"Baby!"
Huey stirred as he woke up from his bed. As he opened his eyes, he looked around confused. The room was different.
It was brighter.
His room was black and grey but now it was blue and white.
'Whose house am I in?' He questioned himself.
He stepped out the bed and walked over to the mirror. He only had on tracksuit bottoms. His tattoos were still there and his afro as well as his scars. What else had changed?
"Huey! Quick!" He heard the voice call again.
He suddenly recognised the voice.
He raced out the room, paused to be aware that he was now in a house before charging down the steps.
"In here!"
Huey followed the voice into the living room.
"Jazmine?" Huey said out loud. What was she doing here? Didn't she leave Chicago?
Jazmine giggled. "Why are you looking at me like you don't know me? Look!" She pulled him in front of the couch and was in for another surprise.
A baby.
"Dada."
'What the actual fuck...?' He was confused.
A baby. A little boy. A little boy who looked like the perfect mix of Huey and Jazmine.
He had a large afro like his father and emerald green eyes like his mother. This was his child. Their, child.
"Look what our 10-month-old son has been working on." Jazmine smiled before kneeling down next to her son. "Go to daddy." She simply told him.
The baby looked at his mother, then father, then back to his mother who gave him an encouraging smile and nod.
Huey watched intensely. He was still confused.
That's when Huey saw his son stand, wobbling a little but stood firm. Then, he moves his right foot, then left, then right again. He was walking! By the look of Jazmine's face, this was his first steps.
"Yes baby boy!" Jazmine clapped excitedly.
Something took over Huey and he kneeled down too, in front of them. He held his arms in front of him.
"Come on son." He found himself saying.
The determined little boy did his best to stay on his feet. He wanted to get to his daddy! He stretched out his little, chubby arms and squealed in excitement. He dived into his father's hand who caught him before he could connect with the floor.
Huey jumped up and threw his son lightly in the air.
"That's my boy!" Huey cheered and began tickling him, listening closely to the giggle that rang sweetly through his ears.
"Daddy!" He giggled.
"He's a fast learner. Your mum said he's taking after you." Jazmine smiled as she kissed her child.
Huey sighed, still not believing this. "If he does, terrible two is going to be no joke."
Jazmine laughed. "Yeah she told me that too, already got some tips don't worry."
Huey looked at the baby and Jazmine and snapped out of it. He slowly handed the baby back to Jazmine.
"Daddy!" The boy cried but Huey stepped back.
Jazmine's eyes showed concern. "Baby... Huey what's wrong? You look sick."
Huey shook his head. "This... isn't real..."
Jazmine laughed. "What do you mean this isn't real? How can you say that your fiancé and child is not real?"
Huey raised an eyebrow. "Fiancé?"
"Yes Huey! Fiancé! What's wrong with you?" She began to tear up.
"We didn't, I, you." He took a deep breath. "You left Chicago."
"I never left. Are you feeling ok?" Jazmine lifted her hand towards his forehead which he swatted away. She was shocked. She placed their child on the floor before looking frustratingly at Huey. "You need to snap out of it Huey."
Huey grabbed onto his hair, nearly tearing it out. "That's what I'm trying to do Jazmine! This isn't real." He closed his eyes and could hear a distant ringing.
He opened them again. Jazmine and the baby were gone. The room was empty.
'Huh...?' He thought as he looked around. "Jazmine!" He called out.
"She's dead."
Huey turned and his heart dropped as he looked down at the person.
"Cairo..."
Cairo smiled, showing his bloody teeth. "Yes Huey... its me. The boy you killed." Huey could see the bullet wound in his chest, leaking with blood.
Huey quickly shook his head. "It wasn't me."
"Just because you didn't pull the trigger, doesn't mean you're not as much responsible as the man that did." Cairo told him with a sinister smile on his face. "That's not the only person close to you that has been a victim to your morally wrong lifestyle."
"What?"
"Hello Huey."
Jazmine slowly stepped out from behind Cairo. His eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing. She was soaked in blood and her dress had multiple puncture holes.
"You did this to me." She was furious with him.
"What happened to you?" He was afraid of the answer.
"Vladimir. He found me and killed me. Because of you, Huey Freeman." Jazmine pointed her bloody finger at him.
"I'm sorry... both of you." Huey lowered his head.
"Look at us." Cairo and Jazmine told him. His head was forced to look up.
"You killed us Huey. We hate you. We will always hate you. You will never be happy. You will die alone. Everyone around you will die while you watch them suffer. They're suffering because of you Huey." The both said in sync, making Huey's heart break even more.
He heard a ring again.
"You hurt everyone you come in contact with. We hate you! You killed us! This is your fault!" They began to walk closer to him, screaming at him.
"No... no..." Huey shook his head as he stepped back.
Ring.
"Where is that ringing coming from?!" He shouted in frustration.
"Stop running from us Huey! Look at us! You killed us!" They bellowed in irritation.
Huey balled his fist and glued his eyes shut. "This isn't real! Wake up Huey! Wake up!"
"Shit!"
Huey sat up, covered in his sweat. He turned to see his phone flashing. It was his mother. He grabbed the phone and quickly answered.
"Hello." He breathed out, not bothered to wipe the sweat away from his forehead.
"Huey..." He heard her cry. Hearing his mother cry made him more alert. What had happened?
"Mom? What's wrong? Why are you cry?" He asked with worry swimming in his voice. He had to push his nightmare to the back of his mind to address later, as for now, he needs to find out why his mother was crying.
"It's your grandfather... he's in hospital." Huey jumped out the bed. The same sick feeling he felt in the dream was coming back. He felt like he had something to do with it. "Someone broke into his house and beat him up. He's in surgery. You need to come quick!"
"I'm on my way." Huey hung up and raced to the bathroom to have a quick wash.
Who broke into his house? Why did they beat him up? It was because of him wasn't it?
"Shit..." Huey mumbled as he jumped out the shower. It was. No one has ever broken into a Freeman's home. It wasn't just a robbery. He knew that. It was revenge.
Huey's nostrils flared as he threw on a random outfit. Someone was going to die today. And it wasn't a Freeman or a member of the Panthers. Someone was seriously going to be hurt.
He ran out his house and to his car, that's when he saw Riley, Demetrius and Dante all making their way out too.
"Mom?" Riley didn't have to say much because by the look of Huey's angry face, he knew they got the same phone call.
Huey nodded and they all went to Riley and Huey's car.
