Slowly opening my eyes everything came into focus. I looked
over to my left to see LaRon tied to a chair still unconcious. The
room had a musty, damp smell and the lights were dimmed,
there was one window and it was boarded up. I moved and
tugged around in my chair until I was turned towards LaRon and
spoke loud enough for him to hear me. I watched as he
struggled to come to before finally snapping his eyes open in
panic.
"Yo calm down..."
"Where the fuck are we?"
"Legion warehouse..."
"How the fuck do you know that?"
"I remember this room, the fucking smell.."
I watched as LaRon searched his mind to say something to
me...I already knew what it was and really wasn't interested in
hearing it.
"Why did you start dealing again?"
"I missed the feeling...Chris none of were as strong as you. You just stopped doing the shit with no problem. I couldn't"
"What makes you think I didn't have a problem leaving it alone? That shit ate at me all the time...I hated it"
"So what kept you from going back"
"Shorty..."
I watched as the rusted doorknob turned and the heavy metal
door creaked open. The figure at the door was tall and gaunt
and walked with a cane. Squinting my eyes from the blinding
light that filled the room, the figure approached us and I
realized it was Dee. He looked like one of his fiends, and from
his erratic movements I could tell he was hooked.
"So your the new guys?"
"No..now let us the fuck outta here"
"Ooh I see somebody is unhappy...Ne-Yo get in here!"
I never took my eyes off of him until Ne-Yo walked into the
room with a sympathetic look on his face as he looked back and
forth between me and LaRon. Dee whispered something to him
and handed him a gun before walking out of the room. We sat
in silence for about five minutes before I finally decided to
speak.
"If your gonna shoot me, get it over with and stop waisting my fucking time..."
"Chris are you fucking crazy?! Shit i'll work for Legion"
"Chris man just do it for a little while...just until things calm down then you can bounce-"
"You know thats bullshit, theres no way I would be able to leave and you know it. Why the fuck do you want me involved in this shit so bad?"
"Because I told them you guys had connects that they didn't...I told them you two could make them more money"
"Fucking genius aren't you...stupid fuck"
I felt the numbing pain of the butt of Ne-yos gun connect with
my face and a smirk spread across my face and I couldn't help
but laugh.
"What the fuck?"
"He's lost it...What the fuck did you hit him for man? We are supposed to be family and shit"
Family...an interesting concept.
"Family?"
I continued to chuckle at the thought that these two were my
family...
"We're not a fucking family, you got Ne-Yo over here in Legion...and you LaRon...a fucking pu$$y. Shit I rather be dead than have a family like you two. But come on Ne-Yo there is more to this and you know it."
"No theres not..."
"Come on...I'm not fucking stupid. You never hustled this hard in your life for anything or anybody. Let me guess, if we don't join up...you get dealt with?"
"And so do you..."
"No shit..."
"So I mean damn can you do this for me....please?"
"Fuck outta here...why should I help you?"
"So you rather die? What about shorty"
.................What about Shorty?
"Did you really think she would be left out of this?"
"Touch one hair on her head and I will fucking kill you..."
"It's out of my hands now Chris...I tried to stop them.."
"You tried to stop them?....Where is she?!"
I looked up at the turning doorknob as the door slid open filling
the room with a rust filled noised. I stared into her eyes as her
mascara ran down her cheeks. I watched as Dee dragged her to
the room holding her by the ropes that were tightly wrapped
around her wrists. My jaw locked as he slid his gun up her thigh
to her stomach and moved his lips across her ear. He slowly
removed the gag from her mouth and smiled...
"Have you made a decision yet?"
"Chris don't do it...you don't have to-"
"You win...I'll join"
"Chris no!"
"Smart choice...Ne-Yo untie your new business partners....go home and get yourselves cleaned up and I want you back here tonight"
He walked out of the room and left us there...Ne-Yo untied
LaRon after he let Shorty out who then untied me. Without even
saying a word I quickly walked out of the room and through the
musty smelling warehouse. It was amazing, after all these years
I knew my way out. I ignored Shorty yelling my name as
everybody followed me out until we got into the parking lot.
"Chris just wait please!"
I slowly turned around and faced them, she was still crying and
wrapped her bruised arms around herself.
"Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter..."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?"
"Because your not my girl anymore...I don't have to tell you"
"What are you saying?"
"I don't want you anymore, I came into this world alone and thats how i'm leaving it"
"What? Your not making any sense, your not dead!"
"Yes I am, we all are. I'm just the only one that sees it now. If we stay in this we are gonna get shot up and if we try to leave it....we get shot up. What the fuck is the point?"
"Chris man, it's not like that..."
"Bullshit Ne-Yo, if you didn't get us to come in they would have killed you! You might as well had shot me in the fucking room, either way my life is fucking over because of you, no matter how hard I tried not to make the same mistakes my father did I'm right here standing in the same fucking situation he was in! That fucking crackhead was right, I'm gonna die in the streets just like him"
I fought back the tears that were stinging my eyes as I watched
Shorty walk away sobbing. I couldn't put her in anymore danger
than I already have.
"So what your riding by yourself now?"
"Always have been nigga, LaRon you were quick to join up and Ne-yo isn't nothing but a fucking traitor anyway. Shorty i'm not the person you think I am and what you see in me is what you WANT to see in me. I'm no good for you and never will be until i'm gone..."
"Baby thats not true!"
"Yes it is!"
"But I love you!"
"And I love you and thats why I want you to go....no more of this. This fake family bullshit is done. From now on i'm riding dolo."
I turned my back to them and walked away.....
