Continued from part 3.
"Hey bro" Luke called out to me smiling.
"Hi" I replied a little uninterested. it's been months since I last saw or heard from him.
"So what's popping, how's dad?" he asked trying to maintain a lively conversation but I was not interested.
" Dad's good. been busy lately" I replied.
"Well, I have big news that might interest you" he replied checking around for any sign of eavesdroppers.
" What is that" I replied curiosity, I'm sure was clearly displayed on my face. He was finally able to get my attention cos anytime he came with news, they are always big news.
"Well, he began, you need to get lyn across to grand pa, there's an incoming attack.
A lump was caught in my throat as he said that. I knew they would come but I didn't expect it so quickly.
"Do we have time?" I needed to be sure of the decisions to make.
" In less that forty six hours, it's gonna be raining fire" he replied and patted me on the shoulder, leaving me in a state of dilemma.
I had to make a decision, either to stay back and probably get killed or run away. But, only cowards run away from their fears and I wasn't one.
"There's gonna be an attack in less than forty four hours" we were all at our usual hangout spot when I delivered the news to them.
"Who the hell is attacking?" Tj asked, he loved violence, especially when on drugs.
Rumours had it that he was working for the latin america mafia before something happened, he took a run and escaped with a lot of money and arms. since then, he has been staying here, partly for protection.
"Latin America mafia" I replied and noticed the chills that ran down their spines, o noticed the goosebumps that appeared on Neo and Mason's skin. we were all afraid of them, we all have heard their story, we knew how vicious they were.
"That's bad" Mason reasoned aloud, he was the calmest amongst us.
"We won't go all out, we won't also be sleeping on our backs, we'll keep preparing. that way, we all won't die too early.
"Okay" we all agreed in unison.
Later at night.
The birds chirped noise fully as they flew from one tree to another, the moon shone brightly, adding serenity to the calm and beautiful night. Most people were in their homes, probably enjoying a beautiful sleep, but I couldn't.
The thoughts of what would happen when the dreaded mafia arrives kept disturbing me.
"What if they killed every one?"
"What if we lose everything once again?"
I know I wouldn't let that happen. And with that determination, I laid down to sleep, tomorrow was gonna be a very long day.
To be continued.
