Streets: Zaniel & Talia

Zaniel and Bullet arrived to the park once more, heading on in. Zaniel was planning to head over to the pond to relax on the shore a while in the shade, it was actually a bit hot today, and he was wearing his sleeveless hoody due to it. Bullet, once again got excited and pulled away from Zaniel, "AH! NOT AGAIN! BULLET!!!" he chased after him once more. He lost him when he ran through some bushes, "OH fuck my life.....Damn it!" he sighed aloud and got looking around, "Bullet! Where are you?" he called out.

He looked around for a good 10-15 minutes, when he came to the centre area, and spotted Bullet at a familiar park bench and WHO was holding the lash, he paused, "What the fuck? Really?" he asked himself aloud. Bullet was wagging his tail and enjoying the pets and scratches Lia was spoiling him with. He walked on over, "Is this city small is is dat just me?" he asked her as he approached. "Bullet You bad boy." he said he came over, Bullet just wagging his tail.

"....Hey....been a bit since i saw ya...." he said, not sure what to say at this time, "Ya......been busy?" he asked, making simple talk, since they were not at the brothel.

Talia saw him as she smiled again, "You could say that... Actually I'm kinda glad I ran into you. Do you got a second so we can talk?"She asked. She looked down at Bullet and gave the Leash back to Zaniel. "He likes to boss you around doesn't he?"She laughed a bit.

She was wearing make up, but in a slight manner her eyes were really darker than usual. She hasn't slept much. She was still working as bitch to make the money, and having to be in charge till she got a chance to Talk to Zaniel was tough.

"What about you?"She asked him, "How is your brother and Chantel?"She as him. She started to walk and wait for him, expecting him to walk with her, She kinda knew that he didn't like to stand still for too long. Plus it was good for them both. This wasn't something she'd want him to sit and think about when she needed and answer immediately.

"Oh? Wat bout?" he asked, surprised she and to talk about anything that sounded even remotely important. But he agreed and took back the leash, "He ran off the moment we got in the park." he sighed, "I thought he would be trashing a hotdog stand." he said as they got walking along the gravel path in the park, which lead to the pond area.

"They're fine. School, and shit, normal stuff." he said, still not letting too much be known about his private life, "But dat's not war ya wanna ask me tho is it?" he said, "This is somethin' big isn't it?" he asked, she looked like she hadn't been up all night doing something other than her job and whatnot, "You look a little ragetty a bit." he said, from his observation of her current state.....but she still looked sexy to him. "So? Wat is it?" he asked her again.

She took a deep breath as she sighs. She did her best not to cry. No bitch ever cried in front of a man. "Jay passed away. All contract he had with Trayvon and the gang is now non and void. Anything that was owed or anything of Jay goes to the new pimp which he name int he will. "She said softly, "However... He knew that you were involved with them for some reason. Not sure what-"She lied the last part, "But... here..."She said giving the hand written will that Jay wrote to him. She figure he was smart enough to read.

She waited a bit to let it sink in. When he made a comment about her look she laughed a bit, "Yeah... it's been really tiring being without the main pimp and looking after all the work he left."She stated.

They got to the pond as she walked up to it. She took her shoes off and went to the shallow part. The cool water feeling good against her sore and slightly tender feet.

He was surprised that he only saw the guy four days ago, "How'd he die?!" he got no word of this at all, but he had been busier lately and wondered what Trayvon was up to. "No wonder.' he said to himself. He pause ding hearing that last part and frowned, "NO one know what i"m with Trayvon for. and that AIN'T yo business." he frowned at her, that hit a nerve on him.

He looked at the paper, then to her. He sighed and took it and looked it over, ".......................WHAT. THE. FUCK?" he asked and looked at Lia, "WHY would he pick me?" he asked seriously, "DO you KNOW what Trayvon will DO to me if I accept this?!" he asked her, "He'll fuckin' shoot my siblings and make me watch and then shoot ME!" he said. "He'll think I made a deal wit Jay behind his back or somethin!" he said, "Does anyone one else KNOW i've been picked for this motherfuckin job?" he as her. He saw people staring and he took a deep breath and rubbed his face, "You didn't make him choose me did ya?" he asked her.

