As soon as I left the house I made several phone calls to old friends. I hadn’t spoken to several of them since I left the hood but I had nowhere else to turn to. I need people who I could trust (slightly) to help me. Each phone call ended with the same question “Who’s is out to get you?” and my response was the same; a slight chuckle. Truth be told, several people wanted me. Over the years I had made several enemies but I thought with the fact that I had gone off the radar for a couple months would make them forget about me. But I guess it’s hard for them to forget some of the things I put them through.
“He fucking stole from me Reaper.” He shouted causing a couple guys to shudder in fear. You think with the amount of possession this guy had he wouldn’t notice a thing, but you’re wrong.
“How do you know it was him?”
“Who else would it be? Was it you?” I shook my head. He began to redirect the question to every person in the room.
“Then if it’s not them or you Reaper than its him. How dare he? It’s not even the fact that he stole a couple bills off me because that’s chicken change to me but it’s the principal. You can never steal from me and think I’ll never know about it no matter how small it was, it was mine and I want it back” I gritted his teeth and he slowly sank back into his armchair. I sighed. It was pretty obvious now what he wanted me to do.
“Go get my money, or his body” I nodded and pointed at a couple guys to follow me.

“Charlie where is it?” I sat on his sofa and placed my feet on top of his coffee table. The guys I had brought with me held him as I watch the blood slowly drip down from his face.
“Like I said before I know nothing”
“Did you think that once you join this game that people will respect you with a name such as that?” We all laughed. “I mean even your street name is a bloody joke”
“My name might be a joke, but when your mum was screaming it last night it wasn’t a joke” He chuckled as he stared directly into my eyes. I felt the anger bubble up inside of me. I didn’t care about the money no more. He had just disrespected me. This just turned from business to personal. I stood up and kicked him in his rib. The room echoed the sound of breaking ribs as I continuously kicked him. He wheezed as more blood poured out of his mouth.
“Please stop” he pleaded. I stepped back and watched how his body dropped onto the floor. We heard a keys rattling and soon the front door opened.
“Ey what the fuck is happening” A boy who looked no younger than 12 ran to his brother side. I couldn’t help but laugh as he tried to punch one of my boys. The simple kick that he received sent him flying to the other side of the room.
“Joe just leave”
“No”
“I have a better idea… why doesn’t he just watch how you die” I pulled out my gun and slowly traced it along my lips before placing a kiss on this.
“Strapz always knows how to hook me up with some amazing weapons, don’t you think?” I laughed once more before picking up a pillow and placing it infront of the gun. I could hear his brother crying already
“Shut up, I haven’t even done anything yet and you’re already bawling you know. Let me just give you a proper reason then.” I took off the safety and pulled the trigger. His body flew backwards. His brothers eyes widen in shock as he ran to his brother lifeless body. Tears ran down his face as he watched up pick up our stuff.
“You’ll pay for this you know” Everyone just started laughing.
“Well for when you are ready to get your revenge my name is Shauney also known as Reaper. You zimme” We all left as we walked out of the house.
I always knew my actions will catch up with me one day. Occassionally some actually have but others happened. I’ve made people watch their loved one die right in front of their eyes and only God knows if the people who took Strapz where waiting to do the same thing right in front of my eyes. Karma is a bitch and hopefully this time she wouldn’t bit back. My phone rang and l looked down at the caller ID
“I think we found where he is”
“You think or are you sure?”
“We’re sure. There is only one possible warehouse where Strapz described”
“I see you in 10” I quickly locked off the conversation and increased my speed. I couldn’t let no harm come to Junior because it I couldn’t manage the pain of losing him and having mum just lost her son.
