Amara POV...
How the hell did I get into this shit?! I was supposed to stay outta gang shit here. Now here I am dealing with gang shit.
And right now I'm sitting with my friends who are all talking so fast I can't concentrate at the moment.
Cesar:Yo! One at a time, I'm not following.
Me:Yeah me either.
Jamal: You would be if you answered your phone last night.
Me:Sorry I got held up with something on my walk.
Jamal:Who just walks around.
Me:I do. It's calming.
Ruby:I agree and studies prove it.
Ruby raises his hand and Cesar points to him.
Ruby:Sorry it's excitement. We've been chewing on this for the past two weeks. And it's finally time to move forward with a plan.
Cesar:Plan for what?
Monse:Getting you out of the gang.
They look so happy they thought of that. But Cesar just laughs, until he realizes they are serious.
Cesar:You're serious? Oh my gosh. No! No no no no there is no out. You guys are being naive. Once you're jumped in, you can't get out. Unless you get jumped out, and that's not, you know a option.
Jamal:Why not?
Me:You won't survive the jumping.

Jamal:D.C had four members.
Ruby:But they weren't big until they were three. Which is why there are three common denominators. To end any and all hostile situations I call them the three M's
Murder, money and manipulation.
Ruby:Money, Murder and Manipulation.
Man I'm good at this.
Ruby:No not that one they are watermarked.
Monse: Clearly, murders off the table. The irony would be too much.
Ruby:There's no way we can hustle up enough cash with a car wash to make it worth Oscar's while.
Jamal:Unless
Monse:Jamal, don't. Please don't say it.
Jamal:Getting alot of cash isn't outside the realm of possibility.
Cesar:What are you talking about?
Ruby/Monse:Rollerworld.
Jamal:It's real and 50k is still out there. The dudes that robbed Rollerworld got put away, but the money was never recovered.
Ruby:In the 80s.
Jamal:And the rumor's still rampant! What about the goonies? Some of those kids thought it was B.S. until they found the treasure. And they weren't even--
