By this time i left Nikki because she had a secret lover and i got tired of that bullshit. And ran into another darkskin chick name Lynda finer than all outdoors and had more ass than a Winn Dixie store had beef. Every part of her body was just right. She had short legs, little baby feet and small breasts and a little head, not too big, not too little, but just right for the body. And when i first seen her and ask my partner Chris what's up with her, he told me i can forget about it and take my mind off her because she ain't going to give me no rape. She was standing in the village in front of Dot and Sharon's house with painted-on jeans and had her back turn to the road. The two buns of her ass was shining like two twin suns. i told myself i must have her no matter what. And as we was walking by i said to her hey young lady, and what may i hold the honor today for meeting such a beautiful pretty lady? And the smile went from ear to ear and from that day we take only one step at a time and she told her mother one night she was going to stay the night with Dot and Sharon, and she plan to stay with me. i was her second boyfriend because her first one died, God bless his soul, and he was the first one to break her in. And from that time i met her he had been gone for nine months and this was her last time to have sex and she was 18 years old and i was the lucky guy. So you know what that was like for a cat like myself who had been down 15 months. And it was on a Friday night. And after that time she stay the night, she forgot where she stayed at because i did the wild thing and made her so happy and she sat there in my bed that night as i returned from the bathroom and as i climbed back in beside her to kiss her in the dark, i felt tears against her face and i asked her baby why are you crying? She told me she never felt the feeling i had just give her and from that night on i knew she was mine.

By that time i was jacking every two days out of the week and Tony told me the guy who will rent the cars and from there i was driving a rental car every day. So this was about my third week home and Lynda found out what i was doing but she didn't let it come between us because she had a gold diamond ring and a Gucci purse and she was doing okay. So on a Friday night i was getting dressed to go out to the disco across the track and Mark came around the house and my mother was watching TV in the front living room. As Mark knocked and came in, my mother said he's in the back, and he came back to my room and said Adrian, let's go get paid, player. i was kind of low on money so i was ready to go but Lynda said no and i looked at her because she never reacted that way. She seen the evil look i gave her and set back on the bed and turn her head to the window. i told Mark to meet me cross the track and he said he was going to steal a Bronco truck. So he turn and walked out the door. i turn to Lynda and went to kiss her and she move her face and said you just got out of the joint and Easter is coming up and i want to be with you. i told her don't worry honey, i will see you when i get back and don't wait up for me, get some sleep. And i took my hat and keys and left out the room and closed the door behind me and as i walk over to my mother and kiss her, i told her i be coming home a little late, and walked out the door.

i drove across the track and parked and all the fellows came around the car as i pulled up to the disco and got out the car and i called my little dog Pat and told him to keep the rented car until Mark and i come back, and he said i will do that, dog. By that time i kept the .38 special home and had the .380 in my pants everywhere i went. So Mark returned in the truck and told me let's go and i got in the truck and we was going down US 1 heading for the expressway.

As we got on the expressway there was a bus station parking lot on the right side of the expressway and it was so many police in that lot. i went to look out the corner of my eyes and every one of those cops was pointing they fingers at that truck and running for they police cars. i told Mark man, those crackers are coming for us, push this shit. We was on a five minute straightaway from the Perrine exit so as we was coming off the expressway at the exit, i told Mark man, slow down a little because we have to go around a bend and he didn't listen so as we went around the bend the truck turn over about four times and was lying on the driver's door sideways and i was dizzy a little and i heard somebody saying Adrian jump out, Adrian jump out! It was Mark and he was saying get off me and jump out. i told him i can't man, and he said yes you can, and before i could say anything else i was out of the truck and on turf and Mark was right behind me telling me run my nigger, and don't stop for those crackers!

