“Let’s try not to kill the women,” Black said. Rain and Bobby followed Black in the house and they approached the living room. “Cut the power, Carla,” Black ordered.
“What happened?”
“Power’s out,” one of the women said and turned on the flashlight on her phone in time to see Rain toss a concussion grenade in the room and Black open fire.
He hit De'Shane with two shots to his chest. Rain fired and she hit Harris with two shots. When Frazier ran for the kitchen, Bobby stepped up and shot him twice in the back of his head.
As the women held their heads and ran for cover, Rain fired two more shots as she passed Harris and then followed Cordell toward the kitchen as Black and Bobby made their way around to the stairs.
Upstairs in the bedrooms, Hareem and Mobley heard the sounds of shooting and bodies dropping to the floor. They got out of bed, got some pants on quickly and armed themselves as the women hurried to cover themselves and hide.
When Rain got to the kitchen, she saw Cordell as he ran out. She raised her weapon, fired and shot him in the back, before moving toward the steps.
By that time, Black and Bobby had reached the second level. Hareem came out of the room and fired a couple of shots blindly at them. Black fired back and kept coming. When he turned and fired again at Black, he had moved to cover and raised his weapon. He took aim and shot Hareem in the chest.
It was then that Bobby saw Mobley standing at the end of the hall. Bobby centered himself and fired a couple of shots at Mobley. He fired at Bobby and ran back in the room. Bobby went to the door, stuck his gun in and fired. Mobley stepped out of hiding and fired until his gun was empty, then Bobby shot Mobley and he went down. Bobby approached Mobley as he lay there, pulling the trigger and trying to get to his feet.
Bobby stood over him, put his foot on Mobley’s neck and fired one shot to the head and another to the chest. He looked over at the woman who was sitting on the floor in the corner with a sheet pulled over her.
“Hope you got a ride home,” Bobby said, and he left the room and went downs
tairs and was about to leave when Rain stopped him.
“We need to burn this bitch to the ground, for real,” Rain said and looked at Black.
“You heard the woman.”
Once Rain made sure that all the women had exited the house, she and Black planted explosives. When they finished, they moved to a safe distance and Rain blew the joint. Since she liked watching shit burn, they stayed for a while before heading back across the bridge.
Black called Carla.
Chapter Twenty-seven
“What you got for me, Carla? You find Barnes and Hawkins for me?”
“Not yet. But if cutting them out of the money is still a priority,” Carla began.
“And it is,” Black said.
“Then I may have something for you.”
“We’ll be at you’re location in fifteen minutes.”
“I’ll be ready,” Carla said, and they ended the call.
When they got back to the office, as promised, Carla was ready for them. By that time, Carter and Jackie had arrived and since she used to have Carla’s job, Jackie was able to help her get a location for them to hit. Once Rain, Black and Bobby were seated, Carla told them what she had found and laid the setup out for them.
“On the second floor of this building on Manida Street is where I believe that Barnes and Hawkins process and store their product.”
“This another one of the places Baby Chris put you on to?” Black asked.
“Yes,” Carla said.
“If this is the place, he thinks there is a meth lab there too,” Jackie said to Black.
“You find it the same way you found Mobley?”
“Same way, it just took a little longer to process the data, and then Jackie put it all together,” Carla said and then she showed them a floor plan of the building.
