“What are we going to do? Everything is falling apart,” Leena whispered.
The three women formed a small circle and put their arms around one another, creating a circle of power . . . street royalty. They were the queens who would inherit the throne.
“We do what we have to do. We take over The Cartel,” Miamor replied. “And the first thing on the agenda is to clear our names.” She turned sympathetically toward Breeze. “I know that Estes is your grandfather, but—”
Breeze put her hand up and interrupted. “Do what needs to be done. If he’s talking, it’ll be well deserved anyway. I’m numb to the death around by now. It doesn’t even matter.”
“Do you guys know what this means? We can’t just step in their shoes. I just sat back and spent the money. I’m not in the streets. I don’t know the first thing about running anything . . . I can’t do this,” Leena protested.
“You can and you will. For years we’ve sat back and watched the throne. It’s time we inherited it. It is our time now, ladies, and we either do this together or watch the entire Cartel fall. The vultures will pick everything our men established apart until there’s nothing left if we don’t assume our roles,” Miamor schooled. She knew the streets. She had come up in the trenches, and her murder game was official. There was nothing in her that was scared of this opportunity. She was reveling at the chance to continue Carter’s legacy.
“We have no muscle,” Breeze said.
“Some will stay loyal; others will test us. Niggas gonna learn a hard lesson when they buck, but they not knocking us off,” Miamor assured.
“First we memorialize our men. Give them a homegoing that the streets will never forget,” Leena whispered.
Breeze nodded and added, “Then the takeover begins.”
