The Pleasure of Pain Read online

  "Ebony! Ebony! Where you at?" Omar hollered.

  Just then the back door blew open from a gunshot and more men were entering the house. He tried to shoot at the front door to keep the men from entering. Then he tried to shoot at the front door and the back door at the same time, but it was no use there were too many gunmen coming in at him.

  Out of nowhere Ebony came out of one of the rooms from upstairs. She stood on the stairs and aimed for the back door and all Omar heard was rapid fire. BRRRRRRR! Ebony was on the stairs with a Tech-9 mm busting off shots. Two gunmen at the back door tried to move, but didn't make it in time. The bullets from the Tech-9mm tore through their bodies leaving them dead where they stood.

  Omar was shooting at the front door with both forty caliber handguns. When he noticed he was out of bullets, he crouched low behind the couch wondering what to do next. Ebony was still firing shots, but without Omar to cover the front door. Danilo started to fire at her from the door frame.

  "Oh shit," Omar yelled as one bullet hit Ebony in the arm and she fell. Omar stood up and ran up the stairs and two bullets hit him in the back. He used his body to cover Ebony from the shots making Danilo duck for cover. Two gunmen at the front door fired back, but Ebony’s bullets were coming too fast at them. Bullets hit one of the gunmen in the face and head ten times at once. Ebony moved Omar's body, "Baby get up! I need you! Baby!"

  "Hmmm," Omar pulled his body up and Ebony and him made it up the stairs of their house to one of the bedrooms. In the bedroom, Ebony looked at Omar's wounds in his back. "Shit baby, you going to be okay," she said while a tear fell down her face.

  Omar looked at her, "I love you Ebony." He got up and went up under the bed and pulled out a chrome Mossberg pump shot gun.

  By now Danilo and his team were making their way up the stairs, moving fast, but being cautious and using the walls as cover. “This is taking too long we need to finish this before the cops get here," Danilo said to his men.

  "Listen Ebony, I need you to go out of the window and run to the car," Omar said as the blood was leaving his body making him feel weak.

  "No, I can't leave you."

  "Listen!” he shouted, “We've both been shot and you will bleed to death if you don't go."

  Ebony almost forgot about her own wound because she was too busy worrying about Omar. Ebony looked down at her arm and knew Omar was right. "Baby, I love you," Ebony said then she kissed him.

  "Go!" Omar yelled, "I hear them coming."

  Danilo’s men were up the stairs now. There were three bedrooms up stairs and four of them. They started to reach the first room. Ebony went to the window and looked back at Omar for one last time. She knew it would be the last time she saw him alive. She climbed out the window. One of the men in the hallway heard the noise and headed to the bedroom down the hallway. He made it to the door and was getting ready to open it when boom. A shotgun roared and blew a hole in the door the size of a bowling ball, hitting the gunman and killing him instantly.

  The other three gunmen saw their partner die in front of their eyes and were now aiming at the door with their guns. Just then the door flew open. Omar stepped out and let the shotgun roar. He fired the shots and two of the gunmen went down, but were still standing. One gunman was on his knees firing shots all over the place before he died. Bullets hit Omar on his chest and stomach. He screamed in pain, but kept firing. "I'll kill you all," he yelled.

  Omar ran straight at the gunmen and bullets ripped through his body. He fired the shotgun one last time blowing off the last gunman's head like a pumpkin then fell to the floor and died. His last thoughts were of Ebony. Outside Ebony heard Omar's screams. She wanted to go back to help him, but knew it was already too late. Tears were flowing down her face as she ran barefoot to her car down the block with her tech-9mm gripped in one hand.

  She made it to her Benz Coupe, jumped in, and started the car. Her instincts told her to turn her head. She turned to find a man standing at the passenger side door with a 3.57 revolver aimed at her.

  Danilo knew one of them would run to their car if they got away and planned for it. He didn't go upstairs with the rest of his men. He was waiting outside just in case the target might escape and he was right. Danilo thought to himself this was a sexy ass bitch, but she had to die.

