The building was 3 stories tall, with about 30 rooms on each level. The bottom floor was a lobby with apartments, and there was a day room located in the northeast corner towards the back. The entrance from the south but just to the southwest is where you would come in to the building. Just to the left as you entered was a reception desk surrounded by the lobby. Just down the hall was the apartments and elevators to travel to the different floors. The second floor was very similar, but also possessed the laundry room and the cleaning supply closet. The third floor also similar. To the west of the building there was an access door which lead to the roof, also was connected by a staircase with access all the way from top to bottom. The building had been in the family for years, so Flexx decided to make a move to profit on the location. The surroundings were perfect for any situation, there was a bar in the area, a club, and a liquor store. You had your usual surroundings, like the bank down the street, or the grocery store up the block. There was a housing development a few blocks away, a school, you know your typical neighborhood. Flexx was in the area usually, he actually grew up around here, so he had a routine, everyone that knew him, knew he was a hustler. If you needed it, he had it, or can get it. Flexx had one of the better apartments in the building on the third floor. His apartment had the extension that made a patio out back, of course covered with the option of opened or closed. Flexx, like his relatives, would always be on the hustle, out here making moves, networking trying to make that connect. You could say he had a lot of stock in the neighborhood. One of his close homies, Taga, if you see one you more than likely will catch the other right with him, or not far. Their families new each other from back in the day. They came up together from youngsters. Walking up the block, Flexx makes his way over to the liquor store to pick up some cigars, and some drank. He enters and heads straight to the counter.

“Hello, let me get a pack of those cigars and a half pint of that cognac there.”

Flexx says as he reaches into his pocket for the money for the items. The tender passes him the pack of cigars and the half pint and takes the money.

“Thanks, and keep the change.”

Flexx smiles as he grabs his items and exits the liquor store. He makes his way about a block down the street and takes a left into the ally. There he would meet with one of his connects. It was either a pick up, or a drop off. All depending on the day, and who. He walks up and it was a local thug who he had seen around, but never talked with much.

“Can you hook me up.? I need a nickel sack.

The thug says, as he looks around holding a five dollar bill in his hand. Flexx takes a look at the cash, and reaches into his pocket to grab a sack.

“Here ya go. Stay up, “

He passes the thug the sack and departs ways back to his daily.  Walking back up the ally as he hits the block, he counts his money and tucks it away, still holding the bag of items from the liquor store. He heads back to his place, he had a few hours still before he had to make another run. He makes his way into the building and looks over at the receptionist and nods, also nodding at the doorman holding the front down. He walks over to the elevator and presses the button. While he waits he pulls out a blunt that was already rolled and lights it. As he takes a few drags of the blunt, the elevator arrives, he hops in and presses the third floor. He exits once the door open to the third floor and heads to his apartment. He walks in and places the items on the table as he grabs a glass from the cabinet. He pours himself a drink and continues to hit his blunt as he kicks back in the meanwhile.

After a few hours pass he looks at the clock and can see the time moving by fast. He had one more run to make before he got into his evening. Taga was going to meet him outside, they had a time set. He figured he had about thirty minutes or so before that. He rolls a few blunts, and pours himself another drink. He finishes rolling his last blunt, and takes the last sip of his drink. He gets his things together and makes his way downstairs. As he makes his way through the lobby out the front he looks back at the receptionist, tipped his hat and waived.

“Back later, hold it down up in here”

He exits the building and post up on the stoop just to the side of the building. Taga is at that time pulling up. Flexx walks over and jumps in.

“Hey brother, how's it going.? Let’s first stop off at the cleaners so I can pick up what we need.”

He says as he passes the blunt over to Taga. They needed to make another drop, this one was in the city, but came with a small meet. They were meeting Eve, one of Flexx’s side hustles out here, plus they were setting the stage for a lick. They continue their way towards the cleaners and Taga pulls up back and keeps the vehicle running. Flexx hops out and runs in really quick, and returns with a bag and hops back in the car.  They head to the west and then south towards the water to meet with Eve, plus drop off a package for her. It was a short drive, but just not down the street. They arrive and pull to the back of a small one story building. As they get out of the vehicle, Taga grabs the bag and they walk towards the back entrance. They reach the back door and wait. Flexx pounds on the door as he waits for a response. He takes another drag of the blunt and the door opens with a jerk.

“Who Is It!!”

It was the voice of a young lady with an attitude. Taga and Flexx step back slowly to get out of the way of the door.

“Oh, wassup? Come on in.”

