in his shit but I had to remember he wasn’t himself. Letting that shit slide, I merged back into traffic and pushed my whip to the Westside. My phone chimed and a message from Ricio came through. Responding I explained Rodrigo getting shot and that we were on our way to the next destination.

  So far taking down Big Jim’s empire had been a piece of cake, but I had a feeling shit was going to get worse before it got better. Ricio texted me again letting me know they were waiting in the back alley. I pulled up behind his car and got out. When Rodrigo got out and Ricio saw the blood on his shirt, he rushed over to him quickly.

  “You good, brah? Let me,” Ricio said reaching for his arm.

  “Nigga, I’m good. You won’t be able to see shit unless the gauze is removed. We don’t have time for all that shit. We got more important shit to worry about right now,” he said snatching away. “Y’all go to the front door and we will hit the back, kick that bitch in after twenty seconds. We hittin’ these niggas wit no hesitation. Don’t slip because the last trap knew we were comin’ and they were ready. Keep y’all eyes wide the fuck open,” Rodrigo said snatching out his twin Nina’s.

  We split up and when we heard the front door cave in, I kicked the back door once and it flew open. It was quiet as fuck inside the trap and when I flipped the switch, the lights didn’t come on. I knew at that point this was planned and they also knew we would hit their spot.

  After clearing the entire trap, Ricio and Rodrigo went to the stash spot and that bitch was empty. Everything had been cleaned out and there wasn’t a worker in sight. I was confused as to how they would know we were coming that particular day.

  “These nigga’s were tipped off, but how?” I said out loud.

  “Shit, I don’t know but I‘ll find out,” Ricio said eyeing Psycho.

  “I’m tired of you niggas thinking I’m a snitch ass nigga! Stop comin’ for me every muthafuckin’ time something goes wrong in y’all plans! I’m not my daddy! As fucked up as the position I’m in is, I’ve been with y’all all damn day! In a minute I’m just gon’ let you muthafuckas do what the fuck y’all want to do anyway. Just know, I’m not going out like a pussy! We all gon’ die when the shit comes to it. This didn’t have shit to do with me!” Psycho said speaking his mind.

  “Nah, nigga this didn’t have nothing to do with you. I think this one may be mine,” Rodrigo said laughing.

  “What the fuck did you do, Rodrigo?” Ricio asked angrily.

  “I made them niggas, come out of hiding. That’s what the fuck I did! Y’all sitting around twiddling y’all thumbs waiting for their asses to come to y’all, ain’t nobody got time for that bullshit! I went to that nigga Red’s crib. His bitch opened the door and I found out where that nigga was. After killing that bitch and her kids, I delivered his daughter’s head to his ass at the motel they were at. Nothing major,” he said putting a stick of gum in his mouth.

  “We knew that shit already, brah. All you had to do was ask,” Ricio said walking up on him. “You need to calm yo’ ass clean the fuck down! You got nine bodies on your hands, stop going out by yo’ damn self!”

  “If I didn’t move, we would still be in the same position that we were when this shit first started. I’ve killed more muthafuckas than everybody as a whole. Get out my face and get ya weight up. Instead of being in my face you should be putting’ your foot in that niggas ass,” Rodrigo said pointing at Psycho. “I dare you tell me to do what I’ve been wanting to do. Ain’t shit here, lets ride,” Rodrigo laughed walking out the back door.

  “We definitely need to get him some help,” Felon said sadly. “I understand he wants justice for Max, shit we all do. But every time we’ve met up, his ass done killed umpteen mufuckas, that shit is some borderline serial killer type shit.” I couldn’t stop myself from laughing because of the way Felon said the shit. He was legit scared of Rodrigo.

  “Let me find out yo’ ass scared of that nigga,” Ricio said walking out the back door.

  Rodrigo was propped on the side of my whip smoking a blunt without a care in the world. His ass was crazy as fuck and I hadn’t grasped that shit either. I had to hurry up and get his ass to the place he called home before he made other plans. It was time to get ready for the event none of us were ready for.

