The Pleasure of Pain 

## Chapter 1

Hector was sitting back on his bed

gazing at Tess and Iris kiss. Each kiss

between them was getting deeper and more

passionate. He usually didn't bring women

back to his house. His brothers Jose and

Ricardo warned him about doing so, but he

couldn't pass up on the opportunity to have

these two beautiful women. He looked both of

them up and down from head to toe and

couldn't believe his luck.

Tess was five foot two inches tall and

one hundred forty pounds. She had dark skin

and a body any man or woman would kill for.

She was thick in the hips, skinny at the waist,

and had an ass you could place a glass on.

She had long, dark hair that flowed down her

back, with tear drop eyes, and the sexiest, full

lips. It wasn't that hard to see why she was the

shit in every way. She was what you would call

'eye candy'.

Then there was Iris, who looked just as

good with the same sex appeal. One look at

her and you would think her and Tess were

sisters. If it wasn't for the fact, that Iris was

Spanish with green eyes and brown skin.

As Hector smoked a blunt while

watching the two women suck each other from

head to toe, not missing a spot, his dick grew

hard as a rock. Tess gazed in Iris' eyes while

Iris licked in between her thighs. She grabbed

Iris' head and placed it into her spot, "Ooohh

baby, yes, suck there! Yes, oh God! That's

the shit. It feels so good." Iris was sucking

and licking Tess from inside her pussy to her

clit, back and forth, and was enjoying every

moment of it!

Hector couldn't take it anymore. He had

to get in. He got up off the chair and walked

over to the two women that were making love.

Tess stopped as she was about to cum

because Hector was standing there with his

dick in his hand. She almost forgot about him

because of the good ass pussy licking Iris was

giving her. She looked at Hector as she let Iris

return to sucking her pussy, "Oh Hector, baby,

mmm, you look so good. Sit down on the bed

baby and let us do all the work."

Hector's hands were rubbing all over her

body while Iris was on her knees kissing all

over between Tess' thighs. Tess got up

walking away from Iris, led Hector to the

ottoman, and pushed him on it. He couldn't

wait to feel her pussy, but Tess was no way in

hell going to let him feel her sweet pussy. She

had other plans. "So, Hector you got me all

wet and now I got to pee. Where is your

bathroom?"

"Down the hall to the left baby, but why

waste all that good wet juice?" he asked licking

his lips.

"I just have to pee. I'll be right back,

baby." Tess said.

As Tess was leaving the room, she gave

Iris a sexy look, letting her know what time it

was. Iris walked over to Hector and grabbed

his dick. Iris placed a condom on his dick using

only her mouth. She began sucking like there

was no tomorrow. "Mmm! It's so big, Papi.

Mmm, and it taste so good!"

"Damn! Iris, girl, you're going to make

me cum, shit!" Hector said as Tess walked out

of the bedroom.

Down the hall Tess saw one of Hector's

bodyguards by the bathroom. His name was

Tony. He was the one that patted Tess and

Iris down when they came into Hector's house.

Tess knew Tony wanted her by the way he

was feeling on her when he patted her down.

Tony looked up and saw Tess standing there

with nothing but a thong on, "You lost, Tess?"

"No, just came to see you," she replied.

"Really? Shit, girl, you talking that shit I

like to hear."

"Tony, where is Rick?" she asked. Rick

was Hector's other bodyguard.

"Why are you worrying about him when

you have me?" Tony asked.

"No reason. I just don't want anyone

around so we can do us."

"What about Hector?" Tony replied.

Tony smiled at the thought of tapping

that ass. He wanted to fuck Tess from the

moment he saw her come into the house.

Tess looked at him, "Well if you don't know

where Rick is, I'll be on my way," Tess started

to walk away and she knew exactly the type of

walk that drove men and women crazy. Tony

looked at that ass in the thong and knew he

couldn't pass it up. "Hold up, Mami." Tess

stopped and looked at him with a sexy gaze.

"We have time. Rick is outside walking around

the house." With that information, Tess smiled

to herself thinking a weak man always thinks

with his dick.

Tess kissed Tony on his lips and

tugged on his pants until they fell to his ankles.

She grabbed his dick in her hands and began

to jerk it off. Tony sighed at the feel of her

tender touch, licked his lips, and started

sucking her breasts. Tess let out a moan, but

deep inside she was mad at the fact that she

had this man even touching her. While Tony

was sucking and feeling on Tess, he heard

noises outside the house, but he didn't pay it

any mind. He was too busy to find out what it

was and plus Rick could handle it, he thought

to himself. Little did he know Rick was already

dead.

Outside the house were two gunmen

that were dressed in all black with ski masks

that had just killed the guards at the front gate

and killed Rick walking around the house. Rick

had noticed them, but before he could pull his

9 mm hollow point gun with a silencer on it out,

a bullet hit him in the head. The two gunmen

instead made their way to the front door and

slowly walked in. They made their way through

a long hallway where they saw a big Spanish

man with his pants down sucking on a sexy,

dark skin woman's breast. As they crept closer

to them, Tony turned around and fired two

shots at the gunmen.

Tony had felt that something was wrong,

but didn't know what. From the corner of his

eyes, he had seen them coming. He acted as

if he didn't and slowly pulled his gun out of his

shoulder holster. The two gunmen moved just

in time before the bullets hit them. Tony pulled

up his pants and was blocking Tess with his

body.

"Tess, get back!" he yelled. But Tess

didn't move. Tony aimed for the two gunmen

that were on the floor ducking Tony's shots and

looking for cover.

Tony was about to fire and hit one of the

intruders in the head when he felt a sharp pain

in his neck. He grabbed his neck as blood was

pouring out so fast that his white shirt was now

all red. He turned around to see Tess with a

knife in her hand. Before he could really think

about what was happening, in one fast move

Tess drove the knife into his eye. Tony's last

thoughts were 'where did she keep that knife?

I patted that bitch down,' as he fell to the floor

and died.

Tess pulled the knife out of Tony's eye

and wiped the blood off on his pants and

placed the thin knife in a secret spot on her

panty line. "You two alright?" she asked.

"Yeah, we cool!" the two gunmen said.

"Okay let's do this," Tess responded.

Down the hall, back in the bedroom,

Hector was getting the shit fucked out of him

by Iris when he heard shots from a gun. He

pushed Iris off of him and went for his gun

under the pillow, but it was gone. Iris had

grabbed the gun while she was riding him

without him noticing. He was too deep in her

sweet love box to see what she was doing with

her hands. Hector looked up to find his own

gun pointed in his face. "Yo! What the fuck you

doing?" Hector asked.

"Shut the fuck up, Hector, and sit the

fuck back down before I blow a hole in your

small dick ass." Iris yelled.

Hector didn't know what to do so he sat

back down with his naked body exposed. At

that moment Tess entered the room with the

two gunmen by her side. The gunmen

removed their ski masks and revealed that they

were women. "Tess, what is this?" Hector

asked.

Tess grabbed her dress off the floor and

put it back on. Iris did the same. "Hector,

Hector, you know what this is. You're a smart

man, not too smart, but smart enough to know

what this is," Tess said. "So, now where is the

stash?" Tess replied in question.

"What stash?" Hector asked with a

smile, not really taking the four women

seriously, a mistake he'd soon find out on his

part.

"Okay Hector, I see how you want it,"

Tess said. Tess looked at Iris and the other

two women and they already knew what to do.

Iris pointed the gun at Hector.

"Get up," Iris ordered. Hector got up.

The two other women went to work wasting no

time tying him to a chair. From a small bag

they were carrying, they pulled out a blowtorch.

Hector's eyes grew wide as he watched the

blowtorch light up. "So, you're going to burn

me? Fuck that! I still won't tell you shit,"

Hector yelled out.

"Oh no," Tess said. "We're not going to

burn you, but we are going to burn your little

friend." It took Hector a while to really

understand what she was saying and when he

finally understood. He started to scream and

yell, "No, no! Wait, wait, I'll tell you!"

But it was too late. He didn't take these

women seriously and they were going to show

him how serious they were. One of the women

dressed in all black came closer to Hector.

She bent down on her knees and put the

blowtorch between his legs right on his dick.

"No, Noooo! Please stop," Hector

yelled. His dick was on fire, burning up, turning

black, and swelling up to the point it looked as

if it was going to pop. The woman in black

moved the blowtorch to look at her work. She

was proud of it. The smell of burnt flesh was in

the air.

Hector was now crying and pleading,

"Please, please no more, I'll tell you!" His dick

now was completely burnt, swollen, and

bleeding. Blood was dripping on the floor from

it. He tried to close his legs, but they were tied

too tight to the legs of the chair.

"Please, Tess, tell them to stop," he

begged. "The stash is in the basement behind

a fake wall under the stairs. Just hit the light

switch two times up and down and it'll open

up."

"Now, Hector, you know if you're lying or

playing games with me you'll feel that

blowtorch again." Tess warned Hector.

"I'm not lying," Hector cried.

The two women dressed in black

stayed behind with Hector while Tess and Iris

made their way to the basement with guns in

their hands. Just like Hector said there was a

fake wall and it opened when they hit the light

switch two times. When the door opened up,

all you could see was all the money, drugs,

and guns. Iris took the bags she was carrying

and started to fill them up. Tess did the same.

When all was said and done, it looked to be

over four hundred thousand dollars in cash,

fifteen bricks of cocaine, and five pounds of

marijuana. They had a little problem carrying

all of it out to the car that was parked outside

behind the house by the two ladies dressed in

all black. When they were done loading the

car up, they returned to Hector's bedroom.

Hector was still crying. Tess looked at

one of the women and said, "Make it quick."

Hector looked up with a surprised look in his

face. "B...But, I told you where the money

was," Hector pleaded in between tears.

"Shit Hector that was the bounties,"

Tess replied.

"M...my brothers will find you bitches

and...," and before he got the last word out

Tess put a bullet in his head.

"Vanessa, you know what to do," Tess

told one of the ladies in black. "I'll be outside

waiting. Make it fast," Tess ordered.

Vanessa was the woman with the

blowtorch. She and the other woman in black

worked fast, pouring gasoline on Hector's

body, around the house, and in every room.

When she was done, she turned the blowtorch

on and the house went up in flames with all the

bodies and any of the other evidence left to go

up in flames with it. The two women hopped in

the car where Tess and Iris were already

waiting and took off leaving Philadelphia

behind and heading home to Brooklyn.

Déjà Vu 

## Chapter 2

Tess had a feeling of déjà vu as she,

Iris, Vanessa, and Ebony counted and split the

money in Tess' townhouse in Crown Heights,

Brooklyn. Tess' mind went to her man and

how she missed him. She sat and then started

thinking of how all of this got started.

Tess and Iris had been best friends

since Kindergarten. They met Vanessa and

Ebony in high school when four girls tried to

jump Vanessa and Ebony in the school yard.

Tess had seen the four girls surrounding these

two girls and knew what time it was. The

leader of the group was a girl that Tess didn't

like either because she had problems with her

too. Keri was her name and she thought she

was the shit and liked to pick on people and

jump them.

Without saying a word, Tess began to

walk over towards where the group of girls

were that were about to fight. Iris was at her

side with every step Tess made. "Yo Tess,

where are you going?" Iris asked. Tess kept

moving until she was standing by the two girls

that were about to get jumped. Tess liked the

fact that they were outnumbered, but the two

girls didn't try to run. It showed they had heart.

Keri looked Tess up and down and

rolled her eyes, "Yo, what you doing over

here?" Keri asked with an attitude. "I'm about

to fuck these bitches up," Keri yelled.

"You ain't about to fuck no one up bitch."

One of the girls that stood next to Tess said.

"Yo Keri, why you always trying to jump

someone?" Tess replied.

"Mind your fucking business. This has

nothing to do with your Guyanese ass," Keri

said.

With one swift move, Tess punched Keri

in the nose and then in the mouth. All of Keri's

girls were about to jump Tess until the two girls

that stood next to her attacked them first,

kicking and punching Keri's girls. Out of

nowhere, Iris rushed Keri knocking her to the

ground where Tess stood. They stomped her

out until she wasn't moving anymore and then

they went to help the other two girls beat up

Keri's crew.

They whipped Keri's crew's ass until the

school security guards came and stopped the

fight. All the girls got suspended from school

for two weeks. It turned out one of the girls in

Keri's crew had a broken jaw and another had

a broken arm.

Later on that day the two girls that were

about to get jumped by Keri, walked up to Tess

and Iris after school, "You didn't have to do

that," the light skinned girl said to Tess.

"Yeah that was some real shit though,"

the dark skinned one added.

"By the way, my name is Vanessa," the

light skinned one said. "And this is my sister,

Ebony."

Iris and Tess asked at the same time,

"You're sisters? You don't even look alike and

you're the same age. That's crazy."

"We have different mothers. That's why

Ebony is dark skin. Our father thinks he's a

player. We were born around the same time,

but I'm three months older than Ebony,"

Vanessa said. "Our father raised us because

both of our mothers are on crack. We don't

know even know where they are, but any way,

thank you for helping us," Vanessa said.

"Yo, ya'll want to go and hang out or

something?" Iris asked Vanessa and Ebony.

"Yeah, I'm cool with that," Vanessa said.

From that day on, Tess, Iris, Vanessa,

and Ebony were always together. Everybody

heard what they did to Keri and her crew and

no one ever thought of fucking with them after

that, or so they thought.

Shit Gets Thick 

## Chapter 3

A month after the fight with Keri and her

crew Tess, Iris, Vanessa, and Ebony were

walking home from school, "Yo Tess, me and

Ebony are going to the Chinese restaurant. Do

you want anything?" Vanessa asked.

"Nah! Iris and I are good. We're

heading to my house. You two coming by

later?" Tess asked.

"Yeah girl," Ebony replied.

The girls went their separate ways. As

Tess and Iris turned the corner, they were met

by Keri and her Jamaican boyfriend, D-Low.

D-Low was the neighborhood weed man. He

was twenty two years old and loved fucking

young girls because women his age weren't

giving him any play unless he gave them real

money like to pay their bills. D-Low wasn't with

that. He was cheap and liked to keep his

money to himself. Besides all he had to do

with the young girls was to give them some

weed and buy them some sneakers and then

the pussy was all his.

D-Low had been trying to get with Tess

and Iris sexy asses for a while now, but they

knew his games and weren't giving him any

play. He wasn't getting any pussy from them

for a pair of sneakers and some money. So,

Keri was the next best thing for him. Keri told

D-Low that Tess and Iris had jumped her,

which was only part of the story of what really

had gone down. D-Low was happy to hear

this. It gave him the opportunity and reason to

beat their asses for not giving him any play.

He'd use that Keri got jumped as an alibi so the

street wouldn't talk and think he was a cornball

that got mad because he couldn't get with

either of them.

Tess and Iris looked D-Low up and

down wondering what this fool wanted. Then

they glanced over and saw Keri and they knew

what time it was. Tess thought to herself, 'this

bitch didn't learn her lesson yet!'

"Yo, what the fuck up with you bitches

jumping my girl?" D-Low yelled.

"Ain't no one jumped your fucking girl,"

Iris replied.

"Yeah, she just got her ass whipped

that's all," Tess added.

"Fuck you, Tess," Keri yelled.

"Oh! So, now that your man is here you

got heart," Tess yelled. Iris and Tess started

laughing hysterically.

D-Low got pissed and punched Tess in

the face making her fall back. "Laugh now

bitch," D-Low said as he jabbed Tess in the jaw

then her stomach.

Iris spit out a razor from her mouth and

with all her might she swung the razor at D-

Low's face. The razor cut through his face like

a hot knife on butter.

"AAHHH!" D-Low yelled.

He picked Iris up and slammed her on

the ground and started stomping her with his

feet. Tess pulled out an orange box cutter

from her back pocket and cut D-Low across his

arm. D-Low punched her so hard she saw

stars and fell to the ground next to Iris. Keri

moved in and started stomping both girls with

D-Low. Tess and Iris were curled up in a ball

trying to cover their heads.

"You bitches want to cut me. I'll kill

you," D-Low yelled with every kick.

Coming from down the block, Bless

could see D-Low and Keri stomping Tess and

Iris. Bless had seen Tess around the way and

was feeling her, but never stepped to her. He

was too busy making money and running the

streets, but his anger grew as he watched D-

Low beat Tess and Iris like they were men.

Bless pulled his 38 revolver from his waistband

and ran and struck D-Low in the back of the

head with it.

"AAHH!" D-Low yelled as he hit the

ground.

Bless then hit Keri in the jaw with the

gun making her cry and fall backwards. Bless

began to pistol whip D-Low with the gun

making him cry until he begged him to stop.

Tess and Iris got off the ground and attacked

Keri kicking and punching her to the ground

until there was blood on the ground. Tess

looked over at Bless and saw he was still pistol

whipping D-Low, so she started kicking D-Low

in the ribs.

"Take that motherfucker," Tess yelled as

she kicked him.

Bless stood up with blood all over him

and looked D-Low in the eyes. "Open your

fucking mouth," Bless ordered. D-Low did

what he was told and Bless put the barrel of

the long 38 revolver in D-Low's mouth. "If you

ever or if I ever, see you touch them again. I'll

kill you."

D-Low was older than Bless, who was

only sixteen, but the street was talking about

Bless and how he was coming up fast in the

crack game. The word on the streets was this

young thug already killed six people and from

the look in his eyes D-Low knew it was true.

He had no plans on being his seventh victim.

Lights from cop cars could be seen from down

the block.

"Come on follow me," Bless said to Tess

and Iris.

Tess looked back to see the cop cars

getting closer. Iris and Tess started to follow

Bless. They walked four blocks down really fast

to a house on Dean Street. Bless opened the

door that led to a basement apartment. Iris

and Tess looked at each other as they were

standing in the doorway. Bless looked back at

them and said, "Listen, I don't bite and I won't

hurt you." So they stepped in.

Bless's apartment was decked out with

the finest things money could buy. His

furniture was a cream color that matched the

rug. He had a sixty two inch TV in the living

room. Tess started to wonder how a sixteen

year old could afford all of that, but she already

knew the answer. She had seen Bless around

the way and thought he was a sexy, chocolate

brother. She always wondered why he never

tried to holler at her like all the other hustlers.

"Both of you, please, sit down on the

couch," he said.

They did what he asked. Bless went

into the bathroom and came back out with

clean washcloths and two bowls of warm

water. He kneeled down in front of Tess and

dipped the washcloth in the water and began

wiping the wounds on her face and arm,

cleaning away all the blood. Tess was

shocked to see that this young man with so

much rage and power could be so gentle. After

he was finished wiping Tess down, he went

over to Iris and did the same thing to her. Both

girls watched him as he got up and went into

his bedroom. Bless took off the bloody clothes

he had on and put on some blue jeans and a

tank top. He came back out with some weed

and blunts.

"Yo, do you know how to roll?" he asked

Tess. Tess shook her head no.

"I do," Iris said. Bless passed the weed

and blunt to Iris to roll while he turned on the

TV and put the movie 'Friday' in the VCR.

They sat and smoked and laughed while

watching the movie and shared things about

their lives. Tess learned that the house they

were in belonged to Bless' grandmother, who

lived upstairs, and she let him stay in the

basement by himself. She learned that his

mother was a crack head, who ran away when

he was born. She had him at the age of

sixteen. His father was a big time drug dealer

in Brownsville, but started using his own drugs

and became a dope head. Bless met him a

few times, but wanted nothing to do with him

because his grandmother told him that his

father was the reason that her daughter was a

crack head and now he'll never know his

mother.

Tess looked over at Iris to see that she

was asleep from smoking weed. "So, Bless,

why did you come and help us today?" Tess

asked.

"Oh, on some real shit I'm not even

going to lie to you. I've been seeing you

around the way. I was feeling you and I like

the fact that you don't give any of these dudes

around here any play. So, I knew you were

different, but I was always too busy to holla at

you. Today, when I seen D-Low beating you

like you was a man, I flipped out and let my

emotions get the best of me," Bless responded.

"So, do you regret it?" Tess asked.

"No Mami, I don't and I'll do it again if I

have to," Bless replied.

"Bless, I've been feeling you too and I

used to wonder why you never hollered at me.

Now, I know why," Tess said. Tess bent over

next to him and kissed him deeply and

passionately.

Bless picked her up in his arms and

carried her to his bedroom where he laid her

on the bed to kiss every part of her body as he

started to remove all of her clothes down to her

lingerie. Tess released soft, light moans.

"Baby, let's make up for all the lost

time," Tess said highly aroused.

"Ssshh, I got you baby," Bless replied.

He kissed her down to her blue lace

panties as he slid them off her as they were

clinched in his mouth. He kissed her back up

between her legs and between her thighs and

licked until he reached her clit. He gave her clit

one long suck and Tess let out a loud moan.

He got up unbuckled his jeans, pulling them

down to reveal his big hard dick. All Tess

could think was, 'Damn, that shit is thick and

long'.

She sat right up and stopped him from

penetrating her after he pulled a condom on.

She took his dick in her hands and then slowly

put her mouth all over it, not missing a spot of

his manhood. She let go with her hands and

began sucking, slurping, and deep-throating

his dick like a professional porn star. Bless

after a while couldn't take it anymore and

gently pushed her off. She lay on her back and

he entered her slowly. At a slow pace he

penetrated her love box, speeding up after

seeing a white cream all over the condom.

"Oh, daddy, I'll never leave you!" Tess

yelled.

"You better not. This is my pussy!"

That was the first time they made love and they

learned each other's body. From that day on,

Bless was her man and Tess was his woman.

No Turning Back 

## Chapter 4

Tess and her girls would spend every

night at Bless' apartment every opportunity

they got. It was the only place where they

could do what they wanted— smoke, drink, and

laugh all night.

Tess wanted to learn more about the

drug game. So Bless began to teach her how

to break down pounds of weed, how to cook

and cut crack, and put workers on the block.

He even taught her and Iris how to use a gun

and Tess and Iris taught Vanessa and Ebony.

Out of the group the only one Bless

really couldn't understand was Iris. She would

come by at night to his place and wouldn't say

a word. She'd look stressed and depressed.

Bless would give her sheets and a pillow and

she'd go right to sleep on his couch. At first he

used to try to get her to talk about what was

going on with her, but she would never tell him

what was wrong. So he stopped pushing and

told himself she'd tell him when she was ready.

"Stop Papi, stop, please no more," cried

Iris as her father was humping and pumping

his drunk dick in and out of his daughter until

he busted a nut all inside of her. He left the

room leaving Iris crying.

She got up and got dressed and left her

room and went outside and started to walk to

the only place she felt safe. Bless heard a

knock at his door as he was bagging up some

coke. He grabbed his gun and opened the

door to find Iris standing there. He moved to

the side and let her in, "There are clean sheets

in the closet and a blunt on the table."

Iris couldn't understand how this man,

this gangster could be so kind to her. At times

she wished Bless was her man and not Tess'.

As Iris sat down, she began to cry. Bless

stopped what he was doing, "Iris, you ok?" he

asked. "You know we are peoples and you can

tell me anything. I always got your back," he

explained.

More tears ran down her face and she

wished her father and mother cared about her

like he did. But her father only had lust in his

eyes for her. "Bless," Iris said between tears.

"I'm going to tell you something that I haven't

even told Tess." She looked Bless in his eyes

and tears were running down her face. "My

father raped me tonight."

"What!" Bless yelled.

"It's not the first time. He's been doing it

from the time I was seven years old. I always

blamed myself and I used to tell my mother,

but she would just beat me and tell me to do

what my father said to do. So I just let him do

what he wanted to me and pray it would be

over soon. I used to go to Tess' house and

stay the night, but her uncle didn't like me

staying over there all the time. He didn't know

why so I don't blame him. Then we met you

and I started coming here after he raped me

just to get away from that place," she began to

cry some more. "Sometimes I come here just

to sleep without worrying that I will get touched

and raped in my sleep." Iris was now crying

even harder.

Bless was the first and only person she

ever told about what her family had been doing

to her. Bless went over to Iris and held her in

his arms until she fell asleep. He grabbed his

gun and left Iris asleep on the couch. He

walked to Iris's building and waited in the dark.

He knew who Iris's father was. Shit, he knew

everybody in the neighborhood and he knew

Iris's pops was a drunk. He would come back

out tonight because it was only 11:20pm and

the liquor store closed at 12 midnight. The

drunk that he was would want more bottles for

the night. So Bless waited in the shadows of

the dark and at 11:30 Iris's father came out of

the building as so expected.

