gray concrete floor beside him. Kyope walked up, and knelt down in front of him.
In an easy voice he said, “We just want you to tell us, what you know ‘bout the recent robberies. That’s it, man, and then, you free to go your way.”
“I’m tellin’ you, Kyope, I don’t know shit,” he said again. “If I knew who was fuckin’ wit’ your operation, I would’ve told you. I don’t know what happened to Marble eitha. I’m loyal to you, Kyope! I swear on my grandmother’s life. That’s why I’m here man. I coulda ran like a bitch but I’m here.” Kyope stood up and looked down at him.
“So you don’t know nothin’ ‘bout who’s been hittin’ my shops or who killed Marble?”
“Nothin’,” D-9 whined looking up at him. “I swear to God, Kyope! I promise I ain’t got nothin’ to do wit’ this shit here.” Kyope looked back at his crew and then at D-9.
“Well, I guess you free to be with you grandmother.”
“For real, Kyope?” he asked hopefully. “This is finally over for real?”
“Yeah…it’s done.”
With that he walked back toward Kelsi and whispered something in his ear. And then Kelsi stepped up, drew his desert eagle and unloaded multiple bullets in his face. D-9’s blood splattered on his clothes and he wiped it with the back of his hand. Kelsi hated putting in work for a man he was trying to bring down, but all this was needed to make things crumble.
“Good work,” Kyope said placing his hand on Kelsi’s shoulder. “Get rid of the body,” he told Prangsta and Crane. Kelsi’s skin crawled when he felt his touch but he didn’t move.
“I don’t think he was lyin’,” Kelsi said so that only Kyope could hear him. He watched Crane and Prangsta lift D-9’s lifeless body. “I been hearin’ that Jarvis ain’t been managin’ shops no more. I know I ain’t meet ‘em yet, but it don’t look good.”
“I know he wasn’t lyin’,” Kyope confirmed. “But a statement had to be made, and it had to be made wit’ him. He shouldn’tve ran. Maybe whoever is fuckin’ wit’ my money and my crew will think twice now.”
Kyope wiped his hands with the handkerchief he kept in his pants pocket. And gave the dirty cloth to Kelsi to wipe his face.
Kelsi didn’t use it.
“Anyway, he wanted to be wit’ his grandmother, and I gave the order to kill her over an hour ago. They together now.”
Kelsi looked at him like he wanted to rip his heart out. It was one thing to murder a street dude in the game but where was the honor in killing an old woman?
“You aight?” Kyope asked picking up on the evil glare in Kelsi’s eyes. Kelsi realizing his error straightened up his face.
“Yeah…I’m cool. Just don’t know why you got Jarvis ‘round you if you know he fuckin’ up.”
Kyope smiled. After only a short time, he already liked him. He felt he had heart. Kyope ordered Kelsi to kill three people and he murdered each one of them without flinching. Although Kyope was in his early forties, he felt he was getting too old for the game. He was looking for someone he could trust to take over. Originally he thought it would be Jarvis. But he was just as old as him and not as wise. He felt Kelsi had a warrior spirit and he needed someone like him around.
“Aight, let’s roll,” Kyope told him. “I know a place that makes a hell of a fried steak.”
Kelsi went but he wouldn’t forget.

Two Months Later
People rushed up and down the block as I hustled toward Jarvis’s car. He’d given me some money to go shopping while he handled business. Ever since I’d been with him, life had been good. And just like most men after a few months of knowing me, he started spoiling me rotten. I made a decision that there was no reason for me to continue to lie to Skully about following Kelsi. I was going to come clean with him today. Not to mention I ain’t even know where Kelsi was or what he
