Strictly Business

We entered the house.
"Well, well, well, well, well, well. Would you guys mind joining us, Shannade, Apprentice and Traitor." Andre said, standing in the middle of our living room.

"What do you want?" Shannade asked.

"Since I find out you guys are....baby sisters......" he said, chuckling.

"Oh my God, don't say it out loud. Shannon said, she sitting at the dining table arms crossed.

"I propose a truce." Andre smirked, taking a step towards me, Amandla draws out a her gun, points it at his forehead.

"Back up," She said.

"What's up with you and that gun?" Tysheem asked, walking towards Shannon.

"You never let your guard down," Amandla said, not taking her eyes nor gun off of Andre.

"As you can see, I came empty handed" He turned around, she lowered gun.

"Truce?" I asked.

"Truce." He said.

"Why should I believe you? You've been against since......forever."

"Bitch, y'all my sisters" He chuckled slyly.

"Stop, please. I'm begging you." Shannon said, shaking her head.

"We should put the past behind us, y'know."

" I'll sleep on it"

"Really? I said no from the jump." Shannon said.

"With this truce, we'll rule Philly's streets." He said.

"Like I said, I'll think about it."

"Okay, let me know." He started walking out, at the door he turned and smirked at us then left.

"No, no. Fuck that nigga. I don't trust him one bit. He's a conniving little.....little man. 'wE'lL rUlE pHiLlY's StReEtS'" Amandla air quoted and mocked.

"I don't either." Shannon and Tysheem said in unison.

"Fuck all this, I've had enough for today. I'm gonna yo sleep."

"At 3 o' clock in the afternoon."

"Yeah, that's how I avoid thinking about this." I said, started walking up the stairs.

I hear Amandla draw out her gun and take it off safety.

"Yo, put that down." I hear Tysheem say.

"Amandla, stop scaring that bitch ass nigga." I yelled.

"I'm just playing," I hear her laughing. "Later y'all, call me Shannade" She yelled.

"Aight."

She leaves.

I'm in my room lighting up a blunt.

Shannon POV

"I really don't trust Andre and I have a strong feeling that he's up to something."

"I feel the same way....." Ty said
