There's Nobody Like You (Parts 1 & 2)

Chapter XXIV

** the next day **
** Ian's POV **

My dad, Craig and I was back at the warehouse.

"What we gone do?" Clyde asked my dad.

"Get some more information, of course." He replied nonchalantly.

"Why ain't this nigga dead yet?" I asked.

"Cause he has some valuable information that we need." My dad replied.

"Now let's go." He added.

We all got out of the truck and went inside.

"WAKE UP!" Clyde yelled as he turned on the light.

Daniel immediately opened his eyes and looked at us. He face was still swollen severely and it seems like his cuts were infected. I just know damn well ain't feeling sympathy for this lil nigga.

"You have some information we need remember?" My dad asked.

"Get to talking now lil nigga." Clyde added.

"Who sent you to my house?" I asked.

"Bruh ain't pull the trigger. I just dropped her off there. I was trying to get her home safely and silently. Then Busta pulled up and let his fie rip. I immediately sped off. I been trying to lay low since then. Dude said he was gone kill my family; they all I got!" He explained while grabbing his eye.

"So you ain't shoot my momma? You was helping her?" I asked confused.

"Exactly, but I knew you wasn't tryna hear that a few days ago." Daniel added.

"FUCK!" My dad screamed as he rushed to the warehouse's exit.

"Yo Clyde, what's up?" Craig asked.

"I know this nigga and he still out there! Let's ride." He yelled back.

"Ian take the car in the back and get Daniel to the hospital now!" He shouted.

I leaned down and broke the chain he was attached to. Daniel's legs were wobbly as he limped with me supporting him.

"Bruh, I can't believe this." I said as we headed to the back.

We got into the car and I searched for the closest hospital. The hospital was thirty minutes away but I was determined to get him there in ten.

"I thought I was dead dawg." Daniel said while breaking the silence.

"Your ass almost was. I don't usually say this, but my bad bruh." I apologized.

"Don't apologize to me nigga. That was ya momma; I woulda did the same thing if I was in that situation. We cool?" He asked.

"Yeah bro, we cool." I replied while pulling into the emergency area.

Nurses rushed and got Daniel out of the car and took him to the ER. I followed behind them. After about ten minutes I was able to go back and see him.

"How you feeling dawg?" I asked.

"I'm cool. Them pain meds doing wonders." He replied jokingly.

After his face got cleaned up; this nigga looked familiar. I know this dude from somewhere.

"Bro?" Daniel asked breaking my thought.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Aye, you know what." He asked.

"I know you. Ian. Back in grade school." He added.

"My nigga?!" I yelled.

"Dawg, how the fuck you get wrapped up into this shit?" I asked.

"Busta." He relied bluntly.

I cant believe I almost beat this dude to death for nothing. I know my dad and Craig gone handle this Busta nigga though.

"When you get discharged, you coming back with us." I said.

"You sure bro?" He asked.

"Yeah, my peoples cool. You'll just have some explaining to do." I added.

"That's cool." He replied before dosing off.

I walked out the hospital and headed towards the car. When I took my phone out of my pocket, I had four missed calls from girl named Arie. What the fuck she calling me for?

I clicked her name and called her back.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Yo, what the fuck you want?" I asked sounding agitated.

"Ian, why you been ignoring me! You got a new bitch now? I seen y'all bummy asses last night downtown." She argued through the phone.

I looked at my phone making sure I was hearing shit right. I quickly hung up my phone and began walking back inside. This girl just don't understand how hard it is for me to refrain from disrespecting her. My dad's number one rule was to respect women.

As I was walking into the hospital, I seen Daniel walking out the ER.

"Where you headed?" I asked while stopping by the snack machine.

"Im out this bitch." He said while walking outside the double doors.

This nigga looked ridiculous in that damn hospital gown. I couldn't let ole' dude slide in my car with that on.

"Yo, hold up." I said.

I ran back to the car and pulled out an old wife beater and some cargos. I think they'll fit him.

"Put these on." I demanded while handing him the clothes.

"Thanks G." He replied while walking into the men's restroom.

While I was waiting on Daniel, Marley shot me a text. After reading the first few lines. I already knew that I was in some deep shit. Too much shit happening at once!
