We slept fitfully, taking turns keeping watch.
When morning light peeked through the trees, Left-Eye was still pale but her wound had stopped bleeding.
After a meager breakfast of leftover protein bars from her pack, we continued our journey.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
We walked alongside train tracks, the rhythmic clacking of the rails strangely soothing despite our fraught situation.
My mind turned over our options - we couldn't keep running forever, but facing Drug Dealer head-on was suicide.
An idea began to take shape, though it was risky.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
That afternoon, we stumbled upon an abandoned boarding house.
Left-Eye checked each dusty room carefully before declaring it secure.
While she boarded up the windows, I rifled through an old desk and found a tattered phone book.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Flipping through, a familiar name caught my eye.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I showed it to Left-Eye excitedly.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
This could be our chance - if he's still around and willing to help us."
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
She studied the page thoughtfully. "
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
It's a long shot, but what other choice do we have?
Let's go pay an old friend a visit.
Taking paper out of the book with renewed purpose in our step,
We left the boarding house and turned towards the address scrawled in the book.
If anyone could help even the odds against Drug Dealer, it was him.
All we could do was trust that old loyalties still ran deep and pray he was willing to take a risk on us.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
We ran through the dark streets, the city lights flickering like distant stars.
Every shadow seemed to hide a threat, every sound a potential danger.
But with Left-Eye by my side, I felt a determination I'd never known before.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
We needed a place to regroup, somewhere safe where we could plan our next move.
My mind raced through our options.
There was only one person I could trust-an old friend who owed me a favor.
We're going to see Tupac, I said, leading Chilli through a maze of alleyways.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Who's Tupac? I asked, struggling to keep up but trusting Left-Eye's instincts.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
He's an old friend.
Runs a garage on the outskirts of town.
If anyone can help us, it's him, I replied, glancing back to make sure we weren't being followed.
We arrived at the garage, the neon sign flickering weakly in the night.
I knocked on the metal door, the sound echoing in the stillness.
After a moment, it creaked open, revealing Tupac's wary face.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
Left-Eye? What the hell are you doing here?
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Tupac asked, his eyes narrowing as he took in our disheveled appearances.
We need your help, Pac.
It's a long story, but we're in serious trouble, I said urgently.
Tupac looked between us and then nodded, stepping aside to let us in.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
Alright, get in here.
But you better explain everything.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Inside, the garage smelled of oil and metal.
Tools and car parts were scattered everywhere.
It felt oddly comforting, a stark contrast to the chaos we'd just escaped.
Thank you, I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
We found a spot to sit, and I began to explain everything
Drug Dealer, the syndicate, the double-cross, and how Chilli got caught up in it all.
Tupac listened intently, his expression growing more serious with every word.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
Damn, Left-Eye.
You really got yourself into some deep shit,
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Tupac said, shaking his head.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
But you're right to come here.
We'll figure something out.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Where do we start? I asked, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
First, we need to get you both off the grid,
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Tupac said thoughtfully.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
Drug Dealer's got eyes everywhere.
I've got a couple of safe houses, places he doesn't know about.
You can lay low there while we come up with a plan.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Thanks, Pac.
I owe you one, I said, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders.
𝑻𝑼𝑷𝑨𝑪 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑼 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑲𝑼𝑹
Yeah, you do.
But let's focus on keeping you alive first,
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Tupac replied, already moving to gather supplies.
The safe house was a small, secluded cabin in the woods, far from the prying eyes of the city.
It was simple but secure, and for the first time in days, I felt a glimmer of hope.
This place... it feels safe, I said, looking around.
But what's our next move?
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
We need to gather evidence against Drug Dealer, something that can bring him down for good, I replied.
And we need allies.
People who hate Drug Dealer as much as we do.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I'm with you, Left-Eye.
Whatever it takes, I said, my resolve hardening.
But why did you get involved with Drug Dealer in the first place?
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
It started as a way to make quick money.
But then I saw what he was really doing-hurting people, trafficking, drugs.
I tried to get out, but by then I was in too deep.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
We'll get through this, I said, placing a hand on her arm,Together.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Looking into her eyes, I felt a surge of determination,Yeah, Together.
I leaned in, our foreheads touching, a silent promise between us.
The plan over the next few days, we worked tirelessly, planning our next move.
Tupac provided us with everything we needed, from burner phones to fake IDs.
We reached out to old contacts, gathering intel and rallying support.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
One night, as we reviewed our plans, I turned to Left-Eye.
What if this doesn't work?
What if Drug Dealer finds us?
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Then we fight, I said, my voice steady.
We fight with everything we've got.
Because losing isn't it...
