“Man that’s family. I know she ain’t crossing me.”
The men looked at each other in silence. They all had the same thoughts. AG finally walked over to Malik and asked, “Is she worth all this man?”
Chapter 05
The Stevenson Commons siege was going on for about two hours already, and neither side was getting the advantage. The only real casualties were from the sniper fire from both sides. Rishon and his boys inside the Commons did not dare venture out into the open and Malik’s forces were unable to infiltrate the barricaded buildings. Things remained at a standstill until the arrival of Rishon’s cousin.
“Open up the back gate barricade. That’s my cousin. It’s about fucking time he got here.”
Rishon had been walking in the courtyard stressing, over his next move when his cousin arrived. The enemy soldiers had the buildings surrounded, Rishon cousin, Rob came around to the back entrance. There were only two lookouts. Malik’s men saw Rob’s crew approach, and ran to inform him.
“Yo Malik, about ten men just pulled up to the rear exit gate and went inside. They were strapped heavy. I guess your boy, Rishon, went and got himself some back up. What we gon’ do now, my brother?”
“Don’t sweat it. Them cats are just gonna be locked up in the building like the rest of them coward ass cats. Let’s just wait and see their next move while we plan ours. Go back and hold down your spot.”
“Rishon wouldn’t just have them come over here unless he was planning on using them. So let’s be extra careful,” added Big-O.
“Damn it took you long enough, Rob. But I’m glad you came to hold a brother down. Good looking out,” Rishon said to his cousin Rob.
“Yeah well, I’m here. So let’s get busy,” said Rob, smirking.
“What do you suggest, Rob? You got a plan?” asked Cornelius.
“I noticed that the only place that Malik’s crew is strong is out front on Lafayette Avenue. The back and side gates are being watched by only a few of his men.”
“What you saying, Rob?” asked a clueless Rishon.
“Try and keep up man. I’m gonna take a few of my boys and bag up a couple of his boys. You feel me?”
“No question. Let’s make that happen,” said Rishon.
Rob and his heavily armed men did just that. They started at the east gate and snuck out to ambush the unsuspecting lookouts. After they took them totally by surprise, they tied them up, and brought them inside to the complex. This was repeated at two more locations. The battle would have taken a worse turn for Malik’s forces, but he got lucky.
“Rishon, I just got finished talking with Heckie. He tells me this beef is really about you and some stripper broad. Nigga, I know you ain’t get me down here to fuckin’ risk me and my boys’ lives over a bitch?” asked Rob.
“No big cuz. She ain’t just some chick. She’s going to be my wife. I love her. Plus this is about Malik trying to rush our hood.
“Your hood, playa…? You’re family and all and that’s why I came. But my men ain’t risking their lives over no damn chick and I ain’t either. Sorry cuz, but we did our share. Peace!”
Rob and his crew left out of the back gate, and went back to their own hood. Standing in the courtyard with Rishon, were Heckie and Cornelius. They joined him shortly after Rob had left.
“Heckie, why you tell Rob this beef was over Elaine?”
“A man has the right to know why he’s risking his life. I guess he didn’t appreciate that too much, huh?” said Heckie, smiling.
“Hill, the cats that came a while ago just broke out. It don’t look like they coming back,” informed one of Hill’s crew.
Hill went over to where Malik and his boys were sitting on a park bench.
“My boy just told me that Rishon’s reinforcements just broke out.”
“Word…? That might be a break for us. Let’s just hope it’s not another trap,” said Nes.
The men were contemplating what Hill just told them, AG then took a picture out of his pocket and looked at it lustfully.
“When this shit’s over, the first thing that I’m doing is hitting this little shorty I met last week at a club,” said AG, handing the photo to Malik.
“Damn she’s thick, but she looks crazy familiar, don’t she Nes?”
Nes glanced at the photo, and a shocked look appeared on his face. He looked at Hill. Hill seeing the expression on his face instantly looked at the photo before Nes could hide it. Looking at the half-naked picture Hill shouted, “What the fuck you doing with my baby mom’s picture?”