  “Hurry the fuck up! I need to go home and get some sleep. A nigga tired from sending muthafuckas to hell by my muthafuckin’ self!” he said blowing smoke from his nose.

  “Yo’ ass need to go get stitched up. That’s what we are doing before you bleed on my interior,” I said standing in front of him. “Get in the car, nephew.

  “Beast, you are not the boss of me, nigga—”

  “Get in the muthafuckin’ car, brah! Why the fuck do you always have to battle the people that’s ridin’ with yo’ ass? Listen to what the fuck we are trying to tell your hotheaded ass!” Ricio screamed at him.

  I was glad he said something to him because I was about to yoke his deranged ass up off his feet. There was only so much disrespect I was willing to take from him. Rodrigo looked at Ricio, snubbing out his blunt. His eyes remained on his brother as he walked around the car and opened the door. He got in and sat back without another word.

  “Unc, I have to go check on Nija, get him to the doctor for me. I can’t wait for Sosa to bring his ass back out. I’m real close to shooting Rodrigo’s ass my damn self.”

  “He’ll be alright, I got him. Be careful out here, Ricio. These niggas got one up on us now that Rodrigo done killed those damn kids,” I said staring at Rodrigo through the window. “We got two more days, then we can get our lives on track. Oh, get the money out of my trunk. Rodrigo hit they ass on 26th. There were more niggas than expected over there too. We laid them down but two got away.”

  “I got what was rightfully ours on 16th too. This trap was the biggest one of them all, but they knew to get that shit outta of there. They gon’ show up at the funeral, Beast. I can feel it,” Ricio said looking around.

  “We will be ready for their asses too. I’ll see you tomorrow at the funeral home for the wake, right?”

  “Nah, I don’t think I can see my little brother lying in a casket two days in a row. If anything pops off, hit me up and I will come running. Other than that, I won’t be there. I’ll see you Friday,” he said giving me a hug. “I appreciate you going to war with us, Beast. Thank you.”

  “You don’t need to thank me, that’s what family does for one another. I owe it to Reese to bring these muthafuckas down,” I said opening the door and getting in my whip. Watching Ricio drive off, I headed to the expressway to drop Psycho and Fats at their cars before I took Rodrigo to get checked out.

  ***

  After the doctor stitched Rodrigo up, I took him back to the warehouse to get his car and I trailed him home. With the wake being the next day, I wanted to make sure he got there safely. If his mindset was fucked up before, it was going to be ten times that come tomorrow. None of us had seen Max since the night he was shot in the hospital. The only person that had seen him was Sin.

  She had been in a fucked up mood since she dropped his clothes off at the funeral home. I was glad she took care of everything because that was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do when Reese passed away. It was something I couldn’t do again.

  Pushing the button on the garage opener, I pulled my car inside and sat there until the door closed completely. As I exited and walked to the door that led to the kitchen, I could hear Sin’s voice loud and clear. The anger I heard couldn’t be ignored and I knew she and Madysen was going at, again.

  “You haven’t eaten shit all day, Madysen! How the hell is that healthy? I will tie your
ass to a chair and force feed yo’ stupid ass! You said that you would do what you had to do for the baby, but you lied! You are trying to starve yourself and I don’t know how many times I have to tell you it ain’t about you! Deep down you want me to kill yo’ muthafuckin’ ass but that’s not gonna happen!” Sin was heard yelling.

  I took that moment to enter the house and Sin was standing over Madysen with her fist balled up. Madysen was sitting like she was bored with hearing what Sin had to say. Her right leg was bouncing ferociously and she stared straight ahead.

  “Sin, step back!” I said grabbing her by the arm.

  “I can’t help her if she doesn’t want to help herself, Beast. This is a lose lose situation. This is her fight and she is giving up!”

  Sin, I didn’t ask you to help me with nothing. I’ve said it over and over that I don’t want this baby without Max! You won’t listen to what I’m saying. That’s your problem not mine!” Madysen said shaking her head.

  “You don’t have a muthafuckin’ choice! You’re carrying a human being in your body, a whole damn baby with a heartbeat. Bitch—”

  “Sincere, go upstairs for me, baby. I got this,” I said stopping her from saying anything else.

