       Marcus opened his eyes as the sound of birds chirping filled his
       ears. On instinct, he shielded the blazing sun from blinding
       him. He sat up slowly with a groan and looked around, realizing
       he was in a park.
       ??. Bout time you got your ass up, boy.
       Without pause, Marcus turned and saw his father, DeWayne,
       sitting on a park bench with his childhood pet, a black lab
       named Smoke.
       Marcus. Pop?
       DeWayne. Thought you was gon' make me wait forever for you.
       Marcus. The fuck you doing here? Or...I guess a better question
       is where am I?
       DeWayne. My Heaven.
       Marcus dusted himself off and sat next to DeWayne on the park
       bench, petting Smoke.
       Marcus. Am I dead?
       DeWayne. Your ass should be. But, no. You're not. How you been,
       son?
       Marcus. I'm okay. Me and Monica making it, the kids are--
       DeWayne. Aht aht. I said you.
       Marcus looked at DeWayne and shrugged.
       DeWayne. Yeah, I know you don't know. You scaring the hell outta
       your family, boy. That fucked up lifestyle you're living.
       Marcus. Pop, I left that life a while ago.
       DeWayne. Maybe so, but you left it to Amiyah and MJ to pick up.
       Them kids bout to run themselves in the grave because they're
       trying to live up to you and Monica. Especially MJ. That boy is
       you made over, and he's going down the same road as you.
       Marcus. He's fine. He's smart, Pop. Smart as fuck.
       DeWayne. And making the dumbest decisions he can possibly make.
       Like him and Amiyah fighting over that boy she's seeing.
       Marcus shook his head with a smile.
       DeWayne. Now why she can't see that boy?
       Marcus. Because he's too visible, Pop.
       DeWayne. Exactly. He's too visible for you and Marcus because
       your focus isn't on family or happiness or love. It's on them
       damn streets. Yeah, y'all are fine with having people in your
       lives. As long as they know the streets come first. I don't know
       where me and your mama went wrong with you.
       Marcus. Y'all didn't do anything, Pop. Y'all went hard for me
       and my brothers and sisters. I just...I don't know.
       DeWayne. Look at me, son.
       Marcus looked at his father, feeling like he was a little boy
       again.
       DeWayne. The streets are gon' kill all y'all in one way or
       another, if you let it. I'm not there no more to talk sense into
       anybody, but you are. You and them knucklehead friends of yours.
       You're OG's now, y'all got the power to set them kids straight.
       Marcus. They got their own hustle, Pop. They ain't doing it like
       us. They're not hands on, they're not getting themselves dirty.
       DeWayne. You know like I know it's only a matter of time before
       the empire falls. Them kids are young and full of ideas, but
       they got more than enough. Get them out now before it gets too
       messy.
       Marcus. Is something coming?
       DeWayne stood up as Smoke jumped from the bench.
       DeWayne. Something's always coming, Marcus. That's the way of
       the world.
       The sounds of the park began to fade, then the color, then the
       scenery. Marcus' ears filled with frantic hospital staff. He
       fell from the bench...everything went black...
       ...Marcus eyes fluttered open to the bright lights of his
       hospital room. He groaned softly and, almost immediately, felt
       hands on him.
       JoJo. Grandpa?
       Marcus' eyes fell on Josiah and he smiled weakly.
       Marcus. Wassup, Youngblood?
       Monica. Marcus, thank God. You scared the hell out of us.
       Marcus. I'm okay, mama.[/center]