Talia looked at him, "Of course not! You idiot!"She glared at him. Red and Embarrassed. "I keep a very private life! What I do with my time isn't anyone business. NO! I didn't tell him to Pick you! For some god knows reason he like you. I have no fucking idea why he picked you."She said cursing a bit, but realized what she did and cough to cover it up.

"Also. I don't care what the hell you did, but I don't care to know."She said cold and bitterness in her tone. "And No! I'm the only fucking person who knows"She let her tongue slip again. She was getting a lot of stares as she sighs as she got out of the pond. She sighs as she took a deep breath, "You don't have to take it. If it makes you feel safer and keep your siblings safe, than don't take it. It just leads me with more fucking work that I don't fucking have time for!"She said looking at him, "Also with Jay being gone, if you did take it. You get ALL his money. His condo, His mansion, His house, ALL his cars. And he had a fucking collection."She was getting frustrated. She didn't get much sleep and she was tailng it out on him.

She took another deep breath, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry for my rude mouth. I'm just tired"She said as she looked at him and gave him a sad smile. She had small tears in the corners of her eyes. 'fuck'She called for Bullet and petted him to "What a good sweet boy. Yes you are!"She said as cooed at him.

He frowned, not out of anger, but out of confusion and fear, "DOn't get snarky at me! I didn't ask for that." he said seriously, "I joined his fucking gang, because of SOMEONE else's FUCKING MISTAKES." he said letting that slip. He shook his head, he and not gotten this frustrated in a long time, he usually kept his cool but this was VERY much out of the blue for him. He sighed aloud, "You....do you have someone else you had in mind that would be better than me?" he asked

"And this is generous....." he didn't know what to say, but he was so worried what could happen if he accepted it. ".......But...." he really was confused, ".....I need time ..." he said, "I can't give an answer now." he told her. Bullet whimpered seeing his mast all flustered and confused, walking over to him and pawing him, almost to try and calm him down.

Talia nodded a she looked at him, "I understand..."She said softly as she put her shoes back on and petted bullets head, "I have a few other options for someone to take over, but before I make a decision I want to hear a honest answer from you first."She told him. She stood up as she looked at him with a soft smile, "Take your time. I'm there if you need me."She told him

She was about to walk away but looked at him, "Just so you know... even if Trayvon did come after you because of someone elses mistakes. He has a total of 5 people, including you."She told him honestly. "Jay had 2 million on his side. I doubt Trayvon would try and take you on, when there is that many people that can go after him. Especially if Jay was the head Mafia."She said looking at him. "But at the same time. I understand your concern. Your family should come first. "She told him, "If I could just have a normal life. Just me and my dad... It would definitely be different."She told him and waved by. She noticed and saw a hot dog stand. She walked over, bought a hot dog and walked over to bullet and gave it to him. She smiled at the pup, "Take care of him kay?"She told the pup. She got up and waved bye again.

He looked at her and sighed, "........I....don' know when I'll tell ya....I've got a lot thinkin' to do." he said, he hated not making choices right then and there...but this was not something he could SIMPLY say 'yes or no' to. He sighed again, looking at her when she said she would be there if he needed her. "............Sure...." he accepted that at least.

He listened as she mentioned all the things that Trayvon didn't have and to what HE could have over him if he did choose it. But he still and that worry in the back of his head, and was always going to be there. He perked his eyebrow at the comment about a normal life, he thought she was more normal than he was, "............Yeah....." he scratched his head a little bit. "I'll... see ya about." he said.

He paused seeing her come back with a hotdog in hand and Bullet wagged his tailed crazy excited, seeing that treat. Zaniel gave a tiny quick smile when she was not looking as eh got gobbling up that hotdog, "You spoil him." he said watching her go off. he looked at the paper in hand and he folded it, putting it his pocket before walking on back home.

