Waves: A Little Mistaken Fate

Chapter 15: The Congressman, Steve Davidson.

The five were able to get into a nearby cafe, close to the school’s location. As they got inside, Pitcher led them all to a table at the extreme end and they all took their seats.

Pitcher looking all frightened, Big D, sweating all around while finding every possible means to avoid eye contact with Eugene.

The gauntlet brawl really send shivers into the spines of the four that were around Eugene. Velma can be seen, obviously staring too close at Eugene and the awkward silence broke off as Eugene couldn’t take it anymore.

“Hey, what the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Are you sure you are alright, or normal? Or in fact, are you human?” Velma questioned with a curious expression written all over face.

“That’s a stupid question, you know that right?” Eugene responded with an indifferent expression.

“I can see that you haven’t break a sweat since the brawl.” Velma cleared up the reason behind her questions.

“Well, don’t bother anyway. It’s not like I am going to give up the truth easily.”

“Hmm, that’s interesting, but anyways, we are here for another thing right?” Velma asked as she faces towards the direction of Pitcher and Big D.

“Yeah, so, Mr. Dawnson, you have things to tell us right?” Jixie cuts in.

“W...well, about what? I...if I may ask?” Big D answered with a shaking tone.

At that moment, the waiter walked towards their table, asked for their order, took them down and left to wait onto another table.

“Well, let’s start with a solid question, why the hell did you attack our school?” Eugene asked as he leaned further towards him on the table, with his two palms on his cheeks.

On hearing his question, Big D sighed and looked at Pitcher whose mood suddenly got moody. Pitcher looked at Eugene and plainly answered, “It wasn’t on our own accord, we were ordered to do so.”

“If I may ask, by who?” Velma suddenly cuts in, asking the same question that was on everyone’s mind.

“The congressman, Steve Davidson’s order.” Pitcher answered and was quite satisfied seeing the shocked reactions written all over the faces of Eugene, Velma and Jixie.

Big D then sits up to finally give the full gist, “Steve Davidson is actually the one who owns the Gangster Hood gang and up till today, no one, not even me knows what the objective behind the gang’s creation is.

The G.H gang was one sneaky rat gang that made it to the ranking list through the congressman’s connections. It was a hard quest for someone like me who had to force himself into the gangster’s lifestyle.

Armed robbery, drug trafficking, street brawls, paid assaults, we did all that to gain a place in the ranking list and as well, build up a respectable reputation.

Well, everything was going on well for me when I was still a first year student in Vincestreet High, till my brother messed with the wrong guy.

He stole from one of the buildings owned by the congressman and was caught. He was the only one in his team to be unfortunate.

My parents begged on behalf of him and made promises till he pointed at me with the exact words, “he has to work for his bail money, work for me, Mr. Dawnson”.

Well, my parents saw nothing to it as they thought that the work would be just as normal as any decent work which the labourers do.

We did agreed to it, signed the contract without even reading what was inside and then, he brought me in, into his office and gave me a shock as he said to me, “you are going to help me run a gang”.

With the mind-set of disagreeing with him, it broke down as he brought up my imprisoned brother and threatened me with his condition and yeah, I succumbed.

He transferred me to another school, introduced me to his partners, educated me, and of course, according to him, “disciplined me”.

Like that, I became an errand boy for him. He gives me the quest and I get it done, followed him up and grew his gang.

Then after, our growth was topped by a hideous cult like gang, the Black Crooks and somehow, all of a sudden, the congressman lost hope on growing the gang.

Then, on last week Tuesday, he gave me the mission of taking over Vincestreet High that Ken would soon be deceased.

We became suspicious on him trying to take over the unaffiliated schools in the country, maybe, it has to deal with the power struggles with his fellow politicians or something like that.

And since miss Velma took over the claim of being the new students’ president without permission, it will trouble the congressman and likewise try to either get rid of her or subdue her under his control.”

“Huh? Why the fuck would he do that?” Velma cuts in with her question as she gives out an annoying expression.

“Well, it’s that obvious, you are to him, an obstacle that he either needs to take advantage of or get out of his way.”

“But actually, I don’t plan to be, so I might just get out of his way, since we planned for a peaceful school life, right?” Velma turns to Jixie as she questions her. As for Jixie, she gave her an eye, which expressed her annoyance.

“The chances of that would actually be low.” Pitcher adds.

“Huh? How?” Velma asks in confusion.

“Since it is known to everyone that you are really strong since you were capable of defeating Ken and his guys easily, he would probably want to subdue you to be under him or have you dead in other to avoid future problems coming from you.” Eugene explains.

“My point.” Pitcher agrees.

“Well, I’m now excited and impatient to meet him.” Velma replied with a creepy smirk on her face.

“Uhm guys, I’m not yet done with my story.” Big D says with a saddened face.

“Awwn, he is really cute.” Velma teased.

“Yeah, I do get to see that now and then.” Pitcher adds.

“Bla bla bla, anyways, his new mission gave me a shock, we then arranged Donald for the mission, since he had his eye on my position of being the gang leader not knowing about the congressman’s control.

We did scripted him on how to carry out the mission. Of course, the idea came from the congressman but instead, he messed it up big time as his desire for power grew stronger and likely blew off on Friday after receiving the news of Ken’s death.

To the victims, I do apologize but anyway, that is all.”

The waiter comes back in with their order and left, after some silence and them having a bite and sip of whatever they had on their table, Eugene finally spoke up,

“I do have another question to ask, what is this guy’s personality like?”

“He seems to be afraid of something nowadays but as for his character, he is, as you know, demanding, threatening and as well, has the attitude of money can solve everything.” Big D answers.

“Haha!! Now, that’s what I’m looking for.” Eugene laughs out loud as he rests back on his seat.

Pitcher then drops his empty cup of coffee and speaks up, “now, this is all we know, we have to go back to your school to pick up the boys that you knocked out on your courtyard.”

Then, both pitcher and Big D got up and left while dropping some money on the table and at that moment, Jixie suddenly heaved a sigh out of relief.

Looking at her with curiosity, Velma asked, “Hey, don’t tell me that you don’t have any money on you.”

“What about you?” Jixie sharply replies.

“Of course, unlike someone I do carry money around.......... In my school bag though.” Velma cheerfully replies while Jixie was holding herself back from snapping.
