LOYAL SNAKES 2

Downtown, Rena exited the boutique, locked up, and began walking toward the building she lived in. She looked forward to whatever Kay’Ron had prepared for dinner. She dialed Karen’s phone number and still no answer. She began checking for any missed text messages from her but nothing. Karen had been MIA for some time. Kay’Ron ensured her that everything was fine, this was just how she and Zak were when they were on. They possessed each other’s time and acted as if they did not know anyone. 

Rena was so distracted with her phone that she did not notice two men and two women walking towards her. Once in arms reach, Shawneece pulled the ski mask over her face and lunged for Rena and began beating her. Rena lost her balance and fell to the ground. All four individuals began kicking her. The other female was Shavon who aimed for the stomach area. It was the longest seven minutes of Rena’s life as she laid balled up trying to protect her face and stomach. 

“Come on, that’s enough. Let’s go before someone sees us,” said one of the men. 

Everyone ran down the block and got inside a gray chevy impala and sped away. Rena lay on the ground in pain, she felt fluids pouring from between her legs. The stickiness meant it had to be blood. Feeling weak, she managed to dial 911 before passing out.