"Imma ride with you." Dante jumped in the passenger seat of Huey's car while Demetrius went over to Riley's.
Huey was speeding down the street while Dante was agitated in his seat.
"Mann what the fuck have we gotten into? This shit is spinning out of control. We need to get shit handled asap because we all know who did this." Dante told his older cousin and leader.
Huey nodded. "I know. We starting shit as soon as we leave the hospital."
"Good good... I'm gonna ask Anthony to have Coco for as long as this shit is happening. Maybe he will have to look after her full time as much as I hate to think like that. I mean he has a wife and Coco loves Tay and Tia. They have the perfect family. Fuck... I'm such a shit father, can't even protect my lil girl..." Dante rambled on.
Huey took quick glances to his cousin. This war was seriously fucking with everyone's mind. Shit, Huey still had the dream stuck in his head. This wasn't normal.
"I don't wanna hear that bs. You know you're the best father. Shit, if I ever get the chance to have kids, I would like to learn at least half the shit you had to learn. And don't forget you're raising a strong, black, girl who has a father who loves her and would do anything for her. Just make sure she knows it every chance she gets. She looks up to you, trust me." Huey told Dante sincerely.
Dante looked at his cousin shocked. He had never heard him talk like that before. It was strange but weirdly encouraging.
"Thanks man."
Huey nodded as the hospital came into view. "Any time. Plus, I know you're going to have your own family soon. You think I don't know about you and Faith." Huey parked the car and jumped out before Dante could recover from his shock.
"How did you know?!" Dante called out as he jogged towards the speed walking Huey.
Demetrius and Riley walked up behind them as they made their way to the front desk.
"Looking for Robert Freeman." Huey told the receptionist.
She looked up annoyed until her eyes landed on the four, fine, chocolate men standing in front of them.
"Any of you single?" She asked boldly.
The all looked at her annoyed.
"Bitch does it looks like we came to the hospital to look for hoes? Where the fuck is Robert Freeman?" Riley leaned over the desk. Demetrius had to pull him back from the desk.
"Damn, a girl can't ask question anymore. Shit." She typed a few things before sighing. "Second floor on the right."
They all raced to the elevator and got in, waiting impatiently for it to go up 2 levels. Once they got to their floor, they ran out and went to the right, where they were met with a waiting room.
"They're here!" Mackenzie announced as she stood up.
In the room were all of Robert's sons and their wives. They all looked angry, tired and upset.
"What happened?" Dante asked as he walked over to his parents.
Christain looked at them with anger flaring in his eyes. "You know how Miss Daisy and grandad both walk out to get the paper at the same time every day, without fail? Yeah so, he didn't do it this morning, so she was worried and went over to his house. She said the door was broken in so called us to check it. When we went in... we found him in the living room, duct tape around his hands, feet and mouth. The room was a mess but everything else was untouched. They beat the shit out of him. Man if I didn't know my dad, you would have thought he was as good as dead the way we found him but you know your grandad is a fighter. He's going get through this. He mumbled a name though... Natasha. Probably one of the fuckers that did this. You best find her and all of them." Christian explained emotionally.
Hearing the story made the room tense. The ripple effects of this war weren't good. And this was only the beginning.
Huey started pacing. "That's the same bitch Raven wanted to fuck up... Fuck! She messed up Raven and... the other girls. Once I know grandad alright, we rolling out."
Riley nodded. "That's what I'm saying. I hear they just got a spot down by Sonny's. Let's go light that bitch up."
Demetrius pulled out his phone. "I'm gonna hit up some niggas to find any other spots they can find. We lighting up everything today."
"Please be careful." Mackenzie begged them. "Huey you especially. You're still recovering."
"I'll be fine." Huey told his mother.
"Where is he?"
The family turned to see Anthony and Monique looking out of breath.
"He's still in surgery son." Mario pulled his son and daughter into a hug, holding them tight.
Anthony turned to Huey. "Huey what the fuck man? I thought you had this shit handled!"
Huey looked at his older cousin with squinted eyes. "I'm getting shit handled. Trust me."
"How am I meant to trust you when you got our grandad lying on a fucking hospital table?" Anthony asked. He was just as pissed off as everyone else and was taking it out on Huey. Huey knew it was his fault, he just didn't want someone screaming in his face about it.
"Come on boys, relax now." Dominic reached out for Huey but he shrugged him off.
"Nah fuck that! We all can't be like you Anthony, we don't get the luxury to fall in love and live happily ever after. You grew up in the same hood I did but I chose this life and I do anything to protect it and our family. Don't get onto me like this shit is easy because it's not. I already lost 1 person because of this shit and I refuse to lose another so if I gotta die in order to protect the rest of you once I kill every single Russian then I fucking will. When I say shit is going to be handle, I mean it."
By the end of Huey's speech, him and Anthony were toe to toe, looking each other dead in the eye, not breaking eye contact. It seemed as if recently, Huey was being more vocal of his emotions which was new to the family to see. It was better than him keeping it locked away like he used to, he changed a lot.
Before anyone could say anything else, a tired looking Jaliyah stepped out.
"How is he?" Christian was the first to ask. He took a quick glance to see his oldest sons chest moving up and down quickly. He looked very pissed off and he couldn't blame him. It was a shitty situation.
Jaliyah took a deep breath. She never thought there would be a day were she would have to operate on her grandfather. It was terrifying but she had a job to do, she had to save him.
"I managed to stop the internal bleeding... I'm not going to lie to you and say it wasn't a lot because it was. You got him here right on time..." She took another breath. Telling another family the results of surgery were much more simpler, even telling them their relative sadly passed on was easier than this. When it was your own, it was the hardest thing in the world. "His right knee was completely shattered so even with physiotherapy... grandad will have a walking stick for the rest of his life." She lowered her gaze and began to shake her head and cry. "I'm sorry. I couldn't do more, I-"
"Baby." Jaliyah's mother and Dominic's wife, Trinity, held onto her daughters cheeks and lifted her head. "Don't you dare doubt your abilities. You did the best that was possible. You saved your grandfather! I couldn't be more proud of you."
Naomi, Mario's wife pulled Jaliyah into a hug. "We're all so proud of you."
"When can we see him?" Mario asked.
"You can see him now but he will be a bit drowsy from the medication." The surgeon of the family told them.
"Ok. You boys go see him first, we know you have to find out what happened." Christian gave them a knowing look.
