<div>Just has to hold on 7 more months.
</div><div>Just 7.
</div><div>Last birthday inside.
</div><div>Turning 26 in 5 days.
</div><div>A Big one.
</div><div>Realizes he's now in his late 20’s.
</div><div>“What happened? Where did time go?”
</div><div>Nation is thin.
</div><div>Average height.
</div><div>Heart is Giant sized.
</div><div>“Big and Tall attitude, baby gap body.”
</div><div>His friend Montray used to say that.
</div><div>“Friend.”
</div><div>Not anymore.
</div><div>Montray, tried to turn state’s evidence against him.
</div><div>Him!
</div><div>They’d known each other for their entire lives.
</div><div>Grew up in apartments so close, they talked through the walls.
</div><div>Had their own codes.
</div><div>Several of them.
</div><div>In the county Jail, before the discovery motion came back and showed Montray had made sworn statements, they had been unbeatable at spades.
</div><div>Seemed to know each other’s thoughts.
</div><div>It kept the impoverished pair with snacks and ‘soups'.
</div><div>Ramen noodles, or soups as they were known, were currency, a mediocre meal tray went for 1 soup.
</div><div>Just 1 of the undersized ‘chicken’ leg quarters cost 2 soups, if competition was fierce, it might net 3.
</div><div>The pair had conned their way to full “lock boxes.”
</div><div>Then one morning Montray was gone. Nation, was selling his breakfast sausages by himself.
</div><div>Next day his attorney had given him heartbreaking News.
</div><div>Evidence had later proven Montray lied.
</div><div>Attempted to make Nation seem like their crime's mastermind.</div><div>Text messages proved Nation had been duped into participating.</div><div>Wanna be snitch wound up with 15 years.
</div><div>Nation, pled out to 3 years.
</div><div>Kept to himself for the most part.
</div><div>Flew under the radar.
</div><div>Didn’t gamble on Spades anymore.
</div><div>Couldn’t read anyone else like he could his childhood friend.
</div><div>Shines ‘State Boots’ in elaborate patterns for snack foods.</div><div>Can turn the ugly 3rd rate leather boots into glistening masterpieces.
</div><div>His own boots have so much shoe polish at the toes, they glisten like ink black candy apples.
</div><div>Clients of discernment purchase his supplies, those guys have multiple pairs of boots.
</div><div>State gave you 2 pair, one for your work detail, one for visiting and inspection.
</div><div>During inspection you were expected to wear clean shoes.
</div><div>Just clean.
</div><div>Warden was impressed by Nation’s footwear.
</div><div>The man 'allowed' the inmate to shine his boots.
</div><div>More officers requested him.
</div><div>Box is full again.
</div><div>He’s been on ‘detail' since 06:00.
</div><div>Commissary Trustee.
</div><div>It’s simple.
</div><div>Gather the orders from computer print outs.
</div><div>He doesn’t have any friends.
</div><div>Customers and inmates.
</div><div>It's cool with him.
</div><div>Montray has spoiled and warped his trust.
</div><div>Is surprised when he gets to the dormitory.
</div><div>The other inmates have prepared a party for "The Sto Man."</div><div>Ramen noodle casserole made with chips, pretzels, tuna, and crackers, Also has a cake made from mushed up candy bars and pastries.
</div><div>Casserole is big enough for everyone to get some, takes up most of a 6 foot section of the Day room table.
</div><div>"Appy Bert Day Sto Man."</div><div>“Happy Birthday shoeshine Man!”
</div><div>Even received a hand made Cross as a gift.</div><div>Shows that he is respected by his peers.</div><div>7 months might not be that difficult.