The park got deadly silent for a second then AG said. “Oh shit, Hill, that’s my word. I didn’t know that was your baby moms. Man, you know I never would have hit…”
Realizing his poor choice of words, AG stopped talking.
“You fucked her? Oh shit! You dirty muthafucka!”
Hill tried to rush AG, but Nes and Big-O grabbed him.
“Chill baby boy, how could he know that was your baby mother? Listen it’s fucked up but this ain’t the time to deal with this. Let’s not forget where we are and why we’re here,” said Nes.
“This nigga fucked my girl,” said Hill, walking away.
Patrick came running over. “Hill, where you going?”
Hill turned to his friend and then looked at the rest of the men.
“I can’t stay here with this piece of shit. I’m out y’all. I can’t believe this shit, my own boy.”
Hill then left the park and went to his truck, and drove off, leaving his boys to their fate.
“That’s just fucking great! We done lost one of our best troopers over a bitch,” yelled Malik to his remaining crew.
“Yeah well, we’re here because of a…” Big-O stopped short, not wanting to disrespect Malik.
“Hill and his crew left, we have been getting dogged. His snipers were holding us down nicely. Now it seems like we’re just sitting out here holding our dicks. Anyone got any suggestions?” asked Malik.
“We could try and rush one of the other gates and see if we can get inside and end this. The firing from across the street is bullshit, plus we ain’t got a lot more time. It’s just a matter of time before police roll by, and then it’s a wrap,” warned Nes, cleaning his Glock.
“Shit, right about now, I’ll try anything. Take some men and try that back door. See if we get lucky.”
Nes took five men and snuck around to the back where Rob and his crew exited. Using several long iron pipes, the men attempted to pry the gated fence open. The gate began to break loose from the concrete wall and they heard men rushing toward them from the other side.
“Fall back… Hurry…!”
Nes and his men backed away from the gate. Several shots from a machine gun hit the metal gate followed by raucous laughter.
“They think a nigga ain’t ready they buggin’. This is my hood! Y’all never getting up in here,” said Rishon to Elaine while looking out an apartment window facing the park where Malik set up his base camp.
“Rishon, I’m tired of all this shooting, and for what? I ain’t going back to Malik anyway, so he might as well just break out,” said Elaine, walking over to the window.
“That pussy of yours will make niggas do crazy shit, baby. You can see that. He can’t stay out there forever. Po-po will get wind of this real soon, trust me.”
Elaine bent over to look out the window. Rishon noticed that she wasn’t wearing any panties under her short skirt. Taking out his penis, he walked up behind her. Rishon lifted up Elaine’s dress. She turned and smiled when she saw his erection. Rishon slid into her moist and snapping turtle pussy, moaning, “Shit, any nigga would go to war over this pussy.”
Chapter 06
“I can’t believe the police haven’t come by yet. Just because the power is off and the cell phones don’t work, all that is doing is buying us some time. Our luck can’t stay like this,” Nes said.
“Yeah, I know Nes. I think we got until dawn before the spot gets blown up, so stop be
ing so scary. It’s just a matter of time before we get into the Commons or those cats slip up. We got this I know it,” said Malik, not only trying to reassure Nes, but the other discouraged soldiers in the park.
“We lost a few more men just now and we’re still at square one. For real, the men are ready to break out. Money or no money, they’re not trying to sit and wait for police. Malik, either we make a power move soon or it’s a wrap,” argued AG.
Big-O nodded his head in agreement while Malik stood silent for a while. There was a possibility that he could indeed lose his discouraged recruits. He turned to his boys.
“Listen, we know why we’re here. This all my beef, and believe me, I respect the fact that y’all rolled with me on the strength. I know everybody is fed up and stressed, but just give me a little longer. If we still don’t have Elaine in a few, all of you can break out. As far as I’m concerned, you would’ve kept your word as brothers, cool.”
Malik’s boys looked at each other then turned to Malik and said, “Cool.”
Rishon and his brothers were in his apartment, talking about their defenses and the possibility of an offense when the apartment door swung open and Sandra stormed into the room.
