Baby Woe, Youngsta, and Stew went off on their own. They walked to Summerset, where Stew grandmother lived. By the time that they arrived at the small community, it was flooded with kids who were on their way home from school.

"Yo, who's that?" Youngsta pointed over at two schoolgirls on the other side of the street.

"Ion know dummy." Baby Woe said as he looked.

"That's Alexus and Aisha." Stew made known. "Aisha stays on the other side of Caroline st, in Mello Court, she the pretty darkskin one."

Baby Woe grinned, "I'm 'boutta get her." Baby Woe rubbed a palm over his wavy head and headed over to cut the girls off. "Hey Aisha girl." He approached.

"How you know my name?" She questioned as she stopped in front of him, smiling.

"That's not important. What's important is the fact that you don't know my name." He said, while tapping a finger on his chest.

Alexis took half of a step forward. "I know your name. You Benjamin. You punched Chad, Kenny's friend."

...Over across the street, Stew' and Youngsta' walked into Lester Morton Court, where Stew's grandmother lived for many years. After entering the small apartment, Stew had a quick conversation with his grandmother, who always seemed to be questioning the whereabouts of his close friend Sean.

After quickly changing out of his school uniform into something more accustomed to the streets, Stew sneaks out one of his uncles' beers from the drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator.

"You know them niggas?" Baby Woe wanted to know.

"Yeah," Aisha answered, "Kenny my boyfriend."

"Oh, that's right. Dummy do got a girlfriend name Isha'." He looked over Aisha, smiling.

"Why you smiling?" She asked, while also smiling herself.

"No reason... So, you gonna give me your number or what?"

"Really?" Aisha laughed and nodded her head towards the girl beside her, "Alexis is Kenny's cousin and-"

"...Girl fuck Kenny. You can give him your number," Alexis straightened out.

"Really, are you sure? You not goin' say nothing?" Aisha needed confirmation.

"Oh shit," Alexis mumbled. "Kenny behind you," She managed to say right before Kenny grabbed Aisha by the neck.

"What the fuck you doin'?" Kennard fumed. He felt as if he had the upper hand. Since him and his two friends did outnumber Baby Woe, three to one.

Kennard didn't know Baby Woe too well. He knew that Baby Woe was wild when he was with his cousin Sean. Or his friends, Youngsta, Stew, or even Nelly.

But, Wolf had already had a run in with Kennard and his crew once before. Wolf had been caught, beaten and chased down, then whipped again.

By Wolf keeping that story to himself, there was never any retaliation, making the Deakyland Boys look weak in the Kennards' eyes. But, like I said, Kennard didn't know Baby Woe too well.

"I'm just talkin' Kenny, Owwah! You're hurting my neck!" She complained.

"What the fuck did I tell you about talkin' to clowns?" Kenny enquired, while looking directly at Baby Woe.

"Hold up dummy! You needa' watch your mouth," said Baby Woe.

"What nigga? Don't make us fuck you up," Kenny and his friends stepped towards him shoving both Aisha and Alexus to the side.

The three boys knew that they had him out-numbered and they expected him to run. So did the girls. Kennard was ready to give chase. So, you could imagine everyone's surprise when Baby Woe dropped his backpack and punched Kennard in the nose.

"Yo," Youngsta called out to Stew as they walked through the parking lot. "Open that shit dummy," he nodded his head at the beer bottle that Stew held.

Stew stepped in between two cars, he opened the bottle and took a sniff. "This shit stink dummy."

"Just drink it, or pass the shit," Youngsta suggested aggressively. Stew looked at Youngsta but held his tongue. Not out of fear, because he certainly didn't fear Youngsta. But, because Stew knew that this was how Youngsta always was and they both knew that, Stewart Youngblood was not one to scare easily. Stew was one of the brave. When he was scared, you wouldn't know it. He would still carry on as if he wasn't.

So Stew ignored Youngstas' tone and placed the bottle to his lips. The liquor fell against his tongue and to the back of his throat. He spat it out immediately, "Ill!" he spat again and dropped the bottle. "That shit nasty!" his face was in total disgust.

"Whoa!" Youngsta rushed to save the bottle. Only allowing a very small amount to spill out before the bottle was snatched up from the parking lot ground.

Youngsta placed the bottle to his lips, then took a swig, "That ain't too bad dummy. I think I like Colt 45," he held the bottle up and examined it.

"Hey!" Some lady called out, who was walking with two children, "Is that a beer? Y'all little asses better pull that shit out before I take y'all to y'all parents." She threatened.

"What?" Youngsta frowned, "What the fuck I look like telling you who my parents is, or where I live! Fuck outta here, C'mon dummy." Him and Stew walked out of Lester Morton court, with the lady shaking her head as she moved along. "Baby Woe goin like this shit dummy," he tilted the bottle up against his lips again as they both walked.

"Yo' what the fuck dummy!" Stews' words caused Youngsta to lower the 22 ounce bottle.

Stew ran towards Baby Woe, Youngsta noticed the three boys kicking Baby Woe on the ground, with Baby Woe kicking back up, trying to defend himself. Youngsta ran out into the street behind Stew, without looking out for traffic.

A red Taurus wagon driver slammed on his brakes. But, still managed to hit the back of Youngstas' leg as he passed by. His body turned 180 degrees and he fell to his back in pain. But, Youngsta wasn't a kid who was used to excuses. He turned over and as he climbed to his feet, he saw Stew punching one of Kennys' friends in that back of the head.

When Kennard saw Stew, he turned to square up with him. So did the kid that Stew punched, Stew popped the kid again, and the third turned to see what was happening. Stew swung at Kennard, but Kennard dodged it and stepped back. This all gave Baby Woe the time he needed to climb to his feet. He wasted no time wrapping his arms around the last kids' neck and choking him to the ground.

Youngsta hopped his way over to the action and as soon as he reached it, he smashed the Colt 45 bottle into Kennard's skull, while Stew and the other kid traded blows. Kennard fell to the ground screaming. The girls gasped. Blood flowing from a gash from his head.

The kid that Stew was fighting, suddenly paused for the moment. He was used to people bleeding, but not this amount of blood. Just like his friend, Kennard thought that this was the end for him. They thought the fight was over.

Stew, punched the kid in the face again and out of fear, the kid sprinted away. Leaving his friends suffering, Kennard, bleeding out, screaming and getting beat up by both Stew and Youngsta. Alexus pleaded for them to stop before they killed her cousin.

Finally, the young man who drove the Tuarus wagon, intervened. "Chill out lil niggas!" The guy shoved them both to the ground. He looked at Kennard, who was still crying frantically. Alexus rushed to his aid. Aisha, just stood there in shock. "Yo' let him go Woe!" he yelled at Baby Woe, who still had his arms around the other kid's throat. The way that the kids' eyes were rolling around and crossing, it made the guy grab Baby Woe arms and snatched them from around the kids' throat.

"Yo' don't touch me dummy." Baby Woe screamed while he climbed up and re-claimed his backpack.

"Baby Woe, bor... get the fuck on somewhere. I'ma see you later." The older guy assured them.

The three kids sped away as fast as they could with Youngsta limping beside the two of them as they went into Stews' grandmothers' apartment.
