Streets Not Safe

11.

      A few days later Apollo was here trying to make it up to Antz who was in shit already with Manuel, they narrowed it down and knew it was him who gave Casmir and Seriaha the address. But now Antz had lost one of his guns- his favorite one. He wanted it back- Apollo couldn't tell him where it was because he knew that would cause tension between Osyris and Antz. He had just came from class and was trying to stop Antz from being mad at him- it's been over three days honestly he thought he would get over it by now. He didn't. Antz was in charge of watching the traps cameras and making sure he collected some money from the runners today so it was easy for Apollo to plead his case. "I said I'm sorry, fuck else you want me to say?" Casmir asked. He couldn't get the gun back even if he tried because Osyris and Manuel where on another ghetto adventure.

"I want my shit back, you know how many bodies I got on that gun?"

"I didn't loose it loose it"

"So where is it?"

"Shit as good as gone"

  "Apollo" Antz started and Casmir just looked away. "Don't you got a sibling to pick up? Something?"

"Osryis got your shit" Apollo answered and Antz sucked his teeth. He wasn't getting it back. "Imma try and get it back when they get back I promise" he added and Antz just waved him off knowing that he wasn't going to give it back. Everyone in the trap could see something was going on- but nobody knew what exactly. The last time they spoke of course they were arguing how could he not argue with Osyris.

4 days earlier.

     Apollo typed away on his phone trying to do some makeup work, he was missing a whole day of school and got nothing to show from it. He was in a car back with Osyris and Seriaha had Manuel driving her back. It was early and Osyris said nothing for the 30 minutes they've been in the car. He  drove  with one hand on the steering wheel the other resting under his chin as he looked at the road. He was plotting. The two and their surprise visit last night put them behind. He had to find a way to stay on schedule. Although he was deep in thought he was still aware of the man sitting next to him now staring at him. He noticed when he stopped typing to think about what to type next, when he would look out the window and rub his eyes probably because  he didn't get enough sleep the night before. He saw it all.

  "What?" Osyris finally asked and Apollo just looked at him, he blinked for a bit then made a face, Osyris should've just shut up because he knew the face came with something smart to say.

  "I didn't say your name but since I got your attention" he started and Osyris rolled his eyes "my shit you took" the warm chuckle that Osyris let out only made Apollo smile. Now wasn't the time.

"Thought your man was coming to get it?" He questioned and Apollo side eyed him. "He can come collected it from me"

"That's mad extra- you get out of jail and start being dramatic"  Apollo complained and Osyris didn't respond he just went back to driving in silence which pissed Apollo off because he felt ignored. A part of him wondered why he let Osyris get him so upset most days, Maybe it was because he acted like he wasn't afraid of anything, he wasn't embarrassed he was just living and everyone was on the side lines- not to say he was a bad guy, it's just his way or the highway and Casmir was always gonna pick the highway. "Are we almost there?"

   "No, now next time I tell you stay home listen"

  "I think somewhere in that big ass head of yours, you really think I'm one of your little hoes" when Osyris didn't respond Apollo wasted no time mushing his face even though they were driving he didn't care- what Osyris wasn't about to do was agree with that.
