A Day Ago:

"What is wrong with y'all?" Boss man, as he wants to be referred, says.

"You mean what is wrong with Juju. I don't know why he point blank shot the guy in front of his dad, but he was going to shoot the father too until I stopped him."

"That would have been one less loose end!"

"The dad swears he won't talk. He knows it's risky because we know where his family lives and he doesn't want to move from that house."

"He told you all of this?"

"Yeah."

"So, I guess that means you were supposed to kill him and let him walk huh?"

"He swore to be quiet and he has good reason to be! I don't see why he wouldn't stay quiet."

"Dump, you're leaving too much up to the word of some man whose son y'all killed. If he blabs and y'all get caught don't mention me!"

"I promised him we wouldn't do anything else. He seemed okay with us killing his son, almost like he expected it to happen at some point the way his son was headed."

"Yeah, life expectancy ain't too long for a gangster."

"Which is why I want out, I'm not a gangster. I just need one thousand more dollars and I have enough to help my friends. I thank you for the opportunity, but I can't work with Juju and Harbo anymore. I'm just not cut out for how they solve things."

"Now, you knew when you got into this, that shit was gonna be dangerous. But I can't blame you for not wanting to work with Juju nem crazy ass anymore. Though you still indebted to me. I need to know that when you leave this whole thing behind, that you won't do anything crazy like flip and tell the police."

"I promise I would never do anything like that Boss Man. You've given me one hell of an opportunity to make the money needed to help a friend. I would never bite your hand in return."

"Then do this last thing for me. Afterwards, we can pretend like we never met each other."

"What's the one thing?"

"That shooting is all over the news. Police ain't gone stop till they catch Harbo and Juju. Now reports have three criminals at the scene of the crime, but people have only identified what sounds like Juju and Harbo. If you lay low you should be good. I'm worried about Juju and Harbo though. I need you to meet up with them one more time. One final time, ya feel me?"

"Whoa, Boss Man. You know I'm trying to avoid killing right?"

"Aye, this what I need you to do for me Dump. Kill them and I'll give you two thousand. Then you can go help yo little friend and we can wipe our hands clean of all of this. I need to know that I can trust you Dump. We can't leave loose ends. Not killing them is gonna make me think we have three loose ends on this team instead of just two."
