Michael Stevenson
"Mikell, you hungry?" I asked my son.
He nodded his head yes.
"Aight, Daddy cooked some fire shrimp alfredo." I turned the burner off to let the food cool. "Your brothers still sleep?"
"Yes," he responded to me.
"Alright lil man.. We going to eat first then get ready to go see Mommy."
Kaelynn accepted the job and we found her an apartment that she liked. During the week she was in San Antonio and on the weekend, she was here in Carson. Every other week, she was off, but other than that I only saw her on the weekends.
This weekend I was taking the boys to San Antonio with Kaelynn because me and my team were finally going to the DR.
Once the shrimp alfredo cooled down, I fixed Mikell some in a little bowl. I figured he would eat it with his hands, so I didn't even bother to get a fork.
I put the bowl under a clean blanket on the living floor in front of the tv and let him sit there.
Caeden and Isaiah were 3 months and they were big as ever. Both of them were still sleep.
I fixed myself a bowl of alfredo and sat down on the couch to eat. Kaelynn called and I answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe," She sounded like she had just gotten up.
"Goodmorning."
"Morning. Everybody up?"
"The twins still sleeping, but Kell up." I fed my face.
"What time are you leaving the house?"
"Our flight is at 10, it'll be two hours."
"Well, it's already 10 over here. Call me when you get here."
"Aight, I will baby."
"K, I love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye."
I ended the call and continued to eat my food. After I was done, I got Mikell cleaned up and dressed.
I put him in the room with me while I got Caeden and Isaiah clean and dressed and fed them.
I dressed like I felt: tired. I had on a pair of black baggy sweats, a red tshirt that had Run DMC across it, and a pair of black and red Breds.
After all, I was raising three boys all by myself, basically. Of course I was tired.
I got their bags packed full of clothes, toys, and food. I was leaving sooner than I thought I would.
I put two backpacks on my shoulder and put my keys in Caeden's car seat.
"Aye 'Kell, get yo bag and let's go."
He followed my instructions and with that, I was out of the house into the garage. I put Caeden and Isaiah in the Escalade first, then put Mikell in. I got the keys and got inside of the truck.
I started it up and backed out of the garage making sure it closed before I left.
On the highway, I made another call, but to Trell this time.
"Yo, Trelly!"
"What's good son?" he greeted me.
"On my way to San Antonio, finna drop the kids off with Kaelynn."
"Word? You just now leaving?"
"Yeah mane, but I'll be back in a couple of hours."
"Our jet schedule to leave at 6 tonight."
"Aight, I'll be ready."
"Tell Kae I said wassup."
"Okay fam, I'll talk to you later."
I hung up and focused on the road.
I made sure my boys were safe and secure in their seat on the plane before I got situated.
When I got to San Antonio, I called Kaelynn.
"Hello?"
"I just made it to San Antonio."
"Alright, I'm on my way. Give me 10 minutes," I could tell she was smiling.
"Okay baby," I laughed.
I ended the call and sat down in the airport to wait on Kaelynn.
"Mommy?" Mikell asked.
"She coming son. Mommy is slow, that's all." I laughed.
"Baby?" He pointed at Caeden.
"He sleep, something you need to be doing."
He smiled,"Brother!"
"You got two brothers. Hold up two fingers."
He held up two fingers.
"When somebody ask you how many brothers you got what you gone do?"
He held up two fingers again.
"Awh, I miss my boys!" Kaelynn bent down and picked up Mikell.
"Damn, we you get here?" I laughed.
"A minute ago," she smiled. "Gimme a kiss 'Kell."
He kissed her cheek. She put him down and hugged me. I grabbed her ass and kissed her lips.
"Damn, I miss you." I let her go.
"I miss you too Michael," she smiled.
She put Mikell down and kissed the twins.
"Mommy misses her boys," she cooed.
"They miss you too," I laughed. "Come on, let's get out of here."
She laughed and grabbed the boys' backpacks and I carried Caeden and Isaiah's car seats. Mikell walked beside Kaelynn.
