Once I got to my apartments I locked the door and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself through the cracked mirror and sighed.

I undressed and got into the shower my usual slick backed hair falling in front of my face. I already knew tomorrow would be a long day especially with Darnell and Nene blowing up my phone with messages.

There had been signs Cassandra was still around, news had been spread of several drive byes in our area and they wanted to figure it out.

I finished my shower and dried my hair before wrapping a towel around my waist. I walked to my cramped up bedroom and began changing into boxers and a white tank top.

My phone buzzed loudly and a familiar ping came from it. Keith was texting me.

She was asking about where you work.

I sighed and immediately knew who he was talking about. The girl I had met only three days ago was asking about me.

'Did you tell her?' I asked, I didn't necessarily want her to know but..if anything was going to happen between the two of us she'd find out eventually.

I mean hell..she already knew about the school shooting.

Nah Cherry started teasing her and we eventually got around the question. Js thought u shuld know.

I was relived at the fact she hadn't gotten told by someone that wasn't me. I responded with a thumbs up before putting my phone on the charger.

I hopped in bed and covered myself up and went to sleep.

A couple hours later I woke myself up. I checked the time and saw it was 4..in the morning. I sighed and stretched getting into my usual outfit.

I grabbed my Uzi putting it in my holster. I left the apartment locking the door behind me before I started walking.

I was just a bit past the train station when I saw Nene and Darnell. Darnell was lighting a stick on fire before trying to light Nenes dress on fire.

Anytime he would get relatively close nene would slash at his hand with her pink switchblade.

I announced my arrival and was met with a burning stick and knife. I immediately backed up with both hands up defensively. "Chill, it's me." I said and they both calmed down.

"Took you long enough! I was about to kill somebody." Nene said putting her hands on hips with a pout.

Darnell rolled his eyes before throwing the burning stick to my foot which I stomped out. "The somebody was me." He said and crossed his arms.

"My bad, I was hanging out with Keith and them." I said shifting my weight to one foot. "Them?" Darnell asked.

"Yeah! He's been hanging out with him, Cherry and Niko, super popular Hollywood sta—" Nene proceeded before she got cut off.

"Hollywood star, just finished a movie, been in over thirty different movies, started acting before she was one, a goddess-" Darnell said already knowing about her. I cut him off at the last part. "Goddess?"

"Huh? Oh..yeah she's the goddess of mercy, her father was the god of redemption before he was killed." Darnell told me and I hummed.

"She hides but the media found out when her dad passed, images were released of her freaking out. She was next to him when he was shot." Nene added with a hint of sympathy in her voice.

My eyes widened, there was so much I didn't know about her. I didn't expect her to be such a complicated person. "How old was she?" I questioned before realizing I probably shouldn't be asking someone who wasn't Niko.

"I think maybe 12? 13?" Darnell answered shrugging. "Anyway enough talk about a hot celebrity." He finished and I shot him a dirty look.

Nene giggled. "Someone's getting defensive~!" She teased and I rolled my eyes.

"Can we please move onto this drive by situation?" I questioned not wanting to be teased. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Nene said as we all started walking down the street.

"So, we think it's Cassandra." I said and the two nonchalantly nodded. After a bit more of walking a sudden shooting sound blared at us. Darnell jumped behind a house and we followed. I pushed them out of the way and pulled my Uzi out.

"Fuck.." I mumbled to myself before a bullet flew past us. I took my body out from behind the wall and started shooting at the car.

Obviously they weren't expecting anyone to shoot back and started swerving till they crashed into a house.

A baby started crying and as instinct I ran over to the house jumping over the car that was absolutely fucked up.

The baby was sitting on the porch. I put my gun away and grabbed the baby before breaking the door open.

Who I assumed to be the mom was in a state of shock as I walked over to her putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Ma'am are you alright?" I asked and she broke down and started sobbing. I patted her shoulder. "Calm down, calm down.." I comforted before the baby started crying more.

"Mama! Mama!!" The baby yelled, the mother's instincts kicked in and she took the baby from my hands and held onto her tightly.

In the distance loud sirens were blaring and I lead the mother and her kid out of the house.

Darnell and Nene had the driver and passenger pinned down on the ground. I examined the two before rubbing my eyes. Neither one was Cassandra.

When the police and ambulance pulled up I brought the woman and baby to the paramedics. They checked up on both them. The kid had a broken arm and they were both rushed to the hospital.

The two shooters were taken bye the police while me Nene and Darnell sat back. A few news reporters surrounded us but I avoided them as much as I could.

The camera panned to me a couple times so I avoided them as best I could. My phone started blaring so I took it from my pocket.

Niko was calling.

My hand shook slightly as I answered.

"ARE YOU OKAY?!"

Her loud voice boomed through the speaker and I let out a shakey chuckle. "Yeah..yeah I'm alright." I responded and I heard a sigh of relief come from the blonde girl.

"What happened?! Was that baby okay?"

I smiled at her worry before the police tapped my shoulder. "We need you back at the station for questioning." They said and I nodded before going back to Niko.

"I'll talk to you soon, I gotta go through questioning." I told her.

"O-..okay, please call me back or meet me at my house."

"Alright, talk to you later." I said and we bid our goodbyes before I was patted again and told to get a move on.
