Bang Bang Bang!





I jumped out of my sleep in fright. My heart pounded in my chest and I felt the bed to look for Jamal. The room is pitch black dark and the only light illuminating was the alarm clock that read 2:25am.










I assumed the banging sound was imaginary but I was then jumping out of the bed and sprinting towards the door when a voice rang out and another knock came.








"Police! Open up!" My heart dropped to my ass. I looked around the room for a robe and found it on the floor by the end of the bed. I put it on and ran out the bedroom.








Frantic, I ran towards Harmony's room to check on her. When I opened her door she was staring at me, coving herself up with her blanket and shaking. She was scared. "R-Raya?"







"Shhh." I put my finger to my mouth. I laid her back down on the bed and tugged on her blanket. She lets go and I tucked the covers around her so that she'll be comfortable. "Just stay here until I come back for you." I whispered. I turned on her night light and kissed her forehead.








"Okay." She nodded. "Where's daddy?"





"I'm looking. Just stay here."





I left her room and went towards the stairs. I leaned over the railing and saw Jamal, Leo and Ivory standing by the door, ready to open it. All three were standing around each other with cautious, sleepy eyes.





"What do we do?" Ivory asks in a hushed tone.







"Be calm." Jamal tells her. Leo grabs Ivory and moves her beside him so that Jamal could open the door.






I made my way downstairs to stand beside him and he glances at me. "Be on your best behavior." He says to me in a dark tone. I nodded, confused as to why he would think I would try to snitch on him.







Jamal opens the door and greets the two cops standing in front of us. They eyed everyone behind him and one of the cops— the girl— angled her head so that she could see inside the house.





"Officers." Jamal smiled fakely.





"Jamal." The male cop said with so much hatred. They know each other?