  I knew Sin was highly upset and the last thing I wanted her to do was hit the girl. Now was the time for me to have a one on one with Madysen. She needed to understand the importance of eating and taking her vitamins. Sin left the kitchen and came back faster than she'd exited.

  “Beast, you better talk to her before I beat her ass! This is the second time you have stopped me from telling her the harsh truth that she needs to hear. You won’t be around next time. Madysen, make that the last time you pop off at me. You may not have asked for my help, but I’m the only one that’s been around to talk yo’ ungrateful ass off the edge. Tough love is all I have to offer. Take it, or get the fuck out!” she said leaving again and stomping up the stairs.

  Sighing long and hard, I took a seat beside Madysen at the table. She was biting her nails and her leg was still bouncing. I cleared my throat and folded my hands in front of me. Madysen kept glancing over at me nervously but she didn’t speak.

  “Madysen, I know it’s hard right now with the loss of Max. There is nothing we can do to bring him back. If there was, I would bring him back in a heartbeat. That’s not how life works. Max wouldn’t want you to dwindle away in your sorrows. He would want you to live your life to the fullest. He may not be here physically to guide you through the hurt, but he left something on this earth that will love you just as much as he did. That’s the baby that’s growing inside of you right now. I need you to take better care of yourself for the baby’s sake. Sin and I will be here to help you through. Ricio and Sosa are not going to turn their backs on you either. Max lives in the hearts of all of us, but you will get the full effect of him once that little boy comes into the world. I don’t want you to give up on life. Give the baby as well as yourself a chance to make my nephew proud.”

  Tears streamed down her face and into her mouth. Madysen looked like a broken woman who didn’t want to get out of the depression that she was in. Every mention of the baby she was carrying, made her cringe. I looked around the kitchen and noticed a plate with fried tilapia, spaghetti, and garlic bread sitting on the counter. Standing up, I walked over and put it in the microwave.

  The timer sounded and I grabbed a fork and placed the plate in front of her. “Would you eat a little bit for me, for the baby, Madysen?” I asked. She looked over at the plate and wiped her face before picking up the fork.

  Madysen ate slowly but it didn’t matter to me, as long as she was eating. I would do all that I could for her. It would be up to her if she accepted what I offered. She must have been hungry as hell because she finished every morsel and I got up and grabbed a bottled water from the fridge. She drank it and stood up with the plate in hand.

  “I’ll take care of that for you. Did you take your vitamins today?”

  “Yeah, sergeant Sin made sure of that,” she chuckled. I’m going to lie down, I’m tired,” she said walking out of the kitchen.

  I put the dishes in the dishwasher and made my way upstairs. Sin was about to talk hella shit but I was ready to shut her ass up. As soon as I walked in the room, Sin was oiling her legs and looked up at me. Her face twisted up and she paused mid rub on her leg.

  “You need to stop babying her ass, Beast! This shit is getting out of hand. Madysen needs to get her mind together. I swear on everything I love, if she does something to hurt that baby, I’m gonna kill that bitch,” she said seriously.

  “Sin, she needs time. The funeral is in a couple days and I believe after that, the healing will begin for her. You have to be patient, baby.”

  “My patience is running thin. I don’t know how much more I can take. It’s barely been a week and shit ain’t getting no better. I will hurt her, Beast!”

  I walked over to her and rubbed the remaining oil into her leg. Sin tried to remove her leg from my grasp but I was done with the subject of Madysen. All I wanted to do was get deep in something warm and wet. Sin had just what I needed to get the details of the day off my mind. I needed peace and I was going to get it.

  “Lay back,” I said seductively but she didn’t budge. Running my hands up and down her leg, I moved upward closer to her honey and grazed her outer lips. A low moan escaped her throat. Replacing my hand with my tongue, I drew circles on the thick mound above her lips. That was her hot spot.

