Unknown female: where are you going honey?

A large man with a buzz hair cut and a 5 o clock shadow turns around to respond to the question.

Man- I’m just hitting up the gym. Ill be back in a few.

The man picks up his gym bag and throws on his training suit. Before leaving the house he blows a kiss to the female and heads out.


--Entering the car—

The man pops the trunk and drops his bag and then proceeds to unlock the door. During the process of entering his vehicle he takes out his cell phone and dials a number. After a short few seconds somebody answers.

Man- Hey Anthony its me Mayhem. Yeah, I’m headed to the gym right now, I was wondering if you got everything ready for tonight man?

……

Mayhem- Alright cool. Look I’m going to need to take care of a few things first. Once I’m done taking care of my business I’ll meet you in your apartment. After that we should be ready to head out.

……

Mayhem- I told her I was considering it but the fact is I came to a definite decision. She is aware that I am leaving tonight. She just doesn’t know how long it’s going to be.

Mayhem- Either way I need to provide for us and the baby. As long as I bring the pay checks she shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Anyways man, I’ll talk to you in a little while. Bye.

--hangs up –

Mayhem drives to the local gym and parks nearby. Once he gets out of his car he rushes to the back of the trunk to pick up his bag and his belongings. He then shuts the trunk and enters the doors of the gym.

“Yo Mayhem” shouts out an average sized African-American with a bald fade and a goatee. He’s wearing an over all red gym suit. His white shirt under it is soaked in sweat. He also has a silver chain around his neck and a silver crescent moon hanging from it.

Mayhem turns around to greet the man.

Mayhem- Salaam Ali. Whats happening?

Ali- Just helping the youngsters how to box. Training some amateurs how to properly work out. So I guess you’re leaving tonight, huh man?

Mayhem- Indeed I am. I wish you could have come along. Anthony sure is. But you on my side, that just would have given me so much more confidence on what I am about to do.

Ali- Man, you know I would love to join you but I have things here to take of. Anyways who else could you trust other then me to take care of your lovely girlfriend?

Mayhem smiles at the man.

Ali- If you only knew how proud I am of you man. I remember seeing you entering here for the first time you came to me and asked me if I could help you out. I knew from there on that after all you been through that its going to take time for me to get through you. But see I did it. Along the way I did all I could to help you realize that life is just a test. You never have the opportunity to miss out on being successful; you only have the given choice to give up. So witnessing you humbling yourself to me I knew from that instance I can help redeem yourself.

Mayhem- And you did Ali. This is why I’m here. My last session and then I’m out. Its time to go and get mines man.

Ali- Its going to get hard used not seeing you any longer. But hey as long as you think you are doing the right thing. You have my support.

Mayhem- Thanks Ali and I still have something to show you. I brought it with me.

Mayhem and his coach/friend Ali go back to the gym and enter a private room. Mayhem unzips his bag and digs his hand deep inside to take something out.

Mayhem- Here it is.

Mayhem takes out a picture of a fairly old man whose hair has turned completely white and has a plain face on in the photo.

Ali- Who is it?

Mayhem- This man right here is my grandfather. I heard he wasn’t doing very well and I was thinking maybe if I get accepted back and I get enough money I might go and give him a visit. I know he’ll never expect me coming but I feel this is a priority. My mother hasn’t seen him for 4 years now and I know it would mean a lot to all of us.

Ali- I don’t see why you shouldn’t go but why are you telling me this?

Mayhem- I am telling you because I want you to know that no matter how this whole thing will turn out, you were the only man in my life that I truly looked up to. I just want to show you how much of your support means to me. You are definitely a part of my family. And my girl feels the same way. Like I said, if this trip or this journey doesn’t work out according to my planning, I hope you will be there for me.

Ali seems touched as he puts his hand on Mayhems shoulder.

Ali- No doubt my close friend. No doubt…

--Later that night—

Mayhem is talking to Anthony on his cell phone.

Mayhem- The situation has been settled. I said goodbye to everybody else but my baby. I need you to get ready my man. I will be there in a few, no doubt.

Anthony- I am ready as I can be. Everything is packed. Your clothes my clothes, tooth brush, magazines, its all there. I got everything in the car. All I need is to wait for your arrival and we are ready to go.

Mayhem- That’s what I’m talking about. Let me just go and say my farewells and lets do this.

_The End_