i ran in some people's back yard and i came out about 30 minutes later and was walking down the street. The first police car passed by me hauling ass and as the other one came to pass he slowed down and looked at me real hard and i heard the police radio say he has on a red shirt and a red hat. i start to run again but i bent down like i was tying my shoes. And the police jump out the car and run up to me and said get up and get in the car. i asked the officer what's going on? So they told me my rights and took me down to the station, telling me to write a statement saying i stole the truck and that it was me that jumped out and who was the other guy and told me that i was charged with grand theft auto. And i said okay then go ahead and take me to the county jail. One of the officers said so you want to be a hardass, right? And i said no sir, but you want to be a smartass trying to get me to say i did something and i didn't do it, so the sergeant said call the jail and ask if we can bring him down. The officer hung up the phone and said yes sergeant, they want him. So i went to jail and did 21 days and then they throwed the case out with no action filed.

So everything went fine until a month and a week later, it was the crime that got me in the joint where i am right now today. We was on our way to the Goombay Festival and we was going through South Miami by a girl's house before we go, and as we passed this gas station there was the jackpot. His car was on and he was at the pay phone. i never seen so much gold and his packages look like a fat turkey. i told Tony we must make him get flat, player, and he said whatever you want to do, player. And our partner Little Bow was with us too. We told him to drive the rented car and we pulled to the back of the gas station and got out and Little Bow got in the driver's seat and we walked over to the guy as he was hanging up the phone and i told Tony we must not miss this one, dog, so we took off running.

By the time i was coming up on him i was pulling out my pistol and he was closing the door of his car and as soon as he closed it the .380 was to the side of his head with me telling him don't move this is a jack but you can make it a homicide. And he took his hands off the steering wheel and put them high in the air as i pull the pin back on the gun and open the door and said get out real slow and lay down face flat and don't make no mistake and he did as i said. And i took all the gold and money while Tony wait in the driver's seat and we pull off and was on the way back home.

We said fuck the Goombay and we took the car along the back road down around from where we stay and took what we need. Little Bow was waiting on the corner in the rental car and ran for the car and left the one we took behind. We split the $3,000 and jewelry and went to Perrine where Tony's girlfriend Red stay and she was mad with him so he had to kick her ass to put her in her place and she got in the car and i drove off going to the Royal hotel and paid for room 17 and 18 on the top floor. Room 18 was for Tony and Red and i had 17 and was on my way to get Lynda and take her to the hotel with me, but as i got to my corner the police was leaving my house, and when i made my turn they flash the light on they car and made a U-turn back behind me.

So i pull up in front of my house as the police pull up beside the rental car blocking the passenger side. i got out the car and heard the lady say yeah, he still have on the short set and it's the same color Red's friend give us. So the officer called me and said Adrian we would like to talk to you. And i ask him about what and at that time i was moving for the front gate of my house and they was getting out of they car coming close to me. And one said don't run, so i leaned against the fence. And they came up to me and asked me where is Red but they called her whole name. i told them i don't know who they talking about. Then one said come on Adrian now don't give us no hard time, where is the girl? And i told them again i don't know what y'all is talking about. By that time my whole family was out the door standing inside the gate and my girlfriend Lynda was in her night gown and crying.

So the officer told me the sergeant would like to have a word with you at the station, so i told him that i knew i was going to jail so let me give my mother my jewelry because the jewelry i had on was from the robbery that day. So they handcuff me and i give my mother the guy's gold and they place me in the car. They had a little talk with my mother and asked her to go to the car and have a talk with me, so she come over and asked me did i know where the girl was and i told her to go to the hotel and tell Tony the police have me and to let that bitch go because her mother have called the police station talking about a kidnap.

So i got to the station and watched the officer write up the report and then the phone rang and i seen him write down Royal hotel so i said damn in my mind, that my mother would betray me. But she told me that she thought it was best telling the police so they would go get Red and that will be that. And by that time she had seen the guy's name on the jewelry we had robbed. And Tony knew that Red used to go with the nigger but he never thought she would betray him. So they went and got Tony and brought him down to the station and while we was on the second floor, she was on the first floor, and she lied and said Tony had took all her gold. And that bitch knew he paid for every piece of gold she had on, diamond ring and all. So an officer took all the lady's jewelry he had and gave it to that no-good punkass bitch.