  That moment of hesitation gave Ebony time to raise her Tech-9mm. BRRRRRR! Boom! Boom! Both guns went off simultaneously. The 3.57 put holes in the car and into Ebony's head, neck, and chest. She squeezed the trigger and was only able to get out a few shots off before she died. Danilo laid on the ground bleeding. His whole right side was shot up. "Damn, that bitch hit me," he said to himself. He was too weak to move soon he would bleed to death. The cops made it to the scene to find a blood bath. They blocked off the neighborhood.

  "We have ten bodies inside the house sergeant," one of the cops said.

  "Hey guys down here," another cop yelled. Down the block the cops walked to a Mercedes Benz- Coupe. "There's a dead woman in there," the cop said.

  "Shit, look at the fucking holes in this car? It had to have been a big ass gun."

  "Hey, there is blood outside the car too. I wonder why," one cop replied.

  "Maybe she got the fucker who killed her ass. Fuck it. It's more than likely drug related. Look at the fucking car. I can't afford one of these and look at the house that shit is better than mine. I say they killed each other and made our jobs easier," the sergeant said and all the cops busted out laughing.

  Danilo somehow made it to his car and he headed to his cousin’s house on Flatlands not too far from where he was. He had lost a lot of blood and crashed the car twice before he got there. "Oh shit," Danilo's cousin yelled. He was sitting on his steps smoking a blunt when Danilo stepped out of the car covered in blood with a gun in his hand. "Danilo," he yelled. He grabbed him and took him to his car and started driving off. "Yo, what happened," his cousin asked.

  "Nothing, just take me to a hospital, not in Brooklyn, but Queens fast and when they fix me we're heading out of town."

  Danilo already had some of the money for the hit. It was five hundred thousand dollars a piece for each member he killed in Tess and Bless's team. He had one million because Ebony and Omar were easy to find, but Bless and Tess had too many houses to find them. Danilo had already lost nine men just trying to kill two members of their crew. He wasn't about to put his life on the line to try to kill the rest of them. He'd been shot in his chest and his right side by that bitch. He’d be damned if he’d let it happen again.

  Bad News

  Chapter 19

  Tess and Bless heard about what had happened to Ebony and Omar from the streets and not to mention it was all over the news. The cops were calling it the Canarsie bloodbath. "Baby, we have to handle this shit," Tess said. "First, a bomb in your car and now someone put a hit on Ebony and Omar," Tess stated.

  "Yeah, you're right, but how do you know it was a hit," Bless responded.

  "Baby, they left the money in the house it was at the front door and cops found it. I have to call Vanessa and tell her about Ebony," Tess said.

  "Yo, you know she's going to go crazy."

  "I know, but I have to be the one she hears it from." Tess went into the bedroom of their long beach house leaving Bless to his thoughts while he watched the news on TV.

  In the bedroom, Tess cried hysterically over her childhood friend. Ebony, Iris and Vanessa had been friends for five years now and been in the game together that long. They were all her girls and now Ebony was gone.

  With tears in her eyes, she picked up the phone next to the bed and dialed Vanessa's number, "Yo Tess, what's good girl," Vanessa said knowing it was her. "I haven't heard from you since yesterday when Bless called you to get some of that good stuff, HA! HA! HA!" Vanessa busted out laughing from her own joke. Even when she noticed Tess wasn't laughing with her nor had she said a word, Vanessa thought it was about business. It was the one time Tess put their friendship to the side and got serious. "Yo, I'm about done w
ith that work and Iris is still M.I.A., but she'll show up. She always does," Vanessa said.

  "Yo, Vanessa this ain't about business," Tess replied. "Vanessa, you know I love you."

  "I love you too, Tess." Vanessa could hear the tears in her voice and knew something was wrong.

  "Yo, Tess what's wrong?" She knew Tess wasn't the type to just cry over shit out of all the years she knew her. Tess was one of the strongest women she knew. "Tess you're okay? What is it?"

  "Vanessa someone killed Ebony and Omar tonight."

  "Nooo," Vanessa yelled and started to cry into the phone. "Who…. who killed my sister? Who? Who Tess?"

  "I don't know yet but mark my words we're going to find out." Tess said. Vanessa was crying non- stop over her sister. "Listen Vanessa, I'll be waiting for you when you get here. I love you."

