CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Seeing dark, thick smoke pollute the air, Black Tone and Wild Child got closer to the house. They couldn’t quite tell where the fire was from the vantage point they were at, but they knew for sure it was in the general vicinity of Tone’s house. Not knowing what to expect, Wild Child had attempted to call his mother several times and had received no answer. The fact that they couldn’t get through to her since her initial call begging for help for Granny made them panic and break every law there was, such as by speeding, running red lights, and turning down one-way streets.

Though he was known for being extra tough and hard as a rock in the streets, Black Tone’s heart was breaking in a million tiny pieces while he prayed that his grandmother was not hurt. Repeatedly, he kept asking himself why he had even left her alone when he did. Especially on a day like today, when anything was poised to jump off. Less than a few blocks away, the smoke in the air got thicker, and Black Tone’s worry increased.

What in the entire fuck? Oh, hell naw! He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Amir’s family party store was up in flames. Random people were trying to dart in and out of the doors to take their chances against the flames and get whatever they could of value. Normally, Black Tone would have gotten out and checked to see where Mikey and Hassan were, since they were supposed to be posted, but at the time he had absolutely zero fucks to be given about anything that didn’t concern finding out what was going on at his own household.

Driving by Alexis’s house, he noticed her car parked in front of her house, which was unusual. One, because she always parked her vehicle in the driveway, afraid it might get sideswiped on the street, and two, because Dre was leaning on the hood, arguing with one of his boys. She would never allow her devious-minded brother even to come close to her prized possession.

As he and Black Tone made eye contact, Dre spit on the ground and folded his arms. Wild Child shook his head in disbelief that his older cousin and Dre were still carrying on the beef they had had since they were children growing up on the block. Black Tone didn’t have time for any of Dre’s petty games. He couldn’t entertain anything more than getting down the street to his own home as soon as possible.

Roaring up in front of his house, he swerved in front of his aunt’s car. Both he and Wild Child jumped out, on a mission, and bolted up onto the porch. The front door was wide open and unlocked. With guns out, the pair ran into the living room and were met by Wild Child’s mother. She was frantic. Her face was full of tears, and she could hardly breathe.

Leaving his cousin to see about his grandmother, Black Tone wasted no time heading down the hallway.
