Prologue (God Bless A Child That Can Hold His Own )

Everything that they touched turned to gold. Then one fateful day everything turned sour and one friend is left alone to avenge the death of his best friend. He fights to stay out the game, but the call for revenge is greater than anything. Almost losing everything including his life. He refused to quit until every single soul, that had anything to do with the death of his dog was buried 6 feet deep. After promising his wife, He was done with the streets. He breaks that promise to keep the word he made to a dying friend. As the words go against him. He realizes friends are his strongest foes and his time of need. He understood the saying,” blood is thicker than water.”

Almost giving up, he doesn’t because he knows,
