Tasha

"Get the fuck up." I pushed his hanging head to the side and stood right in front of him.

He groaned and slowly opened his eyes, scanning the room, before taking a deep breath in, and exhaling loudly.

"They still ain't got here yet?" He said to himself.

"Nope, they're still not here, so you know what that means? I have to kill you to let them know that this isn't a game."

I walked over to the table grabbing his phone and dialing Korie's number again. It went to voicemail and I began to speak.

"Hey baby, it's Tasha. Obviously you think I'm a joke so to make you believe, I have no other choice than to take out your frien-"

The door creaked open and I looked to see who it was, and of course, right on cue Korie waltzed in looking like a sexy piece of eye candy.

"I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show." I smirked and tossed Antoine's phone on the table.

"You one crazy ass bitch, you know that! What the fuck is wrong with you!?" He clenched his back teeth.

"That's no way to talk to the mother of your only child, now is it?"

"Fuck you, you ain't no mother. You a delusional ass psychopath who needs help." He walked over to Antoine and tried untying him.

"Don't touch him." I held the gun up to Korie. "If I don't get what I want, he's dead, and so is your fake ass girlfriend."

"Keep my girl out of this Tasha."

"Keep my girl out of this Tasha." I mimicked. "You must not know what type of girl you got on your hands. She's a lying, manipulating, traitor."

"Yo what the fuck you talkin' bout?"

"She isn't the saint you paint her out to be. All this is happening because of her, you always said there's a snake in every circle, and yours is right under your nose."

"Tasha, what are you talkin' about." He flared his nostrils and I knew what I was saying had him feeling some type of way.

"Monique has been working with the enemy the whole time."

"And who exactly is the enemy?"

"Oh you thought Carmen was dead?" I laughed and bent over to catch my breath. "Monique and Carmen are sisters, don't you get it? Why else would Monique still be alive after she was so called kid-knapped by them."

He shook his head and paced back and forth.

"Don't believe her bro." Antoine said glaring at me.

"I'm sure you're wondering how I got all of this information. How else would I have known where you were after all of these years."

"So you work with Carmen too huh?"

"I guess you can say that, but I'm doing my own thing. I'm supposed to be bringing Khadijah to her but all I want is my family back. If I get that, I'll kill Carmen and leave Khadijah alone, but I want Monique completely out of the picture."

"What the fuck makes you think I'd believe you?"

"Watch this."

I walked over to the table that had my phone on it, and pulled up a video of Monique and Carmen talking.

The look on Korie's face was priceless as he watched the footage. I can't lie and say I'm not happy that I'm the one ruining everything they had going on, cause I don't care. As long as I get my family back, I'll do whatever it takes and take down anyone in my way including Khadijah.

"When was this?" He asked moving the phone from his view.

"Two weeks ago. She was ordered to take out Antoine, but I guess she got cold feet because it's taking her longer than expected. So Carmen sent me to do the job, but this is more personal."

"And why Carmen want Antoine dead so bad?"

"To hurt Trinity of course."

"Because Trinity was working for them." He finished my thought.

"Exactly, and now she's looked at as a traitor and Carmen wants to take out everyone she loves and then her."

"What the fuck you mean everyone she loves? I'm all she got, our parents are dead, we have no grandparents or any other family." Antoine jerked in his chair trying to get loose.

I laughed hysterically at his statement, because his parents are very well alive.

"Anthony and Marsha, notorious power couple of Chiraq. Hate to break the news to you but they're not dead."

"Bitch keep my parents' name out ya mouth."

"Or what? You're gonna kill me?" I laughed and walked over to Korie.

"All of this could be over if you just come back to me, do you know how I feel knowing I have a daughter in this world that doesn't even know me or know that I care about her?"

"That's your own fuckin' fault, you decided to leave because you couldn't handle it. That's my daughter, not ours, and she don't give a fuck about you, just like I don't."

"Then why did you come Korie? Huh? If you don't give a fuck about me like you say, then why are you here?" I got all up in his face and searched his eyes for an answer.

"I'm here for my homie, and to get yo crazy ass out of my fuckin' life!"

"The deal was, I get my family back and he gets set free. It's my way or no way at all, you're worried about the wrong bitch. You got a whole snake, fraud, phony ass hoe in the same house as my daughter. I kept my cool long enough, I'm gettin' my baby Korie! Or I'll take hers!"

"What?" He wrapped his hand around my neck and held a firm grip, forcing me into the wall. "You keep my unborn out of this, cause I'll kill you before you even got the chance."

"Well I guess you'll just have to kill me." I challenged never breaking eye contact with him. "Kill me, kill your daughter's mother to defend somebody you don't even know."

"Come on Korie, don't listen to this bullshit, she just sayin' anything to get under your skin." Antoine butted in.

Shots began to ring out as the words left Antoine's mouth. I didn't know where they were coming from, because no one else was supposed to be here.

Korie

"Everybody move." We all turned towards the door only to see Carmen.

"This shit is gettin' annoying. What the fuck is really up!?" I yelled in anger.

