Monday 29th October
Picture: Mayhem

Dillon's (Reaps) perspective

"What the FUCK FAM?!" "Yo CHILL!!"

A1 rests his shank against my cheek, piercing it slightly. He looks between Mayhem and I in disgust.

We just got back from cunch. As soon as we stepped in the bando, every man was onto us. Except a few that are tryna calm everyone down. We don't even know what's going on.

Apparently RB pulled up and bare people got stabbed. The one person that died happens to be A1's right hand, Dino.

Word got to us that things were popping off in ends, but we didn't think it was because of what we done. Seems like an overreaction if you ask me. But then again, it's RB. Everyone knows those guys have no limits. I don't care who they are though, push my buttons and I switch. They were getting touched whether they repped RB or Teletubbies for all I care.

I was expecting Smokez and them man to come find us directly though, not to come for everyone. But then again, Mayhem's Mum texted earlier saying she's had enough of his shit and has left his clothes outside, after some 'hood rats' ran in the yard looking for us last week. So, they did try to find us. Shit.

Usually the mandem would be quick to back it but everyone knows what RB are on. Last time we beefed them we lost 3 of our guys. No one ever beefs them and lives.

"Ain't nobody tryna beef RB, I ain't backing shit!" Patch says.

"Too late, these dickeads have already started a war, you got my day one merked. FOR WHAT?!" A1 shouts, still holding the knife to me. "You better fucking explain." He takes a few steps back, putting the knife down but still screwing.

I sigh. "Look, I'm sorry about Dino init. I got set up. Some yat got me and Mayhem in the room acting like she was on shit, then she screamed and called Smokez. It was madness after that. Donny almost crippled me. Next day I got my setup chick ready and pulled up to his boy's yard. Smokez was supposed to come outside but his boy started to clock what was going on. We just shot him instead, knowing it would still hurt Smokez. Then after that we went cunch. The setup chick left a note from us at the hospital so they would know it was us. It was supposed to say Reaps and Mayhem but the dumb bitch wrote S12."

A1 chuckles humourlessly. "So, let me get this straight... you got my boy merked... over a ting?"

He laughs like a mad man, looking between me and the mandem. We all look at him in confusion. He's really got a few screws missing.

SMACK.

He bangs me.

I immediately swing back and we start fighting, but the guys quickly break it up.

"ARE YOU DUMB?!" He shouts.

I spit blood out my mouth and don't respond. He's lucky I don't off him next, swinging on me like that. I'll low him coz he's grieving and I know what Dino meant to him. But next time he's getting my fucking nank.

"Either way this ain't just about you lot no more. This is everyone's beef now." LB replies.

He was there at the party with the others. I just didn't tell them what we did to their boy after. In my mind I thought that would be it. Don't know what I was thinking, when I get angry I make stupid decisions. The beef with Rushton had been controlled for a long time. We don't go Rushton, they don't come Ensham. But I just had to go to that party and fuck up everything.
