Red sits on a gurney as Flenardo paces back and forth.
"Man I am gonna kill that mother fucker!"
Red looks at his friend and says "No you are not bro. We are going to find out why he tried to kill me. We are going to get any information he has from him."
Red stands and grimaces as the pain from his shoulder rockets through his body.
The nurse rushes over and tells him to sit down but he pushes past her and walks down the hall with Flenardo by his side. They reach another hallway where the Spook sits haunched on the wall. He sees them and rises.
He looks agitated. He always does.
Red looks at him and says "How is she bro?"
"The bullet hit her in her abdomen Red and they say that they have to go in to see how much damage there is. she is in surgery.
Red knows the rational thing to do is to wait but in his pain and frustration he thinks about running through the door.
He says "Spook what happened was planned and coordinated. We need to find out exactly who set this up and how. Get on that for me bro."
"Got you Red."
"Flenardo."
"Yeah Red."
"I am gonna need you to put together some incursion teams. Find the baddest motherfuckers you got. Put em in units and let them go in and strike terror into these motherfuckers lives. We need to learn as much as we can to know how to fight them. Bro i aint never fought no war before so I need y'alls help bad now."
the men look at each other and it is clear that they will fight for each other till the end.
"Alright... enough of that. Its a good thing that we had an alternate site for the conference and its also a good thing that Shalonda and Velvety knew what we wanted. We are going to have to make sure that there are open lines of communication between all the members of the movement."
The men agree and fall silent as they look at the doors.
It is a long time before anyone comes out.
A male nurse comes down the hall pushing an armchair with wheels and he come to where they are and locks the wheels as he says. "You need to sit down."
Red almost refuses until he realises that he does feel tired and he slumps into the chair.
Ahhhhh.
The nurse brings more chairs and the three friends sit right there in the hall outside the operating room doors.
Red finds his mind wandering and he lets it go back to a time when he was also a teenager and he had seen a man die.
It happened in the peojects where he grew up and the man who killed the other man was his friend as well.
They both were winos and they had been drinking together and trying to kill each other for a long time. they both wore the scars of their battles for all to see.
Red and his friends knew them well , they drank with these old dudes cause they did'nt mind going to get them beer and liquer. Red and his friends also learned how to shoot craps from these old men and had lost plenty of money to them and won plenty from em.
One of the old dudes would get Red and his friends drunk and rob them and they would do the same to him when he passed out. His name was Sam and to Red he seemed like some kind of player wino cause he always had him an old wino woman who took care of him.
A couple of weeks earlier Sam had caught the other wino whose name was James screwing his old lady and had tried to cut his throat and James wore the gruesome scar for everyone to see . He was pissed off. Their houses were only about 75 feet from each other and they saw each other everyday.
In the projects you aint got much, and you dont own nothin so little things mean a lot and James wife had planted flowers on the little patch of dirt in front of her house and the fellas and the little children were determined to stamp them out. The fellas had been drinking with James all day and Sam had sat on his porch and was looking for troubles cause he was missing out on all the liquer that the fellas had bought. He stood up off of his little porch and walked to the patch of dirt where James wife had planted her flowers and started to walk back and forth through them.
James wife walked to the door and began to yell at him and he had yelled back at her.
James stood up out of his chair and called his son.
"Boo!"
"Yessuh daddy?"
"Go get my damn golf club"
Boo was only about 8 years old and he looked up to his dad even though he was a wino.
he ran inside and brought the golf club out and James walked off the porch.
"Niggah get yo ass out my womans flowers" he said as Sam dared him to hit him. James had raised the golf club and as he swung it the head came off. and it fell ineffectually on Sams arm.
"Thats all you got nigahhhh??? He screamed as he started to dance in the flowers. he spun around and aroud until he faced James again and James drew back and plunged the shaft of the golf club into his chest.
THUNK!!!
Sams eyes had grown wide for a minute as he looked at the handle protruding from his chest and James ripped it from his chest and turned around and dropped it as he walked back to the porch. Sam dropped to his knees and them fell back n the ground. there was little blood but you could hear the air as it whstled in his chest. The fellas stood there and watched. They had no idea what to do and they listened as Sam begged for someone to help him and someone ran out and said an ambulance was on the way. The fellas stood and waited as Sams body began to swell and he still begged for someone to help him. Until his voice grew softer and softer. This was the projects and everyone knew that it would take a long time for the ambulance to come. It had to have a police escort. Finally when Sam was whispering the ambulance pulled up and the drivers walked around like it didnt matter if this man lived or died... as the police yelled and screamed at the people who stood around.
Red turned and walked to the porch where James was sitting and he was mumbling something as his wife stood with her hand on his shoulder.
"I told him I was gonna kill him. I told him I was gonna kill him Red. I told him."
Red is torn from his memories as the doctor walks out of the door and takes off his mask. He is an old white man and its hard to read his face as he opens his mouth.
