The darkness was illuminated only by the faint glow of computer screens and the soft hum of machinery. The air was cool and sterile, filled with the scent of burning circuits and ozone.

As consciousness slowly crept back, I became aware of the uncomfortable sensation of rough rope digging into my skin, the coarse fibers biting into my wrists and ankles like a vice. My wrists and ankles felt restricted, bound tightly to a chair's metal frame.

The chair was situated in the center of a large, dimly lit room filled with rows of computer servers, their LED lights blinking like fireflies in the darkness. The walls were lined with shelves, stacked high with crates of electronics, wires, and circuit boards.

A faint hiss of static filled the air, punctuated by the occasional beep or chime from one of the computers. My head spun as I struggled to remember how I got here.

Suddenly, a computer screen flickered to life on the side, casting an eerie blue glow over the room. My heart skipped a beat as I realized how I had gotten here.

Tjay had gotten me.

I looked down and noticed I only had one slipper on.

Where the fuck is my other shoe.

I heard a loud bang and my head quickly whipped to the back. There was a lot of smoke and a bunch of crates came tumbling down like how humpty dumpty tumbled down from the wall. I heard a bit of rustling before I felt something brush against my cheek. My face turned around and I instantly went into horror.

"Sorry baby, did I startle you?" said a Tjay covered in blood. "St-stay away from me." I stuttered.

"Why you scared?" He said innocently. His finger brushed against my lips, resulting to us hearing a loud crake. "Ahhh you fuckin-" and then I felt a sharp sting against my cheek. "You bit my finger." He cried out. "So? You slap like a pussy." I smirked. "What you say?"

"I said you slap like a fuckin' scaredy little pussy." And then I felt a sharp sting against my other cheek. "You punch like a pussy too." I spat out a little blood on him.

I've felt worse.

He sighed and rubbed his temple, "Ian finna entertain your crap right now."

"So why you have me locked up here then?" I asked. "Nothing in particular."

"You answer like a pussy too." I grinned. "Bitch-" "-answer like a man you fuckin bunny. Fuck you want from me and my friends huh?" I asked.

"I want you and I want Black Spades in my control, and a little someone. She's been a bad bad girl and has taken what was rightfully mine." He brushed my cheek. "Can U stop beating around the fuckin bush and just get to the point?" I asked clearly annoyed. He sighed and stepped back. "Ion wanna ruin the suprise...darling." He smirked as he walked away.

"HEY! HEY YOU! COME BACK HERE!" I struggled against the ropes.

Eurghhh, someone get me outta here.

"Oh hey." Pooter waved at me. "Hi." I waved back as I rolled my Ski-mask over my face. "What you got?" Lamar asked.

"Well for starters, there ain't any fishy behaviour going on around here. It seems quite which is odd. Oh and I heard a loud boom coming from the other side." He said.

"A loud boom? Elaborate." I folded my arms. "It came from sector K-12." He said. "Radioactive underground water site. The one that's dangerous." I mumbled. "Yea, so like ion know if it affected the side where Onika's in." He shrug.

"Shit." Mumbled Lamar. "She gon be okay, I promise. Just-..." I sighed, a bit hesitant to continue. "Just what?" He asked.

"Nothing. Look, I'ma go solo on this one." I sighed removing my mask and throwing it away. "Why?" Asked Tai. I knew he would ask that. "I'll have a few...encounters ion want none of you involved." I said, pulling out a purple bandana from my pocket.

"Is there something you'an telling us?" Lamar asked. I simply shook my head. "Nothing in particular."

"Lola..."

"That one night." Was all I said for him to understand. "How many?" Tai asked. "Five." I shrug.

"And don't say I can't because I can and I will." I said as I tied the bandana just above my nose. "Kris, if you see her...get her out please and do your best to avoid her from seeing whatever is to happen. You heard?" I commanded. "Yes." He nodded firmly. "This is all partially my fault so I might as well take the blows." I said to myself.

"System's shutdown. Let's roll." Said Pooter .

Whatever is to happen next is only in the all mighty's hands. The blood...my Lord forgive me for this is the last time I'll ever be like this, and my last breath.