       Monica. Thank You for another prayer answered Lord...
       Monica walked over to Josiah, so he could stand on a chair to
       look at his Grandpa. Her nerves had been wrecked since she got
       that call, and she was just now starting to feel a little relief
       since he was awake and talking. She had been trying to keep
       everyone else sane, but she was afraid of losing her husband.
       During the surgery, his heart stopped beating, and he had been
       out for the last 4 hours.
       Monica. I should kick your ass...
       Josiah. Bad word..
       Monica looked at Josiah.
       Monica. Sorry..
       Marcus. I know you was worried.....
       Monica. Worried? Baby. Your heart stopped... I almost died
       too...
       Marcus. Well... Its back workin again.. We aint done yet..
       He gave her another weak smile and she smiled slightly back at
       him and she touched the side of his face gently.
       Monica. I love you...
       Marcus. I love you back..
       Monica she took another deep breath as she continued to maintain
       her strength without tearing up.
       Marcus. Where the kids?
       Monica. Everyone is in the waiting room.... JoJo insisted that
       he come with me to see you though..
       Monica picked up Josiah from the chair and put him back on the
       ground.
       Monica. I'll go tell them you're awake. Alright?

       MJ sat in the waiting room, holding Aaliyah close to him as he
       thought about the million and one ways his father could have
       been shot. He snapped from his thoughts when he felt a hand on
       his shoulder. He looked over and saw Keva looking at him.
       Keva. Are you okay?
       MJ. I'm cool, thank you for coming up here. I'll get you back to
       your car.
       Keva. Don't worry, this was more important.
       The ER doors slid open and a frantic Amiya rushed in.
       Amiya. Oh my God, have you heard anything?
       MJ. He made it outta surgery fine, mama and Josiah back there
       with him.
       Amiya paused when she seen Keva.
       MJ. This Keva, me and her was in a business meeting when I got
       the call. Keva, this my sister Amiya.
       Keva. Very nice to meet you.
       Amiya. You, too.
       The elevator doors opened and Monica stepped off, holding
       Josiah's hand.
       Josiah. Mommy!
       Josaiah ran to Amiya and she scooped him up, hugging him
       tightly. MJ stood up, and Keva stood next to him.
       Monica. He woke up, he's fine. Is everybody else coming?
       MJ. I called Uncle Dre and Auntie Tasia. Texted the crew,
       everybody is on the way.
       MJ watched as his mother nodded, folding her arms. He stepped to
       her an dpulled her into a hug.
       Monica. We almost lost him.
       MJ. Yeah, but we didn't. Pops a G like that.
       MJ kissed her head.
       MJ. This is Keva, a new business partner.[/center]

       Andre sped through traffic as his mind raced with thoughts of
       his brother being shot. He couldn't remember the last time an
       attempt was made on any of them and the reality of Marcus'
       shooting caused him to rethink his own life, but it also made
       him want to make the streets bleed.
       He pulled into the hospital parking lot and parked his car. As
       he got out, he made his way into the building. He pulled out his
       phone as he was about to pass a nurse.
       Andre. Excuse me miss? My brother Marcus Greer is here... Can
       you...
       The nurse cut him off.
       Nurse. Marcus Greer was in surgery on the 5th floor when the
       last person came in asking.
       Andre nodded and walked away from the nurse as he sent a text to
       his friend.
       Andre.:. I can't make our sit down tonight.. Something came up,
       but I'll call you later..
       He slid his phone back in his pocket and proceeded to the
       elevator.
       ... Once he made it to the waiting room, he saw a few folks had
       already arrived. He walked over to Amiya and MJ and hugged the
       both of them, and he showed loved to Aaliyah and Josiah.
       Andre. How yall doing? Yall heard anything?
       MJ. He's up..
       Andre watched as a young woman approached MJ.
       ??. Hey, I'm going to go ahead leave... Calvin is on his way to
       pick me up... Your dad will remain in my prayers though..
       MJ nodded.
       MJ. Thank you..
       Andre watched as the girl left out of the waiting room and Andre
       looked at MJ.
       MJ. A new business partner.. We was finishing up when I got the
       call..
       Andre nodded as he felt a touch on his shoulder.. He turned
       around to see Monica and he hugged her.
       Andre. Monica.. How are you?
       Monica. I'm making it...
       Andre. How's Marcus?
       Monica. He's awake and talking...
       Andre. Yall need anything?

