The Menace Brothers

Thanks For The Ride

When I came to I was back in the bedroom. I had a minor headache and my where I was shot at had a bandage wrapped around it.

"Finally you're up."

I looked and saw Dre sitting in a chair looking at me with a gun in his hand. I sighed and let my feet dangled from the bed.

"If you are gonna kill me you should of done it when I was knocked out. It would of been easier that way." I said.

Dre chuckled. "I would think so to but I'm not gonna kill you. I'm supposed to but I brought you in this situation so I'm get you out of it." He said getting up.

"Come on. I'm a take you home." He said.

"But what about that Ricky nigga?" I asked.

"After you threw the knife Darnell patched him up and took him out the house to cool him down. He's gonna text me when they come back so we gotta hurry." He said.

I got up and put my hand on his shoulder for support. He started to walk me downstairs and through the front door.

"How did Ricky catch me?" I asked.

Dre chuckled. "There's a back door." He said calmly.

We walked to a car parked out front. I sat in the passenger seat and Darnell went in to the driver seat.

"Where you live?" He asked.

"I live in Rose Projects." I said.

"Dam really?" He asked starting the car.

"Yea it's all I could afford working the job I work. It's not much but it works feel me?" I asked.

"Yea I feel you. I know some people that live in those projects and over in that area." He said.

"Really?" I asked.

He nodded his head.

"I never seen you over there though." I said.

He chuckled. "I be over there just not when you be out I guess." He said.

I chuckled at that statement and he continued to drive in silence.

When we pulled out the regular niggas posted up in front of the projects were there.

"You need me to walk you inside?" He asked.

I chuckled. "No it's fine they ain't no threat." I said.

"Well if that's the case here you go." He said going in the backseat and pulling out a cake.

"It's apologize for what happened." He said.

I smiled and pulled him in for a hug. "Thank you Dre. This means a lot seriously." I said.

"No problem. Dam I don't even know your name." He said.

"It's Anaya but you could call me Ny." I said.

"Ight well your welcome Ny." He replied.

I got out his car and closed the door. I walked to the door to the project building.

"Where you been? You been gone for a while." One of them said.

"Tell me about it. The line to get this dam cake was long as hell." I said.

They started laughing and I went to the elevator. I took it to my floor and walked in to my apartment. I felt my pocket for my keys smd luckily it was there.

When I opened the door I saw my phone sitting on the table.

"Bullshit." I said to myself.

I closed my door and sighed. I checked my Phone and saw 1 messages and 1 missed called from my co worker asking if I was coming in today.