They all nodded and walked towards the room their cousin told them. The whole time, they could feel how tense it was between the two oldest. They were avoiding eye contact the whole time and stood the furthest away.
They walked inside the room and felt sick. Robert Freeman was hooked up to all different machines. Despite his old age, he has never looked this sickly. It shocked them all. They were able to hold in most of their emotions but knew their parents will struggle to so the same.
"Hey grandad. How you feeling?" Anthony was the first to ask.
His eyes were closed but they knew he was awake. When they first came in, he opened his eyes but closed it once he saw who was now in the room to see him.
"Well... I'm not... dead."
They all couldn't help but to smirk and laugh. That was the best answer he could have given them.
"Do you know who did this to you?" Huey questioned. He needed to know.
Anthony shot him a sharp look. "Huey. He just got out of surgery, have some fucking respect-"
"Stop." They all looked at their grandfather who had opened up his eyes. The room stood still for a few seconds, the only sound was from the beeping of machines he was hooked up to. They looked into the maroon eyes they had inherited that had now lost its light. "Toni... don't be so harsh... on Huey. He's only... doing... what he does best. You're like me... he's like Ryan..."
Ryan Freeman. Robert and Cookie Freeman's older brother. He was the gang leader before Christian took over and had no children of his own. Robert was always seen as the wuss out of the lot. He was scared of everything which is why it was strange to see all his kids join the 'family business'. He died a couple of years ago from heart complications, he had enough time to see his nephews grow into the strong men they are and then beginning of their children's growth. It was sad when he died but he always said it was better than dying in the street with no loved ones around him.
"That doesn't mean he can mess up all our liv-"
"Stop it. It's not his fault... we all slip up... sometimes. You have to give him... room to figure... it out. It's not easy... I watched Ryan struggle first time." Robert tried to explain to them.
Anthony and Huey looked at each. They knew the anger towards each other wouldn't last long, it wasn't how they were raised. They were taught that family comes first so, they would have to figure out their differences.
"I'll try, for you grandad." Anthony held his hand.
Robert slowly shook his head. "Don't... do for me."
Anthony nodded and turned to Huey. "Ask what you gotta ask, cuz." He said aggressively.
Huey took a deep breath before walking up to his grandfather. "Grandad... do you remember who attacked you, besides from the female?"
Robert turned his eyes away from the people in the room and stared up at the plain white ceiling. "One had one eye and blonde hair. The other was bald with a spider tattoo on his head." He recounted painful.
Huey nodded. "Thank you. Trust me, they will pay for what they did to you."
"Don't stress yourself out. All of you." Robert advised them.
"We'll see you soon grandad. Stay strong." Demetrius told him.
"Nigga, I've been strong... acting like... this shit new to... a pimp... like me." Robert said as he slowly closed his eyes.
His grandsons smirked. This is the future of them.
They all walked out the room and stopped to look at each other.
"Toni... I need a huge favour. Can you look after Coco for me? I know she loves stay at yours so she should be good. Mom and dad won't be able to handle her for that long and her and Tay are close. I'll send you money and-"
"Bro relax." Anthony put his hand on Dante's shoulder reassuringly. "You're family. You don't need to explain anything."
Dante's pulled him into a quick hug. "Thanks man."
"Any time." Anthony turned to Huey and they faced off again.
"You niggas are getting on my nerves with that gay shit. Say it with your chest and move on, fuck." Riley shook his head before walking back to the waiting room with the twins following behind him.
"If you're just going to cuss me then hurry up and do it. I got shit to do, cuz." Huey stroked over his neatly trimmed beard.
Anthony smirked. "I said what I said already and I mean it Huey. You got a whole lotta shit to clean up. I say this as the oldest, I'm not ready to bury no one with Freeman as their last name, that's why I'm so hard on you. How many times you think we're to get luck? Just think about it and end what you need to end."
"I hear you. Trust me, no one is dying on my watch."
"So we good?"
Huey smirked and held out his hand, which Anthony accepted. "We good."
They walked back to the waiting room to where their family is waiting for them.
"You two put your differences aside?" Mario asked.
Huey and Anthony looked at each other and shrugged. "I guess you can say that. As much as I hate to say it but I got to get back to work and get things sorted for Coco."
"Yeah and we got somewhere, well you already know." Huey didn't even need to tell them what he was going to do. Plus, some would rather not know.
"Be careful. I hate hospitals." Mackenzie kissed her sons.
"You know we always are." Riley grinned cheekily.
Mackenzie rolled her eyes while Christian laughed. "We'll keep you updated. Go do what you gotta do."
With that, the sons of the family left with Anthony going one way and the rest going another.
Huey called Raven while driving to get armour.
"Hello?"
"You good?" Huey asked her.
"Yeah, what's up?"
Huey sighed and looked over at Dante who shrugged. "Some people beat up grandad last night. He just had surgery and he's good but will have a walking stick from now on." Huey quickly filled her in.
"What?! Who the fuck jumped grandad?! Huey!" Raven stopped to catch her breath, she forgot her ribs were not healed.
"Your best friend, Natasha."
"Oh heeeelllllll nah! Fuck it! I'm killing a bitch today! Where the fuck my glock?!"
They heard shuffling in the background.
"Raven? Raven relax! We'll handle it. Just tell us what she looks like." Dante jumped in. They both shock their head, she was something else.
"She looks like that hoe from Avengers... Scarlett Johansson! Yeah, but with short, ugly, brown hair. I didn't see anything else that can help you."
Huey nodded. "That's good enough. I'll update you."
"You best. Later guys."
She hung up as they arrived to the warehouse.
"Let's go kill some people." Dante sighed as they walked inside.
As they walked inside, people were busy doing work. Just like before, Huey liked to see this, they were getting their money up.
"Hey Ghost." A woman around the same age as him walked up to him. "I did some snooping and found two other stash houses not far from the location you're going to."
Huey thought about the information given to him. At first, he was just going to have him and his boys roll up to the place he knew for certain the ones who beat up his grandad was but decided it was best to hit the white man where it hurt them most. Their pockets.
Huey walked to the centre of the room.
"Listen up!" Everyone paused where they were standing and turned to listen to their leader. "These motherfuckers are pushing us too hard so we going to show them that they can't push us around. We're doing three hits now. We light up three different locations at the same time. Any able body person needs to roll out right fucking now. Me, Tri and Reezy will lead the group. Once you suit up, I got more info for you. Let's go."
Ghost walked away without saying anything else and everyone followed him.