So i went to jail that night and my mother had a talk with Red and she went and dropped the charge. But the second day of our arrest she called the nigger we robbed and told him me and Tony's full name and showed him pictures of us. And when i went to court to get released the state brought up more charges against me. And the charges was First Degree Attempted Murder Premeditated, Armed Robbery with a Firearm, and Grand Theft Vehicle. And the same charges for Tony. They wanted to give me 27 years and Tony 17 years but they broke it down to 12 years each because the guy didn't show in court and we knew this guy wouldn't come because we had dogs out in the street holding him back.

So the state called his house and told his mother that he was not showing up in court. And she was surprised to hear that because his family had a business and his mother was a real dirty black bitch. And she wanted me and Tony put away. So when our trial date came his mother brought him to court and they had fingerprints of our hands off the car and he knew how we look from head to toe. The state tried to go back up with the 27 years for me and the 17 for Tony but the judge recommended the 12 years. And by that time i had done a year in the County Jail going back and forth to court, so we took the 12 years and walked out the courtroom back to our cells.

So there i was three weeks after my sentence back in South Florida Reception Center waiting to be transported to another institution. i went through South Florida like a sweet piece of cake. i did about another three weeks there and then i was on the bus going to Polk Correctional Institution.

i walked in the gate of Polk at lunchtime on the Fourth of July. i knowed a few guys there and Tony's brother Bobby was glad to see me. He had five life sentences with 15 years running wild and he was the coolest cat there but love to play cards. i didn't have no money and the joint didn't change my strong arm robbery. i laid low for about three weeks and my friends went to holding back on me so after those smooth three weeks i started my robbery thing.

One evening after dinner i was working on the weight pile and this guy name Pookie from Miami told me he knew two Spanish guys got a fifty dollar bill right now. Not the Pookie that was with me in prison in 1987, this was a different guy name Pookie. So i told him to show me where they was. We went to D Dorm and they was the two Spanish guys in the back trying to get change from this black guy. So i walked over there and the big Spanish guy seen me and took the 50 dollar bill out of his friend's hand. So i look at him and ask him what the fuck you looking at me for? And he went to talking that Spanish shit. He was about 6'2" in height and his weight was about 185 and i took a side step and came with a straight left jab to the chin and a right hook to the cheek and down he went and as the other one was coming over to help, Pookie hit him about 15 times. So the one i knocked down i choked him and took the fifty and walked out. And from that day on all the guys on that compound came to me giving me money not to jack them but every time i ask for it and i feel they was holding back i would return and put the jack on them.

And i did that for three months and then someone went and told on me and they locked me up for investigation of robbery. And i lay low in lockup until they transported me over to Florida State Prison. But first i stayed one day at another prison where they kicked my ass after they looked at my jacket saying i wanted to be a badass.

i am locked up now in a 8x10 one-man cell waiting for my classification officer to tell me something and i might not see him until next year.

i have changed the feeling i had for white folks since i ran down on this white guy name Bobby. He is next door to me and he is a real nice guy who knows i don't get mail or money but if i need a little something he will give me a helping hand before one of my homeboys will.

Bobby tell me by me being so young and wild that it is time for me to cut all the bullshit and be a man because it's easy to come in this death trap but it's hard to come out alive. He told me i made a big mistake by coming to this prison because if i would have stayed at my other institution i would have did about four years on my sentence, because on the 12 years i have only got to do three mandatory years. But he said since i came here i will do six or seven years.

So that's all i think about now, all my pussyass homeboys ain't shit because they is still at Polk talking on the phone to they loved ones and here i am at Florida State Prison with no phone and my mother don't write me and we did lose the house because my daddy's drug habit came back. And Lynda is just another squirrel looking for a nut.