“Look even cousin Rob broke out. You got to send that chick packing before something bad happens.”
Cornelius looked at her puzzled and asked, “What you talking about, sis?”
“What I mean is, I have a funny feeling about this, and you know my dreams always come true. Well, I dreamt that those guys outside, got inside and a lot of people were hurt and killed. Please y’all, fuck what Rishon think he’s feeling for that ho. She’s bad news. Cancel that bitch!”
Hearing his baby sister’s plea, Heckie turned to Rishon and said, “What do you think about all this? We lost some good men tonight. And we’re captives in our own building and that’s because of your chick. Don’t you think it’s time you sent her home?”
“She is home. This is her home now. She’s gonna be wifey. If y’all don’t wanna help me defend mines any longer, that’s cool. But Elaine stays,” shouted Rishon, storming out of the apartment like he was drunk on love.
Sandra was right behind Rishon on her way to the other apartment where Elaine was staying to have it out with her. She passed an apartment, and heard loud moaning coming from inside. The door was slightly ajar and Sandra slowed down. Being nosey, Sandra just had to look inside. When she opened the door, she shook her head and smiled. Two apartment doors away from Rishon’s, and his girl Elaine was bent over a couch in a living room, giving it up to two of his boys.
Elaine was giving one man a blow job while the other was hittin her from behind. Sandra watched the freak show, and started getting horny. She started rubbing her hand against her pussy. Elaine was going off on the two young men while Sandra’s fingers started going wild inside her moist cavity.
“Sandra, what the fuck are you doing?”
Sandra spun around to see her brother Heckie looking at her in disgust.
“Heckie, I… I…”
Feeling embarrassed Sandra suddenly shifted the attention from herself. “Shush Heckie, come here and check this bitch out.”
Heckie hesitated at first still angry at his sister’s sexual display. He was about to walk away and heard moans coming from the apartment. Recognizing that voice when she screamed, “Fuck me harder! Ah yes, c’mon harder…!”
Heckie almost wished he didn’t recognize the voice, but he did. He walked over to the door and pushed it open.
“Oh shit, Heckie! Damn!” said one of the men, turning around.
“You niggas are crazy. That shit is real grimy. Get the fuck out!”
The two men looked at each other and grabbed their clothes running out the apartment. They didn’t even glance at Elaine. Sandra stood by the door waiting for Heckie to go off on Elaine. She saw Elaine go to work.
“Heckie, I’m so sorry and ashamed. I don’t know what got over me. This drama has Rishon so distant from me. I just…” said a butt naked, Elaine.
She seductively started walking toward Heckie. Seeing his erection she walked over to the door and said before closing it, “Heckie, please let me explain.”
“What’s up, Big-O? You’ve been kinda silent for a while now. What’s on your mind?” AG asked.
“AG, this shit can’t continue. We need an edge to get this shit over with and soon. I’m gonna go check Hill and see if he will stop acting like a bitch and come back to the set. But check it, even if he doesn’t, I’ve been thinking about something. I’m not sure of all the details yet, but when I get it figured out my plan just might put an end to this bullshit, for real.”
Chapter 07
“Hill, you know you on some real bullshit, kid. We been boys since the seventies and you just gonna leave us uptown in the middle of beef over a chick?”
Big O seeing hill didn’t like the chick comment changed his tone. He had driven back to Harlem and found Hill in the Lenox Lounge. Big-O didn’t want to be too hard on him. He found him at a corner of the bar, nursing his pride with a bottle.
“I know she’s your baby mother but the two of you are separated. She moved on. C’mon, I doubt if either of them knew the history the other one had with you. Listen man, forget about this bullshit and keep it moving.”
“I hear you, O. It’s just that every time I picture his dick up in my puss… Or my ex-pussy for that matter, I get mad tight. I know AG… None of you would push up on one of my chicks past or present, if y’all knew she belonged to me.” Hill looked at Big-O. “How’s the beef going anyway?”
