Just like my dad to get right to the point. “Word is, Kevin King’s tryna take over. Calls himself Darkman.” “How’d you know?” “Ain’t no secret. I know the family. They too ambitious for they own good.” “Why the hell did he come to Brooklyn?” “A few years back, his brother Max tried to run me outta business. Thought because I wasn’t backed by a gang that he could set up shop right on top of me. He was wrong.” “What you do?” “Brought him in. Fucked him up till he was almost dead. Sent him back to Miami.” “Shit. So this is Max’s revenge?” “I don’t think this was Max’s idea. He knows it would be setting up his brother for certain death. Nah, this is about Kevin wanting to show up his brothers. Kevin thinks if he can take over the Johnson territory—something Max couldn’t do—he’ll be on top.” “Do they know you’re still in the picture?” “Trust me, son, they know.” “You don’t have to worry, Dad. We ain’t giving up nothing to them.