Flexx and Taga enter behind Eve. As they walk in they can see there were a majority of females with a small amount of gentleman being attended too. Taga and Flexx look in awe at what they have been missing out on, they just stand there look at each other, and look back at the scene. If Eve would have not noticed they might have been standing there for who knows how long. She stops short and grabs them by both their collars.

“Come on! You two fools!”

She rolls her eyes as they snap out of it and follow her to the back room. A very casual and put together location. Flexx was here on other business tho. They walk into the room, it was like a lounge for meetings, very private and comfortable. Flexx and Taga take a seat, he looks at Taga and nods queuing him to hand her the bag. One of her associates take the bag and exit the room.

“So how have you been?, what do you have going on?”

She says as she lights a joint and takes a few puffs. She passes the joint to Flexx, he takes the joint and takes a long drag.

“So I have a buddy, who has an eye on a few trucks, and that is just the start, this guy has all kinds of licks we can hit. You down to put in some work?’

He takes a drag of the joint and passes it back as he waits to see Eve’s reaction.

“You know I am bout my paper, sign me up, let me know what you need from me.”

Eve says as she takes another drag of the blunt. She looks at Taga and Flexx with a smile as they just enjoy the moment.

“I will reach out once I get enough hands to handle the job. Appreciate ya.”

He stands up and gives Eve a hug before him and Taga exit.

“Oh real quick”

Flexx stops short.

“I like the setup you have here. “

He winks as they exit.

As they leave and make their way back to the house. Flexx needed to make another run. He needed to stop off at HQ and talk with a few of his associates. He needed a few hands and some heavy hitters to roll with him. What better place than to reach out to leadership, the head dogs. Flexx pulls a blunt out and fires it up. He takes a long drag and passes it to Taga. Just a quick drive across town, they reach the HQ and park around back. They are stopped at the gate before they are waived in. Flexx and Taga nod at the guards as the open the gates for them to enter. They slowly roll in and park. As they get out, one of the associates walk up to great the two. They shake hands as they move towards the back entrance. They nod to the fellow associates, looking at the crew as he entered he was proud to be part of such a family. He walks over and takes a seat at the bar as Taga makes his way around to mingle. He looks up at the tender as he pulls out his money clip and a blunt.

“Hey how’s everything going today?  Business good in the streets for ya?”

He fires up the blunt and places a five dollar tip on the counter.

“Everything is moving along smooth I would say. How is the hustle goin for you?”

The tender responds as he wipes the counter in front of Flexx, and places a napkin.

“What can I get ya?”

He stood and waited for a response. As Flexx sat for a moment puffing on his blunt.

“Let me get a shot of cognac, no Ice, “

He says as he takes another drag of his blunt and takes a look at the crew and fellow thugs around. The tender pours the shot and places an ashtray for his cigar smoke. Flexx takes his shot, and makes his way out to mingle with an associate or two. Everything seem to be fireing on all cylinders

Changes happen, and new faces appear. Flexx goes through the cycle but keeps his composure. There was a situation and the operation had to be spread out to Vegas. Seattle was still the spot but more time would be spent in Vegas building and networking. He lands in Vegas and his guard Slipp is there to pick him and Taga up. They had a lot to go over, things were spread out and they needed to place everyone for coverage. Everyone did not need to attend, but he did need a few of his top guards in the meet to discuss these plans. Flexx and Taga walk up to the vehicle and hop in.

“Thanks for the pick up. Who is all at the Estate?”

Flexx says as Taga passes him a blunt and he lights it. He takes a long drag and sits back waiting for a response from Slipp as he began to drive.

“Well Eve has been here a few days. Jeb may make it if he is late.”

Slipp says as he continues to the estate. Flexx sits back continuing to smoke the blunt on the way. It has been a while since he has seen Vegas, so he definitely wanted to scan the area looking for the perfect opportunity always. They make their way up the block and turn into the back of the estates. They hop out and enter the establishment from the back entrance. Flexx heads up to his room to drop his bags while the others do the same before they sit down and discuss business. Before Flexx could reach his room Eve stops him before he enters.

“Hey! How have you been, I haven’t seen you in a while. We should catch up later”

Eve says with a giggly smile on her face as Flexx maneuvers with a smirk himself into his room.

“Eh Girl. whats happenin. Haha. we will catch up later, let me get myself together so we can take care of some business, we have all night.”

Flexx says as he enters the room and places his bags on the couch. He takes a seat and relaxes for just a sec before he makes his way downstairs to get the meeting started.
