I took a hit off my blunt, feeling its sweet smoke fill my lungs. Nubian, the one I hired to help with the job, got too close and started unbuckling my belt. "Nubian, I invited you here to do your job, not try and get in my pants and shit," I stressed as I pushed her away. "Who says we can't have a little fun while we work?" She licked her lips and looked up at me coyly. I shook my head, "Not right now. Let me smoke in peace." As she sucked her teeth and walked out of the room, I pulled out my phone to text Heaven, but she didn't reply right away.
I sat back, smoking and letting my mind wander to the problem at hand: the Chinese gang that ripped me and my brother off. Dealing with them was my main priority, but I also needed to clean house with my own crew.
I exhaled slowly, feeling the smoke escape through my lips like a dragon's breath.
A sharp knock at the door made me swivel around, and BIG strolled in. His lip curled in a smirk as he shook his head. "I just saw Nu comin' out of here—you two still playin' house?"
I extinguished the remains of my blunt in the ashtray and scooped up the photos scattered out on the table. "Chen and Bai were both at the meeting with Ken Fowk and his friend. So they're our targets." I waved them in the air for emphasis.