Bless ran up to him and punched him in

the head knocking him to the ground and he

began to beat the shit out of him. If there was

one thing he couldn't stand, it was a rapist and

this man was the lowest of them all. He raped

his own daughter. Bless beat him until blood

was everywhere. Then he grabbed the man by

his shirt and pulled his face close to his.

"If you ever touch Iris again, I will kill

you," Bless meant every word. "If your hands

or dick go next to her, mark my words, you are

dead." Just with one look in Bless's eyes Iris's

father saw a beast and knew he was serious.

Iris's father began to pee his pants.

"I...I won't touch her. I swear, please,

don't kill me." Bless left the man sitting in his

own blood and piss.

Watch Out For Your Past...

It's Always Waiting To Return 

## Chapter 5

Iris never knew what happened that

night, but her father hadn't touched her in three

months and he'd never touch her again. She

knew Bless had something to do with it and

she was going to pull him to the side and ask

him about it. Iris was leaving her building to

meet Bless, Tess, Vanessa and Ebony at

Bless' place. She walked down the block. The

night air hit her skin and it felt good. Then

everything went wrong.

A pair of hands grabbed her neck and

mouth and then another pair grabbed her feet.

They picked her up off the ground and started

carrying her three blocks down. It was 12 am

and only the hustlers were outside. The rule of

the street was to mind your own damn

business. So that's what they all did.

Once D-Low and his two workers, Boom

and Phats, got Iris into his apartment, they

wasted no time and started to beat her ass. D-

Low grabbed a broomstick and beat her with it.

"Bitch, you want to cut up my face! I'll teach

you," he yelled with every hit. Boom grabbed

Iris' clothes and ripped them off. Iris tried to

fight, but was no match for the three men.

"Yo, she got a nice body and a fat ass.

Let me go first," Boom said.

"No punk, I'm the boss. I'm fucking this

bitch first," D-Low responded.

Boom held Iris' hands while Phats held

her feet after D-Low spread her legs pushing

his dick inside her. He pumped up and down

like a wild animal until he busted all up inside

her. Then they flipped her over and held her

down and D-Low hit it from the back. Iris

screamed and cried the whole time. Then D-

Low pulled his dick out and pushed it in her

ass. She tried to resist, but the men were

holding her down. She tried to squeeze her

butt cheeks tight together, but it was no use.

D-Low fucked her carelessly and hard until he

saw blood on his dick.

"Your turn," he said to Boom and Phats.

Then he let Boom and Phats have their way

with her.

Iris had passed out from all the pain, but

the men were still tossing her back and forth

between them fucking her over and over. D-

Low grabbed an iron and turned it on until it got

real hot and placed it on Iris' leg.

"Ahhh!" Iris yelled. She woke up only to

pass back out from the pain.

"Yes bitch, you mark me now I mark

you," D-Low said with an evil grin on his face.

"Yo, throw this bitch outside," D-Low ordered.

Phats and Boom did just that.

At five o'clock in the morning an elderly

lady stepped out of the building and was about

to head to work, but saw Iris's bloody, beaten

body lying there on the sidewalk. She ran to a

payphone and called 911 for an ambulance for

Iris.

Where to Turn 

## Chapter 6

Tess hadn't seen nor heard from Iris all

day and that was unlike her. The two girls were

always together. Tess went by Iris's house and

asked for her, but her mother didn't know nor

seem to care and her father was scared and

claimed that he hadn't touched her. 'What was

that shit supposed to mean?' Tess thought to

herself.

Tess didn't know where to turn. She

knew something was wrong with her best

friend, but she couldn't find her. Tess stayed at

Bless' house crying and worrying about Iris.

Bless kept trying to tell Tess that she'd show

up. Tess just prayed she would and that she

was okay.

Three days had passed and still no one

had seen nor heard from Iris. On the fourth day

Bless' house phone rang and Tess picked it

up. "Tess, it's me," Iris said.

"Where are you?" Tess asked in

concern.

"I'm at Kings County Hospital. Can you

please come see me?"Iris said.

"I'll be right there." Tess and Bless

hopped in the car and rushed to the hospital.

They had no time to look for Vanessa and

Ebony to tell them what was going on. Tess

and Bless were at the hospital in minutes.

Tess found out what room she was in from the

lady at the hospital's information front desk

where they had to sign in to visit. They went to

the second floor and went inside Iris' room.

What they saw had them in tears. Iris's face

was all swollen and lumped up.

"Iris, what happened?" Tess asked with

tears rolling down her face.

The first thought that came to Bless's

mind was that it was Iris's father who had done

that and he swore he would kill him for it. Iris

began to speak, but stopped and put her head

down because she was ashamed of what

happened.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of

Mami. We're all family, so tell us."

"D-Low and his two workers grabbed me

the night I was coming to meet you two. They

raped and beat me for hours." Tears were

falling down Iris's face and it hurt her just to

cry. The tears stung her face.

Tess began to cry from seeing her friend

in so much pain. "I'm going to kill them," Tess

yelled.

"I'm with you, Tess," Bless agreed.

"Wait," Iris said, "I don't want you two to

do anything until I get out. I want to be there,

alright?"

"That's cool," Bless said.

"I'm down with that," Tess replied. "But

what took you so long to call us Iris?" Tess

asked.

"I've been passed out for three days

after they did what they did to me. I just woke

up today. That's why it took me so long to call.

The doctor said I'm okay and everything else

healed up, but my face. I can go home

tomorrow. The cops asked questions, but I

didn't tell them anything. I was hoping we'd

handle this," Iris said.

"You know we will," Bless replied.

"Can you two pick me up tomorrow?

They won't let me leave here unless someone

picks me up and I know my mother and father

won't come."

"We'll be here to pick you up, girl," Bless

said. Tess hugged her friend and Bless did the

same before they left.

The next day Tess, Bless, Vanessa, and

Ebony came to pick Iris up. Iris never felt so

much love before. Her own flesh and blood

didn't even care about her, but none of that

mattered anymore because she found a new

family in her friends. That night they got high,

ate out, and then went back to Bless' place to

make a plan. Iris didn't only want to kill D-Low.

She wanted to take everything he had. Bless

had been teaching Tess and Iris about the

game and now it was time to put those lessons

to work.

Caught Slipping 

## Chapter 7

Boom was hustling in front of D-Low's

building. He was making all the weed sales he

could so he could finish his pack and go find

some pussy and take it upstairs. It had been a

month since he'd gotten any pussy. The last

time he got his dick wet was with that Spanish

girl they had fucked and beaten. Boom

grabbed his dick just thinking about the sweet

pussy he'd gotten that night. Then he got mad.

He hated the fact that he always had to stay

outside while Phats got to bag up weed and his

so called boss D-Low got to stay in his

bedroom fucking Keri's young fine ass. 'He

should pass that pussy,' Boom thought to

himself. Boom was startled from his daydream

of fucking Keri by a sexy voice.

"I heard you got that good weed, Boom."

Boom looked up to see a sexy, young,

dark skinned girl. "Yeah, I got that good shit.

That's why they call me Boom. I have that shit

that make you so high you feel as if you've

blown up," Boom responded speaking his weak

game to the girl. Boom looked her up and

down from head to toe with lust in his eye.

'Damn, her body is right. I have to tap that,' he

thought to himself.

"Let me get two dime bags," the girl

said. Boom pulled his weed stash out of his

boxes and handed the girl two dime bags as he

took her money. He pulled a note from his

pocket and added the money to it. He usually

didn't pull out his money on the street, but

wanted to show it off to the girl. By the way

she looked at it, it worked.

"Yo, who you about to smoke with?"

Boom asked.

"No one," the girl said while licking her

lips in a way that turned Boom on.

"Cause you can chill with me," Boom

replied.

"Where because I'm not about to chill in

no hallway," the girl said with an attitude.

"Nah boo, I got a spot upstairs," Boom

said.

"Okay," she replied. Boom was smiling

inside. He knew he was going to tap that ass.

Either she was going to give it up or he was

going to take it. One way or another, that pussy

was his tonight. Boom turned his back and

took his keys out and opened the front door.

Tess smiled and thought this shit was

easy just like Bless taught her. Most of these

fake ass hustlers think with their dick and only

a weak man will do that. She now knew Bless

was right. 'This fool doesn't even know me

from a hole in the wall and he already turned

his back on me and opened the front door,' she

thought to herself. Tess pulled out a baby

9mm handgun and put the barrel to the back of

Boom's head and with hate in her voice she

said, "Don't fucking move pussy."

Just then Bless and Iris came out of the

dark and pushed Boom in the building and shut

the door behind them. Bless patted down

Boom and found a 22 caliber handgun, his

weed pack, money, and keys.

"Head up the stairs. If you make a

fucking sound, you're dead," Bless said.

Boom knew who Bless was and was so scared

that he pissed on himself. He knew Bless

didn't pull guns out unless he used them.

Boom then looked at Iris and knew he was

really fucked. Iris looked down at his wet pants

and smiled.

"Listen, I didn't know she was your

peoples. It was D-Low's idea. Please man."

Smack! Bless hit him with the butt of his gun.

"I told you to go upstairs pussy and do

not say a word," Bless yelled. Boom led them

to D-Low's apartment floor. "Which way is it?"

Bless asked.

"It's that one," Boom replied. Iris put the

key in the door and slowly opened it.

"Yo, Boom you done with that pack

already?" Phats asked never looking up from

the table. He was still bagging pounds of

weed.

Iris stepped in closer and put the gun to

Phats head, "If you move, I'll kill you." Phats

looked up with shock in his eyes. 'How the

fuck she get in here?' was his only thought until

he saw Boom with guns to his head held by

Bless and Tess.

"Where is D-Low?" Bless asked.

"He's in his bedroom fucking Keri."

Phats answered.

"You two watch them. I'm going to get

D-Low," Bless told the girls.

Jamaican music could be heard coming

from the bedroom. As Bless made his way to

the bedroom, he opened the door slowly. The

two lovers were so into what they were doing

they didn't even see Bless standing there.

Bless watched as D-Low sucked away at Keri's

pussy. Bless laughed at him, 'All that shit

Jamaicans be talking about how they don't eat

no pussy or suck no cunt as they call it. Here

this fool's face all in it.' Bless had enough of

this hilarious scene, "Don't fucking move

pussy."

D-Low looked up with cum all over his

chin to see Bless standing there with a gun

pointed to his face.

"Why did you stop I was about to cum

again?" Keri was so into her pussy getting

sucked she asked as her eyes were still

closed. When she opened them, she almost

screamed seeing Bless standing there with his

9mm pointed at them. D-Low looked in Bless'

eyes and knew he wouldn't live past that night.

In the living room, Phats looked at the

young girls and his pride started to take over.

'How could I get caught slipping by these

young bitches? How am I going to let them rob

me or shoot me when they came into D-Low's

place?' They didn't pat Phats down. He still

had his 3.80 Ruger under his shirt.

"You know what? I think you bitches

don't have the heart to use those guns and you

know what else? Fuck you," Phats yelled as

he reached for the gun under his shirt, but was

too slow. Lead filled his body up from Tess

and Iris' guns. His body jerked and fell to the

floor where he died instantly on the spot. Then

Tess and Iris aimed their guns at Boom.

"Please! No, please!" His cries went to

deaf ears as the first shot caught him in his

dick making him bend over yelling in pain. The

next shot caught him in his jaw shattering

every bone in his mouth. Then bullets

slammed into his head, chest, and stomach.

He was dead before he hit the ground. It was

Tess and Iris's first time shooting anybody and

from the feel of it they knew it wouldn't be their

last. Bless warned them not to hesitate when it

comes to putting their murder game down or

they would be down themselves. So they

listened. Tess and Iris reloaded their guns.

In the bedroom Keri and D-Low heard

the gunshots and knew it didn't look good for

them. Bless led them to the living room. Iris

laughed at seeing D-Low and Keri standing

there naked with a gun pointed to each of their

heads.

"Tess grabbed a sheet and wrapped the

weed in it," Bless ordered. Tess did what she

was told. "D-Low, is this all the weed you got?"

Bless asked.

"I have more just don't kill me." D-Low

was now looking at his two dead workers on

the floor. "The weed and money are in the

bedroom closet and there's more money under

the bed."

Tess and Iris made their way to the

bedroom and put all the weed and money in a

sheet along with anything else they had found

worth anything. They came in the living room.

The sheet was too heavy for them to carry. So

they had to drag it across the floor.

"Lie on your stomach D-Low and don't

move," Bless ordered.

"What?" D-Low yelled.

"You heard me." Bless snapped back.

D-Low did what he was told. Iris grabbed a

broomstick and came where D-Low was lying.

She spit on it and with all her might pushed it

up D-Low's ass.

"AHHHH!" D-Low yelled.

"Shut the fuck up and take it. How does

it feel?" Iris yelled while pushing it in and out of

D-Low's ass. She pushed it in deeper and left

the broomstick stuck in his ass. D-Low was

yelling and crying. The whole time D-Low was

getting stuck Keri was just standing there

crying, scared shitless. Her gut told her to run

and she took off for the door to only be met

with a hail of bullets from Tess and Iris's guns.

They watched her body fall in front of the door.

Tess walked over to Keri's body and

shot her twice in the head. D-Low was now

crying even harder and began to beg for his

life. Tess, Bless, and Iris aimed their guns at

D-Low and allowed the bullets to rip through

his body leaving him dead. Bless pulled out a

small bottle of gas and poured it around the

bodies and the apartment. All three of them

put black rags over their faces. Iris lit the gas

on the floor with a match as they left and they

took off running.

Back at Bless's place they counted the

weed and money. It came up to twenty pounds

of chocolate weed, five pounds of green weed,

fifteen thousand dollars in cash, and five guns.

Just like what they had planned, they hit D-Low

when he restocked on his weed. Bless, Tess,

and Iris put the weed in the streets with

workers and had Vanessa and Ebony would

run the blocks. From then on, there was no

looking back and no stopping them.

Present Day 

## Chapter 8

Tess snapped back to reality and was

done counting the money. "There is a hundred

thousand dollars apiece for each of us," Tess

said. "Here is your cut."

"Damn, girl that was a good pay day,"

Vanessa replied, "Plus the one million we get

for the hit on Hector, we're good," Vanessa

continued.

"Yo Ebony, make sure you hit Omar off

with some more work so the workers on the

block don't run low," Tess ordered.

"I got you, Tess," Ebony replied.

"I'm about to go visit Bless today. So, I'll

see you when I get back." Tess said as she

took off.

The Visit 

## Chapter 9

Tess jumped in her red 7.45 BMW and

drove upstate for two hours to the Coxsackie

Correction Facility. She checked in and signed

in to visit Bless. When she came into the

visiting room, she couldn't help getting wet and

it showed on her face. She had a smile of pure

lust on her face. Bless was sitting at the table

waiting for her. Bless was a sexy, chocolate

brother, six foot two inches tall, two hundred

fifty pounds, and very muscular from spending

his time working out. He had short wavy hair.

His thug style and business mind made him

even more attractive and deadly at the same

time.

"Hey baby," Bless said as he stood up to

hug Tess. They kissed deep and long. Tess

let out a moan and then sat down at their table.

"Damn, I miss you baby. I can't wait for

you to come home," Tess said meaning every

word.

"I miss you too girl and I only got three

weeks left," Bless replied.

"I miss your touch and your hard dick

baby," Tess responded.

"I miss your sweet stuff too baby! Yo,

how is Iris? She cool?"

Bless knew that Iris and his girl messed

around, but it didn't mean shit because Bless

knew he had what Tess really wanted and

needed. That was his chocolate, ten inch dick.

Bless and Tess had been together for seven

years since they were sixteen and now they

were twenty three years old. So much time

together made it hard for anybody else to fulfill

their needs, but one another. They were more

than lovers, but best friends. She shared

everything with him and he did the same with

her. From the time they killed D-Low and his

crew, they ran the streets together as king and

queen.

"So, baby how is the business?" Bless

asked.

"Which one boy," Tess responded.

"You know which one."

"Well the real estate business is going

good. I sold four town houses this month,"

Tess said.

"Damn girl, you doing the damn thing,"

Bless said with a smile on his face.

Tess knew Bless would be happy to

hear the news. The real estate business was

the one he really cared about because he

looked at it as his way out of the game. He

knew they had the streets on lock. In jail,

Bless could hear everything. Bless knew Tess

ran the business with no games played. He

taught her everything about the street. So he

was not worried at all how she handled the

business.

"Damn, I miss you girl. I can't wait to

tear that pussy up," Bless said.

"Mmm, so why wait? Let's go take

some pictures in the photo booth."

They got up and walked over to the

photo booth. The correctional officer was too

busy watching all the other inmates in the

visiting room to really notice them. Plus, the

officer on the visiting floor today was on Bless'

payroll. Tess bent down and put money in the

photo machine. They closed the curtain and

Tess lifted her dress up and sat down on

Bless's dick.

"Damn girl, your pussy feels so good

and wet," Bless moaned.

"No baby, this dick feels good," Tess

moaned back. Tess started to slow grind on

his dick something they learned when they

were younger, the slower, the better, the

sweeter. "Hmmm yes, yes baby, give me that

dick. This pussy is yours, baby. Yours daddy,"

Tess moaned as they were grinding their hips

to the same rhythm. Bless grabbed her ass

and pulled her all the way down on his dick

making his dick go up as far inside her as it

could go. "Mmm, ooh baby, I feel it in my

stomach," Tess moaned.

"Whose pussy, whose pussy is this?"

Bless said while speeding up and going deeper

inside of her.

"Yours daddy, yours, the only one for

me," Tess yelled. Bless flipped her over and

made her hold the photo booth's wall while he

pulled his dick in and out, very slowly teasing

her pussy. Then he started to pound away

until they both came at the same time. "I love

you, Bless."

"I love you too, Mami. Let's get out of

this booth before we make it hot." Tess bent

down and grabbed the picture they took while

they were having sex. "Damn girl, look at the

face you made, ha ha."

On the picture you could see Tess's

face while Bless hit it from the back. "If your

dick wasn't so big my face wouldn't be looking

like that." They both laughed and went back to

their table.

"Here girl, you take these pictures

home. I don't want to keep shit here. I'll be

home soon anyways and we will spend time

making a lot more photos," Bless said with his

sexy smile that Tess loved so much.

"Baby, I'll have everything ready for you

as soon as you come home. I promise," Tess

said.

"I know boo. You always have my back.

I'm not worried," Bless responded.

Tess knew Bless didn't want to stay in

the drug game anymore. He just wanted to

fuck with the real estate and start a family.

Tess wanted the same thing, but she got used

to the money and wanted to save enough to

never look back. She never told him she was

making money on the side as a contract killer

with Vanessa, Iris, and Ebony. She knew

Bless well enough to know he wouldn't tolerate

it, but shit the money was for them and she

had to raise it to stay in the real estate

business. Houses cost a lot of money these

days and she wouldn't allow her and Bless to

fall off. This had been their dream for years

and she wouldn't stop for no one.

"Visit time is over," a fat correctional

officer yelled.

"Yo boo, you know what that means,"

Bless said as he stood up. "I love you!" He

kissed Tess while grabbing her ass at the

same time.

"I love you too, daddy. I'll see you real

soon," Tess replied. Tess left the jail on cloud

nine happier than ever that her man would

soon be home.

No Longer a Predator 

## Chapter 10

Bless went back to his dorm after the

visit and went in his cell to lie down and think

about his life. He had a lot of time to do that.

He had been locked up for three years. He got

sentenced to three years because it was the

lowest they could give him since they didn't

have any real evidence on him. The District

Attorney wanted something to stick so they

locked him up on a conspiracy charge. Bless

usually didn't talk on phones, but one of his

workers called talking some hot shit about

crack and how he needed to move and couldn't

find Bless' Lieutenant to restock.

Bless told him he got him and that's all it

took to get him locked up. His worker Moe had

the phone tapped. He was working with the

cops. Bless trusted Moe since he pretty much

raised him. He never thought he'd cross him,

but he was wrong. Lesson well learned. Bless

promised he'd kill Moe once he was out. Little

did he know it had already been done by Tess.

Bless had come to jail as a predator,

wilding out on everyone, fighting, and cutting

people left and right. His name rung bells and

he wanted it to stay that way. He was a boss

on the streets. He had Brooklyn locked down,

some out of town spots, and was the head of

his own blood gangs. His set was called sex,

money, and murder and only his team had that

name. You had to be a real gangster to be

down with his crew.

In jail, Bless got whatever he wanted

and if he didn't, he would take it, but over time

he got tired of wilding out and became calm.

Besides his queen Tess made sure he didn't

want anything in the world. He was a boss in

the street and damn sure he was a boss in jail

and carried himself as one.

While Bless was lying on his bed in his

cell, G came to the cell door followed by Burt.

G and Burt were both forty years old and real

O.G.'s (Old Gangsters) to the drug game.

They had been in jail back and forth many

times before Bless was ever born.

"What's going on there," G said. "You

got a visit and shit and now you going to play

the cell youngster," G said.

"No G, I'm cool. I was just thinking

that's all," Bless responded.

"Thinking about the pussy you missed I

bet," Burt said as him and G busted out

laughing. They done seen so many young

dudes come in here and stress out over their

woman and that shit was funny to them

because they had been there and done that.

They knew Bless wasn't that way, but they

loved fucking with him just to get a laugh.

G and Burt were as different as night

and day. G was a gangster, a killer, and an old

timer who didn't give a fuck. He'd step to any

dude, young or old, and put the beat down on

them. Burt was a gangster, but over the years

the time he spent in jail made him wiser. He

talked about politics, business, and books.

Bless thought together they made a perfect

person, but apart they were too crazy. G was

off the wall, crazy as fuck, and could hurt

someone real bad or even kill them at any

given time if he got mad enough. Burt was

smart, but would let dudes get away with

saying smart shit to him.

One time a dude told him to suck his

dick out of disrespect. In jail, you never do

that, you never tell another man to suck your

dick. But Burt just walked away like it was

nothing. He asked him why and he said, "Don't

get it twisted youngster. I'm no punk and if that

man would have put his hands on me I would

have hurt him, but he didn't. He used his

words to try to make me act on my emotions.

Men don't act we respond and responding

means to think as a responsible person and

that is what I did."

"Shit! That was the deepest shit I have

ever heard." Bless said.

But G didn't feel the same way. The

next day that man that disrespected Burt was

found stabbed up in the T.V room. G wasn't

having

anyone

disrespect

him

and

to

disrespect his friend meant you disrespected

him too. Just like Bless thought they were as

different as night and day.

"Yo youngin, come outside and get this

work out with us." G said.

"Aight G, I'm with that," Bless replied.

So, all three men walked outside to the jail

yard.

Outside Bless saw people he knew and

threw up the blood sign to say what's up. The

others did the same to him and kept moving

about their business. "G let's hit the pull-up bar

first then the weights."

"I'm with that youngster," G replied.

Bless hit the bar first and did twenty pull-ups.

Then G went up next. For a forty year old man

his body was in good shape from all the years

of doing time.

"So, youngster you know what you're

going to do when you hit them streets?" Burt

asked.

"Yeah finish getting my life straight. I

can't come back here," Bless responded.

"I feel you on that, but everybody says

they not coming back and come right back

here. So, what are you going to do to not

come back?" Burt asked.

"I'm where I need to be and soon I'll

never have to look back," Bless said.

"Okay we'll see," Burt said.

"Burt leave him alone," G said as he

finished doing his twenty pull ups. "Yeah! Get

that money youngster. That's all that matters

in this world," G said.

"Now you sound like every other Black

man in this place," Burt replied. Bless' back

was turned. He was laughing at G and Burt

arguing. He loved when they went back and

forth over shit, thinking only one of them could

be right. Not knowing both of them were right

in their own way.

June came out of nowhere with a jail

made knife in his hand. June had been

watching Bless from the moment he entered

the yard and now Bless' back was turned and

this was the perfect opportunity to get him.

June hated Bless because Bless smacked him

a month back in front of everyone in the yard.

He had been holding hands and feeling on

Kelly's ass in the yard. It wouldn't have been a

problem, if Kelly was a girl, but she wasn't.

She or he was gay. A man that had long hair

like a girl, talked like a girl, and had a shape

like a girl, but wasn't one.

Bless thought there was nothing wrong

with gay people, but it was wrong to be down

with a gang and be gay. Then everybody

would think the whole gang got down on the

same shit and no one would respect them.

June was a blood. His set was called N.T.G

and he knew better, but got weak and wanted

some of Kelly's good stuff. He heard about

him from the other inmates. When Bless saw

June's hands all over Kelly's ass, he got mad

and walked straight over to him. "Yo, what the

fuck are you doing son?" Bless yelled.

"Bless I'm just chilling with Kelly you

know," June replied. By now everybody in the

yard was watching to see what would happen.

