My Brothers

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Christina stood leaning against the car with her brothers, waiting for the store manager to open the store. Christina glanced at the store and shivered, Bobby noticed Christina's shivering and put an arm around her, trying to give her warmth.

"You cold?" Bobby asked in concern. rubbing his arms up and down Christina's arms. Christina nodded and smiled up at him. It wasn't the cold that made her shiver, it was this place, this store. The store gave her the wiggins and she wanted to stay as far away from this place as possible.

"I'm fine" Christina sighed then looked at him again "I just want to get this over with." Bobby frowned and was about to say something when the store manger came walking up the steps to open his store.

"Excuse me!" Bobby called out, walking to him. The store keeper paused, his hands frozen holding the keys above the lock. He turned to Bobby looking a little bit scared, like he was afraid that we were going to jump him.

"Can I help you?" The store keeper asked nervously. Looking between Bobby and the others.

"Yea, I'm Bobby Mercer. Evelyn Mercer was our mother." Bobby said, nodding slightly behind him to his brothers and sister. The store keeper looked relaxed, now that he knew that they weren't going to hurt him. He nodded and said to follow him as he opened up the door so Bobby could go in.

Christina hesitated for a second then shook her head walked through the door. Ready to relive her nightmare once again.

Christina stood next to Jack and Jerry, as Angel and Bobby stood more to the front. They were watching the video tape of their mother's death. Christina's eyes started to get watery as she watched the thugs kill Mark. She stood transfixed, as she watched them slowly making their way to her Mom and her. Christina closed her eyes, tears running silently down her cheeks as they raised their guns to her mother.

I was wrong. Christina thought looking down I was wrong. I thought I could handle this, but I was wrong." With that thought in mind Christina fled out of the store, just as Christina screamed in the video and her mother's body hits the ground.

Bobby's fist tighten in anger as he saw the thug kill his mother and then grab his sister. Bobby was angry before for what was done to his mother, but now he was seeing red for what they did to his sister. Christina was his little sister and she meant the world to him, and if anyone tried to hurt her then they would have him to deal with. Nobody, NO ONE, hurts his sister. His rage just doubled as the thug pushed his sister into the mirror,and she slowly slid down the wall. By the time that the tape was over Bobby and well as his other brothers were shaking with anger. They were gonna go down for what was done to their mother, and their little sister.

Christina leaned against the wall of the store, trying to control her tears as they make a path down her cheeks. "Suck it up Christina! Your a Mercer damn it!" Christina scolded herself. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face, just when her brothers marched (yes marched) out of the store, Bobby with anger and determination. She ran up to them, matching their stride.

"There was no damn gang hold up! It was a fucking execution!" Bobby told them angrily, taking long strides towards the high school across the street. "They set mom up. They set her up!" and with that he ran to the high school, his siblings following him.

"What's the plan Bobby?" Angel asked, looking around the packed benches.

"We're winging it." Bobby told them.
