"How is she?" I lift my head at the sound of her voice. Her and the other are done with interrogating that guy I'm guessing. Bey has been gone for a couple of hours, she said she was coming right back when they were done. Her outfit is different. She's wearing a cropped tank and some sweat pants. Judging by the red tint on her ends I'd say things got a little messy. "Did she wake up?"

"She asked for you then fell asleep shortly after." She kissed the top of my head then made her way to do the same with Bailey. I can see we both had a long day, the bags underneath her eyes resembles mine. "Any good news?"

"We may have a possible location on Tavi, I have Snoop and Kelly sitting on the place. Doctors said anything?"

"She'll need to wear a sling for a bit, a headache, and suggested counseling to deal with the "mugging"."

"Cops came around yet?"

"Yes, I told them we're not looking to press charges or anything. One of them left me a card to call if I change my mind."Cops came sniffing around not to long after the others left. They questioned me and Lauren until they got tired of our lying. We went with the "we're tourists" scheme and they ate it all up. Cops bought every minute of what we were selling, they left when they felt they had everything they needed.

I'm ready to take our kids home. This state is too open, this hospital is too open. With no security or people I trust, anyone can pop in on us. I'm just ready for this to be over. "We have a possible location on Tavi. With that being said we're holding off on getting her until Tony comes with more men. Which leads to something we need to discuss." Tony? Why does he is he involved now? I thought the goal here was to get the kids and leave. Judging by that look on her face, there's so much more going on here.

I trust Beyoncé has the safety of the children in whatever scheme she's conjuring up in that beautiful mind of hers. I trust whatever it is all of us walk away from this place unharmed and alive.

As of now I have no fight inside me. I'm both physically and mentally drained. I have no energy to fight. I haven't slept since I learned the kids were missing and I don't plan on getting any until we leave here. So whatever scheme Beyoncé is conjuring up, I have to follow along with it. "As long as we get the kids out of here, I don't care how you want to go about it."

"Your saying it now, come later you will. Let's talk about it for a bit Nic."

"Fine...what is this scheme of yours Giselle. Lay it on me."

"We're going to war." Scratch that, I'm fully awake.

I pinch the bridge of my nose to refrain myself from lashing out. Counting down from twenty and doing some breathing techniques could definitely help too. Because I know good and well Beyoncé Giselle Knowles did not just open her mouth and say "we're going to war". I know she didn't.

Because we both know she's off her game.

We both know she's still taking pills and working on improving her physical health. We both know this dumbass is still in physical therapy so I know she did not just say we're going war. Because if she did, I'm about to cave her chest in. "Before you get upset, these people, Octavia's parents, I had a run in with them before. If we get Octavia there's no doubt they will fight back."
