CHAPTER 1

If there ever a time for being a fool, its now, and being a fool means acting like a complete moron in front of your friends. I can’t help it, I love to be me, and if being me is so wrong, then I’d rather not be me.

I’d rather be a dog, I like dogs.

I’ll start this off small, my name is Sean Williams, I'm a Capricorn, I like sunsets when they’re red, and I like rainbows, dogs and my job. I’m 24, single, and particularly handsome.

Gather up, Crew. Cole called.

We were in our safe house; Derek and Ken gathered around Cole at the kitchen table. I stood where I was gazing at Cole. Don’t know why, just was.

He looked at me, Sean, get your ass over here.

My stomach rumbled, my butthole expanded and I let one rip. It was a huge one, awesome. Their eyes went wide and Ken and Derek started laughing.

I think something just came out of my butthole. I informed.

Cole looked at me, You can stay over there.

Sorry…I had beans and it tore my tummy up. I held my nose.

You got to shit? Ken asked.

I cocked my head, Eh.

Go! He and Cole both pointed to the bathroom.

I gave a sly look, Too late.

Sean, I swear. Derek shook his head.

I laughed, My bad guys.

This is serious, Cole informed, It’s about Joey.

Is he okay? I asked.

He shifted his stance, I don’t know.

Where’s he at? Ken questioned.

Don’t know. Cole responded again.

When’s the last time you talked to him? Derek asked.

A week ago,

No contact since? I inquired.

He shook his head, No, I'm worried.

He couldn’t have gotten himself in some shit, I’m sure he's fine. Derek consoled.

Coming from the man who—

You don’t have anything on me! Derek cut my words.

Au Contraire friend, I do. I smiled.

Name five. Derek took a step forward.

I held up one finger, You’re black.

He huffed, Fuck you.

I smiled, Your names Derek Marty Johnson the third.

Creepy, how the hell do you know I’m black?

You’re kidding right? I cocked my head.

You racist bastard, He said in a funny voice, it was very…creepy.

I am not racist! I protested.

Yeah, He laughed, Right.

Anyways, Joey is missing, in my mind and we have to go look for him. Cole took a couple steps forward.

Where’s the last place you heard from him? Ken asked.

Cole looked at him, He said he was headed to Josh’s.

Then that’s where we go first. Ken grabbed his jacket from the counter next to him.

Shotgun, I called.

Nope, Ken looked at me, That’s mine.

But—

No, let’s go. Ken cut me off.

I sighed and followed the rest of them out the front door.

The last time we saw James, Dane and Vern… they took our white van. We needed it to get around, do jobs and shit like that.

If I saw them again, I’d punch them. Not really, I would probably joke around, because if I punched them, they'd kill me, and I like living.

Let’s see what Josh has to say. Cole got out of our new black van.

We followed behind him and approached Josh’s work.

Cole stopped, Sean your coming with me and Derek and Ken wait in the car.

I got excited, I was going with Cole. Usually Ken would go; I would stay behind and fuck with Derek. (Not in that way—Pervert) but I would mess with him, fart and say it wasn’t me. (Love the song)

Cole? Ken said, Think about who you’re bringing.

Fuck you! I blurted.

He came at me and I flinched, Sorry!

He snorted and turned back to Cole, I mean, Sean is a fool, you need someone to help you fuck Josh up.

Ken, Josh is Joey’s older brother, why would we hurt him? Cole asked.

Ken shrugged, Okay boss.

Come on Sean. Cole turned and started towards the police building.

I stuck my tongue out at Ken then ran off, Derek held Ken back as I ran off. I just had to.

Kenneth is going to kill me when we get back. I told Cole as we went through the front entrance.

He laughed and held open the door for me, What’d you do?

I went in front of him and waited, I gave him the tongue.

He continued forward, Sean, Ken will literally shoot you so you better be careful with him.

We approached the front desk and I looked at him, I’m not scared of him.

Scared of who? An officer in front of us asked.

We looked at him and faked a laughed; I spoke, Barney, I’m not scared of Barney.

Cole patted my back, He’s lying; he knows damn well he’s scared of Barney.

I raised my eyebrows, Yeah well that big blob of purple really gets me.

The officer chuckled, What can I do for you boys?

Boys? Oh, now it’s on…

Do you got any extra donuts lying around we could have? Or did your fat ass eat them all? I miffed.

Excuse me? The officer’s eyes went wide.

Sean! Cole got in front of me and pushed me back. He turned back to the officer, I’m sorry, we’re here to see Officer Walker.

The officer snorted, Right. He turned and walked off.

Get me a glazed donut while you’re at it! I called.

Cole got in my face, Are you trying to get us arrested?

He called us boys. I protested.

I don’t care! You don’t speak to cops like that. He fumed.

What’s up with you man? Why you so soft? I asked.

He sighed, Nothing.

I studied him, Okay, just stop with the… Stuff,

And remember, we’re here for Joey. He pointed at me.

I held up my hands, I know.

The fat cop returned with Josh behind him, the cop stopped behind the desk and Josh came out from behind to join us.

I looked at the officer, "Did you
