“I’m fine. You heard what happened?”
“Yeah, yeah, I heard.”
“It was wild, Richard,” Judah said and there was silence on the line.
“You need to come up here, Judah. Soon as you can.”
“Why; what’s up?” Judah asked.
“Just get here, Judah,” Richard said and then he ended the call.
“Everything all right?” Pills asked.
“I don’t know. Richard just said I need to come by there. He sounded funny … never heard him sound like that before,” Judah said. “Roll me by there, let me see what’s up?”
When they arrived at the gambling house and went inside, Judah could tell right away that something was wrong. It was too quiet and none of his father’s men would make direct eye contact with him and those who did looked away quickly. Judah and Pills were about to go in Doc’s office when Richard stopped them.
“There was a shooting,” Richard said and put his hands on Judah’s shoulders. “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but your father is dead.”
“What?” Judah asked, and his legs got weak. “My father is dead?” he asked slowly as his legs gave way and Pills had to hold him up. “How, when?” he couldn’t, and didn’t want to believe what he was hearing.
“There was a drive-by,” Richard said, then explained what happened as tears ran down Judah’s cheeks.
“Where is he?” Judah asked.
“Come with me,” Richard said and led Judah to another room where they had laid out Doc’s body on a table with a sheet covering him.
Judah approached the body slowly and then pulled the sheet back enough to see his father. As more of Doc’s men came in the room, he stood there for a minute or two with Pills at his side, not saying anything and then he looked at Richard. “Has anybody called Billy?”
“Edwina is on her way.”
“Can you give me a minute?” Judah asked.
“Sure,” Richard said, and the men began to file out of the room to give Judah some privacy.
“Not you, Pills,” Judah said without looking away from his father and held onto his arm. “You stay.”
“I got you. I’m right here for you,” Pills said.
They stood there for a while before Judah covered the body and they left the room. With Pills at his side, Judah went in his father’s office and sat down behind the desk as Doc’s men, led by Richard came in the office. It took a minute or two, but Judah finally looked up and saw everybody standing there.
“I just wanna say how sorry we all are that this happened, Judah,” Richard said.
“Sorry for your loss,” a few other said.
“What you want us to do now?” Richard asked.
“I don’t know,” Judah said with his head hanging low.
“I understand. You take your time.” Richard stepped closer to the desk. “Whether Black, Rain and them make you a captain or not, don’t matter. You run this crew now. It’s what your daddy wanted.”
Chapter Eleven
Gavin turned to Rain. “Come here.”
He reached between Rain’s legs and ran his hand over her Brazilian wax and then he fingered her clit as she laid next to him, gliding her hand up and down his dick. Rain felt his lips sucking her nipple while he penetrated her with his finger, before he blazed a trail down her stomach.
Gavin buried his head deep between her thighs. His tongue glided slowly up her lips and then to her clit. Licking and sucking hard on her lips, all the while moving his fingers in and out of Rain’s juicy pussy and she loved it. Gavin’s tongue was doing its usual magic on her clit and he was hitting her spot with his two fingers easing in and out of her. Rain stroked his big, fat, juicy dick and wanted to feel it slamming deep inside her, but that was when the phone rang.
