Hood Life and Love: It Is What It Is

Three days later and we still had no idea who the snitch was. We had pulled every resource we could think of and things were not looking good. The guys had questioned all the girls and known associates. It was hard questioning them. I felt bad for them all including my sister. However this needed to be done, like yesterday. 


The guys had asked around and all we could get was that the guy that Christian had met was a cop. He was known for taking down organizations from within. He was also known for being a dick. His name was Lieutenant Shark. Word on the street was that he was dirty. He took drugs and money for himself on the regular. He also would pull women over and in exchange for going free he would want sex. He took pleasure in beating up young black boys and hitting on young girls.
