Rich cursed himself. Already his lie was falling apart, he tried to regain himself “I..I..don’t know, maybe she was in a rush, I only went in my bathroom to piss, and when I came out she had a gun pointed at me. She prolly took some cash, but I never even counted any of it” he stared at Ace hoping he believed him
“Look man I just brought this money here so I could get my aunt back, I don’t want no parts of this shit. I haven’t had a clue about what was going on all day. Yea I fucked up when I got in that car with her, but I had no idea what the fuck was going on. Yall gotta feel that. You seen the girl before, she said come on, so I came” Rich pleaded
A few of the guys chuckled at Rich’s assessment of his actions. They had all seen Chilli when she was working as a bartender and her few weeks as one of Gus’s girl. They all knew how good she looked and couldn’t blame the guy for wanting to run off with a girl like that. Any one of them would have done the exact same thing if they were in his shoes.
Feeling like he might be winning some of the guys over he continued “Yea man it was stupid, I know, but I guess I was just thinking with my dick. I ain’t have shit to do with Mikey earlier, and I was just going to check in with my aunt to let her know I was leaving town for a while, when I found out yall had her. After that I was like fuck it, game over, bring the money back. Yea shorty was bad, but it ain’t worth my aunt’s life, so I brought it back. I woulda brought her back too, but she dipped on me, That’s truth I swear”
“Enough to put your life on it?” Another voice said as everyone turned to see Gus walk into the lounge area with Rich’s aunt Tammy by her arm. “Maybe you’ll put your Aunt’s life on that story” He said as he flung her towards Rich. She tripped on the way over and Rich stood up to grab her, as they both fell back into the couch. She turned and looked at Gus with more anger in her eyes than fear. She never trusted Gus even when he used to run with her little brother. She didn’t know everything that was going on but she got the jest of it and was very pissed.
“Okay Gus, so fucking what? Rich had a little girlfriend take a couple dollars from you so they could run away! It ain’t like you ain’t take the money from Ronnie to begin with!!” Tammy said very matter of factly
”Everybody know you kept allllll the money from that bank robbery Gus. Ronnie and his family…which is me and these boys…never got a cut of it. You got the audacity to get mad cuz they took a little of it back??” Aunt Tammy was furious with Gus. She knew the game her brother played. But even then there were things like loyalty. She knew Gus had no concept of the word
“That’s who you work for guys!! You make money with Gus, and you go to jail, instead of taking care of your family he gets you killed so he can keep all the money to himself!! Oh you think I didn’t know?? I been knew what you were all about, I just never said shit cuz I ain’t wanna see any of my boys go out the same way Ronnie did. But I always knew you were a dirty piece of shit”
Rich looked at his Aunt Tammy and then at Gus. The room was eerily quiet as some of the guys in the room were hearing all about this for the first time. Rich tried to put as much together as he could, but he still couldn’t. It was Ace to speak up first
“So that’s why that little nigga kept coming by here day after day?” He said looking at Gus
“You had his daddy killed and he thought he was gonna get revenge?” Ace started laughing
“Got Damn Gus, you a cold motherfucker, so what you think the little nigga gonna do now? You know he gotta be on his way here now that you got his aunt and cousin”
“Wait Mikey’s still alive?” Rich asked. Aunt Tammy looked at him confused “ Of course he’s alive, why you think that nigga got us both here? He really think holding us will keep Mikey from getting his hands on him. “ Tammy turned her attention to Gus “Trust me baby, ain’t a force on this planet that will keep that boy from getting his hands on you. You earned every bit of hell he gonna bring to you the second you had his daddy killed”
Gus finally tired of hearing Tammy’s spunk. He stood over her menacingly. Rich tried to get in between the two, but was met with a crushging hit from the pistol in Ace’s hand.
He then was punched very hard in the stomach by Gus himself.
“Oh so you do got some balls?” Gus said “hold him up” He ordered his guys
“Leave him the fuck alone Gus” Tammy shouted, as Gus finally gave her the back hand smack he had originally been gunning for.
At the sound of his Aunt being smacked, Rich dove towards Gus with everything he had knocking the two over a couch one of Gus’s thugs were sitting on…
“Ooohhh shit! “ Ace excitedly yelled “ Naw yo let them niggaz rock I wanna see how this goes” he told the rest of the guys as they all anxiously formed a circle around the two men exchanging blows on the ground.
The big man Ty that had patted Rich down when he first came in was holding back Aunt Tammy while everyone else was watching Rich and Gus fight each other.
Rich had just about every disadvantage in a fight possible. He didn’t have as much reach, power, or experience as Gus when it came to fighting. But he did have the speed of his youth, and tons of rage being built up. He swung as hard as he could at Gus when they finally both made it to their feet, and Gus easily side stepped him before delivering a vicious right hook to Rich’s body. The punch sent Rich back to the ground as Gus took off his jacket.
Rich made it back to his feet and put his hands back up. Gus jabbed at Rich a few times. Gus was smiling as Rich was trying to maneuver but caught more punches with his face than he slipped.
Gus threw a wild haymaker with his right hand that Rich was able to dodge and counter with an over hand right of his own. The pop that the punch landed caused all the guys watching to all shout in amusement at seeing their boss hit with a clean punch to the face.
The clean punch even surprised Rich who took just a few seconds too long to appreciate his work. This allowed Gus to deliver a thundering left hook to Rich’s Jaw that sent him to the ground again. This punch was too much for Rich. He felt two of his teeth moving very loosely in his mouth. He pushed his tounge against the one tooth, and felt it come loose.
He spit the tooth out of his mouth, and made his way back to his feet. Rich was able to keep his hands up, but his legs weren’t trying to cooperate. He felt like he was stepping in pot holes. He didn’t know where the ground was under him but with each step he tried to find it.
Gus then started peppering him with jabs and cross punches. He was mixing it up going low and high hitting Rich with everything he wanted to as the boy tried to fight back, but was too out of it to muster any type of attack. Rich was also too stubborn to quit. Rich knew this was likely the end and he wanted to go out on his sword. He had no idea where he was at anymore, but he tried his best to get it together. It was the kind of one-sided beating that causes men to shout, root wildly and almost primitively.
“Look man I just brought this money here so I could get my aunt back, I don’t want no parts of this shit. I haven’t had a clue about what was going on all day.