  I used my fingers to move all the fatty meat upward revealing her bud. My mouth watered and I moved closer to watch her juices flow. Flattening my tongue, I stroked her a couple times and her back automatically hit the bed. I lifted her legs with the crook of my arms and buried my face deep into her treasure cave.

  “Ssssssss, aaaaaaahhhhh, yeah,” she said softly.

  I swallowed her nectar and continued to devour her clit. It grew larger with every suckle I applied to it. Dipping my tongue in and out of her hole, I felt her wetness cover my tongue and I loved every bit of it. Gripping her nipple between my thumb and forefinger, I squeezed tightly and felt her legs tremble. She was almost ready to explode.

  “Oh shit, Beast! Suck harder.”

  I obliged and a sea of her juices poured out like a tsunami down my throat. She was breathing hard and I wasn’t about to give her time to come down from the high I had her on. I raised up off the floor and unbuckled my pants swiftly. Pulling my member out of my boxers, I guided myself into her hot hole. Moving in and out slowly, I fell forward making sure I didn’t put all of my weight on her.

  Sin ran her nails down my back and opened her legs wider for me to go in deeper. I knew what she wanted but I didn’t want to give it all to her at once. When she pushed my ass into her, I knew then she wasn’t willing to wait. I got on my knees and pushed her legs over her head. Balling her up like a pretzel I rocked my dick in and out of her twat. Making it hit her spine with every stroke.

  “Aaaaaaah! Beat this pussy baby!” she screamed.

  With Madysen in the crib, I was glad I’d gotten the walls soundproofed when I had it built. Sin was making all types of noise and not giving a fuck that we had a guest in the house. She was throwing herself back on me, meeting me stroke for stroke. The tip of my mans was hitting her gspot repeatedly and her walls closed in on me. She was trying to drain me of all my unborn kids and I couldn’t do shit about it. Dislodging myself from her tunnel, I tapped her on the thigh.

  “Roll yo’ fine ass over and get in position,” I said wiping the sweat from my forehead. She turned over seductively and arched her back just the way I liked it.

  Her ass was round and looked good enough to eat, and that’s exactly what I did. Running my tongue down the crack of her ass, I fucked her hole before I eased my tool back into her warm kitty. Hitting her hard from the back, I held on to her waist and got deep inside of her. Sticking my thumb into her asshole, she jerked back on my member and bounced wildly while I opened up her ass.

  “
Yes! Get it ready, daddy! You know I want you to hit that shit!” she said as she massaged my balls between her legs.

  “Oh, that’s what you want, Sin?” I asked snatching myself out of her pussy. Licking her ass for good measure, I inserted the tip into her dookie shoot and she bucked like a donkey. Sin was a freak and she loved when I fucked her in her ass. Putting her hand between her legs, she rubbed her clit vigorously. Her asshole closed around my dick and I knew I was done after that. Holding my nut was getting harder as I pounded in and out of her.

  “I’m about to cum, Beast! Hit that shit, baby!”

  “Oh, yeah! I’m right there with you baby. Let that shit go, Sin!”

  I rode her ass like she was a prized stallion. Spanking her on her ass made her squirt from her pussy and made me cum all in her ass.

  “Aaaaaaaah! Yesssssss!” she screamed soaking the sheets and falling face first onto the pillow. I was still cumming in her ass so I went down with her and rolled over still connected to her from the back. She cuddled up against my chest and I kissed her on the cheek before I laid my head back and went to sleep.

  Chapter 15

  Rodrigo

  It seemed as if I had just closed my eyes when the ringing of my cellphone woke me. Snatching it from under my pillow, I recognized the number from the funeral home on the display. I cleared my throat before answering because it was dry as fuck.

  “Yeah,” I said into the phone quickly.

  “Sosa—”

  “It’s Rodrigo, muthafucka! What do you want so early in the morning? The wake ain’t until later.”

  “I—I was calling because you advised me to contact you if anything concerning your brother’s service arose. Someone by the name of Warden Fitzpatrick from Danville Correctional Facility called a couple days ago. He informed me that a James Carter would be arriving at nine in the morning to say his goodbyes to your brother. Maximo’s wake starts at eleven—”
