Never Take a Risk It had been a
slaughter. In a meaningless battle in the
slums where they lived, the gang leader had
slit the throat of a boy he thought was too
slick. Knowing the leader’s
slogan to be “never take a risk”, the younger members were dissatisfied.
As a small group of them
smuggled his body out in the night
at a snail’s pace, the redhead who spoke with a
slur snarled that he was leaving the gang. The others knew it wouldn’t be easy. First they would have to
slay their leader, after talking about it, they decided to
smother their leader the next night as he was sleeping on the
slate he called a bed.
Slumping together to the ground because of the weight of the dead boy, the redhead said he wanted a
snack. No one else was hungry except for the new girl who was wearing red
slippers. She had been found all alone
on the sly the week before. As they
smacked their lips on the chocolate that was now also
smeared over their faces the redhead looked
slyly at her and said that with him the new leader there would be a
slot for a new queen. She smiled back and said she was available as she reached down to pick up the
sling they were using to carry the dead boy. That was the signal and they all grouped together to carry the boy on their backs as if they were
snails.
But as the
smog fell on their
slum in the afternoon of the next day two more bodies were found. Someone had alerted the boss and the redhead and the girl with red
slippers were also dead. “Never take a risk”, the leader muttered. And everyone knew there would never be a new leader of this gang.
千万不要冒险 那是一次
屠杀。在他们居住的
贫民窟进行的那场毫无意义的战斗中，黑帮老大把一个他认为太
圆滑的男孩的喉咙
切断了。由于知道老大的
口号是“千万不要冒险”，年轻成员们都心怀不满。
晚上一小群人把他的尸体
以极慢的速度偷偷地弄了出来，说话有点
含糊不清的红发人
咆哮着说他要离开这个黑帮。其他人知道不会那么容易说走就走，他们的首先
宰了他们的老大。一阵商量之后，他们决定第二天晚上趁他称作床的
石板上睡觉的时候把他
闷死。
由于男孩的尸体太重，大伙儿一起
突然倒下 了。红发人说他想吃个
快餐，其他人都不觉得饿，除了那个新来的穿着红
拖鞋的女孩。上一个星期有人发现她
偷偷地一个人在干着什么。在他们
咂着嘴吃巧克力并且满脸都被巧克力
弄脏的时候，红发人
狡诈地看着她说如果他来做老大，就会有一个
位置给新王后。她也笑了笑，一边弯腰去捡他们用来抬男孩尸体的
吊索，一边说他可以去找她。那是他们的信号，大家一齐把男孩背在了背上，就好像他们是些
蜗牛。
但是第二天下午当
烟雾笼罩着
贫民窟的时候，他们又发现了两具尸体。有人通知了老大，红发人和穿红
拖鞋的女孩也被干掉了。“千万不要冒险”，老大小声说道。每个人都知道这个黑帮决不会有新老大。
