Street Punks

"Aye bro you sure bout this" Santiago nervously asks Miguel, "We have no choice man! mom needs to extra cash.... let's go" The two brother's enter the local liquor store guns drawn, faces covered, thinking it was innocent work for just trying to help their old lady out. Their mom was struggling with money, there were days when she only had enough ingredients to make food for her two sons, she would starve herself just so her babies could eat. Even though she wishes she had extra help she would've never wanted for her two little boys to go out there and fulfill the stereotype that outsiders have on Oakland teens, to them they were just street punks.

The brothers go straight to the cash register, pointing the gun and screaming at the poor guy just trying to do his job. "OPEN THE FUCKING REGISTER" yelled Santiago. You could hear the terror in his voice he wasn't about that, deep down he was still a kid who just wanted to play video games and get good grades in school.
               "YOU HEARD HIM" Miguel screamed
The cash register opens and they grab the money like they would grab the candy that comes falling down from the piñata that one of their primos breaks at a birthday party. They quickly get out of the store and run towards the park. With guns in the pockets of their hoodies they count the money. "$500 bro that's enough for a nice dinner for us and mom" "shit wait till she hears that she'll be excited to go out at a fancy place for once instead of eating out the dollar menu at Mcdonalds" Things quickly turn around as they see a cop car slowly patrolling and looking towards the direction of the boys. As rookies they didn't check for witnesses, there were people in the store that had called the police as soon as they saw the two boys enter with guns drawn.

As scared teens the brothers start running hoping they didn't get spotted by 12. It was too late for that, the cop already saw them and called for backup. The chase began, the boys cut through neighborhoods, parks and houses but they couldn't shake the cops. As they were turning the corner Santiago's gun fell "dude go back and get it!!!" Miguel said, Santiago quickly went back Miguel spotted cops come towards their direction they got closer and spotted them, the brothers were cornered. The police got out their cars guns drawn and yelling at the two scared teens just trying to help their mom. Santiago not realizing he still had his gun in his hand went to raise his hands up but the police thought otherwise and he was shot multiple times. Miguel out of pure anger ran at the cops and he too was shot to death. And just like that two more teens dead on the streets of Oakland. One of the cops went over to their bodies and whispered to his partner

   "Fucking street punks"
