The Way

•26•

Lani,

I was right. August was the one coming down the stairs but instead of him being our kidnapper he was also kidnapped.

"Tie em up." The man said pushing August hard. He sat in the chair letting them tie him up. They all left leaving us alone in the dark basement. I blinked my eyes a few times adjusting my eyes to the darkness.

"Chris," I whispered yelled over in his direction.

"What?" He asked and you could see his figure turning towards me.

"Is this the part where you have a plan?" I asked seriously but when you think about it that was kinda a dumb question.

"Did I say I had a damn plan?" He asked with an attitude. I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me then it dawned on me.

"Wait. If you supposed to be kidnapping us why are you tied up?" I asked August and he chuckled.

"I'm obviously not the one kidnapping then." He shot back rudely.

"Attitude much?"I mumbled and soon the basement door flew open and the lights turned on. I blinked my eyes readjusting them only to see Chris' friend Nick. He was hovering over me with a smile on his face and Chris was giving him the dirtiest looks.

"Come with me." He said motioning for his niggas to untie me. Once I was free I stood up only for Chris to tell me to sit down.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Sit yo ass down." He said not taking his eyes off Nick.

"Don't listen to ya boy he go get ya ass killed." Nick said and I slowly stood back up.

"Sit down Lani." He said again. I sat down annoyed by their childish as games.

"I said stand up." Nick raised his voice making me jump.

"I'm not saying it again Lani...." Chris warned and I smacked my lips.

"What the fuck is the problem?" I asked highly upset. This is the worst kidnap of all times.

"I'm not letting my girlfriend nah my naked girlfriend go nowhere wit yo ass alone." Chris said sternly. He talking a lot of shit for him not to have a gun.

"C'mon Chris, you should know me better than that." He said and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Nigga please. The same nigga that's suppose to be on my side is the one who is kidnapping me." Chris said and Nick shrugged.

"That's just how the game goes." He said smirking.

"Boss Maria here." One of his workers said and Nick sighed cussing under his breath before leaving out the basement with the rest of his crew. We were once again alone and this time I was untied. Dumbasses.

I quickly went over to where Chris was and untied him. He smiled pecking my lips before we began looking around the room for a way out.

"What about me?" August said and Chris chuckled slowly walking over to him.

"Yo ass could die in the damn basement and I wouldn't give a fuck." He said but I pushed him out the way and began untying august.

"Y'all can kill each other later but we have to leave. I helped you so I don't want yo ass kidnappings me nomo." He thanked me and we all continued to search.

We soon heard the basement door open again and we quickly ran back our seats pretending to be tied up.

"Let's go." He said as he came to untie us. He went over to Chris first.

"How did y'all get the rope loose?" He asked looking from all three of us. We all smirked not once saying a word. We followed him upstairs into the living room where everyone was lined up and shit.

"What the fuck is this?" Chris asked taking the words out my head. Nick smirked evilly looking at each of us.

"I want August first, Then we can take baby girl right here...imma need her for later. I got something special for Chris." Nick said and another pit formed in my stomach.

"You got who the hell you want let Lani go." Chris said and nick shook his head.

"Hell nah. For what?"

"Man, if you go kill us then kill us now. What the fuck you waiting on?" He said boldly. My head shot in his direction. I don't need him offering me up for death.

"You got balls now?" Nick took a step closer and so did Chris. They were now face to face only inches away from each other.

"Hell yea. Get this over wit. Stop stallin." Nick laughed. They started to say more things but I blocked them out while I thought of a way to get the hell outta here.

I looked around and saw that it was about six men in here each with guns in their hands. It'll be impossible to try and escape.

Chris,

"Just let Lani go. That's all I'm asking." I said looking over at Lani who was looking around the room deep in thought.

"I don't give a fuck about what you asking. That bitch ain't going nowhere and you ain't either." I opened my mouth to cuss him out but before I could Lani had slammed a lamp over his head. I didn't even have a chance to digest what the fuck she just did before bullets began flying.

I grabbed Lani hand pulling her down behind the old couch. "I have a plan!" She whispered and before I could say anything she got up and ran outside so I followed.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked but she ignored me going over to a random car. She picked up a brick that was on the ground and broke the window. My baby a savage.

"Hurry up!" She said getting in the driver seat. I would've said something smart but I figured it wasn't a good time.

"Ain't no key." I said and she smacked her lips.

"Thanks for telling me. Imma hotwire it." I looked at her funny.

"Who taught you that?" I asked and she shrugged.

"I watch a lot of TV." She said and seconds later the car started up as Nick workers came rushing out the house shooting at us. She pulled out the driveway swerving and shit.

"You need to slow yo none driving ass down!" I yelled at her and she smiled ignoring me.

"Excuse me for not wanting to die!" She shot back speeding up a little. I looked back and saw that they were right behind us.

"Speed up on they asses." She gave me a look like she was irritated before stepping on the brakes.

"Chris can you not tell me what to do right now?" She asked swerving over to the next lane.

"Hell nah! You driving crazy and shit I'm not tryna die!" I yelled. They started shooting at the car causing her to scream and duck. "That's what the hell I'm talking bout...." I said shaking my head. Her foot pressed down on the gas pedal hard as hell giving full speed.

"Shit!" She cussed out loud hitting the steering wheel. I saw her glance in the rearview mirror and her eyes widened just as they car rammed into the back of ours sending my head straight into the window.
