Chapter 27: Sure Thing

"You heard from her? Dreux asked

"She called earlier, but honestly I don't feel like talking" he said.

"You know what let's break in" Ricky said putting on his mask. Dreux put on his mask turning the ignition off. They walked up to his house looking around, they made their way to his back porch. Ricky saw that the doors were open with Dustin on the phone. He walked closer to see a side camera. Ricky placed his hand over the home camera turning it inward. Dreux leaned out a little to see a woman laid out on his bed. "Yo do you see this shit? Dreux whispered. Ricky took his gun out walking in front of Dreux. He made his way to the porch walking directly in front of the screen door. Dustin jumped screaming instantly. Ricky placed his gun up "GET YO ASS IN HERE" he yelled. Dreux made his way in taking out his gun. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? PLEASE" Dustin begged. "SHUT YO BITCH ASS UP" Ricky yelled pressing the gun to his head. Dreux went to check on the girl to see that she was sleep, the fact that she wasn't alert enough to wake up said it all. "GO TO THE BATHROOM NIGGA" Ricky instructed. "YOU LIKE RAPPING WOMEN HUH? "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? He asked. "SHUT THE FUCK UP" he hit him with the gun making him fall to the ground. "Ahhhh" Dustin groaned in pain. "You hurt my woman, and now I gotta hurt you. Didn't anybody ever teach you no means no? He asked punching him. "Huh? "You like punching and drugging women? He punched him again as Dustin pleaded for his life. "I'm sorry man, look-

"You don't get it, maybe I should cleanse your brain for you" Ricky pulled him by his head banging it on the toilet cement. He then dunked his head in the toilet drying to drown him. "Yeah shit caught up to you today, sorry aint enough mothafucka" he lifted his head so he could breathe. "I should get a nigga in here to rape you. I know some niggas that would love it" he said. "NO NO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" he gasped for air. Ricky smiled dunking his head back in the toilet. "Fucking useless piece of shit" he pulled his face out of the toilet. He fell to the ground coughing up blood. "The only reason I ain't kill you, cuz my girl got a heart" he kicked him in his stomach. "You better resign from your position mothafucka, or I'll kill you next time" he said Ricky turned off the light walking in his bedroom to see Dreux on the phone. "They coming to take her to the hospital, make sure she good" he said. "Cool" he said angrily looking at her. He wanted to save her now but it would be too much of a risk. They quickly got back in the car pulling off. "You good? Dreux asked. "I will be" Ricky said. Dreux snatched the camera off the home taking it with him.

"So you went out on a date with him and he attacked you? Morgan asked as I sat on her bed. My plan was to take her to school, check on my father, and to go back to work. "He tried to rape me" I explained. "I'm sorry" she frowned hugging me. "Its okay, I'm gonna be okay" I smiled as she let go. "Listen to me, I know you're not at that age yet but never leave your drink unintended at a party or dinner date. You go to the bathroom before your dinner date, always meet up with the guy at the date, never go to his house until you truly know him... and most importantly never let a man disrespect you ever Morgan. He hits you, you leave. He talks down on you leave, stand your ground... these little boys at your school want to pick on you and talk crazy to you. Give it right back to them" I explained. She nodded "Men respect you once you stand up for yourself.... but I'll get into that conversation later" I said getting up. "Did you tell Mr. Ricky what happened? She asked as we walked out her room. I sighed "Yes, he knows. I think I kind of pissed him off the other day" I said feeling bad. Ricky has been trying and I haven't taken the time to appreciate his efforts. I have been a little mean to him and I guess I should apologize. I turned on Jhene Aiko- Surrender to get me going. I looked over at Morgan sadly looking out her window. "You okay sissy? I asked concerned me just having a really bad week has me feeling like shit. "Yeah, I'm fine just thinking about a lot" she said
