Oscar

I was chilling at my crib with the homies.
Marcus texted me that he got Lexi, everything was good. Leilani hadn't texted me at all which was weird. I tried calling a few times but I got nothing.

"Aye who's car is that?" One of the Santos said.
I looked up to see Rosaria coming up to my house.
"Can you tell my daughter if she's going to spend the night at your house to at least text me or pick up the phone?" She yelled.

I looked at her confused.
"She's not here?" I said.
Her face dropped.
"She never came home." Rosaria said.
"I've been calling her and calling and I haven't gotten anything back, i thought she was with you!" She yelled, she was starting to panic.

"Did you call Emaza or anyone?" I asked her.
Cesar came outside with Monse. "What's going on?"

"Have either of you heard from Leilani?" I asked them. Cesar shook his head.
"Yeah, she texted me about going dress shopping for the white ball, but totally bailed on us." Monse said casually.

"When was that?" I asked.
"Like 2:30." She said.

Rosaria was panicking and making phone calls.
I was pacing back and forth trying to get my thoughts in order.
"Oscar what's going on?" Monse asked.
"Ay Fool! The Prophets got Lexi!" Tito yelled out.

"What?" Everyone yelled Except for Jose.
He knew.
I had to act surprised like it was nothing, even though Marcus had texted me.
Both of us would take this secret to the grave.
If our gangs knew we worked together, they'd have our heads for it.

Tito walked up to me and showed me a video of Lexi being tortured. It was brutal.
Maybe it was more than she really deserved.

The video continued.
A prophet started talking.
"You got the little homie Latrelle killed Spooky, but look what we got." He said.

The camera turned and Leilani popped up on the screen. She was screaming and kicking and they were holding her still to be on camera.
Her shirt was cut open and their hands were all over her. I knew it was a matter of time before she was raped, or had a seizure.

Then the video cut off.

The world stopped for me.
I couldn't breathe I really couldn't.
"Spooky?" Tito called out.
"Oscar! What are we gonna do?"

Everyone was yelling.
I took a few steps.
"FUCK FUCK FUUUUUCK." I screamed.
Anything I could get close to I was throwing, kicking I even flipped the couch on the lawn.

I fell to my knees and screamed again.
Then the tears came.

They had her, they fucking got her and it's all my fault. I felt hands on me and I pushed them off.
I was shaking.
Tears kept falling as I ran into my house and slammed the door behind me.

I was trembling as I pressed on my phone.
I tried to calm my breathing while the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Where the fuck is she?" I yelled.
"Hello spooks." Marcus laughed.
"Where the fuck is she?" I yelled again.
"Can't Tell you." I said.
"That wasn't our fucking deal, it was just lexi." I whispered.
