VICIOUS CYCLE

XXII

The following day, it is in the afternoon. Critical and Starr were having a stroll in the park. Starr witnesses some young kids are playing on the swings. Starr couldn’t help but smile.

“Aww…how cute!” she gleamed “Kids can be such a joy, I swear”

“Yeah…When they’re in between the toddler and the teenager phase” Critical stated “Some kids are demons. Not all, but some are just born bad. Look at me, I’m sounding like my bitter uncle”

Starr and Critical laughed as they walked. The couple then approached a bench and sat on it. Critical took a deep breath.

“Man, it’s been one roller coaster ride with us” Critical declared “I just want to be with you without all the hassle, you know?”

“Trust, it’s frustrating” Starr replied “Critic, I’m scared”

“Babes… why is that?” Critical asked in a concerned tone “Has someone threatened you or something?”

“No, not at all, but I found something out” Starr declared

“Baby, please don’t keep me in suspense” Critical replied

“That fucking bitch, Ice. I’ve had to try and stay clear of Wavy. I’m actually at my cousin’s because I’m too shook” Critical looked increasingly worried “She grassed us up. Wavy know about me and you”

Critical’s eyes ballooned in shock, as his heart begun to pace. He begun to mildly shiver

“Oh my days…No, babes please tell me this ain’t real”

“It’s all I could think about” Starr declared “Why do you think I haven’t been myself?”

“My brother will kill me. He’s gonna kill me” Critical stuttered “The guy is evil. I know I can’t say that about my brother, but the truth is the truth. All the power has gone straight to his head, and if I tell you half the bullshit he’s done since he became the head of the Dons…you’ll run a mile. I’m not gassed up, it’s the truth”

“What’s one of the worst things he’s done? I swear on my life I will never say a word” Starr confidently stated

“Your life is dear to me, still. Alright, there is this guy in Dons known as Slash. He had a tribal mark on his face, that’s why he got the name. My brother gave him some money to try and woo some girl that my brother was going out with who cheated on him. My brother wanted Slash to bring her to a place where he could attack her and leave her for dead”

“Fucking hell” Starr replied in a shocked manner “What happened next?”

“My brother gave Slash about £900. Slash’s grandma needed urgent medication as her pace maker went haywire. He had to use most of the money to replace his grandma’s pace maker. I know, that’s not ‘gangsta’ or ‘hard’ for a guy to care about his grandma and be in a gang, right? Well fuck whoever says that shit. Anyway, my brother found this out and you know what the bastard did? He hung Slash from a tree with his hands tied on a tree branch and he was levitating. My brother plucked out three of Slash’s teeth as he felt he was ‘disrespected’ and beat him up”

“OH MY WORD…That’s fucked up. What happened to the guy? Slash?” Starr asked in an anxious manner

“He’s in bin. He’s in jail for attempted arson” Critical declared “He tried to burn my brother alive when he was visiting our uncle”
