The Devil's Game (On Hold)

The Hidden Mission

A few months later, it was Ray & Chantel's 4 month anniversary. It was a teacher workday that Friday, so Ray decided to surprise her.

Chantel: *sleeping away*

Ray: *calls her*

Chantel: *answers* Hello?

Ray: Happy anniversary, baby.

Chantel: Awww, happy anniversary to you, too.

Ray: Chantel, I want you to get dressed.

Chantel: Ok. Where are we going?

Ray: I'm going to take you out for a romantic lunch later.

Chantel: Ok! What time to meet you?

Ray: Meet me at the mall at 12:30. I gotta pick up something from there & then we'll go to lunch.

Chantel: Aight, Ray.

Ray: And baby?

Chantel: Yeah?

Ray: Wear something sexy for me.

Chantel: *bites lip* I got you. Bye. *hangs up*

Chantel gets out of bed & takes a shower. When she comes out, Charde was coming upstairs.

Charde: What are you up to?

Chantel: If you must know, Ray's taking me out to lunch for our four month anniversary.

Charde: Oh. Be careful when you go out.

Chantel: Charde, don't start.

Charde: No, seriously! Baby Dee & the Eastside Boys just got out of jail the other day. I don't wanna see you get hurt since they're gonna be looking for Ray.

Chantel: Aight. I'll be safe.

Charde: If you feel like you're in danger, call me. Don't hesitate. Just do it.

Chantel: I hear you.

Chantel leaves & heads to the mall to meet Ray. Meanwhile, she didn't know that trouble was quickly heading her way. Baby Dee & the Eastside Boys were riding by when they saw her.

Baby Dee: Ray's a dead man when I see him. Getting all our asses locked up & he walks away scott-free? I don't fucking think so.

Martin & Daryl, two of the members of the Eastside Boys, notices Chantel across the street.

Martin: Aye, ain't that his girl walking across the street?

Daryl: *looks back* It sure is.

Baby Dee: I got an idea. Martin, turn this shit around!

Martin quickly turns around & speeds up to catch up with her. Chantel was on the phone once again with Ray.

Ray: Are you close, baby?

Chantel: Yeah. I'll be there in about 10 minutes. You can wait 10 minutes, right Ray?

Ray: I'll wait a lifetime for you.

Chantel: *giggles* Awww!

Ray: I'll be standing near the food court entrance. See you soon.

Chantel: Okay. See you in 10. *hangs up*

Baby Dee: *to her* Aye baby! Remember me?

Chantel: Yeah. You're that guy who fought Ray at Club Esquire a few months back.

Baby Dee: Smart little girl. Where you going?

Chantel: To the mall to meet Ray. Today's our four month anniversary.

Baby Dee: How about we give you a ride? It's the least I can do.

Chantel thinks about it for a second. She wants to take up Baby Dee's offer, but she feels like she shouldn't. She ignores her feeling & decides to do it.

Chantel: Ok!

Baby Dee: Jamal, Rico, help Miss Chantel inside.

Jamal & Rico, the last two members in the gang, help her inside. They drive off, making Chantel think they're just dropping her off. Martin drives past the mall, & she makes a strange face.

Chantel: You passed the mall.

Baby Dee: *turns around & looks at her* So?

Chantel: I need to go the MALL. Ray's waiting for me.

Baby Dee: There's been a change of plans, Chantel. You're staying with us.

Chantel: YEAH RIGHT, NIGGA!

She tries to open the door, but Jamal & Rico hold her down. Chantel throws a punch at Jamal, giving him a black eye. He responses by slapping her hard in the face.

Chantel: *screaming*

Daryl: Rico, the cloth!

Rico nods his head & gets the cloth soaked in strong peroxide. He puts it to Chantel's face & covers it, making her breathe it. Her muffled screams soon stopped, & she becomes unconscious.

Baby Dee: *starring at her* We got big plans for you, baby girl. *chuckles some*