“Time’s running out. We only have a few hours before the police roll around. Malik and the rest of us have decided to holla at bitch-ass Rishon. See if him and his boys wanna go head-up in the little courtyard outside the Commons. That area will be like neutral ground, get this shit over with, last man standing type a shit,” said Big-O.
“That’s some real West Side Story shit, but it will definitely settle the war.”
“You gonna be there or what? We need you for real. This won’t start until I get back with or without you. Everyone is hoping it’s with you,” said Big-O and took a swig of Hennessey.
Big-O sat next to his friend and shared a drink. Hill sipped, reflected for a minute and a smile creased the sides of his mouth.
“I remember I was on the block flossing one night, and these niggas from Brooklyn tried to stick me up for my sheepskin. AG saw them from his window, he ran downstairs with his old-ass 22, busting at them kids. He was always there for me, man. Yeah, I’ll be there in a few.
“A’ight Hill, we’ll be waiting. Hurry,” Big-O said, leaving the lounge, smiling. He jumped into his whip and headed back to the Bronx.
“So what you gonna do, Rishon? It’s your call, man. These cats want to have an all-out man-to-man war. I already picked out who we would roll with. I just need to know if you down. This your beef,” Heckie sarcastically said to Rishon.
He heard the proposal Malik had one of his men delivered. Rishon looked at Elaine. She had her eyes on Heckie. Rishon finally made a decision.
“Hell, I’m down. We’ll meet them faggots out front. Make sure we got some cats by the entrance, you know just in case they’re trying to play us.”
Cornelius walked to the front entrance. Malik’s messenger was waiting for an answer.
“Yo, we agree to that playa. We’ll roll with ten men and you bring your ten and let’s get busy.
The messenger ran back to Malik’s camp and informed them of the response.
“Where’s Big-O? They gonna be coming out any minute now.”
Malik’s crew was making the final preparations for the fight. Big-O’s car was spotted turning the corner. When Big-O walked in the park without Hill the vibes suddenly changed.
“I guess our boy for twenty years is going to front on us,” said AG in anger.
“Nah AG, chill with that, man. Hill’s on his way. Then it’ll be on,” said Big-O.
The barric
ade to the front entrance came down and Cornelius, Heckie and Rishon came out and stood in front of the building.
“Oh shit, they ready man. How we gonna stall them until Hill gets here?” asked a surprised Nes.
“We’re not. If we start hesitating, they gonna think we pussy and just go back inside. All this shit would just be for nothing. No we gonna go without Hill. We got nine cats already, just pick one more trooper and let’s rush these fools,” said Malik with a deadly grin on his mug.
His longing for his bride had left him desperate. Now he was reacting out of pure love.
“Who the hell we gonna pick that can replace bad-ass Hill. C’mon already, man…!”
“I’ll go…”
The men turned to see Patrick, Hill’s friend standing there trying his best to look hard.
“Nigga please, this ain’t no baking contest. This real beef… Now stop playing,” laughed AG.
“No, hold up. Hill told me dude got black belts for all types of shit. He’s nice with his hands, man. Y’all know Hill ain’t gonna front about no shit like that. Patrick, you really know all that martial arts shit, man?”
Patrick walked over to the park bench and closed his eyes. Letting out a loud yell, he raised his hand over his head then brought it down on the back of the bench, splitting the wood.
“Oh shit! That was ill. Let’s bring this cat for real,” yelled an excited Malik.
Even though there were men all around him, Rishon’s voice sounded nervous, shouting from across the street. Malik and his men turned to hear him talking shit.
“What y’all punk-ass-niggas waiting for…? We here now, let’s do this,” said Rishon.
Malik and his crew stepped to them. All hell broke loose. Malik had a deadly look on his face when his eyes saw the smile on Rishon’s face.
“Come get some of this, niggas! Yeah, I’m fucking your wife!”
Malik bugged out, and fearlessly rushed Rishon. The other men separated engaging adversaries. Heckie jumped on Big-O. Cornelius grappled with AG while Nes was already beating down two other men. The battle raged on, knives were drawn, combatants ending up being sliced on their hands, chest, and faces.
