Gaberial Klyne

The weather outside was terrible. It was raining like you wouldn't believe, the clouds were dark and stormy and there wasn't a soul outside. "Perfect" thought Gabe. "A nice day to go for a walk." He pulled the curtains to a close and dawdled to the other side of his room. As he walked across the room he picked up little bits of crumbs and dirt that he saw. He picked up his clothes from the other day and neatly folded them and put them into his dresser. From there he pulled out a brand new flannel shirt that he bought the other day and put it over white shirt. He left his pajama on has he pulled over his black jeans over them. He went to his closet and opened the door. He yanked his gas attendant jump suit off of the hanger and shoved it in his bag. He hated going to work on such a nice day. He was about the close the closet when he realized he didn't grab any money. He looked at his door and counted to 3. He didn't hear his brother get up yet, which was strange   since he had to be at the gas station in two hours. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he parted his clothes aside to reveal his safe. He put in the in the code, 31-14-15, and swung the door open. Inside the the door, there was a lottery ticket taped to the door. The  numbers read, 6-1-8-15-15-26-25. Those were the numbers read three years before, when he won the lottery.

Gabe had just finished his shift at the station. He was talking to his brother, Alex (everyone called him Thibby). Gabe was annoyed. He had finaly found his father after five years of him and his brother searching for him. New York was a big place and Gabe and Thibby didn't have a lot of resources living in the bronx, on a gas attendants wage. But that never stopped the two of them before. Money was one thing that the brothers refused to get in their way. That's why they bought the cheapest apartment in the neighborhood. They never had support from their father anyways after he had left them, their mother and their sister to suffer.Gabe was sick of his dad, the only reason he wanted to meet him was so that he could punch him in the face. When Gabe walked to his fathers apartment, he felt great. He knew that justice would be dealt out that day. He went, rang the doorbell and waited. It felt like hours before his father finally answered the door. When he did, this was the only thing that Gabe could say. "Why can a man be so inconsiderate of human beings and just leave them there to rot in a terrible world?". Gabe knew right away that his father recognized him. His father only said, "I gave money for you and your siblings, I gave you all the same amount of money I had when my father walked out on me and my mother. I made it equal for all of you, your siblings and myself!". Gabe said "sometimes equality doesn't equal justice." Gabe left his fathers house and never returned. He never punched his father or yelled at him. All he did was get frustrated and walked home in the rain. When he got to the gas station to talk to his brother. His brother understood and bought him a lottery ticket to make him feel better. The numbers read 6-1-8-15-15-26-25. Gabe won the lottery two days later. He split the money with his siblings and invested his share into a ring of bootleggers. He was the boss.

Two years later and he's walking to the gas station to work, then his making his way to the "office". He's rich, powerful and can do whatever he wants. No one can get in his way, because he doesn't trust anyone enough to do it, and he isn't a pushover. He regrets nothing except for one thing, never giving his father what he deserved.