       Jamal. You gonna be okay?
       Jamal parked and looked over at his twin brother.
       DeAndre. What you mean?
       Jamal. First time we're gon' be in the same room as mama and
       daddy. If you can't handle it, we can leave before it--
       DeAndre. I'm good, let's just go check on Unc.
       Jamal took his keys and they walked into the ER waiting room.
       They walked in just as their father was releasing from his hug
       on their aunt Monica.
       Andre. Y'all need anything?
       Monica. We're good. Hey, you two.
       Jamal. Hey, auntie.
       Jamal hugged Monica, then Andre.
       Jamal. Any news?
       Monica. He's out of the woods. He's awake and alert.
       Jamal. Have the police been here yet?
       MJ. Of course they haven't.
       Jamal walked to MJ.
       Jamal. You gotta remain calm here, bro. At least Uncle Blu is
       good.
       Andre. Monica, how many times was he shot?
       Monica. Twice. One in the chest, one in the arm.
       Jamal watched as MJ stared at the floor, his mind preoccupied.
       He put his hand on his shoulder.
       Jamal. This isn't Brandy, Marcus.
       MJ. It coulda been. I coulda been mourning all over.
       Amiya. But, you're not. Daddy is fine.

       Nichelle took deep breaths in her car, hands shaking at the
       thought of being in the hospital. She reached into her middle
       console and pulled out a pill bottle, dumping two into her hand
       before popping them into her mouth. She felt herself settle and
       she grabbed her purse before getting out of the car...
       ...Nichelle walked into the ER and her phone vibrated in her
       purse. She stopped short of entering the waiting room and pulled
       it out, looking at the text message.
       Carla.:. The girls are missing you at movie night.
       Nichelle.:. I know. I'll make it up to them next week, I
       promise.
       Carla.:. Let us know how Marcus is.
       Nichelle.:. I will.
       Nichelle stepped into the waiting room to the inviting faces of
       her sons, who were standing closest to the door.
       DeAndre. Hey, ma.
       Nichelle. Hey, you.
       She hugged him, shaking her head.
       Nichelle. I still can't believe how big you got while you were
       in there. Hey, Mal.
       Jamal. Hey.
       The twins kissed her cheeks and she made her way to Monica,
       passing Andre, and hugged her shouders.
       Monica. Thank you for coming.
       Nichelle. You know I wasn't going to let you go through this
       alone.
       Monica. Oh, shit, tonight was your group meeting.
       Nichelle. It's fine, I swear. How are you?
       Monica. I'm okay now, knowing he's good.
       Nichelle. Tasia said she would be up here later, her and Xayvion
       were in a meeting they couldn't get out of right away.
       Nichelle sat down with Monica.
       Monica. You're just not going to speak to him, huh?
       Nichelle. I'm not here for that right now.[/center]

