Diamond Gang

Chapter 3: Love Tribulation

It was three o'clock in the morning, and the night was young. The moon took over the city, and it was pitch-black outside. No light was seen from houses and neither from the street lights. The only thing that shone were two long stripes covered with fire on the front of a tall, abandoned building located in Jasmine City. The two stripes were big enough for anybody in the city to see them. A Three Lord member was hanging from a broken window with one hand next to the two firing stripes. He was high up and saw the whole city, "Fire up the third stripe!" Lord de Milla yelled from below. The third stripe was already prepared to be lit; it was covered with gasoline. The Three Lord member got his fire thrower and blazed it at the stripe starting from the top. His eyes followed the fire going down. Once the third stripe got lit, he put his three fingers in the air to represent their empire and chanted.

Down at the bottom of the building, Marblelano and her boys put their three fingers up in the sky as well. They all started to scream, "Three Lord!" Lord puffed out the smoke from her cigar and smiled, "Let us be heard!" Lord screamed. Every guy started to chant louder. They all went inside the building and headed up the stairs to the roof. Some members smoked and drank while others chanted, "Aaaah!" in a deep demonic tone. The boys grabbed thick sticks and started to bang on the walls and stairs. As they went further up the building, the banging got louder and faster. The guys hung with one hand from the broken windows to get a whole view of Catalinas. The whole building was surrounded by members chanting, "Three Lord!" The loud banging sounded like a tribal tribute and drumline music coming from a jungle. Lord stood on the top of the building laughing with Marblelano.

"Where is Will?" Lord asked.

"In the house, he doesn't like it when we celebrate our accomplishments, and when we see which gang wants to compete with us, you know," she said. Marblelano stood with her arms crossed and stared at Catalinas. She hoped no other gang would fire their symbol to the air because if they did, they had to compete with them to see who would make more money. The gang who made more money by the end of the month, could buy land and be one step closer to being the only nation to dominate Dossroc. Later, the smoke from the fire started to go up the sky, covering the stars.

A few miles down south from the building, in Sosaville, a young man, El Coyote, came running down the hallway to go to his leader, Wolf Bloods. He entered Wolf Blood's room without knocking on the door and woke him up in a rush.

"Boss, boss, wake up, wake up!" he said. Wolf Bloods woke up confused and irritated.

"What the heck is going on? What you want? What's going on?" Wolf said.

"Boss, do you hear that?" El Coyote said. Without blinking, Wolf Bloods remained still and listened carefully while staring at the wall in front of him.

"Three Lord," he whispered to himself.

Wolf Bloods got out of his bed aggressively. He stood at six-eleven, he was buff, and his eyes were extraordinarily light blue with a highlighted yellow line between his pupils. He hurried to get his blue robe and headed out the door. He ran in the middle of the hallway struggling to put his robe on while El Coyote tried to catch up to him. Wolf Bloods knocked on every door in the hallway to wake up his Barbarics, "Get up, get up, get the gasoline and the flame thrower!" he screamed.

"Are you going to do what I think you're going to do?" El Coyote asked.

"We got to show them that we are not dead," Wolf said. All the guys sprinted out of their room; some had gas masks on for a costume look. Others just wore their black cargo shorts with no shirt on. They all ran up the stairs to the top of the building like an ant stampede. Once they reached the top, all the guys saw the whole view of Southern Catalinas. One Barbaric saw the three stripes on fire through binoculars. He pointed at it, "Look, Three Lord think they all about it!" he screamed. Two guys came climbing up the stairs while struggling to carry the bucket of gasoline. On the top of their building, there was a big billboard. The Barbarics climbed up the sign and with the help of others, they tried to lift the bucket up. On the billboard, there were fingers making the letter "B" with the thumb, pointing finger, and middle finger. The ring finger stayed up behind the "B" while the pinky finger stood next to the ring finger. Some Barbarics went up near the letters to cover it with gas all around. They made sure they did not miss a spot. Once all the guys finished covering the fingers with gasoline, they brought up the flame thrower.
