The Blaze Before Dawn

The Wondering Why

The mystery man Tommy had put Blaze inside of a room with nothing but a tv shirt on. He read her well and knew she was way too traumatized to even escape. Days went by and she said nothing. She felt nothing. She didn't sleep or eat. All she saw in her brain were the faces of all of her rapist and Romes eyes. His eyes were always filled with love and sincerity but now they were probably colorless and dead. The thought of that once again caused Blaze to grab her stomach and cry uncontrollably.

I woke up this morning with a real bad feeling. Some shit wasn't right. I grabbed my lucky glock without the safety and got into my car and sped over to Blaze' apartment. When I pulled up there was some beautiful short light skin chick with dreads lurking around. I parked my shit, tucked my gun, and got out the car. I looked the light chick up and down and just went on my way.

"Hey maam." She said. I turned around and grabbed that thang on my waist just in case.

"What?"

"Hey...I'm looking for my brother he's about 6'3" and light skin with green eyes and his girlfriend is like 5'5" and dark skin with burgundy highlights.."

My eyes widened.

''Rome and Blaze?''

''Yeah! Do you know anything?''

''Nah but that's why I'm here.'' I said walking past her and going toward Blaze' apartment. She followed behind me as I knocked on Blaze' door five times...no answer. Me and her both called Blaze and Rome separately multiple times and got no answer.

''Back up at least three feet.''

She agreed and stepped back as I pulled out my glock and shot the hinges off the door. Her eyes widened and I could tell she had a million questions, but I wasn't willing to answer any right now. I kicked through the door and the apartment was empty. The girl crept in behind me as her worried eyes scanned the room.

''Fuck....'' I said noticing a little bit of blood by Blaze' couch. I killed enough people to know how to stage  a murder scene and to know what went down. Somebody got pistol whipped in here by the pattern of the blood but they didn't get killed here.

''Oh shit is that blood?'' she asked worried then she lifted up a pillow and noticed a caseless black iphone 6. She put her hand on her mouth. ''Oh my god thats Rome's phone, he'll never leave his phone.''

My eyes saw more blood and I even noticed that the pillows on her couch and were out of place. I saw Blaze' phone sitting on the kitchen counter and there was food smelling out in the open. In that instant, I knew someone got to them. The girl crashed to the ground not knowing what to do and I rushed over to her.

''I'm calling the police!'' 

I grabbed her hand.

''Whats your name?''

''Kailyn.''

''Okay Kailyn look at me, you cannot, i repeat you cannot call the police.''

''Why the fuck not!? My brother and Blaze are missing!''

''Look at me.'' I said calmly as her pretty ass eyes connected with mine, ''I will find out what happened to them, I know you just met me but you gotta trust me. The police can't get involved at all.''

She nodded her head as tears fell out and I held her. Blaze was in trouble because ain't no way in hell someone could take her down that easily. She was young but dangerous and more skilled then the military. Blaze and Rome, I will find y'all. 

Blaze

Blaze just wanted to know why did she have to swallow so much pain at only eighteen. She was still a kid basically but she felt like she was forty. She lost all of her siblings and her parents didn't care about her. The only person who loved her unconditionally was now dead because of her. 

In walked Tommy with some food as her body shook. They said nothing to each other and Blaze side-eyed the food.

''Why wont you speak?''

Blaze just sniffled her nose and said nothing. She was inaudible.

I met up with Syl at her house as she had on her long red dress and sipped her wine.

''What was this issue you're talking about darling?''

''Blaze is gone...somebody snatched her and her man out of the house.''

Syl sipped her wine some more and placed her glass silently on the table.

''She's a messy girl just like her sister. They like to murder but don't watch their backs.''

I was confused about her weird ass queen of the damned demeanor.

''I'll make some calls and send some people out. This type of shit is bad for business. We are suppose to be untouchable.''

''But we both know....anybody can get touched.''

Sylvia eyed me as she took another sip of wine and never took her eyes off of me.

''Except for Sylvia Lenore.'' she replied coldly.

I got back to my apartment and wrote down everything I knew about Blaze and Rome and every detail of her apartment and what was out of place. Her credit card and cash was still there so who could it be?  Think bitch Think.  I was working hard because I fucked with Blaze and she was a sincere but cold hearted bitch like myself. She never hesitated to off a muthafucka which is what I like because a hesitant muthafucka is also a snitch. 

My phone rung erupting me out my thoughts and I answered it knowing it was Kailyn.

''Yeah?'' I answered. She was sobbing on the other line uncontrollably.

''They found Rome...''
