Alpha

An arid wind blew a beige dust devil down the desolate roads of the city of San Francisco. Ribbons of orange and crimson streaked the edge of the predawn sky as another long night drew to an end. The sound of horns and sirens filled the air. The smash of glass was shattering the air filled with gunpowder as a few rounds were shot off.
Alpha is the lead gang in the city of San Francisco, the leader, Benjamin Poole swore an oath to his dying father to bring down anyone who had hurt him, and Benjamin did exactly that.

When Benjamin was 12 his father had severe cancer, and he had asked his best friend Stephan Schafer to take care of the family, now Benjamin's father, Tony Poole had a problem, a big problem, he enjoyed stealing, but stealing like a pair of socks from the supermarket, no he stole millions of dollars from banks, but nobody knew it was him except his best friend, Stephan. So when Tony was sick and in hospital Stephan took care of the family, fed them gave them money everything. One gray day Stephan visited Tony, he came in to the room where Tony was, Stephan gave him a present but looked sad while doing so, " what's the matter with you?" Asked Tony
"Just read the card!" Tony opened the present, it was a pair of knitted socks " From your wife" then Tony read the card it read:
Dear Tony,
I have been enjoying taking care of your family, they are a wonderful bunch, just the other day Benjamin said he wanted to be just like his father, I said he shouldn't because he might end up in jail, like you.

Sincerely yours Stephan Schafer.
" What does it mean end up in jail like me? I've never been to jail, those police officers couldn't do their job properly and catch me!" Tony asked with confusion.
" yet, boys!" Stephan called out in the hallway two officers came in and started reading his charges, theft, murder of an officer, and unpaid parking tickets! You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult with a lawyer and have that much lawyer present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire." Explained one of the officers, he put handcuffs on his wrists an chained them up to the beds so he can't move his arms " what about my family!" Yelled Tony trying to free himself
" I brought them here!" Explained Stephan " come on guys, come in." Stephan tells Tony's family. They walk in, Martha (Tony's wife) ran to him and started to weep Tony kissed her on the forehead " it's gonna be alright, where's my son, where's Benjamin!" Yelled Tony scanning the tiny, crowded hospital room, the room had two officers ,Stephan, Martha, Benjamin, and Tony on the bed. " here dad." Benjamin said trying to squeeze past everyone, Benjamin tried holding in his tears but he couldn't help crying. " come here my favourite boy, now listen up, I'm gonna be gone for little while, and I need you to be the man of the house for me, even though Stephan is going to be there," Tony said trying to smile " leaned closer to Benjamin and whispered " don't let anyone ever hurt you and if they do you'll get 'em back."
