'Money'

chapter eleven - nobody touches Money's daughter

- Can't we stay here, I'm getting tired, 'Money' says.

- Don't tell me that you, Money fucking Harlon, the life of the party, the guy who can drink everyone except his wife, under the table, is getting too old to party like there is no tomorrow, I say.

'Money' finally agrees to go with me back to the party. *oh well, I ain't 25 anymore...* he thinks to himself.

As we go back to the party, we meet Jackson.

- Can I get a Pepsi, please Jackson, I say.

- Aye, Jackie, want anything, 'Money'? Jackson asks as he gets me my Pepsi on ice.

- Can you get me a Bud, brother? 'Money' asks him.

- Comin' right up, man, Jackson says and gets 'Money' his beer.

In the basement the kids are having their own party, under the watchful eye of 'Beast', although he is mainly there to guard the boss's underaged daughter.

One of the older guys in the bunch, Dennis, an 18 year old that 'Beast' has had his eye on all night, grabs Ana.

- The fuck are you doing?! she screams.

- C'mon, baby...just let me have some of you...he's just about to move his hand deeper in under her dress as both Nick and 'Beast' grab him and 'Cash' starts rounding on him.

- The fuck you think you're doing, that's my lil sis you were grabbing! 'Beast', throw this piece of shit outta here, will you? 'Cash' says. Nick, can you go find mum and dad and tell em' what's going on?

- I'm on it like fleas on a stray cat, Nick says and goes to find me and 'Money'.

- With pleasure, 'Cash', ma' man, 'Beast' says, grabs the kid by the scruff of his neck and literally throws him out an open window.

There's a thud and an 'uh' as the kid hits the ground outside.
- Hope he hurt himself, 'Beast' says, not the least bit sorry just as me and 'Money' walk in with Nick in tow.

- What happened? Where is my daughter? 'Money' asks, worried.

- I'm here, dad, Ana says in a small voice.

- Some punk ass son of a hoe tried grabbing your daughter's...lady parts, I sent him flying out the window, 'Money', 'Beast' explains.

- Good man, 'Beast', is he out there still? 'Money' asks. Cause if he is, I'm gonna kill him!

- He's out there still, 'Money', should I come with you or would you rather I stay here guarding your ladies? 'Beast' asks.

- Come with me, for saving my daughter from rape, you've earned the first hit, 'Money' says before turning to his sons. 'Cash', Nick, take your mother and sister back up in the house, send everybody home, Cash, you stand guard outside mum's and my room, Nick, outside of Ana's until I come back.

- Yes, dad, the boys say as one and brings me and Ana to our rooms.

'Money' and 'Beast' walk out to the backyard like two male lions on a hunt for a fresh kill.
- There he is... 'Beast' says, pointing at something that at first glance looks like a moving rag doll thrown on the ground.

- Oh well look at that...'Money' says in triumph. Let's have some fun with this one, play a little with our prey before we go in for the kill, like the male lions we are.

The kid on the ground squeals like a stung piglett when 'Money' kicks the kid in the groin with his steel-toed boots as he tries to get up.
- Do you know who I am? 'Money' asks the kid. I'm the father of the guy who's party you were just at...and also of the girl you assaulted sexually in the basement during said party. Both her brothers were there, they were the ones that tried to stop you, before this man here *nods at 'Beast'* got to you, 'Money' adds, all calm but with eyes burning with fury.

- She wanted me to do it, the kid tries, getting up his knees.

*Money slaps him so he bounces back down to the ground*

- What kind of language do you speak? I was there the whole time, and I heard her loud and clear, telling you "no" and telling you to stop, 'Beast' says. That wasn't some kinky role play, kid, and don't come to us with shit like "She said no, but she didn't mean it", that, my dear boy, will only have my man Jacob here, rip your head off faster when I'm done talking.

- She said she didn't want to but she didn't mean it, they never do, the kid tries to convince the two men more than twice his age and way more than his age in experience with women.

Money takes a chokehold on the kid and doesn't let go until the kid stops to grabble and goes limp.
- Was he trying to convince us that that's how it is? 'Money' says while they hide the body. Jesus, I had my first fuck before that kid was even a sperm, and I knew already back then that if the chick says no, then no it is.
