Everyone knows of a gang. They each have to uphold a reputation in order to have that power. Some people would say gangs are toxic; they exploit people's weakness and use it for their personal gain to build their own empire but this gang wasn't like what you have seen.
The leader was only 25 and ran the streets of Chicago. If you ever tried to cross them, you would not get off easy.
The name of this gang?
The Panthers.
Known for their no shit taking, powerful men and women and their regular booming business. We cannot forget about their killings, which they only did if they absolutely needed to, not like other gangs who will just do it how they like. To people on the outside, it looks like they are just dangerous thugs but, on the inside, it was much more than that. You had to prove yourself to be worthy enough to be a part of the gang. They were family, so they didn't take betrayal or disrespect lightly.
Huey Percy Freeman was currently the leader of The Panthers with his younger brother Riley Escobar Freeman as his right-hand man. The gang has been passed down for 5 generations and each generation made the gang even better.
Huey was smart. People thought he would go off to college and get out of the game but when his father was nearly killed, he stayed to protect the Freeman and gang name. This young man did not take shit from no one. Being a black belt in 4 different styles of marital arts made him almost untouchable as he could dodge whatever they threw at him, maybe not bullets but you get it. Also, being bilingual made business easier as he could talk to the Chinese, Latinos and other people about expanding his business.
His little brother Riley was more of the "thug" out of the two. If you hear of a shootout, then he was probably around the scene. Huey would try and rail him in every now and then but other times he would like Riley go crazy. He handed the streets while Huey handed the overall business.
"Ay yo Huey! We gotta problem." Riley Freeman announced as he walked into the office of Huey Freeman.
"What do you mean we got a problem?" He asked his brother as he looked up from his paperwork.
"Some niggas trying to take our turf. Even held up one of our young ones out there."
Huey leaned back into his chair. This gang only sold marijuana. No crack cocaine, meth, none of that. Strictly weed.
"Them boys alright?" He asked. He called them boys but they were 18. They only recruited people who were 18 plus, anyone younger couldn't get in. Yes, they were a gang but they still had some morals.
"Yeah. Mikey a bit shook but he good, Mateo good too."
"Do they know who it might be?"
"One had a Russian accent. It's the fucking Russians again man." Riley crossed his tattooed muscular arms as he sat in front of Huey.
"Fuck... call in Hiro and Caesar." Riley nodded and did just that. Within five minutes, their most trusted men walked into Huey's office.
"Sup nigga." Caesar said as they all gathered in the room. Caesar handed the weed distributions, which may seem ironic since he is the Jamaican of the group, while Hiro handed the money and technology.
"One word: Russians." Riley told them.
"Damn they can't leave us alone?" Hiro complained as he pulled out a stack of money and began counting it.
"They disappear for years and decided to come back now. If they try some shit its game out. Nobody should be fucking with us. Spread the word about keeping an eye out." Huey instructed them and they all nodded along in understanding.
"Ay I found a new club for you to buy but it's not like the other night clubs. As a matter of fact, let's go to that shit now. Get up bitches." Riley said happily as he rushed out the door. The three men stayed in their spots for a moment, confused about what Riley meant before finally giving in and following him out.
Somewhere not far, a group of beautiful girls are getting ready in a dressing room.
"Alright ladies! It's a busy night tonight so I don't expect no half ass performances."
If you haven't guessed it, they are in the strip club and the room was full of strippers. All different shapes, sizes and races.
The one taking lead name was 'Emerald'. Her name came from her eyes. Everyone would say her eyes sparkled like emeralds when she was growing up so when she started dancing, that's the name she set her mind on. She had a cute face and cute waist with strawberry blonde/brown curls that was shaped in an afro. At only 25 she has built up a reputation at the club which every girl respected.
"Alright, Cotton and Chyna you're up first. Then we have Rose, Mariah and Carmen. After that it's me and Diamond. You should all know the rest of the order." Emerald instructed and the first two made their way on stage.
Emerald looked down at her outfit. It was a baby pink, suede, body suit that just about covered her breast and matching 7-inch heels. It completed her skin tone well. This was who Emerald is but Jazmine Aaliyah Dubois was a whole nother bad ass bitch but that's for later, as for now 'Emerald' has a show to run.
"You ready girl? I hear there's some gangster up in this bitch tonight." Her best friend Royalty Williams AKA Diamond said as she moved over to where she was sitting touching up her make up. She had on a baby blue fur bra and pantie set with some baby blue 7-inch heels.
"You know I stay ready. I feel sorry for Sapphire and Ruby because they're gonna be running up and down all night." Emerald replied. Sapphire was their other friend whose real name was Cindy McPhearson as well as Ruby whose real name was Ming Long-Dou. These four have a lot of history together but when they are at work, they call each other by their stage names and their government names are someone completely different to who was standing in the clubs.
"Yeah. I can't wait to get me some of them thugs because you know they got money." Diamond began to dance excitedly to which Emerald joined in.
"We finna be balling bitch!" The two laughed before going into general conversation as they waited for their time to go on stage and earn some money.
Little did the girls know, those "thugs" are more than they bargained for.
This is my second Boondocks story so I am still kinda scared about where this will go since it is different from my other one but make sure you read both and leave reviews. Also, I know, names are weak but I couldn't think of nothing and hopefully you don't get confused with the name switches.
