When It Works

In Control

"This where she being held?" Zac said as they parked on the outside of the building. He called Kareem who was still in the same spot. 

"Yo, I sent you a pic go inside and tell them you are here to see devon he's expecting you" 

"Aight bet"

Upstairs Devon is talking Fatima's ear off about the life they'll have when all this blows over. She hasn't touched the food he bought she doesn't trust him to say the least. 

"You haven't touched your food, what's wrong?" Devon asked

"I thought I wanted it but the smell turned my stomach" she lied

"Do you want something else? I can go get you something if you like" 

"No im fine, Devon I need some air being cramped in this tiny apartment with no fresh air is not good for me or the baby" she stated 

"Go step on the balcony to get some air, we can't leave yet"

"You must be crazy, so you can throw me off. I'll pass. Look Devon what do you really want from me?" Fatima aske now annoyed and running out of patience 

"What do I want? I want you? I want you to make love to me like you do him. I want us" He responded honestly 

Fatima was repulsed by his words but managed to contain her reaction. Instead she devised a plan. As she began to put her plan in motion Kareem entered the building lobby and greeted the security as Chris and Zac's men surrounded the building. The entire operation had subpar security no one ever noticed. Kareem spoke to the security "I'm here to see Devon he's expecting me" the guard made a call. About five minutes later a man exited the elevator and approached Kareem. "Hi, I'm Dru can I help you?" The guy spoke "Yes is Devon available he's expecting me, I'm here to pick up a package he needs delivered" Kareem said "he hasn't mentioned anything about a package I'll call him" dru said. "Ok, but before you do send him this" Kareem shows the man the picture of Mark with a bullet in his head. The man's eyes shot up at Kareem who already has his pistol at his side. "One wrong move and I rearrange every organ in your body. Make the fucking call" Dru picks up the phone and dials Devon. He doesn't get an answer. By this time all of Chris and Zac's men have entered the building. Dru counts over 20 men and the security reaches for his gun and walkie before he could pull anything Trae let a shot off. Zac and Troy look at him "I know I know ima hot head my bad, this finger got a mind of its own" trae said throwing his hand up and grabbing the security guards walkie. The older men laugh at Trae's tenaciousness. In a matter of seconds about 10 men come from different parts of the building. Knowing they are out numbered they ask what's the problem. Now speaking to Phillip the man that was standing guard outside Fatima's door. "What's this about Phil?" "Your brother is holding a woman correct. And I'd think wisely before I lie" Phillip said "he is what's she to you?" "She's my niece I need her now and unharmed" just then Chris came forward "she my daughter, remember me Brian? What'd you used to call me?" Brian thought he saw a ghost "The Grim Reaper" Brain said swallowing what sounded like his heart "that's riiigghtt, and what did you call Jeff" he asked getting closer and his eyes growing smaller and darker "The boogeyman" pointing at Zac "you see him, that's the boogeyman's seed and you're holding his wife upstairs. So if you'd like to live a some what normal life after this.... I suggest you go and get her" Turning to get on the elevator the is stopped "No take me up" Zac said handing Murdock his gun. 

Upstairs Fatima has had enough it's been about twenty eight maybe thirty hours and Zac hasn't arrived she's given him enough time. 

"You want me to make love to you?" Fatima asked seductively 

"Hell yeah" Devon answered licking his lips

Unsnapping her bra and being sure not to drop her watch she removed it exposing her breast sitting her bra and watch down she walked over to where he was and straddled him. She rubbed his face, Devon closed his eyes and leaned his head back. Just then Fatima got up and walked behind him Devon's eyes opened and Fatima hit him right in the back of the head with a porcelain ashtray she'd been eyeballing the time she had been there. She hit him once more to make sure he was out. She put her bra back on and after hearing Devon snore she grabbed her phone from the locked room using the keys and called Zac. Just as she was calling a Brian came through the door with his hands in the air and Zac appeared two seconds later. They stared at eachother like they did the day they bumped  into eachother at toast. Not so much as a hair in Fatima's head was out of place she was stunning. She couldn't help but be turned on he was there and in Zac fashion no weapon he's always ready to risk his own life to save hers. Walking towards eachother slowly they embrace and kiss. "Took you long enough Nigga" with minimal space between their lips "shut up and kiss me gorgeous" she does as she's told and Zac notices Devon on the floor knocked out. "Tima couldn't help yourself huh" "oh he ain't dead you can finish I just got tired of him talking to me" Zac and Fatima laugh. Brian thinks he can be slick and pull his gun but Zac was a few steps ahead. Pulling his second pistol from the front of his waistband he turned and shot Brian in the throat. Devon is still sleep through it all. Kneeling over him Zac slapped him until he realized the face he was staring at want Fatima.

"What the fuck, what? How you?-"

"Mm mm nigga shut up" Zac said 

"I just, I just wanted-" 

"Nigga shut up" Zac hit Devon in the mouth knocking his veneers out

"You just thought you'd have Fatima and continue to fuck wit me right?" Zac said bringing him to his feet

"Well you thought wrong motherfucker! A now yo daddy is resting right with mine" As Zac palmed Devon's face walking him backwards to the bric wall that adorn the apartments walls. Crushing his skull with his bare hands. Staring at Fatima who was shocked at his strength and resolve with what he had just done. 

"You ready gorgeous?" Zac asked wiping the little blood that was on his hand fron Devon's eye sockets. Unsure of what she just witness she she nodded a little concerned. Afraid,  not because zac had killed a man but the manner. It was one thing to shoot a man maybe even beat him but he had just killed omelets with one hand and very little force. Devon wasn't a weak man so this was new to her. Zac gabbed Fatima and kissed her 

"I'll do life before I ever let a bitch nigga think he can take yours"  he said to Fatima seriously.

They exited the apartment and got on the elevator. As it approached the lobby floor and opened they were met with a dozen dead men some of theirs, but all the main players remained standing. Chris hugged his baby girl and they left. Marks eldest son remained alive and unharmed, being well aware he'd come for them they all left smiling.
