Being one of the biggest and most well-known dealers in DC, he was always sought after by any one that came across his FOINE a--. Trae was so smooth he didn’t just date anyone or let anyone get close to him. He was always careful with his actions and cautious with his whereabouts. Never-the-less he always had a mission to accomplish, first on his list was Pretty Tony who was behind his mothers death while forcing her to prostitute for him. Trae by chance runs up on Pretty Tony having a conversation with his boys on the corner, like oh school playas normally do in DC. After approaching Pretty T and a few disrespectful words later, Trae kills him in broad daylight not caring who saw it, he just wanted revenge for his mothers death since his memories of her were cut short because of him. For that reason alone, Trae didn’t trust anyone, he definitely had to feel you out for months before he felt he could trust you as his own. He normally lets his best friend Kevin feels them out before he trust’s anyone as well, but that all changed when he met the fake thoroughbred Carmen, who portrayed to be just as rough as any other dude in his squad. With her beautiful looks, he felt she could be useful on his team but he wasn’t sure about letting a woman join the team, even with her persistence to be street savvy. Almost the same situation takes place for Sommone, another beautiful sista who feeds him a sob story about needing a job at his club. After a few weeks of feeling both women out, he went against his and Kevin’s better judgment, and decided to let Carmen work with him on the squad and Sommone strip at the club. After a few late night creeps with Sommone, he was back on to a bigger and better mission to plan for his last deal. Feeling like he was too DEEP in the game, it was finally time to get out. So, he shares all the necessary info about the deal with everyone in his crew, including Carmen who is now a part of the team. Kevin feeling that something is not right, talks Trae out of joining the crew on the deal. He tells Trae this aint for him and he needs to be the one holding things up if the deal went bad. Trae trusting his man’s judgment decides to do just that. As fate has it, the squad gets busted by the S.W.A.T team with Sommone and Carmen as the leaders of the bust. Word gets back to Trae that everyone was dead and that his favorite two girls were FBI Agents, he continues to stay on the run until Carmen finds him and drops a bomb that she is his long-lost sister. Who will die first in this war?