       Amiya looked at MJ and she could tell he was going through the
       same pain from losing Brandy all over again. Losing Brandy was a
       hit to everyone's heart, and she realized they weren't as
       untouchable as she thought. But now that she'd almost lost her
       father, she was over letting the police handle it... The first
       man she'd ever loved was almost taken from her.
       She thought back to when she'd gotten that painful call from MJ,
       and she left the shop immediately.  Even though they'd had their
       disagreements, she still loved her family with everything she
       had, and she was going to protect them at all costs.
       Amiya. MJ.. I already know how you feel.. Trust me..
       Before she could get out another word, she saw her Aunt Tasia,
       Uncle Xay and her cousins all approaching the waiting room. They
       spoke to her Aunt and Uncle then Olivia and Xavier gave them
       hugs.
       Olivia. How's Unc doing?
       Amiya. Ma said he's awake and alert so...
       Xavier looked at MJ.
       Xavier. Say man..
       MJ glanced at Xavier as DeAndre walked up. Before she knew it
       she was standing with the crew and they all had the same look.
       Just then Monica walked up.
       Monica. What are yall doing?
       She looked at MJ and MJ glanced back at her.. Just then Amiya's
       phone rang and she pulled it out seeing Joshua pop up on her
       phone with a picture they'd taken. She saw that MJ and her mom
       were still looking at each other so she dipped out of the group
       to take her call.. After she'd walked a couple feet away, she
       answered.
       Amiya. Hello?
       Josh. Hey.. How's.. How's everything going with your dad?
       Amiya. Shit. -sigh- I'm sorry.. I did forget to call you.... Its
       just...
       Josh. It's okay.. I know you got a lot going on... I was just
       tryna check on you.. I really wanna be there with you..
       Amiya thought for a moment. She had so many crazy thoughts going
       on that she couldn't let them out.
       Amiya. It's okay.. I'm okay... I just.. I just don't
       understand... -sigh- He's stable and everything though...
       Josh. Well that's good... But you just gotta trust God..
       Amiya nodded as she continued to stare at her mother and
       brother.
       Amiya. Yeahh.. I trust Him..
       She saw Monica call her name and wave her back.
       Monica. Amiya!
       Amiya. Hey.. I gotta go.. I'll call you later alright?
       Josh. Alright.
       Amiya. You gon be up?
       She smiled a little bit as she heard him laugh slightly.
       Josh. Yeah.. I'll be up..
       Amiya smirked slightly as they said their goodbyes and she
       walked back over to the group.
       Monica. Your daddy wants to see yall..
       Amiya nodded as she took a deep breath preparing herself to see
       her dad hooked up to machines.

       Marcus put his water down on the tray, taking deep breaths.
       There was a light knock on the door before it popped open and in
       walked in Monica with their kids in tow. He smiled when he saw
       them.
       Marcus. Aw, you been crying, babygirl?
       Amiya. Duh.
       Amiya rushed to his side, hugging him. He kissed her temple and
       hugged her as tight as he could.
       Marcus. I'm okay, sweetie.
       Amiya. You sure?
       Marcus. I'm built outta steel, girl, they ain't gon get me that
       easily.
       Marcus' eyes landed on his namesake as he stared at the wall
       next to Marcus.
       Marcus. Cmere, boy.
       MJ walked to Marcus and they hugged each other.
       MJ. You sure you feeling okay?
       Marcus. I'm fine. Just wanted to see my kids.
       MJ. You know who did it?
       Marcus looked at MJ and seen the look of determination and anger
       that he'd grown accustomed to. It was the look his parents said
       he was born with, and the look his father always said he passed
       on to his son.
       Marcus. No, I don't.
       MJ. I'ma find out who.
       Marcus. Don't you go doin' no crazy shit, son.
       MJ. Them niggas tried to take you out, Pops.
       Marcus. They didn't.
       MJ. They tried. It's the principle.
       Marcus sighed.
       Marcus. I guess what I want to say ain't gon mean much, then...
       They all looked at Marcus.
       Marcus. I want all of y'all to leave the game behind.

       MJ scoffed loudly.
       MJ. Ain't happening.
       Marcus. Why not?
       MJ. Because, Pop. I got shit to accomplish.
       Marcus. You got the barbershop.
       MJ. That shop ain't make me a millionaire.
       MJ pulled his phone from his pocket.
       Marcus. You got a daughter, MJ.
       MJ. You had a daughter and a son. What's the difference?
       Marcus. You not me.
       MJ cut his eyes at his father.
       MJ. You saying I can't handle it?
       Monica. MJ...
       Marcus. It's okay, Mo.
       MJ. Look, Amiya can do what she please just like everybody else
       can. But, it's too much money on the table for me to walk away.
       I got stuff I'm trying to accomplish, I'm gon put Aaliyah in
       college. No way. Ain't happening.[/center]

