The Lover and the Firefly

Is love possible for the number two man in a gang or will he be fighting all his life just to find what he is looking for?

Tony B. is the unofficial number two in the Latin Lovers gang in Brooklyn, NY. He gained the rank and the respect it held because he had known his leader Rickey since grade school and they were best friends.

For a long time Tony had been thinking he was over the whole gang thing and started to think about what his future held. One night Rickey told Tony that a few of the LL came to him with their concerns about why Tony would go missing in action and no one would know where he was for days. He took the opportunity to tell him he wanted out of the gang to pursue a future with the woman he loved.

Rickey wished him well and told him he'd tell the rest of the gang at the meeting in the morning.

Just when Tony thought all was well he was running for his very life, what about the woman he loved?

Would she make a run for it or stay by her man?
