A new dawn (Fragility 2)

44. At the end of the line

Samira was in tears as Mason arrived at the main house, so many people were now there trying to comfort her and be there for the family. People were out looking, searches were continuing through the night into the next day.
A few people nodded and greeted Mason into the house. Samira looked at him and then looked away, being comforted by her cousins and friends.

"We'll find her man..." one of Samira's cousins said to Mason. "do you know I didn't have a clue that things were so bad here now between you and Sammi, and the kids... No one has seen Zain?... I always told you that I was available for a chat, a shoulder... If things were getting too much..."

"I don't need a fucking psychologist, that is what the fuck you do, I never once asked for yo fuckin' professional help either... I am more than capable of taking care of my own shit Marco..." he said in no uncertain terms.

"We're a family.. we're just trying to help....

Mason squared up to the man. "I... do not need yo help... there is nothing in this situation that you could do to help me, talking is not gonna help anyone... action is what will get me my daughter back... and I am sick of y'all stickin' yo noses in... all of you only ever fuckin' come out of the woodwork when you either want something or there is some drama for y'all to gossip about...

"Mason, stop it!." Samira snapped. "Can't you see that everybody here is just trying to help... our 11-year-old daughter is missing, our 16 year old son is missing... this is my family, and if you cannot be bothered to care what even happens to your own daughter or son, then I need the backup of them.."
She said in front of everybody which made everyone in the room stop and stare at him. "Because go on, why don't you tell everyone here what you've been doing while our kids lives are falling apart.."
She continued getting louder now that she knew she had an audience.
"No?... not going to speak up, I'll tell them then... Mason here left me, because he's fucking a stripper, a stripper that he's now gotten pregnant... So our kids together mean absolutely nothing to him now because he's got a whole new life with a whole new ho.."

Mason clapped his hands slowly and stared at Samira with a smirk on his face. "Wow, what a fuckin' speech... Why don't you tell yo family what you were doing when I was locked up for something that I didn't do? Why don't you tell them how you were fucking our sons football coach?.... that's right, instead of supporting me and being there for her husband, she was riding our sons football coach's dick...."

The entire room was silent, mouth wide open eyebrows raised and everyone just didn't know what to say or do. Samira looked at Mason with a stare that could kill.

He had just shown her up in front of her own blood, she was already at her lowest over everything that was happening and he had just made her feel even smaller . "You need to get the fuck out... I don't ever wanna see you again, you're a motherfucker for what you just did knowing exactly what I'm going through, our daughter is missing, our son is missing... But all you can do is try to show me up in front of my family.... all I've done is tell the truth about what you've been doing, the state our family is in, is down to you!.." she snapped. " You are not welcome here ever again... and let me find out that my son and my daughter are missing because of anything that you've got your filthy self involved in, I will bring you down!." She added with gritted teeth.

Mason looked around the room at everyone. He then looked back at her. "I would love to see what you think you could do... And I'm out of here, I didn't want to see you again anyway so that's good for me..."
He walked out of the house slamming the front door behind him so much that a glass panel in it broke and shattered onto the floor. He got into his car and he wheel screeched away from the house, ducking and diving through traffic weaving in and out, horns beeping at him on his way to Talia's place.

Talia sighed. " so how long ago exactly was it that you last saw Nola?"

"About a month ago, she started to get suspicious about the money moving, the activity behind it... And I knew it wouldn't take long for her to start suspecting me, and to maybe look into what I have been doing with my own accounts. She has access to everything..."

"are you crazy?... What the fuck am I saying? You are fucking crazy... Why the hell does she have access to everything that you have? That's your own personal information?"

"because she said she wanted to be transparent, which meant that I had to give her access to everything that was mine after all she was paying for everything....

Talia closed her eyes and shook her head wishing this nightmare was over. "I don't know how you think I'm gonna be able to help you, I am pregnant, I cannot get involved in anything this deep with somebody who wouldn't hesitate to slice my fucking throat if I so much as stand in her way when she wants to get to you ... You need to speak to your new daddy, who has his fingers in many pies and maybe he can help you..."

"Talia please.... you are the only person I trust, you are the only person that I know that can help me... I got myself in too deep, she will kill me...."'

Talia looked to the door as it opened and Mason stormed in. She got up. "You can get out!.."

He just looked at her. "What?.."

"So you think talking to me the way you did in the car was just gonna be swept under the rug?... no way... get out and give me the key... you can't just walk in here when you feel like it!.." she held her hand out for the key.

He was already in a terrible mood. "What the fuck is wrong with you!." He snapped at her.

"Your attitude... I mean it Mason get the fuck out!.." she said ushering him out of the door. As soon as he was out she locked the door and dead bolted it.

"Is it wise to do something like that to a man like him?." Her brother said.

She shrugged. "Until he learns to talk to me better... I don't care!.."

————

Mason needed some time to just get his head together. With his baby girl missing he was feeling this now, Talia shoving him out also got to him as he couldn't even remember the conversation they had had in the car. Also Samira who really brought it to him in front of her family.

He sat in his car near to the beach. He looked out of the window just thinking. It was then that he saw that he had a call coming in from Conrad. "Sup man.. I need some good news..."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have any good news to give you... we've been keeping an eye on Theo as you asked, and it seems that he spent the entire night at Talia's place, he left there early this morning..."

"All night?..."

" They didn't even leave the house to go out for dinner, they stayed in the entire evening and the rest of the night...."

"Fuck!... fuckin' bitch!.." he snapped......
