DRUG MONEY

Payback

The first time Amaru had seen his father shoot a man when he gotten man mad over losing a game of Spades. 

He'd put the apartment money on the line and was certain that he would win. Amaru couldn't remember his age but he knew that he wasnt old enough 2 be sneaking out of bed at the time. So he watched the card game with his head sticking out of his room. When his father lost the $, his father was being a sore loser the kinds that Amaru didn't like 2 make friends with at school. He crept out of his room 2 listen closer. "Wait a minute nigga. U cheated!" his father was getting loud and bawling with the man who won. '' keep ur panties on. Ur acting like a bitch cause u lost'' the man said. 

Amaru laughed slightly so he wouldn't intrude the conversation. If he had been more aware of who his father was. He would've laughed so hard that his father would've forgotten about his controversy and would've had a few chuckles with Amaru and the man. But being the naïve kid he was, he didn't know what dangers the man was n. His father took out a .45 revolver and kept shooting the man in the chest until his body sprung on the floor. Amaru was wide eyed. His jaw dropped open as he gazed at the lifeless man that was only a few feet 2 where he stood. His face was hot 4 some reason. Very hot. Like the dessert. Amaru was deserted. He didn't know his father was anymore. At the moment he realized 2 things about his father. 1. He couldn't ever look at his father the same. 2. If his father killed 1ce he could do it again.

Amaru stared out the window of whispering 2 himself . It was raining so he doubted anyone would be out at the time. He tapped his foot 2 the rhythm of the Tupac ''changes'' song that was blasting n Terrance's car. Terrance was n the back seat of the car watching as the rain poured. Bobby was impatient. Muttering curses under his breath about the fact that he'd been driving 4 nearly 2 hours and still couldn't find the thugs. But luckily, on the last turn Bobby made. The boys n the car could hear loud thugs talking. They were under the roof of an old shack that broken down years ago. They were smoking and drinking as usual. Amaru and Terrance cocked their guns. Bobby began 2 drive slower. Terrance and Amaru lowered their windows. Keshaun and his friends squinted 2 see who it was" Who the fuck are u?'' he asked 2 the dark faces. One of his friends was getting ready 2 say something but bullets were already beginning 2 fly. The rounds shot n the air like fireworks n the 4th of July. The shots just kept coming and coming. Keshaun reached 4 his gun but it was already 2 late. His body flung up n the sky as the bullet hit his chest. Bobby drove away when the boys ran out of bullets. Terrance was breathing hard but Amaru was used 2 guns and murder after seeing his father do it plenty of times. His face got hot just as it did before and it burning more than ever now.
