Thantom thank you
Beowulf Modernization (it was done in a hurry for my English 12 class)
A thought-filled drug lord named Derrick sits on his throne, being sucked deeper into its 100% polyester cotton cushions. A man who seems to care about his money above all, even his own health is less important. If his customers died he knew that only other will replace them. But one week he noticed something very wrong about his profits. The total $85,000 came up, again he counted it. It was the same as before,$85,000. He had lost half his profit in less than a week! Derrick knew he had to find out what was happening and find out fast. He gathered two of his men and told them to go check on his dealers and search around and find his money. After a day of waiting he received no phone call, no knock on his door with a briefcase full of money, his money did not appear. This bothered him greatly over 2 nights and finally received something but something he did not want. In front of his apartment was a trash bag leaking. Leaking what he already knew, but cut it opened anyways to confirm what he already knew was inside it. As a hand tumbled out he stood up and kicked the bag over, letting all of the other limbs come tumbling out. He cursed and screamed and shouted at whoever did this, within a few minutes he had calmed down and thought of what next to do, what was going to be his next move to get his money back. As he looked over to his counter he saw a picture of his father and his fathers friend, Hector, thats when he made up his mind. He rushed over to his phone and called Hector, who reluctantly answered. Derrick explained everything to him and asked him if he could help him out. Hector said he would gather some men and be over in a day. As Hector had said he arrived the next day with four fierce some brutish looking men. As they walked in Hector grinned and said "please, sit down" in his most comforting voice. Yet none of them moved an inch until Hector motioned them to sit. Derrick walked towards Hector and shook his hand and looked at his face as if he has not seen him in ages. As they both sat down at two adjacent chairs Derrick said "I'm glad you came". "I am always happy to help Johnathan's family in anyway I can" replied Hector. "Yes, well shall we get down to business? As I had told you on the phone my money has been disappearing and I can only make the conclusion that one of my dealers has betrayed me." Derrick slips a yellow packet of papers towards Hector. "I want you to go to every one of my dealers locations and watch them all closely. I want you to find out if anything suspicious, ANYTHING, happens to them. Where they go to, who they speak to, and why they are speaking to them." Hector picked up the packet of papers and fanned through them "And what do you want me to do if I find out who is taking your money?" Derrick leaned back and said smoothly "I want them brought to me if you can without killing them, but if they try and escape you then I suggest you eliminate them. But under all circumstances if you can retrieve my money and the thief alive it will be greatly appreciated." Hector asked "I know that you trust me with getting your money back and I know me and my men can handle this task, but are your own men not fit enough to retrieve what is yours?" Derrick pointed to the only two men of his in the black garbage bag and said "As you can see my men did not survive." Hector stood up, in a low anxious voice said "I promise you I will not let you down Derrick." As Hector and his men headed for the door Derrick replied "I have full faith in you and your men." and shut the door behind them. Derrick watched out through the window as they got into their plain white van and drove off. Derrick knew he had made the right decision in calling Hector. Derrick strolled casually back to his chair and sat down sluggishly. He thought in a few weeks or even days that he would have this thief at his apartment door and on his knees, bloodied and bruised, begging for mercy. He chuckled at the thought, then started to laugh even harder until his hysteria could be heard outside of the whole apartment complex..

But what Derrick did not know was that this so called "thief" had plans other than being found out...

At school everything seemed so oblivious, which was ok. After school I went to Josh's house to build a cage for Boxy(the turtle). That was enjoyable being outside of my house and building something. Also today, as a family, my dad, mom, 2 sisters, brother, and I went out for dinner and I didn't really care that much for it because I was still in a state of obliviousness. We ate at a place called Carabaas or something like that. There food is good, but as all restaurants are were overpriced. I have started on another anime series GunGRAVE. What else have I done? I cannot recall at the moment, but whatevahs
