The sudden death of dreams(Chapter 4 Brawls)
On hearing the gunshots, everyone got down, the first to get up was Denezius, who looked extremely puzzled. Sarene got up and dusting his clothes, said," Now nigga what the fuck was that shit about." There was another yell in the distance, and as soon as Den heard it, he ran towards the alley, comprehension dawning on his face, "Oh hell naw, I ain't doin' that shit", Takus said and nevertheless he ran after his friend, Sarene followed, beckoning others to follow him.

The sight that met Den's eyes startled and horrified his guts. It was his childhood 'hood' friend Abkortas Iglesias, a Latino dude, who was a member of the notorious MS 13 gang.

Den bent down and as he tended to his friend's bullet wounds, he asked," Who was it hombre, who did this?", Ab replied in a muffled voice, " Some estupido from ahh, I can't speak diablo, listen Den I ain't gon...", he collapsed into a convulsion, Den told him in a choked voice," No Ab, you'll make it bro...", he bit his knuckle to prevent himself from crying, "Someone call the motherfucking ambulance please", he yelled out to all the people standing around him as Takus dialled 911.

"Imma kill that nigga with my bare hands Zach, he did this to mah loc, for real tho, this nigga boutta catch the heat from my glock.", Den said smokin' his weed. "Listen Den, my nigga, Ab was our homeboy, I get it but look bruh, we can't do anything for him, except paying his bills, you get me?", Zach said smelling the coke, his eyes bloodshot. Den threw his blunt aside, "What the fuck is you on about Zacha, you think imma let that slide? That was mah homeboy, they did him dirty, that nigga Lisandro snitched on my brutha, the 18th Street paid him well to do that shit to my brutha, they know he was rolling with us, the knew we is cool with the Nazi Brotherhood, and the Mexicans, how the fuck is this not a warning to us?"

"Look cuz, imma say some real shit right now, some stuff that you ain't like hearing.", Zach said now lighting a blunt, "Look I ain't tryna catch any of that heat, you feel me? I made this band to have fun and be in the game, earn tons of fuck, fuck a couple of hot chicks and chill, I ain't up for all your thuggery and beef, nigga even Bisar is done with yo shit, cutting our profit margins, reducing our performances to mere stoogery,nigga who made you the boss, you know I could sue the fuck Outta you, don't you?"

Den started violently at Zach , but his phone rang and he focussed instead on the call."You saw Lisandro at the crib, hold him there I'm coming and bring Young Buck and Roulette king Malumo with you......Okay okay no no no don't bring no fat fucks right now we wanna get this job done, Fabian."

He put down his phone, looked at Zach and said, " Since you're so fucking reluctant to help a friend out Zacha, imma do it myself."
Zach called out as Den went out of the mansion, "Nigga don't risk your life for the fifty eighth time", but to no avail .


"It is him, boss what do we do?", Malumo asked Den, " Do nothing now, imma take him outside and when in the open you just shoot him and run, I'm wearing my bulletproof Kevlar don't worry", Den told his crooks.

"Lisandro, wassup papi?", Den greeted the snitch. " Oh hola Den what's good?", the guy certainly looked uncomfortable. "Bruh could you just come out with me for a sec, there's some important shit that I gotta tell ya and it's confidential."

"Oh okay",Lisandro said, fidgeting uncontrollably. "I'll be back y'all have fun", he said to the two girls who were with him and to the guy who was also with him, all of them nodded, unconcerned apparently.

"So what is it that you wanted to talk about Denezius?", Lisandro asked. Denezius' eyes flashed in the dark, "What I wanted to say is that a lot of people are born males but they're not men, I'm a man, nobody fucks with me, nobody fucks with my money and nobody fucks with my family and if they do...", he kicked Lisandro's chin with a roundhouse kick, and the snitch fell down bleeding,"You greedy motherfucker, you wanna steal from your family huh? You think I'm a bitch or what, and I was gonna let that slide, fuck you nigga, I'll fuck your entire bloodline up!", he pulled out his .357 Magnum and shot the guy multiple times, " Rot motherfucker, bleed nigga, die nigga die uh yeah imma out two in your eyes, I'll pop out your motherfucking eyeballs out bitch ass nigga."

"Boss let's run plz or the cops will be on our ass", Malumo restrained him and pulled him into a black Bentley, and sure enough the siren of the cops was becoming more and more audible as the guys drove away into the wind of the night.
