"You messed up, D-Mob." Sitting in the back of a detective car, New York resident and gang leader. D-Mob sat in the back quiet as he listened to the corrupt officers that arrested him a few minutes back. The fact he shot up Def Jam wasn't a surprise that he would be carted away…having shot Manny, a tattoo artist that helped his friend take his girl, Angelique from him.
D-Mob knew that he would lose everything…
'Was I blinded by the power that I got cocky?' the one thing he despised was something he eventually became.
"Yeah, how am I gonna get my kid, through college now, huh?" the Caucasian officer that drove the car questioned as D-Mob stayed silent. "Don't worry someone always comes along to take his place." The black detective assured his partner as he looked at D-Mob menacingly. "Ain't that right D-Mo-" he was caught off guard as flashing lights speed towards them. Looking beyond his partner's window a roaring SUV was seen heading right for them.
D-Mob quickly lowering his head felt a massive crash as the officers shouted in shock at the impact.
"Look out!"
The car skidded yards back and tumbled a bit only to come to an abrupt stop. Glass was flung every where as out the SUV hopped out a blond man with deep sea blue eyes. Wearing an orange hoody and black jeans with orange sneakers.
D-Mob weakly pushed himself out of the broken window. As the blond man approached him the gang leader looked up to be shocked by the appearance of an old friend. "Naru?" he questioned confused as the man smirked to him. "No time to be shocked, David. We need to go, like right now old friend."
Helping D-Mob out the two headed for the car. Inside the detective car, the Caucasian officer groaned in pain as he looked out the window only to see Naruto hitting him with a smirk. "See you, later." He waved to the officer, who weakily made a memory to beat that smug of his face in the future.
Getting the radio off he called out weakily. "Officer…down…need back up."
"What's your status, detective?" the dispatcher questioned but received no answer. "Detective?...detective?" the screen faded as it showed that the detective had passed out.
A couple blocks away from the accidents, the SUV came to a complete stop in an abandoned warehouse. Getting out of the car was Naruto and D-Mob. "Alright we'll dump the car here," the blond stated as he headed for the office that stood in the centre of the building, inside he walked over to the desk and pulled open one of the drawers. "What is this place? D-Mob questioned as Naruto shuffled through the drawer's contents. "This is my friend, Juan's place. He hopes to make it into one of the best garages in NYC…in order to do so, he needs money, so with the car he'll be able to use it for good use." Naruto came back with a paper clip as he directed for D-Mob to put his hands up.
Not wasting time, the man freed from his cuffs which were disposed to the nearest trashcan. "How did you find me anyway?" D-Mob asked as he nursed his wrists. "Easy, I heard you were fighting and I wanted to see." Naruto replied as they walked out of the warehouse, closing the metal door behind them. "When I got there I was surprised by the fact you got arrested, as seeing as you were my friend. I had to bail you out." Walking on the sidewalk the two noticed how quiet and ghostly the street they were currently on was.
"Are you sure this place is safe?"
"Don't worry, not many people come to this side of town. Just a couple yards out we'll turn a left and boom you'll see the civilization you desperately desire."
"No I don't have a problem with this, it's just I feel a little exposed, you know?"
"Whatever you say, David."
"Actually my name is D-Mob now."
"D-Mob? You starting to give yourself nicknames now?"
"Of course not, things have changed since you left New York, Naru. I have a crew now."
"You have a crew?" Naruto questioned as D-Mob nodded. "Then why didn't I see anyone give you back up?" that question was the one that made him pissed. "That's a question I also want answered," as they turned the left they saw infront of them people going through their daily lives.
It was night time so the street lights were brightly lit. Many cars roamed on the street as the honking of bells and shouting of hawkers filled the atmosphere. "Taxi!" D-Mob pulled over a taxi. "Where are we going?" Naruto asked. "To one of my members' crib." He got in the taxi being followed by Naruto. "I have a feeling, they'll be surprised to see me."
Blaze and Sticky Fingaz sat in the apartment playing a game on the console. Blaze sat on the couch with his legs stretched out as he looked at the screen with composure, while Sticky sat beside him with a ferocious expression on him. Leaning forward the man button smashed the controller to the point that Blaze could see that he was desperate to win. "Ha! You can't handle these skills, bitch! That's why I'm the champ!" he shouted in victory as Blaze rolled his eyes. 'You lost like five times, man.'
