When we were last with Gerald he was coming out of jail on pass, asking around about his best friend, Gregory, and the rest of their crew.
I ain’t see the news. I was coming home.
I hearing they come pick me up in a Deuce 25. My partner, Marlin, come around, pick me up.
I’m like, “Man, what y’all been doing?”
They say, “Baby Gerald, man, s***. It’s Christmas time, man. We been putting on a lot of robbin’.”
I say, “Man, y’all been doing a lot of robbin’? S***, where y’all be going at?”
They say, “Across St. Charles, Irish Channel.”
I say, “S***, I’m out here on pass, man. I ain’t trying to get … I barely be out. But, you know … You ride, I ride.”
What went on to happen is, I’m out there with them but I don’t get down. Most time they go out, out there they can’t catch me. Because really I’m out chasing girls because I’m out on pass, I’m trying to get me some girls.
A while later, dude told me, “Man, man, Baby Gerald! Man, you seen the news!?”
I say, “What news?”
“Man, these n****s out here robbin’ got about hundred and something counts of robbery!”
I say, “Whaa??”
I look on the news. It was them! You know, it’s Gregory, Marlin, all my men.
I say, “Damn! Glad I ain’t messed with them n****s.”
But I used to ride with them. The only thing kept me out was I went back on my pass.
So I say, “Damn, I wonder how much time they gonna get?”
To be continued.
