Chapter 1: New arrivals, New problems
"TJ...TJ...TJ!" I heard someone yell, waking me up from my sleep. My eyes shot open as my head jolted up from the outburst. I looked around to notice that I was still in the plane. I looked to my left to see a familiar face with his signature backwards purple laker's cap.
"What the hell Slim, You see me sleep, why you wake me?" I asked with a groggy voice."Man get the hell up, the plane about to land." Slim said in a almost commanding way. I look out the the window on my right to see the plane touching down on the catwalk.
"Attention passengers, you have reached your destination. Welcome to Death City, Nevada."the voice on the intercom stated. That's right, "Death City, Nevada" is what they called this place I ain't never heard of. Me and my friend Slim had to come to this place after we had gotten offers to come here, so we can start a new life.
We're supposed to be getting our own apartment where the rent would be handled by the school and a certain amount of money each month. It almost felt too good to be true. This was certainly a great place to start over.
"Let's go see If they got a market around here." Slim said as we exited the airport. Ten minutes later, we were at the entrance of a little store where Slim stops me. "Alright, I'll be right back I'm just gonna go and get something to drink and that's it." Slim said as he started his way into the store."Don't do any stupid shit, cuz we just got here." I said in a scolding voice.
"Please man, ain't nothin gon happen." Slim said in a nonchalant way. I leaned my back on the glass window along with my left foot and crossed my arms. I stood there just thinking about would anybody ever find us here. The only ones we told about this was Slim's grandma and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't come all the way from LA to Nevada. I just stood there thinking about our old life and all the things we had done, good and bad. I just sat there going into deep thought... Right until...BANG...BANG..BANG, BANG. I got out of my train of thought as I heard gunshots ring out of the store. I peek in just to see Slim dashing out the store with a pistol in hand and a ice tea in the other Yelling at me to run.
"What the fuck did you d-" My sentence was cut short as I heard another bullet break the glass in the back of me. That was my cue to start running away. I caught up with Slim in the back of a alley a few blocks away from the store. We both stood there bent over and panting for air. I looked around the corner to see if anyone followed us. Then, I looked at Slim with anger in my face as I pushed him into the nearby wall and held him there.
"What the fuck was That man?!" I yelled at him with anger. "Three dollars is too much to be for a drink, TJ." Slim said through his choking.
"So you decide to rob a store twenty minutes after we get here? what sense does that make?!" I said as I let him go.
"I didn't rob em, I just held them at gunpoint while I took one of their items." Slim said nonchalant. I just looked at him as if he were stupid as hell.
"That is the textbook definition of armed robbery, idiot." I said as I heard the sound of multiple guns clicking. we looked in the back of me to see ten police officers had surrounded already.
"Death City Police, get on the ground now you little punks!" one of the officers had yelled at us. I looked at Slim as he looked at me. Then, we just complied with the officer as we put our hands behind our head as slow got down on the ground as they arrested us.
Well that's it for the start. I just decided to restart the whole thing is all. read and review. Also I got two PMs about where I had got the idea of my OCs Slim and TJ. I'm not really gonna get into it all I'm just gonna say is their basically based off of my two favorite older cousins. nuff said.
don't worry I'll be updating more frequently this time. till next time.
