Sorry for any mistakes.

Anthony (Ghost)

I wasn't even gone front, I did miss shorty. It's been a minute since I seen her so and seeing her now made me feel some type of way. And yeah, I was pissed about her just dipping off me but I understand why with her insecurities and shit. But it wasn't my fault, It was my homies party and females was there. So who am I to kick them out his session.

I just didn't get why she hopped in that niggas car after all the shit he did to her.

Right now we was just chilling, listening to the music from Chilli's friend house. I wasn't gone come to this shit but Kev needed a ride here since his car in the shop so here I am.

I looked at Nae and she was staring ahead, daydreaming. I leaned over a little, passing her the blunt and she looked at it then me. "Nah I'm good." She shook her head.

"Why?" I asked, relighting it.

"Cause I'm not in the smoking mood." She said.

"Well shid, excuse me." I said hitting it and she smacked her lips, chuckling.

We sat in silence again, listening to the music as More people was coming in and some was leaving. I noticed two black SUVs pulling up slowly. They parked in a spot a few cars just got out of in front of me on the opposite side of the street. I waited to see who it was but they didn't get out. The windows was tinted so I couldn't see inside. I immediately got a bad feeling.

I grabbed my nine off my waist and sat it on my lap. I reached under my seat making sure my other one was there. "What's that for?" I hear Nae ask.

I started the car, making sure I turned my lights off and put it in drive just in case. I texted Kev nem, letting them know about it and he said okay. I messaged a few others to come through with a truck for them. I didn't see them coming out the front so I know they went out the back. "Anthony, why do you have a gun out? What's that for?" She asked again, paranoid.

I could tell she was getting scared. So I told them to let let me know when they out so I can dip. If some was to happen I didn't want her ass in the middle of it. "Imma have one of my homies drive you home. Ight Relax. Waiting on kev."

"Why? What's wrong?"

My phone buzzes and I checked it, seeing the message from Kev saying all of them was out now. I typed in and saved their license plates then I quickly did a U-turn speeding down the road when I hear the shots go off. Nae did a high pitch scream, ducking. I hear one hit the back of my car as I turned down an alley but the shots didn't stop.

"Oh my god. Oh my god." I hear her cry.

"Yo you good?" I asked, glancing at her. "Nae?"

"No! They fucking shooting at us Anthony." She cried. I went down different alleys to get to one of my garages I had for reasons like this.

"Just keep your head down we almost there." I said. I went down the last alley to get there and opened the garage door with the remote. I drove in, parked, and closed the door and the lights automatically came on. "C'mon. I'll have one of my homies take you home."

"What? Why?" She said shaken up, getting out on the car.

"Cause I gotta take care of some."

I unlocked the door to the house and held it for her to walk in. I closed the door and flicked the lights on. I haven't used this crib in a minute. It was my first crib I paid for myself.

I hit up one of my homies and told him to come through. I couldn't risk taking her home myself and she getting hurt if they find me. Which I highly doubt but better safe than sorry.

I got off the phone with him and looked over at her. She was standing, looking at the floor, hugging herself. "My homie on his way, you okay?"

"Who was shooting at us?" She asked.

"Shooting at me and It's none you have to worry about."

"Why would they be doing that? Is it that Kane dude still? I thought that was over with?"

"It is. Don't worry about it." I walked into the kitchen and she was right behind me. "You can take a seat in there, you safe."

"No. I'm scared." She said. "How do you know they didn't see us come here?"

"Cause I know. Stop being paranoid. You good."

"We just got shot at and a bullets hit your car so why are you so nonchalant about this? This is not okay Anthony." She said. I could hear the attitude in her voice and I didn't have time for any of that shit.

"Yo I just said you good. You not hit, bleeding, or shit. Chill out."

"No I'm not gonna chill out. And it doesn't matter, I was just shot at. I could have been." She said. Her phone ringed and she answered. "Y'all okay?" She said talking to her friends I'm guessing.

I finished the rest of my bottle of water and threw it in the garbage. I walked out the kitchen to the living room. The couches was still in the wrapping paper so I torn it off, tossing it on the table. I sat down and waited for Kev and them to text me back and the homies from my other cribs.

I grabbed my joint from behind my ear and lit it. I leaned back as I waited for her to get done talking to them. And just as I said that she came walking in and sat down next to me. "They're okay."

"That's good. Kev still with them?" I asked and she shook her head no. We sat in silence and just waited together.

I texted another homie and gave him the plates to look up and track them down for me. I know he not dumb enough ride along with them niggas so I know he probably still hiding out somewhere. But we'll get to him eventually, I'm dropping these niggas that shot at me while I'm with Nae. No one left alive.

Nae pulled me out my thoughts when I felt her curl up next to me, laying on my chest. "Where you going when I leave?" She asked.

"I told you."

"You really didn't. Don't do nothing stupid Anthony." She sighed. "Be safe."

