The gang and the Arnolds

Chapter 1
The Xiaoying Gang aswell as Akara, the daughter of two Cambodian gang members were in an empty park they commonly hang out at, most people didn’t know they were actually one of the most violent gangs with connections to the Triad.

Maria wore a sleeveless top and Daisy Duke shorts, Devi was pushing his daughter on the swings, Zhao was drinking wine, Liu Wei was sitting next to Feng, who was reading a book on poisons, Mi-Yung and Mila were talking using sign language.

Peter Arnold and his family sat at the park aswell, Bob glared at Maria, who was shuffling her family’s tarot deck in her hands.

”Higher, Papa!” Akara said.

Bopha smiled at her husband and daughter.

Soon later, Akara got bored of the swings and looked at the family.

”Aunt Maria, there’s some people here!” She said.

Maria got up along with Longwei.

”You have got some nerve having those demon cards about!” Bob yelled at Maria.

”Dad!” A man in a wheelchair shouted.

Akara looked at a boy with a hearing aid.

”What’s that?” Akara asked.

Peter was about to say that he was deaf until Maria signed.

”You sign?” He asked while signing.

”Yes, There’s a deaf girl in my group, she’s over there.” She said while signing, then pointed at Mi-Yung.

”That’s a hearing aid.” He said while signing.

”She’s never seen one before, we‘re teaching her how to sign, Mi-Yung doesn’t wear one.” She said while signing.

Diane looked at the two.

“How come she doesn’t wear one?” Peter asked while signing.

”Her father....” She turned to Mi-Yung, signing to her if it’s okay if she told him.

Mi-Yung went over and nodded.

”Her father destroyed her hearing entirely.” She said.

”Akara, turn away.” Maria said.

Mi-Yung took the bandages off her ears, revealing the dried blood and bruising, shocking Peter.

”I’m....sorry...” He said while signing.

”Nooot......your.......fault...” She said while signing, her words were badly strained.

”You are very good at sign language, young lady.” Diane said.

“My adoptive dad taught me how to sign, we all took up learning it when Mila, our mute joined.” Maria said.

Maria the turned to Akara.

”That’s a hearing aide, Akara-chan.” Maria said.

”I just never seen Auntie Mimi wear one.” Akara said to Diana.

Bob slammed his bible.

”Are you a Satanist?!” He shouted at Maria.

Maria glared at his bible.

”Are you a Satanist?!, Answer me!” He shouted.