We walked out to Kaelynn's car and got in.
"So, what you been doing? You made any friends?"
"I have actually," she started,"I hang with this chick named Cecily and a couple of her friends. We ain't tight though." She started the car up and pulled out of the parking lot.
"You missing Heather and Teyana?"
"I'm missing everybody. Hopefully, I'll get a break and go back to LA."
"Yeah hopefully, 'cause I'm tired of paying for plane tickets."
"Cheap ass," she laughed.
"What else you been doing?"
"Nothing at all baby, I'm either at work, the apartment, or I'm with Cecily 'nem," she shrugged.
"Sounds boring."
"Yeah, it's pretty boring when you can't be with your fiancé and children everyday from a long and stressful day from work. So, I eat and watch tv or sleep," she responded sarcastically.
"I told you, we'll try to work something out."
"It's only been four weeks, and I'm missing y'all like hell," she whined.
I looked around her car and noticed a pack of cigarettes.
"You smoking these?" I held them up.
"Nah, they someone else's."
"You sure?"
"Yeah.."
We finally made it to her apartment complex, Oakstone. She pulled around to her building and parked.
"Which one is it?"
"It's 586.."
She killed the engine and got out the car.
"You might as well, leave the car seats in here because we coming right back out." I suggested.
"Yeah, you right."
She got Caeden and his backpack out the car and unlocked the apartment door.
I picked up Isaiah and grabbed his bag and Mikell's bag.
"Come on 'Kell, go follow Mama." I helped him out the car.
When we got inside, I closed the door and went into Kaelynn's bedroom.
She put all of their stuff on the floor beside her dresser.
"Alright, so tell me what y'all gone be doing for the next few days?" Kaelynn rocked Caeden back and forth.
"Making money baby," I answered.
"I wanna know how."
"When we get to the DR tonight, we just gone chill, and tomorrow morning we suppose to be talking with these niggas we ain't never met before. Afterwards, we get our money."
"How are y'all getting this money?"
"They're giving it to us."
"Why?"
"Because we have some special merchandise that they want to buy," I answered.
"Anddddd, why they can't get it from nowhere else?"
"Ain't nobody else got it, but us."
"Anyways, so... y'all just going to exchange?"
"I wish it was that easy ma, but it ain't."
"Well promise me you'll be safe."
"I promise."
"Kelly Kell! I miss you!" she teased him.
He held up two fingers. I began laughing.
"Why you holding up two fingers?" she asked.
"I told him to hold up two fingers when somebody ask how many brothers he got."
"You might be having another one." She smiled.
"What?"
"I'm just kidding."
"I was finna say, hell naw," I joked.
"You couldn't have stopped me," she rolled her eyes.
"What, you must want another one?"
"I might," she raised an eyebrow.
I laughed and shook my head, "No more until next year."
"Well baby I really hope that you be careful out there in the DR. I want you to come home soon babe."
"I will, don't be worrying about me. I'll be back soon, aight?" I assured her.
"Yeah, okay. You know how I am."
"You ready to take me back to the airport?"
"Yeah, let's go," she sighed.
"Aight, I'll call you when I get there. If I don't forget."
"Please don't forget."
"I won't, calm down. I love you." I kissed her lips.
"Babe, you're scaring me," she had a worried look on her face.
"Kaelynn, what's the worse that can happen?"
"I don't know, you getting killed Michael!"
"I'm not about to get killed, okay?"
"Alright, just go. I love you."
"I love you too," I kissed her forehead.
Once I got out the car, I walked inside the airport to buy a ticket back to Los Angeles.
When I made it back to LA, I called up everybody so we could meet up at the warehouse at 6.
I showered when I got home and put on a black and white Calvin Klein casual suit paired with a pair of black Stacey Adams Loafers.
I packed a couple more suits and loafers in the zip-up bag. I finished packing all my essentials and guns in two separate duffle bags. I locked up the house and with that, I was out.
