_ack_ walks down the cold windy street. His trench coat blows open while the leaves twist across the side walk. The streets are full of action and paved of gold for those who know how to make power moves. A bum is resting or dying on the sidewalk next to a dark alley. He looks up and clears his throat, "Hey mister you don't look like you're from around these parts."
"So whats it to ya?"
"You don't look like you've been doing to good around here. " The bum gave off a laugh that damn near made his lungs come up from the terrible cough he had. "I'm just one of the locals," he replied. "You look like you could use a place a to warm up, I'd suggest the bar two blocks up."
"Oh yeah and why would you suggest that?"
"It's full of beautiful women thats why!"
-ack- cracks a slight smile. "I appreciate the heads up maybe I'll stop in for a spell."
"Hey do a old friend a favor and grab me a whiskey out the store here for my cough so I can get better."
Should of known you can't get something for nothing not even a greeting, _ack_ thought to himself as he shook his head. Pulling a dollar from my pocket, he tossed it to him as he said, "Here's a dollar go get yourself."
_ack_ walks off and no sooner than he does, a car pulls up and two hoodlums jump out one carrying a bat and the other one has his hands his pockets. They walk slowly towards him as his body stiffens.
"So you thought we'd forget about the debit you owe?" The one with the bat says as they continue walking towards him. He swings the bat slowly back and forth, not taking his eyes off of _ack_.
"Well think again its time to pay up or get fucked up!" Says the young hood with his hands in his pockets.
"You have me confused with someone else, I have no clue who you are and I owe no one nothing!" _ack_ says as he tries to dredge from his memory what these thugs could be talking about.
"I was hoping you'd say that!" He says as he pulls a blade from his pocket and takes a jab, catching _ack_ in the side. _ack_ swings and connects his fist with the hoodlums chin, grabbing his side in pain as he does so. The hood falls to the ground, yelling for his friend to finish the job. He runs toward _ack_ with the bat but before he gets close enough _ack_ pulls out his gun and lets off three shots. Two hit him and one hits the other chump.
_ack_ stands there a moment staring at them. "Shit are they dead? What the fuck is going on and who are they?" He moves closer to the one that stabbed him and grabs him my the collar. He stares him straight in the eye as the punk says,
"You can't run from us we'll find you. You'll pay with your life for this!"
"It looks like you'll be paying first".
_ack_ puts the barrel in his mouth. BANG! The streets are covered in blood and people are looking and pointing. Sirens sound in the distance. A whistle blows.
"Freeze! Don't move!"
'Shit I gotta get out of here!' _ack_ thinks to himself as he runs and jumps in the car and steps on the gas.
The police begin to shoot as _ack_ flees the seen.
My side is burning like hell he got me good! I'm bleeding real bad where the fuck am I'm going? What have I got myself into?
