Ruthless

Legend 60

We sat there quietly trying to figure out who was going to be the first to speak, Epic sat there eating his food, while Icon tapped the table impatiently, and I scrolled through my phone; to be honest I didn't have anything to say to either one of them because my position was known. Epic continued cutting into his chicken and I felt like he should start since he was the one who insisted on this meeting but of course, he wouldn't speak until he was ready and knowing him he was planning out every word carefully, picking and choosing which arguments he'd take up and which ones he'd ignore. Then there was Icon, I can honestly say I had no idea what would come out of his mouth because he has always been a wildcard and it could be any number of things from cussing us out to finally owning up to his shyt (highly unlikely). I looked around Epic's penthouse and noticed a bottle of liquor sitting on a cabinet in the living room, without waiting or invitation, I got up and walked over to the bottle with my glass in hand and poured me a healthy sized drink before returning to the table. Epic looked at me and Icon smirked as I tasted the expensive cognac and looked at my brothers.

"How long have you known Renee was back in town?" I asked wanting to break the ice since it was clear neither one of them was going to say anything. "She stopped by earlier and I told her we'd get some drinks later this week." I said smiling as they both tensed up, scary ass niggas.

"A few days.... she made it a point to stop by here as well, she also wants me to give her complete control of the westside, while also giving Icon and Qwantay the east.... of course, I won't do that so there's bound to be some blood in the coming weeks and months." Epic said and I looked at Icon who was still sitting there defiantly.

"Well I'm going to pray for y'all because as I've been trying to show y'all through my words and actions that I don't have a role in y'alls little games. I'm out, I'm about making money and staying out of drama; though y'all insist on dragging me into y'alls bullshyt... Wasn't just a few weeks ago that you shot at me at the corner store by mom and dad's house?" I asked Icon.

"If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead...." Icon said shrugging. "I just had to remind your ass that there will always be smoke between us, there will be no peace, no reconciliation, no apologies because I know what type of nigga I am and I don't try to hide it unlike the two of y'all." Icon said pointing his knife at me and Epic.

"And what exactly type of nigga am I?" I asked looking at Icon.

"You're the nigga who throws rocks and hides his hand, you float around this city like you live on a cloud, and pretend that you don't have as much blood on your hands as me and Epic. Let's not forget that you're the one who killed Uncle Rick.... let's not forget that during the shyt with the Lawson's you killed almost as many dudes as Epic, AND let's not forget that you're the one who had that nigga Terrence try to set me up." Icon said and I looked at him confused as fuck. "Here this nigga go again, pretending that he's above doing some shady shyt.... if you didn't have anything to do with me almost being killed please explain how the number that Terrence was texting came back to a number from the military base you were stationed?" Icon asked.

"I....." I said and this was the first I was hearing about it but IF it was true I had no problem looking into his allegations. "I had nothing to do with that, but if that where this hatred comes from I can say unequivocally that I would never put you at risk.... either one of y'all. Y'all know what I'm capable of, just like if you wanted to kill me, there's been plenty of times I could've killed y'all but I never took those chances because if y'all haven't noticed.... I don't give a fuck what y'all do just leave me the fuck out of it."

"Then there's you....." Icon said pointing to Epic. "You've been running around for YEARS accusing us of killing your wife and daughter, you've tried to kill me based on misinformation and lies spread by the niggas in your inner circle. You and this quest for power has continually put me, Legend, our parents, and most importantly MY SON at risk! Y'all wanna know why I never told y'all about Jordan? It's because I know Epic isn't above killing kids.... and it's because you are batshyt crazy.... there's no telling what you'd do." Icon said.
