Ice Cream Man(prequel to Untamed), Ashon Thadon [best chinese ebook reader TXT] 📗

Tres Locos knew talent when he saw it and he said he saw extreme talent in me. He saw me teach that chump a lesson when he tried to violate my sister and he knew he could use me in his organization. Besides I was cool with his little brother which pretty much made us family. Tres Locos really didn’t want his little brother involved in the kind of business he was in but he knew he couldn’t shield Carlos from it either. Carlos was already a well-known name due to his brother so he also knew that the same enemies that were out to get him would try to go for his family.

Now Carlos is my boy, mi amigo. But he has no heart, no corazón. He’s basically a follower. If he didn’t have me to run around with, he would have probably latched on to some other clown kid and would have gotten into real trouble. Tres Locos loved how I handled myself as well as keep his Little brother in line and safe. My reputation was based on just me putting in work. I was una persona fría, a very cold individual and it didn’t take long for the streets to take notice.

And take notice it did.

“You handled yourself very well, mi hermano,” Tres Locos was beaming as I walked into his office which was in the back of a local strip club with his actual brother, Carlos, in tow. “Job well done. You handled that puta with no problema. I’m glad that Starlos is in good company.”

Starlos smiled but I knew he was a little jealous his own brother was given me more attention than him but that’s life. You have to earn stripes to count in this mundo. Props can be a birthright but to keep it you have to get dirty. And looking at Starlos, he was happy just being Tres Locos’ brother and my best friend since we protected him and still made him look like el hombre malo.

“Look, don’t worry about la policía,” Tres Locos, I guess, saw the concerned look on my face. “I have them as you say in my hip pocket. You did good. Muy bien. And the streets is noticing you.”

I smiled. I liked the encouraging words and even though Carlos, aka Starlos, was smiling beside me, I knew he wasn’t liking the idea of the big hermano giving me my props and basically signaling him out.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before Starlos’ jealousy gets the best of him and me.

“Look, hermano, I got some big stuff coming in today,” Tres Locos was now getting to the reason he called us into his office in the first place. “Mucho peso. Heavy. Manny and estúpido Benny got caught on dry run and it’s gonna take mucho tiempo y dinero to get those two culos out so I need you to be in charge of this, hermano. Can you handle it? I know you young, jovencito. But I need you on this, rápido. You on?”

“Si, hermano,” I agreed. I knew this was a chance of a lifetime. A major drug boss was putting me in charge of a package. That was beyond a honor, that was a gran logro. And I was ready.