  Vanessa didn't hear her, her mind was lost on her sister's death, with that Vanessa hung up the phone and cried the night away. Tess sat on her bed with tears in her eyes and grabbed her pink pearl handle 3.80 from up under her pillow. "I promise Ebony. I promise I'll kill whoever did this to you. I promise," Tess said as she looked up to the ceiling with tears rolling down her face. She tightened her grip on her gun.

  CASH

  Chapter 20

  Jose picked up his cell phone, "Hola, who is this?" he asked.

  A voice came on, "I have the information you wanted on who killed your brother."

  "So, where do you want to meet," Jose asked.

  "I don't," the person on the other line said. "I want you to drop the money off where I tell you and then I'll give you the information you want."

  "You just want me to drop off two million dollars and hope you give me the info? Get the fuck out of here," Jose yelled. The voice on the line hung up the phone. Jose just realized he made a mistake. That person could've led him to his brother's killer. "Shit call back, call back," he said to himself. Ten minutes went by and Jose was worried that he lost the info he needed then his phone rang. He picked it up.

  "Are you ready to deal," the voice asked.

  "Yes, yes," Jose replied.

  "Now, Jose for making me mad I feel two million ain't enough. I want eight million and don't act like you don't have it. You're a fucking Dominican drug lord."

  "I'll pay, but what is your name," Jose asked.

  "Well, I want your cash so call me ‘Cash’."

  "Okay Cash, where do you want me to drop off the money," Jose asked.

  "Just get the money ready and I'll call you when I'm ready to tell you where to drop it off, okay?"

  "Si, yes," Jose said and the phone went dead. Jose knew he had to go along with Cash's plan and rules even though he didn't like it one bit. The money wasn't the problem. He didn't care if he lost eight million. ‘Shit, that wasn't a dime of what he was worth, but he did care about the information on his brother's killer and whoever was blackmailing him, this Cash, would die too,’ Jose thought to himself.

  Things Just Don't Seem Right

  Chapter 21

  It had been two weeks since Ebony and Omar's murder and Tess still hadn't found out a clue on who put the hit on them. Ebony's funeral was the next day and Tess was stressed out. "Yo Mami, I know you're all messed up in the head, but you can't blame yourself and beat yourself up mentally," Bless stated.

  "What do you mean I can't blame myself," Tess yelled. "She was my girl."

  "I know Tess and she was my home girl, too. I promise you we will find out who was behind this."

  "Oh you best to believe we're going to find out who fucked with my team," Tess yelled.

  "You mean our team, Tess, our team," Bless said. "Yo baby, I know this ain't the time to bring this up, but I feel you've been hiding something from me."

  "Why would you say that," Tess replied.

  "Listen as soon as I came out of jail, there has been nothing but drama."

  "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Tess yelled.

  "Play stupid if you want, but look around you and see what the fuck is going on," Bless yelled. "If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong!"

  "I don't want to talk about this shit right now," Tess got up, stomped off to their bedroom, and shut the door. Bless came into the bedroom behind her to find her sitting on the bed with her back turned to him. He took off all of his clothes and sat on the bed behind her.

  "Baby, I'm sorry," he said while placing his hands on her waist and began kissing and sucking her neck. Tess let out a moan. Bless continued to kiss her and remove her clothes, her bra then her panties. "Mmm, baby, I like that," Tess moaned.

  "Lay down on your stomach," Bless ordered. She did what he said. Bless placed his juicy soft kisses on her neck and slowly, very slowly, kissed down her back.

  "Mmm, baby, stop teasing me." Tess moaned.

  "Just relax and enjoy it," Bless replied.

  "Yes baby," she replied and just took it all in as he was giving it to her. He took his tongue and slid it around her ass cheeks and thick thighs. "Hmmm Daddy." Slowly he opened her legs and kissed her inner thighs making his way to her clit. "Damn baby," she yelled while Bless used his skills sucking and licking on her clit driving her wild. "Put your tongue in it, put youurrr, ooh." She couldn't get the words out because Bless' tongue was all up in her pussy dancing around.

  "Get on your knees," Bless ordered. Tess got on her knees and Bless began to eat her from the back. "Mmmm, you like that?"

  "Yes, yes, yes, daddy," she moaned as his tongue went as far as it could go in her pussy. Bless enjoyed every minute of it and her sweet juices.

