I sat in my chair rocking it slowly while listening to a country side music, I have always hated Mondays, it was always hectic.my boys had to deliver goods, grocery shopping and some contract to sign and I also had to work out.
I looked at the time it was almost Five PM, Alen wasn't back it was weird he never stayed out so late, he left early this morning to deliver some drugs to my client, on normal days I don't permit him to be part of my illegal distribution, but I had to since Macho my best and most trusted man was wounded last week Thursday by street Boys on raid, they cops has been frequenting our area, my delivery boys had to lay low and non agreed to run deliver for me today in order not to be caught, Alen my younger brother volunteered to deliver it himself because it was big cash and we couldn't afford to miss this and since I took care of all his bills and made sure he was comfortable he has always wanted to help me out in one way or another and moreover who will suspect an innocent looking nineteen year old boy? definitely not the cops.
I prepared rice and spicy turkey for dinner while listening to a classic music and smoking my blunt. I smoked quite a lot it was bad I know but it helped calm my nerves cause I was always tensed and like they said you have to taste your business to know if it was so good like the clients said.
I have always had this dark personality and aura that made people I come in contact with to fear me I hardly smiled nor made friends and it might sound funny enough but I have never been in a relationship nor know what love is, Alen have had one or two dates in the past he had a lot of girls Fanning of over him in school like he always told me but he knew well enough not to bring them home, I was always indoors I had no friends, being a street lord you don't make friends, you don't show your good side or laugh with anyone and I also had to pay some certain dues to the corrupt cops for them not to investigate or put their nose in my business.
Alen Wasn't yet back I was so worried, called my client and he said Alen left immediately after the delivery, I called Alen severally and he didn't picked up, I was so tensed now had to light another smoke, I grabbed my coat if Alen wasn't back I had to go look for him,the area wasn't safe, street boys and a lot of bad people were on raid and I had a lot of opposition and enemies due to I sold the best blunt in the area with fast delivery, I earned the tittle of the most Feared and patronized drug lord in the street, you had to be very mean and brutal to maintain this title and level.
I grabbed my gun you always have to be on guard if you did street business, there was a faint noise outside like someone was breaking into my apartment I was shocked and I listened carefully, only Macho knew where I lived and he was in the hospital and I never accepted clients visiting me, my other delivery boys I don't trust them and I they always met me at a designated area, my house was secluded and I had no neighbours.
I was alert heck I have always been alert since the first day I started selling blunts and doing street jobs, suddenly there was a loud thud like something fell, I tiptoed to the door slowly and listened carefully, slowly I opened the door and peeked outside to see a human like figure holding onto the rail it was dark now and I couldn't see all the details, I slowly moved closer the person, I recognised the short brown hair, blue long sleeved dress and black cargo pants, but something was wrong the person was bleeding and there was a lot of blood stains on the dress.
Alen hunched over the rail trying to breathe and stand his face was heavily beaten and swollen, there was a lot of shallow cuts on his hand and he was bleeding profusely from his left arm Alen was shot on him arm.
I rushed towards him he looked pale and almost white like there was no more blood in him, he looked deep into my eyes and whispered "Blade is back" and my spirit left my body.
