"Can Yall like hurry up ?" Mari stood off to the side on the porch as Soovy, Duck and Eli put the bags in the cars.

We were all currently outside my house loading up the cars. We were supposed to been left for Louisiana at 10 in the morning but niggas decided to take a 9 hour nap at my house so here we are leaving for Louisiana at 11 hours later. I don't really give a fuck though, as long as I'm not driving, I'm coo.

"Come over here and help then if you gon' sit there and complain." Eli tilted his head at Mari. She quickly shook her head and sat down on the steps next to me.

"Lazy ass." He mumbled, walking back to the car.

We're taking two cars. Me, Soovy, Eli and Mari in one car and Rell and Duck in another. Duck and Rell knew exactly what they were doin putting Soovy and

Eli in a car together for a four hour drive. Truthfully we don't even need to be taking two cars but we're all carrying guns and we don't wanna have six people in one car together with eight unregistered guns 'cause if the feds pull us over, we're all sharing a cell.

But if we do get pulled over and 12 asks to check the car, we already know what to do.

"Here Duck." Eli handed him another hand gun.

"Nigga we said four in each car." Duck looked at him like he was stupid. Because he is.

"And? Yours is registered nigga it don't even count as one, take it." Duck shook his head and snatched the gun out of Eli's hand.

Soovy closed closing the trunk of one of the Benz we're taking. "Ight we're done, hurry the fuck up."

Mari stood up from the steps and dusted herself off, "Where Rell at?"

I realized he wasn't in either of the cars and I rolled my eyes. "Aye, someone go in the house and wake him up 'cause if I go back in that house he's dying." I

shrugged. I've been trying to wake his dumbass

up for the past 45 minutes.

"Ugh I'll go." Mari groaned, walking up the steps and back into the house.

"I already sent Eli the address to the hotel. If it's not too late when we get therE We can go check out the address Terris sent of Messiah's place and then we gon' actually air the shit out tomorrow ." Duck explained to Soovy while me and Eli listened.

"Aight." He nodded. "Y'all better not be makin' all those extra stops and shit either. It's already late." Soovy looked at me and Eli.

"Shit, you ain't talkin' to me. Eli's the one that be trying to stop at a gas station or a restaurant every 30 damn minutes."

"Yall remember when we drove to Tulsa? This nigga turned 7 hours into 13 'cause he wanted to eat every 5 minutes. Fat ass." Soovy shook his head referring to the time all five of us decided to drive to Oklahoma for a weekend for no reason.

"Mane fuck y'all! Im not finna wait for yall non-eating asses to get hungry. Whenever I wanna eat, we gon stop and eat, and if y'all don't like that you can always walk." Eli snapped before walking to the drivers side of the Benz.

Mari finally came out the house with Rell behind her who was rubbing his eyes."Finally! Shir."

"Uhn uhn, this man sleeps like he's dead. I thought his ass stopped breathing for a second too, I was boutta start making funeral arrangements and shit." She mumbled, walking to the Benz and getting in the backseat.

Rell and Duck got into the other car while me and Soovy got into ours. I sat in the back with Mari and Soovy sat in the front with Eli. Eli put the car in drive before putting it back in park and looking back at me.

"Wait what we gon' do if we get pulled over again?" He asked and I huffed. Duck explained it like 30 times already.

"We already talked about this nigga. They're not gonna check the car as long as they don't smell shit."

"But what if they do try to check the car?" Soovy turned around too.

"I already know how we're gonna hide the guns but if all else fails Eli's just gonna have to press the gas." I shrugged and Mari snapped her head towards me

"This is not GTA. I'm not going to jail because y'all are trying to smuggle all these unregistered ass guns into a different state." She crossed her arms over her chest. Slow ass lil' girl.

Soovy jerked his head back and pinched his eyebrows together, "Shorty, yo gun isn't registered

either."

"It is.. I think." She mumbled and I shook my head.

"Mari sweetheart, you're in a car with felons. If we go to jail, you're sure in the hell coming with us." Eli shrugged as he turned around and put the car

back in drive.

Mari sucked her teeth and put her head on my shoulder. Just to piss her off I tried pushing her head off of me, "Nah, getcho big head ass off of

me." I chuckled and she looked up at me like I was crazy.

"Boy.. fuck you." She pouted and moved to lean

against the window. Cry baby ass.

"I'm just playin girl, C'mere." I laughed at how mad she was. She be trynna act all tough but she's a big ass cry baby.

"No. I don't even wanna lay on yo ugly ass anymore, move." She smacked my hand away.

"We know I'm not ugly." I mumbled as she mugged the window.

"I'm finna pull into this gas station right quick." Eli said in the middle of our conversation.

"Why? We filled the tank before we even got to Mir's house." Soovy said, looking up from his phone.

"I know, I just want some to eat." He shrugged making the rest of us roll our eyes. He ate at my house and it hasn't even been a whole hour yet.

"Someone let Duck or Rell know we stoppin'." Eli said as he pulled into the gas station. Mari pulled her phone out to text them.

Duck and Rell pulled in behind us. Eli went into the gas station while Soovy went over to Duck and Rell's car to join their rotation.

