Logistics was the cream of the crop. The organization and movement of materials to the public or to a particular business. Flexx was on the mission for stability, and needed that one location to call his go to spot. In the streets is where it always starts. Flexx was out on a stroll getting his hustle on, making a stop here, dropping a pack there, it was always on, every corner or block you hit. On his daily hustle he would pass a location that was empty. It looked to be an office space, with a few things going on with it, or could be going on with it. Flexx continued on his hustle. A recent connect wants to touch base with Flexx, he was invited to a small coffee shop to discuss his venture. On his way he stops off at one of his short connects in the area for a quick re-up. In route to his meet, he could drop that off real quick. He slips off into an alley. He walks slowly as if he is just on a stroll. Just from the shadows appears a figure.

“Hey!  Flexx!”

The gentleman pokes his head from behind the dumpsters in the cut, and just about startles Flexx. He hesitates for just a second as he looks.

“Hey wassup, I got that for you here. “

The gentleman says as he comes out from behind the dumpster and looks around as he hands the package over to Flexx.

“Oh, and this one is just a jump off no charge”

The gentleman steps back and gets back to his own hustle. Flexx makes his way to the end of the alley so that he could check the package out. He looks around before taking a peak, He was looking for just the regular ounce he would drop off, but when he looked again, it was a complete brick. He knew the package was a bit on the heavy side, he paused and thought for just a moment. He quickly put aside the next drop and got everything together and made his way towards his drop before the meet. As he walked towards the location, he was a bit on edge, but more curious about this transaction. As he made his way he had a thought about the recent activity. He continues on his way and he arrives to his quick drop off. It was a dude named Phatcat. He had been dropping packs to this guy like clockwork since he started hustlin. He walks up to the door and knocks with a loud Bang!  

*KNOCK! KNOCK!*

“What Up!”

He yells at the door, Flexx enters and makes his way to the kitchen where Phatcat was handling business himself.

“What’s good brother? I got that sack for ya.”

Flexx says as he enters the kitchen and tosses the sack on the counter.

“Eh! What’s that?”

Flexx says as he approaches Phatcat at the stove cooking something.

“Just puttin together some work, go have a seat, I will be with you in a second”

Phatcat says, as Flexx makes his way to take a seat. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blunt and lights it. He takes a few drags and Phatcat makes his way over.

“Got some good I see. I am gonna be needing a lot more. I wanted to give you this extra for all your hustle. Come back later and we can talk.”

He passes Flexx an envelope and shakes his hand. He takes a long drag of the blunt before he passes it back to Flexx. He gets up and leaves Phatcat’s place with the envelope, also a little heavy. He wanted to get to his meet, before it got late. He made his way over to the coffee shop, a small location, not much traffic. A perfect spot for a meet without all the attention. He walks in and sees his old friend Blowed, he walks over and takes a seat.

“Hey How’s it going? How ya been?”

Flexx says as he pulls out a blunt and lights it. He takes a long drag and passes it to Blowed.

“I have been good just doing my thang you know. But the reason I wanted you to come down is to let you know about this location that was left for you, also this coffee shop, tho its not much but not a bad meeting spot. Now this location was your relatives estates. There is a lot of space and all different kinds of ways to move forward with estates so it will be up to you on how to tailor it, here goes the keys and it is all yours to do as you please.“

Flexx takes the keys and pause to look at them for a sec. Blowed passes the blunt back to Flexx and smiles. Flexx takes the blunt and takes a long drag.  

“So this is all me? Where is the paperwork?”

He takes another drag and passes the blunt back to Blowed. Taking another drag Blowed passes Flexx an envelope with a code and key for what it looks like was a safe.

“In the office. You might want this to be your spot  There is a safe with everything you need, any other questions will be answered once you get in there”

Blowed says as he pays his bill and gets up from the table.

“So Imma slide up outta here, imma go see my homie Gino, and see whats crackin in the streets. I will let you know if I hear of any good licks, Can't wait to see the place when I come by.”

Blowed shakes Flexx’s hand and makes his way towards the door. Flexx sits back down and pauses for a second. Thinking of what can become of this, he just relaxes for a second.

