“Calm down, Brooklyn, you’ll meet your baby boy soon.” She smirked as she walked away toward the coffee table and picked up a rolled-up dollar bill and sniffed a line of cocaine. She held her head back while holding her nose. This bitch was full of surprises! Hell, I knew Gator never knew his baby mama was a cokehead. “See this shit?” She kicked the table almost knocking it over, “I used to have my habit under control until Chris’s death.”
Now I was panicking; she had nothing to lose at this point and her ass was high as a kite. I had no clue where the hell my cell phone was but I could feel that my apple watch was still on my wrist so hopefully they could still track my location. She walked over to me and pulled my head back by my hair.
“Arghhhhhh!” I screamed out feeling like my hair was being ripped from my scalp.
“Shut up bitch, I’m going to teach you what happens when you fuck with a motherfucking Ortiz. Raul, find the grip pliers.”
Chapter 20
Khaza
“Throw that ass back Angel, I’m not gon’ tell you again.” I slapped her pretty brown round causing her to buck back while pounding her from the behind. I licked my thumb before placing it between her ass cheeks and placing it inside of her booty hole.
“Yessssssssssssss Khazaaaaaa…. ooohhhhh baby, right there. That feels soooooo good.” She moaned out angelically as I continued to punish her pussy relentlessly. I pulled my thumb out her ass and grabbed a handful of her natural curly hair and sped up my strokes making her pussy wetter than a slippery slope.
“Fuck!!!” I cursed under my breath before pulling out and shooting my seeds down the crack of her ass. She collapsed on the bed with a goofy smile on her face, I knew that smile from any woman. She was in love with the kid. I laid down on my back nudging her, “Go get a warm towel so we can clean up.”
The last two days we’d been held up in my old condo which was exactly the way I had left it fucking each other’s brains out. Angel was too scared to do anything at the facility back in Minnesota so I guess you can say we were making up for lost time. I was set to head down to Atlanta tomorrow, I got word from Akbar down in Atlanta that he might have a location on that bitch Kassidy. Supposedly, she was being held in Timbuktu right outside of Decatur.
“This is beautiful baby.” Angel walked along the open windows enjoying the city view and the beach. “This a big difference from cold ass Minnesota.” She walked her fine ass back towards me before grabbing my dick and wiping it off. “So what I’m supposed to do while you’re gone?”
“Ion know. Shid shop, get your hair done whatever girl shit women do. You can’t walk around here in that one outfit you came down with.” I pointed toward her scrubs on the floor and we both fell out laughing. “I’ll leave my card here with you so you can get whatever you need.” I shocked myself as those words left my lips, the old Khaza was never into taking care of a woman but Angel was different she actually meant something to me and never treated me different with my disease.
I pulled her on top of me and kissed her passionately before pushing her head back down and sliding my dick in her warm wet mouth. “Ssssssss.” I hissed, “Damn ma…j-just like that.” Gyrating my man’s in and out of her mouth, watching her trying to adjust to my size. “Stop holding your breath, breathe and let that spit fall. Make that shit nasty.” I coached her closing my eyes and letting my head fall back on the pillow enjoying this pleasurable moment. I could hear my phone vibrating on the nightstand but that shit would have to wait until I got my rocks off.
“Well, at least one of us getting some around here.”
My eyes popped open and landed on Khali’s standing in the doorway with Zo standing next to her. I withdrew my dick from Angel’s mouth as she quickly jumped up and pulled the silk sheets over our naked bodies.
“Damn, Khali what type of time you on?”
“Oh, please, you don’t have nothing I ain’t seen or had before.” She chuckled.
“The least you could do is knock or a phone call would’ve sufficed.”
“We been calling you all day dumb ass, put some clothes on Brooklyn’s missing.” She dropped a bomb on me before walking off into the living room.
What the fuck she meant Brooklyn’s missing? I jumped out of the bed and grabbed a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt.
