Chino vs Sapo
Chino knew that something was going on, whenever Sapo call him for a favor. He always say’s the same thing.
“Chino can you do me favuh?, you know yo’r my pana, right? and you know yo’r the only guy I can trust, right? I mean we go way back” Sapo said.
Chino knew he was going to regret it one day helping out Sapo, but he didn’t care, he knew they were close, and were friends.
“Yo chino wat up?, listen can you do me favor?” Sapo said.
“Listen Sapo, I been doing many favors for you” Chino said.
“Aight Chino you don’t have to get all upset bout it’’. Sapo said
‘’Aight, So what do you want?’’ Chino said.
“Listen I want you to pick up a package at 125th and bring it back to my crib” Sapo said.
“All da way up to 125th, dat’s really deep, and you know perfectly dat the whole place is full of cops” Chino said.
“Listen Chino, it’s just a small favor, and it will really quick” Sapo said.
“Aight I’ll do it, but I swear if I get caught Blanca will kill me” Chino said
“Heh, don’t worry nothing will happen just go pick it up on Friday around 8, make sure it’s back at my crib by 9.” Sapo chuckle.
As Chino hang up he could hear Sapo laughing about something. It was probably what he said about Blanca trying to kill him, but it was the truth. Blanca always warned Chino about Sapo, but Chino didn’t care. Even if he had bad feeling about it, he can always count on Sapo for help. He was just starting to get tired that Sapo always keeps on calling him and sends him to all over New York. It’s was late so Chino went to sleep. The next day Chino told Blanca that he was going outside.
“Hey tonight I am going out for a bit, but it won’t be late> Chino said.
Blanca didn’t even bother asking where Chino was going, because she already knew that Chino was just going to hang out with Sapo.
At night Chino went to pick up the package in 125th Street in some abandoned projects.
The place smell like piss, and Chino didn’t want to bother staying any longer in the building so he hurry up and pick it up. Everything was going well, but Chino didn’t even knew what was about to happen. A bunch of crackheads came up to Chino.
“Hey boy wat you got there?” said one the crackheads.
“ It’s none of ur business” Chino said.
“Hey, Hey, Hey there’s no need to get so loud, we just want to know wat you got there” Said the crackhead.
Chino knew he can easily beat the crap out of them since they were already smacked, but he knew if he were to make a scene the cops would get suspicious and catch him. That’s the last thing Chino had on his mind to get caught by cops. He decided not to make a big scene about it and push them away.
“Get the hell outta my way” Chino said
“Hey were do you think your going boy?” yelled one of the crackheads.
They were starting to get Chino pissed, but he knew the whole scene was bringing attention so he had no choice, he started running. Chino ran down to 120th hoping to run away from them, but it was getting worse for him as he could hear the screams of the crackheads running after him.
“After him!” one of them yelled.
Chino was heading down to 116th hoping to catch the train and get away, but just as soon as he crosses the street he felt somebody tackling him down. A cop came out of nowhere and held him down.
“Hey let go of me, I didn’t do nothing” Chino yelled.
There was nothing Chino could do they hold him down, slammed his head to the floor and were able to lock him.
“Man’ wat the hell, why did I even do this?” Chino said to himself.
As Chino was being pick up he felt something missing from pocket. Chino was run so quick that he didn’t even realize that the package felt out of his hood’s pocket.
“Dammit!, I lost dat fuckin packet and I didn’t even realize where the hell it fell!” Chino mumbled to himself.
Chino was shove in to the cop car and was taking to the nearest NYPD for questioning.
“Hey, why were you running” Said the cop.
“Hey I don’t wat ur talking about,” Chino said.
“Don’t play stupid with us you were clearly running away from something” the cop said.
“Listen, I wasn’t running away from anything, I was just running to catch the train, it dat so bad” Chino said.
“Listen, kid were getting reports that there some sort of business going around that area and you couldn’t be running just to catch the train.” The cop said.
“Well like I told you I didn’t do nothing” Chino said.
The cops were being stupid, but since Chino lost the package there was no way they can suspect. The cops just check Chino, and luckily for him, he didn’t had a record or anything so he was released. Chino was really pissed of so he headed for Sapo crib to talk to him. It’s was late, but Chino didn’t care as he went up to Sapo door and started knocking. BAM, BAM was all you could hear.
“Hey Sapo open the fucking door!” Chino yelled.
“Hey man, keep it down, and were da hell you been man, were my package?” Sapo said.
“Oh u care more about da package, but you didn’t even care wat happened to me” Chino yelled.
Man, wat da hell is ur problem?.” Sapo said.
“ Well, 1st I got chased off by a bunch crackheads, then I was taken down by the cops.” Chino said.
“Man, wat about da package?” Sapo giggle.
Chino realize that Sapo wasn’t taking him seriously and he thought it was all a big joke to him.
“Yo care more about the package then me? See Sapo I am tired of this bullshit. I am tire dat I am always risking my life for you! Chino yelled.
Sapo apparently was starting to get tired of Chino screaming so he push Chino away from him.
“ What you trying to say Chino, your gunna leave me hanging just cus of one stupid accident, I been having your back all this time” Sapo said seriously.
“I don’t give a shit, I shud had listen to Blanca in da 1st place, I not gunna be risking my life for someone who call himself a friend, but only intends to use me” Chino said.
Chino started to walk away and left Sapo.
“Hey were da hell u going Chino, ur nothing with out me!” Sapo screamed.
Chino didn’t giva a crap about what Sapo said to him, just the last the words he said to him. The moment he lost his friend.
