Another chapter! Not much happening, but read it, anyway! :)
Next day, Gabby run towards the Freeman residence as Fae trailed behind her. Because of the complication she had with Huey, she planned on never coming back to Woodcrest. However, because of her sister's persistence and her father's anxiety, she was once again in front of the Freemans' door, afraid of a certain teenager with an afro would answer.
Gabby banged on the door, then turned to Fae. "Look, Fae. I think you should start talking to Huey again. You've been more depressed than usual because of him," she said. "I have nothing to discuss with him. We've already talked last time when he was being very intolerant," Fae responded.
Gabby banged on the door. "Man, you ain't even let the nigga explain himself. You hanging out with his sworn enemy. Why wouldn't he be pissed as hell?!" Gabby reasoned, "Shit, if you just tell the man you like him, this wouldn't happened and you go on with your life still chilling with him." Fae raised an eyebrow. "Who said I like Huey?" It was Gabby's turn to raised an eyebrow. "Who said I was talking about Huey?"
Fae narrowed her eyes. "Shut up." Gabby banged on the door for the third time. "All I'm saying is you and Huey have been at each other for a long ass time just to be friends. Don't let no dumb shit try to mess that up," Gabby explained. "Since when did you start giving advice?" Fae questioned. Gabby shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say? Lil G be packing with surprises!" she bragged.
Fae rolled her eyes as Gabby banged on the door, getting irritated. "Man, what the fuck?! How long does it take to get the damn door?! Ay, Young Reezy! Get yo' ass out here!" she called out, getting no answer. "Have you ever stop to think that maybe they're not home?" Fae asked, sarcastically. "Shut up! If he wasn't here, the least he could do was call me," Gabby said, looking through the window. "Just forget it, Gabby. They're not in. Let's just go home," Fae confirmed.
"You sure we can't look for them?" Gabby insisted. "They're not dead, Gabby. We'll see them tomorrow," Fae stated. Gabby sucked her teeth. "You just want to go back and hang out with that Cairo nigga," Gabby said, walking away. Fae scoffed as she followed her.
"Not likely. I'm just saying it wouldn't make sense if we suddenly look for them for any apparent reason. I'm sure they'll be home tomorrow."
Huey slowly opened his eyes, as he tried to make out what happened. He looked around an unfamiliar room, as he saw Granddad and Riley asleep while they were tied up in a chair. Just as he tried to move, he realized he was tied up as well. He struggled to break free, as he called out his family. "Granddad? Riley? Wake up." They slowly started to move upon hearing this command. Granddad groaned as Riley whispered, "Is it lunchtime yet?"
"What happened?" That's when Granddad looked down at the ropes that tied him. "What the hell?!" Hearing this outburst, Riley shot his eyes open, then looked around and realized what was happening. "Yo, man! What the fuck is going on?!" "We've been kidnapped."
Granddad and Riley looked at Huey as he continued. "This was all a set up just to get us here. This is one of Eddie's schemes." "That's ridiculous! He would never do that to us," Granddad insisted.
"Nah, the kid is right."
They all turned once they saw Eddie walking towards them. "Robert, my nigga. Good to see you finally wake up," he said. "What are you planning now?" Huey questioned. "Ah, straight to the point. I like that. Don't worry, everything will be explained soon enough. Just know, I ain't the only person doing all the work." Once he said that, Mr. Wuncler walked towards them and stand to the right of Eddie. "Robert Freedman," he responded, "Good to see you again." "Mr. Wuncler! Thank God you're here. You're not gonna let us stay like this, right?" Granddad asked.
"Sorry, Robert, but if I let you free, then it would ruin the whole plan," Mr. Wuncler said. "What plan?" Huey questioned some more.
"Jesus, the kid is so demanding." Arturo walked towards them and stand to the left of Eddie. "Who the hell are you?" Riley asked. "The name's Arturo, but call me Art-Walk," he introduced. Huey observed him before asking, "Are you some type of a mobster?" "Bada-bing! Give this kid a prize," Arturo ridiculed. "Look, Freemans. I like you guys. I really do, but I don't want you to be messing up our business," Eddie said. "What business? We don't know what you're talking about," Granddad reminded.
"All right, listen. Art-Walk, Pops, and myself are working together on a product," Eddie began. "What type of product?" Huey asked, a bit suspicious. "We're going to be selling precious items to the community," Mr. Wuncler said, "We've been thinking that we want to make the citizens of Woodcrest happy, so why not we give them something to change their life?" "Which is why they considered this with me, knowing I have what they want," Arturo added.