"Ay man, I heard what happened, you good?" MC had found Ghost getting his weapons and joined him.
"Yeah I'm good." Huey said emotionless.
"How grandad?"
"He'll get through it. He's too stubborn to be injured for long."
Caesar smirked. "You got that right."
"Where's HO?" Huey asked.
"He already got his shit on. He by the vans." MC informed him.
"Good." He walked back to the main room where everyone was waiting for the next information. They had already split themselves into three groups. This is why he liked the gang. They had common sense. He didn't even need to tell them who should go with who, makes his job 10 times easier.
"Some of you may know, three of them motherfuckers beat up my grandad last night... nearly killed him but they didn't." He heard the gasps around the room. That was a huge disrespect. You never involve the innocents in a war. "They crossed a line and they need to pay. While you're raiding these places, not only collect the drugs and money but look out for a female that looks like Scarlett Johannsson with short brown hair, if you don't know who she is, google it. Then two males: one with one eye and blonde hair. The other was bald with a spider tattoo on his head. Once you locate them, capture them and bring them here, to me. I will sort them out. Anyone else... kill them." Ghost told them all. He saw all his people nod in understanding. "Roll out!"
They all ran out to each different van, jumped in and drove off as if they were in a high-speed chance.
"I take it grandad is cool." HO said as he drove them to the original location they had. It was harder to drive since it wasn't night time like they would usually be driving around to complete their 'missions'. This was a matter that wasn't going to wait to be sorted when the sun set, this had to be addressed now.
Huey nodded. "Going to have a walking stick."
"Damn... that's fucked."
"Which is the very reason we have to end this soon. We can't have anyone else getting hurt."
"I hear that..." Hiro contemplated if he should ask Huey this next question.
Huey saw his friends conflicted face and sighed silently. "What's on your mind?"
Hiro scratched the back of his neck. "Um, this sounds stupid but, have you been getting dreams about, you know, Jazmine? I got one of Ming last night and I don't think I can get over her any time soon, shit pulled at a boy's heart strings and shit. I felt as if she was actually here with me you know. I don't know if I should find someone else to get my mind off her, I don't know, its fucked."
"At least yours was a dream... mine was a fucking nightmare." Huey looked out the window at first but gave a quick look at Hiro who was encouraging him to talk. Why he opened his mouth again, he didn't know. "It started off as a dream... I was in a house and saw Jazmine... and a baby, a little boy. Jazmine said he was 10 months and our son, we were also engaged. It all seemed fun when the baby started walking towards me, calling me dad and all that shit but then I remembered it wasn't real. She got angry, I closed my eyes and when I opened it... she was gone. That's when I heard... Cairo." Huey saw the shocked look on Hiro's face but he didn't say anything. "He was there, with blood dripping from his bullet wound, the one that killed him and said that people around me die. That's when... Jazmine came out. Her dress was covered in blood, I couldn't believe it. They both started shouting at me, blaming me for their deaths, saying I would never be happy, that everyone around me dies. I couldn't take it and forced myself awake. I haven't had a nightmare about Cairo in over 10 years and now he comes back with Jazmine. Shit fucked a nigga up, I can't even lie about that shit."
Hiro looked at his friend and boss. It was different to see him spill out so much emotion. He would never do this if you asked him about a nightmare months ago. He wouldn't even let you know if he had a dream let alone a nightmare! This was all new so Hiro took time to soak in the information that was laid out in front of him.
"You love her."
"Huh?" Huey turned to face Hiro so face, he nearly got whiplash.
Hiro shrugged. "It's simple, you. Love. Jazmine."
Huey shook his head. "That's impossible, we barely knew each other."
Hiro chuckled. "I hate to sound like one of them people but I have to be. Love doesn't have a time for when it comes, it just comes and you my friend, love someone you meet for a couple of weeks and her being away has made it even stronger. You miss her but your guilty of the pain you put her through which is driving you mad, probably why Cairo popped up. You feel guilty for them both."
Huey listened to what Hiro had to say. Did he love Jazmine? He knew he felt guilt for Jazmine's kidnapping and Cairo's death but did he love her?
Every time he heard her name, his heart tightened, in a good and bad way. He shouldn't feel this way, he never has and he didn't want to. Maybe he did love her... it was too late anyway. He screwed up and she was far away from him which is good for her. But was it good for him?
"It doesn't matter anyway. She's gone." Was the best response he could give.
"Huey..."
"We're here." Ghost interrupted the driver.
HO looked over and saw Ghost already jumping out the van with his weapon ready and mask on. He sighed and did the same. His boss was suffering.
Ghost walked to the back and opened up the van.
His people all came pilling out, ready for action.
"Remember the three people we are looking out for. If you find them, knock them out and bring them here. Do NOT kill them. Kill everyone else." Ghost told them. They all nodded. "Move out."
Ghost took the lead while HO covered the back. Ghost lived up to his name and moved like one, silently. Everyone else were a bit louder but not enough to draw attention.
They got to the door and Ghost held up his closed fist, making everyone stop. He put his head to the door and could hear the faint sound of laughter.
He turned and pointed to the door. They all understood. Standing, Ghost lifted his foot and sent a powerful kick to the door, knocking it off the hinges.
That's when the panic came.
The Panthers all raced inside, guns aimed. Bullets flew towards them and they all ducked and took cover.
"You know what to do!" Ghost shouted.
His people nodded before moving in different directions.
HO took a peak around the corner and saw someone hiding in their own corner. As he went to shot them, someone popped up in front of him, knocked his gun out his hand and punched him in the face.
"Shit!" He screamed as pain flooded his nose.
"Come on Jackie Chan! Let's see what you got." The man taunted as he squared up.
HO looked at him in disbelief.
"Really. We're doing this?"
The man shrugged.
HO sighed. "Fine."
He didn't even get time to get in his own stance as he was kicked in the side.
"Mother!"
Before the man could kick HO again, his leg was grabbed and pushed sideways, making him lose balance. That's when HO jumped up and sent two kicks into his back, making him drop.
"Is that all you got?" The man mocked.
He stood back up and threw punches towards HO who managed to expertly block each one. The man was frustrated so threw some more but all hits were blocked. It didn't take long before the punches became sloppy and slow. Seeing the opening, HO geared up one good punch and sent it right to his temple. He crumpled to the ground as if he was a piece of paper.
"And I'm Japanese. Bastard." HO said the last word in his mother tongue to emphases where he was from. All Asian's are not from China!