"No, I don't fucking know, homie," Bless

yelled.

Kelly was looking scared to death. She

(he) knew who Bless was and how he got

down and he just started to stop wilding out

and she didn't want any part of the drama and

pain he could bring. "Umm, Bless can I please

leave?"

"Yeah, yeah, you can go this has

nothing to do with you. You're just trying to

make your money," Bless responded.

Everybody knew in jail that Kelly sold his

ass for whatever they had. Bless knew this

and respected his hustle as long as he and all

the other chumps stayed the fuck away from

him. Kelly walked away as fast as he could.

She wanted no part of this and everybody

knew how Bless got down. When he was mad,

there was no telling what he'd do. Even though

he'd stopped wilding out, he was still Bless and

the beast inside of him just didn't die overnight.

"Yo, Bless chill I was just having some

fun," June said.

"Some fun? Some fun? Nigga, are you

crazy? You're blood and its niggas like you

that fuck the game up in jail. Fucking all these

homos and then go home to give our women

AIDS and then they pass it on to the next nigga

because of your ass."

"So what's your point," June said and

with that Bless smacked the shit out of him.

June hit the ground because the smack was so

hard. He was seeing stars. June got up and

looked at Bless.

"What nigga, you ain't going to do shit!"

Bless yelled.

"Yo Bless, why you got to hit me like

that?"

Bless smacked him again. This time

June managed not to fall and he now wanted

to fight, but one look at Bless was a dark skin,

human beast, two hundred and fifty pounds of

muscle and he was a killer. "Bless you got

that, you got that," June said.

"I know I got that pussy and as a matter

of fact you not Blood no more. Don't say you

are again, you hear me," Bless yelled. Bless

smacked the words starting to come out of his

mouth and June hit the ground again.

Everybody in the yard started to laugh.

Getting smacked was one of the worst forms of

disrespect for a man, it meant you're not even

worthy to get hit like a man, but like a girl.

June got smacked four times. So, from that

day on no one respected June and all the

Bloods were now against him.

Lite was June's only boy that stood by

him after everyone else turned their back on

him. Lite wasn't feeling that June was messing

with Kelly, but June was his boy and he still

had his back.

June and Lite walked up on Bless in the

yard with jail made knives in their hands. Bless

was too busy laughing and talking to G and

Burt to notice them. "Yo, G you're crazy,"

Bless replied.

"Youngster I'm telling you the truth when

I get to eating them girls' pussy they go crazy

it's an old timer's trick. I'll show it to you one

day." G replied. Bless and Burt busted out

laughing.

G was about to say something when he

peeped June and Lite, but it was too late. June

stabbed Bless in his lower back, "Yeah

motherfucker, you thought you could play me."

June pulled the knife out of Bless's back and

was about to stab him again. When G pulled

out an ice pick and stabbed him.

"AH AH shit shit," June said as he fell

back a little.

Then Lite tried to stab G, but Burt

jabbed him in the nose, breaking it. Bless was

holding his side and spit out a razor into his

other hand from his mouth, walked up to June,

and started cutting away at June's face

opening it up to the white meat. Then Bless

tried to cut his neck, but June was moving

away from the razor. June was swinging the

knife he had wildly trying his best to stab Bless.

Bless grabbed June's hand, overpowered him,

took the knife from him, and stabbed June with

June's knife.

G and Burt had Lite on the ground

stabbing him over and over. The situation

happened so fast no one in the yard even saw

what went down. When an old school Blood

peeped it, he came running to help Bless. His

name was Gunner and was locked up for life

for killing three people.

"Yo, Bless get the fuck out of here. I'll

handle this shit," Gunner yelled and then

looked at the two men on the ground bleeding.

"I got three bodies already kid and you're about

to go home. I'll take this dog," Gunner said.

Bless, G, and Burt took off their shirts

because they were now covered in blood.

Some other inmates they knew passed them

some clean shirts to put on before they left the

yard.

"Yo, Bless we ain't got much time left

before those correctional officers come around

looking for blood and wounds on everybody.

We have to get cleaned up!" G said.

Bless went in his cell and cleaned

himself off and washed his stab wound. The

knife didn't go deep so that was a good thing

he told himself. G placed a hot piece of metal

and burnt Bless's wound to stop the bleeding.

Bless yelled as the hot metal cooked his flesh.

Bless wanted to yell louder, but held it in

because the correctional officer was walking

around doing his count.

Ten minutes later, all cleaned up, Bless,

G, and Burt were playing cards like nothing

happened when the correctional officer called

lock down.

"I told you youngster them officers going

to check if anyone got blood on their hands or

stab wounds, but your dark skin will cover up

the burn. We did stop the bleeding and hide

that wound," G said.

Every inmate had to be locked in their

cells. The correctional officers came cell to cell

checking every inmate and finally reached

Bless' cell. They checked his hands and then

body and found nothing. The jail stayed on

lock down for two weeks. Bless found out that

Lite died that day in the yard and June was still

in the jail's hospital.

Gunner told the correctional officers he

killed Lite and stabbed June. He was charged

with another body and more jail time. He didn't

care. He was never going home in the first

place. Bless promised he'd make sure to

always hold down Gunner and his family.

June didn't snitch to the correctional

officer about who stabbed him. He knew he

was already dead. The word in the jail was

Bless put a hit out on him and everybody will

want his head. He'll have to sign into P.C. or

protective custody, but he knew he still

wouldn't be safe.

Free at Last 

## Chapter 11

Sitting in his dark cell, all Bless could do

was think about what the day held. It was the

morning of the eighth and his last hour in jail.

He had already given away all his books and

food to the other inmates he was cool with. He

wouldn't need those things after today.

A voice came from the loud speaker as

the correctional officer yelled, "Andrew Web

aka Bless on the discharge." Bless thought

this day would never come. Shit this day was

all he could think about after copping out to

three years on conspiracy charges. Bless left

everything in his cell, but his letters and

pictures of Tess. As he left, he said his

goodbyes to the dudes he was cool with.

Once outside the jail, he had on some

jeans and a tank top. Damn it felt good to be

free he thought as he looked around, but didn't

see Tess. 'Shit, she was supposed to be

outside waiting for me. It's not like her to let

me down,' he said to himself. As that thought

passed through his mind, a burgundy Bentley

GT flying spur with 22 inch rims on it pulled up.

'Damn, I can't wait to get back to the streets. I

have to get me one of those,' Bless thought.

The driver side door opened up cutting

through the air like a jackknife. The

Lamborghini style doors on the Bentley made it

look even sicker. Bless was a baller, but

couldn't help but to look at the car. Just then a

pair of thick sexy brown legs stepped out of the

car. Bless's dick got rock hard just looking at

them. Then the woman stepped all the way

out of the car. She was dressed in a burgundy

miniskirt with matching high heels and a small

shirt that was tied up in a knot around her back

making it possible to see the shape of her

breasts. Bless' eyes met hers and they both

smiled. She ran over to him and jumped in his

huge arms.

"Hey baby, I missed you," she said while

placing a kiss on his lips and letting out a moan

at the same time. Bless grabbed a handful of

her ass squeezing it and thanking God

because he missed the feeling of it for so long

now. "Let's get out of here," she said.

"Hell yea, Mami. I feel you on that.

Damn Tess! This is a nice fucking car. This is

going to shit on my Benz," Bless replied.

"Umm, baby I sold your Benz."

"You what? You did what?" Bless

yelled. "It's okay I'll drive your car," Bless said.

"Oh hell no, nigga. My man got to have

his own shit," Tess responded. They sat down

in the car and pulled down the doors. Tess

pushed the start button and the car came to life

and they took off. Tess said, "But I'll drive my

man's shit."

Bless laughed, "Oh is that right?"

The whole ride home little to no words

were said, lust and love was building in the air.

Tess couldn't keep her eyes off her man and

how fucking big and cut up he got. Bless

couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He couldn't

believe how juicy her body had gotten over the

years. The heat and lust was building up from

all the years they weren't able to touch each

other burning them up inside.

"Girl, keep your eyes on the road before

you kill our asses. Shit, I ain't trying to die

before I get a taste of that sweet stuff of yours,"

Bless stated.

"I was thinking the same thing boo,"

Tess responded.

When they got to the city and Tess

passed Brooklyn, "Yo boo! Where are we

going," Bless asked.

"Home nigga."

"Shit baby, ain't home in Brooklyn. We

still have the townhouse right?"

"But of course, boo. I held everything

down while you were gone." She said.

"So where are we going?" Bless asked.

"You'll see," Tess said with a devilish

grin on her face. Tess drove passed Queens

into Far Rockaway then over a bridge that read

Long Beach, Long Island. She drove a few

blocks and pulled in driveway with a two-story

house and with a garage. The house was

beautiful in every way. A red 7.45 BMW was

parked in the driveway.

"Yo, who's BMW?" Bless asked.

"That's mine boo." Being locked up, he

never asked what she was driving while inside

because it made him miss the streets. "So you

pushing the BMW and the Bentley, shit I made

you into a monster," Bless replied.

"No baby, the Bentley ain't mine."

"What? I know you not driving no one

car. You know how I feel about that shit."

"Listen, I only drive my cars and my

man's cars."

"So who whip is this?" He questioned.

"It's yours baby," she said as she turned

and got out of the car and handed him the keys

to the car.

Bless just smiled, he liked the car, but

loved the woman and watching her walk to the

front door with her ass shaking with every step

was doing something to him. Tess unlocked

the front door and waited for him to enter.

Once Bless entered the house, he

wasted no time. He grabbed Tess by the

waist, turned her around making her hold the

wall with both hands, and arched her back. He

lifted her Burgundy mini-skirt, moved the

matching thong to the side, placed his hands

on her fat ass, spread her cheeks and began

licking and sucking and tasting her.

"Oooh! Daddy I miss that so damn

much," Tess moaned. Bless began to lick her

clit, teasing her even more. "Ooh, mmm, yes

baby." His tongue made its way to her clit up

and down, he licked it in a circular motion

around her ass hole. "Damn! Baby!" Tess

yelled. She couldn't take it anymore. She

wanted to feel his tongue in her ass. She

grabbed his head while still holding onto the

wall with one hand pushing his face as far as it

could go between her cheeks.

Bless started licking even faster and

more wilder, eating her pussy and her ass at

the same time. "You like that," he said in

between licks and sucks.

"Yes, yes, yes Daddy," Tess moaned. "I

love it. Yes! Yes!" Bless was fucking her with

his tongue in her ass. Tess' body shook as his

tongue went in and out of her asshole making

her cum repeatedly. Bless stood up and used

his hand to wipe the cum off his face. He

grabbed Tess' waist and put his big black dick

right in her wet pussy and started to dick her

down. It had been so long for him. He started

to wild out and fuck the shit out of Tess taking

years of sexual frustration out on her pussy.

The more he was wilder he got the more Tess

loved it.

"Who pussy is this?" he yelled with each

pump.

"This is your pussy baby yours," Tess

yelled back.

Bless grabbed her shoulders and a

handful of her long hair making his ten inch

dick go in and out of her with every pump and

pulling her more into him. Bless looked down

and noticed his name tattooed in big letters on

her back and smiled. It must have been

something she got done while he was locked

up.

"Ooooh daddy, it's your pussy. Tear it

up!" Bless did just that. He pulled her hair

even more making her arch her back until his

dick went as far in as it could go and started

pounding away. "Damn, damn baby, I can feel

it soon reach my lungs." Bless was so backed

up and the pussy was feeling so good. He

pumped even harder. He beat up that pussy

like it did something wrong making them both

cum four times. They took a minute to relax.

"Damn, that was good daddy," Tess moaned.

"I needed that," Bless said.

"Well it's far from over," Tess stated.

They never made it to the bedroom.

Bless entered her from behind and gave her

long strokes while he had her lie on her

stomach, penetrating with each intense stroke

with his big black dick turning the pain into

pleasure. "Damn baby, damn, I...I...I love it."

Bless continued to give her every inch of

him. He turned her around making her lie on

her back as he entered her sweet box. Tess

rotated her waist stimulating the pleasure to his

dick even more. Bless threw her legs on his

shoulders and drove right in. "Mmmmm," Tess

moaned with each pump until they came again.

Then Bless flipped her around on her knees

and put her ass in the air and her face down.

He slowly inserted his dick savoring the

moment, "Damn this pussy is so tight and wet."

He pumped harder and harder and faster.

Tess was unable to control her passion

anymore. She began to buck her ass, throwing

it back on his dick while he pounded away.

"Yeah throw that fat ass back," he said while

smacking it.

"Fuck me, fuck me," Tess yelled as

Bless fucked her harder.

"You love that, you love it," he moaned.

"Yes, yes, yes daddy," Tess yelled back,

"I love this dick." He felt the muscle in her

pussy tightening. She moaned as they both

came at the same time. Bless and Tess made

love every day for a straight month. He fucked

her in every imaginable way possible until her

pussy was sore.

Get Back to Business 

## Chapter 12

They had cut the world off for a whole

month and now it was time to get back to

business. They had Brooklyn and Philly

pumping with drugs and their real estate

company needed to get back up too. Bless

and Tess was holding a meeting at their

Brooklyn town house. "Yo, what's up Omar,"

Bless said.

"Just chillin'," Omar replied.

"It's good to see you," Bless stated.

Omar

was

one

of

Bless'

many

Lieutenants, but he watched all the other spots.

Omar and Ebony were in charge of running the

Queens and Brooklyn spots. Omar hugged

Bless. He did miss his boss. Tess and the

girls were cool, but he felt as if they were

always keeping something from him. So now

Bless was back and it felt good to have another

man around.

Bless had been filled in on Tess' new

Dominican drug connection, Ricardo, and had

a meeting set up with him for later on today.

Everybody was sitting at a round table in Bless'

living room. Vanessa and Ebony sat together,

Omar next to Iris, and Bless and Tess sat

together. Tess spoke first, "Listen, I been

running things for the last three years, but now

my King is back. We'll run this together like it

always was."

"By now we all should have made

enough money to stop," Bless stated, "and

that's what me and Tess are going to do after

six months."

Everybody looked at Bless and Tess

with shock. "What you mean you're going to

stop?" Iris yelled.

"We're done, no more," Bless replied.

"What the fuck, Tess. Bless comes

home and you want to quit the game on us?"

Iris yelled.

"Watch your fucking mouth, Iris, and

remember who you're talking to and for your

information that has always been my plan from

the start. No one is trying to do this shit

forever," Tess responded.

"Everybody just fucking listen to what

got to be said," Bless began to talk. "For those

of you who want to continue to stay in the

game, that's cool. We're handing the Brooklyn

and Queens spots to Ebony and Omar and the

Philly spots to Iris and Vanessa. Iris will be the

new boss. This will be me and Tess's last run.

Is everyone straight with the new terms?"

"Yeah we straight," everyone said, but

Iris.

Bless looked Iris in the eyes. "Iris," he

said.

"Yeah! I'm straight," she replied. While

everyone was leaving the Brooklyn townhouse,

Iris stayed behind to talk with Tess.

Bless was outside talking to Omar, "So

how's Daman?"

"He's cool he reminds me of you a lot

when you was young. He's always out to prove

he's crazier than everyone else, but he takes

care of his business. His money is always

straight and his crew is holding things down in

Brownsville."

Daman was one of Bless's younger

Lieutenants that he had taken a liking to. They

had a history Bless put him on five years ago

when he was fourteen years old and now the

kid had Brownsville on lock. Omar put Bless

onto what was going down in the hood.

Inside the house Iris was looking Tess in

the eyes, "Yo! Tess you haven't come to see

me in a while. I miss you," Iris stated.

"I miss you too, Iris. You know you're

my best friend," Tess replied with a smile.

"Have you told him about the contract

killings we've been doing for Ricardo?" Iris

asked. Tess never told the other members of

her group who they were doing the hits for.

She only told Iris because they were close.

"No, I don't really know how to tell him,"

Tess responded.

"What! You told him about the four

million you have, right," Iris replied.

"I haven't told him yet. I got the money

stashed in a Swiss bank account. I'll tell him

soon somehow."

"So how much he think you got?"

"Three million in drug money, about two

million and four hundred thousand in the real

estate company is what he knows. I will get

around to telling him about the money I have

stashed. He wants to make another two million

and put it in our real estate company that way

the money looks legit and leave this drug

game," Tess explained.

"So, that's it huh!" Iris replied.

"Yeah," Tess responded.

Iris moved in closer to kiss Tess on the

lips, but Tess pulled back. Anger rose Iris'

eyes, "Yo, what the fuck? Now, I can't kiss

you," Iris yelled.

"Nah! It's just that I'm not feeling it right

now," Tess replied.

"Yo, what the fuck you mean," Iris said

feeling hurt. "Now, Bless is back there's no

more us! I have been fucking you for three

years and now he's home you acting like I'm

nothing."

"It's not that, Iris." Tess didn't know how

to tell her that she was only using her to fill a

spot that needed to be filled until Bless was

home.

Tess had love for Iris. She was her best

friend and could eat the hell out of her pussy,

but truth be told she didn't have shit on her

man. Tess and Bless been together for years

and he knew her body like no one ever would.

Everything they learned sexually, they learned

it together. Tess loved Iris, but she wasn't in

love with her. Her heart belonged to one and

one only, and that was Bless and now he was

home. The thought of anybody else touching

her body, freaked her out.

Iris broke her train of thought, "So it's

like that."

"No Mami, it's not," Tess lied not trying

to hurt Iris's emotions, but knew in her heart it

will have to be done sooner or later.

Tess walked up to Iris and kissed her

deeply and passionately, Iris got wet. She was

open with Tess anyone would be. 'Oh how I

miss Tess' sweet lips and tender touch. It's

been a whole month since we made love,' Iris

thought to herself.

Just then Bless walked in the house and

was watching Iris and Tess kiss. It reminded

him of the first time he'd seen them kiss. It

was Tess' eighteenth birthday and they were

celebrating it and how well they were doing in

the drug game. It had been three years since

they killed D-Low and took over all the weed

spots and crack spots in the hood. Bless had a

small party at his place for Tess and had

everybody high out of their mind. That was the

first time Tess and Iris tried ecstasy. After the

party ended Bless walked into his bedroom to

find Tess and Iris kissing. The E had them

high and horny. It was the first time they all

slept together.

Bless snapped back to reality and was

staring at the women kissing. He pulled out a

blunt and lit it up. Iris turned her face and saw

him and she began pulling down her jeans.

Tess did the same removing all her clothes.

Bless blew weed smoke out through his nose

as he watched their bodies. His dick grew

hard. It was amazing to him how both

women's bodies were the same. Both had the

same thick thighs and fat ass and nipples big

enough to fit in your mouth. The only thing

different between them was Iris's brown skin

complexion and you could see the Spanish in

her. Tess was a sexy chocolate. You could

tell she came from some kind of island.

Tess and Iris walked to the bedroom

followed by Bless. Both women walked over to

him and removed all his clothes while kissing

him on the neck and chest. Iris grabbed his

dick and began to suck and lick around the tip

of it.

"Oh shit that feels good," Bless moaned

as Iris deep throated his dick sucking and

working her magic.

Bless grabbed Tess by her waist and

pulled her to him and sucked on her nipples.

The women pushed him down on the king size

bed. He lay there with his ten inch dick pointed

up in the air. Tess crawled to him on the bed

and lowered her pussy on his face.

"Mmm, yea daddy suck it," she moaned.

Bless gently sucked her clit while Iris sat

on him guiding his dick into her with a smile.

Bless placed his hands on her fat ass and gave

her long strokes. Soon Iris was sliding up and

down wilding out on his dick. "Yes, yes, fuck

me. I can feel you in my stomach." Iris

opened her eyes in disbelief at the sensation

she was feeling. She now understood why

Tess loved his dick so much because she was

feeling the same way. Bless pounded deeper

and deeper inside, "Ooh shit ooh shit! I can't

take this dick. It's too sweet, oh my God." Iris

came all over Bless's dick, hopped off, and

licked his dick clean.

"Oh yeah, Mami. I like that." Bless took

Tess off his face and she got on her knees and

held the head board as he entered her from

behind. "Ooh daddy," she yelled as he

pounded away until her cum was running down

his balls. Her body quivered all over and he

pulled his dick out and started licking and

eating her ass making her even more wet.

Bless helped Tess up and made Iris

crawl under her and sat Tess on her face. Iris

licked and sucked on her pussy while Bless put

his tongue in Tess' ass and fucked her with it.

There was too much sensation for Tess to

take. She busted nut after nut all over them.

Then Bless made both women get on their

knees and fucked the shit out of both of them

from the back. He beat Tess' pussy up and

then slid into Iris and tore up her pussy. He

went back and forth, fucking both, driving both

women crazy. This lasted four hours leaving

all of them tired and sweating.

"Yo, I got to take a shower. You two get

up and take one with me," Bless ordered.

"I can't move baby, my pussy sore. You

fucked the shit out of me," Tess replied.

"Me too," Iris said barely able to open

her eyes. "Yo, that dick is the truth," Iris stated.

"Yo girls, we have some business to

handle or did I fuck your brains out that you

both forgot," Bless responded.

"Well yes, you did nigga and I didn't

remember until you reminded me," Tess said in

weak voice. All three of them jumped in the

shower together and washed each other up

and down and then got dressed.

Meeting the Connect 

## Chapter 13

Bless went to the basement and

grabbed a bag and two twin 45 handguns and

put them in his shoulder holsters under his

arms. He came back upstairs to see Tess fully

dressed in a black dress and one of her thick

ass sexy legs leaning on a chair. Tess placed

a sub nose 357 revolver in the holster on her

inner thigh. "Shit girl looking at those legs I'm

ready to go another round," Bless said with a

devilish grin on his face.

"Shit boy, I'm sore as hell. I ain't

messing with your ass no more this week,"

Tess stated and Bless laughed.

"Yo, where Iris?" he asked.

"She went home to get some sleep. I

hope the poor girl can make the drive to her

place after you fucked her like that," Tess

responded.

"Hey, no one told her to mess with this

big chocolate dick anyways," he said with a

smile. They left the house and jumped into a

black Range Rover. "Tess we need to talk,"

Bless said.

"Okay, we do it on the way there." Tess

jumped in the driver's seat, pulled her gun out,

and passed it to Bless. Bless pressed a button

and the floor of the passenger seat moved

back opening stash boxes. Bless placed their

guns in the bag and pressed the button again

until the secret stash boxes were covered up.

Tess started the truck and headed to Brooklyn

Bridge and uptown to the Bronx on the FDR

Drive. They made their way to 183rd Street and

Andrews Avenue.

In the Bronx, 183rd Street was one of the

worst places. It crossed through most of the

Bronx and a lot of people got killed there. That

is where Tess's connect ran most of his

business from. Tess had met him three years

before while Bless was locked up. So, she

would be doing most of the talking for them.

Bless opened the stash box, took out his twin

45's, and put them in his holster and passed

Tess her sub nose 3.57 which she put in her

thigh holster. Bless took the bag he put in the

stash box and got out of the truck.

As Tess lead him to a building filled with

Black and Spanish dudes in front just standing

there smoking weed and talking loudly, Bless

had his hands in his jacket next to his gun and

he was ready for anything. He didn't trust

anyone. Tess had told him earlier that

everyone around there worked for Ricardo and

his brother, Jose. So they were good around

there, but they always stayed on point, no

matter what.

Everybody knew who Tess and Bless

were. Their names rang bells on all streets

and motherfuckers knew they'd be dead in a

heartbeat if they fucked with them or made a

wrong move. Tess and Bless walked past the

guys in front of the building and pressed a bell

that buzzed them in. They walked up to the

third floor to Apartment 309. When Tess was

about to ring the bell, the door opened with a

tall Spanish guy standing there, "¿Como estas,

Tess? How are you doing?" The guy at the

door asked.

"I'm fine Ricardo and you?" Tess

responded.

"Lovely, just lovely," he said while

moving to the side to let Tess and Bless enter

the apartment. Once inside the apartment

Ricardo looked at Bless. "This must be the

infamous Bless. I'm happy to finally meet you.

The streets have a lot to say about you,"

Ricardo stated.

"I hope it was all good," Bless

responded as they shook hands.

"Some good and a lot scary," Ricardo

said as an overweight Spanish man was

standing close by in the living room. Bless

looked at the man. "This is my older brother,

Jose," Ricardo replied.

Jose didn't smile nor say a word. He

was a straight business and serious type of

person. Under his shirt and fat belly was a

sixteen shot 9 mm handgun. Tess felt how

Bless was taking in everything and started to

talk.

