SIXTEEN

Maurice

"Fuck! I don't know how we are going to get outta this shit," Angel says in frustration.

I was wondering and I was scared fa' the next possibility. I didn't want to get arrested and separated from Angel. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he wasn't thea' with me.

Angel begins to look around until his head perked up some. "Maurice, look to yo left, thea' is a boxcutter on the table that I see from hea'."

I followed his direction and looked to my left and noticed that thea' was in fact a box cutter blade on a table across from me that looks sharp. I perked up once I seen it.

Angel motioned his head to it. "Think you can get it?"

I nod my head. "I think I can."

I went to kick the table, but not too loud so they couldn't hear. I can't believe we got into this terrible situation. Na' we ova' hea' tryna escape from some crazy ass white people.

"Come on, you almost got it." The box cutter is at the edge of the table na'. "One mo' kick."

I kicked it once more and it fell. I used my feet to slide it back until it's underneath my butt. I shifted around until it's na' in my hand.

"Good, baby."

I begin to get all happy afta' hearing him call me that. I'm his baby?

I struggled to cut it but eventually got it off afta' a moment. Feeling relieved that I finally got out, I went behind Angel and began to cut his rope from off his wrist.

Once he was out, Angel begins to rub his wrist while wincing. "Why did they tie it so tight? Damn."

I dropped the box cutter on the floor and went to focus in on our surroundings. "How we gonna get outta this?"

"We try and sneak out without them noticing. Imma gone ahead and peek out and see if it's clear."

We walked up the stairs that lead up to the door and outta the basement. I was surprised to see that the door wasn't even locked. Angel peeked around a few times befo' he told me it was clear fa' us to go.

All we gotta do is get out of hea'-

"What are you doing up here?" That lady's voice can be heard behind us.

Angel and I both turned around to see her standing thea' with so much hatred on her face. Just when she was about to call fa' her husband, Angel quickly charged at her. She had that taser in her hand and was about to use it on him until he knocked it out of her hand, causing it to fall on the floor by my foot.

"Maurice, get it!" Angel says as he tried his hardest to keep her pinned to the wall, which she was fighting so hard to get out of.

Hurriedly, I bent down to pick it up. Angel noticed this and told me to tase her in the neck.

"What? I can't do-"

"Maurice! Fuck, do as I say!"

So I went ova' to them as he kept her pushed against the wall so I can tase her in the neck. Eventually, she stopped fighting and slid down to the ground as her back is against the wall. It was all calm fa' a minute until we heard the man.

"You little fuckers hurt my wife!" He looked between us both. He noticed the taser in my hand and was the first to get at me. I tried my best to fight him off the best I could as Angel tried to get him off me. "I'm killing the both of you!"

Angel just gave up and walked away, causing me to get worried. "Hold on!" It seems like he was gone forever as we both fought ova' the taser. The shit was so close to my face.
