“We’ll keep that in mind, Capp.” I chuckled, because the nigga was serious as he rubbed his daughter’s back.
“I’m happy for you, Pop.” My father stood, holding his hand out and pulled me into a hug, kissing my cheek. “Another Inferno wedding on the beach.”
“Me and Sug was first… just saying.”
“Chill, I ain’t even asked and she ain’t even said yes.”
Cappadonna and Blaze both broke out laughing. “Nigga, she saying yes… she followed us to a job, and was prepared to lose her shit.”
I shook my head and headed back outside. Blair was putting a fake tattoo on Elijah’s arm. He already had a full sleeve on one arm, and she was putting the other one on. My phone buzzed in my pocket as Elijah ran across the street to show Ryder, who had finally got off the bounce house.
“Look, my arms look like yours, Sim.” I held his arm and checked it out, nodding my head in approval.
“Big Eli… I like em.”
My phone buzzed again, and I picked it up this time. “Yo.”
“CV’s about to come through the block.” Kincaid said, and I looked up and saw Capri riding side by side with Kiki as they both signaled letting me know some shit was coming. Blaze swaggered out the barbershop in time to catch Capri’s signal and nodded his head, crossing the street and hopping on his bike. He spun the bike around, and was right behind his wife, as they spun the block.
As I was about to call Blair to come back over this way, I turned my head and saw a fucking viper on a bike. Three bikes slowed down, as I used my hand and made sure Elijah and Ryder were behind me, while my eye remained on Anjo. Her eyes locked in with mine, as I turned to watch them riding down the block slowly. There were kids on the block, so shit was limited, and they knew it from how slow they rode past us.
I slowly slid my finger across my nose and lifted up my shirt, showing that I was still packing. All the Gods did the same, as they looked on. I made sure Elijah and Ryder were behind me.
“Is everything okay?”
“Whenever Uncle Simmy and Daddy tell us something it’s important for us to listen. All my God uncles will protect us, and Uncle Simmy tells them what to do… don’t be scared of his gun. It’s to protect us, even my daddy and Suga mama have one.”
I listened to Ryder as I kept my eyes trained on them niggas. The first bike stopped right where Blair was, and I gave Yasin the look and he took the kids. I bolted across the street, as Blair slapped his hands away from her. When he saw me coming for him, he quickly took off. I grabbed my baby and pulled her behind me as I watched the others follow behind him.
I heard motorcycles again and saw Capri riding behind those Chrome pussies, making sure they got off the block. Blaze was beside her, and I saw my sis with her gun at her side, away from where Ryder and Elijah could see. Blaze had his out on the opposite side too, while Kiki and Havoc followed behind them.
The triplets fell in behind them, as they rode them off the block. “Get ‘em off this block before I do some shit, I may regret in front of my niece and Elijah.” I told Kincaid, my blood boiling and my vision blurring because I was so angry.
Whenever Capri rode her bike, she wore her helmet or a skull mask. She was a district attorney and couldn’t be seen riding with the IG’s. She had to conceal her identity like Forty did. If you didn’t know the markings of her bike and helmet, then you wouldn’t have known it was her.
Blaze saluted. “Riding them niggas out the fucking city… get my daughter home.” Blaze increased speed.
“Suga mama!” Ryder yelled.
Capri held her finger to the mouth of her helmet, as she signaled that, she kissed her two fingers and put them on her heart, Ryder returning the gesture. She took off behind her husband, bending the corner behind the rest of them.
“Baby, I need you to be careful… what the fuck was that about? Coming into known IG territory. He’s losing it… I want you to be careful.”
I kissed her lips. “Nah… he ain’t seen how the fuck I lose it.”
Taking her hand, I walked her to her truck, and then got Elijah and Ryder. Cappadonna and Capone already put their kids in his truck.
The rest of the IG’s were already on guard and got on their bikes. My father saluted, as I hopped in the truck, and pulled off the block. No sooner than I pulled away from the curb, all the IG’s and Reapers surrounded both my and Cappadonna’s trucks as we left the block.
Blair turned around. “You guys good?”
“Were those bad guys, Ms. Blair?” She looked over at me to see how she should answer the question.
“Elijah and Ryder… listen to me. Do you know what a viper is?” I asked, as I stared at them through the rearview mirror.
“Yes. A snake.” Elijah answered and Ryder nodded in agreement.
“If you ever see a viper on a motorcycle, they’re the enemy.” I paused and looked at my future wife, Ryder, and Elijah. “We’re Infernos… we don’t associate with Vipers… understood?”