"So, Ricardo this will be my last time

doing business with you," Tess interjected.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Ricardo

responded.

Before Tess had gone over there with

Bless, she had called Ricardo and told him she

was done with the game and not just the drug

game, but the contract killing too. She told him

not to talk about the hits she did in front of

Bless today. That was cool with Ricardo

because he didn't want his brother, Jose, to

know too much of the details about their

business anyway.

Jose spoke for the first time, "Pass the

money so I can weigh it and make sure it's all

there,"

Bless passed him the money with an

attitude. He didn't like Jose or Ricardo for

some reason and for the fact he was

questioned if their money was straight. Jose

took the bag full of money, went in the back

room, and came right back out.

"It's all there," he replied.

Ricardo got on the phone and called

one of his workers outside. "Tess, give me the

keys to your car." Tess passed Ricardo the

keys and a young Spanish dude came to the

apartment door. Ricardo said something in

Spanish and passed him the keys. "It'll only

take a few minutes, Tess." Ricardo stated.

"I know Ricardo," Tess replied.

"For the two hundred and fifty thousand

you gave me, I'll give you a key at ten

thousand a piece, but I give you five more keys

for all the business we did over the years."

For the whole time Tess and Ricardo

spoke, Bless had his hand on his gun in his

jacket just in case he needed to pull it out fast.

For some reason, he kept on getting a bad

feeling about Ricardo. Jose seemed all about

business to him, but Bless' instincts never lied

and over the years he learned to trust his gut

and his gut said Ricardo was bad news. Even

worse, he knew Tess was hiding something

from him. The young worker returned to the

apartment and handed Ricardo the keys and

he passed the keys to Tess.

"Well, bye Ricardo. It has been nice

doing business with you." Tess said.

"You too, you too," Ricardo said while

shaking Bless's hand and they left.

In the Range Rover, there was a big bag

on the floor of the backseat. Bless looked in to

find thirty keys of coke. He put the bag in the

stash box as Tess started the truck and they

took off. "Baby, you okay?" Tess asked seeing

that he wasn't acting like his normal self.

"Yeah, I'm just thinking that's all." The

whole ride home Bless didn't say a word. Tess

knew in her heart that Bless felt that she was

keeping something from him and she knew it

was only a matter of time before she had to

come clean and tell him about the contract

killing.

Trying to Reveal the Truth 

## Chapter 14

Meanwhile in the Bronx, Jose was using

everything in his power and all his connects to

find out who killed his brother up in Philly. His

little brother ran the weight spot in Philly before

he died and Jose and Ricardo ran everything

else from the Bronx to Miami. Jose had

already found out it was a paid hit on his

brother and that the killer could have been a

woman or some kind of set up, but he didn't

have all the information he needed. Jose loved

his little brother and had taught him not to trust

anyone and it burnt Jose up to know that

Hector had let his guard down and let someone

get close to him. What was worse to Jose was

that it seemed as if Ricardo was always too

busy to help him try to find out who killed their

brother. For Jose, there was nothing more

important than family.

Ricardo was sitting on the couch in the

living room of his Riverhead house in

Washington Heights wondering how he was

going to kill his brother Jose and take over the

business when a beautiful Spanish woman

named

Sonja came out the bedroom.

"Ricardo, what are you doing, Papi?" She

asked, "I need some of your loving."

"I'm thinking, woman. I'll come to you

when I'm ready and not sooner."

Sonja got on her hands and knees and

crawled to Ricardo. Ricardo looked at her then

he looked in her sexy eyes and couldn't help

but to get turned on. He felt bad because he

knew he had to kill such a beautiful woman

when he was done with her. He wouldn't let

her leave knowing where he lived, no one

knew where his house was at, not even his

brother and he was going to keep it that way.

Unlike Hector, he remembered what Jose

taught him about trusting women and never let

anyone know where he rested his head.

Sonja pulled down Ricardo's pants,

grabbed his dick, and began to suck it and

deep throat it. Putting his dick all the way in

her mouth until it touched the back of her neck.

Enjoying the taste of him not knowing it would

be the last dick she would ever taste. Ricardo

laid her on the living room floor and slid into

her. "Ooh, si Papi, si Papi, I like it. I like it," she

moaned as Ricardo fucked her harder and

harder.

Then he put his big hands around her

neck and began to squeeze tighter. Sonja

thought it was some freaky sex shit and went

with it. "Oh Papi, yes choke me, fuck this

pussy." Ricardo did just that. "You like that

you slut," he yelled.

"Si Papi, yes." His grip tightened and

Sonja felt as if she couldn't breathe and then

realized she couldn't. "Ri..Ric...Ricardo, I...I

can't," the words wouldn't escape her mouth.

She bucked her body to try to throw him off,

but he was too heavy. She began to scratch

his hands and his face, but her fight went in

vain and everything went black. She stopped

breathing and Ricardo kept pounding and

humping away at her dead body. His last

thoughts while he was coming inside her, 'I'm

going to have to dump this bitch in the river

when I'm done!'

The Calm before the Storm 

## Chapter 15

### Three

months

had

passed

and

everything was going as planned for Bless and

Tess. They already made eight hundred

thousand dollars in drug money and that was

after paying all the workers. Omar and Ebony

had the Brooklyn spots on lock and Vanessa

and Iris were running the Philly spots. Each

spot was pulling way over one hundred forty

thousand dollars per week easy. Business

was good.

Even though business was good,

Bless's heart wasn't into it anymore. He was

all about his real estate company. He had just

bought a new building in Harlem with some of

the money Tess had saved for him. Tess was

at the real estate company in Hillside, Queens

running the day to day business. Bless was

sitting on the couch in their Long Beach home

looking at a list of buildings for sale. He

planned on going to the addresses and look at

them personally and choose a couple to buy

and rent them out. He thought to himself,

'Soon this will all be over. I'll be all the way out

the game and I could start a family.'

His cell phone rang bringing him out his

thoughts. He picked it up. "Hi, you have a

collect call from a man named G. Press 5 if

you want to receive this call, press 0 if you

want to disconnect." Bless pressed 5. "G

what's up buddy, you chilled." Bless said.

"Yeah youngster, you know the same

old shit just a different day," G replied.

"Yo, you got that package I sent you,"

Bless asked.

"Yeah I got it and those butt magazines

you ordered for me too." They both laughed.

Ever since Bless got out of jail, he'd been

holding down G and Burt, his two old heads

and he held down Gunner for taking the rap for

that body. He sent him money and packages.

He even sent his family money making sure

they were always straight. Bless made sure all

three men would never want again. In his eyes

and heart real niggas do real things. "Yo G,

what's going on?" Bless asked.

"I got some news for you youngster and

you not going to like all of what I got to say," G

replied.

"Yeah G so speak."

"Yo, that fool June was killed. Someone

got him in the shower slipping." G said.

"Well I don't know why you think I'd get

upset over that," Bless stated.

"I'm not done youngster. The person

that killed him died too," G said with a pain in

his voice.

"Word. Who was that?"

G paused for a minute and then said, "It

was Burt."

"What the fuck you mean it was Burt?

What you trying to say G," Bless yelled. Bless

knew what G had said, but he didn't want to

believe what he was hearing. G was the wild

type, not Burt. "Yo G, Burt don't get down like

that," Bless stated.

"Well he did," G said, "From what I

heard, he overheard June talking about

snitching on what happened in the yard that

day to get you locked back up. So Burt got him

while in the shower. He stabbed June four

times, but never seen the razor before it was

too late. June cut his neck and he bled to

death. I was in the yard working out at the

time. I didn't find out what happened until they

had the jail on lockdown and correctional

officers found Burt and June dead in the

showers."

"When did this happen?" Bless asked.

"Yesterday youngster, the jail was on

lock so I couldn't call you."

"Shit G, this shit is fucking with my

head."

"I know me too," G replied. "Yo, I got to

go. I'll holla at you later. One youngster."

"One G," Bless said as he hung up the

phone. "Shit, how could Burt be dead and he

did it for me," Bless said to no one but himself.

Bless was devastated. Burt helped him get

through his bid with words of wisdom and

knowledge that would always stick with him,

'Go straight youngster. Life is too short,' Burt

would always tell him. "Shit!" Bless yelled.

Bless pulled out a Dutch and some haze

weed and rolled it up, sparked it, and smoked

for a while hoping the weed would clear his

head. When it didn't work and just left him

high, he thought, 'shit I need to go for a drive to

clear my mind.' Bless went outside and got in

to the Burgundy Bentley GT coupe Tess had

got him. It was his favorite car because it was

a gift from Tess plus the doors that come up in

the air.

Bless sat in his car and noticed that the

car doors were unlocked. His mind was all

over the place. Maybe he'd forgotten to lock

the car last night. He pressed the start button

and the car came to life. Then he realized he

forgot his gun. He went nowhere without it just

as he was about to step out of the car. He

noticed something in the back seat. It was a

black box. The box had numbers counting

down from three. "Oh shit!" Bless said and

jumped out of the car trying to run as far as he

could away from it, but it was a little too late.

BOOM! The car blew up and was on fire.

Bless was knocked out from the blast. His

world was now dark.

Things Aren't as Sweet as You Want Them 

## Chapter 16

Tess was working hard on getting her

real estate agents to sell as many houses as

they could. Her favorite agent was Claudia.

She always found a way to get the job done

and Tess loved that. Business was better for

her and the real estate company. She was

proud of herself for running it so well and knew

Bless was too. Sometimes it amazed her how

she could go from being a killer in the streets to

a business woman in a three- piece suit.

"Claudia, did you put those two Queens

houses up for sale yet?" Tess asked.

"Yes and Ms. Adams' house too,"

Claudia stated.

"I always could count on you," Tess

said.

"Oh yeah, I picked up the rent money for

the two Brooklyn buildings and the one in

Queens. The money is in the company

account and I have a buyer for Mr. Thomas'

house on Rockaway Boulevard. I have one of

the agents working on it as we speak."

"That's great Claudia. In an hour or so

you and I will take our lunch break."

"Alright," Claudia replied. "How are the

other agents working out?" Tess asked.

Tess

had also

given

Claudia

a

management spot in the company so she

watched the other agents and sold the houses

as well. It gave Tess time to take care of her

business on the street without worrying about

her real estate company. She knew it was in

good hands with Claudia.

"Things couldn't be any better," Claudia

responded.

Tess' cell phone began to ring. She

knew it could only be her girls or Bless

because they were the only ones with the

number. "Hold on Claudia, I'll talk to you later I

have to take this call." She answered her

phone.

"Hey girl," the voice on the other line

said.

"What's good?" Tess asked.

"Just chilling you know," the voice

replied. It was Vanessa calling from Philly.

"Shit, I'm just trying to do this company

thing," Tess said.

"Girl, I know you been busy because we

haven't hung out in a while," Vanessa said. "I

guess Bless got that pussy on lockdown,"

Vanessa stated.

"Girl, please! It's the other way around.

I got that dick on lock." They both busted out

laughing.

"I guess you and Ebony are the same

because I can't get her away from that man to

spend time with me either," Vanessa said.

"Yo, so what's good? Are you almost

done?" Tess was talking about the twelve kilos

of cocaine that Vanessa and Iris were selling in

Philly.

"Half of the work was on the block with

the workers out there, almost done. But yo,

this bitch Iris just got up and left me out here."

"What you mean she left you," Tess

said.

"Yo, she's been gone for two days now,

not counting today and she called me talking

about she's taking care of business. Shit, what

that bitch think I'm doing out here," Vanessa

said.

"Yo, why didn't you call me sooner and

tell me this?"

"Girl, I didn't want you to worry about

that shit. I handled it and thought she would be

back sooner than tonight, plus that bitch hasn't

been right. She been acting all funny and shit

because you stopped giving her some pussy,

HA HA HA HA!" They both laughed.

"Girl, you're not right," Tess said. Then

Tess heard a beep on her phone letting her

know she had someone else on the line

waiting. "Yo, Vanessa someone is calling me.

I'll call you back later."

"Girl, you know damn well it's Bless

wanting some of that pussy."

"HA HA HA HA, bye girl!"

Tess clicked over and a woman's voice

came on, "Hello may I speak to Ms. Cage?"

"Speaking," Tess said wondering how

she got this number.

"Ms. Cage, I'm calling you on behalf of

Sean Web. He is at Jamaica Queens'

Hospital. He has been in a car accident, but

he's okay."

"What do you mean he's been in a car

accident?"

"I can't tell you any more details over the

phone."

"Shit, I'm on my way." Tess jumped in

her BMW and rushed to the hospital. She

parked her car in the parking lot and ran up to

the emergency room's entrance. Tess saw a

nurse at the desk. "I'm looking for my

husband, Sean Web," she said out of breath.

The nurse looked up his room and made

Tess sign in. "He's in room 210."

Tess ran until she found the room with

tears flowing down her face and saying a silent

prayer. She had already lost him to jail for a

while and she went crazy with that thought.

She didn't know what she would do if

something happened to him. As she reached

the room, a doctor came out. Tess grabbed the

doctor by the arm. "I'm here for Sean Web, is

he okay? I'm his wife."

"He's fine, miss, just a few burns on the

head." The doctor replied.

"May I see him?"

"Yes, go right in dear."

Tess entered the room to find Bless

getting dressed with his back turned to her.

She looked at all the muscles in his back and

arms and his chocolate skin and got all wet

and thought, 'Damn how I love this man.' "Hey

daddy," her voice made Bless turn around with

a smile on his face. Tess ran to him and

kissed him while tears ran down her face and

onto their lips. Bless pulled back and wiped

her eyes. "You had me worried," she said. "I

love you."

"I love you too, baby," Bless replied.

"What happened? On the phone the

nurse said you were in a car accident?"

"Accident my ass Tess someone put a

bomb in my car and they didn't have enough

time to hide it right because I saw it just in time.

I jumped the fuck out of the car, but not soon

enough, the fucking blast knocked my ass out.

The cops said it was C-4 in the car and were

asking all kinds of questions like who wanted to

kill me. Shit, if I knew that, the motherfucker

would be dead," Bless stated. He got angry

just thinking about it. "Yo, let's get out of here

before those cops come back asking more

questions. We don't need 5.0 all in our

business when we're so close to our goal."

"Baby, did the doctor say it was okay for

you to leave," Tess asked.

"He said I'm okay, but he wants me to

stay the night. I'm not with that. So, we're

out," Bless said.

"Okay Baby," Tess replied. On the drive

home, Bless was in deep thought. 'Who would

try to kill him? He had no beef with anyone, if

he did, he and Tess would have handled it by

now.' Tess was thinking the same thing and

hoped it wasn't her past coming back to bite

her in the ass, but she knew she'd been careful

with all of her hits and no one knew she was

behind them.

Slowing Shit Down 

## Chapter 17

Back in the Bronx, Jose was paying

anyone who had information about his

brother's murder. He was on the phone all

hours of the day and even put the word on the

street that he'd pay three million dollars for

information and more if someone brought the

killer to him. This worried Ricardo. He knew if

his brother kept digging he would soon find the

information he wanted. The streets were

always watching and listening and someone

would find out. Ricardo couldn't let that

happen because it would lead back to him.

There was only one thing to do. Ricardo went

into the back bedroom leaving Jose on the

phone in the living room.

In the bedroom, Ricardo pulled out his

cell phone and called Danilo. "Yo," Danilo

answered already knowing who it was from the

caller ID seen on his cell phone.

"Danilo I need you to handle something

for me in Brooklyn." Ricardo said.

"Say no more," Danilo said already

knowing what Ricardo wanted to be handled in

Brooklyn. Danilo had been waiting for this call

for a while. Ricardo had told him months ago

what he wanted him to do, but told him to wait

for his call.

"You know what to do," Ricardo said.

"Yeah Ricardo, just drop that off at the

same spot as always." Danilo was talking

about the money and with that said Ricardo

hung up.

The Canarsie Mayhem 

## Chapter 18

"Damn that was good boo," Omar said

to Ebony. "You know I needed that," Omar

stated.

"Yeah, but nigga you said it would be a

quickie," Ebony said with a smile. "Shit that

lasted for two hours. You fucked the shit out of

me."

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too," Omar said.

"But on the real I have to get ready to drop off

this money at the stash house," he said while

pulling up his jeans.

Bless and Tess had stash houses just

for money and drugs all over the city. Ebony

watched his body as he got dressed. Omar

was skinny, but cut up. He was brown skin with

long dreads that came down his back. Ebony

had been running the Brooklyn spot by herself

until Bless put Omar on. Together, Omar and

Ebony

ran

Brownsville,

Crown

Heights,

Flatbush, South Ozone, and Queens for Tess

and Bless for years. They had soldiers that

held the block down and Ebony and Omar just

picked up money or handled problems when

someone tried to take one of their spots or sell

on their blocks. They gave the soldiers orders

and did hits with them. Each spot had their

own lieutenant and any problem got handled

through the lieutenant then through them if the

lieutenant couldn't handle it. Omar and Ebony

was always together which also led into a deep

relationship between them. They bought a

two-story house in Canarsie together that Tess'

real estate company helped them to find.

Ebony was on the bed counting the rest

of the money to put in the bag that Omar was

taking to the stash house. She had a long t-

shirt on that came down to her waist and a pair

of booty short panties on. Ebony's phone rang.

She picked up her house phone. "Yo baby

sis," Vanessa said, even though they were the

same age, but had different mothers. Vanessa

was only older by three months. "How are you

doing?" Vanessa asked.

"I'm chilling, but I miss you. How are

things in Philly?" Ebony asked.

"Shits running smooth. I miss you too

girl and what's good with your blocks,"

Vanessa asked.

"Shit, we're pretty much done out here.

The last of the work is on the block," Ebony

replied.

"Yo, did you feed Crew Crew?" Vanessa

asked. Crew Crew was Vanessa's dog.

"Yeah, I went by your house today and

let him out in the back yard and fed him,"

Ebony stated.

"Thank you. So sis, how are you and

your boo, Omar doing?" Vanessa asked.

"You know he treats me good."

"He better if he knows what's good for

him," Vanessa said. "I'll put a bullet in his ass."

Omar looked at Ebony smile, "Yo, who

are you talking too?" he asked.

"My sister said hi," she lied not wanting

him to know what Vanessa had really said.

"Yo, Vanessa I got to go and take care of some

business." Ebony said.

"Okay," Vanessa said.

"I love you," Ebony responded.

"I love you too," Vanessa said back and

hung up the phone.

"Yo Ebony, you done counting the rest

of that money?" Omar asked.

"Yeah," She gave him the rest of the

money and he put it in the bag.

Two black cars pulled up to Avenues L

and M in Canarsie in front of a house. In each

car, were five men dressed in black. Danilo

knew where to find his first target because he

was from Flatbush, Brooklyn and it was easy to

find them. Everybody knew who they were and

no one in their right mind would dare fuck with

them or their team. But Danilo was far from

being in his right state of mind and he loved his

work. It paid well. Five gunmen surrounded

the back of the house and the next five took

the front.

Omar grabbed the bag full of money and

headed for the door. "Yo boo, I'll be right

back," Omar said.

"Hold up nigga, ain't you forgetting

something," Ebony said.

"Oh yeah," he kissed Ebony on the lips,

put his tongue in her mouth, and savored her

taste. Then pulled away and looked her in the

eyes. "How can I forget that," he replied.

"Mmm," Ebony moaned. "That was

good, but I wasn't talking about that and with

that she ran upstairs to their bedroom. Omar

looked at her pretty dark skin complexioned

ass in her booty short panties jiggling as she

went up the stairs. Ebony returned with her

hands behind her back, "I was talking about

this." She handed him twin forty caliber

handguns.

"Okay yeah," Omar said while putting

them on his waist. He hugged Ebony and

grabbed her fat ass in appreciation.

Omar opened the front door to leave as

a man dressed in all black was standing there

with a gun in his hand. Four more men were

coming up behind him. Omar's first instinct told

him this was a robbery. He dropped the bag

and pulled out his twin forty caliber handguns,

but not before the man at the door raised his

gun to Omar's head. Omar knew he was too

slow and too late and then a shot rang off. He

thought he was dead until he saw the man at

the door drop to the floor. He turned to find

Ebony holding a Glock 19 pointed right at the

front door.

Omar stopped out of shock and started

blasting at the four coming gunmen. Boom,

boom, boom! One shot hit one of the gunmen

in the head, but the rest were still coming.

Omar ran deeper into the house for cover.

Omar took a quick look for Ebony, but couldn't

see her.

"Ebony! Ebony! Where you at?" Omar

hollered.

Just then the back door blew open from

a gunshot and more men were entering the

house. He tried to shoot at the front door to

keep the men from entering. Then he tried to

shoot at the front door and the back door at the

same time, but it was no use there were too

many gunmen coming in at him.

Out of nowhere Ebony came out of one

of the rooms from upstairs. She stood on the

stairs and aimed for the back door and all

Omar heard was rapid fire. BRRRRRRR!

Ebony was on the stairs with a Tech-9 mm

busting off shots. Two gunmen at the back

door tried to move, but didn't make it in time.

The bullets from the Tech-9mm tore through

their bodies leaving them dead where they

stood.

Omar was shooting at the front door

with both forty caliber handguns. When he

noticed he was out of bullets, he crouched low

behind the couch wondering what to do next.

Ebony was still firing shots, but without Omar

to cover the front door. Danilo started to fire at

her from the door frame.

"Oh shit," Omar yelled as one bullet hit

Ebony in the arm and she fell. Omar stood up

and ran up the stairs and two bullets hit him in

the back. He used his body to cover Ebony

from the shots making Danilo duck for cover.

Two gunmen at the front door fired back, but

Ebony's bullets were coming too fast at them.

Bullets hit one of the gunmen in the face and

head ten times at once. Ebony moved Omar's

body, "Baby get up! I need you! Baby!"

"Hmmm," Omar pulled his body up and

Ebony and him made it up the stairs of their

house to one of the bedrooms. In the

bedroom, Ebony looked at Omar's wounds in

his back. "Shit baby, you going to be okay,"

she said while a tear fell down her face.

Omar looked at her, "I love you Ebony."

He got up and went up under the bed and

pulled out a chrome Mossberg pump shot gun.

By now Danilo and his team were

making their way up the stairs, moving fast, but

being cautious and using the walls as cover.

"This is taking too long we need to finish this

before the cops get here," Danilo said to his

men.

"Listen Ebony, I need you to go out of

the window and run to the car," Omar said as

the blood was leaving his body making him feel

weak.

"No, I can't leave you."

"Listen!" he shouted, "We've both been

shot and you will bleed to death if you don't

go."

Ebony almost forgot about her own

wound because she was too busy worrying

about Omar. Ebony looked down at her arm

and knew Omar was right. "Baby, I love you,"

Ebony said then she kissed him.

"Go!" Omar yelled, "I hear them

coming."

Danilo's men were up the stairs now.

There were three bedrooms up stairs and four

of them. They started to reach the first room.

Ebony went to the window and looked back at

Omar for one last time. She knew it would be

the last time she saw him alive. She climbed

out the window. One of the men in the hallway

heard the noise and headed to the bedroom

down the hallway. He made it to the door and

was getting ready to open it when boom. A

shotgun roared and blew a hole in the door the

size of a bowling ball, hitting the gunman and

killing him instantly.

The other three gunmen saw their

partner die in front of their eyes and were now

aiming at the door with their guns. Just then

the door flew open. Omar stepped out and let

the shotgun roar. He fired the shots and two of

the gunmen went down, but were still standing.

One gunman was on his knees firing shots all

over the place before he died. Bullets hit Omar

on his chest and stomach. He screamed in

pain, but kept firing. "I'll kill you all," he yelled.

Omar ran straight at the gunmen and

bullets ripped through his body. He fired the

shotgun one last time blowing off the last

gunman's head like a pumpkin then fell to the

floor and died. His last thoughts were of

Ebony. Outside Ebony heard Omar's screams.

She wanted to go back to help him, but knew it

was already too late. Tears were flowing down

her face as she ran barefoot to her car down

the block with her tech-9mm gripped in one

hand.

She made it to her Benz Coupe, jumped

in, and started the car. Her instincts told her to

turn her head. She turned to find a man

standing at the passenger side door with a

3.57 revolver aimed at her.

Danilo knew one of them would run to

their car if they got away and planned for it. He

didn't go upstairs with the rest of his men. He

was waiting outside just in case the target

might escape and he was right. Danilo thought

to himself this was a sexy ass bitch, but she

had to die.

That moment of hesitation gave Ebony

time to raise her Tech-9mm. BRRRRRR!

