"And in other news, a manhunt is still under way for the suspects involved in the Finley Park Shooting. A month ago, people gathered in Finley Park for the memorial of Omar 'Fatboy' Heard, a young man who was killed in a drive by shooting nearly two months ago. The memorial quickly turned into a blood bath, injuring 27 people and killing 9 others, one of which was an 8 year old boy. Police believe the shooting was in retaliation of Omar Heard's murder. As of right now, we do have the suspects' names: Jayvion Carter, Mack Franklin, Gerald Jones, Seyven and Sehkani Gonzales, Leon Thomas, Ethan Pierce, and Joseph Williams. If you see these suspects or know of their whereabouts, please call the crime stoppers line: 803-555-7612 or call 911. Again the number is 803-555-7612. Police advice that you do not engage with these suspects. They are highly dangerous", the news reporter on the tv says.
I turn the tv off and sigh. Nobody has seen or heard from Mack, G, Jet, Seyven, or Sehkani in a month; not even their parents. Word on the street is everybody running and they not coming back, but I don't know what to believe. I don't even know what to think. Everyday I think about little Zion and his little body, laying on the ground. Every Saturday I visit his memorial and just sit there for a little while. I didn't even know him and he already has an effect on me. I'm so angry along with a lot of other people because nobody should've been killed that day, but I also feel bad for the guys. Don't get me wrong, they've done me bogus many times, but I still care about them and I just want to know if they're ok.
"Olivia girl why you not ready yet?", K asks as she puts on her earrings.
"I'm thinking about Jet and nem. Did they really leave?"
"Ain't no telling where they are. All we can do is just hope for the best."
"I get that but why you not worried? I'm sitting here about to have a panic attack and you all chill."
"Because one thing I know about them niggas is they smart. They can be stupid at times, but whenever they in trouble, they always come out of it. I'm not worried because I know they got each other."
"Yeah I guess."
"Listen I know this year hasn't been the best for you, but you can't keep sitting here being sad forever. This is the last day of 2019. You not goin spend these last moments reminiscing, Wherever they are, I'm sure they ok, but for now you goin get ready and go to this party. Ight?"
"Mchmt...Ight."
"Good... now come on."
