  “Shekia who?” Capo asked suspiciously thinking it was a new girl he had met and forgot her name.

  “I’m the girl from the other night” Shekia told him. “You shot my boyfriend Max remember?”

  “Oh yeah” Capo suddently remembered. “What’s good? You ready to get to work?”

  “Yes, I want to get this over with as soon as possible” Shekia said.

  “A’ight bet. I’m about to text you the address to meet me at nine o’clock tonight, and you better be there.” Capo said, hanging up in Shekia’s ear.

  Once he hung up, he immediately texted her the address to the location she was to meet him at later, as he pulled up in front of Ms. Gina’s restaurant.

  Capo hopped out his Benz with no shirt on, his pants shagging, two chains around his neck, and a bottle of Rosay in his hand. He quickly slipped his .380 in his pocket as he entered the restaurant. “Damn it feels good in here” Capo huffed as he felt the cool air from the air conditioner hit his body as soon as he stepped foot in the restaurant.

  “Excuse me sir” a waiter said politely as he walked up to Capo.

  “What’s up?” Capo asked as he turned up the bottle and took a long sip.

  “Umm you can’t come in here with alcohol and you have to have a shirt on if you would like to get served” the waiter told him.

  “Listen,” Capo said looking at the waiter, as the thought of smacking the shit out of him crossed his mind. “Go tell Ms. Gina that somebody is here to see her.” He said taking another sip from his bottle. “And tell her don’t have me waiting all day either.”

  Five minutes later Ms. Gina came down stairs with a frown on her face. “The next time you come into my place of business make sure you have a shirt on!” Ms. Gina said sternly as she escorted Capo upstairs to her office.

  Once the two got inside Ms. Gina slammed the door. “I’m going to call Wayne as soon you leave” she yelled. “I refuse to continue to give my hard earned money to you people!”

  “Fuck you mean you people?” Capo asked feeling offended.

  “I’m a classy woman, and I expect to do business with someone with at least a little bit of class!” She said looking Capo up and down with a disgusted look on her face. Ms. Gina couldn’t stand Capo everytime he came to the restaurant. It was always something and she was sick of it.

  “Just give me what you got for me so I can be on my way” Capo said with an attitude. Ms. Gina sucked her teeth as she opened up her safe and roughly placed the brown paper bag in his hand.

  “Do I have to count this?” Capo asked with a smirk on his face.

  “Fuck you!” Ms. Gina cursed as she watched Capo exit her office.

  Before he was even fully out of her office, Ms. Gina was already on the phone with Wayne.

  When Capo left Ms. Gina’s restaurant, he headed straight downtown to go pick up one his shooters. Bone was an ignorant loud talking young man with a happy trigger finger. Whenever Bone got around Capo he would always like to show off in front of Capo to prove he was the real deal, and down for whatever. Bone looked up to Capo and at times tried to be just like him. All of the young gansters wanted to be like Capo.

  Capo pulled up to the corner that he owned and hopped out the Benz. “What’s good out here?” He asked giving each man dap.

  “Ain’t shit” Bone replied. “Chasing this paper as usual” he said looking over both shoulders for any trace of cops.

  “I’m about to go get some haze, come take a ride with me” Capo said hopping back in his Benz. Once Bone hopped in, Capo pulled off. “I really needed to holla at you, and I didn’t want the rest of them niggaz to hear” Capo said slowing down for the yellow light. “How’s everything been going on the block?”

  “Everythings been good.” Bone answered. “I’ve been keeping everybody in line.”

  ”That’s what I like to hear” Capo smiled. “You keep up the good work, and I might think about promoting you.”

  ”You already know” Bone said as he noticed Capo pull over.

  ”Yo, wait right here I’ll be right back” Capo said as he hopped the car and disappeared inside the building that he had parked in front of.

  Inside the building Capo took the steps to the second floor. He came out the staircase and knocked on the door closest to the elevator. Seconds later a tall ugly brother answered the door. “What’s up Capo?”

  ”Nigga get the fuck out my way that’s what’s up” Capo said looking at the ugly man like he was crazy.

  ”My bad Capo” Ugly apologized.

  ”Lemme get two ounces before I have to crack your head open in here,” Capo said shaking his head while he counted out his money.

  Ugly quickly went to the back room and returned two minutes later. “You need me to weigh it for you?”

  ”Nah just gimme that shit so I can get up outta here” Capo said snatching the two ounces, and stuffing them in his draws as he exited the apartment.

  ”Bitch ass nigga” Ugly said once Capo had left. He couldn’t stand Capo, but he just stayed quiet to avoid unnecessary problems with the man.

  Capo got back downstairs, and hopped back in his Benz. “I’mma need you to put in some work real quick” he said looking over at Bone.