Boom! Boom! Both guns went off

simultaneously. The 3.57 put holes in the car

and into Ebony's head, neck, and chest. She

squeezed the trigger and was only able to get

out a few shots off before she died. Danilo laid

on the ground bleeding. His whole right side

was shot up. "Damn, that bitch hit me," he said

to himself. He was too weak to move soon he

would bleed to death. The cops made it to the

scene to find a blood bath. They blocked off

the neighborhood.

"We have ten bodies inside the house

sergeant," one of the cops said.

"Hey guys down here," another cop

yelled. Down the block the cops walked to a

Mercedes Benz- Coupe. "There's a dead

woman in there," the cop said.

"Shit, look at the fucking holes in this

car? It had to have been a big ass gun."

"Hey, there is blood outside the car too.

I wonder why," one cop replied.

"Maybe she got the fucker who killed her

ass. Fuck it. It's more than likely drug related.

Look at the fucking car. I can't afford one of

these and look at the house that shit is better

than mine. I say they killed each other and

made our jobs easier," the sergeant said and

all the cops busted out laughing.

Danilo somehow made it to his car and

he headed to his cousin's house on Flatlands

not too far from where he was. He had lost a

lot of blood and crashed the car twice before

he got there. "Oh shit," Danilo's cousin yelled.

He was sitting on his steps smoking a blunt

when Danilo stepped out of the car covered in

blood with a gun in his hand. "Danilo," he

yelled. He grabbed him and took him to his car

and started driving off. "Yo, what happened,"

his cousin asked.

"Nothing, just take me to a hospital, not

in Brooklyn, but Queens fast and when they fix

me we're heading out of town."

Danilo already had some of the money

for the hit. It was five hundred thousand

dollars a piece for each member he killed in

Tess and Bless's team. He had one million

because Ebony and Omar were easy to find,

but Bless and Tess had too many houses to

find them. Danilo had already lost nine men

just trying to kill two members of their crew. He

wasn't about to put his life on the line to try to

kill the rest of them. He'd been shot in his

chest and his right side by that bitch. He'd be

damned if he'd let it happen again.

Bad News 

## Chapter 19

Tess and Bless heard about what had

happened to Ebony and Omar from the streets

and not to mention it was all over the news.

The cops were calling it the Canarsie

bloodbath. "Baby, we have to handle this shit,"

Tess said. "First, a bomb in your car and now

someone put a hit on Ebony and Omar," Tess

stated.

"Yeah, you're right, but how do you

know it was a hit," Bless responded.

"Baby, they left the money in the house

it was at the front door and cops found it. I

have to call Vanessa and tell her about Ebony,"

Tess said.

"Yo, you know she's going to go crazy."

"I know, but I have to be the one she

hears it from." Tess went into the bedroom of

their long beach house leaving Bless to his

thoughts while he watched the news on TV.

In the bedroom, Tess cried hysterically

over her childhood friend. Ebony, Iris and

Vanessa had been friends for five years now

and been in the game together that long. They

were all her girls and now Ebony was gone.

With tears in her eyes, she picked up

the phone next to the bed and dialed

Vanessa's number, "Yo Tess, what's good girl,"

Vanessa said knowing it was her. "I haven't

heard from you since yesterday when Bless

called you to get some of that good stuff, HA!

HA! HA!" Vanessa busted out laughing from

her own joke. Even when she noticed Tess

wasn't laughing with her nor had she said a

word, Vanessa thought it was about business.

It was the one time Tess put their friendship to

the side and got serious. "Yo, I'm about done

with that work and Iris is still M.I.A., but she'll

show up. She always does," Vanessa said.

"Yo, Vanessa this ain't about business,"

Tess replied. "Vanessa, you know I love you."

"I love you too, Tess." Vanessa could

hear the tears in her voice and knew

something was wrong.

"Yo, Tess what's wrong?" She knew

Tess wasn't the type to just cry over shit out of

all the years she knew her. Tess was one of

the strongest women she knew. "Tess you're

okay? What is it?"

"Vanessa someone killed Ebony and

Omar tonight."

"Nooo," Vanessa yelled and started to

cry into the phone. "Who.... who killed my

sister? Who? Who Tess?"

"I don't know yet but mark my words

we're going to find out." Tess said. Vanessa

was crying non- stop over her sister. "Listen

Vanessa, I'll be waiting for you when you get

here. I love you."

Vanessa didn't hear her, her mind was

lost on her sister's death, with that Vanessa

hung up the phone and cried the night away.

Tess sat on her bed with tears in her eyes and

grabbed her pink pearl handle 3.80 from up

under her pillow. "I promise Ebony. I promise

I'll kill whoever did this to you. I promise," Tess

said as she looked up to the ceiling with tears

rolling down her face. She tightened her grip

on her gun.

CASH 

## Chapter 20

Jose picked up his cell phone, "Hola,

who is this?" he asked.

A voice came on, "I have the information

you wanted on who killed your brother."

"So, where do you want to meet," Jose

asked.

"I don't," the person on the other line

said. "I want you to drop the money off where I

tell you and then I'll give you the information

you want."

"You just want me to drop off two million

dollars and hope you give me the info? Get

the fuck out of here," Jose yelled. The voice

on the line hung up the phone. Jose just

realized he made a mistake. That person

could've led him to his brother's killer. "Shit call

back, call back," he said to himself. Ten

minutes went by and Jose was worried that he

lost the info he needed then his phone rang.

He picked it up.

"Are you ready to deal," the voice asked.

"Yes, yes," Jose replied.

"Now, Jose for making me mad I feel

two million ain't enough. I want eight million

and don't act like you don't have it. You're a

fucking Dominican drug lord."

"I'll pay, but what is your name," Jose

asked.

"Well, I want your cash so call me

'Cash'."

"Okay Cash, where do you want me to

drop off the money," Jose asked.

"Just get the money ready and I'll call

you when I'm ready to tell you where to drop it

off, okay?"

"Si, yes," Jose said and the phone went

dead. Jose knew he had to go along with

Cash's plan and rules even though he didn't

like it one bit. The money wasn't the problem.

He didn't care if he lost eight million. 'Shit, that

wasn't a dime of what he was worth, but he did

care about the information on his brother's

killer and whoever was blackmailing him, this

Cash, would die too,' Jose thought to himself.

Things Just Don't Seem Right 

## Chapter 21

It had been two weeks since Ebony and

Omar's murder and Tess still hadn't found out

a clue on who put the hit on them. Ebony's

funeral was the next day and Tess was

stressed out. "Yo Mami, I know you're all

messed up in the head, but you can't blame

yourself and beat yourself up mentally," Bless

stated.

"What do you mean I can't blame

myself," Tess yelled. "She was my girl."

"I know Tess and she was my home girl,

too. I promise you we will find out who was

behind this."

"Oh you best to believe we're going to

find out who fucked with my team," Tess

yelled.

"You mean our team, Tess, our team,"

Bless said. "Yo baby, I know this ain't the time

to bring this up, but I feel you've been hiding

something from me."

"Why would you say that," Tess replied.

"Listen as soon as I came out of jail,

there has been nothing but drama."

"I don't know what the hell you're talking

about!" Tess yelled.

"Play stupid if you want, but look around

you and see what the fuck is going on," Bless

yelled. "If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong!"

"I don't want to talk about this shit right

now," Tess got up, stomped off to their

bedroom, and shut the door. Bless came into

the bedroom behind her to find her sitting on

the bed with her back turned to him. He took

off all of his clothes and sat on the bed behind

her.

"Baby, I'm sorry," he said while placing

his hands on her waist and began kissing and

sucking her neck. Tess let out a moan. Bless

continued to kiss her and remove her clothes,

her bra then her panties. "Mmm, baby, I like

that," Tess moaned.

"Lay down on your stomach," Bless

ordered. She did what he said. Bless placed

his juicy soft kisses on her neck and slowly,

very slowly, kissed down her back.

"Mmm, baby, stop teasing me." Tess

moaned.

"Just relax and enjoy it," Bless replied.

"Yes baby," she replied and just took it

all in as he was giving it to her. He took his

tongue and slid it around her ass cheeks and

thick thighs. "Hmmm Daddy." Slowly he

opened her legs and kissed her inner thighs

making his way to her clit. "Damn baby," she

yelled while Bless used his skills sucking and

licking on her clit driving her wild. "Put your

tongue in it, put youurrr, ooh." She couldn't get

the words out because Bless' tongue was all

up in her pussy dancing around.

"Get on your knees," Bless ordered.

Tess got on her knees and Bless began to eat

her from the back. "Mmmm, you like that?"

"Yes, yes, yes, daddy," she moaned as

his tongue went as far as it could go in her

pussy. Bless enjoyed every minute of it and

her sweet juices.

"Mmmm I love the way you taste."

"Taste all of it daddy all of it," and with

that he did. With his tongue deep inside of her

pussy, he pulled it in and out, over and over

again fucking her with his tongue. "Ooooohhh,

yes daddy, ooooh, mmmmm." Tess moaned

with each stroke of his tongue.

"You like that?" Bless asked.

"Yes, I love it."

He savored her taste and used his

tongue to slide across her ass and put it in and

out of her ass. Tess was in heavenly bliss

loving his long tongue inside of her with her

sweet juices on his face. He got up and put his

dick in her pussy as far as it could go, all ten

inches and pounded away. "Whose pussy is

this? Who's pussy?" Bless asked.

"It's yours, it's yours." Tess replied.

He gripped her hair and pounded her

even harder. "Yeah, yeah! This is my pussy,"

he yelled while spanking her voluptuous ass.

"Oooh yeah, fuck me... fuck me. This

dick feels so good, ahhh, ohh." Bless smacked

her ass and pumped and grinded inside her.

He pumped and humped as hard as he could

until he felt the nut building up. He gripped her

hair tighter and pulled it back making her arch

her back even more making her take even

more of his dick. "Oooh shit, ooh shit, I'm

coming. You're fucking the shit out of me." He

pounded and pounded until they both came

five times and collapsed into each other's

arms. Tess was lying on Bless' chest. "I love

you, baby."

"I love you too, Mami." He laid there

watching her sleep, but couldn't help the

feeling that something was wrong. 'What is

she not telling me?' He thought as he closed

his eyes and fell asleep.

The Funeral 

## Chapter 22

The day of Ebony's funeral it seemed

like everyone was there from drug dealers from

all over to business people. The funeral home

was in Queens on Grant Avenue, the border

line between Queens and Brooklyn. Cars were

parked and double- parked ten blocks down.

Vanessa, Iris, and Tess were dressed in black

Versace dresses. Vanessa and Iris came back

from Philly the night of Ebony and Omar's

murders and closed down the spot up there.

This was more important than money.

"I'm sorry for your lost," an older woman

named Ms. Brown said to Vanessa. She knew

Ebony, Vanessa, Tess and Iris since they were

kids coming to her store to buy candy and now

Vanessa owned a house next to hers in

Queens.

"Thank you, Ms. Brown for your

support," Vanessa said.

"Child please, I love you girls and

nothing could've kept me from coming here

today, not even my bad leg." Ms. Brown and

Vanessa talked some more before Ms. Brown

hugged her and went off to talk to someone

else.

At the grave site, Tess was standing

next to Bless, Vanessa and Iris as they

watched the grave being covered. "I'll leave

you alone. I know you need time with your

girls," Bless said as he walked away. "I'll be

waiting in the car for you when you're done."

"Vanessa, are you okay," Tess asked.

Vanessa didn't speak she just kept staring at

her sister's grave.

Iris walked up to Vanessa and hugged

her. "I love you Vanessa and we all loved

Ebony. We will get who did this to her," Iris

said as the tears fell down her face.

Then Tess moved over and hugged

them both and said, "Yeah we'll get them."

Out of nowhere Vanessa yelled, "You're

lying, Tess! This is the longest you ever took

to handle business. You've been under Bless'

ass and forgot about us!"

"What the fuck you talking about

Vanessa," Tess said with an attitude.

"Why haven't you found who killed my

sister?" Vanessa asked.

"I'm looking and I will find who's behind

this," Tess stated.

"Before Bless came home we would've

killed everything moving to find out who was

behind this. I bet you didn't even let him know

about the contract killings we did. Why?

Because you don't want him to see that side of

you, now you're on some falling back shit!"

Tess slapped the taste out of Vanessa's

mouth. "Listen and listen good. What I do with

my man is my fucking business and that goes

for what I tell him. Watch your fucking mouth

before I fuck you up. I'm the fucking boss

around here and don't ever get it twisted. The

only reason you're not knocked the fuck out

over your mouth is because today is Ebony's

funeral and I know you're hurting. That's why

you're coming out, but don't let it happen

again."

"Whatever," Vanessa said holding her

face and walking away with Iris following

behind her leaving Tess standing alone. Tess

knew in her heart that Vanessa was right about

her taking too long to find Ebony's killer. She

had killed people faster for killing one of her

workers, but it was hard to find who was

behind this and she would work on it until she

got revenge.

The Drop 

## Chapter 23

Later on that night, Jose was at his club

in the Bronx upstairs in his office getting his

dick sucked by his wife, Marilyn. "You like that

Papi," she moaned while licking the tip of his

dick and then taking all of it in her mouth.

"Yes keep going!" Jose said.

"Mmm, yes Papi." Jose's phone rang.

He picked it up, "Hola, who is this?"

"It's Cash, you got my money?" The

voice asked.

"Yeah I got it," Jose replied.

"I want you to drop it off at a warehouse

in Brooklyn on Flatlands at midnight. You can't

miss it. It will be the first warehouse on the

right building 333. Come alone and I'll call you

with the information you want when I have the

money and I'm safely away. Remember

midnight, no later!"

"Si, I mean yes, I'll be there." Jose hung

up the phone. Marilyn was still working her

sweet neck game on him until he came. "Yo

Marilyn, I have to leave. I have some business

to take care of I'll see you at the house."

"Okay Papi, I love you."

"Yeah yeah, I love you too." Jose

replied. Marilyn got up from her knees and

walked out of his office. Jose watched her

sexy ass shake as she walked away. Jose

picked up the phone and called his cousin

Carlos. Carlos was Jose's younger cousin. He

worked for him. They had been very close

since they were kids. Jose pretty much raised

him. Carlos picked up his iPhone on the first

ring. He saw Jose's name on the caller ID.

"It's going down tonight, be ready," Jose

ordered.

"I'm always ready," Carlos replied.

"If whoever this Cash person is thinks

I'm going to let them walk away with my money

and their life, they're crazy. I'm going to kill

everyone and anyone that had something to do

with my brother's murder. No one fucks with

my family," Jose yelled into the phone.

"You know I feel the same way. So

what time you want me ready with the men?"

"Ten o'clock pm, meet me on 183

Avenue." Jose ordered.

"No problem," Carlos said and hung up.

Jose pulled up to the warehouse in his

blue Ford Expedition. It was easy for Cash to

spot his fat frame all those years living good

had fattened Jose's body up to two hundred

and fifty pounds at age thirty seven. As soon

as he got out of his truck, his cell phone rang.

"Who," Jose said out of breath.

"You know who this is!" the voice said.

"Yes," Jose replied.

"Good, I see you're alone. Walk to the

warehouse now." Jose did what he was told.

"Go inside," Cash ordered. "I want you to open

the suitcase." Jose opened the suitcase slowly

so where ever Cash was at looking at him he

wouldn't think he had a gun. Once the

suitcase cover was up you could clearly see

the eight million. "Okay leave!" The voice

yelled over the phone and I'll call you back with

the information you want when I'm safe with

the money.

"Okay, okay," Jose answered knowing

damn well he would not let this person get

away safely with his money or the information

about his brother. Jose went outside and

jumped back in his car when his phone rang.

"Yeah," he answered.

"It was Tess and Bless who murdered

your brother." The voice said.

"What?" Jose yelled. "What?" and he

hung up the phone and pulled off.

Outside of the warehouse, Carlos and

his men surrounded the building. Earlier that

day he and Jose had hidden a tracking device

in one of the bundles of money. He looked at

the monitor and watched the screen with the

red beeping dot. It showed that the money

was still in the warehouse and then it just

disappeared. Carlos didn't buy that signal and

no one had made it past them to get out of the

building.

"Move, move, move," he yelled into the

small microphone in his ear giving his men the

order to rush into the building. Six gunmen ran

into the building with Carlos right behind them

with the monitor in his left hand a Glock 10

millimeter in his right. "Shit, shit, where the fuck

could he had went," Carlos yelled. Carlos went

over to the last spot where he had seen the

money on the monitor and looked around. He

found nothing. Then he looked down on the

floor and saw a manhole, his brain started to

work overtime, and he realized the only place

the

tracing

device

wouldn't

work

was

underground in a tunnel. "He's in the sewer.

Go down there and get him," Carlos ordered.

"Yes Boss," one of the gunmen opened

up the manhole and five of them jumped in.

Carlos thought to himself, 'I'm not jumping

down there all those rats, human waste, and

sewage. Get the fuck of here.' "Damn, it's

dark down here," one of the gunmen said, "and

it stinks," said another one. "I can't see my own

hand in front of my face."

"Ssshhh, shut up before you get us

killed. Shit this smell is going to kill my ass

first."

"Hey, what's that green dot on your

chest?" BRRRRRR BRRR, shots rang out in

the tunnel. Cash thought they would try to

follow him so he waited in the dark with an AK

47. The five gunmen never saw it coming.

Bullets from the AK 47 ripped through the first

gunman's chest dropping him where he stood.

The green dot from the AK 47 moved to the

next gunman's head and sent bullets ripping

through the flesh and bones of his face killing

him. The last three tried to shoot all crazy in

the dark tunnel in hopes of hitting something,

but couldn't see where to aim. The AK 47's

rapid fire hit all three men ripping their bodies

apart.

Cash smiled to himself and started to

run with the suitcase full of money in one hand

and the AK in the other hand. Then he

stopped and left a little surprise for anyone else

who wanted to try and follow him.

Carlos and his last gunman could hear

all the gunfire down in the tunnel. "You go

down there and tell me what's happening,"

Carlos ordered his henchman. "Don't come

back without the money." The gunman didn't

move. He heard the screams of the other men

in the tunnel and it didn't sound good. He

knew in his heart every last one of them was

dead. "Yo, what's fucking taking you so long,"

Carlos yelled as he watched his henchman

hesitate.

"Boss, I don't want to go down there."

The gunman said.

"What?" Carlos raised his Glock 10 mm

to the henchman's head. "If you don't get your

punk ass down there now, I'm going to blow

your motherfucking brains out."

"Yeah, yeah, boss I'm going, I'm going."

The gunman went to the manhole and into the

tunnel and started walking. He could hear

moans as he kept walking. The moaning got

louder as he got closer. When he finally

reached where the moaning was coming from,

he looked down and couldn't believe his eyes.

All five gunmen were dead on the ground and

ripped apart, but what really had him

devastated was one of the gunmen was still

alive, but badly shot up.

"Oh my God rats," he yelled. The rats

were eating the bodies of the men. There were

about thirty rats on each body and the guy that

was on the floor still alive was crying in pain as

they ate away at him. "AAHHH," the gunman

screamed as he watched then his eyes met

with the man on the floor. "Help, help me," he

said in a weak voice. "Stop them, stop them,

AAHHH!"

"I don't know what to do," the henchman

yelled. Then he looked at the man in pain and

all the rats covering his body. Some were

inside of his body eating his insides. The

henchman aimed his chrome 9 mm at the

man's head and squeezed the trigger. Flames

sparked from his gun as he killed the man on

the floor. "It was the only way I could help," he

said out loud to no one but himself. He wanted

to turn back around, but knew Carlos would put

a bullet in him if he didn't try to come back with

that money. So he kept on walking down the

tunnel praying he wouldn't become rat meat

like the others. That was his last thought as he

passed a device that set off a bomb. The

bomb exploded and blew him to pieces.

Carlos felt the whole warehouse shake.

"Damn, I know someone heard that shit,"

Carlos said to himself as he began to run to his

car to get the hell away before the cops

showed up. As he drove away, he hoped Cash

hadn't found the tracing device if not he still

had a chance to get him.

Nothing Could Stop Our Love 

## Chapter 24

Bless and Tess spent the day in Harlem

to get away from all the stress in Brooklyn.

They shopped on 125th Street and stopped at

almost every store. Bless wanted to do

whatever he could to ease his woman's pain.

She told him about the argument she had with

Vanessa. So they got away from the hood and

spent the day shopping and making love in

their townhouse in Harlem on 119th and Lenox.

After a day of shopping, they put their bags

down at the door. "Baby, I'm going to take a

shower," Tess said.

"You do that Mami," Bless replied.

"What you trying to say? My shit always

smells good and I always have your face in it to

prove it." They both busted out laughing.

"Boo, I wasn't trying to say anything," he

said with a devilish smile. She walked away to

the bathroom. They had a bathroom in the

master bedroom. While she walked, Bless

watched her walk away and couldn't keep his

eyes off her ass. Her walk was truly one of a

kind. "Yo, while you in the shower. I'll start

dinner Mami."

"Oh really," Tess yelled from the

bathroom.

"Girl, you know damn well I taught your

ass how to cook. We already know who the

chef in this family is." He could hear laughing

the sound of it put a smile on his face and in

his heart.

'I needed this', Tess thought to herself

as the hot water ran down her body relaxing

her. Vanessa's words kept repeating in her

head. "If Bless wasn't home, you would've

shot everything up until we found the killer

behind my sister's death." She was right, Tess

thought, but she wanted out of the game. My

man is home and we can finally start a family

and I don't want to lose him again. I can't and I

won't, that was the only thought running

through her mind. She pushed them out and

tried to relax.

"Yo baby, you been in there almost an

hour," Bless yelled.

"I'm coming out now!" as Tess lost track

of time. When she left the bathroom, there

was a Louis Vuitton dress on the king size bed

with shoes to match on the floor. "Baby, what's

this for?" she asked.

"Just put it on." Bless said.

Tess sat on the bed and oiled her body

from head to toe. "I wonder what this man is up

to now."

"Don't put on any panties," Bless yelled

over the music he was playing from the dining

room.

Once dressed, Tess entered the dining

room and was surprised at what she saw. The

dining table was set up with Chicken Fettuccini

Alfredo supper. Bless came over to her and

put his arms around her waist. She moaned

loving the feeling of his strong arms around her

body. Music was playing. "Dance with me

Tess," he said looking into her eyes. "Do you

remember this song?" It was Marvin Gaye's

'Let's Get It On'. "It was the song playing the

first time we made love."

"I know baby," she said. They danced

for a few minutes, but it seemed like forever.

"Come let's sit and eat before the food

gets cold."

"Damn daddy, you went all out!"

"For you girl, I always will," he said

meaning every word of it.

"So what is all of this for," Tess asked.

"It's because I love you. Baby, I'm tired

of the drug game and the way our life is. We

always have to watch our backs. Shit! We

don't even sleep in the same house longer

than two weeks."

"I know Bless that's why we're getting

out."

"But Mami, I want more than just getting

out!" Bless pulled a small box out of his pants

and got down on his knees. He opened the

box and inside was a yellow diamond

engagement ring with diamonds encrusted into

the band. "Tess, I love you and knew you were

the one for me from the first time we met.

Tess, will you be my wife?"

Tess's eyes filled with tears. "Yes baby,

yes!" Bless put the ring on her finger then

stood up and began to kiss her as his hands

roamed her voluptuous body making his dick

hard. Tess pushed him into a chair while her

lips were still clamped on to his. She pulled

down his pants and she untied her dress from

the back. Bless watched as it dropped to the

floor showing off her beautiful breasts with their

dark nipples that were begging to be sucked.

Bless did just that. "Oooh daddy, suck them,

mmm yes." Bless was sucking away placing

both nipples in his mouth at the same time.

Tess placed her thick legs on him and

she put one hand on his shoulder while using

the other to guide his straining hard on into her

soaking wet pussy and lowered herself down.

"Mmm," she moaned. Her moist lips slid easily

apart as she squatted down lower filling her

pussy up. It felt better than anything in this

world. "Daddy, I love your dick," she moaned

as she kissed him. Bless grabbed her waist

and pulled her all the way down to achieve

maximum penetration. "I love you," he moaned.

"This is my pussy."

"Yes baby, yes," Tess said while

grinding around on his dick. Her pussy

muscles tightened around him.

"Damn Mami," Bless moaned as she

wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Is it too slow, baby?" Tess asked.

"No," Bless replied as he licked lightly

on her nipples while his dick throbbed and

pump in and out of her pussy.

"Yes, yes, daddy, yes," she cried out as

Bless sucked her nipples while giving her

sweet strokes. It was driving her crazy. The

sweet feeling of his dick inside her mixed with

his sweet lips she couldn't take it anymore and

began to wildly ride the shit out of his dick even

more energetically, really bumping up and

down on his ten inches of dick. Her ass

smacked his balls and thighs. "Fuck, fuck me!"

