Semua Bab Born Again : Bab 11 - Bab 20

I went to the warehouse to check on my friend. I wanted to verify what the cruel man told me- that the book is cursed and once you read it you are in for good. “My friend, I know you once read this book, that’s if you don’t now. That’s why you are here, right? Because of the book.” “Get to the point, I don’t have all day.” “Please help me make sense of the book.” “I can do that in a condition, my friend.” Said the Wise- thug, “Let me handle the past alone, you can take control of the Family just until I`ve killed all those who killed our future.”   I wonder what the past holds for me that my friend doesn’t want me to know off- it made him kill Black Jesus for no reason, now his sacrificing power for a secret. Clearly, there`s more than my brother`s death, no wonder why he took too long to admit that he killed him.   I agreed to take control of The Family since the Cruel- man recommended I combine the 2

A few days before I could do back to school, I got arrested for a murder that happened 2weeks ago. That’s when I saw that my mom really loves me. But I didn’t feel pity for her because it`s her responsibility to be there for me in everything I do. What I was worried about was that I would never set my feet out of prison this time; I once sued the state, they`ll make sure I go behind bars this time. What have you done, Mastermind! I was surprised to hear that my family didn’t get me a lawyer, even the Wise-thug didn’t.   The case was of a murder that happened 2weeks ago at the Corner store. A murder that happened right in my eyes. I didn’t kill her, and I don’t know who did. It wasn’t even my friends for sure. I just didn’t see who pulled the trigger that night. If I say I wasn’t there when it all happened, who would I use as an alibi to back me up? I refused to take the state attorney and pleaded innocent at the bail hearing. I am not a f

When the court day came, I got worried about this newly found evidence regarding my case and if new witnesses came to light.“All rise!”The audience went up as the Magistrate came in.“You may sit!”“Previously, the defendant was given bail and further investigation was made regarding the case. Fortunately, new evidence came to light and was sent to the lab. Hopefully, we will receive the results later on.” He said, “The defendant, you may take the stand.”“I greet you all, protocol may be observed. Ladies and Gentlemen, would you disagree if I said every story has 3sides- what actually happened, how it happened and why it happened. But with this case, we`ve only heard about the ‘actually happened’, never mind the predictions of ‘why it happened', but what happened to the ‘how it happened? My lord, it would be only fair if the defendant gave out his side of the story so

Never mind the fact that no parent wanted their children to befriend a murderer, it left me no choice but to do my usual hobby. Honestly, I was still schooling because of my parents` funding. The school depended on them by most means. Had I been of an average family, I`d be long expelled. As I was wondering how I was going to deal with the Wise-thug, I got a call from an unsaved number. I didn’t want to answer, but I ended up answering as that person kept calling. “I thought you`d never answer, how are you?” said the Family Leader. “What do you want?” “To tell you I`ll reconsider your request.” He laughed. “Are you the one who sent boys to beat me up?” “I guess we will never know.” He laughed and hang up the call. As I was thinking of what I just said my laptop made an alert. “Yes, I got the culprit.” The man is roaming in the Eastern side near the border. I hope he's not thinking what I think he's thinking.

The first day at school, after a long recess, was fine, and I had a great time with my new classmates. During lunchtime, I told my friend that we have a serious business to talk about.“We can talk now. I`m all ears.”I told him everything except the part of working for that Russian man.“So this man is a threat.” He said, “We need to eliminate him.”“What do you mean?”“We have to kill him and take over his businesses and territories, Mastermind.” He said, “Was it necessary for me to spell it out?”“I`m not part of ‘we’, right?” I said, “I don’t want to die.”“You are and you are not going to die.”Why did I even tell this guy! After school, I went home to drop off my bag and take off my uniform then went to the warehouse. I wanted to tell my friend that I`m not going to do what he
