Tears of a Hustler 2 (27 page)

“Fuck!” Shorty cursed as he searched for an escape, but it was no use. Him and his whole crew were boxed in.

“Out of nowhere, bullets just started flying from everywhere,” Eraser Head said, replaying the story.
“So where’s G-money now?” Pauleena asked with a concerned look on her face.
“I have no idea,” Eraser Head said with a hurt look on his face.
Pauleena quickly walked to the living room and turned the T.V. to the news.
“Breaking news: Gerald Williams, better known in the streets as G-money, was found dead tonight in a stolen car parked in an alley. Police are saying this murder is believed to be drug related. Also, tonight several men who worked for Williams were caught hours later with loaded fire arms. Police say Williams and his crew were at war with another crew over territory. We’ll have more details as this story develops,” the reporter said.
“Fuck!” Eraser Head cursed as the tears silently rolled down his eyes.
“Where the fuck were you when this happened?” Pauleena yelled, getting all up in Eraser Head’s face as tears rolled down her face.
“I was chasing one of the niggaz who shot him,”he told her as she burried her head in Eraser Head’s chest.
“Don’t worry. We gonna find the niggas who did this,” Roy said, “just fucked up that most of the soldiers just got knocked.” (locked up)
“I told Shorty to wait until he heard from me to make a move,” Eraser Head raved. “Motherfuckers don’t never listen!”
“Ahww hell naw,” Knowledge said in a defeated tone as he watched the news from his living room in Philly. “Why all the bad shit gotta happen to the real niggaz?” He askedhimself as he shook his head in disgust. At times like this, Knowledge wished he was still in the game. Deep down inside, he felt that if he was with G-money when it went down, he would still be alive.

“Damn that shit is crazy,” Marvin said, shaking his head as he and his crew sat listening to the reporter.
“At least he had a couple of years to enjoy all that money he made,” Smitty said, looking on with the rest of the crew. “So what’s next?”
“We gonna take over all of G-money’s old spots and get it poppin,” Marvin said with a smirk on his face.
“What about Pauleena?” Smitty asked.
“Fuck that bitch! Either she runs with us, or get ran the fuck over,” Marvin answered.
“That’s what I’m talking about,” Moonie said excitedly. “It’s about time. I never liked that bitch anyway. What have she done to deserve her spot? She probably won’t even bang out for her shit!”
“Well we definitely about to find out,” Marvin said out loud as he turned off the T.V.