“Baby, what’s going on?” Angel asked in a panic as I checked the chamber in my .45 to make sure it was loaded. I ignored her as I slipped my feet into a pair of tennis shoes. “KHAZA!” she shouted breaking me out of my war mindset. “What the fuck is going on?” she yelled shocking the shit out of me. I’ve never heard her curse before besides our fuck sessions.
Khali was back in the doorway in a flash, “We have a problem?” she asked sizing Angel up.
Angel kept her eyes on me instead of Khali. “Khali chill, she’s not about that life.” I smirked knowing Khali wouldn’t hesitate to get in a bitch’s ass behind me. Angel was innocent to this lifestyle and for some reason right now, I’d like to keep it that way. “Khali go to the front. I’ll be out in the second.”
“Time is ticking.” She tapped the face of her Rolex before walking out.
I knew what she meant by that, the last thing we needed was another situation like Toi’s but this time the shit be real.
“Khaza, what are you talking about? I’m not about this life… what life?” she hopped out of the bed naked following close behind me into the closet. “You told me your family owns a slew of legal businesses.” She grabbed the back of my shirt trying to get me to stop and face her, but then she would know I partially lied about who my family was exactly.
“WE DO! Angel back up with the questions aight… Just chill here til I get back.” I stuffed some clothes into my Louis duffle bag. “If I have to stay longer in Atlanta while trying to buy this club I’ll send for you, cool?” I zipped my duffle bag up turning around and quickly kissing her lips. I could tell she wanted to object and ask more questions but the look on my face told her not to open her mouth again. I dug into my wallet and grabbed my black card dropping it on the dresser. “Relax yourself and tour the city baby, I’ll be back before you know it.”

We stood outside of Khadi’s estate as the tow truck pulled up with Brooklyn’s Porsche on the back of it. Biggs and Terrance pulled in right behind it, rushing out of one of Khadi’s cars running toward Khali and I.
The tow truck driver lowered the car down to the ground and I immediately noticed blood splattered on the window. “What the fuck? Is that blood?” I asked walking toward the car.
“It’s Rebel.” Terrance answered right before I walked up on the car looking at the dead dog that laid across the front seat.
“Fuck!!!!” I hollered out in frustration.
“Still nothing from her cell phone?” Biggs asked with a look of concern on his face.
“Nah, her cell phone is either turned off at this point or its dead.” I sighed thinking I wouldn’t know how to tell this shit to Khadi. “Okay, well, we go for what we know, Khadi will want answers and we will give him something.”
“Zo.” I called out to one of our fearless soldiers. “Hit the grounds fast and don’t let up until we have some solid info.” I barked as he jogged to his car to hit the streets. “Biggs, I’ll have you stay here with the fam while Terrance and I fly out to Atlanta and try and take care of Kassidy so my bros can come home.”
“We have a meeting with the distributors early in the morning, Khaza.” Khali spoke up, “You’re not scheduled for Atlanta til tomorrow afternoon.”
“Change of plans baby girl. You and Biggs hit the meeting and handle it.” I walked down the stairs and jumped into my Ferrari with Terrance in the passenger seat. Before I could pull off I looked in the bay window of the house and smiled at my mom smiling proudly back at me. I couldn’t fuck this up my family was depending on me and for my sake, I better hope Brooklyn’s alive somewhere because I didn’t want to be on the end of the wraith Khadi would bring if she wasn�
��t.
Chapter 21
Roselina
I stood in the window proud of my baby boy barking out orders to everyone. I remembered when that was once Khadi when he was coming into his own and rebuilding his father’s empire. Call me a bitch but I promised my husband I would raise our boys up to follow his footsteps and that’s exactly what I did. It wasn’t easy but the fruits of their labor showed that I did what I was supposed to do and now it was time for me to step down and finally let my boys be happy. See it wasn’t that I didn’t like Brooklyn, I actually thought she was a perfect fit for Khadi, she reminded me of myself. When I found out she was down in Miami working off a debt for a nigga that dogged her ass out, that was a sign of loyalty to me. To some that may sound crazy but anytime you don’t want a man anymore but still worked off his debt, it spoke volumes. I just didn’t expect all the ruckus that would come with her falling in love with my son.
