I left and one of them said, “Yo Ben, put that under your hoodie,” it was a tactical armor. Alright folks what’s clinched I pondered internally yet I knew precisely exact thing it was I shuddered to Retarded Holmes House and he was holding up at the entryway I go in and remove my vest and give him the sack endless Bundles of heroin They gave me half to deliver a bundle that might have landed me 20 years in jail Hahahah yet I was an addict and ready to effectively get high.