  "Mmmm I love the way you taste."

  "Taste all of it daddy all of it," and with that he did. With his tongue deep inside of her pussy, he pulled it in and out, over and over again fucking her with his tongue. "Ooooohhh, yes daddy, ooooh, mmmmm." Tess moaned with each stroke of his tongue.

  "You like that?" Bless asked.

  "Yes, I love it."

  He savored her taste and used his tongue to slide across her ass and put it in and out of her ass. Tess was in heavenly bliss loving his long tongue inside of her with her sweet juices on his face. He got up and put his dick in her pussy as far as it could go, all ten inches and pounded away. "Whose pussy is this? Who's pussy?" Bless asked.

  "It's yours, it's yours." Tess replied.

  He gripped her hair and pounded her even harder. "Yeah, yeah! This is my pussy," he yelled while spanking her voluptuous ass.

  "Oooh yeah, fuck me... fuck me. This dick feels so good, ahhh, ohh." Bless smacked her ass and pumped and grinded inside her. He pumped and humped as hard as he could until he felt the nut building up. He gripped her hair tighter and pulled it back making her arch her back even more making her take even more of his dick. "Oooh shit, ooh shit, I'm coming. You're fucking the shit out of me." He pounded and pounded until they both came five times and collapsed into each other’s arms. Tess was lying on Bless' chest. "I love you, baby."

  "I love you too, Mami." He laid there watching her sleep, but couldn't help the feeling that something was wrong. ‘What is she not telling me?’ He thought as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

  The Funeral

  Chapter 22

  The day of Ebony's funeral it seemed like everyone was there from drug dealers from all over to business people. The funeral home was in Queens on Grant Avenue, the border line between Queens and Brooklyn. Cars were parked and double- parked ten blocks down. Vanessa, Iris, and Tess were dressed in black Versace dresses. Vanessa and Iris came back from Philly the night of Ebony and Omar's murders and closed down the spot up there. This was more important than money.

  "I'm sorry for your lost," an older woman named Ms. Brown said to Vanessa. She knew Ebony, Vanessa, Tess and Iris since they were kids coming to her store to buy candy and now Vanessa owned a house next to hers in Queens.

  "Thank you, Ms. Brown for your support," Vanessa said.

  "Child please, I love you girls and nothing could've kept me from coming here today, not even my bad leg." Ms. B
rown and Vanessa talked some more before Ms. Brown hugged her and went off to talk to someone else.

  At the grave site, Tess was standing next to Bless, Vanessa and Iris as they watched the grave being covered. "I'll leave you alone. I know you need time with your girls," Bless said as he walked away. "I'll be waiting in the car for you when you're done."

  "Vanessa, are you okay," Tess asked. Vanessa didn't speak she just kept staring at her sister's grave.

  Iris walked up to Vanessa and hugged her. "I love you Vanessa and we all loved Ebony. We will get who did this to her," Iris said as the tears fell down her face.

  Then Tess moved over and hugged them both and said, "Yeah we'll get them."

  Out of nowhere Vanessa yelled, "You're lying, Tess! This is the longest you ever took to handle business. You've been under Bless' ass and forgot about us!"

  "What the fuck you talking about Vanessa," Tess said with an attitude.

  "Why haven't you found who killed my sister?" Vanessa asked.

  "I'm looking and I will find who's behind this," Tess stated.

  "Before Bless came home we would've killed everything moving to find out who was behind this. I bet you didn't even let him know about the contract killings we did. Why? Because you don't want him to see that side of you, now you're on some falling back shit!"

  Tess slapped the taste out of Vanessa's mouth. "Listen and listen good. What I do with my man is my fucking business and that goes for what I tell him. Watch your fucking mouth before I fuck you up. I'm the fucking boss around here and don't ever get it twisted. The only reason you're not knocked the fuck out over your mouth is because today is Ebony's funeral and I know you're hurting. That's why you're coming out, but don't let it happen again."

  "Whatever," Vanessa said holding her face and walking away with Iris following behind her leaving Tess standing alone. Tess knew in her heart that Vanessa was right about her taking too long to find Ebony's killer. She had killed people faster for killing one of her workers, but it was hard to find who was behind this and she would work on it until she got revenge.