  ”What’s the word?” Bone asked ready for whatever.

  ”I need you to go upstairs and rob that ugly ass clown that sells the bud” Capo told him. “Just bring me the weed and you can keep the money.”

  ”Say no more” Bone said as he slid out the passenger seat, and entered the building. Ugly sat on the couch watching sportscenter when he heard a knock at the door. He got up, walked over to the door, and looked through the peep hole. Ugly saw Bone standing on the other side and immediately opened the door.

  ”Yo did Capo just come up here?” Bone asked.

  ”Yeah you just missed him” Ugly answered.

  ”Fuck it just let me get an ounce since I’m already here” Bone said as he stepped inside and started counting some money. Once he saw Ugly go to the back room to go get the weed, Bone quickly put his money back in his pocket, and pulled out his .38.

  ”You need me to weigh it for you?” Ugly asked as he returned to the living room only to find Bone pointing a gun in his face. “You already know what this is” Bone said roughly grabbing Ugly by his collar, and forcing him back into the back room. “I’m only asking this once” Bone turning Ugly around so the two men were facing. “Put everything in that bag right there” he said nodding to the empty bag that lay on the floor. Bone watched as Ugly stuffed about nine pounds of haze in the bag, followed by a few stacks of money.

  ”Here this all I got” Ugly said handing Bone the bag. Bone snatched the bag from his hand, then turned and shot Ugly in the leg. When Bone returned back down stairs, he just smiled at Capo as he hopped back in the Benz.

  CHAPTER 3

  Wayne hung up his office phone just as Capo was entering his office. Immediately Capo could tell something was wrong just by the look on Wayne’s face. “What’s wrong?”

  ”I just got word that one of Sammy’s boys got locked up right after we did the deal with them” Wayne told him.

  ”Fuck!” Capo cursed. “You think they’re going to talk?”

  ”I don’t know” Wayne replied. “But I’m not about to take that chance” he said pouring himself a drink. “I need you to take out whoever you can out of Sammy’s crew.”

  Wayne liked Sammy but not enough to sit in jail for the rest of his life, therefore Sammy’s crew had to go point black. Wanye and Sammy did business every once in a while, so the decision wasn’t a hard one for Wayne to make.

  ”I’ll get right on it” Capo said as he handed Wayne the money that Ms. Gina had given him.

  ”Ms. Gina called me earlier complaining about you as usual” Wayne informed him.

  ”Man fuck her!” Capo said waving him off. “She needs to be thankful I don’t just slap the shit out of her.”

  Wayne just shook his head at how ignorant Capo was. His wild act
ion was starting to mess up business, and if that continued Wayne was sure to have to do something about it. “The least you can do is put on a shirt when you go into her restaurant” Wayne huffed.

  ”Pull your shirt down” Capo said sipping on his drink. “These motherfuckers are paying us for protection for a reason, and that reason is because we can protect them, fuck if I have a shirt on or not!”

  ”You’ve been bringing a lot of heat down on our crew and our operation” Wayne told him. “Now I need you to calm down and stop being so damn flashy, that’s not good for business. Remember I’m the boss and you’re the underboss!” He yelled.

  ”I’ll tone it down some” Capo said as he heard his cell phone ringing. “Hello?” He answered.

  ”Hey what’s up? It’s me Shekia” the woman on the other end of the phone said. “I’m at the address you told me to meet you at, where you at?”

  ”Wait right there ma I’ll be there in ten minutes” Capo said hanging up in her ear. Capo stood up and finished off the rest of his drink. “You want me to tone it down a notch….you got it” he said as he turned and left Wayne’s office.

  ***

  Capo pulled up to the lounge that he owned, and pulled up into his parking lot. He was still upset that Wayne had tried to scold him. To Capo Wayne was turning soft and not fit to be the leader no longer. Capo had already started building up his team and operation. Even though he thought Wayne was turning soft, his loyalty towards the man was what stopped him from killing Wayne. When Capo didn’t have a dime it was Wayne who had looked out for him. That reason alone was why Wayne’s name wasn’t on Capo’s hit list. He hopped out his Benz and immediately spotted Shekia standing out front. “What’s good ma?” Capo said with a smile.

  ”What’s up my ass,” Shekia said sucking her teeth. “I’ve been waiting out here waiting for you for over a hour!”

  ”My bad” Capo said nonchalantly as he escorted her inside the lounge. “Send me a bottle of Rosay to my table” he said tapping one of his servants on the back. “Glad you came” he said as he led Shekia to a small booth in the back of the lounge. In the booth sat Moose, Bone, and girl named Kim. This was Capo’s crew. “Have a seat” Capo said as he gave Bone and Moose dap and kissed Kim on her cheek.

