7:30pm
As Darnell is in his car traveling to Jackson's Steakhouse, he has a big smile on his face in anticipation of meeting Shantelle. As he's driving, he is having a mental reflection.....

Darnell's POV
Well...finally the time has come. I am finally going to be able to have a date with Shantelle. There's not enough to express my anticipation of spending the evening with that stunning beauty. Ever since our chance meeting at the supermarket, I must say that I've been rather smitten by her. And while I'm aware that she is a married woman, I'm confident that fate brought us together. In my mind, her marriage is merely a formality. Because let's face it, that uncouth spouse of hers, has nothing on me. Judging from their residence, they don't lack for financial resources. However, it doesn't matter because what I may lack in money, I make up for in charisma and class. As far as I'm concerned, after an evening with me, I think she'll reevaluate her marriage to that hooligan. He's living, breathing proof that money can't purchase all the class and charisma in the world.

Meanwhile at Jackson's Steakhouse Parking Lot.........

Joshua, Jon and Solo are sitting in their car waiting for Darnell.

"Aye Uce, where's this muthafucka at? Ain't he late? It's already 7:30." Jon asked his twin, looking at the time on his phone.

"Don't worry 'bout it. That thirsty ass muthafucka'll be here. I'm sure he think he gone sweet talk his way into some pussy. He don't even know that he finna die." Joshua said, laughing which caused his two brothers to start laughing as well.

At that moment, the trio saw headlights approaching them as a car turned into the parking lot...

"Aye y'all...I think this is him right here, so get ready." Josh said as he noticed the car pulling into a parking space, shutting off the headlights.

When the car door opened, it was Darnell.

"Is that him?" Solo asked.

"Yeet!" Josh yelled excitedly.

"So how we gonna do this? Cuz we gotta move quickly!" Jon asked.

"Aight so since you drove, just stay in the drivers seat, cuz soon as we grab his ass, pop the trunk and we'll throw him in. I'm gonna go because he know my face and he won't think nothing is up if he see me. I'll start talking to him to distract his ass and you Solo slip up behind him and hit him from the back with that Samoan spike, that should knock his ass out. We throw him in the trunk and I'll text big Uce letting him know we on the way. Cool?" Josh said.

"Gotchu."

As Darnell gets out of the car, Josh and Solo get out of the car and Josh makes his way toward him.....

"Aye homie, don't I know you?" Josh asks as he approaches Darnell.

"Excuse me?" Darnell replied haughtily, looking his nose down at him.

"I said don't I know you? I've seen you before." Josh replied, blocking his path in an attempt to distract him.

"No...I'm afraid you're mistaken. Now if you'll pardon me. I have a date waiting for me." Darnell said as he tried to continue on his path to the restaurant.

"Nah fool. Ain't nobody waiting for you....at least not in the restaurant....DARNELL!" Josh said as an evil smile crept on his face.

At that moment, the color drained out of Darnell's face and his expression changed from annoyance to pure shock.

"H-how in the world do you know my..." He began to say, before Solo grabbed him by his collar and proceeded to give him the Samoan spike, knocking him out cold.

By that time, Jonathan, who had witnessed the entire scene, sped over to where Josh and Solo were and immediately popped the trunk.

"Hey Uce, hurry up and help us put this muthafucka in the trunk!!" Josh yelled as he and Solo were holding Darnell's unconscious form.

Jon quickly got out of the car and helped his brothers put him in the trunk.

"Let's get outta here before somebody see us!" Jon yelled as the trio jumped in the car and immediately sped off.

"Aye fam....text big Uce and let him know we got playboy." Jon said to Joshua as they were headed to the warehouse.

"Yeet!"

Meanwhile at the warehouse.....

Joe was lining up his weapons on the table  with the most evil and most sinister look on his face.....

As he was organizing his tools, he received a text message notification....

Josh: We got his ass Uce! And we on the way. So get ready 😁😈😈

Receiving that text message caused Joe to have such an adrenaline rush that his hands began to shake and he started to hyperventilate in anticipation of getting his hands on this murderous piece of shit. So in attempt to preserve his energy, he sat down and took deep breaths to calm down.

Meanwhile.......

The trio is driving down the highway headed to the warehouse, when they suddenly heard loud
knocking coming from the trunk...

"Aye y'all hear that?" Solo said, looking over his shoulder.

"Yeah sounds like it's coming from the trunk. Y'all think playboy woke up?" Jon asked.

"Probably did, but it don't matter cuz we almost there. Muhfucka bout to get that work, and that trunk don't have a safety lock." Josh laughed, causing his brothers to erupt in laughter as well.

A short time later, Joe heard a car pull up. It had to be his cousins because no one knew about this warehouse besides himself and his foreman Kevin and he was currently on vacation in Canada with his family...

Joe came out of the building as it was indeed his cousins who were pulling up. He greeted them as they stepped out of the vehicle.

"What up uce?" Josh greeted with a smile.

"What's good, so you say you got a special delivery for me?" Joe asked, already knowing what they had.

"YEET!!!" Josh yelled in excitement as he opened the trunk.

As Josh opened the trunk, Darnell became hysterical....

"Ahhh get away from me you lowlife hooligans!!!" He screamed.

"Y'all bring his ass inside. I'll be waiting." Joe said calmly as he walked off and back into the warehouse.

"Aye shut up before we kill you!! Getcho ass out the car!!!!" Jon snapped at Darnell.

"No!!!! Take me back to my car immediately!!!" Darnell yelled.

Without saying another word, Solo hit Darnell with another Samoan spike knocking him out again.

