Chapter 10
Standing on the East Corner, both Tommy and Bodie waited patiently for the punters to start rolling in whilst Billy had gone to grab the newest duffel of their shit from his trunk; no fucker would dare try and take it from him alone.
"This is where Jess got jumped?" Tommy asked, his eyes finding the pavement which even after a few days was still stained in blood.
Bodie nodded "Least they got what was coming to em dog..."
Tommy nodded in agreement "What surprises me is she took em both on...girls got some fucking balls"
Bodie smirked "Jess has always been good in a tight spot, even before you and Jamie joined...How we doing, almost free of this shit?" He asked pulling his head round to look at Tommy who was already shuffling inside his jacket.
"Two packs left...definitely better than yesterday..."
Hearing a deep growl of an engine approaching them, both Bodie and Tommy looked to the side to see a dodge pull up just next to them on the curb.
"Yo dog, you wanna buy some shit?" Bodie asked stepping forward as the guy rolled down his blacked out window, Tommy remained behind his hand holding tightly onto the piece in the back of his jeans; this game although it paid well was highly competitive and deadly – it wasn't out of the ordinary for their rivals to do a drive by every so often in the hope of scaring them from the spot they sold at.
Nodding the guy grabbed the handle and pushed the driver's door open; stepping out of his car he literally towered over Bodie's now smaller and skinnier frame "Well you're not as pretty as the girl that I bought from before but yeah...I'm definitely interested in buying..." He joked.
Bodie pulled his eyebrows together "Girl?"
The guy smirked whilst nodding "Cute little brunette with one hell of a customer service manner..."
Bodie laughed "That'd be Jess dog, one of our bestsellers..."
"Where she at? I'm pretty sure you'd make a better fucking sale if she were here..."
Bodie's smile disappeared, no way was he bout to start chatting bout Billy's girl to some random "She's taking some time off so for now you got me but I'm sure we can work summit out..."
The guy nodded "Cause she got jumped right? Was sorry to hear that..."
Bodie's interest was instantly peeked "What you know bout it?"
"Word travels fast brother...especially on these streets"
"You hear summit?"
The guy nodded "Yeah I heard something..."
From behind Billy appeared, casually walking round the corner and in the direction of Tommy. Pausing he dropped the duffel at his feet and pulled a smoke from his jeans; perching it in his lips he lit in – taking a drag. Turning momentarily away from the guy, Bodie looked in Billy's direction and caught his eye, subtly nodding his head to come over.
"Watch this shit..." Billy said to Tommy after blowing out the smoke before dropping the cigarette to the ground. Stepping forward he moved to where Bodie and this guy were standing "Alright?" Billy asked glancing between the two of them but forcing himself to be pleasant in the hope of selling the last batch of shit they had.
Bodie nodded assuming he would think there was a problem "Yeah dog, dude says he knows summit bout the attack on Jess the other night..."
Billy raised his eyebrows in obvious interest, turning his head he looked at the guy standing next to him "Fuck that might be then? He asked.
The guy nodded "Sorry bout your girl, never seen a seller so loyal to her supplier..."
Billy smirked and nodded "She's doing fine, now...the fuck you hear?"
"Last night, the boys and I were drinking down at The Whistler, heard some of the real fucking dedicated locals chatting shit bout how two of their own got blown away by a girl on the Eastside and how they're gonna handle it..."
As he listened, Billy's jaw instantly clenched – hell no was they threatening her fucking life after they intentionally picked a fucking fight with her...what did they expect to happen? For her to just fucking lay down and take it like a bitch?
"Dog that's where some of those B Street punks hang right?" Bodie asked looking at him.
Billy nodded "Looks like our hit list just got a whole fucking lot longer..." He growled through gritted teeth, looking back at the guy he nodded in appreciation not that he would ever say thank you "Shits on me..."
Bodie nodded at Billy's silent order, opening his leather jacket he shuffled inside the pocket before extending his arm out so the guy could take the two packets he was holding.
