When It Works

No Match

Zac drove to the warehouse which seemed to be longer than normal. His mind was on lil meech and how no one noticed, or suspected it was going on. Stasha didn't seem like the type to do any of the things they had recently exposed. How long has this been goin on why didn't he say anything. He couldn't help but think of Keisha hadn't killed Stasha she could've seriously hurt him. He couldn't imagine bringing harm to any kid let alone ones he contributed giving life to. The guys talked as Zac went over many things in his head. He wasn't spaced out he was prioritizing everything in importance. There were so many things he needed to deal with some alone and some as a family. One thing at the top of his list was getting Fatima away to relax for a week, he felt it's been a while since it's just been them and he missed it.

"Yo Zac! Yo!!!" Troy said loudly getting his attention

"Wassup nigga why the fuck you yelling"

"You been zoned out. You ain't hear yo phone ringing? Tima called

"Naw my bad man got some shit on my mind"

"You good? Call her back you know how she is"

"Yea I'm straight and bet ima hit her back now"

Zac called Fatima they spoke what seemed to be in code to the people around them. As they hung up Zac pulled into the warehouse and got out he saw Brunson and Rainer in an unusual car. Zac walked toward the gate of the and hung the lock before turning around Zac spotted another Car pulling up and parking behind some bushes he let out a sigh and shook his head. Murdock saw the car from a distance and nodded at Zac. Brunson and Rainer exited their car and followed behind Troy Dre and Marcus while Zac and Murdock walked behind them. Once inside Zac closed the door and sat inside the cage which made the detectives nervous. They followed because they knew if they didn't things would be worse than they already are. Zac never said a word until Demetrius returned with a duffle bag and a tote.

"What's this about Zac?" Brunson asked. Zac didn't respond he kept scrolling through his phone

"Hhhheeeeyyyy Zac my man. Tell us what's going on. Why the meeting?" Rainer asked nervously. Slowly looking up Zac thought before he spoke.

"Remember our first meeting gentleman?" Zac asked. They both nodded yes

"And what did I say would happen if you betrayed me"

"Whaaaaa- we haven't done that"

"WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY???" Zac said yelling and standing to his feet. His voice echoed through the room and shook everyone in it. It was rare he yelled and he was aware of threats. This agitation was knew to his family so they knew something else was bothering him. It was and everyone would soon find out. While Zac talked to the detectives Demetrius and Marcus continued to hook the chains up and removed the tools from both the duffel bag and tote.

"You uummm you said you'd kill us yourself"

"Right, so you must not have believed me. I'm some sort of Joke to you right?" Zac asked now in Rainers face

"No hell naw! Absolutely not" he responded

"So which one of you had the bright idea to give Theresa Fatima's phone number and where she worked?" The question made it clear why Zac was so on edge. He can deal with threats coming at him but Fatima was off limits. Although she has proven to be able to handle her own. Rainer and Brunson should've known better than to involve Fatima in whatever plan they thought they had. The detectives looked at one another as if the silence would make the outcome any different.

"Don't all speak at once motherfuckers" Troy said hitting Brunson in the jaw

"It was his. He told her" Rainer said pointing at Brunson before Troy could throw another punch this time his way

"Boy you's a bitch snitchin on yo brother"  Dre said shaking his head. Everyone stare at the two as they bickered and began to expose everything.

"Theresa came and offered us lump of cash plus 15% more every month than what you pay"

"Keep talking" Zac said intrigued

"She told us that if we could somehow get her Fatima it would break you and it'd be easier to take over the spot"

"I see" Zac says as he takes a seat

"Once you were stabbed and Fatima went to meet Max, she was sure that the women wouldn't make it out alive. Much to her surprise when the door opened and all four women walked out with not so much as a crooked blouse"  The guys all laughed at how much Theresa underestimated Fatima and the rest of the girls.

"You've been around about a year and you didn't warn her?" Marcus asked

"I tried to tell her Fatima was a force, she insisted her men were better, stronger and better shooters"

"Bitch was just as slow as her brother and sister I see" Demetrius said

"Nigga she was just yo wife" Marcus laughed

"My dumb wife! Whole damn Family ain't made good decisions"

Zac had heard enough.

"So it was you? You gave Tima up? Gimmie yo gun detective" Zac said to Rainer. Rainer removed his pistol from the holster and handed it to Zac

"Y'all know what to do with him. Keep him alive. Follow me nigga." Zac said to Brunson as they walked out the cage and exited the warehouse. They heard the fading cries of Rainer. Zac lead them to the car they got out of. Zac walked to the passenger side because that's where he saw Rainer exit fans climbed in. As he closed the door Brunson closed his with a smug look on his face and then a slight smirk. I'm the back seat Zac heard the cock of a weapon and a woman's voice.

"Not how you expected this to go is it? Theresa asked pressing the gun into the back of Zac's head. While Brunson drew his and pointed it at Zac.  Zac smiled and leaned back a little and spoke

"Precisely" in a condescending tone. The back driver side door opened and Fatima slid in smiling.

"Aaaawwww you guys started the party without me" She said sarcastically

Theresa slowly turned to Fatima and Brunson quickly dropped his weapon causing it to discharge just missing Zac and shattering the window. Not quite the way he wanted it to happen but it gave him a reason to send two shots to Brunson hitting him in the throat and one directly through the nose. Theresa jumped at the sight while Fatima never blinked or took her eyes off . Visibly perturbed Fatima giggled.

"Come on let's go in here and join your Boyfriend"

"Fatima how you know these people fuckin"

"Baby don't I know everything"

"I knew yo ass was coming"

"How was that?"

"I never said one piece. But that was my way of telling you I needed you without saying it" Zac and Fatima had a full blown conversation yet again while someone was dead and the other feared for their life.

"I know, now let's go. It's movie night"

Just as they were entering the warehouse Rainer dropped a major bombshell........
