| Chapter One �Meeting the Devil� Lucky Spencer walked to the end of the dock. He could not believe how messed up things were. �At least they could not get worse,� he said to himself. (Don�t count on it.) �Got the money?� boomed a voice from behind. �Only half. I get the rest tomorrow. I promise.� Lucky said handing over a roll of bills. Looking apprehensively at the two large goons. �Not good enough, kid. Now you owe me $1200 and I want it tomorrow. I�m going to leave you with a little reminder.� the hood snarled. Lucky was grabbed by the arms. The two goons held him in place while the loan shark slammed a fist into his midsection. They were about to break his fingers when a voice yelled out. �I wouldn�t do that if I were you?� said Damion strolling out from the shadows. �Stay out of this? This is none of your concern.� growled the loan shark. Ignoring the remark. Damion asked, �How much dose the kid owe?� �$1200� came the reply. �Here.� Damion said throwing the money at the men, �Now get out of here.� Lucky was leaning over holding his stomach. Tries getting the words �I don�t need you� out but he was having trouble getting his breath. Damion strolled over (I should say slithered) and helped him to straighten up. �I didn�t need your help?� Lucky said trying to walk away. Damion grabbed him by the arm pulled him into the nearest alley. �You�re not going anywhere?� he said. Chapter 2 Back to Trouble with Secrets |
