Our Challenge

Mission Complete?

Jasmine POV

After the gunshot went off Zaiden walked towards the front.

I noticed he stopped walking and tilted his head to the side.

"Shit." I hear Kade say.

"Joseph, do you have a gun?" Kade questions.

I look at my dad who is protecting Nancy, "What? Gun?"

Kade pulls me closer to him as the crowd is running trying to escape, "If you have a gun shoot in the air now."

He looks at Kade, "What?! Why?! That's going to cause more chaos."

Kade points towards the front, "Lyric was the one who was shot and Zaiden just figured that out. Shoot the gun so we can get the attention of the shooter."

Dad reaches for his gun and shoots in the air twice.

Zaiden looks towards us and then past us. I see something run through his eyes and he takes off.

Before I can see where he is going Kade stops me.

"You and Nancy will go find Jasmine. I'm going with Zaiden."

He kisses me on the forehead and then lips.

I shake my head, "Wait, no. Where are you even going?"

He runs off and looks back at me, "Joseph is going with you. He's going to help you with Lyric. Meet us at the checkpoint."

He leaves my sight and I look at my dad, "Lead us to Lyric."

He shakes his head, "I do not know where she is."

I roll my eyes, "What were you doing the whole time you were in there?"

He pulls me towards him just as a group of people run past me, "She was located in a place I could not enter."

"Excuse me."

We turn to see the woman who was carried in with Lyric standing in front of us.

We keep quiet and she clears her throat, "I was told when I see the woman with the tablet to show her my arm."

Me and Dad look at Nancy and then back at the woman. She shows her arm to Nancy and Nancy lets out a sigh of relief, "She's with Lyric. Can you take us to her?"

She nods and leads us to the back.

I look back and see Zaiden and Kade fighting a group of men.

I follow behind the woman and she looks at us, "I'm Farida."

She looks at my dad, "Are you Zaidy?"

My dad makes a disgusted look, "Absolutely not."

She shows him a small smile, "Sorry, I was told that I would know how to find you by looking for someone with a laptop or tablet."

"Is Lyric okay? We know she was the one who was shot."

She shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know. I used the commotion to come find you. I know she's safe because Ario is with her."

She leads the way and minutes later we are approaching a bedroom.

We walk in and the man who carried Lyric and Farida pulls Farida away from us and stands in between her and us.

Farida placed her hand on his forearm, "It's okay RB."

"God damn! You big as shit!" My dad exclaims.

I look at my dad with disbelief and then nod my head, "I can see where I get the no filter from."

My dad walks up to the man we now know as RB and look up at him, "Who the fuck are you?"