font-size: medium;">Hired him last minute. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Standing in front of Home Depot, looking for work</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Needed bodies. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The bigger the better. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Size matters. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">All the time. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I've been the head of security at a lot of places. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Worked Security at a lot more still. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Learned that while I would rather have warriors, primed and ready for violence at any moment, having larger, more dangerous looking individuals is more important than having persons who are actually dangerous. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I just needed someone who looked dangerous. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A massive body to discourage bad behavior. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">His body seemed to fit the bill. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">6' 9" 348 lbs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You have to be pretty drunk to swing on a man that large. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Only had a month to train him.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Knew he wasn't a fighter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Over the years I've developed a nose for that. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Have employed some monstrously over-sized people who couldn't fight gnats off themselves. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Jokingly called them "Big for Nothings."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Also had some relatively small individuals who were deadly. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lethal guys always have to show their virulence. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Big "teddy bears" rarely have to fight. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Put him with one of the aforementioned Pernicious bouncers, a 5' 10" 206 lbs. head breaker, named Hassan.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Hassan was my go to guy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Two black belts. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Jiu Jitsu.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Krav Maga.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Even before the training Hassan was a bad ass. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Out of the 30 guys I had working for me at the time, he was the one I would want at my back the most.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Figured as long as I had Hassan working with my "Big for Nothing" temp guy, everything would be okay. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Even worked with the newbie, who had decided he wanted to be called "Diablo" myself. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While he was green he wasn't scared.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Hassan and I had pretty much trained the regular patrons.</span></p><p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">They knew if they got out of line we would bust their head.</span></span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-d2801114-7fff-b9c4-3e89-7db337fca0cf" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295;

<div>Not easily approachable.
</div><div> Quick to anger, sharp tongue, acerbic wit, he can't help but be insulting, it's literally all he knows.
</div><div>How he’s wired.
</div><div>This particular day the downstairs neighbor is having it out with one of the neighborhood teenagers. “Boy is I’m fucking with you? Seriously am I fucking with you? Then why the fuck is you fucking with me?”
</div><div>I don't have a dog in this fight.
</div><div> Teenage boy is a piece of shit too.
</div><div>Lives three doors down, downstairs.
</div><div>Think his mother is maybe 12 or 13 years older than him.
</div><div>She has the maternal instinct of a Shark.
</div><div>The loud neighbor is maybe in his mid fifties.
</div><div>Around here I am the closest to him in age in the complex.
</div><div> Should probably be his friend but I'm not.
</div><div>Don’t care for people very much.
</div><div>Guess I'm what you'd call an introvert.
</div><div>Growing up with a preacher Daddy I learned scripture real quick.
</div><div>There’s a scripture in Proverbs that says “ A man breaking up fight is like grabbing the ear of a dog.” That might not be an exact quote, but, I don’t care to be bit by the dogs these young dudes carry.
</div><div> The old man is going to get himself killed.
</div><div>Toss my cigarette butt over the banister, step back inside my apartment.
</div><div>My apartment is nice.
</div><div>Not on the outside.
</div><div>On the outside it’s a piece of shit and I’m embarrassed to have people over.
</div><div>It’s the best my pension will pay for.
</div><div>Inside, I have created the space I feel like I deserve.
</div><div>Spend some of the extra I squirreled away.
</div><div>Huge mirrors.
</div><div>Exquisite furniture.
</div><div>Unique accessories.
</div><div>One of a kind art works.
</div><div>Like an island in the middle of the ghetto.
</div><div>Every time I step outside my door I’m armed.
</div><div>Got the pocket rocket on me right now.
</div><div>Raised voices make me nervous.
</div><div>Another story for another day.
</div><div>I’m kind of suspicious.
</div><div>Been hurt and disappointed a lot.
</div><div>Sit in my throne chair.
</div><div>It’s hot.
</div><div>Really funky.
</div><div>Mack mouth, a buddy from the Corp, took me to the flea market, I got it there.
</div><div>100% recycled materials.
</div><div>Looks like a real throne.
</div><div>Comfortable to my bad back.
</div><div>Noise outside is getting under my skin.
</div><div>Reminds me of Kandahar.
</div><div>Turn up my music.
</div><div>Block out everything.
</div><div>Memories flood in.
</div><div>Lives I’ve taken.
</div><div>See their eyes.
</div><div>Hear the cries of the dying.
</div><div>Get a fresh bottle of Southern Comfort.
