Keep Your ENEMIES Close and Your FAMILY Closer (Re-Writing)

Chapter 4- So The Story Begins....

One Month Later

I was putting things into the car and was talking to Mike on the phone at the same time. "Yeah. I just picked Minnie up from my parents'." I said. "Let me speak to her." He said. "Hold on." I said and turned the car on and connected my phone from Bluetooth. "Minnie. Daddy on the phone." I said. He started talking to her and she giggled the whole time.

I drove off in the car with him still on the phone. "Where y'all heading?" He asked me. "The mall. We supposed to be meeting up." I said. "Who is we?" He said. "5 minutes." I heard in the background. "Shelly, Maya, Nieya, and Angela supposed to get dropped of after her band practice." I said. "Mm." He said and I laughed which made Minnie laugh. "Wait. You said Maya?" He asked. "Yeah." I said. "Oh. Since when y'all cool like that?" He asked. "We been cool." I said. "Stop that lying I know that you." His voice was cut off for a minute. We just into a car accident. My vision went out but I heard Mike calling my name. "Mir! Baby what happened?? Everything ok?? Amir! Answer me." He screamed. My vision came back and I saw that the car had hit us well it look like it was trying to kill me. We were heading north and they ran the red light heading east. I went out the passenger's door since the car blocked me in, and ran to Minnie's side. "Minnie!" I yelled. "Amir! What's going on!" Mike yelled. I couldn't believe it, I couldn't even speak. My knee started hurting and it cave in so I was leaning in the car. "We just got into an accident." I said. "Minnie. Come on baby, wake up for mommy." I took off her seat belts and was trying to shake her awake I even stood her up; usually she'll wake up. I heard sirens and a man was asking me what I wanted to do with my car. "I need to leave now." I heard Mike say. "You ain't going nowhere." I heard his boss say. "Oh yeah well I'ma put you on speaker." Mike said. "I don't care about this stupid car, I can get it fixed. My baby is in here. Mike! She's not waking up. She was just up and laughing." I scream threw tears. Why in the hell would this man ask me about a damn car? "Mir where are you?" He asked. "Excuse me ma'am, I need you to come with us." A police woman said. "I can't move." I said. "We are going to help your daughter." She said. "I can't fucking move because my fucking knee is broken." I said getting annoyed. "Mir. Calm down for me please." I heard Mike say. "Excuse me who are you?" She talked to Mike. "Michael Wallace. I'm Amir's husband and Aminah's father." He said. "Ok. We are going to take them to Memorial West Hospital. Do you know where that is?" She asked. "Yes I do." He said. "Someone bring a gurney." She yelled. Once they brought it, I was picked up and they placed Minnie in my hands.

Michael POV

"Amir and Aminah Wallace." I said to the lady at the front desk. "Relation?" She asked popping her gum. "Husband and Father." I said. "Amir's in room 500. And Aminah's in 603." She said. "Why aren't they together?" I asked. "Because of their ages and conditions." She said and went back to playing solitaire. I didn't know who to visited first at first but then I decided on Mini. I needed to see what condition she was in because I know Mir would ask me. I also needed someone to watch Mini when I'm not with her. You can't really trust these nurses. "Dad?" A nurse ask that was about to walk in Mini's room and I nodded my head and walk in after her. "How is she?" I asked. "I'll go get the doctor." She said and walked out. About a minute later a female doctor walked in. "Hello I'm Doctor Fredrick." She said and I shook her hand. "We are monitoring her. She had slipped into a slight coma." She said. "A coma?" I asked. "Well a heavy sleep. Not really deep." She said. "I'm thinking she'll be up in about 15 to 20 minutes." She added. "Ok." I said. "Would you like to be alone?" She asked. "Mike. What happened?" Amir's mom said once she walked into Mini's room. "No time to explain. I need to go see Amir. Stay in here with Minah." I said and walked out.