I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer to Bondye asking for a safe return of my boys and Brooklyn.
“Gigi?” I opened my eyes and stared into the baby face of my grandson. We had only spent like a week together but we were joined at the hip and I enjoyed spoiling him.
“What’s wrong with Gigi ti bebe?” I hooked his chin making him look at me noticing the tears in his eyes.
“My mama says we have to leave.” He hugged me tightly around my leg not wanting to leave.
“Nonsense bebe, you can stay here as long as you’d like.”
“No, he can’t.” Toi emerged from the basement where she was healing with her purse on her shoulder. “If his mom is not welcomed here than he’s not either.”
I rubbed KJ’s back trying to soothe him as he whimpered holding on to me. “KJ, go and find Zeus, ok?” he nodded his head before running off in the opposite direction of his mom.
“What the hell is your problem, Toi? Why would you tell him that bullshit?” I asked her once KJ was out of earshot.
“What’s wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with y’all? Everybody’s all on Khadi’s wife pussy like y’all blind to the fact that I have Khadi’s child. Nobody knows the bullshit I endured just to keep me and KJ alive and yet everybody’s walking around like I purposely got kidnapped.”
“Nobody’s blind to the fact of anything. Ok, so you have Khadi’s son, whoop de do dummy. A baby don’t keep a man and if that’s what you came back here for, then it’s definitely for the wrong reasons and would never work.”
She rolled her eyes, “So you sucking on Brooklyn’s pussy too, huh?”
“Bitch.” Khali came out of nowhere trying to charge at Toi’s cripple ass.
“Khali, stop it, she’s not even worth it.”
Khali looked at me then back at Toi, “Let me make things clearer for you since it seems your ditzy ass is the one that’s blind. My brother tore this city up looking for you, day and night, sometimes not even eating. We had to deal with his tantrums constantly while you were out in St. Lucia sucking on another niggas dick. So, excuse us bitch if we not falling at your feet because you decided to come back to Miami when its convenient for you. Now my sister-in-law wanted you out so get the fuck out. We will bring KJ to you when he’s ready to see you but for now, you not even in your right state of mind to be mothering my nephew.” Khali turned and walked off and headed upstairs.
That was a proud moment for me, seeing Khali take up for me like that. It really gave me hope that my family was getting back together instead of against each other.

I had to put my old resources back to work as I help find Brooklyn, even if that meant reaching out to Felipe Ortiz himself.
“You have some nerves calling my damn phone, Roselina.” He answered on the first ring.
“Felipe, your daughter has really lost it this time. Just tell me where she is holding my daughter-in-law and I will end this all-out war. I would hate for you to lose your daughter, too much blood has been shed.”
“You touch one hair on my daughters head and I prom-…”
“You promise what? You know the rules, wives and kids are off limits and somehow someone in your family keeps breaking those rules. She has tried to off my son’s wife more than once and I will not have it anymore. Now tell me where she is and I will make sure she is not harmed but if she kills Brooklyn or harms any of my children, she will be taken out.”
He rattled off a few different places that she could have Brooklyn and confirmed that she was very much alive. Knowing that she was alive was music to my ears and I couldn’t wait to tell Khaza once he touches down back in Miami. We needed this taken care of before Khadi could get a whiff of this.
Chapter 22
Khaza
I put the rental in park and shut off the lights, leaving the engine running. We were two miles away from the location Ralo had given us on that bitch Kassidy. The feds made a mistake and let her go into town to a local hair shop and Ralo tracked them from there. It’s amazing how fast word spread around that she was out in the city.
We were two miles away from the location he’d given us. Khadi said all I had to do was throw a brick or two his way and he’d come through with the information we needed and boy was he right. I reached in the back seat and grabbed my drone with the remote control and started it up in the air, directing it toward the house that sat in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and tall grass reminding me of children of the corn.
