Hard Knocks

Chapter 12 " untitled"

Rock

" Com'on Rock !" I looked back seeing the cop I shot.

I didn't mean to.

I Hopped in the truck as Evan pulled off quickly.

I can't believe I just did that.

My heart pounded against my chest. I felt like it was gone pop out from how hard it was beating.

********************
" yo look at all this money" Petey said

We were back at our meet up spot which was a abandon house.

" yo Pete whatcha gone do with this money" Evan asked counting his.

" shiiit buy me a car and go to Golden and throw it on some bitches ass"

We all laughed at him. Knowing him he was dead serious.

" what about you Rock"

" get me and my Grandma out of this city"

I swear I owe everything to her.

After we split the money we went our separate ways.

" boy where in the hell you been all day " my grandma said with her hand on her hip.

" relax I was chilling with Evan and Pete them"

" Najiel  what I told you about hanging with those fools, they aren't good for you" she said shaking her head.

" I know grandma but we haven't been doing nothing" I said calmly

" ok whatever you say"

I let out a breath thinking  she was going to continue to question me.

I walked to my room cutting on the tv.

I took off my book-bag looking at all the money that was in it.

" JUST IN THREE SUSPECTS ARE ON THE RUN AFTER ROBBING A BANK DOWNTOWN DETROIT"

I watched on the tv screen as they played the video of the robbery taken place.

" ALSO FROM SOURCES A POLICE ON DUTY WAS SHOT BUT HE WILL SURVIVE"

After listening to that I turned off my tv.

I knew shit was about to get real.

Nia

Today was my off day I figure I'll spend it with Ms. Brenda.

She was a sweet old lady that I met when I  first move to Detroit.

I grabbed my left overs from yesterday I had packed for her since she claims the food at her retire home doesn't be seasoned.

" hey Ms. Nia , you here to see Mrs. Brenda"

" yes ma'am"

" she's been waiting for you"

I have been so busy I have missed a few days, but hope fully some chicken enchilada and a slice of red velvet cake make-up for it.

" Mrs Brenda you have a visitor"

" oh really ?"

I reveal myself seeing the bright smile on her face.

" heyyyy baby com'on in"

The reception left us after I fully came in.

" hi Mrs. Brenda" I said hugging her.
