radio down to greet them. “Hey y’all back already, Jb I was going through your grandmother’s old records, I didn’t think she kept these, the way she used to get on me about listening to them”. Jb noticed Charlene had cleaned up while they were gone, feeling relieved that nothing was out of place, he thought to himself, “so far so good”. As they were talking, Quan walked in his room to put his bags away and tuck away some powder he had left over from the party. when he pulled the Dresser back he noticed the last bit of stash was missing, at first he didn’t think nothing of it he just assumed he had used it up the night of the last party in the crib. He was so bent that night he really couldn’t remember,
He tucked the stash, and headed to the shower. Charlene knew that Jb and his friends went out of town to either pick up or distribute. She was waiting for them to slip up so she could get lucky. Jb still didn’t know his mother’s reasons for being there and the more he asked the more she gave him her lame ass excuse for just needing some time away. He didn’t want to stress himself over it, he was just ready for her to leave and according to his calendar it would be soon. Charlene still wanted to dip her hands in the money she had heard her son was sitting on but her mind was starting to stray, getting high wasn’t part of her plan but it had become part of her desire. Divine had got back to the crib and was ready to do some heavy planning. He decided on the drive back that the crew needed to get up on something else; they never stayed with the same drug for long. Divine always took any ideas he had to Jb first. He was always focused on getting money and always ready for a change, they knew Quan would be down regardless. Before they began conversing Charlene grabbed her jacket and told Jb she was going out for a while, little did he
know she was going on a coke hunt. She needed to get high and she knew they wouldn’t be leaving out anytime soon to give her time to snoop. Charlene headed out, while Divine and Jb sat down at the table. Divine told Jb he wanted to start fucking with heroin, sure the coke game was looking good but the dope game was looking even better. Crack money was good too. But some local niggas were already fucking with that. As Quan was exiting, the bathroom he overheard Jb and Divine talking, they told him the plan and put him in charge of the coke part of the game, Quan didn’t have any complaints the money was good and the bitches he would hit off would do some things on it. The rules of the game were to stay a step ahead of everyone else and that’s just what the G.M.C set out to do. They had made it this far without getting caught up and they weren’t planning on stopping for anything or anyone. Charlene was back from her search it was another dry night, noticing everyone was still up she asked them if they wanted to play spades. They agreed and Charlene pulled out a deck of cards her and Jb teamed up against Quan and Divine. Charlene shuffled the cards as Quan, Jb and Divine sat at the table prepared to kill some time. Throughout the game Quan kept reneging, he had never really played spades before; he never had the time he was always running errands for his mother or babysitting. Jb and Charlene were racking up on the books they knew exactly what cards to play and how to come out with a winning hand, finally after going into the hole for the third time Quan decided to quit and call it a night. “Shit I’m tired I’m going to lay down”. Jb laughed and replied. “You need to nigga cause you ain’t playing cards” Divine was tired as well, so he threw his hand in and went to bed. Charlene enjoyed the game and went to bed
as well. The next morning, Divine, Quan and Jb followed their normal routines, handling transactions as usual. Jeremiah called to let Divine know that the coke was in high demand, so he needed to get up there quick, Divine was happy to hear that them white folks was loving the product, he knew that the crew would never go broke, cause white money never came up funny, and he was all about getting every way possible.
The beginning of the end Chapter 4
Divine walked into Quan’s room to let him know what he and Jeremiah needed some powder. “Yo! Q, you gotta make a run up to meet J, and make sure you have enough cause he said it’s crucial up there, Jb and I are going to go handle that thing we talked about, so I guess we’ll meet up later”. Quan grabbed his keys. Eager to take a ride up to whiteyville he said with a grin, “Aight cool I got that I’m going to roll out right now” Quan left to go meet up with Jeremiah, while Jb and Divine headed to go meet some connects. Charlene didn’t even notice they were gone, as she came out the room she looked around and realized she was the only one in the house, she tried to open Divine’s door. “Damn this nigga always lock his door he must have a gold mind up in here or something” She thought to her self as she tried to turn the knob to enter Divine’s room. She tried Quan’s door and just her luck it was unlocked “good he forgot to lock it”. She was anxious as she entered his room, not looking for money but looking right behind the Dresser where she found the last bag of coke. “bingo” her eyes lit up as she ripped the bag off of the back of the Dresser without any hesitation and begin to get high she was so caught up in the moment that she didn’t even leave the room. She sat right on the floor with her mirror and her dollar bills and sniffed damn near everything in the bag. Meanwhile Divine and Jb were still driving they had a long way before they got to their destination but Quan was on his way back to the crib. He had went and handled his biz and was done, them fiends in Whiteville wiped him out. Charlene was so into her high that she didn’t even here Quan entering into the apartment, as Quan
walked in he noticed Jb, Divine hadn’t made it back yet, and he noticed that his room door was wide open. “Damn I didn’t even lock my door,” he thought to himself as he walked into his room. First thing, he noticed was his Dresser pulled away from the wall and Charlene was sitting on the floor with her back turn away from him. “What the fuck are you doing?” Quan yelled as he realized Charlene had been in his coke. She looked up at him but she was too high to realize that she had fucked up by being in his room. “You a fucking fiend, you all up in here sniffing shit like you paid for it” Quan said with a look of disgust on his face as Charlene got up from the floor and wiped the powder residue from her nose. “first of all who you talking to like that I am Jb’s mother and you need to show me some respect” Charlene said as she attempted to put her hands in Quan’s face but he wasn’t trying to hear what the hell her high ass had to say. “Bitch is you crazy? Respect is the last thing you getting from me, you up in my shit, touching shit that doesn’t belong to you and you talking about respect. Shit you ain’t nothing but a little fiend as bitch to me right about now and you owe me for that shit you done soaked up your fucking nose”. Quan stood in front of Charlene as if he was going to hit her any respect he had for her was officially gone. “What you want some money?” I didn’t even take that much of your shit. Charlene said as she grabbed the bag and slammed it on the dresser. She was lying but she didn’t care. As she tried to walk out of the room, Quan blocked the door; her petite frame was no match for him at 6 ft. tall. “I don’t want your money I got something else in mind,” Quan said in a grimy tone as he grabbed her by her belt buckle. “You need to get out of my way before I tell my son you were up in here starting shit with me”.
