A Fight to Finish

Chapter 20

“Dallas!” I hear my name from downstairs and I walk down lazily. I rub my eyes and look at my parents. Oh boy, they found out. “Hey mom and dad, You're back early” I smile. “What is wrong with you Dallas, the whole school thinks you're a psycho” dad says, ‘I don't care’ I say in my head. “How could you do a thing like that, you're grounded” mom says. “From when” I ask “now” “come on please, let it be from tomorrow” “why” dad asks “I have things to do today that does not involve staying at home” “fine and Tyler will be here tomorrow just incase” “thanks” “you really need to work on your temper” “I will” I say nonchalantly.

I dress up and my mind wanders back to yesterday and I can't believe Alysa's mad at me. I dial her number but she doesn't pick up. I wear black leggings and orange tank top and jog downstairs to have breakfast. If Alysa's not gonna talk to me, it's fine. I sit down to eat pancakes and oat meal. I kinda feel bad about yelling at Nick yesterday, you know the look on his face was so sad, but don't judge me, he's the reason I got suspended anyways. I see a message from Alysa, 'I won't talk to you till you apologise to Nicole, your words hurt people Dallas’. I don't understand why everyone is on Nicole's side now. I drop the phone and shrug because there's no way in hell I'll ever apologise to him. I finish my food and decide to stroll since I have nothing doing - don't mind me, I lied earlier. On the way, my phone rings and I see it's Chase, “yeah” “Dallas you need to come to the gang house now, someone's been watching you” “sure, I'm on my way” I say and he hangs up. I increase my pace and walk to the gang house. I enter and see Kendrick “hey D” “hey, I got the news” “yeah, let's go to the basement, boss is waiting there” and we go to the basement. I see two tied up to a chair. “Who're they” I ask boss. “Well this one over here was caught following you yesterday on your way home” he says pointing to the man with a crooked nose and brown hair. “While this one was caught in my office, trying to get his hands on something”. “What's your name” I ask the brown haired guy but he doesn't answer. “I asked you a question, answer me” I say and he doesn't budge. “He's a stubborn one” I say to the rest “very stubborn” Chase says. “Who sent you” he still does not answer and it starts pissing me off. “I'm talking to you” I seethe “I won't waste my time answering a kid” he says and I punch him hard on his left cheek. “A kid huh, who the f**k do you work for” “your pops” he says and I grab a gun from Chase and shoot him down. “I'll deal with this other one” boss says. I leave the basement and go outside to clear my head and I hear a noise. I follow the sound and the closer I get, I realize it's a beeping. I wonder what kind of timer that is and go to see it. “f**k!” I see it's a bomb and we have five minutes and thirty seconds left. I run to the basement and yell “everyone out, there's a bomb in here” and people being to panic. “Go, go, we have less than five minutes left” I shout. I see fat Tom trying to run but can't cause he broke his leg, I rush to help him. “No Dallas, just go” “no, I'm going to help you first” I say and throw his arm over my shoulder and move. “Hurry” someone shouts. We get to the door and as we're about to come out, his leg hits something and he falls. “Run Dallas, save yourself” he says “no, you're coming with me” I resist. “Now!” he shouts and I reluctantly step out before everywhere goes up in flames and I'm thrown forward. “Dallas, are you okay” I down my eyes and cough “yeah” I choke. I stand up and we go to where the others are, Triple p restaurant. “s**t!” boss curses, “is everyone okay” boss asks “everyone except fat Tom” I say and people curse. “We've lost fat Tom and we won't sit back and watch. The Mustangs have crossed the line and they must not get away with it. Dallas, you need to be careful, someone's out for you, if you notice any suspicious movements, alert us” boss says and I nod. “We know who the next in command to Kayler is. We got him before but he survived. He is the head of all masterminds and the one who's determined to bring us all down. He's slow and lethal” “who's he” we all ask. I can't wait to meet the motherfucker. “He's David Hugens Dexter” as the words fly out of his mouth, I feel like I'm choking, my knees become weak. No, it can't be true,I heard wrongly. “David must come to an end” Kendrick shouts “yes!” all shout. So my father is my biggest enemy, I can feel the air suffocating me. I rush out of the restaurant to catch my breath as tears pour from my eyes.