Bless spread her ass cheeks and pumped wild

and hard.

"Yes daddy, ooohh ahh!" With both of

her thighs locked in his strong arms, he stood

up holding her while still pumping and grinding

into her. "Oh shit, oh shit, Daddy." Tess was

now bouncing up and down on his dick while

he was holding her in the air.

"This is my pussy only I can do this to

you."

"Yes, your pussy daddy!"

"Say you love this big black dick."

"I love my black dick! I love this big

black dick! YES," she moaned as her juices

flowed out of her pussy onto his dick and

thighs. "I feel you in my stomach."

"OH SHIT!" In one of his mighty humps

he came all inside her and kept going until she

came all over him. This lasted for two hours

and then they fell to the dining room floor

kissing and holding each other.

"I guess we're going to have to heat up

that food," Bless said and they both laughed. "I

love you baby."

"I love you too, daddy. You've been

hitting me with that paralyzing dick boo. I can't

even move right now."

"Shit me either." When they were

together all their problems seemed so far

away, not knowing they were closer than they

knew.

Million Dollars a Head 

## Chapter 25

Jose, Ricardo and Carlos sat in a Bronx

apartment building that Jose owned at 179th

Street and Grand Concourse. Jose owned

almost everything around there and had crack

spots and dope spots on the block. "Are you

sure it was Tess and her team that did the hit?"

Ricardo asked.

"That's what the fuck I told you," Jose

yelled in Spanish not knowing why his brother

was questioning him in the first place. "I sent a

team out to get them. I put a hit on Tess's

team, a million dollars a head, dead or alive,"

Jose said.

"Jose, you're just going to listen to

someone you don't even know? I've been

doing business with Tess for a while. You

don't even know who this Cash person is. Shit

Papi, you don't even know what he look like,"

Ricardo responded.

Carlos talked to Jose, "How can we

believe someone that killed six of your men

and blew up half of a fucking block?"

"You do have a point," Ricardo stated.

"Fuck that, I don't care. Anybody I think

had something to do with my brother's murder

is dead. I don't care if I kill the wrong person

sooner or later, I'll get the right one," Jose

yelled.

Ricardo thought to himself, 'That's what

I'm worried about if Jose finds out about my

treachery. It will be even harder to kill him and

take over the business, even worse I'd be

dead.'

"Yo Ricardo, you've been acting real

funny lately. I know Tess did some hits for you

and did some good business with us, but we

don't need her business. Fuck that, blood

comes first," Jose yelled.

"I know I'm with you," Ricardo said in

Spanish.

"Yo Carlos, when was the last time you

looked at that monitor to see if the tracking

device was working," Jose replied.

"Maybe he found it," Carlos responded.

"I looked this morning again, but still nothing.

It's been a week, but I'll look right now." Carlos

walked to a room and took the monitor out of a

desk. He looked at the screen and had to look

again to make sure his eyes weren't fooling

him. "It got a signal," he yelled running back to

where Jose and Ricardo were.

"Where is it at?" Jose asked.

"Looks like Queens," Carlos replied.

"So, what you waiting for? Get on it

before you lose the signal again," Jose

responded.

"I'm on it cousin," Carlos said as he ran

for the door.

"Good, real good. I'll finally find out who

this Cash person is," Jose said out loud.

Ricardo thought to himself, 'I have to

end this and fast, but I can't do it here.'

Tess and Bless were leaving their

townhouse in Harlem. They spent a week

making love and fucking and just enjoying one

another. "Hold up daddy, I forgot something in

the house." Tess ran back inside the house

and came out with her hands behind her back.

"Close your eyes," she ordered.

"For what?" Bless asked.

"Just do it!" Tess demanded.

"Only for you." Bless closed his eyes.

He felt the weight of something around his

neck. He opened his eyes to find a platinum

chain.

"Surprise," Tess yelled. "I got it for you

last week when we were shopping. I had

ordered it, but just now got around to picking it

up." Bless looked down at the chain, the

medallion was diamond bezel and in blue

diamond's it read 'Bless'. "You like it?" Tess

asked.

"I love it girl." He hugged her wrapping

his strong arms around her waist and

squeezing her while they kissed. "Damn girl, it

feels like your ass is getting bigger."

Tess smiled at him. "Come on sexy, we

got to get back to Brooklyn to find out what the

fuck is going on with all this drama that keeps

going down."

"I'm driving," Bless said as they jumped

in the red Chrysler 300c with twenty inch rims.

"This car is nice, daddy."

"Yeah, I got it yesterday when you were

sleeping. It's not better than the car you got

me, but it will do. Plus, the windows are

bulletproof."

"Why only the windows and not the

whole car?" Tess asked.

"Because I have to wait a month for an

all bulletproof car, they had to order it and I'll

pick it up next month when the car is ready.

So, I took this one for now," he replied with a

sexy smile on his face.

"What?" Tess said seeing him smile at

her.

"It's just that you look so fucking good,"

he said while rubbing her thighs through her

jeans.

"You crazy boy," she said feeling her

pussy get wet.

"Yeah for you!" Bless pulled off and

Tess sat back in the passenger seat enjoying

the ride listening to Mario "Let Me Love You"

as Bless drove onto the FDR drive.

At 116th Street, Bless noticed two black

H2 Hummers following them. "Yo baby, I need

you to switch places with me and you drive,"

Bless said.

"Nigga, are you crazy we haven't done

that shit in years and you wanting me to do it

while the car is still moving."

"We don't have time to pull over, boo.

So, when I slow the car down you climb over

me really fast and take the steering wheel."

Tess looked Bless in the eyes and knew

something was wrong.

"Baby what's wrong?" Tess asked.

"I'll tell you when we switch and please

make it fast." Bless slowed down the car

without coming to a full stop. "Now!"

Tess quickly moved and got into the

driver's seat and started driving while Bless

jumped in the passenger seat. Bless climbed

into the backseat of the car and he pushed a

button that opened up the floor behind the

passenger seat. "Damn boy, you have stash

boxes everywhere."

He smiled his devilish smile making

Tess' pussy wet. He pulled out an Uzi

machine gun with three clips. "Tess, you see

these two hummers coming up on us fast.

They have been following us. Don't let them

get side to side with us. I have a bad feeling."

'Shit,' Tess said to herself; she was too

busy feeling good and relaxed to really notice it

until now. Bless and Tess watched as one of

the Hummer's got right behind them as if it was

about to run them off the road and by the looks

of its size it easily could.

"Boo, you got your gun on you?" Bless

asked.

"Always," Tess replied. Just then a

Spanish man hung out the passenger window

of the hummer with a M16 rifle and burst of

automatic fire hit the Chrysler.

"Oh shit, drive, drive baby." The bullets

hit the car windows and the back of the car.

Bless opened the sunroof. "Yo, yo Mami. It

won't take long for them to realize the whole

car is not bulletproof."

Once Bless was out of the sunroof he

took his opportunity. He sprayed the black

hummer with bullets left and right. The bullets

went through the hummer's front window hitting

the passenger in the head, neck, and chest.

The driver of the hummer tried to put his gun

out of the window and aim at Bless, but was

too late. Bless pulled the trigger sending rapid

fire at the driver hitting him in the face. The

driver slumped over dead on the steering

wheel. The big truck began to swerve back

and forth then crashed into oncoming cars.

The second hummer somehow was side

by side with the Chrysler. The driver of the

hummer rammed the side of the Chrysler

making it jerk and swerve. Bless pulled the

trigger of the Uzi and nothing happened. He

could see the driver smiling at him as he raised

his gun and fired. Bless ducked as fast as he

could back into the car. The shot just missed

his head by an inch. "Baby, you okay?" Tess

asked while driving in and out of traffic.

"Yeah, that motherfucker tried to take off

my head."

"What happened up there?"

"The fucking gun jammed on me. It'll

take a minute, but I think I can fix it."

"Nigga, we ain't got a minute." Tess said

looking in the rearview mirror as she saw they

got some distance away from the truck. To her

surprise the big Hummer was moving over cars

crashing right into them.

"Shit baby, I can't fix it. Give me your

gun."

"Nigga, what the fuck my gun is going to

do to that damn truck of those fools firing

machine guns," Tess yelled.

"I have a plan if it works we'll be okay

and if it don't you know the answer to that."

Tess handed Bless her 40 cal handgun.

He went back in the stash box in the backseat

and pulled something small out. Tess tried to

see what it was, but she couldn't because she

was too busy moving in and out of traffic.

"Listen baby, I need you to slow down and let

them get on the side of us."

"What are you crazy?" Tess yelled.

"Tess, we can't out run them in this

traffic and it won't be long before the cops

show up. Shit the only reason they didn't show

up now is because when the first fucking

hummer crashed, it blocked the whole road."

She knew he was right. "Baby, if they

shoot at the doors we're dead anyways. Tess,

slow down the car." Bless said.

The Hummer hit the back of the car with

full speed. The Chrysler swerved, but Tess got

the car back under control.

The driver of the hummer saw that the

car was now moving slow. The car must be

fucked up from him hitting it. He looked at his

partner, "Yo, when we pull up next to them aim

at the doors. That should do it." The

passenger of the Hummer started to climb

through the sunroof thinking Bless would do

the same. He would kill him there and then

and shoot out the doors.

To his surprise he was wrong, Bless

rolled down the back passenger window. The

Chrysler and Hummer were side by side.

Bless opened up fire flames flew from the 40

cal. A bullet hit the gunman hanging out the

sunroof in the chest causing him to fall back

down into the Hummer.

"Oh shit, I'm hit," the man kept shouting

to his partner. The driver of the Hummer just

looked at his partner. He could care less for

him. There was a million dollars a head to

make on this. "Yo, we have to finish this job,"

he said. "Fuck the job. I'm dying in two

minutes!"

While the gunmen were arguing, they

never noticed Bless taking the small object in

his hand pulling the pin and throwing it in the

sunroof of the hummer. "Tess, pull off!" Bless

yelled.

The black object fell on the Hummer's

floor between the driver's feet. "What the fuck

was that? Oh shit!" He yelled while looking

down and what he saw sent him in shock. "Oh

shit, oh shit!" He tried to bend down to grab it

and drive at the same time, but the truck kept

swerving and he couldn't grab it.

"Yo, what the fuck was that?" his partner

asked.

"It's a grena..." He never got to finish

the sentence. The hummer blew up into

pieces right there on the FDR drive. Both men

were decapitated and incinerated.

"Bless, we have to dump this car." Tess

said.

"I know, but where," Bless replied. "We

can't cross the Brooklyn Bridge in this with all

the bullet holes. I know someone is going to

say they saw this car in the shoot out back

there."

"Yo, we're close to Chinatown," Tess

replied.

"And?" Bless looked at her crazy, "like

what's your plan?"

"Just watch," Tess said as she jumped

on the exit and headed to Chinatown as fast as

she could.

Coming Clean 

## Chapter 26

Tess drove into Chinatown. She was

now in lower Manhattan what they call lower

eastside. She made a left then turned into an

auto body shop and drove the car into the

garage. A brown- skinned Guyanese man was

working on a car when he looked up and saw

Tess. He couldn't believe his eyes. Tess

yelled out, "Hi Uncle Thomas."

"Hey baby," Uncle Thomas replied while

coming over to give her a hug when Tess

stopped him.

"Listen," Tess said. "I don't have time to

talk. I need you to hide this car for me and

fast."

Bless got out of the passenger seat, "Hi

Uncle Thomas."

"What's up, Bless?"

"Nothing Uncle, but we don't have time

for the small talk." Thomas took one look at

the Chrysler and knew what time it was by all

the bullet holes in the car. Thomas was an

older man at fifty years old. He was still young

at heart. Tess and Bless gave him the start up

money he needed for his car's body shop. So,

he would do anything for them and plus he

loved his niece. She was the only family he

had. He raised Tess because her mother and

father got killed over a bad drug deal in

Guyana. So, in return he took care of his

sister's child. The body chop was empty that

day. It was just him and his business partner,

Young.

"Young close the gates please," Thomas

yelled. Young pressed a button that lowered

the gates. "Listen, I'm going to take the car

apart. You two get out of here," Thomas

replied. Young threw a set of keys at Bless.

Bless looked at the keys then the cars.

"Yo, what car do we go to?" There were

five cars in the garage, a Lexus ES, Lincoln

LS, Buick, Chevy Impala, and a Dodge

Magnum besides the shot up Chrysler.

"It's the Impala and all the papers are

inside the car. The car is in my name."

"Good looking," Bless replied.

"Yo, I got something for you two," Young

said. "Follow me to the back."

Tess looked up at her uncle. "Well don't

look at me, girl. I don't know what he's talking

about." All three of them followed Young to a

room at the back of the shop. Once they were

all inside, Young went to a box and pulled out

two bulletproof vests, one big and one small.

"Shit Young, you were thinking of us,"

Tess said.

"Always," Young replied. "I was going to

call you, but you just popped up."

Young was Chinese in his thirties and

had been friends with Thomas for a while. He

talked Thomas into opening the body shop in

the lower eastside right next to Chinatown

where he could bring him a lot of business

through of all his family and friends. So they

became business partners, but young also was

in the Chinese Mafia and so was all his family

and they sold a lot of things on the Black

Market. It allowed him to get his hands on

things most people couldn't like these new

vests. "They are stronger than the old

bulletproof vests and lighter."

"Yo, good looking out Young," Bless

said.

"Wait I'm not done. I got something else

for you." Young dug into the box until he pulled

out the most beautiful machine gun Bless and

Tess had ever seen. "Yo, this here is an AR15

machine gun it holds two hundred rounds and

its light as fuck and comes with the black

infrared light. Motherfuckers won't even see

the dot on them. Only the person with the gun

in his hand can see it," Young stated.

"Shit," Bless said. Young passed the

gun to Bless and he liked the weight of it. 'This

shit is beautiful,' he thought to himself.

"And I'm not done," Young said. "I got

four boxes of Black Talon's bullets to go with

that."

"Damn," Tess said knowing black

Talon's

bullets

went

through

any

and

everything. "Shit you get an FBI case if they

even heard you had some of those bullets."

Young saw Tess' face. "Yo, don't worry

Tess. There's no way they can be traced back

to us."

"Please, I know you on point," Tess

replied. "I was wondering where the fuck is

mine."

With a smile on his face young pulled

out another machine gun and handed it to

Tess.

"You kids and your toys," Uncle Thomas

said sarcastically.

"Yo Young, I need you to pick

something up. I need 15 Mac 11 machine

guns," Bless stated.

"I can get you ten," Young replied. "Is

that cool?"

"Yeah, that would do for now." Bless

knew shit was about to hit the fan and wanted

to be ready. Their lives were in danger, but by

whom?

"Yo, there is a stash box in the Impala.

You guys know where it's at," Young replied.

"Bye Young," Bless said.

"Bye Uncle Thomas," Tess said and

kissed him on the cheek.

"Stay out of trouble please," Thomas

said with concern, but he knew she'd do what

she wanted to do. She always had. "I'll have

the Chrysler broken down by tonight. Young

and I will work on it. There'll be no evidence of

it," he said seriously.

Tess and Bless got in the black Impala

and headed for their house in Brooklyn. "Shit

the FDR is blocked off with cops everywhere."

So, they drove to the 59th Street Bridge to go

through Queens to get to Brooklyn.

"Yo Tess, I'm tired of playing games

with you," Bless yelled. "Tell me what the fuck

is going on!"

"What you mean," Tess said.

"Listen, ever since I came home people

been trying to kill us and our team. You're not

telling me something. I've known this for a

while now, but I told myself you'll tell me when

you were ready, but fuck that. You have to

come clean with me."

Tess closed her eyes and sat back in

the passenger seat as they made their way to

the bridge. She knew it was time to come

clean. She really didn't know how she kept it

from him this long. They had always kept it

real with each other in their relationship, but

she knew it would make him angry and there

was no telling what that nigga would do when

he was mad, she thought. "Listen baby, I don't

know how to tell you this," Tess said.

"Just spit it the fuck out already," Bless

replied.

Tess took a deep breath. "Just let me

finish before you flip out on me. While you

were locked up, I did some jobs for Ricardo."

"What kind of jobs?" Bless asked.

"I did some contract killings for him."

Tess answered.

"You what? What the fuck you mean

you did some contract killings for him? While I

was in jail, you was out here wilding the fuck

out. What if something would've happened to

you? Then what would I do? Did you ever

take the time to think about that?"

Tess knew he was right because she

felt the same way about him. If anything was

to happen to Bless, she'd lose her mind.

"Baby, I did it for the money. So, we could get

out the game sooner like we always talked

about."

"But Tess we were making more than

enough money doing what we do," Bless

stated.

"But you knew it wasn't enough to get

out, boo." Bless knew she was right about that

one. They needed enough money to never look

back.

"So, how much you made?"

"I have seven million in a Swiss Bank

Account," she replied.

"Damn girl, why you didn't tell me

sooner with the two million in drug money and

three million in the real estate company, we

could've been out."

"I was scared to tell you."

"So, how many contracts you did to get

that money?"

"Eight and they were all drug lords or

dealers and I have more money stashed from

times me and the girls robbed some and killed

some of them."

"I should've known you didn't do it

alone. So, all of you were doing killings and no

one was going to tell me shit." Bless was

getting mad at the fact that they all had hidden

this from him.

"The girls didn't know who we worked

for, only Iris does. And Bless one of the

contracts was on Ricardo's brother, Hector."

"Yo, you killed your connects brother.

What the fuck? Does he know?"

"I told you we were working for him. He

ordered the kill."

"So, dude killed his own brother for

what? That's some grimy shit and does Jose

know?" Bless asked.

"He did it to take over the family

business and Jose doesn't know. He was

supposed to be next on my list, but I told

Ricardo I was done with that shit. We have

enough money put away and I don't want to

live that life anymore."

"I understand Tess, but you done hurt

so many people we have no way of finding out

who our enemies are. But we have to break it

down and find out before they get to us!"

"So, you're not mad at me," Tess

replied.

"Oh yeah, I'm mad at your ass, but we

have bigger problems to worry about." Bless

looked at her and felt she was still keeping

something from him, but it wasn't as big as

what she just told him. 'I'll get it out of her

later,' he told himself.

Traffic was backed up in Long Island

City, Queens. Tess started to think about

Ebony and who had her killed and she

wondered how Vanessa was holding up. "Yo

baby, when we get on the Van Wyck Highway

can we stop by Vanessa's house," Tess asked.

"Yeah boo, but it's going to take time

with all this traffic." Bless knew how much Tess

loved her girlfriend and knew Ebony's death

was killing his woman. The fact that she didn't

find out who was behind killing her friend was

breaking her heart and pulling Vanessa and

Tess apart and when Tess hurt, he hurts.

Tracing the Loot 

## Chapter 27

Vanessa was in the kitchen of her

Jamaica, Queen's house with her brown red

nose pit Chew Chew. She named him Chew

Chew because he would always be chewing on

something. Vanessa was crying while she was

cooking pork chops for her and Chew Chew. "I

guess it's me and you now boy." Chew Chew

was sitting at her feet and could sense her

pain. So, he licked her toes making her laugh.

"Stop Chew Chew," she said in between

laughing then she bent down and hugged her

dog. "I love you too, Chew Chew."

Sitting across the street watching

Vanessa with binoculars were Carlos and five

of his henchmen in a black Chevy Avalanche.

Carlos looked at the monitor of the tracing

device once more making sure he had the

address right and making sure the money was

inside the house.

"Yo, we been watching the house all day

when are we going to fucking move in on her,"

one of the gunmen said from the back seat.

Carlos turned around and smacked him

in the face in one quick move. "We move

when I say we fucking move. Don't you dare

question me!"

Carlos was thinking if this person in the

house was the same person that called

themself Cash. She could be a deadly person.

A woman is like a teabag you never know how

strong they are until their in hot water. Carlos

looked through the binoculars again at the

house and then the woman. Carlos thought

she was beautiful and had a voluptuous body.

She had on booty shorts and a tank top. 'What

a shame,' he thought. His cell phone rang,

"Who?"

"It's me did you find my money?"

"Yeah and guess what?"

"What?" Jose yelled.

"It's someone that's a part of Tess' team

that snitched on her."

"Yeah bring Cash to me and my

money."

"Say no more, I'll handle it." Carlos and

his five gunmen jumped out of the black Chevy

Avalanche. "I want her alive."

"Okay Boss," one of the gunmen replied.

It was 10pm and the night sky helped

cover them as they surrounded the house.

Carlos climbed to the second floor window and

gave the others the order to rush the house.

The front gunman kicked in the front door to

only be met by a hollow point bullet ripping

through his left eye.

While the five gunmen were surrounding

the house Vanessa looked down at her dog,

Chew Chew and saw the way he was growling

and knew something was wrong. She trained

Chew Chew herself. Chew Chew didn't bark.

He bites and growls. It was his way of warning

her before he attacked. Vanessa knew she

had no time to go upstairs and grab her Tech-

9 mm automatic, just the thought of the gun

made her want to cry. It was her and Ebony's

favorite gun. She only had time to grab the

9mm Luger handgun from the stash in the

living room before the first gunman busted

through the door. Vanessa squeezed the

trigger and watched the hollow points rip

through the gunman's face. The gunman

slumped over before he hit the floor.

Vanessa ran down the hall with Chew

Chew behind her trying to make her way to the

back door to escape her house. When she

made it to the door, she opened it just to find a

gunman with a ski mask on standing there.

Vanessa's eyes opened with surprise. The

gunman had his gun to her head and she knew

it was over.

"Damn," she yelled.

As soon as the word escaped her

mouth, Chew Chew jumped up, knocked the

man to the ground, and then locked his teeth

on his neck. Chew Chew shook and ripped

away at the gunman's neck. The gunman tried

to scream, but his screams were drowned out

by his own blood and the pressure from Chew

Chew's jaw. Chew Chew ripped the gunman's

wind pipe out, came up with a big piece out of

his neck, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"Damn boy, I was going to feed you,"

Vanessa said looking at her dog with shock.

A second gunman had reached the

backdoor. He looked down, saw the dog

eating his partner, and began to scream. "Oh

shit, oh shit," he raised his gun and aimed it at

Chew Chew.

He never noticed Vanessa with her gun

raised to his head. "You're not going to shoot

my dog asshole," Vanessa yelled as she fired

the 9mm Luger. The first shot caught him

between the eyes then two quick rapid shots to

his chest that spun him around and he hit the

floor.

Chew Chew saw Carlos coming down

the stairs while Vanessa's back was turned so

he ran and jumped in the air at Carlos. In one

swift move Carlos fired his 44 caliber revolver.

The bullet hit Chew Chew in the chest while he

was still in the air sending the dog flying back

into the wall and he slid down hitting the floor

soaked in blood.

Vanessa saw Chew Chew get hit by the

bullet and went crazy firing shots at Carlos left

and right. "You shot my dog you son of a

bitch," she yelled.

Carlos jumped and dodged moving in

time before Vanessa blew off his head.

Vanessa saw Carlos on the floor ducking

behind a table from the bullets. She had an

aim on him. She squeezed the trigger and

heard a click. She squeezed again and heard

the click sound once more. "Shit," Vanessa

yelled realizing her gun was out of ammo.

Carlos stood up with his gun pointed at

her. "I see you're out of bullets," Carlos said

with a smile. Vanessa put up her hands

because she knew it was over. "All right kill me

already, asshole."

"I'm not going to kill you," Carlos replied.

Vanessa looked in his eyes like he had

lost his mind and then a big hand wrapped

around her neck and another around her

mouth and she smelled something funny. She

tried to fight, but felt weak and her eyes were

heavy, then her world went black.

"Pick her up," Carlos said to his

henchman. "Don't leave yet. I have to find the

money." Carlos pulled out the monitor for the

tracing device. The red dot on the screen

showed the money was downstairs in the

basement.

Carlos went downstairs and followed the

red dot to the back of the basement where

there was a suitcase. Carlos opened the

suitcase and looked inside at the money. "Shit,

it only looks like two million in there. Where's

the other six million?" Carlos thought

something was wrong. "This doesn't feel right!"

Carlos grabbed the suitcase and went back

upstairs. "You take her and put her in the

truck."

The gunman with the big hands threw

Vanessa's body in the backseat and sat next to

her. Carlos jumped in the passenger seat and

told the driver to pull off.

Bless was still mad at Tess for keeping

a secret from him. "You still mad?" Tess

asked.

