Haha, lots of questions I see. Okay, this next chapter will hopefully answer some.
Riley and Cindy sat with smug looks on their faces once Huey and Jazmine were done explaining the situation. "What?" they asked in unison. "Obviously you need our help..cuz ya'll ain't real niggas like us" Riley said cockily, referring to him and Cindy.
Huey rolled his eyes. "Then how come we're the ones with the money and the mustangs?" Jazmine asked smartly. "Because selfish asses don't like to share" Cindy said as a matter-of-factly. "If ya'll had your own money..we wouldn't have to share" Huey said, determined to make his point. Riley and Cindy sucked their teeth.
"Aight. So, if we make dis deal with you-"
"If? Seymour, there is no if-"
"Reezy, you feel like getting shot?"
"Bitch, if it means I still be getting my paper."
Cindy and Riley exchanged glares as Huey and Jazmine sighed impatiently.
"Alright, we in" Cindy groaned. "C'mon Cindy, you gon' thank me later!" Riley said reassuringly as he placed an arm around her shoulder. "If I'm not dead already" Cindy mumbled under her breath.
"So you do understand that this is your life you're putting in jeopardy?" Huey asked them. "Well duh nigga. We've been through this before..remember the fund-" Riley began to say before Huey cut him off. "Yes. I remember the fundraiser that took place eight years ago. I'm just making sure that you're ready to live that lifestyle again" Huey stated. Cindy and Riley nodded their heads. Huey sighed into his hand; he was kind've hoping they wouldn't agree.
"But I have a question. If ya'll quittin' ya'll crews..doesn't that mean they gon' kill you?" Cindy asked. "Well yeah, but if we make our own gang together, they can't touch us as individuals" Jazmine stated.
"So they're not gonna rat on ya'll to the police becuz they feeling salty?" Cindy went on to ask. Riley gave her an annoyed look. "Seymour, you and I both know that real niggas don't snitch" he said. Cindy shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head. "Alright, if you say so Reezy" she sighed.
"But-" Cindy began; making everyone groan. Cindy rolled her eyes and continued anyway. "Couldn't ya'll just make some peace treaty?" she asked Huey and Jazmine. This made Jazmine and Riley buss out laughing; Huey smirked.
"Nigga, gangs and treaties never work!" Riley said through his laughter. "Yeah, without nigga moments..gangs wouldn't exist" Huey stated. Jazmine nodded before giggling again. "Okay, so no that that's out of the way..who are we gonna recruit?" Huey asked. Everyone put their best "thinking faces" on.
"Definitely Caesar" Huey said after a while. "Yeah Caesar..uh Hiro?" Jazmine said. "I guess. Oh what about that nigga Cairo?" Riley asked. Huey snorted. "Awwh c'mon man! You and Cairo used to be tight" Riley complained. "You know what happened Riley" Huey said. "Yeah, but, nigga that was eight years ago! I betcha he don't even remember bussing you in the face" Riley laughed, making Huey glare at him. "He's an option" Huey said bitterly. "Oh what about Ming?" Jazmine asked. Huey rolled his eyes.
"Jazmine, she's in China" he said. "So? Cairo's in Chicago. They both can just fly down here" Jazmine countered. "Yeah Huey. Plus, that Chinese girl got superhuman shit like you do" Cindy said. "Fine" Huey said.
"Okay, so far we have Caesar, Hiro, Cairo, and Ming. Who else?" Jazmine said. That's when Huey's eyes lit up. "Lamilton and Butch" he said. Riley gave him a glare. "You know I don't like them niggas Huey! Plus Lamilton's dumbass tried to kill me!" Riley yelled. "Just making possibilities Riley" Huey said with a smirk. "Yeah, but I don't feel like getting killed before we even start nigga" Riley said, crossing his arms.
"Do you realize who your brother is? He could beat both of their asses in a heartbeat" Cindy said. "She's got a point" Huey agreed cockily. Riley sighed. "Yeah but didn't he die or something?" Riley asked. Huey shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know..but we can find some way to contact him" he said. "Man whatever" Riley mumbled under his breath; making Cindy giggle.
"Now that we have somewhat of a crew, we need a name" Jazmine said. "The Lethal Interjection Crew!" Riley yelled excitedly. Huey pinched the brigde of his nose. "No, were not copying Thugnificent's name" he said with a sigh. "Man, they not even a group no more. Remember, Thugnificent works for UPS now" Riley countered. "Nope. I refuse to acknowledge that name" Huey simply said. Riley sucked his teeth.
"The Withholders."
"Clique of Jacks."
"Hectic Hoodrats."
"The Teen Titans."
Everyone turned to glare at Jazmine and her naive thoughts. She gave them a sheepish look and shrugged.
"Eternal Jailbirds."
Everyone laughed at Jazmine's name. "You've never been to jail Jazmine!" Cindy laughed. Jazmine rolled her eyes and made a pouty face. "Well we're not getting anywhere with this. I guess were just gonna have to agree to disagree" she said bitterly as she got up from the couch and started pacing.
"The Misinterpretations" Cindy said. Everyone gave this a considering thought. "I actually like that.." Huey said with hesitation. "Yeah, it's catchy" Jazmine agreed. Riley snorted. "The Lethal-"
"No!" everyone yelled at him. Riley rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Fine. The Misinterpretations it is" he groaned.
"Good, now that were all on the same page. Now Cindy and Riley-"
"Reezy" Riley interrupted.
"Cindy and Reezy-"
"C-Murph" Cindy interrupted.
Jazmine groaned. "C-Murph and Reezy, go call up our new recruits. Huey, go start my car" Jazmine said as she tossed Huey her car keys. Huey caught them as she hurried to get a pencil and paper. Riley and Cindy got up from the couch and went to make some phone calls. Yep, things will go as planned.
