The Assassination Of Ricco Brown
Trap House Tales
This is an expert from my ebook Trap House Tales.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Pierre Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, the French author who included it in his 1782 epistolary novel “Les Liaisons dangereuses” (Dangerous Liaisons).
Ricco posts up at the Whitesides Trailer Park where he serves up dope fiends every Friday which is payday for the civilians. Afterward, he goes to Alexis’s trailer for the night. The beauty of Whitesides Trailer Park is there are no street lights which is an ideal place for an assassination.
The police ride through at midnight and not again till the morning shift at 6 am. I’m in a blacked-out SUV donning blacked-out gear from head to toe and idling 100 yards away. I look at my dead homie Simmie Dave’s picture from my phone.
“Love you, my brother. Real niggas never die.”
I park in the bushes. It’s 2:00 am. I’m stealth like a hood ninja, blending in like a chameleon, more deadly than a black mamba. I walk up to the trailer kicking the front door off its hinges.
Ricco Brown comes out of the bedroom hot, firing shots into the darkness. He must feel Lucifer’s bastard son coming for his sinful soul.
