It's all fun and games in the daytime. Children laughing, playing, people walking around, talking and hanging out. But when the clock strikes 10 at night, its a nightmare. Especially on 2300 Jackson Street, that's where all hell breaks loose. Thugs...

"How did you get in my apartment again?"
"The window again" She said while folding her arms.
"We'll have to talk tomorrow. I'm not feeling so well."
"Oh your not feeling well? Is it because of Tyrone or maybe Anthony" She asked.
I looked at her in confusion.
"How do you know about them?"
"Aaliyah told me. You got two man wrapped around your finger" She asked.
"No I don't they're my friends."
I went in my kitchen & turn on the coffee maker. I took out the green tea bag & waited for the water to heat up.
"So you have two male friends" She asked as she walked in the kitchen.
"Yeah I do."
"So Tyrone didn't ask you ask out this weekend" She asked.
I poured the hot water in my mug. I placed the tea bag inside.
"Maybe."
"What the hell are you doing hanging with those two?"
"What? What's wrong with them?"
"They're crooks Annie" She said.
"What are you talking about?"
"Tyrone & Anthony are scammers & con-artists. They fucked everyone out of they money. All up & down 7th Street" She said sitting down in the kitchen chair.
I took a sip of my tea. I pulled out some Biscottis.
"How do you know if its true?"
"Um their criminal record? Their faces all over the flyers & billboards. Hell the police are still looking for them" She said.
"How come I didn't see it?"
"Probably because you was too busy working" She said.
"They're nice guys Mary."
"Yeah for now but as soon you settled down with one of them. All hell breaks loose" She said getting up walking towards me.
"Can you explain?"
She sighed "I dated one of them."
"Tyrone?"
She shook her head yes "The first two weeks were romantic & sweet. But after that shit started happening."
"Like?"
"I don't want to talk about it" She said while looking away.
"I already agreed to go out with Tyrone this weekend."
"Well cancel it" She said.
"No."
"Why" She asked.
"I don't have to tell you why."
"Are you serious right now" She asked.
"Very serious."
"You don't trust me" She questioned.
"Its not that. I do trust you. Its something that I prefer to keep to myself."
"Oh I see" She said.
She grabbed her jacket & walked towards the door.
"Mary wait."
She turned around in anger "No its all good Annie. Do you."
She walked out slamming the door behind him. I sighed & shook my head. I should've told her what happened to me. But I knew she wouldn't believe me. She'll probably think I'm crazy. I don't necessarily believe the "crook" part. But I need to pay more attention around my surroundings.
Maybe I should do some research on them. I went in my bedroom & opened my laptop. I searched their names & a website popped up. I clicked on it & read the article.
Tyrone Melreal Franklin & Anthony Nathan Beverly were the first two black males to scam the local nursery home. They came inside the home pretending to be deliver boys. The nursery home payed them $12k. Weeks later ten elders died from the pills that was given to them. Turns out the pills were fake & making the elders sick. Police issued a warrant out for their arrest.
