I stood still as his slowly walked away from me. Then he stopped and turned around me
“Oh by the way tell Strapz, I don’t need him no more. I just want you Reaper” He carried on walking till he could no longer been seen. Saying I was shocked would not even describe how I felt. I knew he was ruthless, but for some reason I believed he would never do this to me. My phone vibrated bringing me back down to Earth. I ignored the constant vibration in my pocket and walked to anyway my feet could walk to. The more I walked, the more I felt more emotions. The anger that was raging through my body was emotional. My fist clenched as I walked further down the road. My hoody wasn’t over my head so people could see my face. They could see the pure anger and quickly crossed the road as I approached them
I stood and watched him walk away from me then he stopped and turned to me. I walked into the shop looking to buy a drink or anything just to take my mind away from my thoughts.
“Please, don’t rob me” I looked at the man and kissed my teeth. I got my Coke and gave it to him and paid and walked out
“Excuse” I turned around to see a little boy tugging at my trouser
“Yes” He jumped a bit at my tone
“Sorry, you dropped your change” He stretched out his little hands towards me revealing my £4.
“Thank you” I took the money from him, to see him mother run towards him and pull him away
“Don’t talk to strangers.” She looked at me like I was scum of the Earth
“No mommy, I was just giving him his change” She sighed and walked off with him
“Bye” He shouted at me. I smiled and waved back at him and walked off. My phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID and knew if I ignored this call she would slap me as soon as the front door opened
“Hello”
“Shaun where the hell are you?” I sighed
“Don’t worry I’m on my way”
“That’s not the point. I’ve been texting you and you never replied to one. Not one. Look at the time” I looked down at my G-Shock.
“Its 11” She kissed her teeth
“I better see you in 10mins”
“Yh yh” I locked off before she could say anything and walked home.

“Shauney man you can get out of this” I laughed at Strapz. It was already 9am and we were already playing fifa. I paused the game and looked straight at him. Once I got home I had explained the whole situation.
“Remember what happened to Johnny when he tried?” He stayed silent for a while trying to recall
“Nah”
“Lool Guess no one bothered to tell you then. Gucci got him decapitated and burnt to crisp. I don’t think you understand how sick in the head he is and his right. The thing is, he uses his youngers and do his dirt so his never got clocked and he’ll never be stopped.” I sighed.
“We’ll find a way”
“NO we fucking won’t. Listen to me for once, his fucked in his head and his not going to stop. Just because you got out so fucking easily don’t mean I can. It’s me. I’m reaper. His beloved subject, he won’t let me go” I punched the wall out of frustration.
“Calm down”
“No I WON’T FUCKING CALM DOWN. I have no choice but to go back, I don’t want any harm going to mom. She means too much to let her go especially since I can actually do something to prevent it” The room filled with silence.
