The Teflon Queen (4 page)

“
So what is it that you want me to do?” Capo asked.

“
Just tone it down a bit” Wayne huffed massaging the bridge of his nose. “The heat that’s been coming down on me because of these murders has been unbelievable” He said as he stood up. “I have a meeting with Mr. Goldberg right now” Wayne laughed. “This damn lawyer is the only one benefiting off of these murders.”

Wayne’s personal body guard Tank shadowed his every move.

“
After I come back from Mr. Goldberg’s office I think I’m going to come back home and relax” Wayne said as he headed outside.

Outside his all black Suburban was waiting in the front like always.

“
Make sure you call me later” Wayne said looking at Capo. “And remember…” “Yeah I know tone it down” Capo said finishing off Wayne’s sentence for him.

Before Wayne could say another word Tank quickly tackled him to the ground as a loud series of gunshots lit up the streets. The sound of tires screeching quickly followed.

Capo quickly hopped up and returned fire at the car before the car disapeared around the corner.

At that moment the “tone it down” talk went straight out the window.

Whoever had just tried take their life, would have to pay with their own Capo thought as he tucked his .380 back into his waistband. “You still want to tone it down?” Capo chuckled. Wayne ignored that last comment as he and Tank hopped in the Suburban and peeled off.

“
How you want to handle this?” Moose asked looking at Capo.

“
You already know how” Capo smirked as he and Moose hopped in his

Benz and broke out.

On the ride to Mr. Goldberg’s office Wayne was silent. All that was on his mind was staying out of jail. Wayne already had two charges pending against him, and all the heat that’s been coming down wasn’t helping him one bit. Wayne hated how Capo handled business, but he

loved the end result. All he wished was for Capo to handle things a little more quietly. But deep inside he knew Capo wouldn’t be able to tone it down. It was only one way that Capo knew how to be and that was loud. Wayne he was going to have to do something about the heat that Capo was bringing down on him, and his clock was ticking so he was going have to think of something quick. The Suburban pulled up in the parking spot in front of Mr. Goldberg’s. Wayne hopped out and power walked to the entrance of the building with Tank close on his heels.

“
Hi, how are you doing?” Wayne said politely to the secretary that sat behind the desk. “Can you tell Mr. Goldberg that Wayne is here to see him?”

“
One second please,” the secretary replied politely as she watched Wayne and Tank go take a seat in the waiting area.

“
So what you wanna do about Capo?” Tank asked.

“
Not sure yet” Wayne said as he saw the secretary signal it was okay for them to go in Mr. Goldberg’s office. Wayne and Tank walked in the office and helped themselves to a seat. “How are we looking?” Wayne asked sighing loudly.

“
Believe it or not you looking pretty good” Mr. Goldberg told him.

“
We’re going to beat the murder charge thanks to Capo taking out the star witness, and they don’t have enough evidence to convict you on that drug charge so you’re good” Mr. Goldberg said with a smile.

“
However” he continued. “After you beat these charges the government and the Feds are really going to be coming for your head, so what we need to do is come up with a solution to keep you out of trouble and your name out of shit!”

“
Easier said then done” Wayne said as the trio erupted with laughter.

“
Anything that Capo does my name is automatically brought up.”

“
So what are we going to do about this?” Mr. Goldberg asked. He too knew that Capo was a loose cannon and if he continued on the path that he was going down, neither him or Wayne would have their freedom for much longer.

“
I have no idea” Wayne said massaging his temples. “I told him time and time again to try to tone it down, I just don’t think he can.”

“
I say you need to just cut that clown loose” Tank said straight up.

“
I never liked him anyway!”

“
Nah” Wayne said. “He paid his dues to play this game” even though Capo was a pain in the ass Capo had saved Wayne’s ass and his life on serveral occasions.

“
I have an idea, but I’m going to be honest with you, it’s a long shot” Mr. Goldberg announced.

“
What did you have in mind?” Wayne whispered.

“
I had this one client that introduced me to this hitman or hitwoman I should say, named Angela also known as the Teflon Queen”

“
I heard of her” Wayne said. “She’s from Miami right?”

“
Yup” Mr. Goldberg replied. “Hire her on your team and she’ll be sure to keep Capo in line. Angela don’t play no games, she strictly about her business.”

“
Set me up with a meeting with her a.s.a.p” Wayne said as he and Mr. Goldberg shook hands.

“
No mommy put the phone down!” Shekia yelled as she wrestled with her mother to hang up the phone.

“
No daughter of mine is going to transport drugs!” Ms. Pat barked.

“
Mommy it’s either do this or they will kill the both of us” Shekia said unplugging the entire phone.

“
The cops will protect us Kia” Ms. Pat told her.

“
Fuck the police!” Shekia cursed. “The police ain’t ever helped nobody. Just chill out I got everything under control, beside it’s only a few trips.”

“
It starts out with a few trips” Ms. Pat said as tears streamed down her face. She wanted so badly to call the cops, but she also remembered how they had found Max and what they had done to him.

Ms. Pat knew that even if she told Shekia no, she wasn’t going to listen. All she could do was pray for her baby. “Please promise me you are going to be careful?”

