Life of a King Page #4

direction he was moving.

Oh yes, the pawns.

They are the front line.

They will be casualties.

This crap's boring. man.

Kids game.

What you reading?

Let me put it to you this way,

a way you'll understand.

Think about it like this.

Who's your supplier?

Hey, you tripping.

Hey, I know you ain't growing

that weed you're selling

and so does everybody else in

here you're trying to sell it to.

So, who's your guy?

Huh?

Your ace in the hole.

Trying to protect your king.

I like that.

Okay.

All right.

Well, then let's

call this king, "Perry".

King Perry it is.

Now, King Perry has an army

and you're a part of it.

But the problem is,

you think you're out there

doing the king's business,

all you're really doing

is sacrificing yourself.

Like the pawn you truly are.

It ain't like that, B.

It's exactly like that, partner.

Now, if you want to keep making the

same mistakes for a king who could

care less about your ass, out

there is the board to do it on.

But if you want to learn how

to make the right maneuvers,

this is where you do it.

Right here on this board.

So, what do you want,

what do you want to do?

You want to learn how to play?

Played out, man.

I'll play.

Me, too.

There it is.

Very nice.

Man, Peanut, that

ain't the right move.

Use the horse, it moves in and out.

Right there.

No, man, right...

What, are you blind, man?

Tahime, why don't you

play your own game?

Man, I'm just watching.

How did you see that attack?

What you mean "see?"

It's obvious.

Peanut's just stupid.

Hey. Mr. Brown.

Hey, what you doing?

Going to get a ride, man.

Don't ride with that fool.

I'd rather walk.

Let's go.

It's right up here.

Oh, man.

That's T's mama.

You all live here?

Yeah. T eats

at my place every night.

His mama don't cook.

She's real messed up, man.

Yeah.

Thanks for the ride, Mr. Brown.

Anytime, son.

Take care of yourself.

No, no, Marco.

Marco, please.

Please, man.

Have a seat.

Come on, man.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you, son.

Did you get any of my letters?

I've been out

for a couple weeks now.

I've been teaching these kids chess

down in the old neighborhood.

I got this one kid

that reminds me of you.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You never taught me nothing.

You're the last person that

has a right to be talking.

Okay. Okay.

Guard.

No, Marco.

Marco, wait.

No, Marco, wait.

No, wait, son. Don't be

like that. Son.

Please.

Everybody, look up here.

You see this?

There's an open tournament in

Virginia in a couple of months.

We're not ready for no tournament.

That might be true

and that might not be.

But one thing's for sure is

you're never going to find out
