~Trevae POV
"You wanna hang out today?" Messiah asked as we walked out of school. "Nah. I think I'm just gone head home and relax." I said. "Well let me drive you home then."
"Messiah I-" He cut me off. "That wasn't a question. Come on." He said. "Fine." I sighed. Ace's house was huge and gated so I don't know how Messiah's going to react. "Your sister stopped me yesterday. She asked about you." He said. "What'd you say?" I asked. "That I didn't know where you were." I just nodded. There was an awkward silence. "What's been up with you lately?" He asked once we approached his car. "What you mean?" I asked him.
"It's like we're complete fucking strangers now. You barely talk to me. You don't return my calls or texts. You didn't even want me to drive you home." He said. "Well we're talking now. I promise there is nothing going on with me." Before I could open the door, a car pulled up beside us. It was Khalil. "Get in." He said. "I have a ride home." I said looking at Messiah who looked confused. "I wasn't suggesting it. I need your help with something." He said. "Trevae who is this?" Messiah asked.
"I'll call you later Messiah." I said. I got in the car and Khalil sped off. "You should slow down. We're in a school zone." I said putting my seatbelt on. "Ain't no kids in the way."
"What do you need my help with?" I asked. "I need you to take me to your sister's house." He said making me raise a brow. "The hell, why?"
"So I can talk to her." He said. "Talk to h- you're not going to kill her are you?" I said. "Not unless you want me to." He said looking over at me. "Fuck no. Why would I want you to kill my sister?"
"Just give me the directions." He said stopping at a red light. "No."
"I can find it with or without you. I just want to have a heart to heart." He said. "Make a right." I mumbled.

We pulled up to her house. "Stay in the car and lock the door. If anybody comes fucking with my shit honk the horn three times." He said getting out. I locked the door like he said.
~Ace POV
I walked up to the house knocking on the door. A few seconds later, a dude opened it. "Can I help you?" He asked. "No." I said walking past him. "Aye nigga who the fuck told you to come in here."
"Rufus who did you let in here?" A girl said walking in. "You April?" I asked. "Damn this pussy got random niggas coming here." She laughed making a mug come across my face. "Yes. I'm April. What can I do for you?" I pulled out my gun aiming it at her. "Woah. What the fuck are you doing!" She said with her hands up. "You got a kick out of that shit didn't you." I scoffed. "What are you talking about?" She said with a shaky voice.
"Your sister, Trevae. You let people touch her so you could get high. What kind of weirdo does that shit to they family." I said shaking my head. "Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Those men were paying my bills." She said. "You fucking lucky she told me not to kill you." I scoffed. "How do you even know my sister?"
I cocked the gun back. "This is a warning. If I ever see you around Trevae again. I will come back and pull the fucking trigger." I said putting the gun between her eyes. "Khalil what the fuck." I turned around seeing Trevae at the door. "Mark my words." I said looking back at April. I put the gun down walking back to my car. Trevae got back in. "What the hell did you do that for?" She said. "What? I did what you said, I didn't kill her." I shrugged. "You walked into her house uninvited and put a gun to her head. What if she calls the cops on you?"
"You sound worried."
"I'm not worried. I just don't want any cops involved." She said. "Cops never get involved in my line of business. Unless somebody got the balls to get them involved." I said. "And what exactly is your line of business?" She asked. "Sell drugs. Kill people." I said making her eyes widen. "YOU KILL PEOPLE! HOW ARE YOU NOT IN JAIL!" She yelled. "Lower your voice when you talking to me lets start there. I don't kill innocent people. I kill people who play with my money, or play with the people I love. Sometimes I kill because I'm bored. I'm trigger happy." I said.
"You are insane." She said shaking her head. "I'm not that insane if you're still in my car." I said pulling off. "Whatever."