</div><div>Drown out the voices, pain, evil recollections.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: right;">
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: left;">I was talking to a friend the other day about surviving our childhood.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't know about anyone else but I barely made it out alive. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had broken bones and near drownings more than once.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bee, hornet, and yellow jacket stings, tick bites, poison ivy, I think the only poisonous thing that I avoided was snakes and still saw plenty of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the daylight hours I was fearless and fierce. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We weren't never ever sick, I have to think that it had something to do with what we ate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh and did we eat well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Muscadines, plums, blackberries, peaches, apples, we plucked these straight from the trees and ate them as we walked from place to place. However our favorite delicacy was Watermelon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was a huge fan of watermelon back then and that is how the events of this story took place.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My father and Mother both come from large families, who in turn created large families of their own.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My father had 26 siblings, My mother was one of 13. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Add in the factor of the town being more of a village and as you can imagine most of my playmates and neighbors were my relations. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hence whenever I "borrowed" watermelons from Mr. "Bully" Coleman's 100 acre watermelon patch I didn't feel as though I was doing anything wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My cousin Mark and I would walk down into the middle of the "Wada melon Paych" and literally lay in the sun eating just the hearts of the melons.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being full was no excuse to stop eating them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh no. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We would eat, and eat, and eat some more until nausea kept us from putting one more of the tender sweet morsels into our mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On one of these occasions Mark and I were accompanied by another cousin although at the moment I can't remember which of the 5 billion or so he was.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The road had just recently been paved after a couple of centuries of being hardened red clay. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The day started like any other. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mark, the anonymous cousin and I tiptoed to the center of the field. As usual we gorged on Watermelon hearts until we felt ill, traded lies, and tried to appear grown by out cussing one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had been cursing up a blue streak when an odd sound silenced us and made us pay close attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Chick, chick, chick, chick," </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our juvenile eyes locked and bounced from person to person. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"What that is?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mark asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At precisely that moment One of Cousin Bully's blue tick hounds peeked his long forlorn looking head onto the row where we were. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The noise had been his paws against the pavement. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To our young minds it seemed as if he were checking us out and memorizing who we were. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After looking each of us in our eyes, the dog nodded his over sized skull once. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's floppy ears gave a slight bounce, It looked as if it had made a firm decision. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Myself and my fellow delinquents watched the nod in slow motion. Somehow we knew that the dog was going to snitch us out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As the "Chick, chick,chick chick" of the blue tick paws receded the three of us ran for our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why we thought the dog could tell on us I don't know, but somehow we knew he was a snitch. </div>
</div>
</div>

Grant Washington, his is a powerful sounding, but cliche name.<br />
He hasn't done much with his life, but he's young and there is plenty of time to get it right.<br />
Grant is 26, he works a lot.<br />
He has Champagne tastes, strives to emulate the wealthy in his appearance, speech, mannerisms, and as much as possible possessions.<br />
<div dir="ltr">
To that end, Grant shops at consignment stores, Online and physical, and he buys from shoplifters regularly.<br />
Doesn't see it as wrong.<br />
It's not as if he's doing the stealing.<br />
The stores that are stolen from have insurance.<br />
The stuff is already stolen he's just buying it.<br />
Grant works full time.<br />
He is a Customer Service Rep.<br />
He also is a bar back at club Illusions 3 nights a week.<br />
Working at club illusions is a blessing and a curse, a blessing because it is another few hundred dollars each week, a curse because it puts the type of people Grant aspires to be, in his face a lot.<br />
It reminds him of the things that he doesn't have the things that he wants.<br />
He has to see all the nice cars.<br />
The expensive watches.<br />
Nice clothes.<br />
Diamonds.<br />
