GOOD GIRLS GO BAD

GENESIS

A dark man dressed in a checked suit walked towards the winds whispers.He held cotton candy in his bandaged hands and didn't seem bothered by the fact that he was bruised all over.Came running,did a girl, so young and quite elated.

"Daddy.....!" " Oh sunshine how are you?" Her father hugged her tightly.He pulled her soft cheeks, rumpling her hair as the careless wind blew out of his pocket some sort of hand written note not very far from them."Are you okay sunshine?Is mummy home?" Trying to pull her focused attention away from the note that was unfortunately picked by a 16 year old.

He looked at her attentively but she walked over uninterested in whatever seemed to exist.Dim light struck at her chocolate face as her father stood up."Adele-"am fine!!" She interrupted emphasizingly and grimly.He assiduously gazed at her resemblance with his palms nervously rubbing his hips.Little Tressy pulled her father's arm to the house as Adele led the way to a small ventilated house.It was haunted by darkness and blessed with the dim light that exposed a handmade door.

He accidentally tramped hard on the wooden floor and broke the timber that raised acutely at an angle knocking down a shelf near the wall.Tressy's dark lips revealed creamy yellowish teeth that were spaced as she chuckled.

Adele,however,strode past him without a backward glance."Why is it so long?" Debora,with great consternation stood arms-crossed glowering at the man she once treasured.Mike,a once whole man,was dark with a pair of white sharp eyes that mastered a drowsy look."Why is it so early for the heveans to bestoll a curse upon me?"Debora's eyes widened as tears slowly formed in her eyes as her voice was raised.Mike curved his lips inwardly,darted his eyes round the room.He fixed his eyes on the yellow flames of the candle Infront on him."Debora, I am not here to enchant lightning and thunder upon your dwelling-"Shut up!shut up.I have lost everything just because of patience-"You think am doing nothing?you think I abandoned you?All the last two years I've been up and down-"And then you show up with a metallic leg." Her eyes were a pool of tears in that quick fire session.She chuckled.She walked back and forth forming a uniform rythym of footsteps.Adele and Tressy were in another opposite room listening to every word their parents threw at each other."I told you that I didn't want to have to spend a lonely life without a living.I could have just taken the offer" Silence reigned supreme as Mike dusted his checked trouser and clutched a seat Infront of him.

Its silk reflected crimson red light off it and the candle's flame danced to the wind's tunes.

"I didn't want you to end up like me," Mike nodded as Debora chuckled on her sobs.She recited,"Like you..like you?" roared as she threw the flower pot off the shelf behind her angrily.Mike sighed and sat down,"Debora,give me some time to sort things out." Debora walked fast, desperately Infront of him emphasizingly throwing her curving hands back and forth.

"That.....ttthat company....that organisation offered.Me alot.You can't.Yyou-can't see that? can you?"

"Then about the kids?You just leav'em like that?".There was silence again but this time,a knock at the door interrupted.It made Debora's heart plunge.She wiped her tears in panic,"Get out Mike.You have to go!"Adele and Tressy were alarmed again.They just slipped in their beds and pretended to be fast asleep.All they could hear was their mother plaeding with Mike to leave and loud knocks at the door.Mike groaned towards the door, sluggishly rotated and fell unconscious.

****A slum area with a rusty upbringing in the minds of the ghetto dwellers was packed with humanity.Just in its heart was a bungalow looking so fine in a ronovated state.It was hid in cornered shelters of civilians,about examined metres away.A white dog-bulldog,with black patches barked at Maria aiming backwards,so viciously that it's weight fell upon one of Maria's bodyguard.He shook and shook as it bit apat his arm's flesh.He tried to reach for the gun but he was as good as dead.He could not have survived those canines.

It was not because she couldn't rescue him,but rather because Scar forbid her to kill or hinder the predator by rescuing it's prey.His fury eyes spoke benevolence at the same time ensnared from his cracked lips that looked abnormally healthy.He positioned his gun Infront of his dressed bobbly belly,that hid quite a number of tattoos that ran down his arm.If at all those beautiful flowers on his large scarlet shirt grew inwardly through his veins,he wouldn't be ruthless.Other hungry dogs barked angrily,banging the chains around the cage at the back and left side of Scar.

"There's danger impending on the horizon-Perhaps a usual signal?" he grinned broadly.Maria,making her way to him,knelt,"Greetings Papa." He flapped his hands upwards telling her to rise.He hushed the dogs calm and held her hand leading her to the inside house."Come.Have tea with me my child," His level of calmness was really unbelievable.Maria was seated on a small dining, diagonal to the entrance.She locked her hands together and placed them politely on round table saying,"Khalim is taking care-taking good care of.The imports.He should be done in two days."

Scar held his bald head smoothly passing to his shoulder and then held a teapot and spoke as if wheezing,"Out of the eater came something to eat.Out of the strong came something sweet." His house had statues of Virgin Mary and Crosses,many candle's put on the walls.When Maria averted to the biggest Cross on the wall,she saw blood spots.This wasn't something to be shocked about.

Scar was a tall man but slightly shorter than Khalim.He gained his name by the big scar that cut across his face that petrified some people.He would export drugs and weapons claiming himself as the biggest gangster in the State.He worked with several other druglords that formed an alliance-rather an organization that he led...well,by force though,after he had slaughtered George-the former leader.He was had two personalities surprisingly.In his ghetto,he was kind but in other businesses,he was sedulously psychotic.

He was supported and loved by the ghetto youths whom he blinded into learning military reforms and sponsoring them to schools yet they were going to be spies.They we're blessed to have this kind hearted man who went even beyond to build them shelter and take care of their children.However,Maria was an adopted daughter of his.A survivor of a fire outbreak in one of Scar's camps.

The kettle sang as the curtains swished.Light struck from one of the huge wide windows like a sudden celestial beam from a projector onto the vanished table that glowed outwardly.The dust modes suspended and floated freely in the air."Prayer...let's pray." Scar held Maria's hand gently and bent his head slightly."Our Father in heaven,Hallowed be thy name......." Maria's thoughts grew deeper.She remembered how one of the men today was killed and how that came about in a way of wonder but rather calm to Scar.

"I want both General and Nagasaki to come over," he said as he pulled out a box with solid blocks on it.They represented the ten members of the organization.Each member had a specific color."Stay and watch but don't worry.They won't be of harm." He moved a green and black block to the gold one.He then got a blue block and put it off board.

"Meanwhile, we'll send men to their houses to test their patience .We will capture Red and take over his arm's and put them in General and Nagasaki's house."

Immediately,one of his men dashed in and whispered to his ear He raised his hand telling him to go and twisted his lips in derision.He eyed his watch and said,"Time is now."

Maria moved a little bit in outside the heart to the ghetto where people lived.It was overpopulated and congested.People looked emaciated,so grumpy and dirty- but they seemed peaceful.Maria was well known individual in her area,the place she was raised.One child came running towards her.She was really pretty and untidy too.She held a small black doll that she handed to Maria.Maria smiled broadly at the simpering child as she hid away.She ran slowly towards the child's direction as she smirked and giggled afar.Maria had no sooner ran to give the child her doll than her phone rang."They're here."

Scar,on immediate glance,called her forward and whispered inaudible words.

She left and stepped outside the camp,"Men, OPERATION DOWNFALL"