"Damn Solo!!! Whatchu do that fo'?! Big Uce said bring him in the warehouse!!!" Josh asked.

"He wouldn't shut up. So I shut him up." Solo said quietly, as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Jon and Josh just looked at their younger brother, rolled their eyes and shook their heads.

"Well come on, let's get this heavy muthafucka inside." Josh said as they pulled him out of the trunk and carried him in the warehouse.

As they brought him in, Joe noticed that Darnell was unconscious. Josh was carrying his legs and Jon had him by the shoulders. Soon as they got him in, they unceremoniously dropped him on the floor like the sack of garbage that he was.

"What happened to him?" Joe asked pointing down at Darnell.

"Solo knocked him out again." Jon said as he looked at his younger brother.

"Aight well nice work y'all. I got this from here." Joe said, still looking down at Darnell.

"So what else you want us to do?" Jon asked.

"Leave. I'll text you when I'm done." Joe snarled, still not taking his eyes off Darnell, his lips twitching and teeth baring angrily in anticipation of tearing this piece of shit to shreds.

"Um....you sho' Uce? You don't need us to...." Josh started to say before Joe gave him a stare so cold he could have frozen to death.

"Aight we gone. Come on y'all." Jon said to his brothers as he held his hands up in surrender.

After the twins and Solo left, Joe noticed that Darnell was starting to wake up.

"Ughhh." Darnell groaned as he was in all fours trying to stand up.

"RISE AND SHINE BITCH!!!!!" Joe yelled as he delivered a vicious running kick to Darnell's ribs, flipping him over on his back.

"Ugghhhh." He continued to groan and now was coughing violently.

Joe grabbed him and snatched him to his feet, making him look him in the eyes.

"Do you remember me muthafucka?!!!" Joe asked, yanking Darnell so close to him, he could smell the Listerine on his breath.

"I don't think so." Darnell responded.

"Oh come now. Of course you do." Joe replied before delivering a hard punch to his jaw causing blood to fly out of his mouth.

"Arrggggh." Darnell groaned.

"Certainly you remember me, I'm the guy who's married to the beautiful woman that you came out to meet tonight on what you thought was a date. You know, the one whose husband told you numerous to stay away from? The one that beat the brakes clean off yo' ass and got locked up for it?!!!!! Yeah! I'm THAT crazy muthafucka!!!!" Joe growled, as he delivered a punch to Darnell's nose causing blood to splatter out of it.

"My nose!!!! You broke my bloody nose asshole!" Darnell whimpered.

"And obviously you haven't learned your lesson, because you outchea making dates with a married woman....MY woman!!!!!" Joe yelled as he delivered another punch to his face.

"You're a bloody animal!!!" Darnell screamed holding his nose.

"Muthafucka....I'm just getting warmed up. And for the record, I'm not the animal....you are the one that's a fucking animal, you cowardly, murderous piece of shit!!!!" Joe screamed, as he kneed Darnell in the stomach.

"Murderer? You've gone mad. I'm no murderer!!" Darnell coughed.

"Bullshit!!!!! Not only are you are murderer, you're a thief and a big ass liar!!!!!" Joe yelled.

"You're bloody insane!!! Help!!!!! Somebody help me!!!!" Darnell yelled.

Joe laughed hysterically at Darnell's attempt to call for help. The idiot didnt realize that they were in the middle of nowhere, with no houses or businesses for miles around, his pathetic cries for help would never be heard. As a matter of fact, the asshole would never be seen or heard from again......

"What the fuck are you yelling for help for? Nobody can hear you and they never will." Joe said, as he continued to laugh.

"Youre insane!"

"Oh on the contrary, Im perfectly sane. Am I vengeful? Yes. Am I angry and full of hate? Sure. But insane? Absolutely not. And right now, my guy, I'm gonna be your judge, jury and executioner, because you have committed several crimes!!!!" Joe proclaimed.

"I don't know what in bloody hell youre talking about!!" Darnell said, still holding his nose and in between coughs.

"Oh you don't? Well allow me to refresh your memory. About 10 years ago, you and a buddy of yours, broke into a house. When you broke in that house, an elderly woman was at home. Now you and your buddy's goal was to burglarize the house and steal shit. But you didnt count on anyone being home. When this old lady told you that it was her son's house and to get the fuck out, you told her to shut up. When she attacked your friend, she was beating his ass. But yall couldnt have that, so like the cowardly sack of shit that you were, you couldnt have your ass kicked by an old lady, so what did you do? YOU CUT HER FUCKING THROAT!!!!!!!!" Joe yelled.

"Ok, that was a decade ago. So what is your bloody point? You knew the old bat or something?" Darnell scoffed.

Joe blinked his eyes in disbelief. He couldnt believe that this asshole was so arrogant. Didnt he know that he was about to die. Maybe he didn't care. Joe thought to himself.

"That old "bat" as you call her...... WAS MY BELOVED MOTHER!" Joe screamed in rage.

"So bloody what, she's dead, what's done is done." Darnell said, nonchalantly.

At that moment, Joe was tired of dealing with Darnell. He had planned to torture him and make him beg for mercy. But now, he was just fed up, so he pulled out his .357 Magnum and shot Darnell twice in the head, killing him instantly.

Joe stared at Darnell's lifeless body for a few minutes, trying to process what had just happened. He had killed a man, but for some strange reason, he felt nothing. It was over and he had exacted vengeance for his mother's murder and the disrespect of his marriage.

At that moment, he sent Josh a text....

Joe: Y'all can come back. Im done.