Let's be frank, the women that drape on those types of men's arms are for sale as well.<br />
Grant wants all of that.<br />
His current vehicle is a hybrid.<br />
Not the electric kind.<br />
It has the 2016 BMW 740Li frame, it's motor and transmission were pieced together at the junkyard, the car looks immaculate but has a salvage title and is worth $2200 according to his insurance company.<br />
Each weekend Grant is reminded of the things that he doesn't have.<br />
He spends almost his entire barback pay with the shoplifters or boosters as they are known.<br />
Snookie has been his contact for over a year.<br />
She can steal anything.<br />
80% of Grant's wardrobe has been under Snookie's clothes at some point.<br />
Things first changed when Grant decided to move into the heart of the city.<br />
Decided that he needed to be in a highrise.<br />
Of course, $16 hourly doesn't quite justify a Highrise apartment in Buckhead.<br />
On any floor.<br />
Snookie knows somebody that knows somebody.<br />
She's sure she can help him get what he wants.<br />
All it requires is that he use credit cards to purchase clothes and return them for cash.<br />
Sounds like a plan, especially if he gets to wear them first. <br />
Things started off according to plan.<br />
Grant is able to floss the nice things that he is buying, women are impressed by his location and the contents of his apartment.<br />
Then things get a little bit more complicated.<br />
Now the guy that Snookie knew approaches Grant directly.<br />
He is to get cable at different addresses then order bogus cellphones, credit cards, etc.<br />
All Grant has to do is pick up the packages and keep using the credit cards.<br />
Truly doesn't understand everything that's going on.<br />
He just knows that he has somehow made connections at all of the right places.<br />
Print store employees bend the rules for him and he has some convincing-looking Dali and Picasso reproductions.<br />
He's bootlegged more artists for the hangings in his bedroom.<br />
Rugs.<br />
Furniture.<br />
Kitchenware.<br />
He sees Snookie plying her trade often, soon it makes sense for him to quit his CSR job and use the bogus credit cards full time.<br />
Grant is making about $7,500 a week.<br />
Mall staff is starting to recognize him.<br />
Time to expand his territory.<br />
Cumming, Dahlonega, Gainesville, Birmingham.<br />
His 2019 Escalade is racking up the miles.<br />
Snookie is feeling the heat.<br />
She's had one too many close calls in Atlanta.<br />
Lennox, Phipps, Northlake, even Cumberland Mall have her picture hanging in the security office.<br />
She contacts her client and friend Grant.<br />
They are a force of nature.<br />
Malls and shopping plazas within 8 hours of Atlanta in every direction are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.<br />
Snookie moves into the building across the street and gives Grant an idea.<br />
Soon he has three other empty apartments and crooked doormen and concierges all over.<br />
That's when something important happened.<br />
At that point, Grant went from a dupe, just a cog, a stooge, to an active participant.<br />
He became part of the criminal management team.<br />
Grant has recruited more team members more with more addresses even more doormen at more buildings are getting a cut because of providing empty unit addresses, and handing off the cable boxes, cellphones, and credit cards.<br />
<br />
Life got much better.<br />
Grant starts washing his money out of necessity.<br />
He feels himself becoming the man he always wanted to be.<br />
The man with the name of two of the dead presidents is a somebody of his own right and his on making.<br />
He begins dating women befitting someone of "his stature."<br />
Remembers his grandfather saying "Boy if ya wanna bass, ya caint fish in the catfish pool."<br />
Goes to the proper pool.<br />
The pool is deep in Atlanta.<br />
She not only had to have a certain look for Mr. Washington, but her head also had to be right in more ways than one.<br />
Shops around takes his time.<br />
Thinks of another one of his Papa's sayings "Don't nothin hairy but a fool, take ya time."<br />
He does.<br />
The procession of women could be related.<br />
All of them between 5"8-5"11'<br />
Latinas, Indian, African, African-American, his cosmetic dentistry has been on display beside them all.<br />
Thinks he's gotten the winner.<br />
The woman on his sleeve makes Instagram models weep in envy.<br />
She's the only one that has been able to stick past a single night or two.<br />
She understands what he does.<br />
Appears to respect his hustle and her head game was on point.<br />
A keeper.<br />
The whole crew is together for the first time, the kitchen, barbacks, and waitresses are being tipped well, the liquor is flowing and the fraudulent charges are being made<br />
The beefy security guard at the front of the VIP has also been heavily tipped to keep out the riff-raff. The barbacks included.<br />
Grant laughs at the thought.<br />
He has come a very long way from the Alabama boy working as a Barback in this very place.<br />
He's an important man.<br />
The kind that can pay for anything he wants from a private chef in his penthouse apartment to his Dodge Hellcat and Chevy Exorcist.<br />
Restaurants move people for him, jewelers have his cellphone number, he hob-knobs with celebrities.<br />
He is a real VIP and he has told "Tiny" the giant at the door to make sure that everyone knows it.<br />
That's why the sudden appearance of several men was initially surprising, the next stunner was the badges, from several different law enforcement agencies, the third and he thinks the most painful shock is Oliva, his first long-term girlfriend flashing a gun and badge.<br />
<br />
When he receives his discovery packet and finds out that Belinda "Snookie" Charles is testifying against him Grant remembers something else his pappa told him. "Don't trust nobody, and don't let that city eat you up."<br />
<br />
<br />
