“Ahhhhhhhhhh! What da fuck!” My fucking soul jumped out of my body as I hit the ground and backed against the locker. “Ahhhhhhhh! Fuck nawl! We already been to da swamp!”
Icy fear twisted around my heart as a massive anaconda dropped from the ceiling with its mouth wide open, looking as if it could fit my entire body inside. My throat was sore and hoarse from screaming since I was dropped from the plane. I was swearing like a bitch in this school, but I didn’t care. A fucking anaconda was right in front of me like it lived here.
Arf Arf Arf
I know that ain’t that fucking white furball from the savannah.
The puppy trotted down the hallway, jumping in front of me as if he wasn’t running through the grasslands just hours ago. Using my foot, I nudged his ass in front of the anaconda. I didn’t know how he’d escaped the lion and made it all the fucking way in the same building I was in on those short-ass legs, but he'd been an offering from God to save myself.
The puppy leaped forward, and I was already gagging because I knew the snake eating his ass was going to be gruesome. When the puppy jumped onto the snake and landed on his feet but appeared inside the snake, my mouth clammed shut.
“What da–“
Clap Clap Clap
Don appeared in the snake’s mouth, clapping as he walked forward, toward me.
“It’s a holographic. See…” He swiped his hand, and the snake disappeared.
My eyes shifted from him to the puppy, who was looking at me as if I was the fucking crazy one.
“Dat shit looked real as fuck! Like, what da fuck is wrong witcho ass, mane!”
Don stuffed his hands in his pockets as if his ass didn’t just push me off the plane hours ago. The thought of that shit had me ready to square up with his ass, but the thought of more animals appearing from the cut made me cringe, so I remained on the floor against the lockers.
“Congratufuckinglations. You have made it out alive, fuck nigga. Welcome to the mob.”
“Shiddd, you already welcomed me, I thought. All dis shit wasn’t even necessary.”
“I welcomed your wife, nigga. You had to pass these fuckin’ challenges first, like the other Cuppacios. And I added on a few other shit to test out what Preston been working on.”
I slowly stood, not caring that I was only in my underwear. Finally allowing myself a moment to calm down, my body instantly began to ache and burn from all the cuts and bruises I’d gotten through the challenges, as Don called them.
He chuckled as he bent down and picked up the puppy. “I didn’t think you had it in ya, but you Cuppacios gotta be made of gorilla balls because y’all continue to beat destiny. Somebody should’ve died by now.”
“Dat shit ain’t cool. I almost fuckin’ died ’bout seven times.”
“You know what ain’t cool, nigga? You leaving a fuckin’ mob event to go do some shit that could’ve got your black ass sent back to prison.”
“I ain’t know I had to clear my personal affairs with you.”
“You wanna be rich?”
“Duh, nigga.”
“Well, you gotta clear that shit through me. Anything you do can come back to me, Payne.”
“It was a fuckin’ gender reveal with dicks hangin’ errwhere.”
“And titties slangin’ too. It was still mob shit, and you went to see bout that sour-ass hoe.”
Arf Arf
The puppy barked as if it were agreeing with Don.
Leaning against the locker, I closed my eyes. I couldn’t believe what the fuck I’d just gone through, and now I was standing here, damn near naked, being lectured like a fucking child.
“Aye.”
