CHINA

Hey Bitches ! I'm China aka Ice. Im the Loud and crazy one.. Yea I cut hoes.

I'm a Thick ass Red bone with a few tatts, a couple piercings, and my shit stay whipped. I got some good ass hair so I switch between weave and natural when I feel like it. currently, i'm rockin an 30" ombre teal sew in that's got these hoes hating hard.

I'm 24 and own a fashion business with my best friend London. We design and put outfits together for celebrities without having to travel with them. Me and my bitch been down since the third grade, wasn't NOBODY coming between us.

My boyfriend Jordon and I have been together since we were seniors in highschool, 6 years strong! He is the one who introduced me to K$D, Kill, $tack, or Die...

Now I know what you sayin, yo boyfriend brought you in a gang, but let me tell yall the whole story. I was a senior in highschool with a part time job, didn't know who my daddy was, my mama was on that shit and left, and and I had my 9 year old sister Kennedy to feed and take care.

FLASHBACK

I was on my way home from work and my little sister was spending the night at a friend's house so I stopped at the store and grabbed me some snacks.

I walked outside and saw squad cars all up and down the street. "What happened" I asked Judy, A crackhead leaned up against the store, she was one of my mama closet friends. She was a church lady front row every Sunday, but after her husband died she took to the rock for comfort.

"It was a shooting down the block, word a little girl got hit" she said through her missing teeth. I shook my head that shit make me sad.

"Damn, that's sad. Well I'll see you around"

"Okay hunny, stay safe"

I smiled and walked off. I knew I had to cross the railroad cause they would never let me down there. When I got halfway down I heard some niggas talkin but I couldn't make out what they was sayin so I walked closer making sure to be quiet. It was two dudes who looked to be doing a drug trade. I kept going minding my business.

"Well, Well, Well if it isn't the man of the streets... Killa" I stopped. I had heard that name before, but I couldn't really recall. I was snapped out my thoughts when A big fat nigga came out the back followed by about 6 niggas. I already knew what was up.

"Man wtf you set me up!" he yelled. I don't know what in the hell it was, but something made me wanna help him. I took the safety off my strap, said a quick prayer, and got ready to off these niggas.

"Any last words?" The big fat nigga said.

"Yea, suck my dick!" instantly shots rang out everywhere ! The guy who I assume is "Killa" shot 1 but was down.

I ducked behind a garbage can and shot aiming perfectly offing 3 of 'em. While they was looking at where the shots came from I ran to another spot and shot 2 more. The fat nigga hopped in his car and pulled off as I ran still shooting at it next to killa.

"You okay?" I asked puttin the safety back on my gun stashing it on my waist. They got me in the arm. He showed me his arm and the bullet was stickin right there. so it hadn't gone that deep.

I got my bandana out my purse and wrapped it around his arm to keep the pressure. "come on" I said pulling him to the direction of my house.

When we got there I poured him 2 shots of vodka I had stored and he rolled a L as I took out the bullet and put in stitches. He didn't flinch or even make a sound.

Before my mama got on that shit she was a RN at Josiah Hospital and she taught me how to take out bullets, patch wounds, shit even deliver a baby. She said I was gone have to do atleast one livin out her in New Orleans. I guess she was right.

"What I owe you?" I thought about it.

"Nun" I shrugged my shoulders and he looked at me like I had 4 heads.

"Hold up lemme get this straight. You risk yo life for a stranger, bring him to yo house, do a patch up, and you don't want nothing ?!"

"Nope" It was quiet and kind of awkward so I went to get a Popsicle.

"Ayye ma where you work"

He asked catchin me off gaurd.

"The name's China and Pick N Save.. why?"

"Well China, I got a offer for you. This happens never so consider yourself lucky. I want you apart of K$D. You got skills and heart. I move you out to Compton with the rest of us" I thought about it. I would make 10x as much as I do at Pick N Save In just one day.

" I can't be runnin the streets while tryna care for my little sister" I said.

"All taken care of. she'll be safe with my neighbor who watches everybody kids" I was in deep thought.

Right then my phone rang and I got up to check it still in deep thought. I had like 100 missed calls from everybody. I answered London call.

"China what the fuck !? Where you been why you ain't awnserin yo phone !!??"

" I got caught in something damn mom, wassup?"

"Kennedy got shot !" I stared at the phone. my mouth went dry and my mind blank. It all came back to What Judy said. That little girl was my sister.

I ran and threw on my shoes. "let's go" I yelled to Killa. he could sense my seriousness and didn't question me. When ran down the block to see the police still there.

"Excuse me ma'am you can't come through" The cop told me I wasn't in the mood to deal. I ran passed him to my sister Layin on the ground.

"Hey you can't be here!" The police yelled trying to grab me as I ran to her side.

"Yo chill the fuck that's her sister stupid ass" I could hear London cussin them out. I touched her cold hand as tears ran down my face. I didn't bother yellin and screamin puttin on a show cause I knew she was gone.

I felt arms wrap around me as I sat down by my sister's lifeless body. "It's gone be okay ma" Killa whispered as I embraced him in a hug, he rubbed my back as I sobbed.

I lost my everything. I didn't have nothing else to live for. I cried for about 10 minutes until I got up the strength to talk. "Killa" I croaked.

"Wassup" he looked at me with worry on his face. "Is that offer still on the table" His face showed shock as he shook his head. "Yea"

I pulled back and looked him in the eyes. "3 conditions" He sat up giving me his full attention. "1 I can finish highschool, 2 my Bestfriend London goes, and 3 you help me find my sister's killer." His eyes lit up with a twinkle and a sly smile came over his face.

"Deal"
