My Thug Love

Chapter 16

Aaliyah POV

The cops rushed to us and cuffed us up. I looked over and saw how they were toughening the boys up.

"Don't hurt them!" I yelled. My cop tightened my cuffs causing a sharp pain to hit my wrist. They lead me to my car and pushed me in the back. I saw the news station and all. Damn my daddy gone show nuff see me now! My car pulled off into the thick crowd. I looked and saw all the people staring at me with pitty. I just sat there thinking about what I was gone do. We soon pulled up to the police station. To my surprise other police cars pulled up with the boys in it. I looked over at DJ as I was let out my car. His head was just leaning against the window. I walked in and they sat us in a waiting room together. It was a long silence.

"Mane Justin did you have to kill him?" James whined.

"He was gone kill us fool!" DJ yelled.

"Mane my daddy is gone be mad as hell when he find out." I said. It was another long silence.

"We need to just tell the truth." Victor said. Suddenly the door swung open. Five officers came in and took us by the arm. Shit was getting real now.

Victor POV

I sat in this interrogation looking room with about 10 cops surrounding me. I sat at a table across from a man that wore a suit. He looked like he could be a cop or some shit.

"Tell us the truth Victor! Did you and your friends kill these people?!" He scolded as he slammed his hands on the table. I just sat there calmly with a blank expression. He pulled out a orange folder.

"I am going to show you all the people that are dead that YOU are connected to." He said putting emphasis on the you. He opened the folder and lied out all the pictures. I saw the robber, the Arab man, and to my surprise I saw Monte and his boys. Now how the fuck they know we had anything to do with these niggas. Snitches!

"I don't know these people." I said scooting the pictures back to him. He got angry and threw the papers off the desk and walked out. I wasn't sweating this shit. I ain't did shit!

DJ POV

I sipped the bottle of water they supplied me with.

"So DJ...tell me what you know about Monte Lopez." The officer asked. Now how he know about Monte? I just sat there staring at him with an evil look.

"I don't even live in LA! How the fuck I'm supposed to know these clowns?!" I snapped. I had to make it seem like I didn't know Monte lived in Compton so I won't look guilty.

"Watch your mouth!" A cop standing by the door yelled.

"Mane we had nothing to do with those murders in that liquor store! The nigga in all black did it. We killed him out of self defense." I said telling the honest to god truth. The police looked at me and nodded.

James POV

I sat nervously as the cops whispered to each other.

"Okay James tell us what you know and don't bullshit us!" The officer scolded.

"I know I'm hungry as hell!" I said rubbing my stomach.

"James do you know that you and your friends are about to be charged with 2nd degree murder?! Now tell us the truth!" The cop yelled. See he ain't make it no better for himself.

"Mane we ain't did shit! We ain't even from LA. We kick it in Compton.' I said.

"Oh so I suppose you know these gentlemen." He said lying out pictures of Monte and his boys. I tried my best not to look surprised.

"Naw." I said leaning back in my chair. He stared at me a long time.

Justin POV

Mane they had a nigga in here like he was on first 48. Wasn't no way in hell I was gone snitch on my niggas.

"Why am I even here? We ain't kill them folks! You need to check the bastard that was wearing all black and a ski mask!" I snapped.

"Justin you are only making this hard on yourself." The officer said.

"Hard? Man that nigga was robbing that place! We killed him because he was gone kill us! Shit we was innocent bystanders!" I said loudly. He nodded his head and wrote in his book.

"Okay well who are they?" He said handing me pictures of Monte and his boys I looked at the pictures then up to him.

"I ain't never seen them before in my laugh." I said handing the pictures back to him. Why is this case even in LA? We live in Compton. The officer just laughed.

"I guess all of you are going to stick to that lie huh?" He laughed.

"Or maybe we are unfamiliar with them!" I challenged back.

Aaliyah POV

I sat there with my head on the table. I felt like I would throw up at any moment now.

"Aaliyah you are to daughter of the notorious Ice am I correct?" He said. I sat my head up and nodded.

"Would you mind telling me what you and your friend were doing in the store earlier today?" He asked kindly. Mane fuck all this stuff! I'm about to tell the truth about everything. I sighed and began talking.

"We were coming from Compton to just chill on Crenshaw blvd. But my friend Justin had to pee. He is the one with the baby face." I said trying to make him understand which one i was talking about.

"Okay continue." He said.

"So we went in and Justin went to the bathroom. Just a few minutes after he went in the robber came in and told all us to get down. So we all got down but not DJ. DJ is the light skinned one with the wavy hair cut." I said trying to make him know DJ. He nodded his head.

"I see." He said jotting down notes.

"So he was threatening DJ and the old Arab man told him don't shoot and the robber killed the Arab man. I guess DJ took it upon himself to try and take the gun from him. They were wrestling and wrestling for the gun. The robber was going to kill DJ but my other friend Justin came out the bathroom and killed him." I said. The officers just stared at me.

"Is that all?" He asked as he began writing in his tablet.

"Yes that's it." I said.

"So do you'll know these people?" He said handing me Monte and his boy's pictures.

"What? Why are we connected to these murders?" I asked curiously.

"Just tell us what you know about these boys because we got different answers from your friends." He said. Damn what them fools say?! Ain't nothing else I can do but tell the truth. I took a deep breath and began talking.

"The warlords were beefing with my daddy so they kidnapped me while he was in New York. They took me and they raped me. So my daddy and his nous came and killed them. That is the honest to god truth." I said letting a few tears fall as I thought about that day. The officer handed me a clinex.

"You did good to tell us the truth." He said getting up. I wonder what my daddy doing.

Ice POV

Mane these youngsters ain't in get and it's 10:30. I sat in the white room and popped on the tv.

"Breaking news! Today 5 teens have been arrested for two murders at a corner liquor store on Crenshaw. The teens go by the names of James, Victor, Justin, DJ, and Aaliyah. There will be more about this tomorrow." The news reporter said. My damn mouth dropped open. Shit bru! If it ain't one thing it's another!
