Poison Oak

ALIYAH

Taking her own son out was never apart of the plan. He had become a monster and soon she wouldn't be able to control him. All those poor girls Damien had murdered to protect Ishmael was starting to hunt her in her dreams. Aliyah knew everything that went on under her empire, EVERYTHING. The boys may think she is becoming old and senile but the truth is she is becoming stronger and wiser. Next year she would be sixty years old which would make fifty years since she has been in the drug, weapons, and human trafficking trade.

Her sons knew only of the drugs and weapons, of course, but if Ishmeal was anything like his father and he was, he would soon find a way into the third most dangerous trade. However, Aliyah hadn't planned on ever letting that happen. It was bad enough she had gotten in bed with the devil but she would never let her sons go that far or become the devil himself.

After her sons left the house, she got in her car and followed the GPS tracker on the Truck Ishmael was driving. Ishmael dropped Damien off at home and kept going. He arrived at Saint Marys Hospital. He was in the Hospital for about twenty minutes before he came back out and waited. After a Blue Hyundai pulled out of the parking garage, Ishmael followed and so did Aliyah.

She couldn't make out who was in the car in front him, so she decided to go her separate ways and check the GPS tracker later. A couple hours later she checked the gps tracker and noticed the car had come to a halt about two hours away at a motel in the middle of nowhere. She had no idea what Ishmael was doing, all of her intel said that he should be in one of two places and this wasn't either of those. She decided to call Damien and see if he knew where his brother was.

Hello son, hala?

Im fine Mom, how are you?

Im a little worried about you and your brother to be honest.

Please don't worry we will handle our issues, its nothing.

I know, I know, I just really worry about Ishmael sometimes, he really needs to get in control of his anger. Where is he now?

Im not sure, I believe he had to handle some thing with a friend of his.

Oh I see, a new girlfriend?

No nothing like that, just a friend who happens to be a girl.

Well I sure hope he's being careful, one small leak can crack the whole foundation. I can do some research on this girl if you tell me her name.

No, mom. I thought we talked about this, we can handle our own affairs. Trust us, no one will break this empire.

Ok, well I will leave you be, have a good night.

Love you, night.

Aliyah hung up the phone and went upstairs into her room.  She decided to run a nice hot bubble bath and soak while she contemplated the worries that consumers her.

After about 30 minutes, once she couldn't take the heat no more, she oiled her face and body up and slipped into her best silk pajamas. As she passed her bed, she grabbed her reading glasses before heading into her master walk-in closet. Behind a set of colorful outfits was a biometric smart lock. She looked into it and stepped back. Before her opens a double door hidden in her wall. It revealed a room about as large as her closet. In it were computers, weaponry and lockers hiding things that only Aaliyah knew was there.

She got to work in her computer and Ishmael appeared on her screen. There was a girl there with short black curly hair and a nice build. She was turning to go upstairs when Aaliyah switched the camera on but she got a good look at her face as she pressed some buttons and her screen zoomed in her on her for a facial analysis. Hundreds of different screens appeared before landing in one.

And there she was. There was Katya Heering's face.
