Hate the Player and the Game

chapter 16

"Yeah, he did". Calli said.

"I trusted Slick at one point of time.......I even tried doing business with him". Gay Tony said flipping no hair out of his face. "That was until I found out that he was stealing from me the whole entire time?". Gay Tony sipped on his drink some more and examined his finger nails as he talked. "It all started in '87. We were supposidley partners. I made lots of moves back then. My business had me fanning my self with hundred dollar bills.....how I miss those days".

"And". Uncle Ronnie said impatiently.

"I found out that Slick had been stealing twenty percent of my profit for the past seven years. I also just found out a few weeks ago that he has a stash of my money in Harlem".

"Wait! That's wrong". Calli said angrily. "His nigga Lawney told me that the money in Harlem was my forty thousand".

"Well, it must've been a mix up then". Gay Tony said percing his lips.

"He got stashes hidden all over New York. I forced that nigga Lawney to tell me everything. We even gave them a little warning......we rode past them niggas and lit em' up". Calli said.

"So that means that we have to rade all of them stashes". Gay Tony said rolling his neck "Leave him with nothing".

"Whatchu mean we"? Calli asked.

"Look California, I called you over here to partner up with you. I figured since Slick did you dirty then we could team up......you know"?

"Naaa see". Calli said walking up to Gay Tony's desk, putting his hands down, and leaning on it. "It ain't even like that. Look Tony, I don't know you yet, I don't trust you yet so don't be askin' busta's like me to team up with yo fagot ass until you know what they're about. You feel me"?

"California may I remind you that you are forgetting that I have been in this business way longer than you. Your new to the game baby so I would like to ask who you were just talking to"? Calli just stood there leaning on Gay Tony's desk.

"You may have been in the game longer, but.............I'm smarter. I think of it like a chess game, you think of it like a walk in the park. It ain't that simple Tony"!

"I guess not, but California quite frankly I haven't got all night and nor do we have the time so you need to make a decision now".

"I have made a decision, but before I proclaim it...........I wanna talk business".

"You want to talk business? Okay, let's talk. What do you want to know"?

"After we hit up Slick's spots................how we gon' split this money up"?

"I decided on sixty-forty".

"WHAT! I only get forty percent? Oh hell no"! Calli yelled.

"California, think of it this way. Slick had been stealing twenty percent of my money for the past seven years. He only stole forty thousand dollars from you. Majority of that money is mine anyway, plus theres thousands of dollars we're talking about here".

"Tony......that's bullshit"! Calli said pulling a gun from the front of his pants and aiming it at Gay Tony.

"Oh........so you want to go there. I don't think you want to do that". Gay Tony said snapping his fingers. Just then, men with guns from everywhere started flooding from opened doors, and hallways. They surrounded us with Ak's and glocks in their hands aiming them at us. It had to be about fifty guys surrounding us in that pent house. Calli looked around unintimidated. "Calli, do you really want to challenge me"? Gay Tony asked. "This is a great deal.......take it or leave it". I watched as Calli slowly put his gun back in his pants and calmed down.
