Chapter 1

    Friday, July 1st, 2016 - Saturday, July 2nd

I tighten my grip on the steering wheel as Tunnel Vision by Kodak Black starts to blast from my phone which is connected to my aux cord and with all four windows down in 95 degrees weather, I feel unstoppable. I tried going 150 miles per hour, but that's not the speed I would usually go for and it's hard to maintain that speed on a free highway. The guy to my three o'clock is my half brother, Dominic Tanner Hart. My dad left me when I was around six years old. I met his family on the day that I turned fifteen, he has a wife and three other sons named Tony Carter Hart who is now eighteen, Dominic Tanner Hart who is turning 21, and Leonardo Bryant Hart who is turning 22. I am exceptionally fond of all three of my half brothers, especially Tony. My dad and I grew close again, but I would always remember the pain that he has caused me. Even though, I'm extremely close with the Hart family and lived by that name for fourteen years of my life, I would never ever in my entire life go back to that lifestyle. I am Maya Penelope HUNTER! A fighter, a racer, the girl who's head over heels for a guy that she can't have, and one of the most wanted criminals in America. You see, the guy who I desperately love works for the FBI and through my connections with my best friend who also happens to be my "cousin", she told me that he got a promotion and now works along side with the boss who happens to be his uncle. I know it's a family business and all, but could a seventeen year old do that? I mean sure he takes online school, but still. As I reached my destination, Congratulations by Post Malone starts playing. I drove around once and saw someone took a perfect parking spot. I went around and around until I found a spot, so I wait patiently for the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 to get out and in the process, I admire its beauty. The parking spot is pretty far away from the entrance, well it is a spot. I step out of the car to pay for my parking spot. The cool night air curved my lips upwards as, I stopped when a BMW slowly walk in front of me as if every little rock is going to make it flip over, and even if the beauty's highlight game is on point, I can't make out the owner's face. I continue walking west until I see it. Three dollars per hour huh, in Manhattan is even worse so I guess I can't really complain. As a guy around his mid thirties pay for his parking ticket, I waited until he was out of sight. For a town to be called Flushing, it's quite expensive. I did what I had to do and found that Dominic is now using his own phone and blasts Drowning by A Boogie. "I'll wait for you here." The place that I'm really going is to the abandoned theater on Roosevelt Avenue, it's a place where I can be myself and a place where I smoke and get deep in my thoughts. After I get done smoking, Dominic and I was planning to eat at a Chinese restaurant called East. Dominic isn't a smoker, I mean he smokes once in a while, but he would sell it rather than smoke it and I'm not going to lie, he makes good money, ten thousand dollars a day for just making phone calls. I continue walking while jamming out to Both by Gucci Mane. I take in the scenery and smile to the people that would come my way, it's absolutely gorgeous with the light breeze that brushed against my skin, this day couldn't have gone any smoother. A few more minutes later, I'm just two blocks away from there and saw a couple of hot ass guys to my nine o'clock who looked like high school seniors. I was praying that my Adidas crop top, black shorts that made my ass pop, combat boots, and my black coach bag (that contains my wallet, Beretta 92FS handgun, Microtech Halo 5 V Tanto OTF Automatic Knife, and bud) would make the guys stare and it worked. I continue to walk to the place where I can let loose, there have been suspicious activities going on, but nothing I can't handle. The traffic light turned red and I made my way around the building. and started climbing it until I spot a broken window. When I pause the music that was blasting loudly, the room was completely silent, so silent that made my bones shiver in fear. I turn on the flash of my rose gold iPhone 6s Plus. After a few steps forward, I climbed the ladder that led me to the roof and it's not a good surprise. Fear begins to set in as a someone throws a OTF Stiletto Knife which is now stuck onto the ground a few centimeters away from my feet. I mean the last time I checked, it was 8:02pm so I couldn't see who was the dark shadowy figure who sat behind a three feet wall and threw the knife towards my direction. "No one is allowed up here." The owner of the voice barked. It sounds so familiar, but faint at the same time and what I did notice about this particular person is that its a he and the deep voice reflects the amount of power that he could contain and another thing that I notice when I came up here is that when I turned off my flash, there was a small light that makes the roof looking more eerie and the smell of the smoke belongs to packs of cigarettes. "You do your thing and I'll do mine." Then a sudden malicious sounding chuckle makes the music of the dead silence grew louder. "I know that voice anywhere and if it weren't for Riley, I would've put you behind bars for bringing marijuana." My heart begins to race at the recognition of my voice and I have no idea where you have been if you have