Ghost had made his way further into the house when he heard something drop. He turned to see a door open and someone with blonde hair rush out and turn to look at him. That's when Ghost saw it. One eye.
His eyes turned into slits and his vision was on this one person.
The man tried to run but Ghost was quicker. He ran up behind him and pulled him back using his jumper, making the man drop flat on his back. Not in the mood to give the man a fighting chance, Ghost punched the blonde in the face a couple of times before flipping him on his stomach. Once he was on his stomach, Ghost quickly wrapped his arm around his neck and applied pressure.
"Huh! Huk!" The man struggles for air.
"Don't. Fight. It." Ghost said through gritted teeth. He could feel his heart rate slow and stopped apply pressure. The man was unconscious, not dead.
Ghost stood up, grabbed one of the guys legs and began to drag him towards the exit.
HO ran around the corner, gun in hand.
"Damn. Which one that?" HO questioned.
"One eye." Ghost answered.
"And you didn't have to break a sweat."
HO grabbed another leg and helped Ghost drag him outside. Ghost looked around and saw only a few bodies his people managed to take care of. Weather they were dead or not didn't matter.
They were all going to die.
Ghost pulled out a grenade.
"Oh shhiittt." HO saw it and instantly knew what was going to happen. "Max! Help me with this!" He called out for another person to help drag the body to the van, leaving Huey in front of the house.
Ghost held the grenade in his hand. Fire did sell good shit.
Before he took the pin out, he paused when he heard a noise.
He ran back inside the house.
"Ghost!" HO called out. "Fuck man." He sighed. Why did he run back inside?
Ghost ran back inside, still aware he was on enemy ground and followed the noise which lead him to the same room the blonde had come out.
He walked in and was shocked at what he saw, his ears matched what he thought he heard.
A cry.
From a baby.
There lying on the bed was a baby who didn't look over 3 months old. He couldn't believe it. He nearly killed an innocent child. He felt sick.
He walked closer to the red face baby and froze. He couldn't leave the baby here. He was going to burn down the building, the baby couldn't stay here.
"Fuck." Ghost said out loud.
He picked up the baby who was wrapped up in a blue blanket, making him think it was a baby boy and gentle bounced him like how Anthony and Dante would do. Almost instantly, the baby stopped crying.
Ghost was about to walk out when the baby's eyes opened. It was green. Emerald green. Like Jazmine's.
'Get out of there Ghost!' He shouted to himself.
Snapping out of the day dream, he picked up the only baby bag in the room, flung it around his shoulder and ran out.
He turned, took out the grenade again, used his teeth to pull off the pin and threw it. Despite his hands being full, he still had perfect aim and managed to smash the window.
Then Ghost ran. He ran as quickly as he could and held the baby close to his chest to block out as much noise from the explosi-
"AHHHHH!" The baby screamed as the house went up in flames, glass and brick flying everywhere.
After what felt like forever, Ghost saw the van and jumped in making HO speed away instantly.
"Did you- how- a fucking baby?!" HO couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing. Ghost went in empty handed now had a whole baby in his arms.
"I heard him crying." Ghost breathed out.
"Him?"
Ghost shrugged. "Blue blanket. Need you to drive fast. I wanna drop him to my parents at the hospital before we go back to the warehouse."
HO looked at him strange but didn't say anything and did what he was told.
At the same time all this happen, Reezy and MC had just entered the building they were assigned to.
"Surprise motherfuckers!" Reezy shouted his favourite line for whenever they raided a house.
Shots were fired and everyone was ducking and diving.
MC jumped into action and started shooting up the place. He heard someone coming up behind him and turned, sending a punch straight at them. He looked at the person who was trying to recover from the punch and threw his arms up in disappointment.
"Maaaannnn not a brother!"
An older black man looked pissed at MC.
MC shook his head. "A motherfucking uncle Tom. Such a sad sight to see."
The man punched the Panther member in the lip. "You talk too much nigga."
"Oh... I have to kick your ass now." MC squared up. The man threw a punch which he dodged and sent an uppercut straight to his chin. This made the man stumbled backwards so MC pulled out his gun and let the bullet fly straight through his skull. "This could have ended differently brother." MC sighed before going to see who else needed to be killed.
Reezy was having his usual shoot out fun until he felt someone jump on his back, trying to strangle him.
"Ak! What the fuc-!" Reezy ran backwards so the person hit their back against the wall. Once he felt them loosen their grip, he bent over (pause) and threw them over his head. The person crashed to the floor and he ripped the mask off their face. "Ay! Scarlet Johansson looking bitch!" He shouted in realisation.
She looked at him confused before kicking him in the family jewels.
"Bitch..." He coughed out as he held onto them for dear life. Those were his babies. He dropped to his knees in pain and she took the opportunity to try and kick him in the face but he was quick to caught it.
He pulled her leg towards him, making her hop closer before punching her in the face.
"Ow!" She held onto her nose in pain as she landed on the floor.
"My mama told me not to hit girls but fuck that!" Reezy stood up and got ready to fight.
Instead of fighting back, she turned and tried to run.
"Nah fuck that!" Reezy swung his leg which connected with hers, making her fall to the ground. Unfortunately for her, a table was in the way on her way down and her forehead connected with it, knocking her out.
Reezy looked at her still body shocked. There was a single line of blood slowly moving down her forehead.
"Ay Reezy did you find- nigga did you kill her?!" MC ran up to his friend who was staring at the body.
"Ionknow. If she is, Ghost gonna kill me."
MC went over and felt for a pulse. He let out a breath. "She's alive!"
Reezy sighed with relief. "Good. Let's blow this bitch up and bounce." He threw the woman over his shoulder and carried her to the van. "Make sure you zip tie this hoe up good. She will kick you in the dick." He told them all as he threw her in the back.
The building exploded and they all jumped in the van and drove back to the warehouse. At least they got one.
Tri and Dee had entered the building of their own location. The twins moved in sync with one another.
It was all going well until they saw the person they were looking for. The bald head with a spider tattoo. Grandad missed out the part when he was built like the rock... but times 10.
"For fuck sakes..." Tri sighed in annoyance.
"Why we get left with the big crazy one." Dee stomped his foot. Something his daughter would do.
"Stop being pussies and fight!" The man's deep voice vibrated the whole room.
"Just remember what he did to grandad." Tri reminded his twin. They nodded and charged towards the man, to then get clothed lined.
