Hood Games

Chapter 23

Darrens POV

"Im about to dive in" I sang walkin out ma bathroom with my towel wrapped around my waist. Where a nigga sweat at. I went into ma walk in closet an pulled a dope sweatshirt off a hanger an grabbed some gray sweats. Alexis wanted to watch a movie tonight on the flatscreen in the movie room so there really aint a reason to get dressed up. I went all the way down the hall into the last room.

"Wat took you so long" Alexis asked gettin comfortable in one of the movie seats.

"I had to look fly fah my bae"

"Your such a player yo you got the movie"

"Fuck its downstairs be right back"

"I'll be here"

I went down stairs an looked around. Where that damn cd? Oh I think its in the cd player in the livin room. I went an got it than heard screaming.

"HELP ME PLEASE"

Da fuq was that. I walked out the living room an across the foyer to the front door. I heard someone scream on the other side of the door. I opened it an a body fell on my floor.

"What the-" I closed the door an put the locks on it. I looked down at the body an bent down an look at the face.

"Oh shit Stephanie can you hear me" I looked at her an saw blood runnin from her body on the floor.

"Oh my god ALEXIS" I screamed. I gave Stephanie some CPR but she still wasnt movin. I heard Alexis come down da stairs an I couldnt look up at her. All I cud do was stare at the blood on my hands.

"Yeah bae- omygod is that blood"

"Alexis I need you to go call Troy"

I looked down at Stephanie an felt her chest heave slower.

"Come on Steph you gotta breath" I started gettin water in my eyes.

"Steph you have to breath please I cant do it for you"

"Darren" Stephanies mouth opened alittle.

"Yes"

"I love you" She said than her chest went completly still. I couldnt hold it in an burst out in tears tryin to give her CPR.

"Stephanie please dont die comeon dont do this"

I gave her mouth to mouth checkin her pulse. Tears where runnin down my face an I couldnt see but I aint care. I jus want her to get up, to breath to do something.

"Stephanie im sorry im so sorry"

Alexis bent down next to me an tried to pull me away from her.

"Darren its okay"

"No its not im supposed to protect her look out for her I let her down. Im sorry Stephanie im-"

"Darren this isnt your fault"

"So why do I feel like it is"

"Look at me you did not kill her"

"When I find out who did im goin to jail"

Troys POV

It was quite ever since I got to Darrens house no body wanted to say anythin. The thought of how real this shit was rite now was jus to much to handle. Stephanie was dead.

"So what are we gonna do" Christina spoke up.

"We fight" Chris said.

"This aint jus buisness anymore this personal" Melissa looked around at us with blood shot eyes.

"Look we can take them guys the Kings aint gettin away with this" Chloe looked at me speakin her piece.

"There not" Charles shot at her.

I looked around at the people in the room. "Yo listen up" I said gettin up to stand in the front of the room. "The Kings got the money, connections an guns. So do we, an I say we go for it. One last fight between us an them face to face no body else. If you in than you in if you aint than you aint. Im not gonna beg you to its safer if you aint. So rite here rite now are you in or not"

"Im in" Eria raised her hand.

"Me too"

"Yeah lets do wat we do best"

"Here we go again count me in"

"Fah Stephanie put a yes fah me"

"Lets do it"

"You already kno"

"Where wud I be without yall im in"

"Got room fah one more" Nicki said smirkin up at me from the couch.

"Well damn I already counted you in" I smirked back.

"Count me in too Troy"

"Will do Alexis" I smiled. "Ok since we aint really gettin anywhere lets think fah a sec when did all this start happening"

"Well there was that time at the mall"

Nicki said looking over at Christina. "When we first met Falen there where two guys watching"

"Waddu mean" Eria leaned back into Chris.

"When we first got there I saw the same two boys starring at us. An it wasnt the staring that made me uncomfortable it was the way they starred"

"Wait wat did they look like" Raheem turned to face her.

"One had tattoos all over his arms an the other looked mixed"

"Wait I think I know who your talkin bout"

"You do" Chris asked leaning up.

"Yeah I saw the guy with tattoos at the pool party"

"That Falen invited us to" Christina finished putting it together.

"An I saw the mixed one there too. When I was looking for you he told me what door you where in" Nicki nodded at me.

"When yall was gettin shot at in my house an I was on da roof I looked across the street an saw tree people"

"Lemme guess Falen an da two boys"

"Yeah"

"Well we got farther in 10 minutes than we did in the past three weeks" I said goin over the new info in my head.

"So wat to do with it"

"Ask some of the book worms on the block who the leader of the Kings are an we'll go from there. Nicki an Alexis you gotta get started training" I looked at both of them an ran my hands down my face. Damn its late.

"Guys lets do this tomorrow aight"

"Sure"

"Alexis an Nicki meet me back here at 9 am ok" I walked over to Nicki an took her hand so I could take her home. Its gonna be a long day tomorrow.
