THE MIRACULOUS ACCIDENT PART I

Rahkell was injured but that accident shifted her Destiny

It's summer time and the streets are always hot.  Rahkell always noticed how the mood would change in the streets when school was out, summer vacation began and mischief was in the air.  Women and men wore less clothes, after all it's hot.  Block parties, barbeques, summer loves & summer break ups.

Rahkell was always into her own world, she had her crushes and she also had common sense.  Never moving on anyone's pace, she moved to her own beat.  It kept her out of trouble but from time to time she would get lonely - there was always an interest available to occupy her time if need be.  

It was after 4PM and Rahkell decided to go for a walk near the broadwalk.  After observing the families playing beach ball, running into the ocean, sun bathing, laughing and enjoying the summer day she decided to continue her walk towards the train station and go visit her sister who lived in another county.

As she headed towards the train station, she caught the eye of a random guy on the corner who was busy making passes at everyone that went by him.  Unless Rahkell crossed the street to avoid him there was no escaping whatever it was that he would say as she crossed his path.

Now Rahkell always walked with her walkman, her headphones were on as she was critiquing yet another mix tape she created over the weekend.  She was pressing rewind as she listened to how she brought in Tiger's tune, Ram Dance Hall from JC Lodge's Sorry.  As she pressed play the random guy decided to say something to Rahkell.  "What's going on shorty?"  he asked as the wave of I've been smoking and drinking offensively crashed into Rahkell's face.  "A tic-tac!"  Rahkell exclaimed, "you need not one put 'em all in ya mouth."  As sassy Rahkell replied to Mr. Random's question she quickly turned and took a few steps backwards and inadvertently stepped on someone's sneaker.  She immediately said sorry but that person pushed Rahkell causing her to fall to the ground.  Mr. Random knew the person who pushed Rahkell and took advantage of the situation.  "Yo Buggie hold that bitch she just dissed me!"  he yelled as he staggered over to Rahkell.  As Rahkell was making her way back up Buggie tried to grab hold of Rahkell both Buggie & Mr. Random were now directly in front of Rahkell.

As Buggie went for Rahkell's arms, Rahkell swiftly moved pushed Buggie & went into a stance with both her hands up ready to defend herself as she realized these guys were about to jump her.  Mr. Random as drunk as he was took a swing at Rahkell, he missed.  As Rahkell dodged it by moving back she came up with a right hook that easily made contact with Mr. Random's jaw.  It looked like slow motion for Rahkell as she watched Mr. Random spin heading for the concrete and throwing up all over Buggie's sneakers.   Buggie exploded into a fierce rage as he looked at Rahkell, he pulled out a blade and Rahkell started to run heading towards the train station.

The train stations in that area are above ground with never ending steps to get to the top of the platform.  Buggie was only a few steps behind Rahkell "gon get yo ass!" he shouted.  Rahkell kept running she didn't have any weapons on her and wasn't trying to get stabbed.  As she approached the never ending steps she got mid way where she felt a tug on her jeans & noticed Buggie's blade near the heal of her sneakers she got cut.  Buggie's blade was a box cutter.  

When Rahkell noticed the blood pouring from her leg she stopped and as Buggie was now in front of Rahkell he called her a bitch "Ya Mutha" Rahkell said defiantly.  As she was loosing blood rapidly and commuters were heading towards the train station minding their own business.  The next train heading out of Rockaway began to signal.  One commuter decided to look for a cop on the platform as she noticed something was awry.  Rahkell knuckled up to punch Buggie as soon as he noticed an officer making his way down the stairwell,  Buggie stabbed Rahkell in her stomach, grabbed her walkman and pushed her over the stairwell.  Rahkell fell almost 20 feet down landing on her back.

The officer was on the move for Buggie he started to give a description over his radio "suspect is a Black Male, 6'2" wearing a white t shirt, black jeans, white sneakers heading southbound on Mott Avenue."

The paramedics were called as the sirens wailed and a crowd began to form around Rahkell's body.

Will Rahkell make it to the hospital?  Will they apprehend Buggie?  Does Mr. Random wake up from his drunken stuper?  Find out the answer to these questions and more in PART II of "THE MIRACULOUS ACCIDENT"  within the next entry of  "DJ'S WAR"
