Overture - Book Two

02 - Escaping Pain

Chapter 2

The next day, Lemroan started to clean up Draven's dead body, Lemroan was very emotional as he was doing this, it gave him very sharp pains, the fact that he killed one of his best friends he used to hang out with all the time, and that Eli was the cause of it. This enraged Lemroan, and the sudden burst of rage fogged Lemroan's mind and so he went into Eli's room and he was gone. Eli had sneaked out of the hotel during the night, and was possibly in LA by now.

Lemroan was even more enraged than he already was, and so now he left the hotel, leaving Draven's dead body laying in the middle of the living room for anyone who walked in to see. Lemroan called a cab, to take him to the airport, and to fly him to New York. Lemroan had more friends in New York, that he hadn't contacted in a while, so he could at least have a fresh start with one of them.

While on the flight, he was very tired, and so now he closed his eyes, and in a flash, he was at JFK. The biggest airport of New York, and he took another cab to his friend Shaco. Shaco was living in a very poor slummy part of New York, and he lived there for a reason, to hide the fact he was a drug maker. Shaco cooked meth all the time, in his slummy bungalow, with walls ripped off, and the carpet stained with dirty colours.

Lemroan called Shaco to see if he was okay with Lemroan staying over at the Meth House. Shaco responded, and said yes. Lemroan arrived at Shaco's house and knocked on the door.

*DING DONG*

*Shaco opens the door*

Shaco takes a hit out of his blunt "How ya doin nigga, long time no see" "I'm doing good man, you still cookin that crystal?" asked Lemroan with deep curiosity. "Fuck yea man, it's in the basement, lemme show you"

Shaco escorts Lemroan to the basement where Shaco cooks the meth, as soon as Lemroan walks into the house, he immediately smells a weird stench, Lemroan doesn't do drugs, so he isn't used to the smell that the meth brings off. Lemroan walks into the basement, and the smell gets stronger, what else got stronger was the fact that this was a easy set up for the Loco Syndicate Gang. 

"Got em niggaz, come out" said Shaco with a sinister voice. "What the fuck is this, Shaco? Who the fuck are these people?" "They are my fucking gang, Darius fucking told me about what you did, Eli told Darius that you killed my nigga Draven, you sick fuck, I'm gonna have some fun with you boy"

Lemroan has been strapped to a chair, unable to move, Shaco pulls out multiple torture devices, and Lemroan has realized that he cannot trust anyone else, and he needs to become a solo roamer. If Lemroan manages to esacpe, he can start a new life and be able to work a regular job.

Shaco pulls out a liquid, and pours in on his crotch, it turns out to be a stinging acid, which burns deep through the skin, and Lemroan's penis is being burned to ash. Shaco replies this action with a sinister laugh, and during this, Lemroan takes the chance to move up with his chair, spinning around hoping the legs of the chair would de-mobilize Shaco and knock him to the ground, this in-fact does happen and Lemroan dives onto Lemroan with the leg of the chair, impaling him and eventually killing him. The Loco Syndicate members watched this happen and begin to charge at Lemroan, he realizes this, and as a last effort to survive, he spins around in a circle hoping it knocks them all down, the spinning around of the chair and the impacts rip the layers of duct tape off of Lemroan and he breaks free.

Lemroan begins to run upstairs and locks the door to the basement, Lemroan steals Shaco's car and drives to the Canals and Lemroan decides to sleep in Shaco's car.
