“We just have to be extra careful now.” I tell him. “That man is a slime. A f*****g snake and you should have crushed him the last time he f****d up and was on his knees begging for his life like a little cunt.” Leo says distastefully. My best friend. He has no patience for people he considers dishonest. That’s how he is. We are different in a way. Where I feel we can use Hector. Sometimes you have to play smart too. It’s all a game. “Leo, for now he has a purpose. There’s a reason I am keeping him alive. It’s like a board game. Everyone has a purpose in it.” I smile at him. “Okay... whatever you say smarty pants.” He grins. I laugh. Taking me back to when we’re just children living in oblivion of the reality of our lives. We would play during the day, we went to separate schools
