    Gangsta Kid doesn't move like a chump toward the money right away. She ain't no fool. She waits. And when Nous sets her half-in-advance, half-after terms? She grins. Gangsta Style. Lotta teeth. "Aiiiight, lady. You know what's what." She accepts the first half, stuffs it in her Gangsta Pocket (read: pant pocket), and puts her feet on the ground. "Why you starin' at me, yo?" Dirty gangsta look. The stare meant nothing to her, nothing but disrespect, but whatever. Girl was payin'.

    Girl also realized that Gangsta Kid was in fact a Sleeper.

    "Later, cracka'," she calls after Cut. "Man, yo' boy there doesn't talk much, do he? He an' Alejandro here might get along good." Thumb over shoulder, aimed at her buddy, who was also texting. "They can text to each other and shit."

    "Name's Shaniqua, son. Let's talk turkey. I got a new ride to buy. So cops are all up in this place. Wires down. Dude's fuckin' dead-as-nails right there, right over there,"
    she said, pedaling on over to a spot in the middle of the road. Fuck cars. Cars could move for Shaniqua. Her buddy Alejandro stopped texting for a moment, pedaled on over to a similar position behind and slightly to her left, and then resumed texting. "Right here." She stomped her little foot right on the spot.

    The spot was right beneath the powerline, a few yards from the nearby pole. Like if you had severed the line, where it would have naturally fell. "This was where that dead white boy was. Cops all over the fuckin' place. I heard them sayin' something 'bout a name. Something Harris. Like that funny cracka on How I Met Your Mother. I think they wuz referring to the dead guy. Dead as a doornail. Heard 'em talking about the powerline having come down, but having no idea why. Fuckin' weird."

    Cut


    Cut begins to head up to the building. Front door is still open, and the fella and old people that had been there in the lobby are not.

    West, I'll tag you into the other thread once it's appropriate. Gonna let a couple posts go back and forth in case Auto/Mandy do anything relevant.

    "You think I'm new at this? You don't know shit I can't read in the paper, do you."

    She looks visibly disappointed in the lack of useful information. She puts her phone in her pocket to leave her hands free and puffs out her chest, stepping out into the street and right up into Shaniqua's space.

    "And here I thought I was going to actually get what I was paying for. What do you know that you're not telling me? I know you want to see that other picture of Ben. And we both know that you're not going to see it unless you give me the fucking information I need."

    Raising her voice is not something Nous did lightly, but when you're getting dicked around by some big thinking, small time, good for nothin' hoodrat, you raise your voice and lay the law down.

    "So what is it gurl? You got something you need to tell me?"

    She's not necessarily going to start a fight, but she's sure ready for shit to get real. There's only two kids on bikes and she's packing lead and supernal heat.

    Shaniqua nonchalantly said, "Don't you be getting up in my face, lady. I will slap you, you keep that shit up. Loooordy. Just relax. I'm gettin' to it."

    Nine year old girl. She was like four foot two. Slapping the shit out of her. Never going to happen. She wasn't even scary. It was kind of amusing, actually.

    She was totally frontin', though. Tryna get the Benjamins on the cheap. Could Nous blame her?

    "Look. I was watchin' this shit, but what they missed is that that motherfucker was blasted clean through, 'na mean? Big fucking burn, all the way through his chest. I been watching Crime TV since I was four years old. Ain't nobody I ever seen on crime TV with a huge fuckin' hole in their god damn chest."

    Five years crime TV experience. Not to be fucked with.

    "So I go and I ask some of the other kids. One of the kids, fuckin' Tommy Shithead Burns livin' in the apartment over there?" She headjutted over at the apartment where the cops lived. "He saw the whole thing. Lightning. Hands. He full of shit."

    She pulls out the other half of the money, her phone, and a scrap of paper and pen. She scribbles something on the paper and hand it to Shaniqua.

    "You think of anything else or run into trouble with the guy that the cops are lookin' for, you give that number a call right away. You're smart enough that you know if there's one dude with a hole through his chest, that dude is strong enough to fuck you up, no matter how much this is your street. And if you're smart, you won't go talking about any of this either."

    She fires off a text on her phone now that her hands are free of the 'burden' of all that cash.

    "And don't go fuckin' spending it all on shit that's gonna rot your brain."

    At least Nous isn't stupid enough to not be wearing flats with a pant suit, because she starts jogging towards the building as soon as Shaniqua is all squared away. And even if she maybe isn't, there's a much more pressing problem in Tommy Burns.

    Shaniqua accepted the piece of paper, taking a skeptical gangsta look at it before gangsta leaning over her handlebars. "I know. Shit ain't real... is it?" She frowned, accepting the cash. "Pleasure doin' bidness with you, Elle. You come 'round any time you want. Bring you friends Benjamin."

    Nous and Cut continue here.
