The Brothers

The next morning, Cam, Odell, Colin and Luke were all at the club, being questioned by detectives.

"Until we finish the investigation, we have to shut you down."

"...and how long will that take?" Colin asks.

"I don't know, days, weeks, months."

"We don't have days, weeks or months. This is how we make a living." Cam says.

"There's nothing further we can do."

"Maybe there is." Colin reaches into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulls out money. "Give us a couple weeks to see if we can find the dickhead that did this, and we'll hand him over to you personally. He might be banged up a bit, but he'll be alive." Colin holds the money out towards one of the detectives.

"Two weeks." One says, taking the money from Colin's hands.

"Good day, gentlemen." Colin says, letting them knew that was their cue to go. Odell, cam, Colin and Luke watch as they exit the club.

"So, how exactly are we suppose to find these guy?" Odell asks.

"No clue." Colin says.

"Well, luckily I was able to get the name of the friend that was with the girl. Maybe she'll be willing to talk to us."

"that girl is probably long gone, in a corner crying somewhere." Odell says.

"That was a little insensitive, don't you think?"

"How? She just lost her friend...doing illegal shit. She'd probably wants nothing to do with the cops."

"Good thing we're not the cops. Cam, get in contact with her, maybe she'll be willing to talk to us." Colin says.

"You got it."

After trying to get in contact with the girl about five times, he waits to try again, and she finally answers and after some tough convincing, she decided to cooperate with Cam and tell him everything. She even sent a picture of what the guy looked like.

Cam goes back to the bar to see Colin sitting there typing away on his phone.

"Where'd O and Luke go?"

"Went to get something to eat. Any luck?" Colin asks.

"Yeah, she talked, and even sent a picture she took with his dumbass."

"You lyin!?" Colin says in disbelief.

"Nope. Look at this shit." He shows Colin the picture.

"This dumb mothafucka here. If you gone sell drugs, don't let the nigga you sell it to take a picture of you. Damn I thought niggas were smarter than this."

"So what you wanna do, wanna turn that into the detectives."

"Hell no. Fuck them doughnut eating ass niggas. Besides, Stern could have gotten to them and told them to do anything to jeopardize this case. Nope. We gone find this nigga our damn selves and turn him in and clear us from this bullshit."

"I'll brief everyone at the staff meeting to keep an eye out for him. I'm sure he wasn't just a one time goer here."

"Let's hope he's not. I don't need this turning into a wild goose chase. I need this over with within the next few days. Not weeks...days."

"Agreed. I got better shit to worry about these days."

"You and me both." Colin sighs.

"What's goin on?"

"Found the nigga who keeps hittin us. Only problem is, it's Marcus."

"Don't that lil nigga got some type of loyalty towards you."

"That's why it's not making sense to me."

"You sure it's him."

"That's what I'm being told."

"So what you gone do?" Colin's silent. "That's a lot a blood on your hands."

"You think I don't know that? I gotta do it. Can't risk being hit again. I need to make sure that everything is good so that when Cain gets out, I can gladly hand this shit back over to him and be out. I'm sick of this shit."

"We all are."

"I appreciate y'all hanging in there with me on this. I know it's not easy. You got your family. Luke and O got their girls. All this could really come crashing down at any moment but y'all still stuck with me."

"Yeah, well we know you wouldn't put us in harms way." Colin nods. "When you gonna do it?"

"Tonight."

"Well, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do...I'll see you later tonight. Maybe we'll catch what's his face tonight."

"I'm counting on it." Colin says before Cam walks off.

----------------

Later that night, Luke takes the night off to be with Carly. Odell does the same with Kash, so it's just Colin and Cam for the night. They keep their heads on a swivel, making sure they're on the lookout on their drug dealer. There was no sign of him.

They stay until the club closes and gets clean. Cam goes home to Kai and Colin has leaves out of the club in black sweats and a hoodie. He has to make a pit stop before going home.

After he finished the job, immediately guilt took over him. He couldn't go back home just yet. He knew he couldn't go to Cam's, he and Kai are most likely sleep. Same with O and Kash, and he didn't want to bring this to their peaceful households. However, he didn't really care for Carly, so he didn't mind waking up Luke, and he knew Luke wouldn't mind.

He pulls up to Luke's apartment and walks up to his door. After knocking a few times, the door slowly opens. Luke knows what's up and he lets him in. They sit in his living room, talking for about 30 minutes. Not knowing that Carly was wide awake due to Luke getting out of bed.
