Chapter 23: Wingman

Start from the beginning
                                    

“Some enlightenment.”

“From who?” Marcus asked him.

“Quise. ” Sean told him.

Marcus bubbled over with anger. He couldn't stand the thought of Quise. He just wouldn't accept that Athena has a new boyfriend and that she's happy. Plus Quise was always trying to fight him. “Fuck you was talking to him for?”

“Nigga what? Am I wit' you or something? Nah but just because you got something with him don't mean I do too. You know I'm friends with everybody. ” Sean told him.

Marcus sighed. Everything that he was saying was true. Sean was friendly to everyone and never got into it with anyone. Even though Sean was a bigger hoe than him, no one hated him. “Well just know I'm yo wingman on that but what else he say?”

“His girl pregnant.”he confessed. By now they were sitting on a bench outside.

Marcus' eyes bulged out of his head. “Who his girl?”

“Melissa. They been together for a couple weeks now.”

“Damn.. Thena gone be mad.”he said. Marcus didn't know what else to say about the subject so he changed it. He still was worried about getting shot again so he asked Sean to look into it. “You get any info bout the shooter? ”

Sean shook his head no. He had been asking a few of his boys on streets and they knew nothing about it. “Nah but I know somebody who got a lot of people working for him. ”

“Who Mark? ”

“Yeah. How you know him? ” Sean asked in shock.

“Man everybody know Mark!” he laughed, “You wanna go meet him right now?”

Sean looked at the school building. He had two test today and he didn't want to take them at all. “Yeah I'm cool with that.”

They walked back to Marcus' Benz. They got inside and started driving towards Mark's house. It was 30 minutes away and Sean fell asleep on the way.

Marcus shook him awake. “Let's go nigga.” Sean got up and walked to the front door with him. They knocked and Mark came to the door. “Sup Mark. ”

Mark shook his hand and looked at Sean. “Wassup Marcus. Yo daddy still owe me some money. ” he laughed.

“I'll just sign a check.” he chuckled.

“Nah I like my money in cash and upfront. Just tell him I want my money. Don't want nothing to happen to you.”

Marcus laughed. He thought Mark was just playing with him, but he was so serious. There was no telling what Mark would do for his money. Sean felt that but kept quiet.

They walked to the couch and sat down. Mark picked up his blunt from the table and started smoking. “So what bring y'all here?”

“So um.. a couple weeks ago me and my girl was out on a date, and then it was a drive by. I was just wondering if you know anything bout it. ” Marcus told him.

“Dang I used to love going on dates as a teenager. Now all I do is just mess around. ” Mark laughed.

Sean and Marcus looked at each other. “Can you just answer the question? ”

“Dang why y'all teenagers so impatient! I would of got my ass beat back in my day.”

Sean stood up.“I'm bout to go to the bathroom. ”

“Okay. It's the third door on the left.” Sean walked away. Mark and Marcus sat staring at each other. Marcus was getting angrier and angrier by this man by the second. He knew he knew something because he kept dodging his questions.

“Can you just answer my question! ” Marcus yelled.

Mark's mood changed. His warm smile turned serious and cold. “Now listen here little nigga. I'll kill yo ass myself if you ever talk to me like that again. I ain't telling yo ass shit till I get my money from yo daddy.”

Marcus groaned and stood up. “Fuck you.” he mumbled. He walked out the door and back to his car. He texted Sean that he was leaving and soon Sean came outside.