never heard of Riley Matthews. Riley Matthews is the sweet innocent child no one dares to question, the child who got the brains and would make any guy fall for her in a blink of an eye, but she's also a healer who has no clue what she wanted to be when she grew up. "I'm letting you off with a warning, next time I see you, your pounds of marijuana won't be the only thing that's going to be cut out of your life." And with that, he inhaled the last smoke of the cigarette and probably threw it somewhere. Before I reach back for my phone, the door slams loudly making me jump just a bit. Realization hits me, I forgot my drink! As if on cue, my brother came to my rescue. "I knew you would forget something and I changed my mind. If I want my food to be worth eating, I might as well enjoy it while being high." He was about to say more, but stops himself. While he rolls our blunt, I start drinking the refreshing beverage and play Slippery by Migos. When he was done rolling it and lighting it, I was high by the fourth poll. Random thoughts starts to consume me, from thoughts about outer space to the secrets of the government. I don't feel anything other than happiness. When we were done, Bounce Back by Big Sean starts to replace the song before it which was Too Many Years by Kodak Black. [...] "You hear that?" By now we just got down from the ladder and I heard an obnoxious scream of total terror and we climb out as fast as we can. I had no idea how long we was sitting on the roof, but by now it's 12:11am. "So, we're heading East?" I only nod, my heart started beating at a faster rate than what I consider normal and my eyes would have shown fear from another point of view. At a sudden moment, we both burst out laughing like complete idiots. Some stare at us in total confusion while most mind their own business. The door was a bit heavy and as soon as we entered, the aroma flooded Mouthsville. We continue north, "a table for two please." The waitress looked very young, probably around her early twenties and looked extremely attractive, she followed us to the table and we quickly went over the menu that was already placed on the rough white table that awaits us. "Could we have the seafood special?" The waitress writes it down as Dominic asked for two cans of coke. "Maya, dad told me to remind you that there's going to be a drug delivery for one of our most influential clients. It's a family business and he is setting up a meeting next Friday." I seriously don't want to start a fight while my food is being cooked, plus I'm starving. There is no way that The French Vacuum Gang (aka FVG, aka our biggest rival) is not hearing all this and there's no doubt that they are going to stop us and with a few adjustments to it, they'll be calling it their own. They are the third most powerful gang in the world. I stare at Dominic once more seemingly not to notice a single thing, perhaps he just want to enjoy his meal. Soon enough the delicious scent reached my nose and the waitress put the plate to the family that was behind us, the pure torture is so unbearable. And eventually the food came to us. [...] 1:25am "Let's put more quarters in, the park near here has a lot of Pokémons to collect." Dominic looks at me a bit shocked and chuckles. "You still play that?" I looked at him a bit annoyed. "Just because we don't have Poke Stops around our neighborhood, it doesn't mean I could delete the app and besides, I have hope." He playfully rolls his eyes and calls out the same waitress that have brought us to the table. "Check please!" Dominic placed ten thousand dollars and tip her an extra five thousand dollars and as she widen her eyes at the amount of cash, she told him that it was only fifteen dollars. This is actually the first time, I hear her talk and it doesn't sound foreign. Dominic continues to flirt with her until she agreed, and in the process he got her name, Anastasia Lam and her number. "See, Michael when you're successful when you grow up, you get to have that amount of cash too." The three of us looked at the little boy who seems to admire the amount of cash that Anna is now holding. "It was a pleasure to meet you, but my brother and I have to go." She nodded while still smiling and sigh in awe of Dominic's appearance. I tug his arm signaling him stop walking, he sighs knowing what I want. "Lets go get your frozen yogurt." The buildings are connected along with other stores like the Bank of China, the supermarket, East, Dunkin Donuts, and Red Mango (my fave and the only frozen yogurt place I know). It seems like nobody's here except for the cashier who looks like he's in his college years. We continue to pick out what we want and I chose a median sized cup and gently pulled down a metal bar for Oreo flavored yogurt and did the same for the mango, we got the same amount of yogurt. My toppings consists of mini marshmallows, mini cookie dough, brownies and caramel syrup. Trust me, it might sound disgusting to you, but it actually taste like heaven. Dominic got the same thing I got. We weigh it on the scale and it came up to 20 dollars, this time he gave the exact amount of money.  We went back our parking spot, Dominic stays in the car while I pay us for more time. I'm already full, but it wouldn't hurt to eat more right? Between the jokes and eating our treat its already two in the morning. The laughter died down when Riley sends the news to me.

Riley Matthews: God's Eye gone, Maya 😔
