Fucking finally! I'm back if anyone noticed, it's not very important.I got your reviews Richard!!!

Listening to "Thugz Mansion (Acoustic)" by 2pac and Nas helped me write this story. I suggest you download it.

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind So much pressure in this life of mine I cry at times I once contemplated suicide And went a try But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes No one knows the struggle They only see the trouble Not knowin' it's hard to carry on, when no one loves you Picture me inside the misery of property No one alive has ever witnessed struggles I survive Prayin' hard for better dayz Promised to hold on Me and my dogs ain't got a choice, but to roll on We finally found a spot to kick it Where no one bickers over trick shit A spot where we could smoke in peace And even though we Gs, we still visualize places, that we could roll in peace -2pac

The Devil's Handiwork: Chapter 4

Lin quickly jumped through the air behind a cryogenic capsule to avoid inevitable gunfire. Vicious drew his sword and before a second passed, was attempting to stab the new enemy. The White Tiger dodged Vicious's attacks, but it was apparent it wasn't easy. Spike drew his gun from his holster as he dived behind another cryogenic pod opposite of Lin. Lin fired his gun at the ceiling to alert the Red Dragons waiting outside to come in and provide backup. The three occupants of the lab, Dr. Bauchus, Miss Manley, and Witney ran out through the front door screaming. The White Tiger operative stepped behind a cryo capsule to avoid the vicious slashes of Vicious and drew his handgun. Vicious shoved his sword through the capsule, destroying the computer system on the pod containing the sleeping human.

"You are very persistent, you scum," the White Tiger commented to Vicious as he jumped onto a desk and aimed his 9millimeter at Vicious. Vicious simply looked at him, devising a plan as the light flickered from the reflection of his blade and lightened his shadowy face. "Get out of the way!" Spike yelled as he opened the back door for all of the other Dragons to enter.

At that moment, the White Tiger fired his gun. There a was loud 'cling' sound through the cold laboratory.

The White Tiger on the table dropped dead due to the bullet he shot. Vicious had deflected it with his sword and aimed in at the White Tiger's head.

At the moment Vicious killed the first Tiger, many more crashed through the windows. The Dragons were soon cut down to only a few men, including Spike, Lin and Vicious, and were surrounded.

A man in a white suit stepped through the crowd of enemy Syndicate members and smirked at the Red Dragons who had seemingly lost this bout.

"That so called 'spy' was merely a fake to get you fools to come here." the man in the white suit said as he tightened his tie.

"Do you have a grudge against us!? I will protect my friends for the honor of the Red Dragon Clan." Lin spat at the man.

"Idiot. You actually believe in te garbage the leaders of the Red Dragon Syndicate tell you? They hired US to kill you."

Lin and Spike gasped at this remark and Vicious smiled.

"That's impossible!" Lin yelled.

"Why would they betray us?!" Spike added.

They could hear laughs coming from te White Tigers surrounding them with their guns cocked and ready to bust.

"Well the 'Van'" the man made quotations with his fingers "told me not to tell you anything, but I'll grant your dying wish. I feel good cause all of us are getting paid big bucks for this job." the man said in his flamboyant voice and movements.

Vicious fell on the floor out of nowhere, Spike looked at him but Lin was distracted by the man in the white suit.

"I have something to asked of you before I die." Spike sounded to sound like he was afraid. "What's your name?"

"Why Abacus Shields! The infamous gateway baron and vice-president of the White Tiger Crime Syndicate!" the man stupidly blurted out. "Thanks." Vicious laughed and pulled a detonator from his pocket. He flipped the cap off and pushed the button. An explosion occurred to the far right of the laboratory.

"Come on!" Vicious screamed at the top of his lungs to all his partners. He had deviously created a distraction so he and his teammates can escape alive. He purposely slid a grenade across the floor when he faked a fall..Spike, Lin, and most of the other dragons noticed. The Tigers were too busy being proud of themselves when they're really idiots.

They all ran out of the door while the White Tigers tried to avoid the smoke that filled the lab.

The Red Dragons jumped into the limousines waiting a block away for them and took of without second thought.

"Amazing, Vicious." Spike laughed as he stretched his body across the limo's long black leather seat.

"I admit, that was pretty clever." Lin smiled and rested his arms on his knees for a rest.

"Onto more important issues, I don't think that moron, Shields, was telling the truth." Vicious said before he closed his eyes and took a minor nap.
