Beneath The Bad.

Chapter 11. Decent Into Darkness.

They all gathered in the yard, Reed had something he wanted to say. Alex's eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity as he stood amidst the gang. His broad shoulders and chiseled jawline seemed chiseled from granite, a testament to his unyielding resolve. The boy who once hesitated was now a man consumed by the gang's brutal code.

“Listen up everyone, we've got a problem, The rival crew's been encroahing on our turf. Its time to show them who's boss, who's incharage here". Reed said with so much determination.

Alex's gaze locked into Reed, his expression shows a mask of ruthless determination. He knew what was coming- bloodshed, chaos, and the gangs unrelenting grip on the city.

The night air was electric with tension as the gang descended upon the rival crew's hangout. The clash was brutal, bullets flying all over, some were hit others were injured.

Going up to one of the rooms, one of them was distracted, he was to busy with a lady that he didn't know there was chaos downstairs. Alex just put a bullet through his head, the lady screamed all over the place, immediately using the bedsheets to cover herself, and pleaded with Alex to please spare her life.

But without thinking twice, he shot her directly in the head too and moved on to the next room.

After the whole m******e, the rival gang's leader was brought to his knees by Kia in front of Reed.

“If you only stayed in your lane all these wouldn't have happened, but no! , you wanted to be leader, you wanted to overtake Me!!!". Reed's eyes beeming with anger. “Alright, how about you beg, beg for your life and I might as well let you go”.

But He was to proud to beg, instead he looked at Reed directly into to eyes, with his bruised face and broken lips and said “f**k you”. This made Reed so mad. “I was going to put a bullet through your heart, you know, to end your suffering already but, why don't we spice things up...?”

Kia and the rest cheered, they actually hyped this idea. But Alex stayed quiet, he just watched everything, he wasn't lousy like the rest.

With just an eye contact to David, he understood what he had to do, he dragged the rival gang's leader to the back of one of their truck, opened the trunk and yanked out a thick coarse rope. With ruthless efficiency, David bound his hands in front, the rope biting into his skin like a snake's grip. The other end of the rope was tied to the truck's tow hitch, securing him to the vehicle like a sacrificial animal.

David's face twisted into a snarl as he climbed into the driver's seat and started it. He started slowly, making him run after the truck as the rope drew him forward. Then David's madness kicked in, he started driving so fast that he couldn't keep up running, his legs began to roll on the ground.

The world became a blur of asphalt for the rival gang's leader as David drove in fast merciless circles, dragging him behind like a rag doll.

His screams were drowned by the truck's engine, his body battered by the unforgiving sandy road. The rope dug dipper into his skin, his wrist burning with a fire that seemed to sear his every soul.

With Reed's signal, the truck finally came to a stop, its engine sputtering to silence. David came down with a smirk of cruelty on his face.

At last, Alex's gang had nothing to worry about at least for now, as the body of the rival gang's leader lied lifelessly on the floor, tangled between the robe.

“Cut that bastard off our truck and let's get out of here, this whole killing has made me exhausted and hungry” Reed said as he walked to the other car that him and Kia drove in with.

David cut the rope and they all drove out leaving all the bodies scattered everywhere in the compound.