"Thanks, names Zack by the way..." Zack replied stepping back to his car "Hey Billy you need any help – you let us know and the boys and I will happily roll at your side – no girl like that should ever be treated in such a way..." Watching Billy nod, Zack climbed in his car and quickly started the engine – pulling the car in a u-turn he sped off in the opposite direction...
Opening his own leather jacket, Billy shuffled in his pocket – grabbing his phone, he pulled it out and flipped it open.
"You thinkin something?" Bodie asked nodding at Tommy, subtly calling him over to them.
A seriously pissed off smirk appeared on Billy's face as he hit dial, putting the phone to his ear he listened to it ring "B Street aren't making one fucking move on her, I want her at the Four Roses on lockdown...the fuckers die before they threaten one of us!"
Bodie and Tommy nodded in unison "Too fucking right dog..."
Meanwhile Heco, Baggy and Spink were positioned over on the Westside corner "I'm so fucking bored..." Spink groaned leaning against the hood of Heco's car.
Heco smirked "Guess no one's getting shit faced today...too bad for them..."
"We've sold what? Ten bags? Billy's going to fucking flip..."
"We can't control the punters Spink, jus be glad we sold this fucking much..."
Hearing his phone vibrating in his jacket pocket, Baggy pulled it out and held it to his ear "Yo, dude what's up?"
"You wanna get back in my fucking good books?" Billy asked on the other end; his voice obviously angered.
"Yeah..." Baggy simply replied
"Take Heco's car, find Jess and get her off the fucking street...B Street's making a move – we're gonna go sort the little fuckers out..."
"Sure thing...you want Heco and Spink with ya, you know what those fucking punks can be like dude?"
The line went quiet, Billy clearly thinking bout his suggestion "Send em over, get Jess to the Four Roses...and please stay the fuck with her" The tone in his voice clearly sounding like he wasn't going to give him another fucking chance.
"I will, won't let ya down..." With that he hung up the phone – moving to Heco he held out his hand "Keys..."
"The fuck for?" Heco asked passing him a questionable look.
"I ain't got time to fucking explain, give me the keys and get your asses over to the East side, Billy needs backup..."
Instantly the boys got their shit together, throwing Baggy the keys; Heco and Spink sprinted in the opposite direction.
Climbing in the car, Baggy started the engine up 'Find Jess, get her off the street'
Well that sounded like a reasonable plan at first but now he's gotta fucking find her...grabbing his phone, he scrolled to her number – hitting the dial number he put the phone to his ear "C'mon Jess...pick up..." What did he get after six fucking rings, fucking voicemail "Fuck!" Baggy cursed slipping the car into drive; pulling the car off the curb he gunned the car of the main road...he needed to find her, fucking quickly to...
Slamming the trunk of her car closed, Jess flinched at the feeling of her side pulling; throwing the bag over her shoulder she made her way pass the passenger side.
"You sure you don't want some company? You know what he's fucking like..." Joe offered, his head peering out of the completely rolled down window.
Pausing at his side, Jess smirked – lifting her hand she ruffled her hand through his spiked up brown hair "Nice gesture Joey but I got this, gonna be in and out...you boys wait here"
Watching Joe glance in her side mirror to sort his hair out, Jess couldn't help but giggle as she turned in the direction of the entrance gates "Who knew Joey Darley could be such a fucking tart?"
"Fuck you Jess; you're just sad you don't look like me..." Joe joked watching her turn and lean against the gated door.
"Your right Joey, I don't look like you – I do however look fucking better..." Poking her tongue out at him victoriously, she backed up and opened the gate; smirking she turned and walked up the drive way to Bone's workshop – their third stop of the day, weren't doing bad considering Doug had mixed all the fucking hardware up, not that she would tell this little fact to Billy knowing he would blow the poor guys head off for all the mistakes he was currently making.
