Everyone was confused and looking around trying to figure
out who she was referring to, but no one spoke up. From under
the bed Envie was just as puzzled “Who is Boss?” She asked
herself in a whisper, but didn’t dare come out of her hiding
place. Solo gave the lesbians the okay and they hauled Kima
and Trije’ana out of the door and down the hall kicking and
screaming.
“Boss! Boss! You aint gon’ say nothing? Fuck you Boss, fuck
you—you a dirty muthafucka!” Kima screamed as she was
pulled away.
With all of their guns still locked, Bishop focused his
attention on the dude who’s arm trembled reflectively in aim.
“Boss,” Bishop said out loud. He slowly he began to remember
that name and why it now so sounded familiar. Steebo grimly
winked an eye at Bishop with a twisted smirked, Bishop
winked back. The tension in the air was thick; man with the
trembling arm panicked and was the first to fire. Shots rang out
through the air, Solo was hit in the leg then in stomach, Lalow
took one to the neck; they both went down. Bishop was shot in
the shoulder which caused him to lose grip of his gun. Steebo
took the nine millimeter that Solo was still holding and
stormed over to Bishop. Two of his homies remained standing
and the other three were lying in their own blood. While one of
his friends walked passed him to finish off Solo and Lalow
with two shots to the chest and one to the head. Steebo
approached Bishop, he spat on him then unloaded the weapon
off into his face and commenced to kicking his dead corps in full
rage. Envie crawled from under the bed, her face now full of
dried blood and tears ran to hug him but he pushed her away
with intended force, she fell onto the bed.
“Thank you,” he told her.
She asked, “For what?”
“For helping me get that mothafucka.”
Envie was confused. “What are you talking about?”
“Without you I would’ve still been tryna figure out a way to
make my move on this Bitch ass nigga. Without you I wouldn’t
have known who to manipulate my plan to I soon found out,
your so called friend Kima was perfect. He pace in front of her
mumbling half sentences under his breath and Envie sat on
the bed now more confused than ever. He stopped right in front
of her and bent over so that they could become face to face and
said in a calm voice, “That’s right, bitch I’m Boss and that
mothafucka over there killed my wife, and his boys raped her while
she took her last breath.” Envie’s jaw dropped. Boss stood up
straight again and wiped the sweat from his forehead and
continued, “My wife was pregnant with our
son and my mother… she didn’t even see it coming, she was
lying in her bed sleep when they came in. My lil brother saw
it all and tried to run but them mothafuckas put a bullet in his
back, now he paralyzed for life.” He yelled, “How the fuck can
a thirteen year old boy who aint even lived his life yet be
paralyzed, uh? Tell me that shit! Yo nigga, that’s how! Yo nigga did that shit
and he killed two of the most important people in my life! Now,
I ain’t got nothing!” Envie tried standing up but he pushed her
back down and continued. “And on top of that he took all my
fucking money! He wiped away more sweat and lowered his
voice. “Although, I did my research I still couldn’t get to that
nigga though, I mean not at first and I’m that nigga that’s always
on top of my shit and down for whatever but this nigga was hard
to catch slipping. He always had a army of punk ass body
guards following him around wherever he went.” He smiled an
evil smile. “Then I saw you. In my research I learned all about
you too, I learned that you were his world and he worshiped the
ground you walked on. See, you were the key to me catching the
nigga just the way I wanted to so I knew I had to take my time.
The last thing I needed was a bunch of dead, bloody
mothafuckas in the middle of the stretch and witnesses on every
corner. I wanted to make sure I planned my shit just right plus
I got to fuck your fine ass in the process.” He chuckled. “Yeah,
that pussy was real good and you made it real easy for me too.”
A wicked smile had spread across his face.
Envie couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She felt like
she was dreaming, she wanted to pinch herself to see if it would
wake her up. She said, “So you were just using me, huh? I can’t
believe this shit! You lied about your name, you lied about your
love for me! You never gave a damn about me!” She barked.
Boss didn’t say another word, he cocked his piece and put a
bullet through her head.
