"Ain't this unfortunate for you, Tione?"
The dark-skinned didn't answer and Joe sent a punch straight into the man's gut, knocking the wind out of him for a bit.
"Cortlen ain't talkin' to himself, fuck nigga." Joe gritted his teeth at the man, watching as the boy laying on the ground was grinning while blood was leaking from his mouth.
Tione was tied up so he couldn't do anything to defend himself. A few days had passed after Johnathan's, Marie's, and Keenon's death, and the gang were proceeding with their other plans.
He was already badly bruised from the punches and kicks they were giving him, but boy were they making his death a slow and torturous one.
"I guess he ain't." he replied smartly and gained a punch to his face as a retaliation.
"You in no position to talk back, nigga." Dayvon rolled his eyes, not feeling bad for the man he used to be friends with.
Tione had brought this all onto himself and he was just paying the price for it. Karma had caught up with him so he was to blame for being so greedy.
His reasoning?
Money and status were what the boy aimed for. And of course, when people were going to grant him access to it easily, he was going to take it without a second thought.
But now here he was paying for it.
At least he thought he'll go out in a way that he would respect.
"Why did all you weird niggas team up together? Why was y'all targetin' all of us?" Cortlen asked once again, wanting to know the answer.
Well, the least Tione could do is give the man an honest answer before he died.
"Everybody's end goal was different. So I already knew the plan was goin' to flake out anyways." he started, "Kevin wanted to kidnap his wife and take her back to England. Sherhonda wanted Kentrell to take his position more seriously so she used Iyanna as a means to get more connections."
He continued, "And if that meant Shéyaa and Tyquian had to die, then so be it. Fredrick only wanted Tyquian but he lied about his real reason and used them so he could get the upper hand on Kentrell. And Johnathan was too in love with Shéyaa and only worked closely with Fredrick so they could get who they want and kill Kentrell in the end. The whole plan was finna' go to shít anyways."
It was silent amongst the group as they understood what the man had said.
At least he was truthful.
Then, Tione turned his attention toward Ben who was standing a few feet away from him, watching all of this go down with an expression he couldn't read. But right now, it looked like Ben was in his own thoughts, staring directly at the concrete flooring.