"Baby." Mari called me as I stepped out the car. "Waddup?"

"Can you carry me? My legs fell asleep." She poked her bottom lip out and I rolled my eyes.

"We only been in the car for like 45 minutes shorty." I sighed and turned around to let her get on my back.

I carried her into the store and walked around the aisles picking up the shit she wanted since her arms were wrapped around my neck

Got me feeling like a slave and shit..

We paid for our stuff and got back into the cars. Mari got situated in the backseat, putting both of her legs in my lap and laying her head on my shoulder. She opened up a bag of Barbecue chips and fed me with her while Eli got back into the car to continue driving.

"Who phone that is?" Eli pulled out of the gas station as someones phone started ringing.

Soovy picked his phone up from the cup holder and sucked his teeth showing Eli the caller ID. Eli chuckled and shook his head before looking back at the road.

"Man, what the fuck is it now?" Soovy asked, putting the phone on speaker so we could hear.

"Who?" A female voice asked through the phone making Mari adjust her head on my shoulder to listen. Nosy ass.

"Who what?" Soovy groaned.

"Who the fuck are you talkin to Trayvion 'cause it ain't me!" The girl said through the phone. Me, Eli and Mari started chuckling while Soovy rubbed his temples. My nigga going through it and judging by the squeaky voice I already know who it is.

"What do you need?" He rolled his eyes as if she could see him.

"I wanna know why my homegirl sent me a picture of you at some bitch house last we-"

"Don't start this shit, Shaila. I don't got the energy for it today. I already told you what it was so stop acting slow. We not together. I can do whatever the fuck I want, I'ma whole grown ass man." He emphasized.

"I don't give a fuck bout you bein grown! It's about the constant back and forth. What do you think yo son gon-"

"Don't bring my son in shit! Juel gon' always be straight regardless of how you feel about me. You just childish as fuck yo. Every time we get in an argument you be trynna keep my child away from me and shit. Little do you know, you're only

hurting him." He went off on her.

I just shook my head 'cause he definitely wasn't lying. His babymomma is always trynna pin some shit on him to keep his son away from him 'cause she

don't want him messing with anyone else— even though he be tellin her ass that they aren't together. But she's just jealous and don't wanna see him with anyone else even though Soovy doesn't bring his son around any of the girls he be fucking on.

She's just bitter as fuck to me. Want that nigga to be a deadbeat so bad, knowing Soovy loves his son more than life itself.

I met her a few times and when she's not arguing with Soovy she could be coo. I'ma just always have a bad impression of her because of the shit she does and says to Soovy. Trynna make him seem like a bad

father and shit. That nigga ain't no fuckin' deadbeat and she knows it.

"Boy fuck you! I should do some foul shit like fuck on yo daddy or sum just because." She mumbled and we bussed out laughing. She's random as fuck.

"Yea aight. When you see him tell him it doesn't take 22 years to go to the store." He said and hung up before she could respond. Eli damn near swerved off the road cause he was laughing so hard.

"Yo babymomma is a trip!" Eli dragged, trynna catch his breath.

"She a walking headache is what the fuck she is."

"I didn't even know you had a son, Soovy. How old is he?" Mari asked.

"He just turned three, and you probably ain't know 'cause his dumbass momma always trynna keep him from me." He shook his head.

"You wanna see a picture?" He asked her and she quickly nodded. He took his phone out and clicked on a picture before reaching to the back to show Mari,

"It's a old picture but that's Jeulz." He smiled as Mari cooed.

"Aww! He is soo cute!" Mari cooed, staring at the picture. She better not get any ideas.

"He looks just you too." She chuckled, handing him the phone back.

"Yea, thats my lil' twin." Soovy laughed, looking at the picture.

"You gotta bring him over one day. I miss his lil' bad ass." I leaned back on the seat and Eli nodded.

Juel a whole copy of Soovy foreal. He walks and talks like him, uses Soovy's lingo, and he acts just like him other than the fact that he'll barely talk sometimes. I've known Soovy since we were seven years old so I know how he used to act when we were younger and I can tell that Juel is taking after him fasho.

"I got y'all whenever his momma stop playin' with me." He chuckled

Mari was asleep, sitting on my lap with her head in the crook of my neck. I had one arm wrapped around her back while I scrolled through Instagram with my other hand. I'm definitely uncomfortable as fuck but

i'm not finna move or wake her up 'cause I know she's tired.

"You a fuckin' dumbass." Eli told Soovy while they argued about whatever it was this time. They argue about something new every 15 minutes.

"I'm not dumb nigga. I'm just not fuckin' no one with saggy pussy lip-"

"Aye, what the fuck are y'all arguing about?" I cut Soovy off before he could finish that stupid ass sentence.

"Soovy sayin' he wouldn't fuck anyone with loose pus-"

"Nah man, y'all niggas weird." I shook my head and continued scrolling on my phone, trynna tune out their argument.

"Fuck ever." Eli mumbled. He swerved to another lane agressive as fuck making the other cars on the highway honk at him.

"Nigga are you trynna kill us?" Soovy yelled at him making Mari start stirring in her sleep.

