"By the way" Abelardo said looking at me
"Yes it all started when my father died" I said looking at them.
"Before we came to find out that my uncle Arabi's father was the one who killed him I got a glimpse at one of the guys who were holding me making me watch my father being decapitated with every limp.
He had a tattoo that matched one that my uncle had.
I used to like it worse I used to love it so much that I remember saying one that I will get it.
I didn't know what it meant.
But it was for a riot squad.
Not a gang at all but a riot squad that was formed long ago and refused to become a gang.
I didn't know what they did and that is still a mystery to me.
So later one I remember Arham coming to visit me after my father's funeral.
He told me that he heard his father saying that he was coming for my mother and do her the same destiny he did my father.
I got so scared that I went to tell my mother and the reaction I expected from her wasnt what she gave me.
She took it calmly with a smile on her already stressed face.
Then the next day I heard that Arham and Arabi were gone missing and their father was going for trials in jail.
I mean wasn't that suspicious how their father was found in one of the old alleys with two knives that both had blood and two missing children.
When he was in jail I was relieved but at the same time worried.
I remember never hearing the news of my cousins and even mother told me she never knew where they went to until one day when I was about to leave for college Arham appeared in my room at two in the morning.
He offered me to follow him if I didn't want any of my family members to be in danger.
I remember that I refused that day and even told him that he was plotting something against me.
I mean it was all suspicious and worrying to me how he disappeared and after so many months came back telling me to follow him.
Then he removed his phone gave me on earphone bud and kept the other then he told me to listen.
I heard it very clear and loud.
It was my uncle saying that I had the key.
He said that if they got a hold of me then I would surrender and tell them since I was so young and well stupid.
That his words not mine.
I remember being defenseless and well I was stupid apart from the wise decision and words I used to say in part of defensing myself physically at any how I was really stupid.
Thats what he was referring me as stupid at.
It was the night and the next day I would leave for college.
I told him that I would go with him the time I would tell my mother that I was going for college and thats what happened exactly.
He told me to enter in a black USV and well I thought I was going to get the same destination as my father I was so ready to but well we stopped for breakfast in a small isolated restaurant and there he explained to me everything.
He told me that he was taking me in a squad.
He didn't say camp no he told me in a squad where they would teach me every mean and aspect of the art of fighting.
Karate kungfu guns you name it.
And thats what happened but I made sure to be checking at that college I told my mom that I went to.
I knew very well when they would close for holidays when their period ended and even when their semester ended.
My mother thought I was going to college but for one full year I was being trained.
The training session usually took six months and the torture that you got there was bareless and the fact that I was trained six months more made me sick.
But it also made me who I am now.
I remember each time I would go home my mother would tell me that I kept getting skinnier and that I looked more tired everyday.
She told me that people who were in college get bigger fuller and have fun but I looked of the depressed type and well that was right.
I was over stressed and messages I kept getting each day of my uncle's men shamelessly talking about my body what they loved about me made me somehow self-conscious and the videos of my father dead was what hunted me every day.
Arabi here helped a lot but the person who made it all go way is sitting right besides me." I said looking at Abelardo who gave me a smile.
"I still dont see why a bounty is on you though" Abelardo said looking hard at Arabi who rolled her eyes.
Yeah their beef wasn't going no where at any time soon.
"When one year was done well I was sent on a mission and kept in a group.
I was the first person to stay that long because of the way they trained us and how hard punishments could get but it was the only safe place that I had well for me and my family.
So after a year they sent me on a mission in which went all red on people.
I was working on the rival gangs and fining out how their connections went how much treasure they had and how much fortune they could have.
Find out how far their technology could go and if they had a good chance of being a threat to the country because it was raising so fast and had went as far as attacking a governmental meeting.