-------

For the next few days, Zaniel spent his every moment along thinking on should or shouldn't he take the deal. He was sitting at the kitchen table and looked around the house he was in....it was old...a lot of the things they and were out of date or just old in general. He sighed, the school his siblings were in was not the best either.......He didn't want a mansion or the flashy cars, just a place that was comfortable and better than this place they were in now.

"........SHould I do it? Never thought myself as a head honcho....................." he look at the paper again and frowned, getting up and got proper clothes on before heading out to the brothel.

It was around lunchtime when he got to the building and knocked on the door, hoping someone was there.

Talia has been working over time at the hide out. She told her dad that she took on a "part-time" job since it was technically summer vacation for her since she scored perfectly on her exams. He didn't mind and thought it was good for her resume.

She was going through Jays stuff, getting rid of old junk. Going through papers in the day time, But at night maintained her job as the bottom bitch. She groaned a she was sitting in his office looking over the paper work. She hasn't slept. She hasn't had Decent sex. Though she enjoyed her clients very much, she Hasn't had an Orgasm unless she did it her self, or with Zaniel.

She looked overf paperwork and heard the buzzer. She blinked confused. Non of her bitches were here yet. She wondered if it was someone with a package. She pressed the buzzer as she sighs, "Yes?"She called making sure she heard who it was on the other. She turned the tv for the camera and noticed a fellow in his hoody. She raised a brow. Curious to hear the voice first.

He was getting ancey standing there waiting. He growled when no one came when he knocked, but then he noticed a button beside the door, he pushed it and hoped that would get someone or Lia's attention...if she was in. He stood there looking behind him and around, making sure not one and followed him or anything of the sort. He then heard on a voice box, "Its me." he responded when he recognised it as Lia's voice. He showed the paper to show if she didn't believe it was him. "I'm here to talk about...you know...." he said, not wanting to say it aloud incise someone was nearby or whatever.

He stood waiting for door open, he then heard a click and he opened the door, entered the building. He removed his hoody and looked around, not ever had been in this part of the brothel, he sighed then walked down the hall and looking around for Lia. "...uh....hello?" he called cautiously.

Talia came out of Jays office whens she saw Zaniel in the hall, "Come in... Sorry, its actually really empty today. No on usually comes in this early. "She said. She looked tired, she was wearing her more professional outfit, but still casual. A cute black pencil skirt, with a white button down. Her hair was in pigtails, but her glasses on. Cute and sexy mix.

She lead him to his office as she looked and motioned for him to sit down, "Can i get you anything to drink?"She asked him as she organizing some papers. All jay's and things that she knew she had to go through.

She looked at him as she smiled kindly as she waited for him to respond. "Take a seat, unless you wanted this to be a quick thing?" She asked with a raised brow curious why he was here so early.

"Well because its gonna be lookin suspicious if ya come to this palc win the day." he said, following her to the office. He looked her up and down, seeing she had a mix of her looks today, "....How's....it been?" he asked, seeing papers around the place and other things around the office.

"Nah I'm good." he said, sitting in the opposite seat of the desk, ".......Honestly...I still don't think I'm cut out for it......but....after thinking on how my situation is right now....." He sighed thinking of his siblings. "But I don't want a mansion or all the flash cars, I just wanna place dats better than wat I've got now...And maybe down the line I'll get something more flash." he said. "I wanna be sure my family aight, dats my number one concern."

"That's what I want out of it." he said with a shrug, "Until I actually get a real grip of all this." he said, "So...is dat a problem?"

Talia looked at him with a tired smile. "Its going... Slowly but surely. Going through jay shit is taking up a good chunk of my time in the day. During the evening I maintain my position and make the money."She said, "Along with all the other bitches that are here working."She said as she looked at him.

Talia heard his request on what he wants out of the deal. Part of her thinks it's do able, but at the same time puts even more strain on her because she's technically behind everything Jay did. But he still did a good chunk of the work. She looked at him and smiled, "I think it's do able."She said. "But just so were clear. Do you have an idea of what Jay does?"She asked him.

