still young and there was a lot of money to be made. He had a whole night’s worth of dates set up for his girls. Besides, any pimp worth his salt knew the game was to be sold, not told. He turned the music back up, pressed a button and the window closed as he slowly pulled off into the night.
     
    As soon as Fat Mack had pulled off, Dot did her little ‘crack head shuffle’ and started back up with her account of the events that had taken place earlier that day. “So then Meka ran outta bullets and pulled two clips from out of her socks…”
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER 8
     
     
     
    After the shootout, Ant D and Meka had quickly made the decision to put their mother up in a hotel in downtown Greenville until they had enough time to figure out their next move. It wasn’t like she couldn’t be touched downtown, but the chances of it happening were a lot less likely in an expensive hotel that was so close to the sheriff’s office. Besides, Zulu or whoever was gunning for them didn’t really want Glo anyway. They wanted Ant D and Meka. But if they couldn’t touch the twins, it was safe to say that they’d be willing to take their mother’s life instead. Ant was a killer and he knew how niggas like him thought. And God forbid, but if anything happened to Glo because of some shit they had done, neither Meka nor Ant would be able to live with themselves. She hadn’t been the best mother in the world, but she was the only one they had. Despite her neglect and all the bullshit they’d been through because of it, they still loved her.
     
    So they had hurriedly packed a couple of suitcases full of clothes, toiletries and whatever else Gloria felt like she would need to maintain for a few weeks. Ant placed the suitcases into the trunk of Meka’s Chrysler 300. The Chrysler was far less conspicuous than her custom painted pink Range Rover Sport or his own flip flop Corvette. They were attempting to be as low key as possible. The last thing they were trying to do was attract attention right now.
     
    Meka had assumed that Ant was coming with them to the hotel, but she wasn’t completely surprised when he told her that he was staying at the house instead. She knew her brother. She and Glo both had tried to talk him out of it, but Ant wasn’t trying to hear it. To him, going to the hotel with his mama and sister after somebody had just shot up their house felt too much like a bitch move; like he was running. In his mind it would be like saying that he was scared. Fuck that. Ant wasn’t running from nothing, or nobody.
     
    Seeing that they weren’t going to change Ant’s mind, Meka and Glo both gave him a long hug and a kiss. Gloria stepped back with tears streaming down her cheeks. Neither knew for sure if this would be the last time they’d see each other. The mood was somber. He could see the trepidation in his mother’s eyes. “Look. Y’all trippin’. I got this here. Don’t even worry ‘bout me. I’m good. Im’a be up to the hotel in a couple of days to check on you. Ok mama?” He smiled, something Gloria realized that she hadn’t seen him do in a long time, then wiped away her tears with the tips of his thumbs. Gloria just nodded, not wanting her voice to betray her. His words did little to allay her fears as she and Meka headed to the car.
     
    As Meka was backing out of the driveway, a navy blue Greenville County police cruiser with yellow stripes along the side pulled up. There were two Deputies in it inhibiting her from backing up any further. Her first thought had been to slam her foot down on the accelerator and peel off on them muthafuckas. She did have both a loaded weapon and her “medicine” in her handbag. But upon second thought, she quickly changed her mind. Ant wasn’t in the car. He had numerous warrants out for his arrest, and the last thing she wanted to do was get into a high speed chase with her mama in the car. Besides, there were only two of them and they didn’t even
