Rubare

Part 1, Chapter one. Intro

"Where has dad been Ma?" Lorenzo asked his mom. His dad has been gone for the past 3 days with no contact to him or his older brother Ruben. " He's at work mijo he's fine." Lorenzo was protected by his mom. Even though Detroit was flooded with crime and bad influence in music and what not , Lorenzo never really witnessed anything bad besides maybe someone smoking weed or someone shooting off a gun. Lorenzo never cared for any of the stuff. Heard his friends talk about drugs and guns and shit all the time but never found it interesting enough to waste his time on it.

" He's out cooking that crystal Lo-Lo" Ruben said. "Cállate Ru-Ru" Their mom explained. Irked by the thought that Lorenzo would question it. He never did but he knew. He played dumb for his mom. Letting his mom think he was this perfect little angel. He never did wrong. Always a school kid never even drinking or smoking. Ruben on the other hand , partying every other weekend, selling weed and wax cartridges. Always focused on his next money move or next party. His mom didn't like it but that was still her baby boy.

"Ma I'm going to get some food from McDonald's you guys wants anything ?" Ruben shouted from the living room. "No thank you " Lorenzo and his mom responded. The front door shuts and a car starts. " I'm gonna go upstairs and play some Xbox" Lorenzo said in a more sleepy manner. " Ok mijo I'll call you down if anything." And Lorenzo walked up the stairs, approaching his room and shutting his door.

Instead of turning on his Xbox, he opened his laptop and looked into more computer parts. Wanting to build a good gaming computer yet lacking the money to do so. Nervous to bother his parents about it, he just made money anyway he can. He was stuck in a trance of computer parts he liked and thought was so fascinating. Always intrigued by how technology works and how people coded and programmed things. He knew it was something he was supposed to consider when it came time for a career but didn't know if his parents would understand.

'vzzzt,vzzzt' Lorenzo's phone vibrating on his desk with the screen showing his friend Fernando calling him "Yo man where the hell you at"
"I'm in my room right now wassup"
" Get on Xbox dummy lets play siege or fortnite I'm bored, Sergio is in my party bruh we gonna be waiting"
" Alright bro I'll be there in a minute "
He hung up and swung around in his chair and turned on his Xbox and TV and went to use the bathroom real quick.

While walking back he hears his mom on the phone with his dad.
" Lorenzo is constantly asking about you Joseph you need to hurry and come back."
Lorenzo only so intrigued by where this can go he sits on the stairs about as quiet as he can when she breaks the silence with
" Listen I know you need to do this big sale or whatever I don't care , we all miss you and you- yes I know your safe but that's not the point Joseph, just listen. What? Ok. I love you bye"
Lorenzo gets up and walks downstairs using the excuse of him getting a drink while he questions his mom a bit
" who were you talking to ma ?"
" Your dad mijo why ?"
What were you guys talking about? Is he alright ? Is he coming home soon "
" Mijo he's fine and he doesn't know yet. He's extra busy with what's going on. "
" How come you don't tell me what he does for work ? I know he doesn't work at some factory ma, I'm not young?"
" Heh, 14 isn't young then, I'll tell you later in life mijo"
"Ugh alright ma, I'm going back up , love you "
"Love you too Lo-Lo"
Lorenzo heads up and throws on his headset, joins the party with his friends and spent hours with them.