       Amiya looked between her brother and her father while she was
       still trying to put it all together. "Quit?"
       Moinca. Aaliyah will get to college MJ..
       MJ. You aint hearing me ma... She gotta be set. All the way set.
       Monica looked at MJ and Amiya broke the silence.
       Amiya. You can't move by yourself MJ.. We a team..
       MJ. We?! All yo fuckin attention is probably what got us here in
       the first place..
       Amiya. You not serious right now..... You sayin this my fault?
       MJ. Folks walking up on me.. They probably got eyes on pop too.
       Amiya. You don't get to blame this on me.. I'm not gon let you.
       This shit aint my fault. And you know it!
       MJ. Man. Whatever..
       Amiya glared at MJ as Marcus looked at all of them.
       Monica. Yall. Calm down.
       She sighed slightly.
       Monica. Your father is fine.. And he's alright and he's right
       too... Them damn streets don't love nobody.. And now aint the
       time for yall to be arguing or doing no stupid shit.
       Marcus. And I'm asking yall.... Leave it alone.
       Amiya looked at Marcus as MJ glanced at he and Monica.
       MJ. I'm glad you alright pops..
       MJ hugged Marcus again then kissed Monica and Amiya on their
       cheeks. Without another word he'd left the room.
       Amiya sighed looked at her parents.
       Amiya. This aint my fault yall... Right?
       She looked between her parents as the guilt and the weight of
       MJ's words set in. "Maybe I am making us too visible.."

       Marcus. No, Amiya. You being with that dude doesn't help, but it
       didn't cause this.
       Monica. We're not getting into that again. Not right now.
       Marcus. This world is just a different world. Kids these days
       don't give a shit. Broad daylight, in front of anybody and
       everybody.
       Amiya. Daddy...
       Marcus looked at Amiya.
       Amiya. You really want us to give it up?
       Marcus. I want y'all to be better than me. I didn't realize
       raising y'all in that chaos would rub off on y'all, but having
       grandkids and knowing how it can have an impact, I don't want
       them raised like y'all. That's all.

       MJ walked into the waiting room and headed toward the double
       doors. He made his way outside and toward his car when he heard
       his name being called.
       DeAndre. MJ! Hol' up, nigga!
       MJ stopped, breathing hard as DeAndre put his hand on his
       shoulder.
       DeAndre. Don't do it, bro.
       MJ. My fuckin father almost died, DeAndre.
       DeAndre. I know.
       MJ. They took my woman, now they trying to take my dad?! And
       where the fuck is the police in all this shit?! They asses ain't
       been up here! Ain't nobody gon' investigate it?! Why?! Because
       it's Marcus Greer?!
       DeAndre. It's fucked up.
       MJ. You damn right it's fucked up and if they ain't gon' find
       these clowns, I am!
       MJ took another step toward his car and scoffed.
       MJ. Pops talking bout leave the game and shit. Can you believe
       that shit?[/center]

       Amiya sighed as she thought about what her dad was saying. She
       felt MJ when he said he wanted Aaliyah to be set, because that's
       why she went so hard for everything she had. Ever since Josiah
       was born, if it didn't make dollars then it didn't make sense to
       her, but she also knew how the game would chew people up and
       spit them out. She always made sure to cross her T's and dot her
       I's so she wouldn't be a casualty. She also knew the game wasn't
       a career, it was a hustle.
       Amiya. Jo and Liyah won't be like me and MJ.. -sigh- They'll be
       better versions of us too...
       Before she could finish her thoughts, there was a soft bang at
       the door and then Josiah walked in rubbing his eyes.
       Amiya. Hey fatz. You sleepy?
       Josiah nodded and Aaliyah began to stir in Monica's arms and get
       fussy.
       Monica. I bet she's sleepy too..
       Amiya. Yeahh. I'll take both of them home and lay em down so you
       can be here. I know you're not going home even if we tell you...
       Monica smirked slightly as glanced at Marcus then back at Amiya
       while she bounced Aaliyah to calm her.
       Monica. I'll help you get them to the car..
       Amiya nodded.
       Amiya. We'll be back tomorrow to check on you daddy..
       Marcus. I'll be alright..
       Amiya shook her head and she picked up Josiah putting him on her
       hip. She kissed her father's forehead and Marcus told his
       grandkids goodnight before they exited the room.