"He keeps the peace between pimps, Dealers, and us Hoes essentially."She started "He keeps the hoes safe. Giving them clients he know are safe. He makes sure that we hoes basically are clean at all times, and we get a yearly check up. If anything is wrong with us, the business fails. He helps the Dealers do things a little bit more securely without getting caught by the cops. He tells them location, and make sure they don't fuck up by getting a deposit from the dealer so they can that money back. As for the Pimps. He make sure that they get a cut of the profit for their hoes working here. the outside doesn't look much, but he make sure everything inside is all up to par for everyone. Including safety."She explains.

She looks at him with a smile, "Majority of it you really don't have to worry about, the dealing, the finance, the locations with the deals. Thats all taken care of the bottom bitch. Aka me."She said a she explained. "However, the main daddy. Aka you. Are the one that has to be the face. Think of this as a Hierarchy. You're the King. All your subjects do the work for you. You're Queen, is the one in charge or really everything and taking care of business, but you have the face to rule the kingdom. You get to live in the palace. You all your riches, but your just the face of the kingdom. All the work is done by your queen."She smiled at him.

She pulled her skirt down as she yawned a bit looking at him, "Do you have any questions. If so, besides the decent house, a working car, and slight salary, is there anything else you want?"She asked him curiously.

"You look tired." he said, seeing all the stuff in the office around them. "....But it doesn't look like its goin out of control any anythin'." he stood, looking around, once again not wanting to stay still."I figured he ran this place, but i guess he and other gigs goin on too?" he said his belief in what Jay did, since he knew Trayvon dealt with him. "So protection, coordinator...and your boss...busy guy." he said. He was surprised there was not much for him to actually do, "Didn't think it would THAT simple...but doesn't it mke it of crazy on you?" he asked her.

He sniggered, the thought of him with the title, 'Daddy' was odd to him and funny at the same time, "I don't think I could get used to ya callin' me 'daddy'." he said, "But I'm here to make a better life for my siblings, so you just tell me what I'm doin' right or wrong." he walked over to her side of the desk, leaning on the desk, "Wat else?" he thought for a second, "I'll get back to ya on dat." he said. He saw her yawn, "One question tho, when's the last you got some shuteye?"

Talia looked at him and smiled, "It's been a bit. I get a couple hours here any there, and maybe in between clients. But not much since he's past." She said.

"And to be honest. Yeah its a little crazy to be doing most of the brunt work, but in the end. No one hurts me so I can thank Jay for that."She said. "You do have to maintain certain hours at the brothel. If you can, mostly evenings. Mainly to give the bitches their pay and talking to other pimps and daddy. There is a convention going on next week. You can meet them there if you're available."She said Opening up the computer calander and seeing the convention. 

"I'll show you how to dress, and what type of appereance you need to maintain like a Queen does to a King, but its up to you if you really want to go through with it."She said as she looked at him. He really couldn't keep still. "First thing is for you to see a doctor and making sure your vitals are good."She said as she got out insurance cards, dental cards. "You're siblings can go to them as well for check ups or if they are sick. The cost can be placed on this card" She said handing him his credit card. It already had his name and everything on it. This is pretty much your key to the world. The money is already taken care of, and whatever you need business related needs to come to be first and we can discuss."She said looking at him. 

"did you want to do your shopping today or a different day. Did you also wanted to check your new house out?"She asked him as she yawned again, "Sorry. I didn't realize how tired I am. "She laughed a bit.

He nodded, "....Yeah." this was a little overwhelming for him, he and never gotten into this kind of thing before, he was usually the type to keep to himself out of the limelight or the position as boss, but he chose to come along and see this through. "........My sister has a dance recital I gotta go to it." he said, looking at the calendar, "....its before it." he sighed, "I can't miss that dance or she's never let me hear the end of it."

".......My siblings will be asking me what happened for me to get all the dough all of a sudden.....AND I've my uncle to worry about as well." he sighed. His uncle would have a fit seeing he had become a PIMP by inheritance. "And....I don't really want my siblings involved, incase of trouble or issues." he said. He blinked looking at all the cards, "......Fuckin hell you've been busy." he looked at her surprised. He looked at her, ".....Ya need sleep before ya show me anything."

