time, you hadn’t hooked a nigga up in a minute,” he exclaimed. “Gimme fifteen minutes. I’ll be right there.”
    Lonnie was a world-class hustler from Piedmont Court. He and Brandy had twisted a lot of chicks out together on many occasions. Or, whenever one of them was tired of a sex partner, they passed them off to the other.
    Before Brandy knew it, Lonnie was knocking at her back door. As he stepped inside the house Brandy put a finger to her lips in order to silence him. She could tell that Lonnie was overexcited, maybe a bit over anxious. He knew this had to be good. Brandy wouldn’t call him for nothing.
    “Yo, what’s up with this be quiet shit?” he asked. “I ain’t got time for all this. I gotta be somewhere. Let me do me, so I can go.”
    “Would you calm down for minute and let me tell you the deal,” she insisted. “Now listen, all you gotta do is…”
    Brandy instructed Lonnie on how to go about everything. This was a delicate situation; if it was handled wrong, then it could mean a rape charge for somebody. Once Brandy put him down with the situation, Lonnie knew he had to use some finesse. After awhile, Lonnie began to have second thoughts about things. He sent Brandy in his place to make sure everything was a go.
    Inside the bedroom, Shantell lay on the bed covered by only a white sheet. Brandy walked in and immediately joined her. After a few passionate kisses, Brandy popped the question.
    “Shantell, you know I love you, right?”
    “Yeah, I know,” Shantell replied.
    “Well, listen…I got this friend sitting’ in the living room. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to take care of him for me. Alright?”
    If Shantell ever thought that Brandy loved her or even cared for her, she now knew it wasn’t true. Brandy had sold her out just like everyone else, just when she was at a vulnerable point in her life.
    “Wait right here. I’m going to send him in.”
    The instant Lonnie laid eyes on Shantell, he got excited. The girl was pretty, young, and in shape. That was a deadly combination in his eyes. He stripped off his clothes and proceeded to have sex with Shantell.
    During the course of their sexual encounter, Shantell was so wet, that Lonnie’s condom had slipped off without him even knowing. He was horrified to make that discovery after he ejaculated inside Shantell. It was too late; there was nothing he could do about it.
    After Brandy had passed Shantell off to Lonnie, she began to have second thoughts about her. Shantell became soured on the idea of having a relationship with Brandy. Soon, they went their separate ways.
    As Shantell struggled with her sexuality, her brother had problems of his own. The black cloud that surrounded Piedmont Courts had engulfed Reggie too. He had fallen in with an older crowd; a group of stick-up kids to be specific. They had been using Reggie as a fall guy. They had him commit the crimes they wouldn’t dare do.
    Since Reggie looked up to them, he had no problem putting a gun in his hand and robbing people. He had robbed almost every Circle K gas station in the city twice. Pictures of Reggie began to appear on the nightly news and on some city billboards. His days as a free man were numbered. It was another crime that ultimately would become Reggie’s undoing.
    Returning home from a failed robbery attempt, Reggie decided to rob the taxicab driver who had driven him home. The robbery turned into a homicide when the cab driver resisted. Reggie blew the African man’s brains out.
    This senseless killing had appalled an entire city. Law enforcement authorities had put a lot of heat on the street. Eventually one of their snitches gave up Reggie’s name. Previously, he had been overheard bragging about the crime in the projects.
    Late at night, the S.W.A.T. team raided the Bryant home and found the murder weapon. Neither Shantell nor her mother was home at the time. The case was open and shut.
    Reggie Bryant was tried and convicted. He was