"Well if you think you're all that, why don't we run it back and see that you ain't no one shot wonder?" Blaze offered as Sticky grinned with confidence. "You're on!" they were about to start another game when they were surprised by the door being opened.
Blaze and Sticky quickly got up and starred the door down only to be surprised by D-Mob. "Oh snap D-Mob? I thought you were-" Blaze spoke up only to be interrupted by D-Mob who had a scowl. "Thought I was what? Arrested?" he finished his sentence.
"Who's this?"
"This is the guy that got me out of jail, while you clowns were in here playing a game."
"Hey." Blaze spoke up feeling offended. "Atleast were still around. Who knows what people are saying after the shit you pulled?"
"Shit he pulled? What did he do?" Naruto spoke up. "It's a story for another day." D-Mob replied. "Look D-Mob, we gotta count up our soldiers and put them on the streets. The fact you got arrested already has fools going up and down claiming our territory. So is your friend here in or out?"
D-Mob turned to Naruto who just sighed.
"You know I don't fight for power and money, right?" he stated in Japanese as D-Mob nodded. "I know, but right now I do need your help, alright? There's this clown called Crow who me and him shared the city. With him thinking I'm in the pen, it won't be long till he claims my turf. We need to stop him, Naru since he plans turning this town into a drug city."
Naruto kept quiet and thought for a minute. "And let's say we do stop him, what's to say that you won't end up being drunk by power like him?"
"You know me, Naru. I never do the same mistake twice."
"Alright fine then, just know you owe me a drink after this."
"Agreed."
Blaze and Sticky Fingaz looked surprised when they heard how the two spoke. "You what did he say man?" Blaze questioned. "What is he scared of saying no in 'English'?" Fingaz asked as D-Mob looked at the two.
"Yeah, he's in."
"Well remember, man. We don't know shit about this guy, no offense."
"Well I know a lot about him… me and him went to juvie together and let me tell you, he's not to be messed with."
"That still don't make him look tough, man. He looks like a stray." Fingaz looked at Naruto which made D-Mob look at Fingaz with anger. "You don't trust me when I tell you something?"
"No man D, it's not what he was suggesting man. Sticky just wants to make sure the guy is valuable to the team. Look even if you two have known each other for a long time, how am I going to be confident with him having my back." Blaze replied trying to keep the conversation from escalating.
"He's got a point, there, David. If they want a demonstration I can give them one." Naruto told D-Mob who thought for a minute. "Alright fine, I'll set up a bout between you and my guy, House." He declared. "Blaze take him to one of our spots and make him settle in,"
"You got it, man. Come on." Blaze directed Naruto out the door. "What about me?" Fingaz questioned as D-Mob looked at him. "Exactly what about you?" D-Mob said bored.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just sit down and play your game, I need to make a couple calls." D-Mob headed to the back as Fingaz reluctantly sat down and continued playing single player.
Naruto's Hideout Apartment
12:35 AM
"And that's the end of the tour." Blaze stated as he and Naruto had finished a walk, around the place. "Sure it's not much, but seeing as the police will most likely be on the lookout for you, it'll keep you safe."
"I've been in worse, tell David I said thanks." The place had a very spacious living room, a conjoining kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. The bedroom had a closet and a master bed, which looked very new. "Oh yeah, D-Mob wanted me to give you this." Blaze took out a device from his pocket and handed it over to Naruto. "A T-Mobile Sidekick?" the blond questioned as Blaze nodded.
"Latest edition too." He smiled "I put in D-Mob and my number in it, just in case you want to make contact."
"I see…" he put it in his pocket as he bowed. "Thank you." He thanked Blaze who chuckled. "Oh it's nothing man, I'm gonna head out now, a'ight? In the morning head over to the Stapleton Gym over in Queens."
Naruto nodding watches as Blaze closed the door, heading over to his bed, the blond just sat down and looked up to the ceiling as the sound of sirens and helicopters filled the night sky. 'Not how I thought my night back would end up.' He thought as he faded to sleep.
