My Besties: The Come Up (10 page)

“Fuck going on here?”

Even though their faces were partially covered, I could tell it was E and Re. Shit, Re looked like she was about to shoot us too. She looked at E and said, “Bestie, grab them bags and let’s go.”

She started backing up to the back door. “If y’all niggas want it, I’ll murk all y’all! Try me!”

Big Moe wasn’t trying to let that money leave that bank. “Shawty, you don’t know who you fucking with –.”

Before he could finish his statement…

TAT! TAT! TAT!

We all looked on in shock as the bank manager’s brains flew from the back of her head. ReRe pointed the gun back at them and said, “Run up!”

(JuJu) 7:14 a.m.

I heard what sounded like gunshots. Tiki and I flew through that lobby. As we hit the corner, we heard Re loud and clear tell somebody to run up, “Tiki, you ready?”

She was the first to hit the corner, gun pointed. “What the fuck?”

I was on her bumper when she hit the corner. I almost passed out when I saw Jaw and Poohman standing there with their guns pointed at three other niggas. Fuck the fact that there was a dead bitch on the floor. Jaw gave me a look that could have made the devil tuck his tail.

ReRe snapped me out of my trance. “Besties grab that money and let’s go!”

I went to grab one of the bags that was on the floor and out of nowhere; one of the dudes went to grab me.

POP! POP!

I closed my eyes and shot. When I finally opened my eyes, dude was on the floor. I knew he was dead. The bullet between his eyes told me so.

(Big Moe) 7:15a.m.

This shit is outta control. Now here come two mo niggas. More bodies to drop. I looked at Boogie and gave him that familiar nod. When this little nigga attempted to grab, Boogie lunged at him.

POP! POP!

“What the fuck?” My cousin hit the floor hard.

“Boogie, man Joe, get up! Get up!”

I jumped to my feet and started shooting. We’re going to blame me missing my targets on the fact that they just fucked my head up by murking my cousin.

 
Motha fuckers were running in every direction trying not to catch a bullet. JR wasn’t even shooting. He was on the ground acting a fool!

“BRO PLEASE GET UP! AWWW, SHIT! MY NIGGA, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE!” He was screaming so loud that I’m sure Boogie’s ass heard him in hell.

“Come on cuz, we gotta go! Get up! He dead, nigga! We gotta go before the police come!” I turned and ran in the security room to get the tapes because none of us had on masks. After I got the tapes, I ran and grabbed JR. “Come on baby boy, we gotta go now!”

He looked at me with the saddest eyes ever and said, “I’m killing everything moving until I find out who did this!”

Dude with the dreads sounded very familiar.

“We gon end up on
The First 48
, if we don’t dip now! Don’t worry, it’s on!”

“Many men wish death upon me, blood

in eyes dog and I can’t see, I’m trying to be

what I’m destine to be and niggas trying to

take my life away!”

Chapter 16

LJ

After that nigga clicked out and started shooting wildly, we all got ghost. I even grabbed one of the bags that was on the floor as we ran out that bitch. I snatched JuJu’s arm and Poohman grabbed ReRe’s. I told E and Tiki to meet us at my crib. We drove in silence for what seemed like forever. That shit was crazy!

“Ju, you cool?”

She looked at me with this blank ass expression. “Damn, I didn’t mean to kill him, boo.”

ReRe’s crazy ass came out of nowhere. “Fuck them niggas! If you didn’t shoot first, guaranteed you’d be the one with the bullet between yo eyes.”

Poohman and I made eye contact. Re’s ass is a killer!

“You right Re, but can I have some remorse?”

I felt bad for my boo. Clearly, she wasn’t meant to be a killer.

“Ju, what would possess y’all to hit a bank? Keep that shit one hundred. You been lying to me for a minute, just thought I would let you know. She looked back at ReRe for support.

Poohman jumped in, “Don’t look back here! Re’s ass in deep shit, too!”

So for the next thirty minutes she told me how they were getting their dough around the hood. What she told me next shocked the fuck out of me. She told me that they hit that garage on Marquette.

“That was y’all? That was y’all, what?” I hit the steering wheel hard as fuck, scaring the fuck out of her. “Do you fucking know the bullshit that’s about to come your way? Our way? Them niggas that was at the bank; that was they money y’all took, Ju!”

I couldn’t believe this shit. “I grew up with them. They’re some killers too. They’re going to beat the streets until they find out what they wanna know.” I didn’t want to scare her, but it was the truth. We were about to go to war with Big Moe.

“Jaw, I’m not scared.”

At that moment, I wanted to slap the shit outta her. She knew it too!

“It ain’t about being scared. It’s about being smart. They hit banks for a living. They kill for a living. How y’all hit the same bank at the same time was crazy, but damn Ju, you killed one of them and took they money! Twice! They coming!”

I looked at Poohman and said, “I know Big Moe grabbed those tapes!”

45 Minutes Later

We finally got back to my crib. “Poohman, grab one of these bags, my nigga.”

“Tell Little
Miss
Set It Off
, to do it!”

E and Tiki waited for us on the porch. “Damn, took y’all long enough.”

Once we got in the crib, we got down to business counting that money. Four hours, two blunts, and three pizzas later, we were finally finished. All I could say was, “Damn shawty, y’all came the fuck up!”

We counted $803,517.00.

Meanwhile On the Other Side of Town

(JR)

I can’t believe my brothers gone. He was all I had left. I keep playing that scene over in my head. How did they hit our lick? I blame Big Moe’s ass. He should have had his information right. That was his setup. I’m trying to also figure out why Jaw was there. I know him a mile away. Was he in on that shit? Who were the bitches that were with him? Who was that other cat? Why would Jaw have anything to do with killing Boogie?

