Benjamin

Don't do Drugs Children

     "Goodbye Mom, goodbye Dad," Benjamin loudly shouted as their parents left. "I will see you in April."

     "About time I could get away from them. They have been riding my ass all year about getting a job. They had wanted me to work as a janitor at The Toasted Frog just for me to get out of the house." complains Tobias

      "I can see why." Benny whispers.

     The two men run home to grab their wallets and phones to go to the casino. On the way there, they stop at the drugstore to buy Tobias' inhaler medication. As the employee sees that the two men are white, he pulls his shirt up to show his gun. As a man leaves the building he apologizes.

     "Sorry about that. He comes in everyday and buys batteries. I think that he is coming in to get things to create a bomb."

      "Ok. I thought that you had the gun out to," Tobias stopped as Benny nudged him. 

       As they exit the store they hear a massive boom. People are running and screaming everywhere. A huge cloud of black smoke rose from the tower. They run to take cover.

      About an hour later, they finally leave to go to the casino. At the bus stop, Benny sees a "fine" girl. He introduces himself but gets rejected. The beautiful women was a tall gal with streaky blonde hair.
     Once they arrive, Tobias heads straight to the slot machines. Benny walks over to the Craps table to roll some dice. He calls out seven and gets it. He notices that he receives ten chips. 

     As the night goes on, Benny is at $4,500, Tobias is down $900 and both are drunk off their minds.

     " Give me another seven," Benny demands. "Whatever you do, don't roll a four or I'll be in deep shit."

      Right as he says that, the number roll out of his mouth, on to the table. He was completely screwed. He quits and just cuts his losses. The rest of the night, the two men get boozed and end up in a rice field the next morning. The morning air is filled filled with fog and smoke from yesterday's bomb. Outside of their apartment building was a shattered glass from a bashed out window. They were robbed.

      When they walk in their apartment, an alarm goes off. The police come and arrest the two.

     "What did we do?" Tobias questioned

    "Oh nothing, just robbing this apartment here. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, can be used against you in a court of law.You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you." the rookie officer reads off.

     Benny knew his age because he was reading off of his wrist. The other officer was his lieutenant, and was nodding.

     "This is our apartment, the men that should be getting arrested is the real criminals." Benny mumbles.

     As they drive to the county jail, all the men in the cop car stare in awe at the blown up building. Right at the site, there are the outlines of the dead corpse covered in smoke. When the police return to the station, they recieve a call. The lieutenant makes signals to the rookie to let them go and take them to their apartment.

     "I'm sorry for the mix up. You never know in this part of the country. With the cartel around, you just never know anymore." the rookie states as he shakes his hand. "To another day."

     As Benjamin walks into the house to grab a snack, he comes to find out that his Chicken n' a Biscuit where sprawled all over the floor. Once he finds a broom, he pushes around the cracker and sees a bag of cocaine lying there.

     "Tobias!" Benny screamed "Tobias, where are you!" 

     Not one person makes a noise. He must of been sleeping or some sort. Benny grabs the kilo of cocaine and puts it inside of his night stand. The next, Benjamin was going to bury it so it would show no evidence.

     That very hour, Benjamin wakes up to do the biggest crime that he has ever encountered. To make sure no one could track him, he wore gloves and bought a new shovel. As he walked out to the beach, he saw hundreds of more kilos of cocaine. Benjamin had just threw away his kilo and walked away. He had never visited Brazil ever again after that week.
