"ADRIEL! OH MY GOD, XERXES! XERXES!" Riley yelled into the phone. Xerxes told her he would call her back but forgot to hang up the phone. She listened while he ran through the house, waking everyone or forcing them out of the house. Then it was the explosion and screaming. Then the line went dead.

Riley couldn't see or think straight as she made her way through the house downstairs with the rest. Xerxes ordered all of them to stay at the main house, thinking they would be safer there.

"MAMA! MAMA!" Riley cried as she fell to her knees at the crying and holding her chest. Luca was the first to come around the corner, followed by Rodney, Kellan, and Victor.

"Riley, what the hell?"

"Adriel... Oh my god Adriel...."

"What about Xerxes?"

"T-there w-was a b-bomb at o-our house... I-it went off I...I...I... d-don't t-think t-they m...ma..made i-it o-out." She cried. Luca stared at Rodney for a moment before pulling his phone calling Xerxes's number. No answer. Rodney did the same with RJ and so on with Darius, and the rest no answer from any of them.

"MUTHAFUCKA!" Rodney yelled, throwing his phone missing Adele and Paris as they finally made it up the stairs.

"What the hell is going on? Why is my baby on the floor?" Paris asked, walking up seeing Riley crying as she looked at all the men looking baffled. Luca was red in the face looking like he was about to cry or kill everyone standing in the room. As Rodney was destroying the hallway, the other men just stood there confused.

"RODNEY! STOP!" Luca yelled as he turned, hitting the wall a few times yelling. "SHIT... SHIT... SHIT! VICTOR CALL AND GET THE FUCKING JET READY WE ARE LEAVING FOR DC NOW! AXEL! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!"

"LUCA, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Adele yelled.

"XERXES! HE CAN'T BE! He can be Ma Dele."

"Can't be what, Riley?" Paris asked.

"I-it... it... it was bombed," Riley said, struggling to breathe and holding her stomach. Adele quickly bent down, looking her over as she stared up at Luca, who was on the phone with somebody telling them to get their asses to the address, and the rest was still pacing.

"Lu, call that bastard that helped create me. He has man every fucking where. It's going to take you thirteen hours to get to DC. It will only take him about an hour. If he wants to help, this will be the way." Darius said, making Luca nod dialing the number.

"Killa."

"Luca Kohler, what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I just sent you an address. I need you and your fucking men to get there now. My crew and I are on the way...."

"Luca, may I ask what's going on?"

"My son, your grandsons, and granddaughter are in DC, and someone blew up the house they were staying in...."

"Say no more we are on our way," Killa said, hanging up the phone letting Luca breathe a little until he looked at his wife, daughter-in-law, Paris, and India.

"Luca, if that bitch killed my son...."

"I know Liebe... I know. All of you, let's go!"

Xerxes rolled over as he sat up slowly. His ears were ringing, and his vision was a little blurry, but it was only one thing on his mind his family. After that, everything was in ashes and rubble with sirens blaring in the background as he heard one of the others cry for help.
