What in the...?
Xavier's thoughts were jumbled up. Sure he heard rumors about the Black Blood gang. Who doesn't? Rumors says that the B.B. was lead by a woman But who thought it would be a girl? She even seemed younger than him. 2 years maybe.
"...Guys I think He's in shock." He heard Sam's voice as he sat in shock. The heard another unfamiliar laugh.
"What's wrong dude?" Guy 1 said.
"I remember when Sammy here just came." Guy 2 said and then the rest started laughing, and that put me out of shock.
"wait. What happened? " I asked, the guys all look at me before Guy 1 explained to me.
"You see.. Sammy here-" Guy 1 who's name still don't know ruffled Sam's hair and pin him in a headlock. "-He asked us if he could join so we let him. Then we brought him here and when he met the l-leader h-he.." then he released Sam and cracked up laughing.
"He came at the wrong time.." Guy 2 cut in, snickering. What's so funny? Xavier thought as Guy 2 continued. "He was wondering around even when we told him to stay put. He then came across Alec and Boss's training session..*pfft* Alec t-then.. accidentally misfire when he was loading his magazine and fired at the door where Sam was! Well just a scratch. But he screamed like a girl when he was hit! Ahh.. He fainted too! Good time.. good time.." the guys all patted Sam's shoulder or back while Sam scowled at them. "ever since he became Alec's target buddy. Misfires always went to him for some reason" Gotta admit. That was pretty funny. Not. Xavier was snickering too while Annalissa just sat there stoic.
"Haha. Very funny. Laugh at Sam's miserable entrance." Sam said sarcastically in a third person tone.
"But you gotta admit, he fainted cuz' a 8 year old shot him near his head, and it was just a scratch!" Guy 1 howled out.
"..um. what time is it?" suddenly remembering his situation. Sam looked up his iPhone and faced Xavier with a worried expression.
"..11.30pm?" Shit! He thought as he jumped out of the couch. Mum's gonna kill me! But he was restrained by a small hand that held her arm. Small But firm. He couldn't budge from her grip, her eyes bore into his.
"...Don't. " Annalissa warned. Her eyes narrowed into slits at him as her grip tightened.
"No! Let go of me!" he screamed, trying to pry from her tight grip. But only to freeze when he felt and saw guns all pointing at them. Annalissa then stood up, though shorter to his 6"5' with her 5"9', she came out intimidating than every other muscular guys in the room. Her eyes reflected his. But all he saw in them was nothing.
"Listen good, Xavier Collins. I will let you free if and only if you abide my conditions." she said in a cold tone that even some of the guys flinched. After a pause, Xavier slowly nodded. Annalissa leaned in until their face was only inches apart when she spoke.
"1. You will not tell anyone about this encounter and my identity. " he nodded again. "2. Stay out of our gang business. And you'll avoid this-" she pointed between them "again." he nodded again. Annalissa pulled back from him and held her free hand up in a halt position as the others put down their guns. "And 3.don't even try to find information about me. Got it?" "Yeah..." then she let him go, beckoning Sam over to them.
"you'll take him home. I'm sure he'll need his company. " then she stepped away from them and went to the door. But just before she left, she turned to the others. "remember the rules boys. One mistake-" she let the sentence hang as she motion a straight line to her neck with her hand, meaning 'you're dead'. Xavier could feel everyone visually gulped as she left.
"come on man. Let's go." Sam said, pushing Xavier with his hand to his back as they too left. Xavier suddenly turned to Sam and asked: "What did she meant by rules?"
Sam sighed. "The boys can party all they want, which is everyday. Only if they clean up off themselves. And not to make too much noise that would wake up the boss. Since she sleeps on the 4th floor with her brother, but you know how parties are.. loud and annoying." he nodded and stopped at the garage.
"Your bike is here. We picked it up with your things when they hauled you here." Sam explained his unspoken question, and went to his bike but Sam stopped him and hauled him to the truck the carried his bike. "you don't want to be deaf by your mum right? Come on." and they piled into the truck. it was an uncomfortable silence between them when Xavier suddenly spoke up.
"when did you joined them?"
"A little before I met you, like 1 year ago or something.. When did you start becoming a streetfighter? " Xavier looked out of the window and replied.
"since I was 16, that means 2 years ago... I guess." How did he know? He thought.
"I'm in a gang. I saw one of your fights too." he looked to Sam with a puzzled expression until it clicked.
"I thought out loud, didn't I?" Sam only nodded, a moment later, they reached his house. The moment they got off the truck, the door to his house slammed opened. Revealing his mother with her fists on her hips, who is right now, the scariest person to face.
"XAVIER JAMES COLLINS! Why are you back so late?!" his mom yelled, making them cringed in result. She has a set of lungs. Sam thought, staring at her silently. She was about to continue when she saw Sam who silently waved, catching her gaze. "Sam, why are you here?" she questioned.
"sorry Mrs. Collins, I asked Xavier to meet me up for some things, I didn't realise it was late, so I apologize in his stead." His voice was sincere, bowing slightly. Quite the actor. He thought to Sam. If he wasn't there before, he would've believed him too. His mother obviously was charmed and believed his lies as she step forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you Sam, I guess Xavier could go unpunished this time since he helped you out.... Anyway, would you like to stay over? " She asked But Sam kindly decline.
"I'm sorry But I have to be going, it's none seeing you Mrs. Collins. " Sam said as they went to the back of the truck to pull out Xavier's bike and left with a goodbye. But not before whispering something into Xavier's ear.
Exhausted, Xavier went to his room almost immediately and threw his bags on the floor. His room was average. With carpet ground and lime green walls surrounding him, his room was unusually clean for a boy. But he didn't pay attention as he crashed his bed head first. Thinking about how this day went. From his usual fights to get captured by gang members. He felt his eyelids becoming heavy as he fell asleep But remembering Sam's departing words from before..
"meet me after school at the gym."