I got in the truck and started the engine up. I made my way out of the driveway and onto the highway.
It didn't take long to get to Compton, but when I got there, a couple people were already there.
I left my things inside the car and went inside.
"Wassup man?" Caleb greeted me.
"What's good?" I responded.
I looked around to see who was all there and I saw Caleb, Quan, Scruggs, and Trell. We were missing Big O and KJ. It wasn't 6 yet, so it was no big deal.
Just like me, Caleb, Scruggs, and Trell had on a suit. We had to look professional as possible.
"Aight, so tell me what's going on when we leave?" I asked Quan.
"We staying here tonight until 12. We gotta get back here at 7 in the morning. Check everything out, repeat. And if anybody comes here we need to ask what the fuck they want. We can bust a couple of heads wide open if we need too. Keep the place clean and spotless. Show no evidence."
"That's my boy," I nodded.
"Aye, I trained them very well," Caleb blurted out.
"Yeah mane, you did," I laughed.
"Aye, I told you to have the merchandise at a certain spot," Trell came out of the stockroom on the phone. "4378 Derus road, leave it right there," he sat down at the table. "Alright, thank you."
"Who was that?" I asked.
"The delivery men. They stay fucking up whenever we got shit to transport."
"Yeah, that's true. They gone get it over there though."
The door opened and in walked Big O and KJ. My nigga Big O got flashy on hoes. He had on the black and white suit too.
"What's good?" KJ shook my hand.
"What's up? You ready?"
"Yeah mane, we got this," he smiled.
"Aight, I'm just making sure son."
Everyone got loaded up. Trell, Caleb and I were riding together and Big O and Scruggs were going to ride together.
"Okay, y'all hold shit down for us, ya hear me?" I told KJ and Quan. "I trust y'all now."
"Yes sir Cap." Quan was trying to be funny.
"Aye, don't make me bust a cap in ya ass 'fore I leave."
Big O pulled off and I was right behind him.
"Where Kaelynn at?"
"Caleb, you know she took that job offer in Texas."
"Shit, you right."
I chuckled,"Yeah man, she got an apartment down there."
"She must not be working Monday through Wednesday?" Trell looked up at me.
"Nah, she off."
"Anymore kids in the future?" Caleb joked around.
"Hell fucking naw." I laughed.
"Why not?"
"As long as she down there in Texas and I'm way up here, it ain't happenin'."
We made it to the airport and we had to pick up our tickets at the front desk.
"Name?" The lady asked.
"Michael Stevenson."
"Okay, I need to see your drivers license."
I opened my wallet and pulled it out, handing it to her.
She looked at it and then gave it back. "Alright Mr. Stevenson, here's your plane tickets. Your plane boards in 15 minutes."
"Thank you."
"We meeting them tonight or tomorrow?"
"It's gone be tomorrow morning," I answered Scruggs.
We were sitting beside each other on the plane. He was a really cool dude, I didn't know why he chose to do go down the path I was going through, but I couldn't change his mind for him. Instead, I took him in and took care of him.
"How old you is now boy?"
"I'm 18."
"Why you wanted to join my team? It's a lot of shit you could have done that I didn't have the option to do."
"What you mean?"
"You could have went to college or anything."
"Nah man, college ain't for me," he shook his head. "I like this way better, it's fast money."
"You right, it is fast money, but you gotta be smart to get this fast money. We living the fast life, but sooner or later I gotta slow down before I crash."
"Why you say that?"
"I got kids man, I got a fiancé, we ain't married yet. I don't want my boys to be around this shit. When you do the shit that I do, people want revenge on you, and that's the first thing they go after is your family," I shook my head. "It's really hard out here, but I gotta do what I gotta do, feel me?"
He nodded,"Yeah, I feel you."
6 and a half hours later, we were off the plane and in the Santa Domingo airport. Big O was taking care of the rental truck.
Once that was cleared, we all packed into one truck and was off to our hotel. When we got there, I checked in and we got our keys.