Charlene said as she realized that she was in a fucked up situation. “Oh you going to tell your son, that nigga don’t give a fuck about you and once he find out you a fucking coke fiend he really ain’t going to give a fuck”. Said Quan as he pushed her onto the bed, yanking her pants off and began forcing himself into her. Charlene pleaded with him to stop as he continued to violate her repeatedly. When he was finished, he pulled his penis out, forced in her mouth, and made her perform oral sex on him. Quan moaned as he ejaculated inside of her mouth then he pushed Charlene to the side and got up from the bed. Charlene lay stiffened with pain from what she had just encountered by then her high was gone and she was in a state of shock and disbelief. “Get the fuck up and get the fuck out” Quan said as he signaled Charlene out of his room. “And if you tell anyone about what happened up in here I’m going to kill you”. Charlene grabbed her ripped clothes as she
listened to Quan’s threats she went into the bathroom to clean herself up. Quan knew he had to clean up the room, there was blood on the sheets, so he grabbed everything threw it into a laundry bag lit some incense and headed to the Laundromat. Charlene came out of the bathroom and noticed that Quan was gone, she knew she had to get out of there fast before he came back knowing she wouldn’t be able to look her son in the face while telling him what had happened. She grabbed her belongings and decided to write Jb a note before she left. “Dear Jb, I decided to cut my stay short, I talked to my husband and we worked everything out, so I’m heading home, thank you for letting me stay, take care of yourself love always, Charlene”. She left the apartment
but she wasn’t going back home to her husband, she got herself a room at a hotel not too far from the apartment. Jb and Divine were on their way back to the crib when they noticed Quan leaving from the Laundromat; Divine beeped the horn at Quan as they proceeded to follow him back to the apartment. “damn that nigga doing laundry early” Jb said as he and Divine just assumed that he was getting ready to have some company over, since that’s the only time he did laundry. As they headed into the apartment, Jb wondered where his mother was. “I guess she making her rounds at the store” Jb said as he unlocked his door when he entered his room he found the note that Charlene left on the bed. “Yo, she left yo, my mom’s went back down south to her husband, damn she could have waited til I got back” Jb said upsettingly as he showed Divine the note his mother left for him. Quan looked at Jb with a blank look on his face, knowing he was the reason for her leaving, but he wasn’t going to let Jb or Divine know what had happened, deep down he was happy to know that Charlene had left and didn’t tell Jb what had happened. “Damn your mom’s just broke out huh?” Divine said as he walked over to the couch where Quan was sitting “What’s up Quan how did everything turn out with J?” Divine asked as he wondered if Quan made it to and from Whiteyville. “Everything went smooth, I put the bread up in the closet it was a clean sweep up there,” Quan said as he assured Divine it was a good night. Divine looked at Quan with a smirk and said “I see your ass getting ready to bang something up in the room you doing laundry and shit”. Quan shook his head with a uninterested look on his face “I’m not up for no bitches tonight I’m just going to fall back”. Divine thought it was strange for Quan to be doing Laundry in
the middle of the week and not be expecting company. Jb looked over at Quan in shock “Damn Q either you tired as hell or you jumped off with one of them broads when you went to go meet up with J”. Quan stood up grabbed his phone and walked towards his bedroom door. “Naw I ain’t jump off I’m just tired.”Quan went into his room and began to make the bed; images of what he had done to Charlene kept flooding through his mind. Divine and Jb sat up putting together the work they picked up so they could get it out to the block, they knew they had to do it up right because one fuck up would put a stop in their flow . “Yo D we bout to crush them with this shit here” said Jb as he got everything in order, by the end of the night they were ready to hit the block. Quan stayed to himself the whole night, wondering if Charlene would ever come back and tell her son what he had did to her. He knew if that day ever came that he would have deal with it quick. Jb and Divine followed their normal routine, the money was coming in fast and in large amounts, the fiends had no complaints at all. The get money crew was on their way to the top. Meanwhile back in Whiteyville Jeremiah’s father was really riding his back about going to law school. Jeremiah felt overpowered by his father’s plans for his future he didn’t want to be a lawyer but he knew he couldn’t let his father down, Divine hadn’t spoken to Jeremiah in a few days, so he had no idea that Jeremiah was on his way to law school. Quan was trying to get Divine and Jb to make some moves to find another spot to lay their heads. “Yo Jb we need to get up outta here soon cause we getting too large to be around this bitch like this sooner or later niggas is going to get in their heads that they can have what we have and niggas is going to try to be on some snake shit”. Quan said as he