"And after further discussion, we come to the conclusion that once the sales increase, everything will work out for everyone!" Eddie concluded, as they all fake a smile. "Well, I don't think that's a bad idea," Granddad agreed. Riley nodded. "Y-Yeah. That's what's up," he said, nervously. Huey narrowed his eyes. "That would've been influential...if it wasn't illegal."
Everyone looked at him in shock as Eddie fake a laugh. "Why, I have no idea what you're-" "After years of knowing you and what you're capable of, I would say what you're doing is illegal...much less great as you claim it to be." Huey turned to Mr. Wuncler. "You're a rich realtor who done nothing but made my granddad do your bidding, whether it's right or wrong." He turned to Arturo. "I don't know what you've done in your past, but you're clearly an Italian gangster who knows what to do, when to do it, and how to do it." He turned to Eddie. "As for you, you've been fucking up our lives ever since you met us and treat us like your slaves. You would do anything for your money. So if you put all three together, you could clearly see that what you're doing cannot exist because you actually care for anybody. A foreign mobster, a rich, white male, and his son working together can only mean one thing: you made a diabolical plan to get even richer, no matter who gets hurt or not. Also, these precious items, you keep on referring to, are actually narcotics or, as people would say, drugs. This is all just a big plan to take down the lower and middle classes once again by ruining their lives. Also, how much population of white people ever get on drugs? Your main consumers would happen to be black people and you're going to fucked up the majority of them, because of their admiration they have for these type of products."
Eddie, Mr. Wuncler, and Arturo glared at him. Granddad laughed, nervously. "Will this be easier if I say I'm not related to him?" Eddie smirked. "You just a real smart motherfucker, ain't ya?" he asked Huey, "Too bad that's the main reason why we gotta kill ya. You know too much and you're just going to be in the way. Can't have that now, can we?" "Dammit, Huey! I knew one of these days, you gon' get us killed for being gay!" Riley complained. "But why, Mr. Wuncler? Why would you do this to us?" Granddad asked. "Don't take it personal, Robert...it's just business," Mr. Wuncler responded, "Let's bring out our lucky killers!"
Uncle Ruckus came out and laughed. "I never thought I live the day to see you darkies looking like animals that you are. Oh, yes. I've been wanting to take y'all black asses down ever since I met you niggas." That's when Riley looked up at the ceiling.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Oh shut up, boy! It's just Ruckus' fat ass. He ain't gon' do shit, but complain that he hates black people," Granddad stated, irritated to see Uncle Ruckus. "I had a feeling you would say that, so I added some of your good friends," Mr. Wuncler said.
That's when Stinkmeaner and The Hateocracy came out. "We're BAAACCKK, NYGGUUHHH!" That's when Granddad looked up at the ceiling.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A few days have passed, as Fae noticed the sudden disappearance of the Freeman family. At first, she didn't think much of it. Then, she thought they went on a trip. After that, she thought they were avoiding her, because of the argument between her and Huey.
Now after some time, she realized that something was not right, as well as her senses about these mysterious, immoral people were getting stronger. Not only that, a few people in Woodcrest had noticed their absences. No one knew where they have gone, which made Fae grew suspicious.
Once her and Gabby came back to the Freeman residence and saw that they were not in their house once again, she asked, "You ready?" Gabby nodded, as she pulled out her gun. She took her position, having her back facing the wall, waiting for the cue. Fae pulled out her gun and took a deep breath. After a moment of quietude, and a silent countdown, Fae kicked the door, causing some of the screws loose and the door opened.
Fae and Gabby quickly went inside the house and went into shooting position, looking around for anything unusual. After a moment of silence, Fae whispered to Gabby, "Check for anything upstairs." Gabby nodded and went upstairs, as Fae slowly walked around the house, checking if anyone was present.
"Huey! It's me, Fae! I just want to talk!" she called out, hoping for some type of response. That's when she noticed a small, silver ball. She slowly picked it up and inspected it. She looked at the ground, seeing more of the spheres, similar to the one she picked up. She got slightly worried as Gabby came downstairs.
"Man, there ain't nothing upstairs, Fae! Ain't none of the Freemans here," she said, "Hey, where they at?! They been gone a long time!"
Fae looked at the sphere in her hand, then turned towards Gabby.
"I'm not sure, but I think something happened to them."
It's going to get much better! :D
