Life.
When I was 23 years old everything seemed completely and totally fine. My mom and dad were happy with their relationship, my brother was dating a really sweet girl, and I was happily engaged to my beautiful girlfriend, Maddie. We had a nice house with a dog named Chunk and a cat named Fred. My fiance and I live two blocks from Venice Beach in California. To bad I screwed it all up.
I work for a Gang called the Two Snakes and I dealt with all of the money going in and out of the gang. The spending of the big boss and the amount of money we bring a day. I was in a very dangerous business and had to hide it from my family as far as they knew I was an accountant.
“Hey Two Chainz” I said. I just came into the office for the day.
“Look Winston, I need you to do something for me no questions asked you dig?!” He slammed the table.
“Okay when and where?” I asked.
“Here take these. They are to the Honda out back.”
“Okay what do I do.”
“Just take me where I tell you to go.”
Once we got to the car he gave me an address and handed me a gun. Now I’m not new to guns at all I carry one at work and have many at home. Now when you get one from Two Chainz it means someone might die today. I was worried I have only shot one person before and that’s because I saw him trying to break into my neighbor's house.
After an hour drive I started to notice that we were in our rival gang's territory!!!! I looked at Two Chainz and was shocked.
“Stop.” Two Chainz demanded.
“What are we doing here??” I asked.
“Stay in the car, Winston.”
When I was sitting in the car my mind was racing thinking about all the things what we could be doing here. It felt like I was sitting in that car for hours and hours but when I looked at the clock it had only been 10 minutes. I thought we were going to go pick up some product or some money which happens quick.
Then out of nowhere I see Two chainz sprinting out of the building with two guys chasing after him!! Then I saw one of them stop and hold up his gun before I could warn him he had already pulled the trigger. BANG, BANG!!!!! He just dropped. I didn’t know what to do one of my really good friends just got shot in front of my eyes, I was just stuck there.
“GET OUT OF THE CAR MAN!!!” Shouted the masked man.
Then I just hit the gas as hard as I could and just tried to take off, didn’t really work out that way. Turns out that the car was in reverse still and I ran the two guys over.
“Oh god, what am I going to do I just started a war!?!?!?!?” I panicked.
I speed off as fast as I could I tried to get home as fast as possible to get my things together. As I was racing down the highway I called Maddie.
“Look baby just listen don’t ask any questions ok.” I said calmly.
“Okay.”
“Get our passports and empty out my safe: the code is 49-99-89-98. Now once you do that get two bags ready: fill them up with clothes and wait for me to get there. Do you understand?”
“yes.”
On my drive there I could just feel my phone ringing over and over again, it was my Boss. I was so scared to answer so I just texted him while I was driving. I just told him that Two Chainz was shot and I killed two of their guys. He kept calling and kept calling me until I finally gave in and answered.
It was the worst conversation of my life he just freaked and told me that we have had an alliance for 6 years and now it’s all ruined. He told me to come meet him now or I’d have a hit on me, so of course I went. Once I got there I saw the leader of the guys I just killed and put it together that I was set up.
I pulled out my gun and just started shooting and shooting until I got behind the door. Bullets were passing to either side of me and coming throught the wall. I shot I few more shots hitting one of the guys in the legs. I made a fast break for the car and called Maddie to tell her to wait outside for me. I sped down the street and pulled up to my house shoving open the door for my love.
Before she could even say a word I raced down the street towards the airport. I left the car outside once we got there and we raced inside not even realizing I had a gun in my pocket so I tossed it in the trash. We walked up to the terminal and I bought a ticket to Puerto Rico under a false name in cash.
“What’s going on baby? Why are we leaving?” She asked.
“We have to I did something, I will tell you all of it when we get there.” I replied. “Now go to bed I love you.”
