Latrelle was greeted by some other guys, I avoid eye contact with them but that didn't stop them from looking at me, "aren't you dagger? bullet's daughter?" one of them asked me

I looked at to see a group looking at me, Latrelle had a sympathetic look towards me, though he was too young to know what all the things my dad did, he knew I didn't have relationship with him. "yeah— that's me" I say answering his question

"Is the story true?— of how you got that nickname?" another one asked, everyone waited silently for my answer, "yes" I say making them give each other looks, "c'mon" Latrelle says

we walked passed them and into a house that was filled prophets members before we could fully walk inside, I was stopped by tall man "she's alright— she wit me" Latrelle says

"then why she wearing the santos colors?" he asked looking down at me with mean look on his face more of them gathered around me, I regret wearing Oscar' shirt right now but I remained calm, "that's none of your business" I say

"excuse me?" he asked, "josephine—" Latrelle starts but I stopped him, "I said it's none of your business" I repeated myself, "you realize that you're in the prophet side of town, so that attitude you have won't end pretty for you" he says

"do you know who i am?" I asked looking up at him. he didn't say anything, nobody did so I took this time to continue to speak, "i am bullet's daughter" I say

"if you're really his daughter you pretty brave showing your face around here — considering you snitched—" another spoke up

"that was an accident!— and what about you guys?" I asked

"what about us?" the tall guy in front of me asked

"you honor a man that killed a couple of kids!— not to mention he abused his own kids, you see why I left and never came even when he was gone" I say, making everyone quiet.

I walked passed the tall guy and no one stopped me, Latrelle and I walked into one of the back rooms, we sat down on a couch as one of the prophets gave each of us a beer, I opened mine before taking a sip, "that was pretty big of you— standing up to them like that" Latrelle says

"it's nothing really" I say

"I didn't about your dad— everyone around here said he was legendary" he says, "that's because everyone around here never grew up in a house with him" I say

"do you um— do you ever think about Jonathan?" He asked

"every second of every day" I answered

"Do you ever wonder what things would be like if he was still here?" He asked

"yeah— I think about that all the time, and not just with Jonathan, I think about it with my mom and anyone else who walked outta my life" I say

"I'm sorry for bringing your brother up— it's just weird, like I remember him but I don't have a memory of him"  he says

"you were only 11 when he died" I say, "I know" he says

"he always made me feel like I was one of the big dawgs" he says smiling while making me chuckle, "he never forgot about me— even if he was busy, he always remembered if he promised me something" Latrelle says

"yeah" I say smiling

"hey do you remember it was a block party and they was filling up the water balloons, and Jonathan snuck up behind you and pants you?" He asked laughing, I groan at the memory he brought up

"Oh my god!— thank goodness I was wearing my bathing suit underneath my shorts, after that I stayed inside for two weeks" I say as Latrelle laughed harder

"It was this one time— I was staying after school with some of my friends, one of the football players started talking to me, I was a freshman and he was a junior— Jonathan saw and he was not happy, the football players started to pick a fight against Jonathan and it was 5 big football players against—just him" I say

"What happened?" Latrelle asked

"Jonathan pulled out a switchblade the football players left but the next day someone's reported him and he got expelled— so sophomore year we went to two different schools, he attended a alternative school" I say

Latrelle and I sat in the back room for a half and hour, and just talked. We caught up on everything and we even talked about our memories with James, but it was all interrupted when a guy came into the room "Latrelle— that Santos you shot at is here!" He says

Latrelle and I looked at each other before we got up, I followed him into the living room to see Cesar sitting with Prophets standing around him, Cesar looked at Latrelle before seeing me his eyes widen "Jo?" He says

"Cesar?!" I say
