Chapter 23

THE STREET IS QUIET AGAIN, FOR NOW

Kyle, Shadow, and 40 Oz still straddle their bikes.Breathing hard. The street is quiet again.Too quiet.

40 Oz:

“Man… that was a dude.”

SHADOW:

“No it wasn’t.”

KYLE:

“Not who. What.”

Silence. Then –

40 Oz laughs nervously.

 40 Oz:

“Man, forget this. Yo… we still going to Sammy’s or what? It’s my birthday.”

 They hesitate, exchanging a look. Then nod. They ride. Glancing back every few seconds.
