After that abomination Danny and Ricky put together, we've had big backlash.We got warned that some guys from upstate will be paying us a visit, we'll this got some of us paranoid.Me and James drove the streets, on our way to buy some Donuts, for his family.We drove to the shop as we walked in, I remember a beautiful woman sitting down waiting eating a blue frosted sprinkle donut.Her lushes Piercing brown eyes with that blonde hair, she don't look naturally blonde though.Well this caught me off guard as James ordered a dozen.Out of no where our car exploded outside, breaking the windows inside the shop.It made us cover as we looked back to see our true sign.I knew this was those upstate cunt making their presence be known, what scared is if they meant for us to be in that explosion or not, the suspense is deadly.
After this all we quickly got back to the apartments to see Ellie in the front of the apartments smoking a cigarette.
"You alright Ellie ?" I ask as he starts to tear up a bit.
"Whoa what's wrong ?" I ask as he takes a second to answer.
"It's Ricky, god they killed em …." He says as I am in confusion.
"What the hell you talking about ?" I ask furiously as I enter the apartments and go into Ellie's home.James stays with Ellie outside to comfort him as I see in the room is Danny and Marvin.
"The hells going on !" I yell as Marvin says
"Just sit down …" I stay standing as I angrily yell "no where the hells Ricky, what the hell is Ellie saying out there ?" I say as they look at each other and sigh.
"Danny sent Ricky to go buy a cake as surprise to Ellie but I guess on the way there they gunned him down.It was just on the news, they sprayed him dead, shot in face so badly the coroner threw up when seeing him. "
He says all this as I'm in a rage but I gotta understand as well, it's all part of the game.This crazy little thing we call "life " comes to end for those in this life.Marvin was right when he said we won't all make it to 30.
"His grandmothers coming soon to setup his funeral, we're not invited she said, out of respects well oblige but we'll have our farewell to Ricky …." He says as Danny says to me as I'm standing around the room defeated.
"Listen Dalton, The kids around the neighborhood have said they're willingly to go to war for us and I know with what is it now ? At least the main groups of this place have agreed to have a meeting with us …." He says as Marvin adds on
"Yea they'll give us recognition, since that heist we pulled, they got our attention and see what we can do …"
I man up a bit and fix my posture.
"These upstate fuckers, how many you think there are out there, looking for us ?" I ask as Marvin says
"Well the guys I spoke too said not many but they do damage, but they've agreed to stop for now as they've gotten blood for blood with Ricky …."
He all take a gander as I finally say
"Alright, when are we going ?" Ask until we're interrupted with noise outside.Keep in mind it's the afternoon as sirens are outside.It's the police raiding the apartments.Ellie by then went for a walk alone as James stood outside to think of life.We all got busted and arrested, Ellie thankfully got left alone.We could wonder how the hell did these upstate cunts get us locked up ? Well they didn't.They've dated us back to a couple months ago, apparently this guy Marvin and Ricky were hustling for money.He got to big mouth about it and told one of his relatives about it, this relative was friends with the mayor.Very close friends, with that they've got us on some extortion charges.Well we got sentenced to 5 years, special thanks to the mayor for that.
It was hell in here, those guys that live like kings are lying to you.This place was hidden from the world, talking this type of life we got.In here we're nobody's with a lot of money on us, easy targets.Me and Marvin got set in the same block as the James and Danny got another.During lunch time, our first month here a man tried to step to Marvin.
"Hey sweetie, I'll take that !" He says as he takes the cornbread from Marvins tray.Marvin knew can't allow this as he gets up and slams his tray on the man.The fight breaks out as Marvin swings over and over until gaurds break it up.
I just made sure no one jumped in as I saw a man approach.I shove him away as I continued to watch.They took them both away as you'd get back to Danny and James.Danny annoying at times but hell he can talk a firefighter into burning his home down.He started a little gang with James as he's sides with the Bunch of black guys.They all respected him and he respected them due to James being a bit on the dark side himself.God they were living fine but me and Marvin were still figuring this out.Time will pass for us and I think we'll have a clean slate soon enough.
Four Months, Seven days, we've been here for that long.They saw Danny as mentally unstable and sent him out for "treatment".If you wonder why it's because he attacked a guard for "making fun of his mother ….".Even people around siding hear the guard mouth a thing, seems bizarre.James still held his own with his little group and me and Marvin are doing decent.Marvin seems like public enemy number one in here, he's gotten some enemies.Marvin has requested access to a guitar for weeks now and finally he got himself a 6-string acoustic one.Me and him were in our cells, he started singing up his own blues.I thought he was good but others around didn't as some yelled for him to
"Shut the hell up !" This angered him as he went to bed that night frustrated.The morning next was a doozy, changed us all.Ellie wrote to me and told me we've still got money pouring from Ron's connections and a New Mexico Connect.I had faith in Ellie when we get out but only time will tell.Me and Marvin were in line to get food as a man cut Marvin in line.
"You better get back in line boy …" he said as the man hovered over him and said
"What if I don't pretty boy, you gonna sing me away ?" He said as others laughed around.Marvin feeling embarrassed, he starts to fight the man.They wrestled around as I kept watch no one intervened.Marvin always said never fight my battle just keep an eye out for the retaliation.I didn't keep my eyes peeled for the man he was fighting as he pulled out a shank and stabbed Marvin repeatedly.I tried to get in but these two men dragged me back and started beating on me.
"Let em fight or you're next !" Yelled a man to me as I stood there dazed from the beating.All I could do is see Marvin bleed with a smile.Guards came in and stopped the fight and ordered ad all back away and get in the ground.They took away the man aggressively as they called for medical assistance for Marvin.I still feel that he felt I wasn't there for him that day, in his mind and perspective, he felt I let him down.
We lost Marvin as from the day on, we all changed as news spread of his death.Danny got brought back out and acted like a man of god now.Four months and seven Days was the breaking point.
