said, wiping away her tears.
âYeah, I understand,â Vanessa slurred.
Deep down inside Vanessa really loved Fresh, but she knew she would never be Freshâs number-one chick. She knew that she was playing herself by allowing him to have her and any other woman he wanted as well, but it was all in the game. She knew that he would never love her the way that she did him, so she took the little pieces of himself that he was willing to share. The lonely nights and broken promises were not enough to make her let him go. Fresh had gotten inside her head, which is why she put up with his shit. As Fresh put his clothes back on, she wished that he could stay, but she decided not to even make herself look stupid by asking.
âOkay, baby, be careful out there,â Vanessa said, kissing Fresh on his lips as she watched him walk out the door.
When he stepped foot out of Vanessaâs building he was met by Rusty and Pooh Bear.
Pooh Bear was a nineteen-year-old fat kid who would do anything if the price was right. He had been working for Fresh for a year and a half; he and Rusty were the only two loyal enforcers Fresh had left; everybody else were just workers and runners.
âPooh, whatâs popping?â Fresh asked, giving the young man dap.
âOut here chasing the dollar as usual,â Pooh replied.
âYo, Iâm going to need you to go to Queens and pick up that package Bamboo got waiting for me,â Fresh instructed.
âSay no more,â Pooh said as he walked to the corner to wave down a cab.
âYo, Iâm going to need you to do me a favor too,â Fresh said, looking at Rusty.
âI need you to go to 142 nd and Broadway and see why Papi and the rest of them Spanish muâfuckas are taking so long to come up with that paper. After you talk to them clowns hit me up and let me know whatâs good.â
âItâs already done, my nigga,â Rusty responded as the two men went their separate ways.

âDamn, I have to hurry up and find me a vic, Pop said to himself as he noticed the sun starting to go down. Once again, Pop was starving. He hadnât eaten anything all day, but to him this was a daily routine. It was the same struggles a different day.
As Pop sat on the bench thinking about his next move, he saw his dream girl walk past, looking sexy as usual. Her long brown hair hung down to her butt, with her bang barely touching her eyebrows, and to top it off her ass was so big it looked like two asses in one.
âThatâs my word, that girl is going to be my future wife,â Pop said to himself as he studied the Dominican girl as she walked through the projects to get to her building.
Popâs whole facial expression changed when he saw his dream girl stop and start talking to Fresh.
âDamn, that nigga got all the hoes,â Pop said, admiring the young street legend.
âWhat you doing getting in this late?â Fresh asked as he stopped Melissa in front of the building.
âNothing, I stayed after school for some extra credit,â Melissa answered. âIâm surprised youâre not upstairs with my sister,â she said, letting out a light chuckle.
âNah, Iâm about to head downtown in a minute, but tell Amanda Iâm going to call her later on tonight.â
âOkay, Iâll tell her. Be careful,â Melissa said as she headed into the building.
As soon as Pop was about to give up and go home, a miracle happened.
âExcuse me, do you know which building is 3758?â a middle-aged white man asked.
âYeah, itâs right there,â Pop said, pointing toward a building.
When the white guy looked to see which building the helpful young man was pointing to, Pop had already knocked him out with a sharp right hook to the temple.
He quickly searched through the white manâs pockets, until he found the manâs wallet.
âGood-looking fam,â Pop chuckled, stepping