Bless said nothing. Once they got to

191 on Jamaica Avenue and turned down

Vanessa's block all they could see down the

block was flashing red and blue lights. Cop

cars were all over the block. Tess's heart

skipped a beat. She had a feeling something

was wrong. They pulled up to Vanessa's

house to find cops walking in and out and what

looked to be a man's dead body at the front

door. Bless and Tess got out the car and

approached the house.

"Hold on, where do you think you're

going," a young officer said.

"We're family of the woman who owns

this house," Tess stated.

"Oh really," the officer said. "Hey Dan

come over here," The detective came over. He

was a fat man with rolls under his chin and was

much older than the cop that stopped them.

The young officer began to talk. "These two

here say they're family of the person who owns

this house."

"Well then I have some questions for

you," the fat detective replied. "What's the

owner's name and what did her or he do for a

living?"

"I'm

not

answering

any

fucking

questions until you answer mine," Tess yelled.

The fat detective looked at Tess with a

mean eye. He hated these smart ass niggas

these days if he could take her down to jail she

wouldn't think she was so smart. 'I hate the

fact that they're making money and doing

better than me,' he thought. 'If it was up to me,

I'd put a bullet in all their heads,' but he needed

information for his boss about this case and

couldn't go back empty handed.

"Okay," he said. "There are three men

dead in the house; two from gunshot wounds

and one that looks like the dog in there ate his

neck."

"What? Where is Vanessa," Tess

yelled.

"Who is Vanessa," the detective asked.

"Vanessa Sky is the woman who owns

the house."

Detective Dan took out a writing pad

and began to write what Tess had said down.

"And where does she work?"

"Hold on," Bless said cutting into the

conversation. He was letting Tess handle this,

but there was more they needed to know and

he didn't like the way the fat detective looked at

Tess. "So there was no woman inside the

house," Bless asked.

"No," Dan said with an attitude, "but

there was a dog. The dog has been shot, but

he'll live. We sent him to the Veterinarian."

"I want the dog," Bless said.

"You can get him from the vet once the

investigation is over. Listen, do you have any

more answers for me," Dan asked.

"No," said Tess. Her and Bless walked

to the house next door and Tess knocked on

the door.

An old woman's voice asked who it was.

"It's me, Tess, Ms. Brown." A light skinned old

lady opened the door.

"Oh child, how have you been? I

haven't seen you since Ebony's funeral." Ms.

Brown was Vanessa's next door neighbor.

She had watched Tess, Vanessa and the other

girls grow up. She was the grandmother of the

neighborhood.

"How have you been Ms. Brown?" Tess

asked.

"Child, I'm fine, but those cops keep

coming over here asking me all kinds of

questions. I have nothing to say to them."

"What about me," Tess said with a smile

on her face.

Ms. Brown looked at Tess and then

Bless. "Who is this handsome young man?"

"Oh Ms. Brown, this is the love of my

life. You know him. He just looks different now

that he's home."

"Oh Dear, this is Bless. How are you

doing sugar?"

"I'm fine, Ms. Brown."

"You two kids come in." Once inside

Ms. Brown began to talk. "I want to tell you

what I saw before the police come back over

here. I heard the shots and there were a lot of

them. So, I called the police. See child I won't

talk to them, but I'll sure call them if someone

needs help. After I got off the phone, I came to

my window and saw two men that looked

Latino one was muscular and big. He had

Vanessa on his shoulder and the other was

smaller and had what looked like a suitcase in

his hand. I may be old, but I got some good

eyes."

"Ms. Brown, do you think you know who

the men were?"

"Child they weren't from around here. I

know everybody in this neighborhood, young or

old."

Everybody knew Ms. Brown. She had

lost two grandsons to the streets and still had

one out there selling drugs and everybody

loved and respected her grandsons. They

were ride or die niggas.

"Dear you know no one around here is

foolish enough to mess with your peoples."

Ms. Brown knew what Tess and Vanessa did

for a living. She heard everything that went on

in the streets, but that didn't stop her love for

them; in fact, it made her love them more. She

loved all the young and all old hustlers to her

they were just trying to survive in a cold world.

"But Dear, I do have something for you," Ms.

Brown handed Tess a piece of paper.

"What's this," Tess asked. "It's the

license plate number to the truck I saw them

take Vanessa away in! I told you I got good

eyes," the old lady said with a smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Brown." Tess bent

down and hugged the older woman and Bless

did the same.

"Please, you two take care of each

other, bye sweetie," and with that her door was

closed.

Bless and Tess made their way across

the street to their car with the cops on the block

looking at their every move. Once in the car

Tess took out her cellphone from her purse

and made a call as Bless pulled off the block.

"Hi," a voice said.

"Hi Young, I need you to run a license

plate number for me. I'll hit you off when we

come and pick up those toys from you," Tess

stated.

"Alright it's not a problem. I'll have

everything tomorrow." With all of Young's

family it was easy for him to get the information

they needed.

"Thank you, Young," Tess said as she

hung up.

Bless was in deep thought as he was

driving home. Shit had really gone to hell since

he had been home. All he wanted was to be

out of the game, out of this lifestyle and

married to the woman he loved, but shit had

gone all wrong. It seemed everybody around

him had been lying to him and now there were

people trying to kill him and Tess. This was

driving him crazy. Ebony and Vanessa were

like sisters to him, whoever was behind this

were going to pay and pay with their life.

As if Tess knew what her man was

thinking she began to speak. "They're our

sisters and we will get vengeance on whoever

it is and their family for fucking with our family,"

Tess stated. "Young said he'll have the info we

need tomorrow."

"Good," Bless replied.

Heads up 

## Chapter 28

The next day in a restaurant in

Chinatown Young was having an early lunch

with his cousin Lee. "Listen Young, I got the

information you wanted and those toys you

asked for, but I have to tell you something."

"Go ahead and spit it out," Young

replied.

Lee was a short Chinese man. He was

ordinary looking and from the looks of it no one

could ever tell he was an FBI agent, but he

was as crooked as they come. His hands were

into everything from drugs to guns all to help

his family the Asian Mafia.

"Young, the FBI has been watching

Tess and her crew for a while, but was unable

to get evidence on them to build a case. They

know about the murders Tess and her team

pulled off, but they have no proof. We all know

she was working for Ricardo and we found out

Jose has a warehouse down here that he uses

for drugs. We arrested several airline

employees that work for Jose on charges of an

International drug ring. We got large quantities

of drugs. A hundred pounds of cocaine, more

than fifty pounds of heroin, and seven pounds

of ecstasy, but no one we got is willing to

snitch on him. Jose has been smuggling drug

money to the Dominican Republic for a while

now and we want him."

"Oh, so what does this have to do with

me?" Young asked.

"Listen, shit is about to go down and I

want you to get on a flight to China tonight. I

already have a ticket for you. The FEDs know

Jose got Vanessa. We have a tape of sounds

of her blackmailing Jose. We had Jose's

phone tapped for a while. I'm going to give you

the tape to take with you and so you can listen

to it and tell me what you think, but don't tell

Tess about the tape yet. Young we know a

war is about to begin once Tess finds out that

Jose has Vanessa and she will find out

because that license plate you had me run. I

have the information right here and the truck

belongs to Jose Sosa and when you tell her

this you already know she will react. She'll

come at Jose with everything she has and the

FEDs will be right there to pick up the pieces.

So, I want you to get as far away from this shit

as you can," he stated.

"Lee, you know I go way back with Tess

and her family and you know I'm going to warn

her," Young replied.

"I know that's part of the reason I'm

telling you all of this. Here take the ticket and

the tape." Young took the tape and the ticket

off the table and stood up. Lee did the same.

Lee hugged his cousin. "Leave town tonight,"

Lee said as he walked away.

Hell on Earth 

## Chapter 29

In a warehouse in lower eastside,

Vanessa was bleeding from her wounds. She

was tied to a chair in a lot of pain still not

knowing what was really going on, but she

knew she was being tortured by the big

muscular Spanish man that grabbed her out of

her house. Vanessa learned that his name

was Tito. "Where's the money, bitch," Tito said

as he punched her in the head.

Vanessa screamed as he kept punching

her repeatedly. "I don't know what you're

talking about," Vanessa said with tears and

blood running down her face.

"Oh, you want to play stupid, bitch." Tito

looked at her with lust in his eyes and started

to feel on her breast. "Mmm, you have a nice

body. I bet if I fuck the shit out of you you'll

talk, bitch."

"Fuck you," Vanessa shouted.

"No, I'm going to fuck you." Tito put his

hands on the rope and untied her legs and

waist and left her hands tied. He picked her up

and placed her on the floor. Vanessa was too

weak and beat up to put up a fight against the

giant. He pulled down her shorts and pulled

her thong to the side. He pulled down his pants

and pulled out his dick and as fast as he could

he rammed his dick into her.

"AAHHH," Vanessa yelled. "Please stop

please," she cried while the big man pumped

into her even harder.

"You don't want me to stop, bitch! This

is what your ass need. You want to blackmail

people and you killed my partners in your

house. Take this dick!" He pumped in and out

and as hard as he could. "Take this! Take this

dick!"

All Vanessa could do was cry and pray

she'd get the chance to kill this man.

"Yeah, yeah," Tito moaned. "You love

this right?" He grabbed her throat and started

to hump and pump all crazy until he busted a

nut with one hard pump. Tito collapsed on top

of her body. "You got some sweet pussy,

bitch," he said while leaning close to her face.

Vanessa took the opportunity and locked her

teeth into his face. "AAHHH," Tito yelled and

tried to pull his face free from her locked

mouth, but couldn't. He punched her in the

head as hard as he could and Vanessa pulled

away in pain, but had a piece of his flesh in her

mouth and a smile on her face. "Bitch, I'm

going to kill you and fuck you at the same

time."

Just then Carlos walked in and seen

Tito on top of Vanessa. Carlos walked over

with his gun in his hand and hit Tito in the head

with the butt of his 9mm. Tito fell over in pain

and looked up to see his boss. Carlos hit Tito

again over and over until he opened up a cut

on his head. "I told your ass to watch her and

find out where the money is, not rape her,"

Carlos yelled.

"But boss." Tito pleaded.

"Don't but boss me, you're lucky I don't

put a hole in your ass. Put her clothes back on

and pick her up and put her back in the chair

now!" Carlos ordered.

"Si Boss." Tito pulled up his pants and

did what Carlos said and stood quiet by the

chair.

Carlos pulled out a clean rag and wiped

Vanessa's face. "I'm sorry for what this animal

did to you, please forgive me."

"Yeah right," Vanessa said.

Carlos heart went out to her. He was a

killer, but not a rapist. He wanted so bad to put

a bullet in Tito's head, 'but now wasn't the time,

maybe later,' he told himself.

Jose walked in, followed by Ricardo and

three henchmen. Ricardo came to see if

Vanessa said it was him that gave the order for

the hit. This made him worried, but he knew

Jose wouldn't blame her if she did talk.

Jose put his fat hands on Vanessa's

swollen face. "I see you're not doing too well,"

he said as he laughed. "Now, are you ready to

tell me where the rest of the money is at?"

Vanessa looked up at the fat Dominican

drug lord. She spit out blood and yelled, "For

the last fucking time you fat son of a bitch, I

don't know what you're talking about!"

This just made Jose even angrier. He

turned to Carlos, "Carlos do you think her so

called friends know she snitched?"

"No," Carlos replied. "Maybe we can

use this."

"Yeah," Ricardo said.

"We can make Tess come to us and

then kill her. We damn sure had no luck

sending our people after them," Jose stated.

"We make her come to us and anyone that was

a part of Hector's murder."

Vanessa looked up at Ricardo and their

eyes met, in one swift move he closed in on

her and placed a knife on her neck and

whispered in her ear. "If you say a word, you'll

die sooner than you're supposed to."

"Fuck you," Vanessa said in between

tears. Vanessa had no idea that Ricardo was

behind his own brother's death, but Ricardo

didn't know this. Vanessa thought it was best

to stay quiet and not push her luck.

"Carlos," Jose yelled. "Call some

gunmen and get this place ready and then

make a call to Tess."

Jose and Ricardo walked upstairs to a

back office. Jose sat down on a black couch in

the room and looked at Ricardo. "I don't know

how you let this happen," Jose said.

"Let what happen," Ricardo replied.

"Let your own fucking hit team run wild

and kill our baby brother!"

"What you're trying to say I can't handle

my business," Ricardo said with hate in his

eyes.

"Si," said Jose.

"You know what fuck you," Ricardo

yelled and with that Jose jumped up and

punched his brother in the jaw.

"Now, listen here baby brother. I'm the

boss of this family and these streets and you

don't disrespect me ever and don't let me tell

you again. Now, go help Carlos get ready for

tomorrow before I really get mad."

Ricardo left the office holding his jaw.

Tomorrow will be the last time his brother will

breathe air. "I promise that," he said to no one

in particular. "I'll kill Jose, Tess and Carlos all

at the same time and place killing three birds

with one stone," he said to himself and smiled.

The Meeting 

## Chapter 30

Across town in Brooklyn in Kings Plaza

Mall, Tess, Bless and Iris sat in a back row in

the movie theater in the dark next to Young.

Resident Evil 3 was playing on the screen, but

none of them was paying any attention to the

movie. This meeting was about business. "So,

what are you saying?" Tess replied.

"Just what I said, Tess. Jose has

Vanessa and the truck came back to his name.

It came back to some warehouse in the lower

eastside. My cousin from the FBI put me on.

So, I'm putting you on. You know you're family

to me. You, your Uncle Thomas, Bless and

Iris," Young said with a grin. "But listen the

FEDs is watching you. That's why I ask that

we meet in the movie theater. They know you

will go after Jose and they're waiting for the

war. They're hoping they can charge you with

something because they never had any

evidence on you for the last three years you

have been running the business. If they can't

get you, there hoping Jose will kill you and

Bless off anyway and they pick up the pieces.

Anyway they win."

"Shit," Bless said not almost believing

the FEDs wanted him and Tess dead.

"No one likes to see a rich black person

or black man and woman doing these things

good or bad. They want to keep the blacks

and Latino down in poverty. Alright, I wish the

three of you good luck. Here's the address to

the warehouse and take these keys they go to

a blue Lincoln LS. It's parked between 19th

street and Church Avenue. You three won't

see me for awhile. I'm heading out of town. I'll

keep in touch," with that Young hugged Tess

and Iris and gave Bless a handshake and

walked out the theater.

Bless, Tess and Iris stayed behind in the

theater till the movie ended. Just in case they

were being followed by the FEDs. They

wouldn't know about Young coming to see

them. It just looked like the three of them went

to the movies.

As Young walked through the mall's

underground garage, he had a bad feeling

about it all like the tape. He just came from his

cousins about the person who blackmailed

Jose. The voice sounded like Vanessa, but he

had to listen to it once more there were a lot of

questions unanswered. When he figured them

out he'd let Tess know everything. As he

opened the car door to his black Infiniti G 32,

his instinct told him to turn around and grab his

gun from his waist. He turned around with his

gun in his hand and faced the person that was

behind him.

Once he realized who the person, "Oh

it's you," Young said. As he calmed down,

"You scared the shit out of me," he said with a

smile. Out of nowhere a bullet slammed into

his stomach. "AAHHH," Young yelled. "What

the fuck are you doing?" He tried to raise his

gun. A bullet tore through the flesh of his face

blowing four holes in it. He lay on the ground

next to his car as his blood flowed out on the

ground his body was shaking and jerking

violently. He was still breathing when his killer

stood over him. "Why?" was the last word to

escape his mouth before four shots ripped

through his chest from the silencer of the 3.80

automatic.

His killer then picked up his body and

placed it into Young's car and shut the door

and walked away without a care in the world.

No one saw or heard anything. All was going

as planned as far as the killer was concerned.

Getting Ready for War 

## Chapter 31

Bless, Tess and Iris were having a

meeting in their Brooklyn townhouse in Crown

Heights with their three lieutenants they had

running the drug spots in the streets, Damou,

Layla and Tyler.

"Yo Damou, I want you to go to Church

Avenue on 19th Street and pick up a blue

Lincoln LS inside are the guns I want you to

get some soldiers," Bless stated.

"How many soldiers do you need?"

Damou asked.

"I need thirteen of your best." Bless

demanded.

"I got you," Damou replied. He was

eighteen and coming up in the game fast. He

was dark skin and grimy and had the streets

scared to death of him. He was quick with his

gun and had a gang of young wolves to back

him up. He was sure he'd go to the top of the

game. And ever since Omar's death he'd been

running all of the Brownsville spots and some

of the other spots. Damou looked up to Bless

and wanted to be just like him or even better.

He would put any work in for Bless. He would

kill anyone that Bless asked. He loved Bless

for his own reason.

While Bless was giving Damou the run

down on the plan, Tess's cell phone rang,

"Who's this?"

"Como esta bitch?"

"Who the fuck is this," Tess yelled into

the phone.

"Oh, you know who this is Tess." Tess

went quiet and pressed the button for the

speaker phone so everybody could hear the

call. "Listen carefully bitch, I'm only going to

say this once. You killed my brother and now

I'm going to kill you."

"Fuck

you

Jose,"

Tess

yelled.

Everybody's eyes were on Tess. They didn't

want the caller to know they were there, but

they were all getting madder by the minute.

"No fuck you Tess and your team. I

have your girl Vanessa and if you want her to

stay alive, you meet me when I call you again."

"How I know she's still alive," Tess said.

Just then Jose slapped Vanessa making her

scream and put a gun to her head. "Talk bitch,

your friends want to know I didn't kill your ass

yet!"

"Tess! Tess! Don't come for me!" Jose

hit Vanessa in the jaw with his gun, "Shut the

fuck up, bitch!"

Carlos stood by and watched hating the

fact his cousin was beating on a woman.

"Okay Jose," Tess said. "Stop it. I'll

come. I'll come," she yelled into the phone.

"I want all of you, Bless and Iris too."

"Okay, so where do you want us to meet

you?"

"I'll call you four in the morning and tell

you," and with that Jose hung up the phone.

"Layla, I need you to get your team

ready. Bring about fifteen gunmen."

"I got you," Layla replied. Tess put

Layla into the game. She was eighteen, light

skin, beautiful, and as dangerous as they get.

She grew up in five different foster homes that

made her a fighter. She was raped in every

foster home. This made her heart cold. Tess

found her wandering the streets when she was

sixteen. She had the same clothes on for a

month. She had run away from her last foster

home a month ago in Bushwick after cutting

her foster father's stomach while he tried to

rape her again. Tess saw the girl walking and

took her in, gave her food, clean clothes, and

let her use the bathroom to take a shower and

asked her questions about her life. She was

the first and only person Layla met that cared

about how she felt.

After telling Tess what she did to her

foster father and why, Tess made her jump in

her car and they drove to her foster father's

house. Once there Tess made Layla follow her

to the door. Layla didn't know what was going

on all she knew was she was now feeling bad.

This nice lady who fed her and clothed her was

now making her go back to the place she ran

from.

Tess knocked on the door and an old fat

brown skinned man came to the door. He

looked at Tess and her voluptuous body and

licked his lips and then he looked behind her to

see Layla standing there.

"I see you brought back the slut, thank

you. I'll deal with her," he said while grabbing

his dick. Tess pulled out a pink pearl handle

baby 9 mm handgun from her thigh holster and

hit the fat man in the nose then she hit him

again in the mouth making him fall back into

the house on the floor.

Tess walked into the house. She

pointed the gun at the fat man on the floor.

"So, you like raping women and little girls," and

she hit him again.

"No, please stop," he cried, but Tess

didn't. She repeatedly hit him with the gun

over and over until his face looked like a

bloody mess then she pulled out a razor from

her purse. Layla was standing there shocked

as hell. She was enjoying her foster father

getting his ass whipped.

"Layla, come here." Layla walked over

to Tess. "Take this," Tess passed Layla the

razor. "Cut this fat motherfucker," with a

devilish grin. Layla swung the blade down on

her foster father's face.

"AAHHH," he cried. "Please stop!"

"You didn't want to stop when I asked

you to stop raping me," Layla said cutting him

again and again.

"Alright that's enough," Tess said while

grabbing the girl's hand because she was lost

in rage. Tess looked down at the fat man,

"Listen and listen to me good, if you tell the

cops or anybody else about what happened

today, you're death will be a painful one more

painful than what happened today."

The fat man looked in Tess's eyes and

knew she was serious. "I won't tell," he said

between crying and sobbing from pain.

"Oh, I know you won't," Tess replied.

"I'm going to take care of Layla from now on

and here's what I want you to do every time the

social worker comes over here. You call me

and I'll bring her over. You tell them that she

still lives here and you're going to do this until

she is eighteen and can legally live on her own.

Do you understand me?"

"Yes," the fat man said.

"You can keep the money they give you

for taking care of her every month. That's what

your ass was doing anyway and if I ever find

out you take in another girl and do the same

thing to them me and Layla will pay you a visit.

Here's my card with my number. You call me a

day before that social worker get here or else.

Come on Layla."

And with that Layla was the happiest girl

in the world. Tess took good care of her. She

taught her the drug game and the business

game and gave her an apartment to live in one

of her buildings when she turned eighteen.

Layla would go to the end of the earth for Tess

and back.

Bless pulled out a map. "Listen,

everyone they don't know that we know where

they're keeping Vanessa. That's the reason

why they want to call us at the last minute and

tell us where to meet them so we don't have

time to be ready."

"Yo, I have the team ready on the lower

eastside," Iris said. "Tyler had the lower

eastside projects on lock so that will be where

some of us will use for an escape and we have

some Chinese connects down there to hide if

need be."

"I'll have everything ready," Bless said

and with that the meeting was over, sending

the three young lieutenants to handle their part

of the plan.

"Yo, this shit is real fucked up," Iris said.

"How do you think Jose know we was behind

his brother's death. You think Ricardo sold us

out?"

"I don't know, but if he did he's dead

too," Tess replied.

"Shit, if you bitches didn't do the hit on

Hector, we wouldn't have this problem in the

first place, but no ya'll wanted to run around on

some female hit man shit like Kill Bill. None of

this shit would have gone down if you just sold

drugs and stayed to yourself," Bless said with

anger in his voice. He now knew who had put

a bomb in his car and had all type of people

trying to kill him. To him, it felt like every time

he was close to getting out of the drug game

some bullshit stuck him back in and he once

again had to become the beast he so badly

didn't want to be anymore.

"Listen Bless, I know you're mad, but we

did what we did there's no turning back. I'm

upset over this shit too. I lost one of my

closest friends and the next one has been

kidnapped," Tess said.

"Any man that's grimy enough to order a

hit on his own flesh and blood is a person not

to be trusted or to do business with. If he'd be

grimy enough to kill his own family, what you

think he'd do to his friends or business partners

or better yet you! The two of you already know

this after all the shit we've been through

together," Bless said while looking at the two

women with disgust in his eyes.

"Like Tess said we did what we did and

know we fucked up. Are you going to keep

throwing this shit in our face," Iris said.

"No Mami, you two are my heart and I'll

do anything for you. I'm just fucked up in the

head over this shit."

"We're sorry," Iris said and then got up.

"I have to go get some more things

ready, but don't think for a second I'm not

fucked up in the head over this shit too." Bless

said.

Iris bent down and kissed Tess deeply

and passionately on the lips. "Mmm," Iris

moaned. "Damn, I miss that," she said as she

looked Tess in her eyes. Tess looked at Bless

giving him the 'I didn't know she was going to

do that look.' Then Iris walked to the end of

table where Bless was sitting and used her

tongue to slowly move around his neck an

inched its way to his chin and then his lips.

Their tongues danced in each other's mouths

and her hand went down slow to feel his hard

dick through his jeans. Iris bent down and

started to unzip his jeans.

"Stop Iris!"

"What," she replied.

"I'm not feeling this. I can't keep doing

this. I love you, but my heart and body belongs

to Tess. I have to put a stop to this. It was

alright when we were younger, but this has to

stop!"

Iris got up off of her knees. "If that's

how you feel, I'll respect that! You feel the

same way Tess?"

Tess looked Iris in the eyes. She didn't

really want to answer the question. She loved

Iris and didn't want to hurt her, but just like her

man said, she wasn't in love with her and Bless

and she would be married. They couldn't

continue to do the things they did when they

were younger. "Yes Iris, I do feel the same

way."

"Alright," Iris said. "I don't have a

problem with that. You two still love me, right?"

"Of course we do," both Tess and Bless

said at the same time and got up and hugged

Iris tight. "We'll always love you no matter

what." Iris hugged them back feeling the same

way.