Opening the blacked out door, Jess walked inside letting it slam behind her; this workshop had to be the darkest fucking place in all of Stokely; how they could fucking see what they were working on she didn't know... Walking past the dimly lit workshop, Jess heard all of the guys on shift that day jokingly whistle and holler at her as she walked through. Smiling at the numerous compliments she got, Jess slowly approached Bone's offices; knowing Billy all her life she was very aware of how his son of a bitch dad treated him – she'd watched him on numerous occasions when they were both younger take a belt to Billy's back – she'd be the one to wipe the blood away, stitch him up...tell him not to listen – that he was something.
As much as she'd like to put a bullet right between his eyes, he was Bones Darley; Billy's dad and famously known for being the biggest drug-gun lord in Boston with the most followers and supporters. Luckily enough for Jess, Bone's had always shown her respect; ever since she was a young girl.
"Well well, look who's fucking back in town..." Bones smiled watching her approach the desk.
"Well well, look who hasn't moved from the same position since I fucking left..." Jess sarcastically joked in her reply, lifting the bag off of her shoulder she dropped it onto the table just in front "Got your delivery..."
Bones smirked, leaning forward he grabbed the bag "I always knew you being in the business would have its fucking benefits..." Sliding the bag open, he peered inside.
Jess smirked "Like what?"
"Well for one, shit gets delivered on time..." One by one he took the guns out to inspect them; after glancing over each one, he set them down on the table "Who's my halfwit of a son got running with you?"
Jess huffed and shook her head at his question "Billy has got Joey, Jamie and Doug with me..."
Bones smirked picking up on her sarcastic reply, she always did stick up for little fucker "So...how was your out of town business, that Intel I gave you correct?"
Jess nodded "Yeah I found him..." She replied simply not wanting to get in to it again...like Billy the best way to not dwell on things is to not fucking think about it and distract oneself with anything and everything.
"And...You kill that dirt-bag motherfucker?" Bones asked, his eyes now looking up at her.
"What you think? Missing the top of his skull after I was finished..." Jess smirked seeing Bones nod his head – almost proud of the things the girl was capable of.
"You're a good fucking girl Jess – that son of a bitch got what was coming, don't ever think different, you hear me?"
Jess nodded, in some weird way Bones had always believed he was a surrogate father and instruction giver for all the younger gang members that worked under him or Billy...Shuffling in his drawer, he pulled out a wad of cash – bout five grand at first glance. Leaning forward he handed her the cash "Three thousand for the guns and two thousand for you..."
Taking the cash, Jess paused and passed him a confused look "What? Why?"
Bones huffed "Girl you know I hate it when you fucking question me... I been treating you all your fucking life and your gonna question me now?" He asked raising his eyebrow at her.
Jess nodded "Thanks..." Opening her jacket, she slid the wad in her inside pocket.
"Anytime...I can't believe you're still running for my Billy after all this fucking time? When you gonna fucking upgrade and run for me?"
Jess smirked zipping her leather back up "Appreciate the offer Bones but you know Billy's side is where I'll stay..."
Bones nodded watching her turn and start to head out "He don't fucking deserve someone like you!" He shouted after her.
Jess smiled whilst walking out of the exit "I don't fucking deserve someone like him..."
Walking back to the car, Jess felt her phone vibrating in her pocket; pulling it out saw six missed calls "Fuck, all happening today..." She said finding she had two missed calls from Billy and four from Baggy...
Opening the driver's door she climbed in the car, taking a deep breath as she relaxed against the seat; she wasn't going to lie her side was fucking killing.
"How's dear old fucking dad?" Joe asked from the passenger seat.
Jess smirked, turning her head she watched him take a long draw on his cigarette – just like his big brother "The usual..."
Scrolling to Billy's number on her phone, she was about to click dial when Jamie's voice sounded from the back "So where we heading next?" Jamie asked curiously.
Clicking her phone off she placed it back in her jacket pocket before looking down at the paper that she had grabbed from the dash "Down Southside, one more to go then we can fucking chill out at the Four Roses..." She said instantly and innocently forgetting about the call she should have made...Putting her car into gear she sped off for the final drop – completely unaware that both Billy and Baggy were trying to track her down, trying to get her the fuck out of harm's way...