Talia looked at him and nodded as she started to type Chantel dance recital, "Do you know what time her recital is?"She asked him. 

While she was doing a bigger digging for Jay's funeral, she found a lot of information that she found was a bit unsettling and disturbing. A few days ago she was looking at his social, and death certificate. And she found his true name. Jay was always a code name. But his real name was Andre Johnson

According to the paper work that she dug up. He had 3 kids. Never married, but had a girlfriend by the name of Kisha. The oldest son, but Zaniel Johnson, Second son was Zion Johnson, and his youngest and only daughter was Chantel Johnson. All the information wasn't a confident. Jay's biological son was Zaniel and his siblings. Whens he found this, it made it sick to her stomach. She didn't want to be the one to tell him, but at the same time Zaniel had a right to know.

"There's something else that I need to tell you.... And it's pretty important so you want might to sit still if you can help it."She said looking at him with a serious and tired expression. "It might help remedy as to how you got everything..."She stated whens he heard him thinking out loud of how he was going to explain to his siblings how he got the house, the money, and the car. "But.... whatever you do."She warned looking at him, "Don't freak out, don't get angry, and I'm just a messenger."She said looking at him. "Also I'll sleep if you make me tired enough."She smirked at him.

"Its after dis convention thing you just mentioned....but she'd kill me if i miss it." he said with a sigh, "But If I get this convention thing out of the way and I can be good on ma promise to her." he said. He perked and eyebrow at the mention of the paper she and in hand, "Wat? What do you mean don't freak out?" he asked, "Wat's goin on?" he asked more.He was worried now, he just made the choice to get into this but it would seem not there was even MORE to find out about in this position...or about Jay or something like that, he was stressing out internally.

Talia sighs as she looked at him and showed him Jay's Death Certificate. "Andre Johnson.... Had a girlfriend by the name of Kisha Bostin. Had 3 kids.... Zaniel Johnson, Zion Johnson, and Chantel Johnson." She stated showing Zaniel his Biological Fathers Death certificate. "Jay was your father...."She said. "The inheritance of everything that he owns... In this will...." she said the one in his Hand "And in this one"She said an official Legal documentation "goes to you and your sibling. Some of it also to his brother. Or you're uncle."She said showing it to him. 

She suppressed a yawn, this was all emotionally draining. She couldn't imaging that the person that left everything for Zaniel was his father. All the money, the cars, the house. Everything was his. "I'm sorry for your loss."She said sympathizing with him a bit, but almost afraid of his reaction whens he gather him Jay's Death certificate.

He physically flinched hearing that name but he listened on, but He frowned as she started reading. His frown creased more and more, and his hand on the chair gripped the arm of the chair more, "........." he was shaking in anger, "....Are...you...fuckin....serious....." he was pissed.
"I didn't...even....." he saw him....before he died, he SAW him and didn't recognise him. He look at her, "You JUST found this??" he asked seriously. He stood up, getting really angry hearing all this, he hadn't seen his dad since he was a kid.

Her looked at her when she hinted to him on HOW she would sleep, if he would 'assist' her in doing so, "......You like it that much?" he half joked. He sighed, and slammed his hand on the desk, "I'm...." he sighed in annoyance, "I never knew......He just walked off one day and never came back....then my mom did the fuckin same....." he looked at her, "That mother fucker......was NOT ever that far away....and he didn't do a THING for us since he left........" he was REALLY angry now.

Talia saw him get angry. She can see how he got that from Jay. Jay would get angry the same way, but he never once hurt Talia. She felt a bit of fear, but pushed it down as she stayed strong for Zaniel. She looked and let him get angry. 

She heard him sAy that his mother walked out of him and his siblings. In her head she couldn't understood how a parent can do that to their kids. But at the same time. Maybe Jay was thinking the same thing. He couldn't leave nothing for kids. But he didn't want them involved in the life he had. Now he was giving it to Zaniel.