“Gotcha now bitch.” I whispered to myself as the drone came in clear view of the house. I watched as the officer dressed in plain clothes stood outside on the porch smoking a cigarette. There was only one unmarked cop car parked in the driveway so there couldn’t be more than three to four officers inside but I needed to be positive about that. Taking a chance, I dropped the drone lower trying to get a better view of who was inside the house on the side window.
I could see another officer sitting on a couch watching a football game while chopping down on some pizza but there was no other movement inside the house. Pulling the drone into the sky, back toward me, I packed it back up sliding it back in the backseat and nudged Terrance sleepyhead ass.
“We gon’ have to walk the rest of the way.” I told him while I loaded my gun with the silencer on the end. Grabbing a black bookbag out of the trunk that held the tranquilizer gun and a needle filled with some deadly shit that would make Kassidy’s death look like it was from natural causes and placed it on my back. “There’s two officers there as far as I could see, Imma need you to distract them while I get inside and kill Kassidy.” I told him while clicking on the gps that would take us through the trees and lead us up to the house.
The sun was starting to set, so it wouldn’t be long before it got dark which was just what we needed to complete this mission. “All I need you to do is get the two pigs outside in an open view where I can shoot them with these.” I pulled the tranquilizer gun from out of my book bag.
“Damn nigga, what kinda shit you got going on?” Terrance asked chuckling.
“We don’t need to kill the pigs unless absolutely necessary. These will knock them out for a couple of hours.” I had him an extra loaded gun as we came in full view of the house.
The house sat up high so the plan was for me to hide under the porch until both officers were out in the open and strike them both at the same time. We waited about another twenty minutes making sure it was completely dark before I made a move. I tried walking as lite as I could as the leaves crunched on the dry ground beneath my boots and slid underneath the porch. Signaling Terrance to throw something toward the front door I got back in position and waited. Before he could throw anything, my damn phone started ringing loud as fuck echoing throughout the damn woods.
“Fuck!” I fumbled with everything in my hand quickly silencing Khadi’s phone call.
The front door to the house opened and I could see the bottom of his boots through the cracks fro under the porch where I was laying down. He had his gun drawn at nothing in particular as he told his partner to
secure the back of the house.
“Dammit.” I mumbled. Now Imma have to chance taking them down one by one instead of together. I took a deep breath and slid from the other side of the porch from the side where his back was facing me. I aimed the tranquilizer gun toward the back of his neck and shot, watching his body fall down on the porch making a loud thud. I heard the leaves ruffling as his partner ran to the front of the house from the back yard. I held the tranquilizer in position waiting for him to pass me by. As soon as I had a good shot, I let off hitting him in the neck instantly dropping him to the ground. I slid my whole body from under the house as Terrance ran out of the woods and helped me up from under the house. Dusting myself off as we stepped up on the porch I pushed the door open with my gun drawn in case someone else was here and opened fire.
“Officer Brad!” I heard her holler from the hallway.
Bingo! I headed towards the hallway with my gun in one hand and the needle in the other. My eyes locked on her half burned body as I rounded the corner.
“Hellllllllllpppp!!!” she screamed trying to run back into the room and closed the door but I stopped it with my boot.
Terrance was right behind me and pushed the door open with one shove sending Kassidy flying straight to the ground.
“Nooooooo! I promise I won’t testify… please.” She held up her hands as she backed into the corner.
“Oh, I know you won’t testify.” Terrance held her against the wall while I pulled her pants down off her hip and stuck the needle in her thigh, watching her body go limp. “Carry her over to the bed and put her under the covers.” I told Terrance before walking out the room and checking the rest of the house. Once he was done with that, we dragged the two officers back inside the house and placed them on the sofa before walking two miles back out of the woods and driving the rental car back to the clear port. Now all I had to do was get home and find Brooklyn before Khadi’s court date tomorrow.