I didn't say anything as I was looking at the ceiling. She sounded like my mama. I never had a female care about what I do for a living. They just accept it and roll with it, they was use to the shit. I already knew this wasn't her lifestyle so I try to keep her out of it. But can't help that a nigga likes and wants her company. She different in the best way and that shit is rare and attractive.

"Gotchu." My phone buzzed and I knew it was Carlos. "He here." I said and we got up and walked to the door. I opened it for her and we walked out to the car and I dapped up Carlos.

She was about to get in but I grabbed her arm, pulling her into me for a hug. "Text me when you in." I said kissing her neck then her forehead.

"Okay." She said blushing and I let her go. She got in and I told Carlos to meet back at one of the traps when he done. I already have the location on them trucks so all we need to do is ride out.

——————————-

I put the clip in my nine, cocking it and did the same to another one. I was with Kev and them getting ready to leave. I check the location again and they was still in the same spot. "They still there?" Mark asked and I nodded.

"Nae told me y'all got hit?" Kev said.

"The back of my car."

"Damn. She good?" Eli asked referring to Nae and I nodded.

"Always." I stood up, tucking one of them. "We out." I said walking out. It was cold as fuck but my blood was boiling. I'll lay out his entire shit before he think he can pull some fuck shit on me.

We was taking two cars so I got in one with Carlos, Kev, and one of my other homies name Bib. Mark and Eli rode together with Clyde. We drove off to take care of this shit. I'm never proud of anything I do but respect is either earned or taken. I'm not gone earn it so I'm taking it.

My phone buzzed and I checked it seeing Nae name.

Nae
I made it home.

I shook my head. She was an hour late letting me know. I would've texted her and made sure myself but Carlos said he made sure she got in the house before leaving.

Late ass. Ight gn.

I turned my phone off, putting it in my pocket and seen we was down the block now. Carlos parked in an alley and we all got out. The streets was quiet, nobody was out like normally. The street lights was dimmed as fuck so I guess thats even better.

Kev finally got out with a gas canister and lighter. What the fuck. "The fuck is that for?" Eli said frowning.

"I'm burning that shit down. The fuck you think." He said and I shook my head. He gotta leave his mark.

"This nigga stupid. We going around to the back." Mark said chuckling and I nodded. Him, Eli, and Clyde walked away.

"Let's move." I said going the opposite way Mark and them went. We went through peoples front yards, staying in the shadows until we got to the side of the house. I seen Eli and them already in the back and shots go off.

Two niggas came running out the front and I got'em in the back. I shit through the window catching another in the neck. I walked in popping anyone I saw.

Mark and them walked in through the back and nodded. I knew that meant it was clear in the back. Carlos pulled the radio out and the music cut off. We stood still listening for anyone else here. And just like I thought, something downstairs fell. I'm guessing that's the basement.

We went down the stairs and the basement door was closed. Bib used his sleeve to open the door and walked in slowly. We walked in behind him and it was empty. It was two other doors down here and Mark checked one and it was clear. Bib bust through the other one and a high pitch ass scream was heard and a female begin begging for her life. He fired three shots into her and closed the door back.

"Damn." I hear Kev say.

I wasn't surprised, he has no mercy for anyone involved with an enemy. Reason I gave him a job on the team.

"We out. 12 on the way." I said leaving quickly. We was heading out when Kevin said he'll meet us back at the car. He begin pouring gasoline around the house as we walked out.

The sirens was getting closer and we hurried to the car. "Y'all go we'll catch up." I told Mark and them. They left and it was just Carlos, Bib, and me waiting for this nigga. We see the smoke in the air from where we was at. He was running and made it to us and we got in, pulling off.

We went the opposite direction and got back on a Main Street. We seen multiple police cars, ambulances and a fire truck driving past us to that block.

I sat back and turned my phone back on and instantly got messages and calls from people. It was from unknown numbers, Monica, my little brother, and Nae.

I went to my little brother number and called him. It's rare that he hits my line so it must be important. It rung a few times and he answered. "Yeah?"

"You called. Wassup?"

"Ma need need help with the new furniture." He said and I frowned.

"And why you can't help her? You live there."

"I am but she told me to tell you to come help." He said and I sighed.

"Ight. I'll be there tomorrow." We hung up and I looked up seeing us pulling into the crib. People was standing outside and I instantly got pissed. This the quietest neighborhood with middle aged and elder people. Police never around here so why they standing out here smoking and drinking like these people won't call the police. Fucking up my whole shit.

We got out and they all looked towards us. We walked over and it was quiet. "Fuck going on? Why y'all posted on the porch like y'all don't got business to do?

"My fault G, some niggas in a Limo came by a hour ago, dropped off this envelope." One of my weed mans said, handing me the envelope.

I took it, and walked pass them into the house. They all followed behind going back to work and we went to my office. "You think it's from Kane bitch ass?" Mark said as I opened it.

I read it and they want to set up a meeting to discuss all this shit but my mind was already made up. I didn't recognize the name from this person at all. "Who the fuck is Vito?"
