Detroit, MI:



Ambrose unlocked the door letting Isabella in first, and Aries was sitting on the couch. She quickly jumped up hugging Ambrose as he walked in, "I'm okay baby girl." 


"You have to go get dad, he's about to do something stupid. He got a gun from the attic and left, I put Dylan and Benny to bed and came over." Aries explained.


"Imma find him, y'all stay here." Ambrose said, and Isabella grabbed his arm and gave him a look. 


"You're the face of the NBA right now, you cannot be involved in that. Aries go home baby, take a shower and get in the bed, you have school in the morning. I will find him." Izzy said.


"Yes ma'am." Aries responded, she hugged Ambrose tightly again and he leaned down kissing the top of her head hugging her back. She left out immediately after. Ambrose stepped outside to watch her walk home. He made sure she was in the house before he walked back into his house closing the door, he crossed his arms over his chest looking at Isabella who was avoiding eye contact. 


"What ain't you telling me Bell?"


"I don't want you involved with this Ambrose." She said, and he slipped his finger under her chin making her look his way. When her eyes connected with his she couldn't help but to be honest. "I called him in the office with Monica." She admitted.




"I tried to be peaceful about it Monica, I don't wanna think about it. He crossed the line going to Aries' school." 


"Once you make that call it ain't no going back Izzy, that's what I'm saying. Ben could go to jail." Monica responded.


"I won't let that happen."


"Izzy..."


"If it were you, what would you do?" She asked her best friend turning to look at her, and Monica sighed looking down.


"I'd do the same thing." She admitted out loud chuckling as she shook her head. She pulled her office drawer open pulling out a flip phone, she sat it on her desk sliding it across to Isabella. "Call Aries, they'll automatically come at you, Ben, and Ambrose as prime suspects." Izzy picked up the flip phone, she flipped it open dialing her daughter's number. 


"Hello?" Aries said weirdly answering almost immediately.


"Hey baby, you at home?" Izzy asked her.


"Yes, is everything okay?"


"Of course baby, let me talk to your dad." Izzy said.


"Okay." She replied.


"Who this?" She heard Ben say after a few seconds.
