Chapter 7: Young Love in Brooklyn

"Oh shit man he's getting away!"

Huey and Caesar were chasing a green truck down a alley way. The man they were chasing had something they needed. They didn't know what. But this guy wasn't letting up his speed.

A simple mission was turning into a high speed chase.

All they had to do was sneak into the man's office and grab a stick drive. But they couldn't find it anywhere, even in the safe. Than he came into the office and saw them. He went running once he saw Huey and Caesar.

"Damn this guy knows where he is going?" Caesar shouted. Huey kept driving, not losing sight on the truck. The guy was cutting in and out of traffic in the city centre of Manhattan to which Huey followed into another ally way.

"Hold on man," Caesar said, "keep the car steady as possible."

Huey watch Caesar grab a 9mm gun and opened the window. He took aim and fired, taking out the truck's tire.

The truck suddenly hit a garbage bin and the man was trying to get away on foot. Huey stopped the SUV and got out along with Caesar. The man was injured badly but they caught up with him, slamming him into the brick wall of the ally way.

"Where is it?" demanded Huey.

"I don't know what you are talking about," the man said scared.

""Where is it?" Huey demanded again, searching his pockets.

"Please, please let me go!" he shouted.

The stick drive wasn't anywhere on him.

"Warrior!" He hear Caesar shouted, holding up the stick drive.

"He must have dropped it when we were chasing him," he said.

Huey nodded, at least they have what they came for.

"Do you have any idea what's on it?" Huey asked.

The man shook his head, "No but I'm a dead man."

He wasn't lying, because out of no where a shot went through his forehead, killing him instantly.

"Shit!" Caesar shouted, "we gotta get the fuck out of here."

Huey agreed and started running towards the SUV. The shooter kept shooting as they enter into the car.

"Ahh shit!"

Huey saw his friend holding onto his shoulder. He had to get out of there before they were killed putting the car into gear and took off.

:::::

"The bullet only grazed you, you'll be fine," said Ming, placing some gauges over Caesar's arm.

They manage to get out of there after awhile. But the SUV had bullet holes in the one side of the car. It pissed off Cindy because now she had to fix it.

"But did you at least find the stick drive?" said Hiro, sitting at the table in the kitchen. Huey gave him the stick drive and Hiro put it into his laptop, trying to find information they needed to get their lives back.

All of them were frustrated because so far, they have found nothing concrete against the group that call themselves the Guilders.

Huey felt it the most of all. Everyone was either single or married. Huey didn't get a chance to make Jazmine his.

"I know how you feel man."

Huey looked up and saw Caesar looking at him in understanding.

"I know you want to get your life back more than any of us. I am happy that our wives became friends because I wouldn't know how my wife and son were doing if it wasn't for Riley."

"Jazmine wasn't my wife. I just proposed to her the day I got arrested."

"Nigga please," Riley said walking in, "not only is she your baby mama, she your wifey. Damn you had it planned out since you grad from college."

Everyone looked at Huey. He didn't seem like the type that would get the piece of paper.

"Because she deserves it."

"Ya damn right she did. No one was better with putting up with our shit. Jazzy had all the makings of a Freeman. Better than those hoes you dated."

Huey nodded in agreement.

"Hey man how long have you known your girl?" Hiro asked still at the task at hand.

"Since I was ten."

Casear laughs, "You're kidding."

Huey shook his head.

"That's funny man. You guys didn't get together till you were in college?"

"It was the right time. We had other people we were dating," Huey simply said. He didn't want to talk about it.

"Man it's fine. I known my girl since I was nine."

Everyone looked at Caesar in surprise.

"Don't look so surprise. Almost the same shit happen," he replied.

"You guys are fucking dead! It's going to take me weeks to fix," Cindy said coming into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of water.

"Cindy you enjoy fixing cars. This isn't going to be like the last time," said Riley. They been hanging out a lot lately. Ballin', chillin' and getting their job done.

Cindy nodded as she took a big swig of water.

"How did you and Tia meet?" asked Ming.

Cindy sat at the table to listen. She wanted to know as well.

"I met her at a block party. It was my first time performing. I had this sick song I couldn't wait to perform but I can't sing."