       DeAndre sighed and shook his head. He had been thinking a lot
       about life lately, and he had been doing his best to do right,
       but it was harder than he thought. Especially now that his uncle
       was laying in a hospital bed. Before he could respond, DeAndre
       watched as a familiar face parked in front of the hospital and
       got out. He'd recognized the guy from around the way and he
       shook his head.
       D2. Na.. I aint think Unc would ever say it.. But 12 here now..
       MJ looked around as the detective approached them.
       Bryant. Well if it isn't Lil Dre and Lil Marcus.. Yall still
       causing problems in my city? Running around like your dads?
       MJ glared at the detective for a moment.
       MJ. You the only muthafucka they sent?
       Bryant. I'm the best muthafucka they got... Yall been staying
       out of trouble?
       D2. We dont know shit about what happened..
       Bryant. Yall never know what the fuck happened.. That's why I'm
       the only muthafucka here..
       MJ. Well go do yo fuckin job and investigate.. Aint that what my
       tax payer dollars going for.
       Bryant smirked at them then turned on his heels taking his time
       walking toward the hospital.
       Bryant. See yall around..
       DeAndre turned back toward MJ and looked at him. They made eye
       contact for a moment then MJ proceeded to his car. DeAndre was
       right behind him and he eventually found himself in the
       passenger seat as they pulled off. The car was silent without
       even the radio until MJ broke the silence.
       MJ. He want me to leave this shit alone, but I'm not leaving
       this shit alone. They gon feel me now... I'm tired of waiting..
       I'm not gon sit still no more.
       DeAndre continue to listen to MJ as he continued.
       MJ. They took my woman and they gon try to take my dad too? Ima
       see them niggas.. They day coming.. Shit this might be they
       night.
       DeAndre nodded and the car went silent for a moment then DeAndre
       finally spoke.
       D2. You know I got you nigga.. From the cradle to the grave..
       The car went silent again as they turned on another street and
       passed a couple of crack heads. DeAndre recognized one of them
       as his old bus driver that used to brag about having "white
       girls" for sale.
       D2. Damn.. It's a lot of niggas that dont make it out... Nigga
       fell victim to his own hustle...The other ones are dead or in
       jail..
       DeAndre shook his head as MJ glanced over at him.
       MJ. You sounding like everybody else nigga..
       DeAndre looked over at MJ and shook his head.
       D2. Na.. Jail just sat me down for a lil bit.. Had me thinking.
       Had old schools in my ear and shit..... You know I got a son
       man?
       MJ looked over at DeAndre then back at the road.
       MJ. Word?
       DeAndre nodded.
       D2. I aint have shit to live for until him man... And the first
       2 and a half years of his life I aint know shit about him.. I
       still feel bad about that shit..
       MJ. That's fucked up... She aint tell you?
       DeAndre shrugged a bit.
       D2. She don't want him to be like me.. In the streets and
       shit... She dont want me to be a bad influence on him...
       MJ. -smirk- Shit.. I bet that lil nigga already hell...
       DeAndre nodded with a slight smirk.
       D2. He tough fasho... But... -sigh- Iono..
       DeAndre looked over at MJ as he went in his pocket pulling out a
       blunt that he'd rolled earlier in the day before things got
       hectic. He lit it and inhaled then he passed it. DeAndre thought
       back to his Uncle Blu in the hospital..
       D2. -sigh- You know from experience that this shit don't ever
       get easier..
       MJ. What?
       D2. Shit. Life I guess.. But maybe unc feel sum on the way..
       Something bigger than some niggas that missed they shot...
       DeAndre looked over at MJ then back out of the window. All
       through his childhood he remembered stories of the hustlers
       intuition, and for Uncle Blu to say get out after he swore by
       the game, it was out of the normal.
       D2. But you know Im rocking with you no matter what nigga..
