"Bitch I swear to god if a roach just bit me I'm on yo ass." Jaden looked over at his friend Tae, who smacked his lips.

"Niggas lame as hell on JC you know ion got no damn roaches. Say Santana, what you on nigga?" Tae held out two dice, and Yasir chuckled.

"Y'all niggas ain't sliding foreal, I got $500 on it." He sat 5 hundred dollar bills on the table, and Kade smirked.

"Double that." Kade added another $500, and Tae and Jaden did as well.

"So $2,000 first roll. 12 or nothin'." Jaden said, and everybody nodded.

Tae took the turn first, rolling five dots on one dice, and two on the other, making him smack his lips.

"Niggas trash, come on daddy need a new pair of shoes." Jaden whispered the last part as they laughed, watching him blow on the dice before rolling it on the table.

"Damn. Tough luck stupid." Kade laughed, grabbing the dice next and taking a roll.

"No fucking good. 'Tough luck'." Jaden mocked him once he rolled 11 all together.

"I was close bitch. Santana it's on you nigga." He passed the dice to him, and he took a careless roll, hitting twelve, making all of their eyes widen besides his.

"What the fuck?!" Tae frowned as Yasir laughed, taking the $2,000 off the table.

"Bro no fucking way. This nigga fucking cheated. How you win every time?" Jaden mugged him.

"Ain't gotta cheat. Y'all niggas losers and that's it." He shrugged, stuffing the money in his pocket.

He was lying. He brought trick dice with him to every game, and he was able to slyly change them out every time, throwing the game in his favor.

"Nigga a bitch. You cheated nigga on god show me yo pockets." Kade tilted his head.

"Broke ass nigga gotta cheat to get some money. No way you win every game bra you flockin'." Tae smacked his lips.

"I'm broke?" Yasir chuckled, waving them off.

"Bitch made ass nigga. We ain't playing with yo lame ass no mo'." Jaden frowned, his tone upset.

Feeling the vibe switching, Yasir figured it was about time for him to leave and head home.

"Ion give a fuck. Y'all niggas be butthurt bout $500." He stood up from the table to walk out the back door.

"Yeah yeah nigga see you tomorrow." Kade waved him off, holding the back door open for him.

And it was true. They'd get mad at him every game, and be right back cool the next day like it was nothing. They weren't really the best of friends, but they hit a few licks together here and there. They were close enough to their liking.

"Y'all tryna roll again?" Tae chuckled, pulling some cash out of his pocket as the front doorbell rung.

"Terrance late every fucking time man." Jaden shook his head, going to the front of the house to open the door.

"Who t-." Jaden was cut off as a bullet pierced through his chest.

The masked figure walked over the body and towards the back, shooting Kade who reached for his gun, killing him-and then shooting Tae.

Seeing Tae trying to scoot out of the back door, they raised their gun again, locking eyes with him.

"Come on ma-, please-please." Tae begged, before his body went limp as another bullet entered through his forehead, piercing through his brain and out the back of his head.

The figure looked around for the fourth man that they were supposed to kill, before furrowing their eyebrows and walking out the front door.

Short, but it's just the introduction.