tried to convince Jb and Divine to go along with his plans to move out of the hood. “Niggas know who we are and how we get down ain’t nobody going to try to cross that line and end up bodied” Divine said and he lifted up his shirt showing off his piece. He wasn’t down for the move, he loved being in the hood and he wasn’t afraid of anything or anyone. “Damn Q let me find out you feeling like a bitch what’s with all the move talk?” Jb said as he noticed the look on Quan’s face was serious. He didn’t know why Quan wanted to get out of the hood so bad but he wasn’t buying the story that Quan was trying to sell. Quan looked at Jb with a tight grill “nigga I ain’t no bitch, I just think we need to go a step further and get the fuck up from round here, what y’all nigga going to live in this crib for the rest of y’all lives”. Quan had his true reasons for wanting to move. He didn’t want to be anywhere close by if Charlene decided to pop back up. “But damn Quan you acting like it’s a problem with being here, you know something we don’t know? What the fuck has you shook that you want to get out of the hood, shit money is looking good right now but not that fucking good we doing our thing we not hot with them blue boys so shit is ok. We’re gonna do big things real soon but not right now, think about it we move to a new spot where niggas don’t know us and start watching us then it’s going to be a problem and then what do you think is going to happen?” Divine said as he tried to keep his team in the hood but Quan was still determined to move on. “I’m just saying I want more than this! Quan continued with his move out of the hood suggestions. Divine and Jb didn’t know what was really going on with Quan; he was always the loudest one in the crew, the one who was always quick to react if there was a problem and now he was
sitting across from them acting like a completely different person. Across town in a hotel room Charlene found herself plotting revenge against Quan for what he had done to her. Yeah he had every right to be upset with her for sniffing up his shit but to rape her than threaten to take her life that was fucked up. She wasn’t exactly going to go back to the apartment and tell Jb what his so-called boy did to her. She had her mind set on exactly how she was going to get his ass back. In her spare time if she wasn’t plotting on Quan she was getting high her addiction grew and she couldn’t stay away from it. She needed to support her habit so she bought a blonde wig and a few outfits from a local exotic store to hit the streets. Just as she was coming out of the store, she noticed a car pulling up alongside her with tinted windows. “damn who the fuck is this” she thought to herself hoping it wasn’t anyone trying to start some shit with her as she looked over to the car the windows rolled down and she couldn’t believe it was Quan “what the fuck?” she thought as she stared at the nigga who threatened to take her life. She was shocked she hadn’t expected to see him any time soon. “Get in the car” Quan said angrily as he opened the door. As bad as Charlene wanted to run she knew she couldn’t out run a car, so she got in. “what the fuck are you doing around here ain’t you supposed to be gone?” Quan asked as he began to drive. Charlene rolled her eyes and said “ I wasn’t ready to leave, why the fuck are you worried about what I’m doing any way I’m not bothering you and I’m not going to tell my son what you did to me”. Quan wasn’t moved by Charlene attitude and he smirk and said” I know you’re not going to tell your son anything cause you wanna live right, so you need to care your ass back down south”. Charlene’s refusal to leave town angered
Quan. He threatened to take her directly to the bus station. Charlene could tell by the look on his face he was serious so she agreed to leave town but not until she picked up her things from her hotel room. Charlene didn’t want Quan to know what room she was in and tried to talk him into letting her out a few blocks away, Quan didn’t trust her to go and come right back so he ordered her to show him where her hotel was at. Charlene directed Quan to the hotel as they entered the room he pulled some coke out of his jacket pocket, Charlene wanted to get high so bad but she wasn’t sure w
hy he was trying to give it to her so freely. “You know you want some,” Quan said as he teased her with the bag. He waved it back and forth in front of her. Charlene tried her best to turn the offer down. “ I don’t mess with that any more so put it away” Quan wasn’t buying it in his eyes once a fiend always a fiend he walked closer to her and said, “stop playing you know you want some”, Charlene tried to change the subject and focus on packing her stuff and leaving the room. Quan wasn’t in a rush to leave the room he had Charlene right where he wanted her he sat the coke down on the table and went into the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom, he took off all of his clothes and waited a few minutes for Charlene to give in and get her sniff on. Charlene tried to stay away from the bag but she couldn’t she dumped all the powder on the table and begin sniffing like crazy, just then Quan came out of the bathroom, noticing Charlene fell right into his trap he mumbled. “I knew you couldn’t leave that shit alone” Charlene looked up as Quan walked towards her, she was so into the powder she didn‘t even notice that he had a hard on. Quan stood in front of her with a sick grin on his face while rubbing on his manhood. He pulled her over to the
