"Last night Mo told me that some dude stopped her at the club basically saying they want Khadijah by 9 o'clock tonight or it's gone be a problem." I said to the guys and Monique.

"Okay so what's up? Do we wait here and get ready for war?" Mark asked.

"No, we need a well thought out plan because we don't know their motive. We need to know why they doing this and who they working with." I said running my hand over my head.

Khadijah walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. She wasn't aware of the fact that someone was looking for her tonight and we all decided not to tell her for her sake and ours.

"What y'all up to?" Khadijah asked sipping from her water bottle.

"Nothing." We all answered.

"Okay do y'all think I'm stupid? Y'all been whispering all morning and talking about something and I want to know. Don't lie to me."

"Baby it's nothing just drop it okay?" Trey said standing to hug her.

She moved his arms out of the way not trying to hear what he was saying.

"Fine you guys won't tell me then I won't press the issue. But just know that I'm not stupid, I know it has something to do with me though and if I get killed over something that could've been avoided just because y'all don't want to tell me then that's on y'all." She said with tears in her eyes and stomped upstairs.

We were all in deep thought when Mo's phone rang. She looked around at all of us not knowing the number. I nodded my head telling her to answer the phone.

"Hello?" She said putting the phone on speaker.

"Well if it isn't the lovely Monique." The voice lingered.

"Who is this?"

"Oh you don't remember my voice from the other night." He said with a dry laugh.

"What do you want?" Mo asked as I nodded my head.

"You know what the fuck I want, so don't act dumb. Is Khadijah going to be at her house tonight? Nine o'clock? Alone?" He asked.

Monique paused while we all looked at her.

"I'm guessing that's a yes, because either way I'm sending my men. Oh and to make this easy and painless for her, have her already tied up with something over her head, maybe even knock her out. Got it?"

"Yea I got it. 9 o'clock."

We all looked at her confused like she had just lost her damn mind.

"Great," he paused taking a puff from something, "oh Monique, maybe after this all goes well you and I can celebrate our new friendship." He said blowing out smoke before laughing and hanging up.

"Yo what the fuck? What you mean yea?" I asked getting in her face.

She wasn't saying anything but she was staring at me which was pissin' me off.

"Hello!"

"Because I'm gonna be here, not Dijah." She yelled getting back in my face.

"What you mean?"

"He said have something over her head and have her tied up. And he's sending his men, he himself isn't coming. So you guys tie me up put something over my head and leave me here. I'll be the one they take."

"Wait. What? Why would we do that? What problem would that solve?"

"It'll buy y'all some damn time for one. And for two I can tell you who they workin' for and what's goin' on."

I stared at her for a minute letting everything that she was saying register in my head.

"Okay and what's gone happen when they find out you not Khadijah?"

"I don't know I didn't think about that. But right now that's the only option we have. We don't have time for what if's."

We all looked around at each other not knowing what to say. But she was right, that was the only plan we had right now and we didn't have much time.

"Trey you take Khadijah to a hotel so she will be safe and out the way. While you're gone we'll tie Mo up and shit. You need to be back here by eight thirty so we can be in our truck ready to follow them." I said giving everyone direct eye contact.

Head nods were given and everyone was ready to get this shit rollin'.

Six thirty had rolled around pretty quick, I had fell asleep on the couch and was now up just thinking about tonight.

"What you doin'?" Mo asked walking down the steps.

"Shit, chillin', what's goin' on with you?"

"Nothing much," she paused sitting on the couch next to me playing with her fingers, "Korie I'm scared. I've been through a lot of things in my life, but this is terrifying." She put her head in her hands.

"Come here man." I said sitting up straight.

She moved closer to me and I grabbed her for a hug.

"You don't have to do it Mo, we can just handle this shit without sending nobody with them." I said rubbing her back.

"No cause then it will never end, somebody will come for y'all again. And that's too much, I don't want none of y'all dying." She laughed wiping her face. "And plus I need to prove my loyalty to Khadijah to you since you don't trust me.

"You don't have to prove nothin' to me. I know you a good friend. I was just bein' a asshole." I laughed.

"Yea well regardless of the fact, I wanna do this cause I wanna know who after my best friend too. So I'll do whatever it takes."

"You know, you cool with me lil' bit." I said gently pulling at her hair.

"Lil' bit? What kind of nickname is that?" She asked mushing my head.

"Yours."

We stared at each other for a moment and I was beginning to get lost in her eyes until my phone started ringing. Shit.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lyric and I are going to the movies at 9 and the movie won't be over until 10:30. Is that too late? She really wants to go but we got lost in time today." Carmen said through the phone.

"Uh, nah that's cool I actually have some business to take care of so I'll pick her up when I'm done."