Flexx made his way over to the new location. The scene was a perfect setting for business. The building was large enough for a group of people. Flexx reaches the location and he stands out front looking at the place. He walks in the double doors and stands looking at the place from the inside. It was an open lobby with stairs to the left and right. The building was five stories high. In the middle of the lobby there was a reception desk, and behind that was one of the main offices, and security. There were couches in the lobby with coffee tables for patrons to relax in an open area. Flexx reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blunt. He smells it as he continues to absorb the place. He pulls out a lighter and lights the blunt as he takes a drag and makes his way over to the stairs. He needed to see the whole area anyway, he slowly made his way up to the fifth floor. Each floor he passed, he saw an emergency entrance from the stairwell to the inside on the second and the fourth floor. He went through the fourth floor entrance and it was a whole area that was ready for development. He stopped and paused to see the vision. Just inside the fourth floor were another set of stairs that gave access to the fifth floor. As soon he enters you could see the work that was put into the decorating. The wood was walnut, for the desk lined up in the middle. The tall oak doors to each office just along the perimeter. The walls covered with

Persian Wall Fill in Terra Cotta, with a Persian Jewel Trim. Hardwood floors with persian rugs placed everywhere. Flexx walked through the room and headed towards the back where his office was located. There were pictures and art on the walls, vintage hanging lamps for light. Flexx walks through looking around as he reaches his office. He walks in and scans the room. It was an office with a suite connected. The bag of gear he did have he placed in the room. He remembered the key he was given, and the code. He walks over to the desk and takes a seat. He looks through the drawers, and makes himself comfortable. He pulls out a blunt and lights it

With the location setup, Flexx was thinking of the businesses that would directly support the logistics move. Already in mind Flexx was thinking a cleaners and a smoking lounge. There were a few spots downstairs that could be rented out. For the cleaners and the lounge, one of the guards can be placed in each location with their own staffing. Connected to the lounge there would be a bar, just so there is a choice. Also in the back of the lounge there was a supply of marijuana that was available for purchase.  You would have to let the tender know if you were looking for any of that. The property had very good space. Besides the building there was a warehouse in the back. A whole logistics operation with storage warehouses and offices. Completely seperate but the same entity. The plan was to get one up and going at a time, make sure it is running good and then onto the next piece of expansion.

The Cleaners was definitely a good start, and the hope was to get the foot traffic in there on a regular so that once everything else pops up they would advertise itself. The layout was great, and Flexx was expecting a few of his crew or guards to arrive within the next day to help get things started. At that moment his time was free so he decided to step out and enjoy the evening. As soon as the others arrive, he has a meeting set up just to go over a few things. Everything was ready to go, as Flexx was leaving the movers were placing everything in their correct location. Flexx decides to go down to one of the local establishments to do some networking.  He fires his blunt up and makes his way down to another location. The scene was always great and there was usually much to do. He could see the foot traffic and the opportunities for business. He stops at a local bar to have a quick drink and maybe a social moment. You never knew what to expect in these streets.

Flexx had just left the cleaners and everything was lined up. He was heading to the logistics office as soon as he dropped the flyers off at HQ. He was with his guard Taga, he was driving and Flexx was sitting shotgun. Smoking a blunt they made their way up the blocks and through the streets. To the HQ where Flexx just needed to drop some things off and check on a thing or two. There was always at least a thing. They pull up to the HQ and hop out, as they walk up to the entrance Flexx takes a drag of his blunt and passes it to Taga. As they enter it was business as usual and things were moving just fine. He looked over as he made his way up to his office and saw TwoB on her hustle as usual. He nods to show recognition.  Before he made his way up to his office. He stopped at the reception area and dropped off a stack of flyers.

(“Flexx’s Cleaners Detroit, Come get your suit dry cleaned, Get that blood stain out with no questions”)

He headed to his office and entered. He grabbed a few items out of his drawer and headed back down to the vehicle with Taga. He had greeted a few of his associates on the way out, while mentioning to them to stop by the cleaners. They hop in the vehicle and head over to the logistics building in the industrial area.

“So I hope this connect comes through in Philly, it could really help with the expansion with the business.”

Flexx says as he lights a blunt and takes a drag. They hit a few blocks and arrive to their location. Taga pulls up around back and parks.

“Yea, we need to move around in as many spots as we can, no need to seclude ourselves to a certain area.”

Taga says as he takes the blunt from Flexx and takes a drag before he gets out. Flexx gets out and heads inside. He makes a stop by the receptionist and picks up any notes or messages left while he was gone.

“You have some work on your desk Mr. Mitchell.”

The receptionist says as she looks up with a smile passing the paperwork over to Flexx. He looks back at Taga.

“Meet me in the lounge in about an hour. I wanna go over a few things with ya.”

Taga nods and Flexx grabs the papers and heads to his office. As he enters he tosses the papers on his desk and walks over to the short bar. He pours himself a drink and takes a seat. Reaching into his stash drawer he pulls out a blunt and some herb and rolls one up. He lights it and takes a few drags as he makes his way through the paperwork on his desk.
