Got me a new connect last night, some free dope too.
Went out to go meet my "friend's" (I use that term loosely, he's a middleman dope fiend that I know through friends) guy in Hartford, he told us what part of town to go to and to call when we were there so he could tell us where to meet. He never answered after that. So we're parked in some neighborhood trying to call this guy back (or at least one of his other connects) and I notice a guy peeking out of his front door. Now I've been bitched out and threatened by people who were unhappy to see a couple of whiteboys coming to their neighborhood just to buy drugs, so I was considering leaving but I didn't want to look sketch so I stuck around. Dude comes out and says "what the fuck you doing here? I get nervous when I see people I don't know hanging out in my neighborhood" so we told him we were waiting for a friend to call us back and give us directions cause we're lost. He asked where we were from and which highway we were looking for (despite being about a quarter mile from the highway). Then he said "what are you really doing here? You're looking for dope, huh? Why you gotta lie to me man, I could tell you was lookin for dope" So I told him yeah we were and he pulls the whole "yall ain't no cops, right?" thing. Asked if we'd been shooting up, which I pretty much don't ever do and my friend had just gotten back on the needle (and had a fresh one) so he didn't have any tracks to show. So dude hesitantly takes our order and runs inside, then comes outside with a tape recorder and says "okay I got you on tape saying you ain't a cop, so if you try and fuck me I'll make you lose your badge" lol. So he gets in the truck and hands us 3 bundles. I told him we only asked for two B's and he says "nah man that's for you, keep it. I want us to have a good relationship". So he then made a point to let us know that he's not a big time dealer and prefers to have just a few reliable customers, and he treats them all well. Then he asks us what we do on sundays because he saw some mud on my truck and wants me to go wheeling where him and his boys take their trucks and dirtbikes. He says he only sells to people that he think could be cool to chill with. He pleaded with us that he doesn't like bullshit and he doesn't want to have to deal with cops or fiends so not to call him back if we are actually scumbags lol.
So I say that went pretty well. Got a legit dealer (who also seems like a pretty damn nice guy), got a free bundle and a new connect so now I don't have to deal with that middleman motherfucker that I have had to bring with me to the city every time lately, and maybe even someone to go wheeling with. This guy is in a pretty convenient location, and I really hated dealing with that other guy's hookup anyways. I always hate going to see him, but this guy seems alright. That's how you do it too, treat people right and they'll come back. Interesting how things can turn from a shitty situation into a good one really quick.