  ”Who the fuck is this bitch?” Kim asked grilling Shekia.

  ”This here is Shekia” Capo announced. “And she is the newest member on our team.”

  “I don’t know son” Bone protested. “She doesn’t look like a rider.”

  ”She has a debt to pay off” Capo said looking at Shekia. “And she’s here to work.”

  ”What is it that you need me to do?” Shekia asked nervously. She prayed it wasn’t anything to serious like shooting someone or murdering someone. Capos popped open the bottle of Rosay before replying. “All I need you to do is go to Miami, pick up a package, and bring it back at least twice a month.”

  ”You want me to transport drugs from Miami back to New York for you?” Shekia asked.

  ”Yeah that’s exactly what you’re going to do” Capo said pausing mid-sip.

  ”What happens if I get caught?” Shekia asked nervously. Bone, Moose, and Kim immediately busted out laughing.

  ”You not going to get caught ma” Capo told her. “I already got everything all mapped out” he said sliding her a drink. “Get that in your system and relax.”

  ”I don’t know about this” Shekia said not liking how the plan sounded. She had never done nothing like this in her life, and the fear of getting caught was eating away at her. She wasn’t the type of girl who could survive in jail.

  ”Listen,” Capo began. “When you in this family you are protected, you have nothing to worry about.”

  ”Either you in or you out” Kim said tired of playing with the girl.

  ”I’m in” Shekia announced afraid that if she didn’t agree to the terms, she would be killed just like her boyfriend.

  ”Okay your first drop off will be in two weeks” Capo told her.

  ”Okay you got my number” Shekia said as she stood up to leave.

  ”You’re leaving already?” Capo asked. “You don’t want to party and enjoy yourself tonight?”

  ”No thank you” Shekia said as she quickly exited the lounge.

  ”I don’t trust that bitch” Kim said as she watched Shekia exit the lounge.

  ”You don’t trust anybody” Capo laughed shaking his head.

  Kim got her name because she looked just like the rapper Lil Kim from her face down to her body, so the name just kind of stuck with her. The real reason that she didn’t want Shekia down on the team, was she was afraid that Capo would fuck her if the opportunity presented itself. Kim and Capo wasn’t a couple but they were in a relationship, a friend with benefits kind of relationship.

  “I’m just saying we all have a lot to lose if this chick decides to get cold feet.”

  ”She’s going to work out fine” Capo said as he saw someone who was down with Sammy’s organization walk up in his lounge.

  ”What’s up with this nigga Wayne?” Moose asked. “When you going to tell him you doing your own thing?”

  ”When the time is right” Capo said staring at the man from Sammy’s crew. “Wayne put the hit out on any one from Sammy’s crew” he announced.

  There go one of those clowns right there” Bone pointed out ready to make a move.

  ”You and Moose handle that clown and get up with me tomorrow.” Capo said as he and Kim got up and left.

  ***

  Once outside Capo noticed that Kim still had an attitude. “What’s your problem?”

  “I don’t like that new girl” Kim said once the two were alone. Capo knew that Kim’s jealous ways were kicking in. He could tell by the way she was looking at Shekia.

  “We’ll talk about that later” Capo said not wanting to have that conversation with Kim right now. He just wanted to enjoy the rest of his night. “Meet me at my crib” Capo said as he watched Kim hop in her all white Lexus.

  ***

  Back inside the lounge Bone and Moose sat in the booth finishing off the bottle of Rosay as they watched their target mingle and two step on the dance floor. “When he goes to the bathroom we gonna take him out.” Bone said helping himself to another drink.

  Moose was ready to go home, so he prayed the target went to the bathroom soon because he was actually thinking about pushing his shit back in the middle of the dance floor.

  Twenty minutes later the target finally headed towards the bathroom. Immediately Bone and Moose followed the target into the bathroom. Once inside Bone pulled out his .38 and kicked in the door to the stall the target was in. Inside the target sat on the toliet sniffing some white when the stall door busted open. Before he could even say a word Bone emptied all six of his bullets into the man. Pow, Pow, Pow, Pow, Pow, Pow!! Once he was done Moose came in and pumped five more shots into the man’s body. The two exited the restroom and the lounge like nothing had ever happened.

  ***

  Back at Capo’s house he and Kim relaxed in his Jucuzzi sipping on some wine. Capo let the jets massage his body while he thought about how and when he planned on telling Wayne he had his own operation going on. Capo didn’t want to seem like he was disloyal, but he was tired of Wayne complaining about how he handled business. Capo’s motto was that killers only respected other killers. Capo may not have been liked by everyone, but he was damn sure respected. In Wayne’s world he’d rather talk about things first and in Capo’s world he let his

  gun do the talking for him.
