Chapter One - The Call
Chapter One - The Call
One hour later
You went back to your apartment (you like to call it yours as it gives you a sense of home but you share it with Ricky and five of his friends) you go up to your room looking at the card wondering whether to make the call. You go down to the living room to one of the guys sitting on a small torn- apart brown leather sofa in a ripped white t-shirt and purple shorts on an iPhone 4 as itâs the only phone in the house. â hey brotha I need the phone for a secondâ you say whilst walking in the shit pile the 7 of you call home. âGo aheadâ he gives you the phone and walks towards the kitchen. You start to panic as you press the numbers in the phone, wondering if theyâll pick up. You put the phone to your ear and walk up the raggedy brown carpet stairs to your room. âOh fuck. I should have done this, shouldnnâtt have done thisâ you say in a sing-song voice. âFUC-.â You were about to square up at the wall since you hit your shoulder on it; when the phone stops ringing and your heart moves to your throat. âH-hello?â You say as you try to deepen your voice to reassure yourself. A sly sharp voice came to the phone. âEvening Mr. Adonis Smith, your friend Riccardo âRickyâ Rogers told me youâd call and Iâm so glad heâs rightâ his voice softened at the end of his sentence. âEnough blabbering. I need you to complete and assignment for me, Iâm sure youâre fully aware of what you need to do and when you need to do it by, correct?
Your friend looks at you shocked due to you hesitating, âCome on Adonis, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity
for you, plus you know you need the moneyâ he says as you both laugh âIâm not sure bro, what if, what if they want me to like kill someone. Ricky I canât do thisâ you walk away when Ricky pulls you on the shoulder to look at him âcome on man, Iâve known you since you were fourteen, when we first me at the agency I was the only one that liked you!â You give him a puzzled look. âI-sorry. Anyway, you NEED to do this Donnie. Itâs the best thing coming your way you canât just turn around and say nope.â You sigh and nod lightly as he smirks âsoo, is that a yes I see? Is that a I will Ricky and Iâm very lucky to have you as my friend I feel coming as well?!â You laugh, âI will Ricky and Iâm very lucky to have you as a friendâ you both handshake and turn to a hug âreally, thanks ricky â I gotcha brutha, just make sure to holler me when you rich aight, give this number a call to talk about the assignmentâ He says whilst pulling away from the hug and handing you a light beige credit - sized card with a phone number on.
