Reckless

Frenchie 92

I guess I needed to thank my guardian angel because somehow I managed to survive with nothing more than a few cuts and bruises, still, I wouldn't feel safe until I knew where the fuck I was at. As I walked through the dark wooded area I tried to piece together what in the fuck had just happened, besides the obvious fact that someone had just tried to kill me, I really only had two questions... who and why? Renee was the obvious choice, too obvious and I didn't underestimate her like everyone else, I knew if Renee wanted me dead I'd be dead, these dudes were amateurs, most likely high outta their minds, which explained their horrible aim. Quentarius was another option, he seemed hellbent on causing as much chaos as possible and he had already tried killing Renee... it wouldn't surprise me if I were also a target on his list. As I continued my walk another option started to form in my head, one a little closer to home... Franklin and Fidel. The why was still unclear, but ever since they got here I've felt the shadow of death hovering over me and I knew I couldn't trust their claims of 'wanting a fresh start'. Still, I needed to get somewhere that I could really think, my car was beyond fucked and I knew the police would be stopping by at some point to investigate... I decided to call Uno to come pick me up, of course, he didn't answer so there was really only one option left.....

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE NIGGAS AT!?!?!?" Micah... Murda said as he found me crouching behind a library. I wasn't surprised he was up but I was kinda surprised that the answered considering are argument but the look in his eyes told me that he didn't care about any of that bullshyt from earlier, right now his only concern was me.

"I don't fuckin know... I don't even know where the fuck I left my car." I said shaking my head, thankfully it didn't take long to locate my car, the blood on the road told me that at least one of them was badly injured but with all the cops that were surrounding the scene told me that I could expect a visit at some point later today.

"What the fuck happened?" Murda asked and I told him everything that happened last night, the entire time he had both hands on the steering wheel, gripping it so tightly that I was convinced he was going to rip it out of the dashboard. "Well, it's pretty obvious that this was a hit job and we have to assume that it's going to happen again... I'm not about to sit around and wait... all I need is a name and...."

"Hol'up...." I said as my phone started to ring, it was Uno and as soon as I answered he was screaming into the phone. My first and only thought was about the safety of my sister, but Uno assured me that Chess was fine but someone had just tried to kill him... before I could get the details Santerìa called and told me the same thing just happened to him.

"Ayy some shyt just went down, I'm on my way back to the apartment so we can talk about it." Santerìa said before hanging up. I quickly called Uno back and told him to meet me back at my apartment, before turning to Murda who had already changed directions.

"Micah...." I started but he silenced me with a look, it didn't happen often but sometimes he could assert his dominance with a single look and this was definitely one of those times.

"I already know what you're about to say Frenchie and no... I'm not staying out of this so you might as well accept the fact that I'm not leaving your side." Murda said and I knew it wasn't worth the argument.

We got back to the apartment and the first thing I noticed was half a blunt on the table, then I noticed my bottle of Henny on the kitchen counter, and finally, I noticed the trail of clothes leading to the guestroom. I guess Deuce wasn't as tired as he let on and under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind, but I didn't know who he had here and I wasn't trying to discuss business with a stranger in the house. Fuck it, that little dude needed to relieve some stress, so I sent a text to Santerìa and Uno letting them know I would be up in Epic's penthouse. Speaking of Epic, I wanted to call and let him know what was going on but he had left me in charge and he hadn't been gone two hours and everything was already going to shyt.... so yeah, that could wait until I had a better idea of what was going on.