"Aye, don't lose these." I handed everybody one.
We went up to the room and got settled in. I checked the time. It was 12:45 a.m in California and 4:45 a.m in Santa Domingo.
"Aight fellas, we gotta go. We got to be at their warehouse at 5."
I put a Desert Eagle Mk XiX Hand-Canon in my pants.
After everyone was suited up and ready to go, we walked out of the hotel and got into the truck.
Trell decided to drive. The warehouse was about 10 minutes away from the hotel.
It looked run down on the outside, but we ain't care. We all got out and walked up to the door. I knocked.
"Who there?"
"Tyga."
"Tyga who?"
"Tyga from the west coast. Compton."
The door opened and revealed a tall guy. He had a dark ass tan, darker than mine.
"Wassup? I'm Ghost." He let us in.
"I'm Tyga. This is Trell, Scruggs, and Big O." We shook hands with him.
"Glad to finally see y'all."
"Glad to finally be here," Trell said.
"Alright, so I wanna check the merchandise out, but I know y'all probably tired, so we can do that around 7 tonight."
"Yeah. So, how much money we talking?"
"200 mill."
"Aight, so tonight, we meeting here?"
"Yeah, if that's what you wanna do." I watched his every move.
"No problem."
I knew about these niggas, they were some sneaky ass people. I was definitely going to keep my guard up.
"Alright, see you later on." He shook my hand again.
We all walked out and got back into the truck.
"That nigga had some type of sneaky ass look on his face, I don't trust it."
"We can still get this money and get the fuck up outta here." Trell explained.
"Aight then," I agreed to go through with the deal.
Before going back to the hotel we stopped at 4378 Derus road. The box of our merchandise was there. Scruggs got out the car and picked the box up and put it in the trunk.
30 lbs of good 'ole PCP pills. We made it back to the hotel and as soon as I got there, I was slumped.
"Aye man, wake up," I felt a hand push my shoulder.
"I'm up," My eyes were still closed.
"Come on, nigga..."
I opened my eyes and saw Trell standing in front of me.
"Nigga, it's 4 o'clock."
I sat up on the couch and rubbed my face,"Damn man, I'm tired as fuck."
"You need to get dressed nigga, we need to talk about this."
I stood up and pulled out one of my suits out of the zip-up bag. I went into the bathroom, and took a quick shower. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. After getting dressed, I went into the front room with everybody else.
"Aight, so, everybody need to make sure they loaded up," I started. "Make sure you watch these niggas every move."
"And if you shoot, we all shooting," Trell added.
"That's right."
"Alright, let's go!" Big O clapped.
We left the hotel and got into the truck. I drove this time. It was complete silence, like always, because everybody was so focused on their mission.
I pulled up to the warehouse and before we got out, we geared up.
I knocked on the door. The door opened and it was Ghost.
"Wassup?"
He let us in, Scruggs was carrying the box.
There were about 6 other dudes in the warehouse, along with Ghost.
"This is Tyga fellas..."
I nodded.
"Alright, we got the money for you. The pills in this box?"
"Yeah," Scruggs nodded.
"We can have a seat." He led us to the table where all the other men were.
Scruggs put the box on the table. Ghost looked through it. I looked around the place while he was doing that.
"This 30 pounds?"
"Yep, in the flesh."
He chuckled,"Scar, count out the money for Mr. Tyga here."
I paid close attention to him counting the money.
"200 million," he smirked.
"You might to recount that. I only saw 15 million."
"I know how to count money."
"And I do too, dammit. 200 million or no deal." I looked at Ghost.
"Well, I guess there's no deal," he shrugged.
"I guess not." I stood up. "I'll be taking my merchandise back."
He pulled a gun out. I'm guessing it was suppose to scare me.
"Take the deal, or you can just die. You pick cause I really don't care." He aimed the gun at my head.
"Go ahead and shoot me then."
He held the cold gun at my temple.
I looked around at my crew, they were ready for war. I looked over at Ghost's crew, only four of them had their gun out.
