Tyrese goes to Disney World Part 3

Tyrese walked Lorena to his Cadillac, opened the doors and threw his stuff in the back seat, and then told Lorena to wait in his car for him while he “paid the bill”.  With Lorena safely out of sight and mind he entered the lobby to settle accounts.  The manager greeted Tyrese with a chipper, “Good Morning,” and Tyrese greeted him with an empty drawer and two holes in his chest in return.

A few hours and a few conversations later Lorena had revealed that her brothers owned a small business in Florida just outside of Miami.  Her brother’s were in the loan and merchandise sales business, she said.  A man like Tyrese could really be of use in the debt collection department if he were interested.  After learning of this Tyrese decided to leave his plans for Disney behind and change course for Miami.  

Once there Tyrese met up with her brothers and immediately started discussing business. They welcomed Tyrese in with open arms.  Lorena had been right; Tyrese was just the sort of guy they had been looking for.  They told him who owed money and who was in for a new deal and he immediately got to work. He left Lorena with her brothers and cruised towards downtown Miami lead by the GPS her brother’s had provided.  It would make a nice fence, Tyrese thought, if the brothers’ payoff didn’t pan out. 

Tyrese rolled up in his Cadillac to a small trailer that put off a mile wide aura of smoke. He got out of his car and walked to the front door.  Just as he went to knock he was greeted by three men. Tyrese threw his 135 lbs frame into the action and stated his business before demanding the money that was owed to the brothers.  What he got was a chest full of lead.  The three men then fled after taking Tyrese’s keys and his car leaving him for dead.  Tyrese laid there for two hours slowly bleeding to death and contemplating the errors of his ways.  Eventually one of the neighbors got tired of hearing his moans and called an ambulance which arrived and rushed him to the local hospital.  Close call, Tyrese thought days later as he recovered from his wounds.  He had been patched up and told that one of the bullets grazed his spine leaving him a paraplegic. In the three weeks he spent in Miami Memorial Tyrese never once thought of his wife and kids back in New York.  Instead all he could think about was how different things would have been if he had just gone to Disney World.  As he wheeled his way out of the hospital on the final day of his stay, for all of his troubles Tyrese was greeted by his Cadillac and a few more shells meant to finish the job.
