Chapter 37
Letty took the bus and headed to the one place she wished she didn't have to go to. Unfortunately she had no choice, she had to help out the only family that she knew now. As the bus passed different neighborhoods she thought about what she would say and the consequences that could occur. She thought about how Dominic and Vince would not be too happy with her when they find out what Leon and she had been doing. Jesse wasn't as involved because of his ADD and the fact that when they started he was only 14 years old. Now at 16 years old he wanted in on what Leon and her where doing.
She got off the bus and took a look around. The neighborhood was full of mansions and nice expansive cars. The rich people and their spoiled kids lived here, she couldn't believe that she was there. She began to walk up the block to the peach house at the corner. She slowly walked up there, thinking and rethinking if she should go knock at the walnut wooden door. She knocked on the door regretting it just as her fist hit the wood. The door opened and there he stood with a shit-eating grin.
"Well well well how the mighty have fallen." he teased her, she rolled her eyes at him. "I need your help." she said woodenly. His grin got wider and he thought about the possibilities. "What kinda help?" She took a deep breath feeling her heart race, "I need money and I know you can give me some." he nodded. "Ok you got my attention." he motioned for her to walk in.
She walked in looking around she saw a grand staircase to the side, a big living room in front of her and she could see the dinning table from where she stood. The house was the biggest she had ever seen.
"Sit down and explain to me exactly why you needed the money. Then I might consider giving it to you." she sat in one of the white sofas and began her explanation.
"I see. Well I guess I can loan you the money of course you will have to work for me." he told her after she had finished explaining. "I will work for you, but I wont fuck you, I wont kill anyone for you either and I wont do anything that has to do with hurting Dominic in anyway, shape or form." He laughed lightly, "You are some stupid bitch to be in love with him. Why would you want to be with someone that has slept around, not to mention the fact that he slept with my sister." Letty glared at him, "I know he slept with your sister, but that was before we got together. Anyway I wouldn't be talking if I was you 'cause as far as I'm concern you go around fucking everything with legs or a hole." "Now now lil' Letty don't play games with me because then there wont be any money. Wait here." he got up and walked up the stairs, minutes later he came back with a bag in his hands. He sat down and placed the bag on top of the coffee table. He slowly retrieved the money. "For now I will only give you $10,000. I know you need more, but I want to make sure that you keep to your word. Here you go." he handed the money to Letty, she took it and began to count it. Once she finished she looked back at him, "Thanks." she spat out. "Tell you what I'm heading out to downtown L.A. I'll do you a favor and give you a ride, plus I don't want you losing the money. Lets go." They got up and got in his car. The ride was silent neither one said anything. He dropped her off in downtown and she went back to meet with Leon and Jesse at the park.
Once she had arrived the boys quickly ran over to her. "So did you get it?" Leon questioned her with anticipation. "Yeah here it is." Letty showed them the money, Leon smiled and Jesse's eyes went wide. "Where'd you get that much money?" Letty cringed at the thought. "From an old friend." "Oh." Leon took the money and put it away in Jesse's backpack. "Ok lets go give this to George before he comes looking for us."
The three began to walk towards South Central L.A. Once there they made their way into a dark alley. Homeless and drug addicts where scattered around the alley. They found the old broken door. Leon knocked and they waited for the guard to open up. When he did only Letty and Leon walked in, Jesse stayed outside waiting for them.
They walked through the dark hallway to the end where there was another door. The guard opened it up. A man sat in a chair, a cigar in one hand and money on the other. He looked up to see the two young teens walk in.
"Well nice of you to finally drop by. I was about to send my men looking for you, you wouldn't want that now would you? You are two weeks late, but since it's the first time this happens I'll let you go with a warning." A tall, heavy set man walked in and took Leon by his shirt and dragged him into another room. Letty was about to protest but the man that was sitting down interrupted her. "Now now, you wouldn't want to interrupt little girl because my guys would love a taste of you." he laughed heartily, "Where's the money?" Letty handed him the money and he began to count. "It's all there George. Can you just give me the merchandise, so we can go." George looked at her and growled at her, "I will count it 'cause I don't trust you bitch." When he finished he motioned for another man to go get him the supplies. "Here it is, I'll give you two weeks to pay for it, plus don't forget that you still own me a lot more. You better be on time because next time my boys will have fun with you." he laughed. Leon walked into the room with a busted lip, a bloody nose and an eye that was becoming black and swollen. He limped into the room and looked at Letty making sure that she was ok. She got up and walked over to him, she placed an arm around his waist he placed his arm around her shoulder for support, they walked out of the building.
Once outside they began there journey back to the park they stayed at.
"He's giving us two weeks to pay for the merchandise, says that if we don't pay back that his asshole men will have fun with me." Leon groans, "Don't worry baby girl I wont let nothing happen to you." "I wont either." Jesse adds. Letty smiles and hugs both of them, "I love you guys." they smile back at her happy to see the loving side of Letty.
