Nasir's POV
Sitting at my desk, I couldn't get any work done. I just kept thinking about Mo and hoping she was ok.
"Mr. King, your mother is here" Madison called over the intercom and I told her to let her come in.
"Hunny how are you doing?" she asked as she entered, setting down her bag and coming around the side of the desk to pull me into a hug.
"I'm ok mom" I sighed.
"Have you heard anything?"
"No, Costa is still interrogating Amir, but he insists he doesn't know where she is" I told her pulling out my vibrating phone "It's Ryah".
"Hi, what's-"
"We know where she is!!" she shouted cutting me off.
"What?" I asked getting up as ma raised her brows in question and I placed the phone on speaker.
"Mo called and she told us where she is, so they have to leave before they find out she told us "She rushed out.
"Where's Costa?" I asked grabbing my keys.
"Here" a voice called from the door "Let's go King, the jet is waiting".
Nodding I turned to my ma, handing her the keys "I'll be back soon" I said kissing her on the forehead.
"Be safe Nasir, and please bring her back".
"I will ma" I told her waking out behind him.
Monae's POV
*Thud*
The sound of something hitting the ground caused me to open my eyes and I registered that I wasn't feeling any pain. Looking up I saw Giovanni lowering the gun and I glanced to Luca's body on the floor.
"I hate fvck ups" Giovanni rolled his eyes before focusing his attention on me "Get up" he ordered but I was still frozen in my spot. "Now Monae!!". That was all it took before I scrambled off the bed towards him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill him, he was trying to hurt me. I-" I stopped my ranting as he raised his hand to silence me.
"Save it, I know you called them. You don't think I wont have cameras in here?" he chuckled darkly, and I froze "We're leaving" he grabbed my arm pulling me forward, but I refused to move. My mind was racing, it would take too long for Gio to get here, I wont have another opportunity to contact them.
"I'm not leaving, you're going to have to kill me" I told looking him straight in the eye, and I refused to show him fear when he raised the gun "And you'll never find your son".
"Don't tempt me cagna (b!tch)" he growled.
"We leave now" Nicholas called from the door distracting him and I took that as the opportunity I need. Rushing to him, I snatched the gun out of his hands and aimed it at the both of them causing Nicholas to pull out his gun also while Giovanni sneered at me.
"Don't be stupid Monae, what are you going to do? Kill me?" he chuckled.
"Yes" I answered putting distance between us.
"And walk out of here alive?" he rolled his eyes stepping forward.
"Don't move!!" I ordered placing my finger on the trigger causing him to stop in his tracks.
"Enough of this shit!! Give me the fvcking gun, now!!" he shouted rushing at me, and next few seconds became a blur. Two loud bangs went off causing me to drop the gun.