“
I got you mommy” Shekia said as she hugged her mother tightly. She too was nervous and afraid, but she couldn’t let her mother see her like that. She had to stay strong until the storm was over, but how long would the storm last was the question. Shekia pulled out her cell phone and dialed Capo’s number. On the fourth ring he finally answered. “Yo?”

“
Hey what’s up? It’s me” Shekia said. “We was supposed to meet up today” she reminded him.

“
I’m right outside” Capo replied as he beeped the horn.

“
Wait I didn’t have a chance to pack yet” Shekia said nervously.

“
No need for all that baby” Capo said smoothly. “Just come outside”

Shekia grabbed her purse, and kissed her mother on the cheek. “I’ll be back in a few days and I promise everything is going to be fine” she said running out the door. Shekia hopped in the passenger seat of the Benz and strapped on her seat belt.

“
Relax” Capo smiled as he pulled off and headed for the airport.

“
Okay so how does this work?” Shekia asked as she looked out the window.

“
Simple” Capo replied smoothly. “All you have to do is get on the plane and go to Miami and when you get there dial this number” he said handing her a little piece of paper with a number scribbled down on it.

Shekia took the paper and looked down at it. “Hold up, there’s no name on this paper!”

“
You don’t need a name. All you have to do is call the number” Capo said like it was no big deal. He knew Shekia was nervous and scared, but he also knew she was perfect for the job. “Relax” he told her as he stopped at a red light. “This is going to be the easiest job you’ve ever done.”

“
I want to believe you, but my gut is telling me otherwise” Shekia said sarcastically. She didn’t know why, but for some strange reason she trusted Capo and felt comfortable around him. It was the confident way he spoke like he owned the whole world that made her comfortable around the stranger. “Im trusting you” she said out loud.

“
Listen, this is going to be a piece of cake” Capo said as he pulled up to the passenger drop off spot at the airport. “Here” he said as he handed her five thousand dollars. “Go shopping while you out there just in case you get pulled over at least you’ll have some bags in the

trunk.”

Shekia took the money and slid it in her purse as she slid out the Benz. “If something goes wrong or doesn’t feel right can I call you?” Shekia asked sticking her head through the passenger’s window.

“
You can call me anytime” Capo said with a wink. “Handle your Business.” He said as he pulled off.

***

Capo pulled into his parking spot at his lounge and cut the engine off as he hopped out and headed towards the entrance. As he got closer to the entrance he noticed that two men who stood in front of the lounge stood out. Their white skin and trench coats gave away their identity as soon as Capo spotted them. Capo could spot a cop from a mile away.

“
Hey what’s up Capo” one of the detective said with a smirk on his face.

“
Fuck y’all want?” Capo asked in a bored tone as he gave the two bouncers who guarded the front door dap.

“
We just want to have a few drinks, and a couple of words with you” the other detective spoke up.

“
I don’t talk to pigs” Capo said causing the two bouncers to bust out laughing. “So if I’m not under arrest then y’all can kiss my ass” he said entering the lounge. “Motherfuckers” he mumbled under his breath. Capo looked behind him and saw the detectives enter the lounge. “This is harassment” Capo said as he pulled out his cell phone and snapped a picture of the two detectives.

“
Harassment my ass” the taller detective out of the two brushed Capo off by waving his hand. “This lounge is open to the public right?”

“
We just here to have a few drinks and enjoy ourselves” the shorter detective said as the two headed over to the bar. Capo just shook his head as he made his way over to his booth in the back of the lounge.

“
We got company” he announced nodding over to the bar.

“
Somebody snitching” Kim blurted out.

“
Nah we just hot right now” Capo said pouring himself a drink.

“
So what’s the plan?” Bone asked never taking his eyes off the two white men that sat at the bar looking suspicious and out of place.

“
Same plan we going to continue to get this money” Capo told him.

“
They don’t have anything on us, because if they did we would be in cuffs right now, they just fishing right now” he said as he answered his ringing cell phone. “Yo?”

“
I need you in my office right now we need to talk” Wayne said ending the call not trying to be disrespectful, he just didn’t like to talk on the phone. “Imma catch up with y’all later I gotta go see Wayne real quick” he said as he stood up.

“
When you plan on telling him?” Moose asked.

“
The end of the month” Capo said as he headed for the exit.

Capo pulled up in Wayne’s driveway and immediately he knew Wayne wasn’t alone by the red Lamgorghini that sat in the driveway. Wayne would never be caught driving a car like that. He always said it was too flashy and a police magnet. “This motherfucker is nice” Capo said to himself as he looked at the car for a second before heading for the front door. Capo rung the door bell and waited patiently for a response.

“
What’s up?” Tank greeted as he opened the door and stepped to the side so Capo could enter.

“
Where the big man at?” Capo asked walking through the mansion like he was the owner.

“
In the office” Tank replied as he followed Capo back into the office. Capo stepped in Wayne’s office and saw a beautiful woman sitting at the table along side Wayne. The woman wore an all white tight fitting woman’s suit to go along with the all white pumps that she wore on her feet. The woman favored the actress Angelina Jolie, but with a tan. Capo had to stop himself from staring. “Capo have a seat” Wayne said as he poured three drinks, he handed one to Angela, and slid the other one over to Capo. “Angela this is Capo, Capo this here is Angela, but you might know her better as The Teflon Queen.”
