“As you noticed, I’m not working undercover anymore, and I’ve been transferred to Lieutenant Sanchez’s narcotics unit.”
“Is that a good move for you?” Jada asked, but was still curious about the need to speak privately about something they’d discussed publicly.
“I guess. But what I wanted to tell you is that it’s the unit that Detectives Kirkland and Batista work out of.”
“I see,” Jada said. That information may be useful at some point, but wasn’t worth a special trip, so there must be more to it and she’d get to it soon.
“I couldn’t hear everything they were saying, but I overheard Bautista tell Kirk that she’s going after Rain Robinson and that she had an informant inside her organization,” Chanté said and now she had Jada’s undivided attention.
Chapter Fifteen
As expected, newly minted Captain, Ed Weather had been having issues with some of his people since being made Captain of Sherman’s crew. That afternoon, he was with his wife, Delicia. After her unwitting involvement in the plot to kill Mike Black and Bobby Ray and blamed him for it and her subsequent infidelity with Jessica Maximus, Ed broke up with her. But seriously, Delicia’s infidelity was the least of his worries.
With the exception of his right-hand man, King Shabazz who was executed for his loyalty to Ed Weather, his entire crew; JoJo Royal, Terry Hines, Tony Scott, Kurtis Baxter and his cousin, Warwick Barrington had all fallen in with Lyric Skye. Fortunately for Ed, he was in Atlantic City with his other woman, Sidney Zavala while Black, Rain and Nick were hunting down and killing his traitorous crew. Had it not been for his reputation as a standup guy, Black would have surely killed him on sight.
His reputation, coupled with his determination to restore his good name and put things in order made Sherman believe that Ed Weather was the only choice to succeed him as Captain. Being the well-respected Sherman’s handpicked successor and having Black, Bobby and Rain’s support should have been enough for Ed to have a smooth transition to the Captain’s seat, but that was not to be.
Believing that his lack of involvement with Lyric Skye and his years of loyal service to Sherman and The Family should have made him the choice to be made Captain, Darius Wilkerson was pushing back against Ed’s rule.
He and some other people in Sherman’s old crew believed that since it was Ed’s people that were involved with Lyric Skye, that he didn’t deserve to get bumped up to the big chair. Wilkerson was set to accept it for now, and wait for his opportunity and if one didn’t occur, he’d create it. In the meantime, he would gather support for the day when he would make his move.
Once he was made Captain and realized that he was surrounded by his enemies, Ed knew that there was only one woman that he could trust and that was Delicia. She had been with him from the beginning and she had always had his back. Even though they were separated and involved with other people, whenever Ed needed something done, he knew that he could always count on Delicia to get it done for him.
Sidney Zavala was fine as hell and the pussy was all that, but he could get good pussy anywhere. What he needed now was Delicia, needed her criminal mind and he needed her at his back, now more than ever.
“Please believe me when I say that a day hasn’t gone by when I haven’t thought about you, Delicia.”
“That’s sweet of you to say, Ed Baby, but that’s what you’re supposed to say. But it’s still nice to hear.” Delicia laughed. “Even though you just dropped me, I hoped all that young pussy hadn’t made you forget about everything. That all those years we were together meant as much to you as it did me.”
“Why you think I’m being so apologetic? I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“I never stopped loving you.”
“Really, Ed? Come on, really?”
“Really.” and he meant it. Ed had fallen in love with Delicia on the day he first saw her. And despite his need to fuck every other woman with a fat ass and big titties, he loved his wife.
Delicia started to go down the list of women that she knew or had on good authority that Ed Weather was fucking, but then she remembered that wasn’t what she was there for. She was there to reconcile their broken relationship. Besides, bringing up all his dirt would only make Ed bring up that she’d had her share of man or that she was practically living with Jessica Maximus.
“Believe me when I say, I haven’t been with another woman since I had you in my arms.”
Delicia laughed. “Bullshit.”
“Yeah, you’re right, that is bullshit.”
“I didn’t just meet you, Ed Weather,” Delicia reached between his legs and grabbed a handful of dick. “You like using this anaconda right here too much for that.” And she was hoping that this conversation would end with him shoving that anaconda down her throat.
“I’ve been with women, Delic
ia, you know that, but none of them compare to you.”
“That’s nice of you to say, Ed Baby.”
“They weren’t you, Delicia. You’re the standard that all women had to live up to and none of them ever came close.”
“Not even that whore, Sidney Zavala?” Delicia asked.