"Ok sounds great. Bye."

"Ight."

I hung up and noticed Mo had laid down on the other end of the couch.

"Tired?" I asked her.

"Yea I had been up thinking so I couldn't really sleep earlier, but since you're right here I wanted to catch some z's before I'm kidnapped." She said with an uneasy laugh.

"Alright lil' bit, get you some rest."

—————-
8:15 p.m.

Mo

"Ouch, that's too tight you idiot!" I yelled at Ced.

"Damn my bad, I'll loosen it up for you."

Trey had just walked back in from taking Dijah to a hotel.

"Alright we good?" Trey asked.

"Yea we just gotta put this bag over her head." Raymond said holding up a black bag.

"So to run down everything so there is no confusion, Mo, we will be outside in the truck waiting for them to take you. When they come in the house, act like you unconscious so they won't try nothin'. When they get you in the car we'll be behind them discreetly followin' them to see where they takin' you. Your job is to find out everything we need to know. Okay?"

"Okay but how will I get the information to you?"

"When the time is right we'll get you out of there." Korie said finishing a knot around my ankles.

"And when will you know when the time is right?"

"When the time is right."

I stared at him because I hated how he switched up how he acts, just hours ago we were cool and having a conversation and now he's being an asshole again.

"Last thing." Mark put the bag gently over my head and tied it to where it wasn't hard for me to breathe.

"You good?" Korie asked lifting the bag a little.

"Yea I'm fine." I said feeling tears at the brim of my eyes.

"Ight we out." Trey said and they all followed suit out the door.

"Lord be with me."

—————
I waited for what felt like hours before there was a knock at the door. After about two minutes the door was kicked in and I heard loud footsteps roaming. I dropped my head and jumped into character.

"In here!" I heard an unfamiliar voice yell.

The bag was snatched off of my head but I didn't let that get to me. I played as if I was unconscious like I was told.

"What's up boss?" I heard one of the men say after his phone rang.

"Yeah we got her....yes I'm lookin' at her...okay bye."

As soon as he hung up his phone a hard punch was thrown to my stomach. I couldn't help but groan in pain.

"Oh that woke you up." The man said in my face.

"Get her to the truck."

That was the last thing I heard before I was hit and blacked out.

___________

Cold water was thrown on me and I swung my head up gasping for air. I looked around to see where I was but I couldn't make out the setting. There were three men standing in front of me and they were all unmasked but I didn't recognize any of them.

"Khadijah, Khadijah, Khadijah....how ya been?" The man standing directly in front of me said.

I didn't say anything I just stared at him waiting for the run down of who he was. He looked like the oldest one out of all of them but this isn't who harassed me at the club.

"You don't look too happy to see me baby."

"I'm not."

I guess that's not what he wanted to hear so he sent a backhand to my face. I could taste the blood in my mouth as my face stung.

"You don't talk to daddy like that, okay? You've always had a smart mouth but I know what to do with it."

He looked at the other two men and they walked out the room closing the door before exiting.

The man left standing before me unbuckled his pants and pulled down his boxers. He pulled out his member and began stroking himself.

"Ohhh you remember when I took your sweet virginity. Ummm best pussy I ever had. It was so tight and the way you cried and begged for me to stop just sparked a fire in me."

I stared at him as he continued to work his hand. He came close to me and grabbed the back of my head pushing himself up to my mouth. I sealed my lips together and moved my head in different directions trying not to give him access.

There was a knock at the door and a female walked in. She looked shocked at what was taking place before her as she shook her head.

"Gerald what the hell? What are you doing?" She said.

"Gerald?" I whispered to myself. I knew that was the name of the man that raped Khadijah. Which is why he was referring to himself as 'daddy' because he was her adoptive dad.

He was blocking my view so I couldn't get a good look at her.

"What do you want? Didn't I tell you to knock and wait before coming in here?" He said walking over to her and slapping her.

"I'm sorry." I heard her say in a soft voice.

"What do you want? And make it quick."

"I brought the girl." She said holding her face.

"Well that's some pretty damn good news." Gerald said turning to me.

"Looks like you have company," he said walking towards me, "get her in here!" He yelled to the girl.

I looked towards the door and moments later I couldn't believe what was before me.

"Carmen?" I said with disbelief in my voice.

I looked down to the little girl and it was Lyric. She looked like she had no clue what was going on but she had purple marks on her wrists and she looked like she'd been crying.

I knew I was seconds away from either getting killed or beaten. Carmen knew exactly who I was, especially from our encounter the other day.

Carmen studied my face for a minute and then she finally spoke.

"Good to see you Khadijah." She said with a slight smirk on her face.

What the hell?
