When It Works

Just Like The Yard

Just two blocks from the the warehouse Zac spots Demetrius's car. Driving by it slowly they see Stasha who appears to be unconscious. Troy hops out the car while it still is in motion. "Zac call Tima and Mariah she shot" Troy said applying pressure to her wound. He remembers how to create a makeshift tourniquet, he removes his belt and ties it just above the gunshot. Stasha is beginning to regain som consciousness. Fatima and Mariah are already otw. Troy is covered in stashas blood he's crying she's become a big sister and he couldn't stomach the fact that she could die right now. A mixture of blood and tears stained his face. Zac can see the warehouse lights come on from where they are. Only a handful of people had the key and knew where the breaker box was to turn on the lights, so he knew it had to be Demetrius. A sense of comfort came over him. He talked to Troy and Stasha in attempt to keep them both calm, while Troy still tried to stop the bleeding. "Zac.....take...take care of Demetrius and the kids. Y'all. All...They got!" Stasha spoke between coughs and faint breaths. "You gon be alright. You take care of them. Look look look look.... Here yo sisters, you gon be ok" Zac said praying his words were true she was losing a lot of blood. Fatima and Mariah get out. Troy gets out the way by the way he's covered in blood they know it isn't good. "Put her in the back, Tima drive. Baby you ok?" Mariah asked Troy. He says nothing he just nods his head and walks toward the warehouse gun in hand. "Zac take care of him" "I got him it's whoever's in that warehouse that has the problem" Zac and Fatima spoke with their eyes until Zac spoke. "I know. In one piece" Fatima gave a faint smile and blew him a kiss before pulling off. 

In the backseat Mariah is working on Stasha and impressed by the work Troy did. "Tima speed up her pressure dropping. Stasha stay with me sis them babies need you" Fatima didn't speak she just speeds the car up. Stasha is able to open her eyes slightly and squeeze Mariah's hand "that's good keep fighting, we're right here" Stasha nods slowly just as they pull into the ER. Fatima hops out and the nurses run out with a gurney they get Stasha on the bed. The trauma nurse ask Mariah is she ok. "What do we got?" Nurse ask wheeling Stasha to the back "35 year old female gunshot wound to the upper thigh, it looks like it may have hit her femoral artery. She lost a lot of blood help her that's my sister" Mariah said with tears running down her face. She and Fatima walk hand in hand and head back to Mariah's locker so she can throw on some sweats she has to change. Once she has changed they sit and wait. Fatima is shaking. She is now at her breaking point. Starting to realize why Zac was so reckless killing Devon's brother. Just off of pure frustration they're causing unnecessary harm to people over absolutely nothing. A simple obsession has turned into a full out war. She decides she going to call Devon as soon as she knows that Stasha is ok. For the first time Fatima has sisters and losing one would mean a pain she wasn't ready to bare. She calls Andi to meet them there just in case she or Mariah needs representation. Andi and Murdock head out. Murdock heads to the warehouse where Demetrius is reliving his prison days. 

"Meech, what you wanna do with them" Zac asked not really caring

"I haven't decided yet" he said tying one upside down and the other by the hands 

"How the fuck did you get both of them in here the car is a block up and a half over? Zac asked curious 

"I drug the fat one and put that one over my shoulder Nigga. Knowing Stasha was hit I lost it." 

"Nigga you one strong bastard" chuckling 

"Where Troy at" 

"He cooling down they'd be dead by now, he didn't take seeing stash hurt to well"

In walks Troy and Demetrius just knows by the amount of blood she didn't make it, enraged Demetrius kicks the one hanging upside down in the face about twenty times before Zac finally stopped him. He then began to punch the other in the ribs causing him to scream. Murdock walks in right behind Troy and recognizes the two men immediately. He pulls Zac to the side and fills him in. This is good news to Zac, they can be useful.
