chapter 43

                           T.K didn't get a chance to thank Sweeper so he distributed out the mask to his crew. "I'll see ya'll boys tomorrow," says T.K as he leaves out the hideout headed to Draco's car. The guys pull up to Travis's house trying to be quiet this time because Travis's dad is home from work. They both look at each other and back at the house simultaneously fearing for the worse. Draco pulls out into the street and backs his car down the side of the house's to hide his car from the opps. They both get out of the car to head into the house just incase their plan went sour.

                         They came through the door with innocent demeanors as the Kash family sat in the living room watching the new t.v. They were watching the news, " No suspect has been taken into custody as of now. Magnolia Police asks if anyone has any information pertaining to this on going investigation to contact "Crime Stoppers Anonymous," The Kash family had just got done watching the news report about Choppa and his crew being slaughtered like they were nothing. "Besides these shootings I do have some good news since everyones here," says Travis's dad. "I got a promotion today to Crew Supervisor, a raise and a bonus thats how I got the t.v". Mr. Kash stood tall pulling up his pants and say's,"I guess my boss sees my hard work after all these years!"

                         "Baby that's amazing,"  Mrs. Kash says while wrapping her arms around Mr. Kash. "We should go grocery shopping and baby go get that dress you keep looking at online," says Mr. Kash. Travis smiles and walks towards the door wit Draco. "Hell I wish my momma and daddy stop shooting at each other and be like yours. Maybe i could go home an stay out da trenches", says Draco. "Wishful thinking though, I guess I'll keep mopp'in down these blocks, runnin up this bag".

                         They both go to the Charger to grab their Micro Dracos so they can sit on the porch and smoke a blunt together. "Aye, since i got a lil money now Draco let me buy a half of dat Gelato you be smok'in on," says Travis. "Bet, Im a let you get it for a bill. I usually let Gelato go for 125, but you my brother," replies Draco. The deal is made and they set up in the shadows of the porch and match a few blunts. "Draco I haven't been able to sleep after killing Choppa them, I keep see'in Choppa's dead stare when I close my eyes."

                     "I got sum fo dat bro, This dat exotic shit from the hill's", Draco says while coughing from the gas smoke."This shit here will make a Black Caiman calm down and go to sleep!" Draco pulls the exotic blunt from a sealed pouch that was wrapped in gold egyptian silk. Travis takes a hit from the blunt and his mind instantly leaves on a psychedelic journey. "Damn bro I'm stuck ", Travis says in calm mellow voice. "So Draco this shit here was out there with them pyramids and pharaoh's",Travis says while looking curious. "Yea bro I think its time you head on in and secure those sheep",Draco looks in amusement.

                    Travis makes sure Draco makes a safe exit then he heads back into the house to secure them sheep before his high fades away. The night went by like when you get paid but you have bills due. Travis wakes up feeling reborn and more relaxed than usual. The house smelled of smoked sausage, grits, eggs and honey butter biscuits. He gets dressed and heads down stairs to grab some breakfast before heading outside to smoke his morning blunt. Breakfast like this wasn't normal in the Kash house so he made the best of it while he could.

                    The text message he was waiting on came through,"Outside,"then another,"Bring Biscuits", read the texts from Draco. He grabbed his stuff and bounced out of the door. Of course Draco wasn't outside yet but If you knew Draco he was fixing to make a grand entrance. The silence breaks as the 392 hits its rev limiter while its lettering tires drifted around the corner. Draco lets the window down with his pistol drawn on Travis,"Come off them biscuits fat boy!" Travis shoots him the bird while loading the biscuits and his stuff into the car.

                 "We need to run to the mall to get some shoes to match what I got on," says Draco." Travis instantly went into flash backs on what he did last time they went to the mall. They pull up to the mall and park across the parking spot vs pulling in the right way. "We should get some chains made for the whole gang", Travis says as they walk past the Diamond Doctor. "I don't know bro, thats like wearing a banner saying,"Hey we da Swiffer gang, the people thats been shooting up southeast Magnolia." Draco continues in his rant, "I just ain't ready to go to jail or get shot by surprise over a target chain." Travis stays quiet for a little while contemplating to himself,"Damn, One day I might get stood over If people figure everything out."

                Travis and Draco continues shopping as their shopping bags multiplied swiftly. The more they shopped the more attention was drawn on them. This really wasn't a good thing being that they were 17 years old shopping in the mall like they were rappers. The morning crowd slowly turned into a mass as people began to flood through the main entrance. This made the boys uneasy knowing that someone may recognize the Charger outside from the shooting. They move cautiously through the crowd making their way to the door.

               They threw all of their bags in the car and left the area trying not to draw on too much attention.