She nodded her head, "I found it days ago, but I didn't want to bring it up unless you were sure you wanted to take it."She said "And you maybe angry about it now, But he's gone. You can't be angry at someone who is dead."She said in a serious tone, holding her head high as she looked at him. "But maybe he left it so you can live a better life starting now. You and you're Siblings. Maybe he didn't want to bring you into this world, but seeing as you were already half involved he probably thought, "Hey why not! Talia will take care of most of the shit!" "She said getting angry and irritated herself. 

"I'm sorry that you're father died. I am. I lost my mom when I was born." She said looking at him. "But at least he didn't leave you with more debt. If anything he's leaving you with things to get out of Debt, and to take care of you're siblings. His two children."She said as she hugged a bit. Pushing her bang out of her face as she shook her head. She was tired, hungry and angry. She looked at him. "I booked for a slot for you're sisters Dance recital. The Convention isn't out of state, it's only an hour or two away. So you'll be back in plenty of time."She said as she got up form the desk as she looked at all the paper work. She noticed the time and saw it was 2 pm. "Do you want to get something to eat?"She asked softly, hoping that food will calm them both down. She was getting too emotional, and it was hindering her sanity.

"YOU should have shown me right then an there!" he said, hearing she found this earlier. "THAT would have made my mind up RIGHT THEN AND THERE." he growled, "I promised myself I would PUNCH HIS lights out when if I saw him again.....but i didn't fuckin' recognised him!!" he growled again.

"You Lost yo mama due to medical things, mines is walking around out there with some mother fucker that she wanted more than her kids! and LEAVING that fukin' debt on ME!!!" which was how he got stuck doing jobs with Trayvon. "Got stuck doing shit, because my mama took a loan from bad people and when the due date came and she couldn't pay it, she ran off with some dude and left me to pick up the pieces and keep my sibling safe!" he said, "And WHERE was he?! NO FUCKIN' WHERE!!!" he slammed his fists on the desk this time.

He panted heavily, venting all this out, ".....If I knew that yo boss was ma old man....I would have killed him....." he said seriously, "You leave your family.....a 9, 4 and 1 year old, with a struggling mama........." his body shook in rage.

Now Talia was angry, "Don't Fucking take you're anger out on me! I found this shit 2 weeks after he died! 2 days ago! I don't have you're number, I don't know where you live. How the fuck was I suppose to find you and say, "By the way. I'm fathers Bitch/Sectrartary/ sex slave/ accountant and business partner. He died, heres the money he left you" I respected your fucking privacy!"She glared as she huffed.

She shook her head as she wanted to cry but refused. She stood up as she went to the closet and got out a large box She got a key around her neck and opened the box. Inside was wads and wads of cash. There was a few million in the chest. A card with a savings card with 10 million. And another bank card with a amount of 1 trillion. A title and load information for a car, a key to the mansion and a house in the good part of town. She grabbed the box and sat it on the desk and glared at him. "Take it...."She said looking at him. 

"Now you having nothing to complain about. Quit you're bitching, Get out of Debt with Trayvon. Forget what you're mom did and look after you're sibling. Put them in a better school, let them do sports, eat better food. Have no worry!"She told him. "You have a fucking way out. But you're too fucking angry to fucking whats in front of you. Its in the past!"She stated looking at him.

He looked at her, "I'm NOT angry at you.....I'm just angry at him and everything else." he said. He blinked see ALL this cash simple just hiding in plain sight and then se just shoving it to him, "YOU HAVE a parent in yo life!" he growled at her, "YOU would be the fucking same if they SUDDENLY just up an leave ya!" he said, "SO DON'T tell ME HOW I should act or FEEL When Its been ME watching over the people I CARE About! YoU don't even KNOW ME!" he growled at her, NOW getting angry with her.

"My brother and sister don't even KNOW his face!!!! Its STUCK in mine! SO don't come into MY face, thinking you know WHAT ITS LIKE!" his voice getting louder. "I'm out there making money cause I HAVE Other I need to watch over, And what are YOU doing?! You obvious do this shit for FUN! Not cause you desperate!!!" he said, "I'm OUT!" HE pushed the money away and got leaving the office.
