hey everyone, i've got a question for people who know the chicago scene better than me.. So I live about 2 hours away from the city, so when I go up there to cop I wanna know it's a sure thing.. I finally got the balls a few months ago to go up there and finally get myself a decent phone connect. I'd made runs with friends to the south side a couple times and it scared me too much to ever hit the corner like that on my own, plus my friends got busted eventually doin it too much.
but i went to the city once, to a corner under a green line stop where a friend told me there was a little bodega store that i could just go in and get served, and when I got there i couldn't find the store. but since i was already there in a kinda scary part of town, i started walking down the block until someone asked me what i needed. i told him i wanted a few blows, followed him halfway up the block to someone sitting in a van, got my blows and got dudes number and it all worked out fine. ever since then i've had dudes number and he meets me in a safer part of town not too far away from where he's at.
this guy has been wonderful for me ever since i met him. always gives me great deals, and if i spend enough he'll usually throw me a bag for free. well he's always answered his phone for me. there was only one time when i got up there and he stopped answering, and i found out later it was because he got arrested. the next time i saw him he even gave me 3 extra bags free just because i made that long drive that one day and he ended up getting arrested before i got to him.
well today i was getting ready to go, but when i called he didn't answer. called a few times this morning and still no answer. so i was starting to think about maybe just trying to hit the block again, but i really didn't want to. well i was just about to call it quits today and have to deal with being sick, but i tried my guys phone again and someone finally answered, but it's not my guy. the person that answered sounded like another black guy, and he knew my name (probably because it's in my guys phone), and he said that my normal guy is ok he's just in the hospital. i asked if they were straight and he said they would take care of me when i got up there..
now this sounds much better to me than hitting the block, especially if someone can meet me somewhere. the only thing i'm worried about it the fact that i don't know this person.. has anyone ever heard of the police busting someone like that? taking a dealers phone after they got busted, and the accepting calls, telling someone they'd serve them when they got there, and then busting them?
what do you guys think? does this sound safe? or something i should pass on..