"Damn that shit hurt." Dee moaned on the floor.
"Haha. This is as easy as your grandfather." The man laughed.
This pissed them off. They jumped up again and started to attack the man from different angles. Not many made contact but they were not going to give up.
Tri dodged a punch but the same hand opened up and grabbed Dee by the neck. He began to squeeze.
"Fu-ck!" Dee chocked out. He had never been chocked like this before.
Tri panicked and looked around the room. He saw a chair, picked it up and smashed it against his head. The man froze, dropped and slowly turned around. Tri was pretty sure he heard growling.
"Ohhhhh shhhiiiiitttt." Tri had to keep dodging all the punches. He was large so didn't have much speed to him, he had to use that to his advantage.
Dee managed to catch most his breath and saw his brother running around, trying not to get caught by the large man. That's when he thought of the idea. He caught his twin's eyes and held up the number two. Tri knew what it meant and smirked.
The man swung at Tri again who ducked and rolled over to where his brother was standing. They barely gave the man a second to turn before delivery a sharp punch to each side of his head.
"Double trouble motherfucker!" They both shouted. They turned and gave a donkey kick right to the chest, causing the man to crash to the floor, out cold.
Tri and Dee hunched over to catch their breath.
"A nigga needs to get back to working out because what the fuck was that shit. I'm tired as fuck." Dee whipped the sweat off his forehead.
"I hear that." Tri leaned back. "Ay! Come help drag this nigga out!"
In came two other members who grabbed the man's legs while the twins grabbed the arms. They dragged him outside, sent the grenade inside and ran to the van, ready to get the fuck out of there and back to the warehouse.
Outside the hospital
"We got here just in time." Ghost said as he saw his parents, aunties and uncles coming outside. "Pull up here, I'm jumping out." He told the driver who did what he was asked.
Christian looked ahead and noticed the black van in front of them. People were looking at it cautiously, scared at what business a van had at the hospital.
"Huey?" He said out loud. Mackenzie turned to her husband confused, so she followed his eyes.
She saw her son holding... a baby?!
Huey jogged towards his family who were all surprised.
"Baby... why do you have a baby?" Mackenzie smiled nervously at him.
He quickly but safely handed the baby over to her.
"I found him, I'm guessing, at one of the stash houses. Couldn't leave them. I gotta go, bye." With that, Huey ran back to the van and raced off.
"Huey! I'm too old for this!" She shouted after him but they were already gone. There was no point in trying.
Naomi and Trinity looked at the baby. "Girrrllll he gave you a little white baby."
Trinity shrugged. "Could be mixed. Look at the hair."
Mario shook his head. "This shit is something else.
"Tell me about it." Dominic added.
"So. Who wants a baby?" Christian asked the other two couples.
"Nope."
"Bye."
"Hello. Hey baby, no I'm not busy."
"Jesus is that you calling?"
Christian and Mackenzie looked at the four other adults walking away.
"You hoes so immature!" She shouted after them, but they continued to act deaf. She sighed and looked at the still sleeping baby. "I guess we have to do some baby shopping. We don't know how long we're going to have him. He looks like a him, right?" She asked him.
"Yeah but you can check when you change his diaper. You know, to be sure." They began to walk towards the car. "We don't even have a car seat..."
"What the fuck is you son up to? Shit, getting a bitch stressed out about children when mine are already grown. I don't want to go back, been there done that. Stupid child of mine." Mackenzie cussed as she got in the car. She was just going to have to hold the baby for now.
Whose baby is this?
Ghost reached back to the warehouse at last.
"What took your ass so long?" He saw Midnight come up to him. She walked slowly, trying not to strain her body.
"What's your ass doing here?" Huey threw back at her. He went to the back and had HO help him drag the body to the very special room for people like them.
"You know I wanted to see if you caught that bitch. I was not going to sit at home while she's here."
"You can't do nothing."
Midnight paused and looked at him crazy before walking back up next to him dragging the body to the room. "We have known each other for hmm nearly 26 years nigga- woah your birthday coming up- and you still think I'm going to let a little injury stopping me from what I wanna do. Huh you crazy."
Ghost walked in first and saw two people already tied to the chairs with black bags over their head. There was one chair left, waiting for the one-eyed man to take place.
"About time. Why it take you so long?" Reezy complained.
"I'll explain everything later." He looked around the room and saw everyone looked a little roughed up. "Do I even want to know what happened to you lot?"
"No." They all answered.
"Ok then." Ghost and HO tied the man to the chair, put a bag over his head and stepped back.
"Midnight what you doing here?" Dee asked her.
She rolled her eyes. "I'm here to kill a bitch duh."
"I'll like to see you try." They all turned to look at the only female tied to the chair.
Raven smirked as she walked over to stand in front of her. "Aww look who woke up-" She ripped off the bag and her face dropped. "Who the fuck is this?"
They all looked at her confused.
"This not the Natasha bitch you were on about?" MC asked.
The woman smirked. "Ha! You were looking for my twin sister Natasha. I'm Natalia."
"Shit... same thing. You can fuck her up too." Reezy shrugged.
Midnight was fuming. "This is not the bitch I wanted! I wanted Natasha not Natalia! And it's the wrong one that jumped granddad so it's not just me that should be pissed!"
"Will you please be quiet, I'm trying to sleep here." The large man the twins brought in was awake. They pulled off his bag. He looked Raven up and down. "Hm. Pretty girl."
She rolled her eyes in disgust. "You wish." He shrugged.
"You going to wake up your little friend over there?" Tri crossed his arms. The man looked straight ahead.
"Fine. I'll wake him up." Ghost walked over to the blonde and removed the last bag. He took out his knife and placed it on his eyebrow, on top of his missing eye. He then slowly dragged it down his face, making the man jump awake.
"Ah! Motherfucker!" He screamed. He tried to fight against the restraints but it didn't work. He could feel the blood dripping down his face.
"Now!" Ghost voice boomed around the room, grabbing everyone's attention. "You all best start talking before I start cutting off pieces of your body."
Nothing.
Ghost paused. "You think I'm playing?"
HO smirked at them. "I suggest you say something before you lose something."
Silence.
"Nothing?"
…
"Ok."
Ghost walked over to the biggest person and smirked as he took out his knife.
"Fuuuuucccccccckk!" The large man screamed.
Ghost dropped the item on the floor. It was the man's ear.
He began to curse in Russian but Ghost blocked it out.
