Lawrence stood in the doorway of the room that Indy and Darin were staying in. He smiled at how she was with him.
"He's a cutie that's for sure...

She was sat on the floor playing with her son, and as soon as she heard her father's voice, she looked up at him. "he really is, and trust me Dad none of this has anything to do with him he's innocent in all of this..."

Lawrence walked further into the room, he sat on the bed next to the both of them sitting on the floor. " so what happened?..."

"he was never going to leave his wife,

"I don't think that's the only reason because you knew that a year ago...

She sighed. "He was leaving his guns and product with me and Darin... stashing it...
Lawrence closed his eyes and shook his head.
" I asked him not to, but he said it was safe and that he had done everything in his power to make sure that me and my baby were safe... but then the feds started to come around, asking questions... and I was the one sitting on everything"

"they play dangerous games and you are just stuck in the middle of it..." he paused. "I used to run with a cartel way before you were born... and I was working with Eli's father... he was conniving.. that was the reason I was so scared about you getting caught up with Eli, because if he's anything like his father... you are never gonna be his top priority... you or that boy..." he touched her face gently. " I'm sorry that I took it out on you.... But I only did that because I care so much about you and I didn't wanna see you get hurt but you just were not listening..."

"I know dad... I know that now..." she said.

"so what is your plan? You must have one.?" He asked her.

"I don't... it's just me and Darin right now... and when Eli knows that I'm gone... I'll need to lay low..."

"He doesn't know?."

She shook her head. "He didn't.. he may do now... I left my cell phone in the apartment so that he couldn't track me... I paid in cash for my ticket..." she welled up. " I don't know what I'm supposed to do now, Dad.... I don't know what happens next."
He pulled her to him and gave her a hug.

"well if you're staying here then I expect you to go back to your studies.... Me and your mama can help you with the boy... you're a gifted person... you're as bright as hell... please, don't let this man define you..." he said, she heard every word he said as she stayed in his embrace.

Eli, Reggie and Milo drew up quick at the apartment, Eli ran out of the car and up to the door letting himself in. "Indy.... INDY!...." He yelled searching the place frantically. He looked at the other two after they had searched. "Shit!...SHITTTTT!..."

"Maya or Ana could take her place..." Milo shrugged, and suddenly he landed on the floor on his ass with a split lip, as his brother launched him.

"This is no time for fucking jokes you lil asshole... I need her found and I mean it.." he said as he picked up her cell from the counter top. " She is never getting away from me, you pull out all the stops you bring in anyone you have to... I will find that girl..."
