Down To Ride

12. Make it Home

Spencer James

"Damn it!" Spencer sighed in frustration. "Pops ain't answerin' the phone!" he said as the crew were currently on the road, heading back to Los Angeles.

"Jordan I need you to slow down!" Simone told him as she clutched onto the car handle. "You're going way too fast!" she exclaimed.

"I'm just tryna get back home quickly as possible!" Jordan snapped at her. "This is an emergency!" he told her.

"Babe you're trying to make a three hour drive home stretch in forty minutes! That's not going to happen! You also need to consider that YOUR sister is fucking pregnant!" she yelled at him.

"Slow it down, J! Trust my blood is boilin' right now but we need to get back home safely!" Spencer voiced. "You aight, Liv?" he glanced at his wife.

"No" she said as tears stained her cheeks. "I just want to get to the kids!" she wiped her cheeks.

"I know baby" Spencer reached for her hand, squeezing it. Spencer's phone suddenly rang and the breath that he held had let go. He was hoping this was his father to call him back but instead it was Damian. "Yo D! Now's not a good time-"

"I heard what happened! Y'all good?!" Damian inquired.

"I don't know what's goin' on man! I'm three hours away and my Pops ain't even answerin' the damn phone!" Spencer said in frustration. "Since I ain't there I need you to find out what the fuck is goin' on and report back to me asap!" he told him.

"I got you bro!" Damian told him. 

"I just need to make sure my kids and Pops straight!" Spencer told him. "And I need to find out who did this shit! Cause best believe them niggas will be dead before I touch the city! On hood, you can bet that!" he said with rage, hanging up the phone.

The car was soon quiet after listening to Spencer's conversation with Damian.

"...Spencer-"

"Look I just...I need everybody quiet right now. Before I say some fucked up shit that I can't take back" Spencer said as he rested his head against the seat. He then closed his eyes and silently prayed that his family would be okay.

"Oh shit!" Jordan's eyes widened as he glanced in the rearview mirror. "We got a situation" he referred to the police car behind him. 

"Just pull over" Simone told him and Jordan did as told. "Y'all know the procedure" she glanced at Spelivia and they nodded their heads.

"He's coming!" Jordan said as he rolled his window down and placed his hands in a visible position. "What the fuck am I going to tell him?" he asked his peers.

"I'm pregnant! Just use that as an excuse!" Olivia told him and Spencer clenched his jaw. She could tell he didn't agree with it but there was no other reason she felt her brother could use.

"Hi officer..." Jordan's voice slightly trembled.

"Is there a reason you're driving 30 miles per hour above the speed limit?" the officer questioned him and Jordan glanced at his sister in the rearview mirror.

"My sister back there is pregnant and we're having a medical emergency" Jordan stated, pointing at Olivia. 

"I understand that" the officer began. "But you're a danger to the public and-"

"Ahh!" Olivia yelled out, startling the officer. "We really have to go!" she cried out.

"This is a warning...the next officer might not be so nice" the officer began. "The hospital's awhile to go. You guys want to follow me" he glanced at Olivia and then back at Jordan.
