It is a race against time to find Chloe alive.

Charisma was quiet on the journey back. The chief had been collected from the laundry room while he was still unconscious by another of Keegan's men. He was driven with Nash and Angel back to the hold. Keegan looked at Charisma just trying to gage her. "C... you wanna talk about it?.."
"Not to you.... Maybe I'll call Tina...
"Did he touch you... back there...."

"Always Keegan.. this man thought he had control of me... I was a puppet to him... he dangled you and Lamar dying in front of me constantly... and I would do anything to keep all of my boys safe..."
"So I'm one of yo boys?." He smirked.
"You're the main one... you and me created those amazing men... our amazing sons... and Tao is going to need you just as much as they all do...
"And what about you... or is that all I'm here for now.. the kids...."
"Just promise me you'll hurt him.." she said with tears in her eyes, completely skipping his question.
He nodded. "I will... cos he did the ultimate.. and he ruined us... She nodded and looked out of the window quickly so he didn't see her wipe and blink back her tears. Keegan hurt for her. He hurt for their relationship. He wished that he could hold her, he wished that things were just how they used to be. He missed loving her and receiving her love in return. ".. I'm gonna be heading outta town after I've dealt with him..."
Charisma turned and looked at him with a frown. "What do you mean you're going out of town?.."
"I jus' think it's for the best... the business doesn't need me right now... I need time to process this, meaning us... I can't do that here...."
"You can't...
"Oh so it's okay for you to process shit yo way!.. but I've gotta just stay here and deal with it... seeing you nearly everyday... knowing I'm not with you..." he shook his head. "You have no right to tell me that I can't...
"You... you can't... please don't go...
He shook his head. "That's unfair C... but you've always been jus' a lil unfair when it comes to what I want!...." He said getting a little angry. "You can't have it all yo way...
"YOU WILL DIE!.... He stared at her and pulled the car on to the drive of her place. He stopped the car and killed the engine.
Charisma held her head in her hands and looked away from him. "Don't do that C... you need to tell me what you mean... Now!.."
She chewed her lips. "The Albanians are coming for you... more of them... Yakiv's death means the whole of the mafia is looking for you... so you can't go anywhere without full on protection....
"Where the fuck did you hear this... what the FUCK!... and you know I can handle myself...
"AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.... In a coma, almost fucking dead... when I needed you.. when I was at my lowest and trying to get my self straight... you weren't there....
