The Stranger [ Sofia ]

[Sofia sighs and tears started running down her cheeks again]

Lefah turned back to Garriso and said, "Yo! Bad nigger, she finally mentioned her name to me, and she is called Sofia...."

[Garriso sounded really rude, as if he didn't care about Lefah helping Sofia.] "Oh, whatever. ---Just be in a hurry for us to leave home, bro. The old lady is waiting for us at home..."

"Hey, don't mind my bro, Sofia. ---I don't know why he is doing this, but trust me, he's very cool and friendly but confusing sometimes. ---Hey, why don't you call your parents or any relatives now before we leave, Sofia?"

[Sofia sighs] "I wish I could, but my phone's battery died some minutes ago, and it's in my car. Um, I tried calling my mother, but she didn't pick up my call earlier. Immediately my car broke down an hour ago...."

"Oh, shit! So, what are we going to do now? I mean to reach your parents, but we can call your parents, even the cops, if you don't mind...."

"Hmm, I only have my dad's phone number in mind, but he is not available in the States now. ---My mom never liked me, so I never had her contact in mind and my phone is also off now."

"Like demn! So, what are we going to do now, Sofia? "

"Really complicated. "I didn't even know this place and that's why I called those bad gangsters to help me out, but they tried to attack me because I was a stranger on this street. Hey, thanks for coming...."

"Whoo, that's fine, and I got this ---um. You know, I didn't even take my phone outside because our mother used to be calling, texting and disturbing us anytime we were outside on the street. That's why I chose not to bring my phone outside, but we can use Garriso's phone to call any contact in your mind or the police emergency number..."

[Sofia sighed, and she wasn't happy with Lefah's idea of calling the police and nobody knew why, but she didn't say a word.]

Lefah turned back to Garriso and said, "Hey, bro. I need your phone to make a second phone call, my man. Yo, just a second, nigger?"

"No, nope my man." [Garriso responded immediately to Lefah and refused to give his phone to Lefah.]

[Lefah sighs] "Why are you doing this G...?"

"Nothing and I don't want to bro. Let's go home before Miss Anna calls my phone for the fifth time."

"Holy shit! ---but you didn't tell me Miss Anna had been calling bro. Hey, I am sorry, like I said earlier. I had no option..." [Lefah sighs]

[Sofia sighs] "So, are you going to leave me alone here because your brother is being rude? But I am not complaining, Lefah. "

"Hey, don't do this Sofia, this is about our mother calling us to come back home and this is how it used to be. Okay fine, I have an idea. And please don't say no to it, Sofia."

"I should let you call the cops, right?" [Sofia continues immediately]

Lefah smiled at her and said, "Hey, no Sofia. I mean, why don't you join us to go home? Maybe you can call your parents in the morning since you don't have the number in mind..."

[Sofia sighs, and it seems she didn't like the idea of joining Lefah at his house because she didn't know Lefah anyway.]

"Hey, don't worry. And you can trust me and join me at my house. Just understand the fact that our mother likes disturbance. She is a good person too, and you will love her, Sofia...."

"No, what if she refuses to let me stay at your house tonight and walks me out badly because I am a stranger..."

"Miss Anna will never do that, and she will understand immediately Mr. Good explain to her, you know, I won't say a word, but I got your back, lady...." [Garriso continues immediately from the back]

Lefah smiled and said to Garriso, "Yo, thanks nigger!" [But Garriso didn't mind him.]

"Oh, whatever..." [Garriso responded immediately to Lefah.]

"Hmm, so what about my car Lefah?" [Sofia continues immediately]

"Hey, don't worry about your car, and it's safe on the street unlike other cars picked over there. Just take everything, like your phone, from your car and lock it. Hey, just clean the tears on your face and get up from the ground because I think your problem is solved without money, like my brother was yelling earlier...."

[Both smile]

[Sofia sighs and stands up from the ground and takes her things from the car and locks it to join Lefah and Garriso home.]

Garriso snickered and said, "Hey, what do you think you're doing, bro? ---like taking a stranger home?"

"Hey, back off nigger. ---that's not your business bro. ---just shut up, hey, just shut up, you feel me?" [Lefah was a little bit annoyed and upset about Garriso because Garriso refused to help when he needed his help.]

"Um, okay fine. Mr. Good…" [Garriso giggles at Lefah]

"Hey, fuck you ---nigger, you think this is funny enough to keep smiling, huh!"

"Yo, chill out, my man. Okay fine, I am sorry, bro...." [Garriso apologized to Lefah but Lefah didn't mind him and walked away.]

"Hey! Just get out. I'm good, but you have a last chance before I accept your apology after defending me at home. I know Miss Anna will surely misunderstand this, but stand my back, not hers, understand?"

"Ha! ---I am sorry Lee, I will go by my mother's words, my man...." [Garriso snickers]

"Hey, fuck you! We are not on good terms right now. "Let's go, Sofia...." [Lefah and Garriso take the stranger, Sofia, home.]

"Hey, not this time bro. "I didn't mean to be this shit, my man..." [Garriso sighs]

"Whoo! But you just did. This is fucking for real Garriso, back off, bro..."

Some minutes later, Lefah, Garriso and the stranger [Sofia] reached Miss Anna's apartment. Lefah sighed and said to Garriso, "Hey, bro. ---Um, you have to stop playing and joking about this real shit and be serious for us to work this together, Garriso."