I heard multiple gun shots. I knocked Ghost's gun out of his hand and pulled mine out.
Scruggs shot one nigga and Trell shot a nigga.
I aimed the gun at Ghost,"You give me my fucking money, or you die."
Shots kept aiming from all around the warehouse. They finished the rest of them dudes off and I put a bullet through Ghost's head.
"Get them pills and those duffle bags!" I ordered.
I walked around to the vault I had seen from earlier.
"Scruggs, bring me one duffle bag."
He ran over to me. I opened the vault and there was a bunch of banded up money. We emptied the vault, putting the money in the bag.
I walked around the warehouse and looked around. There was nothing else that caught my attention.
We left and I sped back to the hotel.
"Aye, get ready so we can go."
We got all our shit together and by the time we were getting ready to leave, a bullet went right through the door.
"Get down."
"Shit!"
It sounded like a shot gun, something that could possibly kill us.
The shots kept coming from outside of the door.
"Aye, go to the bedroom." I pushed everybody.
My adrenaline was flowing and I was angry as fuck.
We closed the bedroom door and pushed the beds up on the door. It got quiet for a minute, and then I started hearing the gunshots again.
I took my pistol and went out into the hallway from the balcony. I shot the man that was there with a shotgun. I took the shotgun from him and went back into my room.
I gave Trell the shotgun. We opened the bedroom door and started shooting full force. Thankfully none of us got hurt in the process of trying to get out.
After everything died down, we got our bags and walked downstairs. Everybody was running around in the lobby. I stayed calm as possible.
We got into the truck and drove to our overseas delivery man.
"Wassup man?" Authur dapped me up.
"Aye, we need this package to go back to our warehouse man."
"Okay, I got you."
"How much I owe you?"
"$3,450."
I counted out the money real quick and gave it to him.
"Thanks G."
"No problem, take it easy."
We left from there and went to the airport.
We made it to Los Angeles at 10 p.m-California time. Quan called my phone.
"Hello?"
"Aye man, where you at?" He sounded upset and nervous.
"Just made it back to LA, wassup?"
"I been trying to call yo phone man. Somebody broke in yo house dawg, it's bad."
I clenched my jaw,"I'll be at the warehouse in a minute."
I ended the call and sped up trying to get to the warehouse.
"What happened?" Trell asked.
"Quan said somebody just broke up in my damn house. Shit."
"What? Who?"
"He ain't say.."
"You think you should call your wife?" Scruggs asked.
"I don't know."
"Go ahead and call her." Big O nodded.
"Shit man," I pulled out my phone and called Kaelynn.
"Hello?" She sounded as if she had been sleep.
"Kaelynn, somebody just broke into the house."
"What?!" She screamed.
"I just made it back to LA. Somebody broke into the house. Quan called as soon as I got here. I'm almost to Compton right now. I'm about to change clothes."
"Michael, I'm on my way!"
"No, you don't need to be out with the boys."
"That's my house too! I'm about to get them up! I'll be there in about 3 hours."
"Ain't no use! I'll be home in about 15 minutes."
"I don't care!" She yelled. "I'm on my way!" She hung up the phone.
"Shit," I cursed under my breath.
When I made it to the warehouse, we jumped out. We went inside.
"When you get a call?" I asked Quan.
"One of my homeboys said somebody over there on the east was talking about it."
I grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to change. I changed into a pair of navy blue sweat pants and a plain white shirt. I put on my white and black Airmax and I was ready to go.
"Just meet me over there or something, okay?"
"I'm coming in 10 minutes." Trell jumped up.
I ran out and got into my truck. It didn't take long to get to Carson.
There was a black van parked on the side of the street.
"What the fuck?"
I grabbed my glock and barged inside of my house. The lights were on, but everything looked trashed. I could hear movements around upstairs.
I slowly walked upstairs. I stopped behind the wall. It was complete silence.
I felt the barrel of the gun on the back of my head.
"You move, I'll shoot yo ass."
