Chess 2: Checkmate

Chapter 4: Breakdown

Coming home that afternoon was both casual and crazy.

All I could do was swipe through my phone and look at my camera roll and see the last squad photo we took with him.

Of course it's unusual to leave with a friend and then three hours later you come home knowing they're dead.

But then again, anything's possible!

Audrey wasn't very surprised when Nicco died. She simply said,"he owed me a bag of gummy bears with cocaine mixed inside."

Omg. Coke bears. I love those, especially nicco's homemade drug snacks.

Nicco always cooked food to insert the drugs in so he wouldn't get caught. For example, he's cooking spaghetti and he puts a dose of crushed ecstasy in it to make it taste better (and happier).

Or he adds drugs into food already made. For example, he buys taki bags. He opens them and replaces some of the spicy tortilla chips with blunts.

Nicco was the best. Now who's gonna give us our orders?

Nicco has a little brother, but his brother doesn't know how good of a drug cook he was. If you're a girl looking for crazy love with smoking and drugs and hugs, Nicco would have been the perfect guy for you.

I try not to laugh when Marissa buys donuts and coffee (stereotypical cop thing). While buying coffee with Marissa, Audrey texted me. Dad is having a company party where they're gonna talk about the recent work I've done (nothing but I do get credit for the work I bossed around.)

I don't plan to wear anything formal. I only wear formal clothes to church.

Marissa and I went to 7/11 to buy some chips. They have this deal where you can buy two bags for two dollars. I only brought two dollars cuz bringing my whole wallet with fat wads of $100 everywhere is useless.

So I got Hot Cheeto fries and hot Cheetos. But here's where I get pissed, and I have a right to get pissed. They charged me $2.98, and that's not even tax! They didn't do the two for two deal. Those cheap little bitches.

"Isn't it 2 for 2?" I asked.

He explained it but I didn't understand what he said. It's either he said it gibberish or I'm just really dumb.

He kept pushing it at $2.98. I couldn't handle it.

"NO! ITS A TWO FOR TWO DEAL SO YOU ONLY CHARGE ME TWO DOLLARS YOU DUMBASS!"

He just kept saying its $2.98 cuz I didn't get the deal right. I didn't get the deal right? You're the one who doesn't even know how the deal works, asshole.

I wanted Marissa to point her gun at that pushy ass clerk, but apparently she's not in duty for that.

"I'm not paying $2.98 for these chips sir." I only paid two dollars.

He mumbled and mumbled.

I stepped back and said," You can sue me all you want. But even if you sue Jen Nakpil, you're the one who goes to jail. Or I'll even make you pay."

I glared at him while leaving. I hope a robber comes and holds up that 7/11. Karma. That'll be nice.

Alright, I'm gonna admit it. I have a jet black heart. I don't care about people. I only care about my family. I don't care what happens to people around me sometimes.

I remember A few days ago some homeless dude was asking me for money. I gave him $5. 3 minutes later, he approached me again and said he needed two more dollars. Be grateful with what you got man. Then I learned he wasn't homeless. After realizing, I officially declared that I don't give a damn about other people. If people ask me for money, it's hard to trust that they're telling the truth, so I'll simply say "sorry, I need it."
