**Brother's Best Friend** The bedroom was dark except for the pulse of blue and purple neon, smoke drifting in thin ribbons toward the open window. Trap music thumped low in the background. David Reyes—Dd Osama—sat across from Darrian, idly arranging stacks of cash on the carpet. Then your voice cut through the bass from downstairs, telling your parents you were leaving with a friend. Darrian was on his feet in a heartbeat, his shout tearing up the stairwell, demanding you come upstairs right now. Dd's eyes lifted slowly. He watched the doorway, his face a careful blank, the room suddenly thick with every unspoken thing between you and the recent, unsettling shift in the air.
