"Dude, Ms. Fenty will kill us if she finds out about this!" Two young boys walked along the sidewalk, it was only them who seemed to be out at this time, but they had something to do. Well one had something to do, the other was really just tagging along in attempts to stop their friend from making the wrong decision.
"She's just our teacher, what can she really do?!" The nervous boy took a deep sigh, his heart racing as they got closer to the meeting area. He wanted to run home, not wanting to be apart of any of this. But he couldn't just leave his friend high and dry to do this alone.
"What you lil niggas need." Blade asked, leaning up against the stair railing of one of Ace's locations. Some of the other members of Maurice' gang sat around him on the steps, scoping out both boys. The looks on their faces were intimidating, nearly scaring the boys shitless.
"Um I- I'm Kayden and this Kamari...we want in." Blade raised an eyebrow, a devilish look falling over his face. This wasn't the first he's seen of young boys trying to get initiated in, these types of things were always entertainment in his head.
"Y'all want in what? OHB?" Kayden, the persistent one, rapidly nodded his head. Kamari hung his head low, not wanting any parts. He knew his mom would kill him, but Kayden was his best friend.
"Yeah, Ace's gang." Everyone on the steps started laughing, including Blade whose eyes diverted over to Kamari. He stepped down the steps a little more, getting closer to both boys.
"Aye lil dude, you look like you ain't tryna be here." Kamari finally looked up, his mouth going dry having Blade right in front of him. Blade's name was just as talked about in the streets, right along with Don. They didn't hold as much of a status as Ace, but they were known.
"Nah, I'm good." The hesitation in Kamari's voice was evident, but if he told Blade he was good, then he wouldn't try to talk the kid out of it. He wasn't there to be tryna act as some type of role model to anyone else's kids.
"...Alright, come on." Blade nudged his head, turning around to jog up the steps. Kayden and Kamari were close behind him, staying in line with one another. Blade raised his right hand, pushing open the metal door to reveal what was inside. This place didn't hold anything that could get them caught up, it was really just a meeting area and an initiation place.
"Give me my fucking money bitch." Was the first thing they heard once stepping in the building. The voice was recognized as Ace, making the boy's freeze up. Blade turned to look at the boy's, wrinkling up his nose seeing they just randomly stopped.
"Y'all tryna get in this shit or not? The hell y'all freezing for, come on." He began walking again, the boy's doing light skips to keep up. As soon as they turned the corner, all they seen was Maurice standing with a gun pointed directly at Don's head.
Kayden and Kamari both sucked in sharp breaths, they weren't expecting to see a whole murder during their initiation. But Maurice wasn't about to murder his friend, that's just how they played around. He was holding up a jammed gun anyways, so even if he wanted to shoot Don it wouldn't work out.
"If you don't take that thing out my damn face." Don hit the gun to the side, making Maurice chuckle. Neither of them even noticing Blade standing there with the kids.
