Misses Misses Piggy was Comin Down the Block...

I rode in the county Suburban and looked at the men who surrounded me. True enough we had been on this ride countless of times. Each one of them just like me brought something to the table. We were all silent as we listened to Captain Fairfield bark orders over the radio. The camaraderie amongst us was thick. It's like that with cops. No matter what civilians think, they really don't understand what goes on and or what it takes to be an officer unless you have been through it. We were on our way to Sunnyside, Asia's Queendom. Check a Hoe Texas is what the streets called it. But we weren't after Alicia. No we set our sights on her nemesis. Arnissha Lynn. Arnissha Lynn had a cocaine trade you wouldn't believe. She had been dealing out of the Sunnyside district for about the last twenty years. Alicia had started under her. Lynn was a mean bitch. She made no qualms about it. She had beautiful skin the hue of a new penny. A crown of beautiful natural locks, full lips and hips and the deadliest shot in Houston under me. Her weapon of choice? Well she had a pair of .45 gold plated. On each handle "Monkey" was inscribed. This was in the memory of her legendary mother. There was something about Lynn though. She carried herself not like the hood chick you would expect but she had an extensive vocabulary and very well traveled. I remember her writing a very large check for Shannon Monet's run at taking Sheila Jackson Lee's spot. We got a tip that she would be going out to one of her trap houses to collect. We had been trying to get her for years. I knew that Arnissha Lynn wouldn't go quietly and even after we made the arrest she would probably get off. She was one of the wealthiest women in Houston. I put on my vest and fastened it tight. I could feel the platinum DSW pendant still in my bra. Lynn didn't put any fear in my heart. I had taken down Ivory Albro. She would be nothing. We pulled up a block away from her trap. I had phoned Alicia and she told me as a courtesy to me she would shut business down. I laughed. A courtesy to me huh? I called my informant and he said that Lynn had just pulled up. Bet. We waited. The informant would call us when she went into the house. My adrenaline was rushing just as my team members. Times like this we were all on one heartbeat. "Change of plans, Piggy." He threw a white tshirt at me. "Change your shirt." I did as I was told. I took my black HPD shirt off right there in front of twelve other men. They whistled. "Y'all are some perverted assholes." Laughter exploded. I put my gun in a holster and slid the holster to my back. "Piggy go get her. We'll be in your ear. Holler when you need us. Split. East and west of the house. Piggy and Bertran through the front." I nodded my head. I got out of the truck and cut through an alley on to Tangerine. I blended in. Walked up the street with my thumb in my mouth. This particular house sold weed, cocaine, and pills. In large volumes but you still get the occaisonal dime sack here too. I walked up to the screen door. I heard somebody whistle. "What's up Red?" I nodded my head. "What's up? Can I get a ten?" He said yeah. Hold on." This shit was sloppy. There was about five men in the front room. I could smell Donna Karen's Apple. Arnissha Lynn was in this house. I peered straight to the back and a door opened. She walked out. Dressed head to toe in Ramona Cavalli. She had on red Ramona Cavalli satin pumps. I saw her push a wad of money into her cleavage. She didn't look my way. The man brought me my weed and I slid him the marked ten. In my earpiece, I rapped "Mister Mister Scarface was coming down the block, out jumped some fiends and they tried to steal his rocks!" Arnissha looked up at me but then it was too late. She drew her pistol but mine was at her temple. My team was everywhere. "Face down motherfuckers. Bertran, see what and who all in the back." Lynn laughed. "I can't believe this shit." "Believe it chick. DROP these pistols." She obeyed. "I ain't worried. I'll get those back. They registered." I took my handcuffs and added them to the bracelets she already wore. All in all we arrested twenty individuals including the Queen Bee herself. I escorted her outside and put her in the car. She looked at me. I peered back at her. She shook her head. "How long you been doing this?" "For a while. Why?" She snorted. "Cuz I've been doing THIS for a long time and you're nothing like any officer I've ever seen. Your eyes tell a story." I wasn't about to let her get in my head. I started on the report. "Didn't have a good feeling about this anyway. Knew something was going to happen. It's cool. I was just here." I turned to look at her. She looked away. "When I was your age, I was already a millionaire and could account for it too. I paid taxes that year." She smiled. "So you confessing?" She laughed again. "I can say what I wanna say and you MF's couldn't do a thing about it." Damn this bitch is cocky. "You are sitting here admitting to me that you bricklaying." She nodded. "Yes I am." I kept writing. "Tell me this. Why didn't you turn on that dash camera and recorder." Damn! She had me. "My guess is that you want to talk to me. And what you wanna talk about, can't be heard by anyone else." With her head she pointed to my captain standing on the front porch. I looked back at her. She looked me dead in the eye and then she bowed her head. "Lynn, I might need your help. Only thing is I don't wanna have to kill you." She nodded her head. "I feel the same way little girl. Our dillema. What have you done?" "Nothing, I didn't have to do." "I tell you what, after I'm released, and I will be released, you look me up. I'll see what I can do. Do you come from AB's camp?" I shook my head. "You know her though, don't you?" "Yeah I know her." I knew what that meant so I would talk to Alicia because she was now a part of my camp. She hit the back of the seat. "Come on now we need to hurry this along. Gotta contact my lawyer so these ridiculous charges will be dropped. I have reservations at Shannon's Plate." I got out of the car and an officer took Lynn downtown. We recovered a couple of Kilos and several pounds. Lynn had close to twenty thousand dollars on her. Me and the boys got ready to bring it in. My cell rings. Its Yulonda. I knew she'd find me. "Hello." "I can meet you at the Hiram Clarke Zoo in a hour." "Make it two." I hung up on her. I was King. I wasn't bending for nobody. I said my goodbyes to my team and I headed southwest. I put Scarface is back in the CD Changer. Marvelled at my city. How I loved Houston. It would love me back. What is the opposite of love? Hate. Houston would hate me too. Didn't matter because there would be times where the feeling was mutual. I had a meeting with an exotic yella bone. I called Texas Tea and let her know where I would be and drove off into the night. I would give Yulonda some options. She could be with me or against me. We all knew what would be conducive to her health. Misses Misses Piggy was coming dine the block out jumped some goons who wanted her crown with rocks....
