The Death of a Member

Although Quan's life seems to be improving with his new friend Huncho, he is still being bothered by
the rival gang, The Blimps. Things were getting hot in the street, afew people he knew were murdering
and getting murdered back. Quan never wanted to be apart of this life but the system brought him into
it.

He heard of killings everyday in the news but his heart came to a stop when he saw the most recent
person fall dead to a drive by shooting to the rival gang, One of his closest friends, Double Wide.
Quan saw the news and called Small Fry to see if he wasn’t dead. He answered the phone to hear
Quan sniffling and tearing up.

“Hello” answered Small Fry.

“Bro, what happened?” asked Quan with tears running down his face.

“It was The Blimps, they shot him and clipped me too” replied Small Fry.

“I can't believe he’s dead, everything was going good in our lives and they just go and murder him like
that, I can't believe it” said Quan.

“Yeah I know, we just have to keep our head up and make it out of this town. Also we are going to have
a funeral on saturday for him. Will I see you there?”

“Yeah, i'll be there” said Quan. They hung up.

Saturday was just three days away and Quan really did not want to go, he couldn't bear to see one of his
best friends, murdered, in a casket, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The day had come and somehow Quan got through it. He sat next to Big Wide's grave after everyone
had left, thinking. Small Fry walked up to him and sat down.

“We’re going to get through this” said Small Fry, “together.”

“Yeah I know” said Quan. “We are going to make it out of this town, through music.”

“Now that's what I like to hear.”

From now on Quan wasn’t just rapping for the fame, he was doing it for Double Wide as well.
