Survival Of The Fittest

By Any Means

Cash: yo Brown, good-looking on helping me move into my new spot.

Brown: it's all good bro, how your brother doing?

Cash: who Roc?

Brown: last time I've checked, that's the only brother you got Cash.

Cash: man fuck Roc!

Brown: that's your brother, you sound crazy right now.

Cash: that nigga corny.

Brown: why he corny?

Cash: that nigga wants me to go to college, and that's not my lifestyle.

Brown: so your brother is corny because he wants you to better your life and go to school?

Cash: that school shit is not for me, Brown!

Brown: I feel you bro, but the streets isn't the wave man, there's only two outcomes when it comes to the streets, prison, and death.

Cash: and neither ain't in my future, ya dig?

Brown: yeah iight, that's what they all say.

Cash: I don't know what they all say, but I know what I'm saying.

Brown: heard you, but let me roll up outta here.

Cash: no doubt my nigga, but thanks again.

Brown: don't mention it.

Cash: iight peace.

Brown: peace.

   Cash let Brown out and went back to unpacking his stuff, in the midst of things, this chick named Alize he's been talking to gives him a call. They spoke for a brief moment and set up a situation for the night. Soon as Cash got off the phone with Alize, his friends Madd, Raven and Skyy paid him a visit.

Cash: what's good?

Raven: oh shit, this your new spot?

Cash: yeah, you like it?

Raven: it's dope, once you get everything situated.

Madd: I didn't think you had all this shit back at Roc's apartment.

Cash: can I help you niggas with something?

Skyy: you have plans for the night or something?

Cash: as a matter fact, I do, I got this baddie coming through later.

Raven: oh ok, but we need you for a lick.

Cash: when?

Raven: now.

Cash: now?

Raven: yeah nigga.

Cash: where at?

Raven: upstairs.

Cash: upstairs? What the fuck are you talking about, Raven?

Raven: there's a lot of money upstairs, Cash.

Cash: what floor?

Raven: 5th floor.

Cash: that's right on top of me, what the fuck?

Skyy: is that a problem?

Cash: yes, Skyy, I don't shit where I sleep.

Madd: you acting like a hoe right now, nigga! You know we in and out with these licks nigga!

Raven: nothing is gonna come back to you, nigga.

Cash: how many people live in that apartment?

Raven: I don't know, and it don't matter because they all going to eat a bullet.

Madd: facts!

Cash: iight let's move now cuz I got company coming over.

Raven: bet.

   The crew had grabbed their weapons and gear and made their way to the 5th floor to rob their target. Skyy pretending to sell Girl Scout cookies, knocks on the door, Fish looks through the peephole and notices Skyy dressed in a Girl Scout uniform, so he opens the door and gets forced back into the apartment by Cash, Madd and Raven. Raven got Fish on his knees begging for his life while Cash and Madd hit the bedroom and drags Fish's girlfriend Glenda to the living room where Fish is.

Raven: listen, make this easy on yourself and tell us where the money at, so we can be on our way.

Fish: what money?

Raven: (Laughing) what money? [hits Fish with the butt of her gun)

Glenda: (screaming)

Matt: bitch, shut the fuck up!

Raven: I'm only going to ask one last time, where the fuck is the money?

Fish: I don't know... (bleeding from the head)

Raven: okay, have it your way. (Shoots Fish in the head)

Glenda: (starts crying in silence)

Raven: now bitch, where's the money?

Glenda: in my closet... (crying)

Cash: the closet in the bedroom?

Glenda: yes...

Raven: go check it out.

Skyy: hey, what's your name?

Glenda: Glen-Glenda... [trembling]

Skyy: you want some cookies?

Glenda: no, thank you... [trembling]

Skyy: you sure? They're pretty good. [eating cookies]

Cash: we got it.

Raven: thank you for being honest, but you seen my girl's face so that means you gotta go.

Glenda: no-no-no wait! I swear I won't say anything!

Raven: girl bye. [shoots Glenda in the face, and stands over her, shooting her in the face two more times]

Madd: iight let's roll!

   After the lick, the crew assembled in Cash's new apartment to split the money. Once everyone left, Cash hops in the shower to get ready for Alize. Alize finally came by around 11pm with dinner she prepared for the both of them.

Cash: what you make for me?

Alize: I made steak with onions and rice.

Cash: oh word?

Alize: yup.

Cash: that's music to my stomach.

Alize: Cash, we have to get this apartment in order.

Cash: yeah I know, but I just officially moved in today, though.

Alize: is the bedroom setup?

Cash: just the bed, don't have my TV setup or anything.

Alize: I'll come by Saturday to help you.

Cash: bet.

Alize: I have a cousin that lives in this building.

Cash: oh word?

Alize: yes, he lives on the 5th floor.

Cash: what's his name?

Alize: Fish.
