London slumped a little in her chair. “As usual, I can’t argue with his logic.”
“Logical to a fault, just like daddy.”
“Don’t you just hate that about Butchie?” London laughed.
“Yeah. Yeah, sometimes I do, but you see what I’m saying now, right? I gotta be the one.”
“I see, I see.” London dropped her head but looked up quickly at her brother. “Because let’s face it, a chunk of our revenue comes from laundering and investing Butchie’s drug money.”
“So, then you agree that I need to be the one that steps up to run that too?”
London sat quietly and looked at her brother. “Yes,” she shook her head. “I agree.”
Chapter Sixteen
When Rain left Black’s house with Jackie and Carter, she was mad and needed to do something … needed to kill somebody. Somebody had to pay a price for the night before, and to Rain, at this point, it didn’t matter who.
“We ain’t waitin’ for the cops to tell us who did it,” Rain said and tossed Jackie the keys.
“Good,” Carter said.
“Where we goin’?” Jackie asked as they got to the car.
“We gonna hit one of Mobley’s spots and then we gonna hit Barnes. So, find me someplace. I don’t give a fuck where,” Rain said and got in the car.
While she drove, Jackie called Baby Chris and they went to pick him up. If they were going to hit Mobley and Barnes drug spots, they needed to be the money-making spots.
After the need to cut off their money was discussed, Jackie had Baby Chris identify their spots and come up with a plan to shut them down. But when they got there, Rain had a plan of her own.
“Here’s the fuckin’ plan. Kill everybody,” she said and got out of the car.
“What was you sayin’ about a plan, Chris?” Carter said and got out of the car. Jackie laughed and then she and Baby Chris got out. They got weapons from the trunk and had to hurry to catch up with Rain.
As they got close to the building, there was a man standing on the corner. Since he was armed, the assumption was the he was the look out.
“I got him,” Carter said as Rain put a silencer on her gun. Carter walked up to the man, grabbed him and slammed his head face-first into the wall twice.
“You like doing that shit,” Rain said went she walked up, and Carter chuckled.
“Yeah, I kinda do.”
Then Rain shot the man twice in the chest. “My way was easier,” she said and kept walking.
“Remember the plan,” Jackie said with a chastising finger. “Kill everybody, not slam their face into the wall.”
Rain looked around the corner and saw that two of Mobley’s men had come out of the building and were moving toward them. Jackie took out two guns; each had a silencer on it. As the two men approached, Jackie stepped up, raised both weapons, and shot both twice in the chest.
According to Baby Chris, Mobley’s men controlled the courtyard in front of the building and that was where they did business. As they got closer, it was clear that there were more than just Mobley’s men in that courtyard. In addition to the six men that were manning the spot, there was the steady flow of customers as well as people hanging out on a hot night in the city.
“A lot of civilians out there,” Jackie said to Rain. “You wanna kill all of them?”
Rain took out a couple of grenades.
“Those concussion or fragmentation?” Jackie asked.
“Concussion.” Rain handed one to Jackie. “When it detonates kill everybody that starts shooting at us.”
“And don’t miss. We aren’t trying to kill any civilians out here tonight,” Carter said, and he and Baby Chris readied their weapons and took aim as Rain and Jackie tossed the concussion grenades into the courtyard.
