Forbidden Love: A Gangster's Secret

Kai's perspective

While lying in bed I stare at the ceiling and sigh. The room is silent, the only sounds being Hana's low breathing and the distant hum of the air conditioning. I flip my head towards her. She looks so peaceful and cute while sleeping.

Admiring her definitely takes my mind off the punch I received from Jerry, moments ago. To be honest I did deserve that one. Jerry has got to be one of the most loyal men I have in this gang. Not only that but he looks out for me as a friend too.

I remember when The Black Lotus started, all the local gangs tried to test us. One night I woke up tied to a chair with gunshots plastered on both my legs. I was being held hostage by some thugs, they were requesting a million dollars to be transferred right away to them. The room was pitch dark but a large white TV screen recorded me. I could make out in the dark, five men, one of them armed and pointing a white rifle at my head.

One of the thugs jerks his head closer to mine and spits out, "Well look what we have here boys. He thought he could be a gangster on our block huh?"

I receive two heavy punches to the gut while I struggle in the seat I've been placed in, to get out.

Once I notice my legs are too numb to move I shout, " Let me go you dumbasses, you ain't got nothing on me, I'll kill all of you!"

"Nagh nigga I ain't letting you go until yo trashy gang gives us our dough and if you keep being a smart ass I'll blow your brains out right here right now," The armed one shouts while hitting my head with the rifle.

I'm assuming he's black though I can't tell in this darkness. Now I'm not racist, you know me I love black people, you give me some soul food and I might marry you. And I know Jerry and Tom are literally black, but if I'm going to die, I might as well die a dick.

"You get your filthy black hands off me!" I shout at the top of my lungs.

He violently points the gun again at my head his finger on the trigger. He then responds," Why you little...."

As he is about to shoot, a large explosion blows the door entrance at a nearby wall, revealing the clear blue sky. To my surprise, I see Jerry and Tom. I smile as I see them run into the base, Jerry hitting a clear headshot at the armed man.

"Why you motherfuckers!" One of the dudes says while all of them rush towards Jerry and Tom.

Tom hits them with the cleanest juke and rushes to my side to release me from the chair.

While untying me Tom says, " What the hell happened Boss! How did you get kidnapped?"

I respond, "Man I don't even know. I just woke up here."

"We have to get a base or something because this is just ridiculous," Tom says, removing the last strip of rope from me. He then leans my arm around his shoulder, now standing up, as I'm still not able to walk from the gun wounds.

I shrug and shake my head. I look at Jerry and I'm bewildered by what I'm seeing him do to the thugs.

"Damn! Jerry is going crazy on them and it's a 4v1!" I announce.

"UMPH!" A loud thud echoes in the room as one of the thugs tumbles over, after receiving a heavy right hook to the mouth from Jerry.

He then shoots another in the leg, blood gushing out over the floor as he screams in pain. His friend quickly rushes towards Jerry from behind, a big dude almost half his size. However, Jerry elbows him, then grabs his arm swiftly dislocating his shoulder while sliding to his side. In response, the thug groans in agony as he falls on one knee. Jerry grabs him kneeing him in the face, knocking him out cold. A few of his bloody teeth land on the floor with a plop.
