LOYALTY

Chapter 7

I can't believe this is happening. I knew I should've just stayed single. I wouldn't be in this shit. Now I'm in danger, my boyfriend in danger & my whole damn family in danger. I want to know what the fuck is going on with this family. Something isn't right. I know it's not.

Whitney thoughts are just all over the place. She was trying to call her mom but wasn't getting a answer.

"Ms. Ashley can you take me to my mother's job please. She's not answering my calls"

"Sure honey! Let me go get Tracy then we can visit yall family. But we have to be gone before 12am."

"Okay that's perfectly fine."

"Alright, we almost there"

The ride felt like forever. Tevin & Gisselle were sleep. Chris, Nya, & Whitney were all listening to their music. Joshua had took his car so he could go pick up some things that his mother had stashed away for emergencies like this.

Ashley finally pulled up to her sister house & Tracy was sitting out side by herself. 

"Baby why are you out here by yourself? Where's your aunt?"

Ashley asked her 4 year old daughter.

"Aunty told me to go to my secret place when the bad guys came. I heard her scream & I just stayed there till the bad guys left"

Tracy said as she was wiping her tears.

"Okay baby, go to that pretty girl that's in that car. She'll protect you until I come back okay?"

"Yes mommy"

Tracy got up & went to get in the front seat with Whitney. Ashley grabbed her gun out her purse & quietly searched her sister's house.

"ANA? where are you? ANA.... ANA? I know you hear me calling you"

Ashley yelled and yelled. She didn't hear her sister. She went upstairs to her sister's bedroom.

"Oh my god! Ana? Please talk to me. Please"

Ashley found her sister in a chair tied up with blood all over face. Ana had been beaten to death.

"Jesus why ?"

Ashley said as she tried to clean her sister's head & face.

"I can't believe he did this to you!  I'm So sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I love you"

Ashley began crying hysterically. She couldn't believe her only sister had been killed. She wiped her tears & ran down stairs & out the door.

"Shit just got real. We got to go to the warehouse & grab the other stuff. Now everybody got to pitch in from this point on. This bitch done killed my sister. I don't who's he going after next so we have to get going. Everybody give me your phone"

Ashley said wiping tears. Everybody handed their phones to Ashley. She threw them out when they got on the highway.

"Ms. Ashley, can I go see my mom?"

Whitney asked.

"Sweety we don't have time now.when we get to the warehouse, we'll talk more. Reach under the seat and grab that little phone for me please"

Whitney did as she was asked.

"Now call that 391 number. That's Joshua, tell him go to the warehouse. Then hang up & throw the phone out the window"

"Okay"

Whitney went through the contacts and found the number.

"Go to the ware house now!"

Whitney said. She rolled down the window and threw the phone.

"Ma, what are we going to do?"

Tevin asked.

"Didn't I tell you I was going to talk more when we got to the ware house?"

Ashley said.

Joshua had made it to the stash house in upper marlboro, that's where his mom kept all the emergency money. He went in there & broke the lock off the closet. He grabbed each duffle & threw it by the door.

Damn! I didn't know my mom was saving like this. This a lot of fucking money.

He manage to get the duffle bags out the house & into his car. He set the house on fire and drove off heading toward the ware house.