:::::

Nine year old Michael Caesar was nervous. This is what he was waiting for. But he couldn't sing. He figure he just wing it but now he wasn't so sure about it.

The block was hot but people were happy to have the party. Food was serve, drinks were cold and people were loving the entertainment on the make-shift stage.

Caesar wanted this but how could he perform when he couldn't sing.

Ain't no sunshine in this home.

Only darkness everyday.

Ain't no sunshine in this in this home.

You nigga gonna be gone.

Anytime because we don't wait.

The song he was going to to perform. He needed that girl voice. He watch as she kept on singing, sitting on a step of a row house.

"Hey that was amazing!"

She blushed.

"How you sing like that?"

"I don't know, I just do," she replied.

"I'm Michael Caesar, but everyone calls me Caesar," he said, holding his hand out.

"I'm Tia Brown, aren't we in the same class?" she asked taking his hand to shake.

Caesar try to think about that one. How did miss her?

"Anyways are you going to perform?"

Caesar nodded, "Yeah but… I can't sing."

"You are going to perform but you can't sing?"

Caesar nodded again, "If I had your voice, there wouldn't be a problem."

Tia smirked, "What's in it for me?"

Caesar got her. "I'll take you to Coney."

"Nigga your nine, how are you going to take me to Coney?"

"I keep my promises and I promise."

She agree and they performed. They killed it. They became friends since that day.

As promise, Caesar took Tia to Coney Island when they were twelve. He even paid for dinner, making it into a date. When they got home that night, Tia kissed him before walking into her home.

:::::

"I knew even than. She was going to be my wife," he said.

Huey and Hiro knew that feeling. That feeling when you want to spend the rest of your life with someone.

"Leaving her the first time was hard enough though," Caesar said, grabbing a bottle of water off the table.

"What why?" Cindy asked.

"When I was fifteen I gotten a deal. It was too good to pass up. We broke up and I moved to LA for a few years. I had other girls but no one compare to her. I was back in Brooklyn when I saw her again."

::::::

Being home for the twenty one year old MC was a relief. He was excited for this one. His homecoming.

But his dreads look like shit.

"Man, you need to find someone and fast to get these done," Caesar said, looking at his hair.

He had a few hours before he had to be on stage, he wanted this to be the best. This was his home.

"Hey, someone needs their dreads redone?"

Caesar turned and saw the most beautiful woman he had ever saw. She was petit but had all the right curves in the right places. Her braids were shaping her face as honey coloured eyes stared at him. Reminding him of Tia.

"Yeah can you do it?"

She nodded and got to work on re-twisting his dreads.

"You came along way Caesar," she said, "I remember the boy who promise me when we were nine to take me to Coney."

What?

"Tia?"

She smile at him.

"Long time no see."

"Shit your all woman now." Okay he didn't want to say that.

Tia laughs as she still worked on his hair. "You're all man."

Casear smirked.

"Okay your all done," she said, putting away her supplies.

Caesar didn't need to look because he already knew she did a great job.

"Anyways I gotta get back to work. It was great seeing you again," she said leaving.

Not again.

"Hey Tia, do you want have dinner with me?"

Tia looked at him as she was putting her headset on.

"You buying?"

He nodded.

Tia walked over and kiss him. He tried to deepen it but Tia moved back to end it.

"Tomorrow night, we are to busy tonight," she said walking away.

It was the best show Caesar has ever put on. He even got Tia up on the stage to perform Ain't no Sunshine by DMX, one of his personal heroes. It was a great success.

:::::

"Within six months, I married her and after a year she gotten pregnant with Donte. I couldn't be a happier. I want my life back just like everyone else here," Caesar finished, "it killed me when they took me out. But I saw men standing around our place and knew right at the moment I couldn't be alive."

Everyone now knew Caesar story. Everyone knew of Hiro's and Cindy's as well.

Cindy was taken because the foster home she was placed in was awful. She had a talent for mechanics. This was her last assignments before she left for good. But she was always grateful that White Shadow and Agent Flowers grabbed her before anything bad happened.

But no one knew of Huey's and Riley's. They didn't talk about it and they didn't want to.

"Hey guys."

Everyone looked up as Hiro kept his eyes glued to the laptop.

"I think I found something."
