"Just got back here. I am heading towards the elevators. Is everything good at the IMBB?" I asked Izzy as I walked down the cold frigid hallway of the West Hollywood Private Hospital. I have been here for the last week daily and my grandpa, James Colby, has not left WeHo. My mom is in a coma and has shown no brain activity since we got here after that horrific soft opening of the beauty bar. Feeling her body go weak in my arms still gives me the chills and I wake up in the middle of the night screaming. We dont know what happened...when I called to Miami my grandpa gave me strict instructions because he doesnt know if someone did this to her and when you have lived the life we all have...you dont take things at face value.

"The beauty bar is fine. And you did amazing with the hiring the assistant manager has been on top of things and the customers are enjoying it. You need to be focused on your mother and your boss office will be waiting for you whenever. I was calling to say the vlog interview with KT posted this morning on Youtube. Its got over 56 thousand views already. She must have had a following and you are a natural. Keep me updated Gino and I are heading back to Oakland tonight. I have a doctors appointment in the morning. Again, keep me updated. Have you spoken to your father?"

"You and I both know I only been getting check in calls. He thinks something was done to her. He and my grandpa never have seen eye to eye but they are on the same page and hence why he has her here to be checked by the best of the best doctors. I love you and thanks so much Ill watch the video later...maybe it will keep my head from spinning." I told Izzy before hanging up and pressing the elevator button. I went up to the third floor and to the private room at the far left end of the hallway.

I walked in and saw my grandpa speaking with Doctor Manning. He licked his lips and stated, "What do you mean you found traces of Lead?"

"You told me run every test imaginable and nothing was hitting. Lead is such an odd thing but I reviewed your daughters lab report and some levels was high consistent with lead poison and if you ingest it at a high dosage it can cause the brain damage and result in the coma." Doctor Manning told him as he took a deep breath and water filled in my eyes. This cannot be happening how the fuck did she ingest lead--which means my grandpa and father are correct someone at the soft opening took an attack on my family.

Doctor Manning exited the room as he walked over towards me and hugged me. He rubbed my head and exhaled, "Its okay baby girl."

"No its not! Your fucking life have resulted in my mom being put in a coma and she is basically brain dead. She wont even be able to meet her first grandchild because of this...who would do this?" I spazzed at him as he replied, "I get you upset but I aint ya' punk ass daddy! You will respect me and not curse at me. Now I need a guest list of that party"

"Im sorry. And I can email it to you...but grandpa no one knew she was coming. She surprised me." I cried out as he grabbed a hold of my hand and replied, "which means someone followed her from Miami...no enemy of the Colby's is bold enough for a move like this. We dont even dabble in beefs any more. We are cemented in Miami. And I havent been to California only"

"3 times since I been here. My first birrhday, my tenth birthday, and then that wedding of your friends that I went with you to. That was shot up!"

"Deuce and Kareem. I may need to hit up Deuce he has more connections here--but maybe its your dad?" He probed as I snapped, "NO ONE IS IN OAKLAND! Like its no enemies"

"Its always an enemy"

"But to go after my mom? Lets be clear they never truly was in love with each other. They care about each other due to me. Tried for me and that went south quick."
