Twisted Luck by Ricardo Piper
It all started in L.A. I was at the victor's Casino, the best in town. There, my game was poker but that?s not all I played. You might ask where do I get all my luck from, well it comes naturally. Besides casino winnings, I?m a bounty hunter and my last bounty was worth a half a million dollars, some guy named Hades. I go by the name of Ricky. I travel around with some weirdoes, anthonie also known as assain, Damian the hell raiser, and some bushy haired kid named Eric. I don?t know where the hell he came from. Anyway, I was playing craps when some guys came up to me wearing black tuxes. I said
Ricky: ?who the hell are you. ?
They answered
Guards: ?500 grand on your next roll?.
I had enough for the night so I said,
Ricky: ?sorry guys but I?m calling it quits for the night?.
So I brush of my jacket, and who to come and slap my shoulder, yep it was Eric and he was playing tag. The dice fell out of my hand and I rolled a six, not only was that role not lucky but I was in deep @$*&, because I now owed the casino a half a million dollars, and I had spent most of my bounty money on my car. Anyways I had stop playing, but they didn?t by that. So I did the first thing that came to my head, fight these guys off. When the casino manager open the door to his office, out pop Victor, I thought the manager was just some skinny guy in a suit. When I saw him another thing ran through my head, run! He told his guards to catch me but I was to quick. When I reach my car I remember that I left Eric inside. They had caught Eric and told him that his friend better bring him his money. I didn?t really know him and he did make me role the dice so I was determine to leave him but I just couldn?t because he is a part of the team, how ever he got there, but he is. So I put my gear in drive and ram the entrance of the casino with my car. I manage to hit Victor. I grab Eric, pulled him into the car and drove off.
Driving top speed in my bumble bee.
Ricky: ?It looks like we lost em. What the hell were you thinking and where?s the rest of the guys."
Eric: ?I don?t know?
Ricky: ? you wouldn?t know?
My back window shield broke, when I look it was Victor's man shooting at me. I was doge ding, but a missle shots blew off the back of my trunk.
Ricky: ?Damn that?s another 30 thousand?.
I told Eric to take the wheel and keep it steady. That was a bad idea. I went in the back seat and pulled out my bazooka, I didn?t want to use it because the shells cost a bundle. I shot it at one of the cars and it blew up.
Ricky: ?One down two to go.?
I fired another and blew up one more car up. I only had one bullet left and I was having problems locking on my target because Eric kept on surving the car about. I fired my last shot but i miss.
Ricky: ?Now what are we going to do.?
Eric: ?Here you take the wheel ill handle them?.
Ricky: ?what you?
I took back the wheel and gave him a chance. He pulled out his pistol
Ricky: ?what are you going to do with that?.
He shot once and hit the left wheel of their car and made it flip over.
Ricky: ? so your not all that bad huh kid, but I wish you could had done that sooner so I wouldn?t have to had use my bazooka shells!?
Driving along I see a small town ahead and I thought maybe I can get some parts for the bumble bee there. I pull over at a gas station that had a little restaurant there. while they were cleaning what?s left if my car and giving it fuel, I use a pay phone at the station, I called the rest of the guys, they were in new jersey they couldn?t come where I was so they told me to stay with eric till they get back.
Ricky: ?no I don?t want him to stay with me,
hello, hello!, hello!?
Eric ?I think they hung up
Ricky: ?Shut up?.
I needed some money quick because I was broke. I have a thousand dollars but that?s at the head quarters and that?s to fare. Something had just ran through my head, when the guard at the casino told me that he wanted a half a million on my next roll I didn?t sign the contract saying I would
Eric: ?Um?. Ricky
Ricky: ?What now.?
Eric: ?Well before I slap your shoulder I had sign the contract in your name
Ricky: ?What! Why would you do that.?
Eric: ?Because I thought it was attendance"
Ricky: "So why didn?t you write your name"
Eric ?Because they already knew i was there, duh.?
I still needed some money fast. I could only think of one thing, when there finish with my car ill jump in and break out. After they finish with the car that was in terrible condition. I ask the guy how much, when he went to get his calculator from in his back pocket I step on the gas and left yelling out
Ricky: ? it pays to go to school huh?.
But i didnt get far I hit a tree about 50ft from the place. I felt a tapping on my shoulder when I turned around it was the manager, the gas boy rated me out. He held a shot gun to my head an told me to get out the car, I wasn?t stupid, I wasn?t going to try anything, . I ended up doing repairs on other peoples cars till I had work off my payment
2 hours later
I finish the repairs, grab Erick and left. By the time I returned to my car there was some crack heads stilling the parts from my bumble bee. When they saw me they ran. Now my car was really a wreck no door, no seat, no wheels, they took every thing except the car frame.
Ricky: ?You do know this is all your fault right. Now how are we suppose to get out of here.?
We had to hitch a ride. We?ve been waiting for three and a half hours, finally a red pick up truck stop. It was an old wash up boxer named jermaine. Me and Eric hop in the back.
Tell me what you think please
