"My name is Nevaeh Nicole Johnson," I say staring directly into the camera. "And this is my story."

Phase 1: My testimony.

"Two years ago, I was engaged to a man I thought was supposed to be my forever partner, but he instead turned out to be my attempted murderer. On the night of our engagement, he, Stormi Malik Black, shot me five times and left me to die. No justice has EVER been served for my pain and suffering. His friend, Quantavious Jamal Thompson, killed my entire family by burning them alive." I say while maintaining a straight face trying to conceal my emotions.

"Although justice has not been served lawfully, it has been served unlawfully, and today you will get to witness justice being served right from your seats," I say emotionlessly.

"Ight, we good Vaeh!" Augustine says as he hits the pause button on his camera. "You got anything else you wanna say?"

"No, that's it," I say. "ight... well, everyone else is waiting in the kitchen. Let me finish up getting this recording saved and I'll meet you there," Augustine says, as I head towards the kitchen.

"Wassup baby girl?" a smiling Ezekiel says as I enter the kitchen. "How did the recording go?"

"It went fine... I guess all of this is starting to feel so surreal... like we are actually about to go through with our plan."I say, a little unsure how to feel.

"You having any second thoughts ma?" Ezekiel questions trying to read my body language.

"No, but-" Is all I can manage to say before Augustine walks into the kitchen.

"Let's all take a seat at the table," Augustine states, as he walks past us and towards the table to take a seat.

"Alright," Harmony says, as we all walk towards the table and take a seat.

"Ah shit, the team is back together," Ezekiel says as he looks around the table at all of us.

"Which is good, because we have plans to discuss... so we gone have to skip the small talk for now and get straight to business," Augustine says seriously.

"Let's discuss our plan. Our final plan involves hijacking Stormi's ma's wedding. Everyone will have a critical part to play in this process," Augustine states.

"Nevaeh, your job is done. We will play your statement during the wedding ceremony," Augustine says informativly.

"Harmony, your job is to make sure we know the exact times and locations of all the events, especially for the bachelor party because that is when Ezekiel and I plan to kidnap both Stormi and Quantavious," Augustine says.

"I will spare you two by excluding the gruesome details, but me and Ezekiel's job involves kidnapping, inflicting pain, recording it, and making sure both Nevaeh's statement and our "recording" of the "kidnapping," are shown during the wedding," Augustine says.

"After the wedding, we will all be catching the first flight out of South Padre. Any questions?" Augustine asks while looking over at all of us.

It honestly sounded easy enough, what could possibly go wrong?" Is a horrifying thought that floated around in the back of my mind.

"Since nobody has any questions, I guess it's time to start packing and preparing. South Parde, here we come!" Augustine says enthusiastically.
