We’d been there for an hour or so, shooting some pool and drinking some beers while we waited for our usual Thursday acquaintance to make a long enough appearance to play a quick game and make a purchase. He was normally pretty punctual; hell, if you had a habit you had to be, pretty much. But even though my brother and I had showed up early, it was past the usual meeting time and the guy still hadn’t shown.
I took a shot and scratched, and then looked at the clock on my phone again, annoyed. My little brother Jay asked again what time it was.
“Ten-forty, already. Shit, where is that fucker?”
Jay shrugged as he positioned himself to take a shot, and said, “Maybe he’s goin’ somewhere else.”
No way, why would he? I couldn’t imagine someone else in our zone who was cutting better deals, or getting better quality stuff, for that matter. I said, “No dude, I think something must’ve happened”, my paranoia showing as I continued, “Man he better keep his fucking mouth shut if he got picked up!”
“No, Kev, you’re just being paranoid again. I’m sure he didn’t get busted, he’s way careful, you know.”
I tried to believe my little brother’s words but I knew something was up. He should’ve been here and gone by now. I went up to the bar and got two more beers, bringing them back to the pool table and handing one to Jay. I watched him make a bank shot with nearly perfect english, then said, “Well fuck, I’m not gonna wait all night. After this one let’s go.”
I’d already tried his cell phone a few times and gotten no answer. Just as it was my turn to take a shot, my phone rang. I grabbed it of my hip and checked the number. It was him.
“Hey man, where are you? We’ve, uh, been here a while now…”
As he spoke there was no doubt that he was stoned. His words slurred and it sounded like he’d just fixed ten minutes prior. I interrupted him as he was saying something like an apology for not showing and said, “Hey…you’re high right now. Where’d you get it, man.”
He hesitated before he went on, but I guess his judgment wasn’t so good at that point, and he told me. I had a hard time understanding what the fuck he was saying, between his sloppy speech and the fucking intense heat that filled my head as I fumed with the thought of losing this good deal to some fuckin’ punk.
He gave me the details I needed to know. I hung up quickly with him and downed what was left of my beer, and looked to Jay saying, “Let’s go, now.”
As we got in the car I gave Jay the story that the guy had just attempted to tell me, saying that there was a new punk who apparently wasn’t from around here that had some killa, that priced his shit like a wholesaler. I was so mad as I told my brother this, and then added that I had been told the vicinity of where this punk was staying. And that that was where we were going, right now. I was going to show this new asshole that he doesn’t just show up and jump in the middle of someone else’--especially mine’s—game. Jay protested a bit, not wanting to get into a situation.
“Look, Jay…the real situation will happen if we don’t make an example of this fuck. We’ll be fucking broke and robbing shit again. I can’t see that happening, dude, and I’m going to do what I can to prevent it.”
We drove down the street as we passes into another neighborhood, and I turned onto a popular main drag. The guy on the phone had said something about this punk hanging around the ABC liquor store. I slowed the car some as we went past it, but didn’t see anyone who matched the vague description I’d been given. Then I looked to the sidewalk, and a half block up from the liquor store’s lot, I saw him. I knew that was him, it had to be.
“There he is. Listen…we’re gonna act like we’re coppin’ ok? When I pull over tell him to get it, ok Jay?”