"Names! Dates! Locations! Something motherfuckers! I got all day for this shit. I'm not like your shitty ass leader that likes to talk. Tell me something. I know they're itchy to hurt you bitches." Ghost looked over to the six other people in the room and saw on all their faces that they were thirsty for blood. Even though the girl didn't do anything directly, she was still responsible. She had to pay for her twin's sins. Ghost took a deep breath. "Fine. Midnight."
He turned to walk away as Midnight stepped up. She already had her weapon of choice in her hand. It was a crowbar. She swung, making a connection with Natalia's face.
"Ahhh!" She cried out as she felt her lip bust open.
Midnight swung again, causing her nose to bleed.
"I think my nose is broken..." She moaned out in pain.
"Tell us what we wanna know and I might save you a broken cheek bone." Midnight threatened her but she got no answer. "I guess I gotta swing harder-"
"Wait!" Natalia lowered her face in fear.
"Start talking." Ghost demanded. Midnight drop the crowbar and stepped back, happy that she was talking. Her ribs were starting to hurt her. She only did it because the men refuse to put their hands on women (besides from self-defence like Reezy earlier). Midnight knew Natalia was the weakest link, she needed to break. And she did just that.
Natalia took a deep breath. "Vladimir is selling the coke for low price. That way people will get hooked and demand more product. He gets more money and gets what you got."
"You bitch!" The man with the spider tattoo tried to grab her. "You're weak! Pathetic! We should have left you to die all them months ago! Ungrateful bitch! Just wait until Vlad- ahk ahk" He began to choke on his own blood.
Ghost drove his dagger through his throat. There was something about driving the blade into his skin and hearing the gurgle of blood that was satisfying his ears right now. He might have become crazy.
Once Ghost removed the blade, the mans head dropped and blood leaked all over his lap. Some even landed on Ghost's legs but he didn't care.
He stood so that the remaining two could see his tall statue and the blade that was dripping with blood.
"What. Else?"
Again, nothing.
Ghost sighed and rubbed his forehead, being mindful of the blood that was on his hand.
"Do I have to get some to-"
"Did you kill him?" The blonde man spoke up for the first time in a while.
Everyone looked at him. "Who?"
"The baby. Did you kill him?"
Everyone besides HO was confused. "What baby?" MC asked.
Ghost ignored them. "No. Unlike your boss, I don't hurt the innocent."
He nodded. "He's not mine. You don't need to worry about the parents, they're dead."
Midnight looked at Ghost. "What baby Ghost?" She repeated the same question MC had.
"I told you I will tell you later." He looked at them all seriously. He turned back to the two in the chair. "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
They shook their head.
"Ok." Ghost stepped in front of the blonde and pulled out his gun. "He'll be fine." Ghost blocked out the woman's crying and sobbing and aimed the gun at the man's head. The one eye he had left looked Ghost dead in his maroon eyes. He suddenly smirked.
"I hope your grandfather choked on his own bloo-" He was cut off once the bullet entered his good eye and through his brain.
"Shhiitt Ghost! You killed her too." HO said shocked as he looked at her head that was hanging low.
Ghost was shocked too and walked to the middle of the two.
The bullet had exited the blondes head and entered the back of hers.
"Shit. I was going to let Midnight do it."
"Too late nigga." She slowly shook her head.
Ghost sighed. "Oh well. Let's go to my office." They all walked out casually, leaving behind three, fresh, dead bodies behind. The regularly people will clean it up.
They walked into Ghost office and all relaxed a bit. It was an active few hours from the moment they woke up.
"So, you going to tell us what baby cyclops was talking about?" Raven gestured behind her.
"Imagine we're ready to leave and I see this guy run back in and comes out with a baby. Then he made me drive to the hospital to give to Chris and Kenzie before we dipped straight after. I know his mum is fuming." Hiro smirked.
"What are you going to do with the baby Huey?" Dante questioned his cousin.
Huey sighed. "I don't know. All I knew was that he could stay there."
"You going to look after him?" Demetrius asked.
Huey looked at his cousin as if he was stupid. "Do you really think I have time to look after a baby right now?"
"Yeah that was a stupid question to ask." He mumbled in embarrassment.
"Well we can't throw him in the foster system! You know how shit that is." Raven pointed out.
"What do you suggest we do?" Huey asked her.
She took a deep breath. "Can't your parents look after him?"
"As much as they enjoy babies, they like to give them back. They're not going to want to keep a baby."
They all sat there silently, wondering what to do next. This was a child they were talking about. They were innocent in all of this and deserved a good life.
Raven was in deeper thought. She had a friend that was in the foster system and she heard many horror stories as well as the good. Unfortunately for the girl, there was more bad memories than good. She was got adopted at 16 so she finally got the home she wished for.
'No... you can't do it.' Raven thought to herself.
Huey saw the look on Raven's face and knew her long enough to see she was arguing with herself in her head.
"Raven. Speak what's on your mind."
She looked at all the men in the room. She really needed to find some female friends. "I was thinking... what if I take him?"
They all looked at her shocked.
"As in, adopt?" Caesar pushed.
She shrugged. "Yeah... I think so."
"Dead ass?" Dante added.
"Dead ass." She said more confidently.
Riley burst out in laughter, making her eyebrows screw together. "Hoe whatchu know about babies?"
"Shut up. You're saying it like people can't learn. And I'll have you know that I am amazing with babies."
"Huh. Ok nigga, whatever you say."
"Are you sure?" Huey asked her. She turned and looked him in the eyes. They had a silent conversation where they both came to an understanding.
Before they could continue, there was knock at the door.
"Come in!" Huey called out.
In walked his parents with the wide awake and active baby in her arms.
"What are you doing here?" Huey asked them.
Raven and Riley got out their seats to allow the elders to take a seat.
"You really think you could throw a child in my arms and I wasn't going to come find you before you could find me. Huh. You're crazy." Mackenzie looked her son up and down.
"So, where's his parents?" Christian inquired.
"Dead." Huey told them.
"Did you?"
"No."
"Ok."
They all just looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Hmm hmm." The baby began to suck on his fist.
"What's going to happen to little man?" Christian smiled at the baby. Huey watched the way his parents interacted with the baby and wondered if this was how they acted with him and Riley.
He mentally rolled his eyes. 'Of course they did.'
"Well we were just discussing that... and Raven was thinking about taking him."
Mackenzie swung around to look at the girl she knew since birth. "You? You want the baby?"