“Tutu, come ere.”

She walked in the room and gave me a hug. I pushed her ass back. “Bitch, fuck all that sentimental shit! Did you find out who Dirty E was?”

“Yeah.”

I was waiting for her to finish. “And?”

“E is a girl and she hangs with three other girls name JuJu, Tiki, and ReRe.”

I got up and grabbed my car keys. I had a few moves to make. I grabbed my .45 off the dresser and walked towards Tutu. “Maybe in the next lifetime you’ll be a better bitch!” Before she could say shit else.

BOOM!

I shot that hoe in her lying ass mouth. She fell to the floor.

BOOM!

I shot her in the head for good measures. “Dirty Bitch!”

(Big Moe)

I done watched this tape over and over again trying to figure out who these motha fuckers are. The two we first ran up on in the bank were bitches. On the low, that was some gangsta ass shit. I can admit, but my pride won’t let that go. Twice I’ve been beat for my money. Hell naw, I’m killing somebody. Right now, I’m too stressed to think. I need some pussy.

“Hello.”

“What up with it?”

“Where you at?”

“At the crib chilling. Why? You trying to come break a bitch off?”

“Hell yeah. That’s music to my ears.”

“8415 South Marquette.”

“I’m on the way.”

(Auntie Boo)

Let me jump up and hit this shower real quick. It’s been awhile since I’ve had some. I’m on no layup shit though. He can hit this pussy and be on his merry little way. As soon as I hit the shower, my phone rings. I looked at the caller ID and started to not answer.

“Hello.”

“Auntie, I’m trying to come holla at you ASAP.”

“Damn, you can’t wait? I’m trying to get some.”

“What I gotta say is better than some dick.”

Now he’s got my attention. “Better than dick, huh?”

“Hell yeah! All I’mma say is, that Ju and her little besties done set some shit off, and me and Poohman accidently helped them.”

“Bring ya ass, now!”

“It’s me, Poohman, Ju, and ReRe.”

“Hurry up!”

(Lil Mama)

“Hey hoe! What you doing?”

“I think ya niece trying to be just like you when she grow up.”

“Fuck you talking about? Spit that shit out!”

“All I’mma say over this phone is
Set It Off
!”

“OMG! NEVER!”

“Come through. They on their way here.”

“I’m on the way.”

(JR)

I’ve been all over the Eastside looking for these hoes that they call the
Eastside Crazy Crew
. From what I was told, these little bitches have been on a robbing spree. If these are the same hoes that hit the garage and that bank, I’mma enjoy killing they asses.

“Big Moe, where you at? Meet me somewhere.”

“What’s good nigga? I’m about to splash in some pussy.”

“I found out who hit the spot over East.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah, and get this, they the same hoes that hit the bank.”

“Hoes?”

“Yeah nigga, you heard me right, some hoes.”

“Meet me at my little friends crib. 8415 Marquette.”

“I’m right around the way.”

(E)

I’ve been on turn up mode all day. We came up big time. I’m not even going to lie, that lick was fun as shit, boy! My besties are some gangstas! JuJu surprised the fuck out of me. I knew that she had a little gangsta up in her, but damn. She did that! We do need to sit down and figure out our next three moves. Tiki and I have been chilling downtown doing some light shopping. LJ and Poohman got Thelma and Louise on lock. I’m no hater, but we all need to talk.

“What yo ass over there thinking about?” Tiki brought me from my thoughts.

“Shit, we need to get up with Ju and Re. Call em.”

She answered on the first ring. “Hey, what you up to?”

“Where you at, killa?”

“Don’t call me that, bitch!”

“You better watch that bitch word, hoe. I’m a grown ass man.”

“Yeah, you wish.”

“Well, my dick say otherwise.”

“Ugh, E! You nasty!

“What?”

“Where you at?”

“On the way to Boo’s.”

“ReRe with you?”

“Yeah, why?”

“We need to meet up ASAP and talk about a few things.”

BEEP!

“Hold on Ju, my other line beeping.” I clicked over. “Yo?”

“Dirty, some nigga riding around here in a tan Impala, paying motha fuckers for information about E.S.C.”

“Word? Who talking?”

“You gon be mad, but fuck him. It’sLil Man.”

“Damn! Alright my nigga thanks for the info.”

I clicked back over mad as hell. “You still there?”

“I was about to hang up, shit! Got a bitch on hold like that!”

“Man, shut up. I’ll meet y’all at Boo’s.”

Chapter 17

Auntie Boo

Wonder why I don’t have a verse on my page? I’m old school. Real G’s don’t need no introduction. Feel me? Damn, I need a beer! Let me call Jaw before he gets here.

“Yo?”

“Nephew, you’ll stop and grab me a few beers? I’m about to throw a few steaks on the grill since y’all coming. My company just called and said he’s bringing his cousin. So, I might as well, fill y’all asses.”

“Who’s yo company?”

“Nobody you know, nosey ass. Hurry up!”

“Alright, whatever!”

(Lil Mama)

Damn, I need to go see Pete real quick. I need to see if he found out what I was looking for. I hit Boo up to let her know I’mma be a few minutes late. “Boo, I gotta run by to see Pete real quick.”

“Bitch, who you looking for?”

“Yo ass so damn nosey. I’ll see you in a minute.”

“I got some steaks on the grill. My new little tender is bringing his cousin.”

“Lil tender? Bitch, how old is this little nigga and his cousin? I don’t date kids.”

“Fuck you hoe. I got him by like six years, but so what. Bring yo ass.”

“Here you go with this blind date shit. I’m on my way. Bitch, if he got his pants sagging off his ass and he calls me shawty, I’m leaving.”

(Big Moe)

“A, I’m outside baby.”