"You had your chance to kill me, now it's my turn." She lifted the gun to shoot but was immediately jolted back by a figure standing behind her.

Behind Carmen stood a slim woman dressed in all black, with sunglasses covering most of her face. From her hands that were showing, I could see she had a nice brown, smooth complexion that looked like a melted Hershey's bar.

"What the hell are you doing?!" She snatched the gun from Carmen's hand.

"I'm doing what needs to be done! These are horrible people! Trey killed the only person I loved, the only person I had left!" Carmen stormed towards me pointing her finger.

"I'm conf-"

"Dre'Mon Green! His right hand man, the one who held it all down while Trey was locked up!" She punched my chest as she spoke each word. "Y'all killed him, after all he did for him!"

"Ma, that ain't got nothing to do with me, but Trey my bro, so if it's an issue with him then we all down to ride. I think you goin' about this the wrong way though."

"It's all wrong! You weren't sent here to kill anyone, your job was specifically to watch them." The brown woman spoke. "Carmen I saved you that night because I knew you could help me. But you got a whole other operation goin' on. Who is this bitch?" She pointed to Tasha.

"Who you callin' a bit-" A slap came across her face before the sentence was even complete.

"I'm calling you a bitch, I didn't stutter, nor did I not make it clear who I was speaking about. I looked directly at you, because I was talking about you." She grimaced and stood directly in Tasha's face as if it were a challenge.

"This is Tasha, I knew of her issues with her baby's daddy so I took that as an opportunity. We both wanted to take down the same people, so I figured why not get a set of extra hands to help me, she gets what she wants, I get what I want." Carmen explains.

"But what was our deal?" The lady backed Carmen into the door.

"You wanted me to keep an eye on Antoine and Trinity."

"What? Who are you to be keeping tabs on me and my sister?" Antoine stared at the lady with confusion written all over his face.

She dropped her head and inhaled, before coming near Ant. Tears began to roll from under her shades, and that's when it clicked for me, but I didn't know if Ant figured it out yet.

"Twanny." She whispered.

Antoine immediately got angry and tried to get himself loose. He cursed and tried every way possible to free himself, until he gave up, hanging his head low.

"Ma, how could you?" He cried. "I needed you! We needed you! You left two kids alone for years and had us both fooled!"

She touched his face making him jump back and stare at her. She dropped down to her knees in front of him, and pulled his body into a hug. After releasing from the hug, she slowly pulled her shades down and all the anger in Twan's face flushed away, and was replaced with a warm look.

"Why?" He whispered.

"I had to, it wasn't my choice, it was your father's. I've always protected you though." Her hand caressed his face as the tears treaded down.

She stood to her feet and turned towards Carmen. Fear laced her eyes as Twan's mom approached her, "For someone who is so good at what they do, you sure don't know how to follow directions. Now you'll have to answer to Anthony."

She untied Antoine and checked his body for any marks or anything. After he assured to her that he was okay, they hugged again, this time longer than the first.

Out the corner of my eye, I saw Tasha quickly aim a gun at Antoine and his mother, but she quickly turned it to me and fired off a shot.

"What the fuck?!" I looked down and my waist was leaking blood.

She shot me in the hip area, but I guess the adrenaline that was rushing caused me not to feel it. A full on gun show was heard as the room began to spin, I've had too many chances, I'm sure this is it for me.

~•Six hours later; ER•~

Antoine

I paced back and forth through the hospital's waiting room floor. Six hours, is how long we've been waiting, and a nigga is getting impatient.

"Can you please get some information, we been here too long to not have anyone bring us some kind of update or anything!" I barked at the receptionist and placed my hands on the back of my head.

"Sir I need you to calm down, or we'll have to have you escorted out."

"Son, come have a seat, she knows just as much as us, okay? Just calm down and relax, I know how you feel trust me, I've been in this position many of times." She gently pushed me into a seat and sat next to me.

I shook my head and slumped down in the chair, wondering how everything could spiral out of control in a matter of seconds.

"I think I deserve an explanation." I sat back and closed my eyes.

I needed something to get my mind off of all of this. I called all the guys to let them know, and I also got them watching over the house for the girls. I didn't wanna tell them anything right now until I know Korie is okay.

"Where's your sister?" She placed her hand on my knee.

"With her friends, she good. You should know since you've been watching us, right?" I scoffed and stood up walking towards the door.

I needed some air, and I needed to get away from all of this bullshit and drama. I don't know when my life took this fast-paced downfall but I'm ready for a change.

I pushed through the doors and let the cold air slap across my face. I wanna be happy that my mama is alive and well, but how could I be happy when for so many years I thought this woman was dead. Most of my hurt, anger, and pain comes from believing my mother and father were no longer here with me.

But there she stands. The conversation we had earlier replays in my head as I stare at her through the glass doors.

"I had to, it wasn't my choice, it was your father's. I've always protected you though."

So where is he? I thought to myself, watching my mom bounce her leg up and down with nervousness. It was as if she was running out of time, or as if she was about to be caught for something. Was she supposed to be here with me?
