Chapter 31: Homecoming.

"How is he?" Cordell asked Raul as he leaned over his kitchen sink washing his hands while wearing his hot pink Kimono.

"Ohh I managed to stop the bleeding luckily the bullet went thru and thru. He lost a lot of blood so to be safe I have my old connect down at the blood bank bringing a bag or two. He will have to stay overnight." Raul told me as Cordell leaned against his fridge crossed his arms.

"How is business with that latin King?" Raul asked.

"Who? Pablo? All is good. He supplying my streets and my streets are eating. I got Gordo down at the pizza shoppe overlooking while im up at campus. Its been bright days since Zone." Cordell told hom as Raul stated, "Thats good. Welp, get your sexy ass out of here. Ill call you when he is ready to be picked up."

"thanks man. Ill wire you" Cordell stopped as Raul sucked his teeth.

"Dont need your money. This is loyalty not business. However, you have one more sex party to interupt and imma have you on your knees." He warned Cordell as Cordell laughed and retorted, "In your wildest dreams, man. Make sure to call me." They clapped up once more and he walked out of the iron door and seen Aron, Kellan, and Kyle sitting outside the car. They spotted him coming over to them and they met him half-way with a million questions.

"Is he alive?" Kellan asked.

"Where is he?" Aron added.

"Can I see him?" Kyle interjected.

Cordell thru his hands up and stated, "Chill out. Raul managed to stop the bleeding, but he do need some blood he is waiting for" Suddenly, from the iron doorway Raul snapped, "INK! He passed back out! He need a blood transfusion and now!"

Kyle tossed his hand up and snapped, "ME! Im the universal donor!" He ran full speed up the 3 concrete stairs and Raul quickly admired the beauty before him and exhaled, "Well, then lets go!"

Raul led Kyle into the room and quickly set him up on a stool and slid on some gloves. Kyle closed his eyes as he was so afraid of needles. Raul chuckled, "Needle phobia huh?"

"Yeah, just hurry-OUCH!" Kyle screamed as Raul completed the line and transfused it into Ez vein. Raul stated, "Ill go get you some water to stay hydrated." Kyle looked over at Ez laying what seemed lifeless on the table and he spoke, "I got you. Dont die on me please." He rubbed Ez forehead and grabbed hold of his hand.

"It will take awhile...we can head back to camp" Cordell told them as Kellan sucked her teeth and spazzed, "I am not leaving my brother!" She walked off in a mad strut over towards the stairs. Aron and Cordell stared at one another and he said, "I guess we staying."

"I guess so and what the fuck was that about back at the club..you lowkey outed me to the people in the parking lot that didnt know shit when it came to us." Cordell whispered in a quiet yet grave tone.

"What are you talking about? Because I said Im not leaving you that equals hey look at me Cordell Spacey the flaming homosexual. Lets not get into this here and not now...Ez is fighting for his life and I cant help but thinks this is the universe payback for what we did!" Aron replied.

"Is your arm okay—because thats the biggest reach if I seen one. Ive done hella shit worse shit than killing some damn perverted park ranger, karma would have taken everything from me already. Look we will discuss this late"

"Cordell, its nothing to discuss. Now let me go and console my friends because worrying if a few drunk FRIENDS pieced together that WE are a thing isnt my concern...not now!" He walked off from Cordell and went over to Kellan who was sitting on the steps damn near lost in space. He wrapped his arm around her and exhaled, "It will be okay. Everything will be fine. Raul is amazing."