"Eli you driving like you don't love yo life." I shook my head.

"But I love mine so stop." Soovy glared at him.

Before Eli could respond we started hearing police sirens in the near distance and we all started cussing. He kept driving hoping that the police wasn't after us but of course they were.

"Damn!" Soovy cussed, looking through the rear view mirror to see the blue and red lights gradually getting closer.

"Just pull over, Eli." I huffed and looked down at Mari who was finally awake and rubbing her eyes.

"We gettin pulled over mama, sit up." I tapped her thigh and she sucked her teeth before taking her legs off of my lap. She faced forward with her elbows on her knees looking mad as fuck. Eli done woke up a whole demon.

Eli finally pulled over and turned off the engine as the officer got out of his car and started making his way towards the drivers side. The car was dead silent before the white officer tapped on Eli's window, signaling him to roll it down which he did.

"Sir, is there a reason you're goin 90 in a 75?" He leaned down against the window. I'm praying Eli doesn't say any stupid shit 'cause i'm not trying to die right now.

"Uh, my bad?" He said hesitantly and I sucked my teeth. Slow ass.

The police officer studied everyones faces as best as he could since the car was dark. He looked back at Eli, "Can I see your licenses and registration, please?"

Eli gave him his license and asked if he could reach over and get the registration from the console 'cause he knows how these white officers get. The officer nodded and we were all silently praying that a gun

didn't accidentally fall out the console cause Eli is unpredictable as hell.

He took the registration from Eli, "Sit tight." He said and looked in the car weirdly before walking away.

"Fuck he staring like that for?" Soovy asked lowly, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Hollon hollon." Mari sat up right. "Did y'all smoke?" She asked. Me and Soovy shook our heads. I hadn't smoked since we left the house two hours ago and Soovy only took a few hits from Duck when we first went to the gas station which was over an hour ago.

"Shittt, I smoked when we pulled into Cane's.." Eli scratched the back of his neck.

"Nigga how long ago was that? 'Cause I can still smell it." Mari squinted at him through the mirror.

I guess me and Soovy didn't really pay attention or even notice the smell since we've been awake in this car the whole time.

"That's why he was looking like that nigga. He smelt that shit!" Soovy smacked Eli's chest.

"Shut up he comin'!" I said lowly, seeing the officer make his way back to the car. We all got quiet again as he approached the car with a flashlight in hand.

"Listen, I'm going to have to ask you four to step out the car because I do smell Marijuana." He said and I sighed.

Fucking great.

I stared at Eli hoping he would say the right thing to buy us some time cause if he finds all these guns we're going to jail for more than just weed.

"Ight thats coo.. can I get my licenses and registration back first?" He asked since the officer didn't have it in his hand.

Slow ass cracker. How do you forget to give the man his licenses and registration back?

"Oh, I'll get that for you." He said and walked his fat ass away.

I quickly told Mari to reach under the seat and slide the black duffel bag out. I took the black plastic bag we had gotten from the gas station when we bought our food and put all the guns in there leaving the duffle bag empty.

"Who has the weed?" Mari rushed, panic washing over her face. Soovy opened the middle compartment and threw her a small bag and she stuffed it in her bra.

I slid the black duffle bag back under the seat and took Mari's barbecue chips and put it in the plastic bag to cover the guns. The officer walked back to Eli's window and told us to step out the car which we did. I held the black plastic bag in my hand while we stood on the side of the road looking like some hitchhikers.

"Y'all make sure you're watchin that white bitch. Iom want him planting shit in the car." Eli mumbled as we watched the cop search the car. Soovy was texting Duck and Rell telling them we got pulled over.

The officer bent over to search under the seats. Me, Soovy, and Eli looked the other away cause we were not 'bout to stare at this mans ass.

"Damn. He got a fat ass." Mari mumbled and I looked at her like she was dumb.

"What's this?" The officer turned around, holding up the empty duffle bag.

'That's my gym bag." Mari quickly said and he nodded putting it back. Slow as fuck.

After a good 15 minutes of looking through the car, he still couldn't find shit. He turned around and looked at me and noticed the bag I was holding,"Did you take that bag out of the car?"

"Yea, so?" I shrugged. He walked towards me, clearly about to take the bag out of my hand but I took the chips out the bag and showed him. He backed up feeling dumb as hell.

"Oh okay.. well you all have a good night. Sorry about that." He gave us a head nod before walking back to his car. He really is slow as fuck.

We got back into the car and I waited 'till the officer drove off to put the guns right back where they were.

"His slow ass was trynna so hard to find something." Eli shook his head, starting the car back up again.

"Deadass, just wasted a good 20 minutes of our lives for nothing."

"Can I have my marijuana, Mari ?" Soovy mocked the officer and I laughed. She took the bag out of her bra and flung it at him.

"Preciate it." He put the bag back where it was. Mari got back comfortable on my lap, burying her head back in my neck.

"You still tired?" I asked her lowly and she nodded. She started pecking my neck and I held back a groan knowing damn well that's my weak spot.

I wonder if this back seat is wide enough to fuck on.