"Okay guys, I got to go get shit ready for

this morning. Holla at me if anything else

comes up," she said while her eyes were

locked on Bless's jeans to let him know she

was talking about his dick. She left the house

and jumped into her Benz and headed to her

house on the other side of Brooklyn to get

things ready.

Pray It Won't Be Our Last Night 

## Chapter 32

Tess was breathing hard and out of air.

Bless had just got done fucking the shit out of

her. 'Damn, that's some good dick,' she

thought. She laid there out of breath next to

Bless who was looking up at the ceiling with his

hand behind his head.

"Baby, what are you thinking about?"

Tess said. She moved closer to him and put

her head on his chest. She felt so safe in his

arms, always had.

"Yo Mami, I'm just thinking about all the

crazy shit that's going on and trying to shine

some light onto the situation."

"What you mean," Tess replied.

"Baby, it seems like every time I come to

getting the fuck out I can't. I wish we could just

get up and leave all this shit behind us, but the

man and gangster in me knows we can't leave

yet without getting Vanessa or killing Ebony

and Omar's killer."

"I feel what you're saying daddy and I

am sorry baby."

"Don't be sorry. I don't blame you. If it

wasn't this shit, it would've been something

else in these streets keeping us from getting

out."

"Don't talk like that," Tess replied.

"Tess sometimes the only way I see out

of this shit is death or jail. Shit, I'm laying here

with my wife to be, fucking and making love,

praying it won't be the last time."

Tears ran down Tess' face and soaked

Bless' chest. She knew what he meant. What

if he died or she died in this war that's about to

happen? Bless felt his woman's tears running

down on him. He lifted up her chin and kissed

her lips softly and then kissed her eyes, wiping

away her tears. "I love you too, baby," he

replied.

Tess spread her body across him and

sat up to ride him. She guided his dick into her

warm pussy and slowly grinded her hips

enjoying the sweet sensations she could only

feel with him. "Baby, am I going too slowly for

you," she moaned.

"No boo. Do your thing," Bless replied

while grinding her hips and forcing her all the

way down on his dick. She let out a moan. To

Bless there was nothing better than making

love to her. Yes, he loved to fuck the shit out

of her, but there was something special they

shared when they made love or the slow grind

as he liked to call it. It felt as if their souls were

making love too, not just their bodies. Tess'

pussy became wetter and wetter with ever slow

grind and she felt his dick go deeper and

deeper with tears in her eyes. She moaned, "I

love you."

"I love you too, boo." They continued to

make love for hours.

Hours later Tess and Bless stood fully

dressed in all black. Bless had on his new

bullet proof vest tight under his black shirt,

Tess did the same. It was only 12am and Jose

wouldn't call until 4am, but they couldn't sleep

so Tess thought it was best that they get ready.

Bless picked up the small machine gun and put

the extended clip full of black talons bullets in

the AR15 then he put his twin 45 desert eagle

handguns in his shoulder holster. Tess did the

same with her twin 40 Cali handguns on her

ankle holster that was strapped under her

jeans.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Bless' phone rang

and he picked it up, "Yo, who's this?"

"It's me, Boss. Everything is in place. I

have the soldiers ready at the spot," Damou

said.

"When I give you the signal, you know

what to do," and with that Bless hung up. He

looked over at Tess to see her on the phone

and then she hung up. "Who was that?" Bless

asked.

"It was Layla. She has her Bushwick

shooter's ready and waiting."

"That's good," Bless replied. "It's still

early and everything is ready."

Tess' cell phone rang she picked it up

on the first ring, "Who is this?"

"It's Lee," the voice responded. Tess

stopped to think. Lee was Young's cousin and

was an FBI agent and also part of the Asian

Mafia and she only met him twice out of all of

the years she knew Young and if he was

calling it couldn't be good. "Tess listen I can't

talk on this phone, but I have to meet you and

Bless."

Tess' instincts jumped. What does Lee

want to meet with her for? If they had

business, it was always handled through

Young. "Why can't Young meet me," Tess

replied.

"Tess, Young is dead."

"What! How?" she yelled.

"I don't have much time before the FED

tap into my phone. I block them out for only a

few seconds. Meet me at Eastern Parkway by

the Popeye's restaurant in ten minutes."

"Do you think it's a set up?" Bless

responded.

"Not really because Lee loved Young

and that motherfucker is dirtier than us, but I

can't believe Young is dead. We just saw him

today."

"We'll go meet him," Bless replied.

Bless and Tess hopped out of the black

Chevy Impala they got from Young just a few

days before. Tess thought it was best for them

to keep driving it since their car was too flashy.

Bless made sure to park the car a block away

from where they were meeting Lee just in case

they needed to get away fast. No one would

have seen what car they got in. They walked

down the block and saw a short Chinese man.

Bless and Tess made their way through

the crowd. Even at 12:30am at night Eastern

Parkway was still crowded with people coming

home from work, to people going to buy food at

the 24-hour restaurant, and the thugs on the

corner selling their drugs.

"Hi Lee," Tess said while hugging him.

Then Lee put out his hand to shake Bless'

hand.

"It's good to see you two. I just wish it

was on a better situation, but it's not."

"Should we be here talking in the open

like this," Bless replied.

"It's okay here we're mixed in with the

crowd and plus I ordered some Popeye's

chicken that I have to pick up when we're

done."

Tess and Bless looked at each other

thinking Lee was out of his mind, but shit they

planned to do the same. "Young was killed

today in Kings Plaza Mall," Lee stated.

"How he was with us," Tess said.

"I know! How come we just now finding

out," Bless responded.

"Because whoever killed him put his

body back in his car making time before

someone noticed it." Lee answered. "Shit, they

didn't find the body until after the mall closed

and they noticed the car shouldn't be there."

"Whoever killed Young knew what they

were doing. Who'd be crazy enough to kill him

knowing he's part of the Asian Mafia," Tess

said.

"I don't know. I think Young was getting

to close to the answers. That is why he was

killed. The FEDs have been watching Ricardo

and Jose and they tapped their phones and I

gave Young a tape with a voice on it

blackmailing Jose. I was hoping he could tell

me who the voice belonged to. I think he did. I

think Young's killer was..." A shot rang out

opening a wound in Lee's head and then his

chest. Lee hit the ground bleeding. Bless got

on his knees to help him, "Who...whose

Young's killer?" Bless asked, but it was no use

Lee was dead from the first shot.

The whole time Tess was scanning for

where the shots came from. Boom! A shot

exploded hitting Bless in the chest. He fell

back on the ground. People in the crowded

street

were

screaming

and

running

everywhere.

The shooter was holding his 30-30

sniper rifle looking through the scope and had

his aim locked on Bless' head. Just then Tess

pinpointed where the shots had come from.

Three years of being a contract killer had

taught her angles of how to shoot a person and

she knew the only way that the shot was

possible was from the building on the left on

the roof.

She raised her twin 40 Cali handguns

and squeezed the trigger. Bursts of gunfire

were let off by the 40 Cali bullets ripped

through the brick walls on top of the roof. The

sniper yelled in pain as one of the 40 Cali

bullets grazed his arm. The shooter pulled

back and started running, dropping the sniper

rifle while he jumped roof to roof making his

getaway.

Tess started heading for the building,

but knew she would never make it in time to

get the shooter. She stopped and looked back

at Bless who was now getting up. The crowd

of people were ducking, screaming, and

running all around. Bless grabbed Tess' hand

and pulled her down the block. They made it

to their car and jumped in and pulled off.

"This shit can't be good. Now we have

a dead FBI agent and another Asian Mafia.

Shit," Bless said while he was driving. Tess

looked at the hole in his shirt. The hole was

right where his heart was. She put her finger

through the hole and felt the metal vest.

"Yeah, the bullet didn't go through, but the shit

hurt like hell. I'm glad Young was right when

he said these new bulletproof vests will stop

almost any bullet," Bless stated.

"Shit baby, who you think tried to kill us

just now?" Tess asked.

"I don't know, but the son of a bitch can

shoot. He hit Lee dead center of his head and

I'm sure the next shot he had on me would

have made its way to my head if you didn't

start shooting and catch him off guard.

All or Nothing 

## Chapter 33

Ricardo sat in his red Lincoln Navigator

in front of the warehouse. Ten of his men were

already inside mixed in with twenty of Jose and

Carlos's men. Ricardo rubbed his arm from

the pain he felt and thought to himself all this

will be over in a few hours. Tess, Iris, Bless,

his brother Jose and cousin Carlos will all be

dead. Ricardo turned his neck and looked at

Tito in the passenger seat next to him, "Are

you ready for this?" Ricardo asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready and I'm down for it,"

Tito responded.

It was easy to get Tito to cross Carlos

because Carlos had pistol whipped him for

raping that girl. 'I have to kill him when this is

all said and done. If Tito will cross Carlos, the

hand that fed him, so easily he'll damn sure

cross me,' Ricardo thought to himself. Tito got

out of the truck and went inside the warehouse

to get ready for Ricardo's plan.

Four o'clock am, on the dot, Jose picked

up the phone and dialed Tess' number, "Como

esta bitch," Jose said into the phone.

"Enough with the name calling you fat

pig. Where you want us to meet you at?" Tess

responded.

"The

lower

eastside

there's

a

warehouse with the number 257 on it. You

can't miss it. It's right by the Hudson River.

You have ten minutes to get here on time or

your little friend here will die a painful death.

Ten minutes or else," he yelled into the phone

and hung up.

Little did he know Tess, Iris and Bless

were sitting in the black Chevy Impala a block

away from the warehouse with their soldiers all

in place waiting for the signal to rush the

building. Layla sat on a roof with a 50 caliber

sniper rifle. When Tess gave her the signal,

she would start shooting and the soldiers

would move in.

Bless pulled the car up in front of the

warehouse and got out of the car followed by

Tess and Iris. All three of them were wearing

long Gucci coats hiding their AR15's and the

guns they had in their holster. As the three of

them walk to the building door, one of Jose's

men tried to pat Bless down. "Get you're

fucking hands off of me fool," Bless yelled.

The gunman looked Bless in the eyes

wanting to kill him right then and there, but he

had orders to let them pass. The gunman

thought, 'So, what if they have guns on them?

They're outnumbered and still going to die,'

with the thought of that he smiled at Bless and

let him pass.

Once inside the big warehouse, Tess,

Bless and Iris took in everything; where

everybody was standing and exits. "Welcome,

welcome," Jose said from the middle of the

room. Carlos and Ricardo were standing right

by him and there were gunmen all around the

place on the upper level. They were leaning

over the rail with M16 rifle's aimed at Bless,

Tess, and Iris.

"Where is she?" Tess yelled.

Jose smiled and moved his fat body to

the side to reveal Vanessa tied to a chair all

weak and beaten up. Vanessa lifted her head,

"I told you not to come!"

"I'll never leave anyone on my team,

Vanessa. You know that," Tess replied.

"How touching," Jose said, "Before I kill

you, tell me why you killed my brother."

Tess began to open her mouth to speak

when Ricardo raised his Beretta 9mm. Jose

grabbed Ricardo's arm, "What are you doing?

We'll get to do that in due time."

In those few seconds that Jose turned

his head to talk to Ricardo, no one noticed

Bless, Tess and Iris let flash grenades fall from

their coats and roll over to Jose and his men.

All of Jose's men were too busy looking at

Jose yell at Ricardo. Bless, Tess and Iris had

shut their eyes tight. Carlos looked over at

them and then Jose and Ricardo did the same.

"It's too late to pray," Jose said.

"Who said anything about praying," Tess

replied.

Carlos looked down and saw the black

object on the floor by his feet, but it was too

late. Boom! A loud explosion went off and

bright light, as bright as the sun, filled the room

blinding everyone in the warehouse, but Tess,

Bless and Iris. And in one quick move their

coats fell to the ground. Tess and Bless pulled

out their AR15 and started spraying black

Talon's bullets into everything moving. Shots

fired sent bodies twisting and jerking in place.

Jose dove to the ground.

Damou and Tyler were outside making

their way in with their soldiers. Damou let off

shots from the Mac10 hitting the gunman at the

front door. Damou made his way inside

followed by the soldiers. Layla was giving

cover with the sniper rifle blowing holes into

Jose's gunmen's heads. It was an all out war.

Tess made her way to Vanessa who

was on the floor. Tess untied her from the

chair and passed her one of the 40 Cali

handguns from her holster. Just then all hell

broke loose FBI agents came out of nowhere

rushing the warehouse, "Freeze, FBI put your

hands up!"

Jose's gunmen began shooting at the

FEDs. FBI agents were everywhere shooting

and killing whoever and whatever. Vanessa

was moving cautiously keeping her eyes on

Tito.

Jose was hiding behind Carlos, "Shit,

we have to get out of here now," Jose

screamed.

Carlos looked and saw one of Tess'

soldiers aiming at him. Carlos ducked and the

shot missed. Carlos squeezed the trigger of

his 9mm. The bullet hit Tess' soldier in the

head. Carlos started heading to the side door

of the warehouse with Jose following behind

him. Tito took aim and let off three quick shots

all hitting Jose in the back. Jose fell to the

floor. Tito walked over to Jose's body and

aimed the nozzle of his gun at Jose's head.

"I told you motherfucker. I'll get you,"

Tito heard the voice say in his ear as he felt the

barrel of a gun on his head. Tito knew the

voice belonged to Vanessa and knew he was

dead. Vanessa squeezed the trigger of the

gun and the hollow point bullet shredded his

skull and sent his brain matter spraying

everywhere.

Ricardo saw Tito's head explode.

Ricardo aimed and shot Vanessa in the back.

Vanessa fell to the floor in pain. She was too

weak to get up. Ricardo walked over to his

brother's body making sure he stayed low from

all of the bullets that were flying everywhere.

Ricardo looked down in surprise to see Jose

was still alive.

"Help me, Ricardo, help me." Ricardo

looked down at his brother and raised his 45

revolver to his head. Jose's eyes grew wide.

"What are you doing," Jose said.

"Taking over bro," Boom! The shot tore

a hole through Jose's head. Carlos stopped

shooting for a minute and looked back to find

Jose. He looked around at all the exchanging

gunfire, but he couldn't believe his eyes. He

had just seen Ricardo kill Jose. Carlos made

his way to the hiding escape path behind the

wall and ran for his life.

Damou knew he was outnumbered

because of the FEDs. So, he pulled back and

made a run for the projects with Tyler behind

him. Most of their soldiers were dead or dying.

"Freeze FBI," an FBI agent was right in front of

Damou and Tyler blocking their path to the

projects. Damou pulled the trigger to his

Mac11 rapid fire ripped through the agent's

face and body. Damou started to run to the

lower eastside projects.

An FBI agent saw one of his partners

go down by Damou's gun. The agent aimed

his Mp5 sub-machine gun and the bullets tore

through Tyler's back. Damou looked back and

saw Tyler hit the ground. He knew he had to

keep moving and ran even faster.

A burst of automatic fire was let off from

Bless' gun ripping through FBI agents and

Jose's men. He was clearing the way to the

back door for him, Tess, and Iris to get away.

Bless made it outside through the back door.

He chased a gunman next to the rail of the

Hudson River. His AR15 was out of ammo.

He dropped the gun and pulled out his twin 45

desert eagle handguns from his holster and

pulled the triggers. Bullets tore through the

gunman's face and body. Bless turned around

to see Iris was behind him, "Where's Tess?"

Bless yelled.

"She's coming. She went back to grab

Vanessa," Iris stated. "Why couldn't you love

me more than her?"

"What," Bless replied.

Iris raised her Heckler 9mm and aimed it

at his head. Bless was shocked and surprised

at once, "What are you doing, Iris? We don't

have the time for this shit now."

"Why the fuck you couldn't love me?

Was it because my father raped me and I was

dirty in your eyes?" Iris yelled.

Bless now knew Iris was serious or went

crazy. "Iris, what are you doing," Bless said

never taking his eyes off of the gun pointed at

him.

Iris started to cry. "It was me who put

the bomb in your car. It was me who killed

Young because he was coming to close to the

truth with the tape."

"The truth?" Bless asked.

"The truth that I told Jose that it was

Tess who killed Hector," she replied.

"What?" Bless asked.

"Because I was hoping one of you would

get killed and I could be with the other.

Everything was all good when you were in jail.

Tess loved me and then you came home. She

wants to leave the game and me," Iris yelled.

"Iris, Tess never loved you like that."

Bless stated.

"Yes, she did," Iris yelled.

"So, you kill Young and try to blow me

up for what?" Bless asked.

"For love," Iris replied. "I want all of the

love for myself and not have to share and if I

can't have you. I'll have Tess."

"Iris, you sound fucking crazy." Bless

said.

"You want to know how fucking crazy I

am. I was the one who set Vanessa up and

put the money in her house with the tracing

device in it. I was the one who killed Lee last

night and then shot you. I don't know how you

lived and I would have shot you in the head if

Tess didn't start shooting at me all crazy and

shit, but I won't make the same mistake twice."

Iris said.

Just then Bless raised his gun and let off

four shots. Iris squeezed the trigger of her

gun. The first bullet hit Bless in the head, the

next in his neck, and two shots went to his

chest making him fall back over the rail and he

fell into the Hudson River. Iris looked at her

body and was surprised none of Bless's bullets

hit her. She knew Bless' aim was always on

point. Shit, he taught her how to shoot. Iris

looked behind to see one of Jose's gun men on

the ground moaning in pain. 'Oh shit, he

wasn't even aiming at me. He just saved me

but why?' she thought.

Tess was holding Vanessa up and

pulling her out of the back door. Tess saw

Bless go over the rail, "Noooo," she screamed.

Iris looked up and saw Tess and

Vanessa at the back door of the warehouse

and then she looked at the gunman on the

ground and thought quickly. She fired two

shots into the gunman's head.

Tess and Vanessa made their way over

to Iris. Iris prayed they didn't see everything.

"What happened?" Tess yelled with tears in her

eyes.

"One of Jose's men killed Bless." Iris

replied.

"Nooo!" Tess started to cry hysterically.

"Listen, we have to go. The FEDs are

all over the place," Iris said while grabbing

Tess and Vanessa and leading them to a

manhole. They climbed into the tunnel and

walked for eleven blocks and climbed back out.

Outside on the street a white Cadillac Escalade

was waiting for the three women to hop in.

"Pull off, Layla," Tess said.

"Where's Bless?" Layla asked but could

tell by the tears in her mentor's eyes what had

happened.

"Just pull off," Tess replied.

Layla did as she was told. In the truck

all three women changed clothes. "Yo, the

FEDs blocked the streets off for ten blocks just

like you said," Layla said. "Shit, is crazy on the

lower eastside." Layla pulled the truck over at

42nd street and all four women hopped out and

headed for Penn Station. "What about the

truck?" Layla asked.

"Someone will come and pick it up

tonight. It's all been planned out," Tess said

with tears in her eyes.

All four women got on a train heading to

Atlanta, Georgia. Tess cried the whole ride

there. Vanessa and Layla were sleeping after

Tess stopped the bleeding and stitched up

Vanessa's bullet wound. The bullet only went

through her shoulder from her back. Iris and

Tess were still up for the train ride. "Iris, I

never told him," Tess said.

"You never told him what," Iris replied.

"He knew I was still keeping something

from him and I was going to tell him." Tess

said.

"Tell him what," Iris replied.

"That I'm three months pregnant with

Bless' baby." It happened the day they had the

threesome around when Bless first came out of

jail.

Iris thought to herself, 'Guess that jail

dick was stronger than we thought,' as she

looked down at her own stomach and rubbed

it.

Damou's Time 

## Chapter 34

Ricardo sat on his bed getting head by

Marilyn. He was on top of the world. The

family's drug business belonged to him now

and he even had Jose's wife, Marilyn. "Yeah,

suck, suck that dick," he ordered Marilyn while

grabbing the back of her head and pushing his

dick all the way in her mouth. He began to

move it in and out of her mouth fucking it hard

like he was fucking some pussy until he came

in her mouth.

Marilyn swallowed it and then licked her

lips, "Mmm, that tastes so good." Ricardo's

eyes never left her hazel eyes.

When he looked up, fear hit his face.

Carlos was standing in front of him with a

sawed off shot gun aiming it at his head, "What

the fuck? Carlos, what are you doing here?"

"Don't play stupid puto. I know you

killed Jose, but why?"

The whole time Carlos was talking

Ricardo was slowly reaching for his 44 revolver

up under his pillow. Ricardo pulled the gun out

and pointed at Carlos. Marilyn was now on the

floor next to the bed.

"Yeah, I killed him and I had Hector

killed too and I'm going to kill you too! You

want to know why because I'm taking over the

family business. I'm taking the spot that should

have been mines to begin with." Ricardo

pulled the trigger of his gun hoping to catch

Carlos off guard and kill him first. Click, click,

click, and click. "What the fuck," Ricardo yelled

as he looked down at his gun and noticed there

were no bullets in it.

Just then Marilyn stood up with a smile

and stood next to Carlos. "So, you thought no

one would find your Washington Heights house

and now you see that Marilyn took the bullets

out of your gun and told me where to find you.

Don't you remember the rules Jose taught us."

The sawed off shot gun roared blowing a hole

in Ricardo's chest. Carlos walked up to him

and pulled the trigger again making the

shotgun roar once more blowing half of

Ricardo's face off. Carlos reloaded the

shotgun and aimed it at Marilyn.

"What are you doing," she yelled.

"I'm following the rules." Boom! The

shot sent her body back into the wall where

she slumped over dead. As Carlos left the

house, he thought of what Jose taught him,

never let anyone know where you live, no

woman that's not your wife, and kill all

witnesses, even women.

Damou hadn't heard from Tess or Iris

after that day. Damou watched Carlos come

out the front door just as Bless planned.

Damou followed him and knew he'd kill

Ricardo. Damou was thinking how his role

model could be dead. Bless always planned

for everything even this. A tear rolled down

Damou's face because he never told Bless that

he was his younger brother, that they had the

same crack head ass father. He didn't know

how to tell Bless this because Bless disowned

his father for leaving him so many years back

and Damou didn't want Bless to disown him.

So, he was scared to tell him. So, he told

himself he would prove himself worthy and

then tell him he was his little brother. Now it

was too late.

Carlos was walking down the stairs of

Ricardo's house. He never saw the man

across the street on the motorcycle. Damou

pulled the trigger of the Uzi and the hollow

point rounds ripped through Carlos' face and

body killing Carlos instantly. Damou put the

Ducati motorcycle in gear and popped up in the

air and he held it up for a while and headed

back to Brooklyn. The whole ride back he

thought, 'I will put Brooklyn back on the map.

I'll finish what Tess and my brother started.'

Awaking 

## Chapter 35

All Danilo remembered was sleeping in

his Atlanta, Georgia house and was awakened

by a sharp pain to his neck. It felt as if

someone put a needle in his neck and his

world went black. "Umm," Danilo moaned. He

opened his eyes and looked around. He was

in his living room duck taped to a chair and felt

very weak. Danilo looked up and saw three

beautiful women standing in front of him.

"W...what the fuck is this?" The women smiled

at him. "What the fuck you want? The money

is in the bedroom."

"Oh Danilo, this ain't about no money,"

the dark skinned one said.

Danilo looked at her closely and it came

racing back to him. This was one of his targets

that Ricardo had paid him to kill, but was only

able to kill two of them. "Fuck you, go ahead

and kill me you bitch."

"Oh Danilo, we're going to kill you, but it

won't be fast," Tess said. Just then Vanessa

pulled out a blow torch and lit it up. Danilo's

heart began to race. Vanessa got down on her

knees in front of him. Danilo noticed how

much she looked like the girl he killed in

Brooklyn, but with light skin. Danilo also

realized he was naked. As the blowtorch made

its way between his thighs, Danilo screamed,

"AAHHH!"

"This is for my sister," Vanessa said as

she burned his dick and the rest of his body

went up in flames. Tess set the rest of Danilo's

house on fire and the three women left. They

hopped into a black Porsche Cayenne. "Drive

Layla," Tess ordered and with that they were

gone. 

## Epilogue

### In

Bellevue hospital, two

doctors

compared notes about the patient they worked

on. "Doctor James, I don't really know how he

survived the surgery," Doctor Henry stated.

"Yeah, me either with all the holes in his

head and all, but the operation had little

complications and went smoothly," Doctor

James replied.

"But he's in a coma and there's no

telling if he'll ever wake up. We're just going to

have to wait and see and keep him on the

respirator for the time being. Did he have ID

on him? Is there any way we can locate his

family," Doctor Henry asked.

"He was found with nothing on him. So,

he's a John Doe, but he did have a chain on

his neck that had the word "Bless" on it!"

"Yes, he must truly be blessed to live

through what he did."
