right?
_ No man. side and hurts his leg ....
_ do not you wait here? - Suggests Pepper _ I can go to Half-Pint. _
Ok, thanks, I'm going to sit on the steps. A group of Cobras come walk:
Lurch, Chise, Baby-C, Eddy et al. I greet you, Baby-C asks: What
_
Rico, what are you doing here
_ Nothing, taking soft, waiting for Pepper and Half-Pint.
chatted for a while, my mind is not anywhere, day I seem to blur, as if falling into a great chasm .... What I'll be doing tomorrow? the next day? next year? Fro
I see in the acwas in front, Baby-C looks in the same direction, almost like reading my mind tells me:
_Fro told us, is giving up, goes to live with relatives in Texas. _Ha
spent many adventures with us, "adds Lurch.
_ Yes I know, he will return .... _ I say as I cross the street to Fro
_ What's New Fro, where are you going?
_ to the house of an aunt, I'll put a few things in a suitcase. _
really are you going? _
Yeah man, yesterday the police came to my house to arrest without cause, because I've only been there. Since I left prison, I returned not religious or anything like that, but while I was in prison, used to go to church to talk. We keep talking, I asked if I have rolling papers, I say no
_ You can ask each Lurch? this is the last case that I'm going to smoke. Fro Insurance
_
expects
aquí_
I get up, walk about 10 meters to where Lurch, I ask the papers, just as looking into their pockets, we heard gunshots, a car passes and we shoot, trying to cover and dodge bullets, some cobras start shooting the car, then things settle down, everyone begins to speak, with papers in my hand I laugh Lurch by the way have jumped without thinking Fro, heard the sirens approaching towards us :
_ now what? Baby C says
_ _
One of the young cobrascomes running and says
_ Hey, these bananas killed Fro!
words out of his mouth, do not make sense, can not be! I could not move ... I could not think ... it seemed as if frozen but
heart beating very fast, very strong, so that I could almost hear my blood ... I felt someone hit me:
_ Hey Rico, you feel good? _
was Eddy.
_ Yes, I'm fine
_ I look at the papers, a few minutes ago I was sitting next to Fro ... Now everyone will see, I too, is incredible, he looked almost happy, at peace, lying on the floor with one arm outstretched and the other covering the wound in his stomach, was bathed in sn to me saying:
Rico _ Do not worry, this is not going to be so, we'll give you a terrible revenge!
This seems to be a matter more personal to them. Fro's death has shaken me
lot! Why? I've seen and I've spent so many things, beatings, shootings, murders, stabbings, then why it affects me so much?
road in amazement, Pepper out of no where and gives me the bike
_ I'm Rico, come from?
_ I do not know ...
_ Go home, do not look so good ....
ascending to the bike and go, I decide to walk two blocks, it's dark and it is a cool night, not many people outside, mostly girls, veterans on porches, children,and people on the porch, my sister? no, it's too late for them, my dad would never stay out at this time ... As I approached, I see better, my thoughts are focused on Fro, not my surroundings, fatal error for a gangster!
hear a gunshot and a car then I feel like pulling my arm and feel a sharp pain, I'm flying through the air, and try to find a hiding to protect, the dust of wind hit my face, leaves of shrubs are carried by the wind. The cats try to hide, they sound more shots I feel my hand jumps, while watching the car is dark blue also shoot someone and then leaves.
I get up, someone comes to me, is Shorty:
_ you okay?
_ Yes, I'm fine ...
The look is light in my house are my parents, shooting broke a window. Take me in, Shorty takes my hand gun and hides it, my mother takes off his jacket, just now I realize that I'm hurt, my mother began to despair and mourn my old usually a pillar of strength, trembling, have tears in my eyes, my sisters get up and see me .... also begin to mourn, pick up the phone for an ambulance:
_ _ Not yet
say I look around, my brothers, Shorty and Don are here, I had not seen the beginning. My arm is as if asleep, my dad cleans the blood:
_ If the bullet had penetrated a little more, we would haveEsito and more ....
An idea took shape in my head ... I take everything I have grass and dirt:
_ How can I get around, at this time? There are 3 ounces of powder and 13 weed, look, give me what they can now, the rest I give to my sister, ok?
much? _ I ask you again.
_ What's plan to do?
_ Nothing, I just need some cash, that's all, how the grass and coke? Say a
_ _
insist cantidad_ 4 tickets for every pound of grass, cocaine, let's say you sell it, divide it into 3 parts, me give it to my sister, you say? close the deal? we are friends, help me with this, ok? _This
well
Riven are there, waiting ...
Again I go, I can do? I will resist the "call of the jungle?"
The bus starts moving, my heart starts to beat faster, pumping blood to my head and sending vibrations into my body.
"Get off the bus" seems to say, "this is your home", I hear in my mind. The bus moves faster, I start to sweat. I can not sit nor stand, I move, I look around, it's dark, look out the window, the familiar streets are disappearing, I do not know what the future holds, but whatever it is, can not be worse than the future as in street gangs. I begin to see trees and more trees, my future is out there, but it depends on me ifis bright or bleak.
Someone turns on the radio, I hear one of my favorite songs, never paid much attention to the meaning of the lyrics, but now seems to tell me: is "Stairway to Heaven" (The Way to Heaven) by Led Zeppelin:
There are many paths you can take, but there's always time to change you have made.