Raven shrugged. "I can try. If it is too much for me, I will make sure he gets the perfect home."
"That's very honourable of you." Mackenzie stood and walked over to Raven. "Raven meet baby, baby meet Raven." Carefully, she passed the baby over to the younger woman. "He's not even two months yet. We found his birth certificate in the bag with just his date of birth. Nothing else. It wasn't filled out yet."
Raven looked at the baby in her arms. He was adorable! His green eyes were wide with curiosity, wondering who was this woman holding him. He was small but that wasn't going to be for long, she was going to fatten him up a bit. "Hey baby. I'm going to look after you now. Is that ok?" She talked to the baby who just continued to look her deep into her eyes. He was grabbing at her heart.
"You know we can't just keep calling the baby, baby. He needs a name." Caesar told them.
Everyone started thinking of names but Raven already had one in her mind. She thought of the tattoo of a name that she will never forget.
"Cairo. His name will be Cairo." She announced. She began to tear up as the baby began to coo at the name. "Looks like he likes his names. Isn't that right Cairo?"
Mackenzie put her hands to her mouth as she wrapped her arms around Raven. "Perfect name for a perfect baby." Mackenzie turned to Huey who was silent for a very long time. "Don't you think son?"
Huey snapped out of his day dream. Hearing Raven say Cairo's name was weird. She never liked to talk about him as much as Huey did. They both had a mutual understanding that it was a painful time for them both.
"Yeah... it's a nice name." He took a quick glance at his tattoo that was creeping out from under his sleeve. That's when last night's nightmare flashed in his head and he quickly whipped his head upwards so he wasn't looking at the name anymore. "I'll give you some money to get things you're going to need."
"Thank you Hu. I'm going to find Faith to check him over, just in case." Raven nodded as she walked out with the baby in her hand. He already had her full attention.
Hearing the female doctors name made Dante perk up. "I'll come with you!"
Demetrius shook his head at his brother. "I'll make sure he stays on a leash."
"We'll get to work." Caesar and Hiro said their goodbyes before leaving the family of four in the room.
"Been a crazy 24 hours huh?" Christian smirked.
Huey sighed. "That's not even the half of it."
"This whole day is just one big mess! At this point, a nigga needs a draank." Riley exaggerated.
"If you're that tired, I think you need to go back to training." Christian told his youngest child.
"Ion need it."
"Yeah you do. Everyone is going to be training whenever they can. The Russian's are serious business but it is nothing we can't handle. Training will just make it all run more smoother." Huey told his brother who rolled his eyes.
Mackenzie smiled softly before it dropped as quick as it came up. "I hate to break it to you baby but... they're already breaking out. The drug is out. The streets are going to be a lot more dangerous so just be careful please. I love you boys. I don't want to see you hurt."
"Mama you know we straight. Ain't nobody going to touch Young Reezy. I'm too fly for that shit."
She shook her head. "It's you I'm most worried about as well."
Riley looked offended but said nothing.
"How's granddad?" Huey asked.
"He's doing alright. He's just been sleeping off the surgery but Jaliyah is keeping us updated as much as she can. Going to visit him again soon." Christian told his sons. Him and his wife stood so Huey did too. "We'll see you when we see you."
"Be careful." Their mother reminded them.
They said their goodbyes and left the two brothers alone.
"Maannn shit about to get crazy. And a nigga 'bout to be 24 next week." Riley flopped back into the chair he gave up for his mother.
"Yeah, I'm going to be 26 soon. We going to be spending our birthdays in shoot outs." Huey leaned back in his chair.
"Ay. I don't mind, as long as a nigga doesn't get shot, I'm good."
Huey rolled his eyes. "Whatever Riley."
"Shiitt if only niggas weren't trying to blow a motherfuckers brains out, I would have thrown a lit party. Might just popped up to The Blue Moon just for a little sum sum... even though it won't be the same." Riley mumbled the last bit, hoping Huey wouldn't hear but he hears everything.
Huey looked at his brother who was looking everywhere but at him. He does that when he does something he shouldn't be doing. "Have you started your insta stalking on Royalty already?" Huey thought to ask.
Riley looked at him shocked. 'How this nigga know?'
"No." Was what Riley choose to say.
"Riley..."
"Ok! Ok! Shit!" Riley pulled out his phone and went on Instagram to Royalty's page which came up quicker than it should have. "She posted a picture of her in front of a mall. Do you want to know where?"
Huey didn't want to know where Jazmine was. That was the reason why he never checked the necklace. "No-"
"Woodcrest! They went back home." Riley didn't even care about Huey's own sanity and blurted out the answer.
'They did go back to where it all started. Thought as much. Must have been hard for them... fuck.' Huey thought.
"She probably hooking up with an old boyfriend or some shit." Riley stood up and began to pace up and down. "I don't give a fuck. She can do what she wants. She's a grown ass woman. We ain't together. At least I know where they are, I need to tell Caesar or his bitch ass won't stop crying over Cindy. Damn. I need some pussy right now... you think the girls at the club will be up for it?"
Huey looked at his brother confused. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"What?" Riley stopped and looked at his brother.
"I told your ass to leave them girls alone, what don't you understand about that. Go do some fucking work instead of thinking about getting your dick wet."
Riley got angry. "Man fuck you! A nigga just trying to have some fun. Maybe you need to get your dick wet to relax your tight ass. Pause. Pussy ass nigga..." Riley mumbled as he stormed out the room, slamming the door behind him.
Huey sighed and leaned into his chair. His brother was a handful but he couldn't blame him. He was curious about where they (Jazmine) had ended up flying to in this world.
'Interesting.'
Did he mess up her life so bad that she choice-
'Wait. No. I need to stop. It's not all about me. I just need to let her go. Forget about her. Let her live in peace. Away from the Chicago. Away from the gang life. Away from... me. I need to move on. I can't be mopping around about a female.'
Huey pulled out his phone and found an old contact he hadn't hit up for months and never thought he would hit up again.
Huey: Hey.
It only took a few seconds for the person to reply.
Contact: Long time no talk Freeman.
Huey: You know I been busy with the gang and shit.
Contact: I know, that's why I'm giving you a pass. You're an important ass nigga.
Huey: You free tonight?
Contact: You know my address xx
Huey let out a tiny smirk. He was going to ignore his swollen heart and follow the dark part of his brain that was sneaking back to the for front of his mind. He was about to be like his little brother.
Everything was about to change.
