Contengency plan

What is going on? I said as my heart skipped multiple beats, I was drinking something but could even barely swallow.
“Cough.” I coughed as the drink spilled on the floor
Why is this happening, I thought I had more time, why.
“are you okay.” El rado said, trying to stretch his hands over to me.
“shrkkkk.” The sound of me vaguely standing up form the heavy metallic but well padded chair.
“Huh.” He exclaimed.
“YO!!” He called unto me but I was already running, I was already lost.

I ran to the gate and before I got there, they were already opened unto me.
My heart ponding, my head spinning, my legs ,moving on sheer will, I was floating in every anxious way possible.
With every step I hoped, with every step I prayed nothing major happened, with every step I was honestly in pain.
MAMA, you are all I have got and if you leave me I may as well die also, I said, running.
I didn’t care for the traffic lights or road regulations.
“Beeeeeep” Beeeeep” Across the street and road at large I ran, I was tired but I couldn’t stop, I kept on going
“You will get yourself killed.” A bastard who almost hit me said as he drove by but finally, the street of the hospital was in view, I had won.

“Hello how can I help you.” A nurse said to me as I entered the hospital but I paid no mind because Evander was in front, I had sighted him but that brought a new kind of fear upon me as I saw him, restlessly fidget, walking from side to side, with his right hand rested on top his left but even with that I knew I needed to go meet him and indeed I did.
“Yo" I said to him with a mellow voice as I panted up and down just to regain stability of my breathing.
“Bro" He replied to me before looking down and shacking his head, his face looked pale he looked terrible, I was worried. I was scared, I didn’t want a bad news but I had to at least get a news, one news at least.
“what did the….” I said to him as my voice carried nothing but worry but he cut me short before I could complete.
“I am sorry bro, I am no help to you I swear and I am so sorry.” He said to me as my heart raced and my hands gave out and started to vibrate.
“Why, what…..where is mama is she okay?” I asked him bracing myself for every word that will leave his mouth.
“She is good bro, she is being attended to at least that’s all I can say .” He said to me as my heart relieved from its tightness.
“….” I inhaled and then exhaled out of relief but then I remembered he said that’s all I can say, what did he mean by that?
“What did you mean by that’s all you can say?” I said to him as my emotions were at a standby.
He looked at me and then he said.
When I rushed her in, she was being attended to but just before you came the doctor said she is good but that’s just for now, she is critical in the sense she can’t even handle a surprise, she can’t get too excited, she can’t get too sad, he recommended that she doesn’t leave the hospital but then he said its just him saying, he said if we could get the money in 2 days the she can stay here as long as possible.” He replied me..

The money, I…..I know I don’t have but there must be a way, there must be a way at least.
..I said to myself after hearing the news and looking down and holding my head but then suddenly.
“are you both her sons.” The voice was the voice of a female.
“uh yes.” We replied as we both looked up.
“Look I suggest you both look for money because she is really critical, she needs some equipment and we cannot provide them for her except paid for because even we don’t have them, he blood pressure was high but that has stabilized now.” She said to us, in a doctors attire, she was the doctor.
“Bro what do we do?” Evander said as he looked down with despair, I could see it in his eyes, he looked helpless.
“we….we bargain, we….I will go to my fathers place tomorrow, I need to ask for help from. Anyone at least.” I said holding my head as worry flooded my face.

*Next day*
It was a plan, I was in the mafia so I could go for a job or so, but I have 42 hours, or I could ask for help, I could get a loan, it will work, I know it will, I said as I approached my fathers house.
Just like before, before I could knock the gate was already open and the same Butler showed up.
“Welcome again young master.” He said to me as he guided me inside, I had the motive and the motive force to look for El Rado, I wanted to talk with him about getting some extra money.
Walking into the compound I spotted him on his phone at the corner I left him yesterday So I walked up to him and I said.
“Yo, what’s up” And then he slowly looked up I see shun with excitement.
“Yo bro, whatsup how are you doing.” He said as he stood up to give me a hug.
He really is a kind person but I guess I am the user here.
“I’m good bro.” I said after the hug.
“ah let me guess the old man right, yeah I isn’t around bro. I talked to him though..” he was saying to me when I cut him short.
“Look Bro i need your help.” I said immediately not letting him land.
“Okay…” He said squinting his eyes in suspicion

“Look I really need money for something very important, my mum is sick and she is in need of medical attention. It got critical and now she is in the hospital. Look I know I am young and I’m very sorry you think I cannot really help you with anything but I can, I relied on the old man but now I don’t even know where he is, I am trying to get to him boy he’s never around so I need to find an alternative because honestly I am lost.” I said swallowing all my pride and asking for help.
“Yoo, I didn’t know that, how much do you need?” He asked showing deep remorse.
“I need 100K but I only have less than 10.” I said to him.
“Hmm..” he replied me, he was clearly contemplating but I was waiting for a reply in anxiety.
“Look bro I need to be honest with you, I want to help you but I can’t give you that kind of money no because I don’t trust you anything but because I don’t have it, but I do have 30K and I am very sure that could at least help you in some way.” He said as my expression went up, I knew I needed more but I was happy he gave just that little to me. I was more than happy I was fulfilled.
“thank you so much bro” I said to him with a smile.
“And I know you still need more so I guess I could put you in a job, in this job you’ll be making 45K in a day but its drugs we are talking of here, are you down?” He said to me with his face immediately transitioning to a serous one.
“I see.” I said back to him nodding my head.
“So are you in?” He said to me.

I know its dangerous, I know its probably illegal but I have to do it for the sake of my mama I will not loose the only chance I have to save the one who bore me.
“I am in.” I replied him with an equally serous face.
