Lani,

"This nigga had enough balls to have his nigga pay a visit at my crib and shit, so we gotta teach his ass a lesson. August obviously think we bout to play hide and seek with his ass. Not gonna happen." Chris said as I spun around in his chair. Honestly I didn't wanna listen to him talk about illegal shit.

"So what you got in mind?" Ty asked but Chris stayed silent.

"Ion know yet. Y'all ain't never tell me where his mama live. Or his sister."

"We don't know our damn selves." So unimportant nigga said and Chris sighed.

"Well y'all need to find out. Like I said, I wanna know everything about his ass. Half of y'all can be keeping an out on him while the other half find out all the information you can." Chris said standing next to me.

"Just go talk to him. See what he wants." I suggested and everybody in this bitch laughed at me.

"That's not how it works baby girl." Chris said shaking his head. I think its a good idea but OK no one listens to the girl.

"Whatever, one day y'all go get hurt. Chris your arm." I said reminding him of his arm I just helped treat.

"That's just a little bullet wound, calm down."

"You say that now." He fixed his mouth to say something but all of a sudden you hear girls and shit screaming from the outside of his office and the sounds of guns filled the warehouse.

Chris and everyone else hopped up each pulling out a gun or more. They all left out the room except Chris.

"Aye stay right here. Imma be back." He said but I shook my head.

"No you can't leave me in here." He grabbed my hand and I followed him out to the front of the warehouse. We crouched down behind a wall and occasionally he would pop up and shoot. This is some scary shit I don't understand how he does this for a living.

"Chris. Get me out of here!" I yelled and next thing I knew his friend mijo came over next to me. Chris left leaving me with this nigga.

"Here. Just shoot." He said giving me a gun. I stared at it for a long time. What the fuck am I supposed to do with it. He winked at me then left off somewhere. Bullets were still flying but once I saw Chris get shot AGAIN I got upset and just got shot. If you were on Chris team and I shot you oh well.

"Ight. Stop shooting." Ty yelled as one of my bullets hit some nigga in the shin. I stopped shooting and dropped the gun. I don't know what the fuck just came over me. Chris wasn't even the one who had gotten shot and why would I care if Chris got shot?

"Who gave her ass a gun?!" Chris said looking around the room. Honestly I didn't know whether to be embarrassed or happy. I did shoot about two people. Everyone stayed quiet and looked towards mijo.

"Yea I gave her the gun. She needed to live just like us." I smiled.

"Someone cares. He wasn't gonna leave me alone in a room...CHRIS." I said smiling still. Chris chuckled.

"I was tryna help yo short ass out." I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Whatever I killed one if them. Oh my god I killed a human!" I chest started heaving and I felt like I was gonna explode. Just a few seconds ago I was happy about killing a nigga. I'm going to hell.

Everyone looked at me like I was dumb. I can't help it, I just killed someone. They taking my ass to jail.

"See what the fuck you did mijo!" Chris semi yelled.

"I'm going to jail. I gotta turn myself in." Chris head snapped in my direction so damn fast.

"Lani sit yo ass down. Matter of fact let's go, y'all get this clean." He said walking out the warehouse. I followed him walking past the guys I killed. I'm a murderer.....