**Few Hours Later**
~Trevae POV
I was in my room doing my homework when I heard Jayda yelling my name. I walked out seeing what she wanted. "Yes?" I said. "Um your friend is outside." She said. "Friend?" I asked. "He said his name is Messiah." I shook my head walking to the door. "Messiah what the hell are you doing here? And how did you find me?" I said. "I followed you and that guy after school. Why did he take you back to your sisters house?" He asked. "He was handling something. Look you got to go." I said. "Why? I just want to talk."
"Because he'll be back any minute and I don't know how he's going to feel about some random showing up at his house." I said. "Oh, so now I'm some random?" Messiah scoffed. "To him you are."
"Trevae stop. Do you even know this dude. He's living in a big ass mansion with six cars out here and a fucking fountain in the front of his house." He said. "I told you. He's my cousin." I said. "Really. Cause I went back to April's house myself and she said he isn't your cousin. So tell me who the fuck this nigga is." He said. "I don't know him. Is that what the fuck you want to hear. He found me sleeping on a park bench and took me in." I said. "You're staying with a stranger."
"I like it here. Khalil treats me like a little sister and so does Jayda. I'm safe here, trust me." I said. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Yes Messiah. I'm not your problem anymore."
"Fine. But can you please stop ignoring my calls." He said. "Okay." I looked over Messiah's shoulder seeing Khalil pulling in. "Dammit." I said. "Who this?" Khalil said getting out the car. "This is my best friend, Messiah." I said. "Cool. I'm having a few people over here to talk business so when you get in the house stay in yo room." He said walking past us. I guess he didn't care about Messiah.
**
"I'll see you later. I'm going out with some friends." Jayda said peeking her head in my room. "Okay." It was going on six and I was bored out of my mind. I had to stay in my room because of Khalil and his friends. At this point I didn't care. If he gets mad, he gets mad. I walked out the room creeping down the hall. I went out into the living room but there was no one there. Did he make me stay in my room for no reason. I hear talking going on from a distance. I looked down another hall seeing a set of glass double doors. I snuck down standing on the side. I could hear their conversation. I peeked my head out a little so I could see.
"The hell you mean its not that big a deal? This the third time my damn money went missing this week." A dude said. "Kendrick chill out. We gone find out who it is." Another dude said. "Oh yeah Rondo? And what makes you so fucking sure of that?" He said. I'm assuming he was Kendrick. "Because we will." Rondo said.
"I think it's Kendrick." The third guy said making everyone look at him. "Darrell you must be out yo mind." Kendrick said. "Am I? You about to leave why not take what's left?" The Darrell dude said. "What the fuck would I need this damn money for. I make my own shit." Kendrick said. "And you crazy as hell to even think he would do some goofy shit like that." Khalil said. "Maybe it's you then."
"Don't make me whoop yo ass." Khalil said. "Darrell you buggin out right now." Rondo said. "Okay well then it's you." Darrell said. "Yeah you losing yo mind." Kendrick said shaking his head. "Look. We all blown as fuck right now and tired. We'll get back on this tomorrow." Khalil said standing up walking to door. Fuck. I ducked off to the side waiting for everyone to come out. Once they walked to the front door, I ran back to my room. I got under the covers scrolling on my phone.
A few seconds later my door opened. "Come on." Khalil said. "Where we going?"
"To get some food." I got out the bed putting my slides on. I walked out following him to his car.
**
"Darrell is the one stealing your money." I said breaking the silence in the car. "What?" He said looking over at me. "I came out my room for some water and overheard y'all talking." I said. "You ain't overhear shit if we was on the other side of the house." He said. "Okay, I went to listen. Regardless of that, he's the one taking y'all money. How is that not obvious." I said. "You don't even know Darrell. What makes you so sure he's the one stealing?"
"Because he's playing the blame game. He's trying to throw eyes off himself by blaming other people. He's obviously not good at it." I said. "Y'all are dumb if you can't see that."
"You calling me dumb?" He asked. "I'm calling you blind. Look into it, I promise you he's the rat."
