Tendencies

<Thirteen>

Deuce jumps at the sound of gunshots and he quickly pushes the slut out of his bed. He stands up and looks out the window to see Charlie and a group of people staring at him. Charlie waves sarcastically and signals for his group to start firing their guns. Deuce quickly jumps to the side in time to miss a bullet firing straight at him

" Fuck!" He yells

" Come on Deuce! Don't be a little pussy!" Charlie yells

Deuce quickly grabs onto the screaming slut and uses her body as a shield as he runs past the window. He pushes her dead body onto the ground as he walks out the room. He runs down the stairs to where his second in command, Gadjet stands staring at the amount of dead bodies piled up. He slowly looks at Deuce

" We're being attacked, why aren't you doing anything?!" Deuce yells

" This was J-Dog" Gadget says looking back at the bodies. Deuce looks at each body, identifying them all as his gang members. That's when his eyes land on her

"Arina!" He yells kneeling next to his little sister. He shakes her shoulders, desperate to wake her up but her eyes don't open. He looks down her body to see a deep stab wound in her stomach, blood soaks her shirt as her lifeless eyes stare at the ceiling. "This was J-Dog?"

" Yes. I watched him leave the room" Gadget says. Deuce stands up and pushes past him to the door J-Dog went through, he walks into the weapons room and he looks around, searching for the masked man. "WHERE ARE YOU J-DOG! YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING PAY!"

"Nice to see you too Deuce. It isn't fun when someone kills someone you care about, right?" J-Dog says from the other side of the room

" What are you talking about?" Deuce says making J-Dog scoff

" You killed my best friend. Chopped him up like he's a fucking piece of worthless meat" J-Dog snaps

" I didn't touch anyone in your gang" Deuce says

" Don't fucking lie. I saw it for myself. I broke into your base last night, i saw him in the black box, arms and legs cut off and his head decapitated. You cannot lie" J-Dog yells

" It was you in my base?" Deuce asks looking at J-Dog with a glare

" Yes. I needed to find AJ and Crosses bodies. It was killing me inside. I didn't even find Cross" J-Dog snaps

" Cross?" Deuce asks. J-Dog looks at him confused as Deuce laughs. "Cross is alive J-Dog. He is on my gang"

" What?...you're lying" J-Dog says staring at him

" I'm not. You want proof?" Deuce says smirking. J-Dog hesitates before slowly nodding and Deuce reaches down to his walkie talkie. "Cross. Report to Weapons Room"

"Yes sir"

J-Dog quickly points his gun at Deuce making him jump and stare at J-Dog. Deuces shocked expression slowly changes into a smirk as he looks at J-Dog, daring him to take the shot

" Go on J-Dog, shoot me. You can't accept that your friend, your gang member killed your best friend. He betrayed you, everyone will leave you J-Dog. You will be all alone with the thoughts in your head. The ones you just got rid of" Deuce says

"Shut up" J-Dog snaps

" You hear them now right? Your father's voice, telling you to do it. Telling you to take the knife and put it to your wrists. Telling you you're not good enough" Deuce says. J-Dog closes his eyes and pulls the trigger. He opens his eyes when he hears Deuce's body fall. J-Dog quickly makes his way to the window and he starts climbing out as he hears the door opening. He looks up and freezes when he sees Cross standing there staring at him

" ...J-Dog" he quietly says. They stare at each other before J-Dog let's himself drop down onto the grass below. Danny runs up to him covered in blood

" Did you get him? I saw him follow you" Danny says

" I got him...Cross is alive" J-Dog says staring at the grass

"What?"

J-Dog looks behind him to see Charlie standing there with his gun in his hand. He slowly walks towards J-Dog

" What did you say?" Charlie asks

" Cross is alive. He's with them, he betrayed us" J-Dog says

" Did you kill him?" Charlie asks

" No" J-Dog answers

" Good. He's mine" Charlie says shoving past J-Dog and running into the building. J-Dog turns to face Danny and he sighs

" You wanna know something Danny?" J-Dog asks

" Yes?" Danny asks

" Nevermind. It doesn't matter" J-Dog says smiling before patting Danny's back. "Let's go"

Danny smiles at J-Dog confused before following him inside with his gun out. J-Dog slowly pulls his knife out and holds it in his hand as they walk through the long corridors

" Where are we going?" Danny whispers as they slowly walk

" We need to find Johnny" J-Dog whispers back as they walk into a room. They look around to see Johnny and Funny talking in the corner with Charlie

" Is it over?" Danny asks making them look over at J-Dog and Danny. They nod

" They saw Deuce and Crosses bodies and ran. We killed 3/4 of them all. They killed around 2/4 of us" Johnny says looking between J-Dog and Danny

" So we won?" J-Dog asks smiling

" We did..." Funny quietly says

" What's wrong?" Danny asks

Funny and Charlie look at Johnny. Johnny nods and they move out the way revealing Da Kurlzz tied to a chair with his throat slit

" Kurlzz!" J-Dog exclaims running to him and falling onto his knees in front of his best friend. "Kurlzz...Matt please"

" We didn't get here in enough time" Charlie says

" Matt! Nonono" J-Dog says holding his hand and leaning on his arm. "I can't lose you. Matt please. You can't leave"

J-Dog gently pulls on Matt's shirt and he fights the tears from falling down

" It's okay Jay" Johnny says pulling him up and into his chest. J-Dog clings to Johnny as he starts uncontrollably sobbing. Johnny looks over at Danny and looks at Jorel signalling him to take J-Dog back to the base

Danny pulls J-Dog close to him and starts walking out the base and through the forest
