“What’s good, Lord?” I said as I dapped him up.
“Shidd, we ridin’ right?”
“That a real question, nigga?” I asked, hopping in the passenger seat.
I was thankful as fuck that Jay hadn’t been able to pull up due to my nephew being sick because I knew he’d want in. Nigga didn’t like racking up bodies and shit, but he still loved to be present. I couldn’t have my nigga mixed up in none of this shit.The season would be starting soon, so I ain’t want his name in no bullshit.
When we pulled off, I went to find Diamond’s car. I ended up having to call her to get the exact location and that shit led to a million questions. A nigga damn near had to hang up on her ass to get her off the phone. I had Prynce follow me to her crib where we dropped both their whips off because there was no way we could handle business in a fucking Wraith without being noticed.
Some of the other Lords scooped us and we headed to the spots that we knew them Crimson bitches frequented. Frog met one of the hoes from out here that had been doing a whole bunch of pillow talking and she told the nigga where they were most days. They weren’t at the store where they’d run up on me the first time, but we hit the jackpot when we found them because they were all gathered and congregating like shit was sweet. I didn’t have the time or feel like getting out to do no back and forth, so me, P and Chino pulled our masks down, loaded the AR’s and let them mothafuckas ring until there was nothing left. Frog burned rubber out that bitch once we were done.
Our first stop was to ditch the ride and grab something else for Frog and Chino to travel back home in, then they took us back to Dime’s spot so that Prynce could get his shit. We bid them niggas farewell and safe travels before getting out. I walked P to his ride then dapped him up before I headed up. He wanted to formally meet Diamond, which I knew meant his nosy ass wife wanted to, so I promised to set some shit up soon. I just wanted to get the rest of the tour done first.
I’d just gotten to Diamond’s door and got ready to key in the code to get inside when I felt a presence behind me. I didn’t even bother reaching for my gun because I peeped the nigga in the parking lot watching me the moment we pulled up. I knew they were here for me when they didn’t follow Chino and Frog out.
“Turn around slowly.”
I glanced over my shoulder and frowned at the officer. “For what?”
“Because I gave you an order.”
I knew Diamond’s ass wasn’t asleep. She’d been blowing my fuckin’ phone up, so I knew she was watching. I stayed in front of the camera lens but turned around only because the nigga had his gun trained on me.
“What you want, Lord?”
“Where are you coming from?”
“None of yo’ fuckin’ business,” I spat. “Fuck is you on?”
“What am I on?” he repeated and smirked. “I’m on your trail, that’s what I’m on. There are a series of murders that I’m investigating, and the one thing that they all have in common is you’re in town when they take place.”
“Okay, now what?”
“I know it was you Loco.”
“If you know it was me, then why you runnin’ yo’ big ass mouth instead of arrestin’ me?” I angled my head to the side, waiting for the response that I never got. “Exactly, nigga, you don’t got shit, so take yo’ ugly ass the fuck on.” I shooed him, preparing to turn around to go inside Dime’s crib, but he removed the safety from his gun.
“You think you can just run from city to city doing what you want? Taking lives while you get to live yours carefree?”
“Lord, you really testin’ my patience.” I sighed heavily, completely over his ass. Only reason he was still alive and talking was because of the badge he was wearing around his neck.
“What? Are you going to kill me too?”
“Naw, I’m just gon’ let my attorney have some fun with yo’ bitch ass for violatin’ my rights.” I smirked, stuffing my hands in my pockets. “If I was the murderer you’re tryin’ to paint me out to be, I wouldn’t waste my time on yo’ soft ass. You been shakin’more than them hoes down at Kiss, so there would be no fun in that.ButI’m an upstanding citizen, so I’m going to just stand here and wait for you to leave since we both know you don’t got shit on me.”
His eyes narrowed and he appeared to be thinking about something for a second before he put his gun away but retrieved his cuffs. I frowned when he took a step toward me.
“Fuck is you doin’?”
“Turn around and put your hands behind your back.”
“Makhai!” Diamond finally said through the camera’s speaker. I knew her nosy ass was watching.
“Chill, baby, I’m straight. Stay inside.”
“Turn around, Mr. Matthews.” The officer repeated.
“No, Makhai, I’m coming.”
