The Get Down   

(Craig)

    We arrived at the store, but me and Q went across the street to the rice place. Q was in the mood for some but I wasn't. I was just going with her. I didn't really want anything. I just came because I ran along with the joke about riding in RL's car.

"Do you want anything?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine. What are you getting?"

"I'm getting a big box of shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon. You sure you don't want anything?"

"Yeah,"

"Okay,"

    As she was ordering, I noticed some guys looking at Jacque. Now I don't mind people looking, but these guys were looking at her like they were ready to eat from starving all day. I made sure I didn't leave her side.

"Hi, I'd like the shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon,"

"How many?"

"Four,"

"14.95,"

    I looked back to see if they were still looking but they were gone. I am now paranoid. I don't know if these guys are outside or if they actually left.

"You okay," Q asked me.

"Yeah I'm okay,"

"We should watch some movies later on. Or we can watch the new Proud Family. Haven't seen it yet,"

"That's cool," I said, looking around, holding her hand tightly.

"Craig, what's wrong?"

"I just saw these guys staring at you. But it wasn't a good stare. They were just here and now they're gone,"

"You know them?"

"No, but I have a weird feeling,"

"Shrimp fried rice and 4 crab rangoon!" the man called out.

    Jacque took her food and we walked to the door. I was still holding her hand for safety. We walked out of the place, and the same two guys walked up to us. He came up to us and just stared at us.

"This yo bitch?" he said.

"This is my girl," I said.

"Hm, you got a mighty fine one," He said, as he grabbed her hand. Q quickly snatched it away.

"I see you're tough," He said.

"Can I help you two?" I asked, holding Q in my arms.

"You can tell yo homeboy to come see us," The second guy said.

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb lil nigga," The first guy said, walking closer to us.

"I'm not. Who are ya talking about?"

    (Third person)

    They were quiet for a moment. All of a sudden, the second guy punched Craig in the nose, causing him to lose balance.

"Ahh!" Jacque screamed.

"Since we can't get to him, we gone get to you," he said, punching Craig in the jaw, causing him to fall to the ground.

"No!" Jacque screamed.

    A guy from the restaurant tried to help but the first guy knocked him out.

"Aye, I can take it from here," He said. "Grab her,"

"No! Don't touch me!" Jacque yelled.

    The first guy punched Craig five more times before kicking him on the side. Craig started to bleed out of his mouth. He covered his body as he continued to get blows. The second guy had Jacque in his grip and she had no other choice but to watch and cry.
