Love or Loyalty

Chapter 4

"Aaight, so dis what we gone do. Its a few niggas in here tryna plot against Kaino. We gotta take em out B." Bryan looked at his friend Alex in disbelief. "You got me out here killin niggas A? What the fuck part of the plan is this?" "B, you in this shit now, its too late. Fuck that." Alex said handing Bryan a 23rd generation glock .40 and a pair of leather gloves. Bryan took the gloves shaking is head. "Man, you know I got too much shit to lose. Dont get me fucked up A." "Shut yo ass up nigga sounding like yo police ass daddy, come on." Alex pulled his mask over his face stepping out the truck with 2 more guys. Bryan knew he was not made for this type of lifestyle but the money was good and quick. If his father found out what happen he would lose his shit. Alex kicked at the door, pointing the gun at the handful of men and women. "Oh my God!" A girl screamed. "Kill dat bitch B!" Bryan froze. "Now nigga!!" Within a split second he lifted the barrel and shot her. He saw a man charging towards him. "Aw fuck..." Bryan said shooting towards him. "Lets go, lets go nigga!!" Alex yelled. The man charging towards Bryan lay on the ground in a puddle of blood. Dead. He couldn't believe he just killed 2 innocent people. Bryan ran out and got in the truck.
     "Fuck happen, you froze. Thought we was gone lose you." Alex laughed with his friends in the back seat agreeing and laughing. Man, I just killed 2 people." "And you better not say shit....or you next." Alex said firmly. Bryan had been on a few runs with him and his boys. A few robberies, exchanges and set ups. But never any murders. Alex was trying to move up in rank and needed a few guys he could trust. He could trust Bryan. He wanted Bryan on his team. Even if that meant taking Bryan off the team that could change his life.

       "Daddy, im home!" Noelle yelled slamming the door behind her. She went to her dads office. "No way it was a child..." Henry was looking at the wall which was filled with maps, pictures, newspaper clips and mugshots. "Dad, what child? And you are supposed to be happy, remember? How you going to do that when you sitting up here stressing?" He ignored her. Being shunned like that hurt. As if it weren't hard enough losing one parent. Having the other so wrapped in something were almost as if she didn't have either.  Noelle went in her room and started to study. Blood was on her books. An eerie reminder of how  terrifying her day was. She decided to text Javier while studying. Something about him was so satisfying to her. It was years sense she had been with a man. But this one was fine as hell. He was a 'thug', So what did he want with her? She was not a beyonce or even a Ciara. But more so a Jasmine Sullivan or Chrisette Michelle.  Guys like him go after the girls with the mega butts and tiny waist. Like nicki minaj. Instead he wanted her. Plain Jane Noelle. Boring nursing student who has no life. She was sick of being safe. Being turned down for her size or because she was a 'good girl'. It was time to be wild and Javier seemed to be the perfect person to do it with.
    
          Bryan slammed the door behind him, rushed to his room and took a shower. He just killed someone. A life could never be brought back. Someones son and someones daughter. All for $7,000. Was it worth it? He didn't have a problem robbing or stealing or even drug trafficking. He was ok with money laundering. But murder? This was something he didn't think he was willing to do again. He was a college kid, foot ball star. Good grades, was very active within the community. Truth be told, no matter how popular he was, Kaila loved bad boys. He wanted a little street credibility, some sort of name in the hood. If he could win Kaila over, he would stop. The money was amazing but the guilt of killing someone was eating him away already. This was something he wished he could erase and he promised himself it would be the first and last time.
