Day:One

Day : c37 :

Benjamin : TWO: weeks : later

The Night moon glowed brightly as i Rand the trail. I knew his routine perfectly.

Every stop,

every break

even the pace he Ran.

Tightening the hoodie over my head as i tied my shoes looking at him as he jogged passed me. Standing to my feet as i trailed behind him for five minutes.

His rest was coming up right across the lake bridge. I watched from a few feet away as he leaned over catching his breath.

The trail lights weren't bright in the next section as i watched him reset his timer. Counting down from ten in my head as the wrench slide down my sleeves into the palm of my hand.

Picking up my pace as he Ran under the the tunnel. The wrench dropped further down as i Ran beside him swinging it at the back his leg.

His knees buckled as he fell to them, Brandon let out a pain felt grunt as i swung the wrench striking him in the face.

Blood dripped from his mouth as he took his time pulling himself up. The blow to his chin sent his head into the pavement wall just as i cuffed his hoodie dragging him to his back.

the back of his head planted into the ground as i forced the wrench back up my sleeves. Rolling him to his side as i checked his pulse.

Many people slept under the tunnel at night, so him laying there didn't look suspicious as i picked back up with my pace finishing off my run.

"Ay- dont sniff too much of this shit youngin. It's a hustle at the end of the day for me, but i don't want a young college kid death on my hands" he eyed me as he held onto the thick wrapped product.

"Price?" I asked not caring about he had to say. He looked back at one of his boys before handing me the white brick.

"This will run you fifteen, this one will run you a twenty five" he implied holding them both out. "I have three hundred cash and this watch" i spoke as he chuckled.

"Gone home kid" he spoke turning around as i grabbed his arm. "i don't need a lot just some" i asked as he pulled away from me.

"You need it that bad huh? How you get hooked on this shit?" He asked as i played into the idea of using.

"Look you gone take this or nah?" I asked as he grabbed the money. One of the guys beside him threw over a small bag as he handed it to me.

"That should last you a week." He spoke as i quickly stuffed it into my pocket.

Cuffing  the zip lock bag as i knocked at his door again. Pluto answered it slightly surprised that it was me.

He looked out the door just as he was welcoming me in. "Everything good?" He asked as i looked at the time on my watch

[11:25 pm].

"Yeah, just wanted to let you know that we're good for real" i spoke with my hand out waiting for a shake. "So no bad blood?" He asked as i nodded my head.
