Green Chapter One
Lying in an ocean of her own blood
drowning in her own blood.
Her lungs burning from the bullet wounds
she never thought this is how her
life would end. Her tears start to flow as
she thought of the years she spent
slithering with
snakes. Her job at the BNB bank made it
easy to launder money for the Black
Crime Syndicate.
It was six years ago on June the sixth that
her life went to hell. Upset at the thought
of being late
for work Kenya floored the gas pedal.
Weaving in and out of traffic hoping she
didn't get a ticket.
Arriving at the BNB bank right on time.
Kenya rushed inside and greeted everyone
with a warm friendly smile.
A short while later the most attractive man
she had ever seen entered the bank. Lost
in his good looks Kenya had to find the
words "May I help you?" He introduced
himself. "Yes my name is Malik Maxwell
Williams. I would like to open an
account". "Mr. Williams please follow me
to my office". Malik was in Kenya's office
for twenty minutes before making his
departure. Kenya made it up in her mind
that she would get to know Malik on a
personal level.
