Leprechaun in the Hood: The Gangsta Version A B5 Story

Chapter 1: Breakfast conversation

It was Thursday, May 27th and Katalina Rodriguez was in the kitchen cooking cheesy scrambled eggs, cheesy grits, pancakes, and oatmeal for breakfast. Her father, Damien "Mack Daddy" Rodriguez, who's an ex-pimp, walked into the kitchen and Katalina cut the stove off. "Mornin', baby," said Damien and gave her a kiss on the head. They hugged each other. "Mornin', dad, the food's ready, so, grab yourself a plate," said Katalina and he did what she said. They sat down at the table in the kitchen and they were living in New York City. "So, have you talked to Carnell lately?" said Damien. "No, actually, I've been ignorin' him, and avoidin' him, ever since, our break up," said Katalina. "Well, the boy's been comin' by here every single day, and like always, you disappear like a ghost," said Damien. "Yeah, well, disappearin' is better than being around your ex," said Katalina. "It's okay to talk to your exes, Kat, but ignorin' them, and avoidin' them doesn't do you any good, it's just showin' them that you're still hurtin', now, I'll admit that Carnell went off the deep end with you, and he's a dick for doin' that, but he's still a good kid, and he deserves you just like you deserve him," said Damien. "Back in Compton, whenever I was born, mom didn't want me to be around you, she told me that you were a pimp, and there were certain places that I shouldn't go to or near, she kept me from you, and then, she told me that you were dead, somebody exploded your torso, a leprechaun or somethin', she hated seein' me wear somethin' gold," said Katalina. "She told you all of that?" said Damien. "Yeah, two weeks before she died," said Katalina. "You don't believe in leprechauns, do you?" said Damien. "Leprechauns, please, those things are just mythical creatures that somebody made up, and seein' a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, still mythical," said Katalina. "Well, Kat, somebody did explode my torso, and it wasn't no human being," said Damien. "Yeah, right," said Katalina. "I'm not kiddin', Kat, an evil leprechaun killed me," said Damien. "And lemme guess, you took somethin' valuable of his?" said Katalina. "Yeah, his gold," said Damien and Katalina started laughing. "You're funny, an evil leprechaun exploded half of your body because of his gold, because of you takin' his gold, that's just too much for me to even imagine," said Katalina. "I'm not playin' with you, Kat, I'm serious," said Damien and Tyisha Miller, one of Michelle's friends, was calling Michelle's cellphone. Michelle answered it and put it to her ear. "You're too funny, yeah?" said Katalina and calmed her laughter down. "Hey, Kat, what ya doin'?" said Tyisha. "Nothin', just chillin' with my dad," said Katalina. "Oh, how's he holdin' up?" said Tyisha. "Great, he's holdin' up great, he's healin' faster than a werewolf," said Katalina. "Did you hear about what happened to Father Mercer last night?" said Tyisha. "No, what happened to him?" said Katalina. "He was found dead two blocks away from the hospital, he was all clawed up everywhere, the claw marks that was all over his body was supernatural, it looked like somethin' supernatural killed him like a creature from the Underworld or somethin'," said Tyisha. "Okay, Tyisha, don't start with that supernatural, and superstitious shit, cause, the last time we found out that somebody died, you thought it was a hex or somethin'," said Katalina. "Oh, yeah, well, I might just be right about this one," said Tyisha. "Yeah, and we'll be worshippin' Simba in the Pride Lands," said Katalina. "Are you gonna hang out with us, today?" said Tyisha. "Of course, I am, just as long as, Carnell's not around," said Katalina. "Give him a break, Kat," said Tyisha. "Where're we goin'?" said Katalina. "To the basketball court, meet us there at 4:30p.m.," said Tyisha. "Okay, bye," said Katalina and they hung up. "What's goin' on?" said Damien. "Father Mercer died last night, he was found dead two blocks away from the hospital, he had claw marks all over his body, the claw marks were supernatural, and Tyisha thinks that it's some kinda supernatural creature from the Underworld that's killed him, and apparently, everybody else thinks so, too, includin' the cops, you think this is your leprechaun friend that did this to Mercer or had somethin' to do with this?" said Katalina looking at the newspaper, and then, at Damien. "Well, it's a possibility, can you get me my pain medicine, please?" said Damien. "Yeah, sure, (grabbed his bottle of pain medicine and poured two pills in his hand), (he popped them in his mouth, she put the bottle back up in the cabinet, and he drunk his orange juice to push the pills down his throat), do you know when you're supposed to take the stitches out?" said Katalina. "Yeah, later on, tonight," said Damien. "I'll help you out with'em, I'm gonna hang out with the others, today, but first, I've gotta go to work, see ya later, dad," said Katalina and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "See ya later, babe," said Damien and she went upstairs to her room. She changed into some more clothes and went to Java City. She works at Java City where they serve cocktails, shots, coffees, beers, teas, juices, sodas, punches, martinis, and smoothies.
