Part 4
Part 2
Abby
I love Chapel. I got lots of friends,
but they all like me cuz i;m in with the best Detroit dealers.
College girls sometimes come into town, drunk as well, looking for
coke highs. These girls are my bestsellers. I stash the money
everywhere like a squirrel. Got places all over the place. What
matters is I ain't crazy., I aint taken no pills, and sure as hell
aint going to a mental institution.No, fuck that. Fuck the mental
institution. I hate them places. They sent me to oen when I was 10,
said I Was so depressed I slit my writst. What kind of fucked up
story is that?
I grew up in a drug house. I learned to
live off things. Mom was kinda crazy, always saying dad was cheating
on her, sayng I woudl leave and never come back. I hated her for
that. she put the fear of god in me with her talk, doing pills while
dad went out and shoveled snow. They made it by on no money, got me
an education. I went to college. Fell in love with the wrong guy and
got caught with some dopee. They pleaded I was crazy, so I went to
the straitjacket instead of the cuffs. So I kinda went downhill from
there.
Once I get in, one they lock me up, I
intend to get th ehell out with a baseball bat and a broken bottle.
Who knows. Maybe even a 7 iron.
Crazy poet who thinks he's william
blake
I am in essence a bald white man of
over 150 pounds, with squinty eyes the the complexion of a14
year-old .I can see into things. I can do things. I hate the magic
gun they gave me so long ago. And I just can't get over the
unfinished nightmare that this city is. There is this man, they call
him Spartan, who I intend to write stories about for the highest
selling periodicals in the world. I smoke Kools, because the menthol
flavor hides the sound of death.
Hitman
I'm a 30 year-old white man, former
marine, former prisoner, former drug dealer, and current hitman. I've
seen men selling AK-47s to boys in the street. SOmetimes you can hear
the gunfire. I am numb to all these things, numb to the reality of
the world. And I have a mission. And I intend to complete it, get
paid
Yakuza Boss, Yin
517 Hitman and Boss, Peoples Maloney
My name is Chapel. Got the name when I
was born, but the other name I got, Spartan, came after I started
kicking ass in high school football. I know, it's only a game,but
sometimes you just want to hit people.My dad gave me a page, once.
No one ever knew exactly what he did; he said salesman, but one day
he came homeshot in hte shoulder, and mom, a pretty thing who should
have been a model and milloonaire but chose my dad old frank,
screamed out, what happened? "Didn't kill the guy, and he shot
me." He gave me the code later, saying you never take out kids,
guys with kids, and a girl who's in with god. Didn't believe him, but
those are the only out of bounds plays I let lie. I don't kill no
kids, because I love most of them bastards and they could be the next
Michaelangelo or who knows, in Detroit, just bout anyone can be
mayor.
So I don't kill kids, but why dads? Are
single men so bad? Well, I tell you what, single men are some tough
mothers and it's just business at that point' they may have a girl,
or a guy, or something, but this is businesss, and you grow up in
detroit, no single dude is innocent.
Women, those women are a different
story. Could never reallly relate, but when I was 16 and never dated,
my mom asked why and I Said cuz noen of them was half as you good as
you. Odd, almonst philosophical, but I was right. Sometmes you gots
to keep your eye on women, but girls who go to church are worth their
weight in gold, if not platinum.
I don't kill anyone. I stopped then
years later when my dad was shot. Like Bruce Wayne. I don't much like
the idea of wiping out guys wuth an AK-47. I sell guns to guys who
shoot people, I Steal guns from guys who shoot people, and yes I Do
fire them, but I hate the lords of war so very much it hurts. I Can't
forget shots of 11 year olds in africa with Ak-47s. My dad gave me a
pistol the second time a group of kids jumped me, and I shot one of
them the next time. No one fucked with me for 10 years, which was
partly cuz I went to the farm. They didn't charge me, but the police
hate stories of kids killing kids.
Thing is, times are changin in Detroit.
Got the 517 gang from LAsning. Got paid with a weapon just the other
day. Got hit by stray, saw a girl, fell lin love. I want out, but
Bill, the king, bill wants a lot too. He wants more than Detroit,
namely capital city and Flint. He wants to expand. And when you go
from cheap project to cheap project, there aint enough money left for
the food when the drug dealers leave the building.
Bills got something special for me.
Guess it's time to find out.
Names Bill. I like girls lots. The
hores fuck wiht me, I punch em.my boys fuck with me, I kill em. The
cops fuck with me, I pay em. No reason I can't be rich, but this
isn't no 50 cents saying get rich or diee trying. Not many rappers
came out of Detroit projects. Those that did are gonna be in my
business soon as I expand, soon as I make this one big deal to wipe
out the 517 gang.
I carry around a toothbrush, teeth
gotta be clearn.
I got bunch of cops in my pocket, but
one stupid journalist keeps printing shit about me and my gang across
the web. Stupid internet news sites.I got mea wi fi laptop worth
about $10,000, and this thing gets thousands of emails from potential
clients. Thing is, the drug business don't work well on the web.Got
feds over it like a damn CSI show. So I play it cool and mail out
letters the old fashioned way. Got me enough steel coming in to wipe
out the 517s, but I plan on expanding my empire beyond that local
shit. There isn't anything in michigan but drugs, beer, woman, and
water. Beyond that, the cars suck and don't sell for much. But one
thing we do got is the damn gun. The thing of beautyf. The equalizer.
I play my cards right, I'll get about 2,000 automatic weapons from a
dealer. Gotta get damn Spartan to do it, cuz he's the only one with a
clean nose and a liver that ain't shot to shit.
1-Gets an M-16 instead of cash, and is
hinted at he's going to be replaced. Where'd you get the steel? "You
shouldn't have let the girl live, Spartan." His code is one of
an oddity; some women, all kids, has a softspot for fathers because
his taught him everything don't deserve the reaper. Hears of a big
job by Bill, the bossman, who is looking to put a team together. He
goes for it, the big score which will right things. Gets a job in the
meantime, no pay, but thinking he'll impress boss. There is a
problem. The 517 are hitting 313 towers across town, and no one who
knows knows why. The bitch appears, the girl who wants to run the
underworld. He loves her, but she is crazy, talks to herself,
prettiest thing in the wordl. She wants him to take the job, to get
her on them pills which make you right, and leave this place, hit
some paradise. She goes nuts and goes to institution. He runs into
problems. Guys tailing him, guys tailing him everywhere, in suits.
Takes the job.
