A few Hours Earlier
TROYI paced the floor as my mind worked on trying to think of anything to help my sister. Coming back from their hideout conjured up horrible emotions I didn't think I'd feel. The feeling of fear.
Yes, I feared for my sister and my niece.
The hideout she was staying in was in ruins. Bodies everywhere and blood. The bullet holes that scattered all over the wall were a clear sign of deadly shootouts. Glass shattered and the sign of blood in the same room that Tiana was claimed to be in made my anxiety tighten.
"Fuck." I heard Carter curse, his eyes on a body.
He's on his haunches, examining the still body of a woman. My eyes narrowed, staring closely at the body. The woman had a bullet in her eyes. She looked familiar but I didn't know her. I watched silently as he took his hand over her eyes to close them shut.
"Boss-" Rick begins beside me but is cut off with Carter running a hand through his hair, frustratedly.
He curses angrily walking off away. He was losing it and the look on his face told just about everyone that was standing near him that he was about to pop.
I knew he was worried but sitting around being angry won't get us anywhere.
Thinking hard while looking around, I tried to pinpoint anything that could get us some type of lead on my sister. There was nothing until I thought about what she always had.
"Her ring," I muttered.
The feeling of everyone's eyes on me before Rick spoke up.
"What did you say?"
I looked to Carter, ignoring all the eyes that were burning holes in my face. His narrowed eyes avert to me and I look down at his left hand, the silver band with my sister's initials.
"The rings."
I know the obsession Carter has with my sister runs deep and he had to have given her something to track. It made sense that it would be her promise ring. Looking down, Carter's jaw tightened before he pulls out his phone and dialed a number.
Speaking foreignly on the other line, he motions for Rick and I before we head back to the cars.
"Do you know where she is?" I question, getting in the passenger seat while he got in the driver's seat.
"No," He exhales sharply before turning to look at Ace that stayed in the car with a gun to his head. "Give me the location."
Ace swallows hard before muttering words back foreign and it pisses me off.
"What did he say?" I snap my eyes to Carter who gives me a look that is a warning.
But I didn't care. This was my niece and my sister we're looking for and I will be damn if something happened to them just because of some withheld information.
"This is my niece and sister-"
"I fucking know that. You think I let anything happen to my daughter or Tiana on purpose?" He questions and I glare. "Sit back and wait."
Present
ACE"This is stupid. Just let me go in there. I can help." I muttered to Rick who wasn't taking his eyes off me as ordered.
Rick scoffs. "Don't you think you've done enough? Hell, you're lucky to still be breathing."
I didn't blame them for not trusting me. I was guilty as the rest of them and I fucked up with Camille. I was sure as dead to Carter.