"Mir." I whispered walking into her room. "Yea." She said. "Hey." I said walking to the bed. "Hi." She whispered and I sat at the chair that was next to her. "How's Minnie?" She asked. "She's fine. She's in a type of deep sleep." I said. "Oh my God." She whispered. "It'll be fine." I said and rubbed her face but she turned her face. "No. It's not going to be fine. I have to get surgery tomorrow. I put 3 people in danger today." She cried. "It wasn't your fault baby." I said. "I was the driver." She said. I was going to say something but a detective came in. "Hi I'm Detective Renato. I would like to ask you some questions." He said and I looked at Mir who was still crying. "Umm. Can you give her a while?" I asked and he looked at me like I was stupid but then nodded then left. "Go check on Minnie please." She said. "Are you ok though?" I asked her. "Just go." She said. "Give me a kiss first." I said. "No." She said. "You better." I said. "Or else what?" She asked. "Girl. Just kiss me." I said and kissed her. "I'll be back." I said and walk out.

"Where's Minah?" I asked Mir's mom when I walked out of Mini's room. "What you mean? She in there." She said. "If she was in there don't you think I wouldn't asked you?" I almost yelled. "She was in there before I went to the food court." She said. "The fuck you mean went to the food court? Why the hell would you leave your own 5 month old grandchild alone with all these untrustworthy people? I asked yo ass to watch my daughter to make sure that your daughter is ok." I yelled. "Now where the fuck is my daughter?!?!?" I scream and Dr. Fredrick came to me. "Is something wrong?" She asked. "Do you know where my daughter is?" I asked. "She should be in here." She walked into the room and looked on the bed. Empty. The bathroom. Empty. What the fuck?!?! "My daughter has been kidnapped." I said. She ran out the room and got on the intercom. "Attention. Attention. All staff members. We are going thru a code pink. I repeat Code Pink. Please refer to your color sheet to have in mind what needs to take place." She said. "What about the security tapes?" I asked. "They haven't been working for weeks." She said. OH HELLLL NAWWW!!!!!!!! MY FUCKING 5 MONTH OLD DAMN DAUGHTER HAS BEEN FUCKING KIDNAPPED. How was I going to tell Mir? I punched the fuck out of the wall.

"How is she?" Mir asked me when I walked into her room. I didn't say anything so I guess she read my face. "What's wrong? What happened?" She asked. And I stayed quiet. "Michael Dwayne Wallace." She said. "Yeah." I said. "Tell me what's up." She said moving the bed so she could sit up. "You have to promise me that you won't get as crazy as I think you would." I said. "What is it? Cause I can't promise that." She said. Yeah I know. "Minnie's been kidnapped." I whispered. "WHAT THE FUCK!" She yelled. "What the hell you mean she's been kidnapped?" She yelled at me. "Hey. Don't yell at me. Yell at yo momma. The one that was watching her." I said. I got mad at the fact that I can't get mad at her. "What are we gonna do?" She asked me. "We gonna get our daughter back." I said. "How? We don't have a clue as for who took her." She said. "Yeah. I know that." I said. "Oh my God! I heard what happened. We gonna find out who the fuck gonna steal my niece." Angie bust in the room. "Oh. Y'all having a moment. Sorry." She said and turned around to leave. "No. Stay." Mir said. Her monitor started going up. "Baby. I need you to calm down." I said. "I am." She said. "Angie go get her Doctor." I said and she left. "I don't want to talk to anyone." Mir said. "Knock. Knock." Det. Renato walked in and I saw Mir roll her eyes.

"Ok. So I would like to start the questions." He said sitting down. "We don't want to answer questions." I said. "Well the questions aren't for you." He smarted. "So. Where were you headed before the accident?" He continued. "She don't want to answer any fucking questions right now. So please get the fuck out of here." I yelled. "I'm gonna get some answers." He said then left. "Thanks baby." Mir said. I walked out the room and punched the nearest wall then walked back into the room. Fuck this stupid ass hospital. "Get something for your hand." She said. "What?" "Look at it." She said and I looked. "You need to stop punching walls. We getting a big ass bill today." Mir said. "Shit. I help build this hospital." I said. "Whatever." She said and someone came and taped my knuckles. "Damn. I fucked up." I mumbled. "What was that?" Mir asked. "I fucked up." I said louder. "What you mean?" She asked. "I left her with someone I thought we trusted again. Now she's missing. But I'm going to get our daughter back, if it's the last thing I do." I said. "And I'm going to help." She said. "No you're not. You're fucking two and a half months pregnant. I don't need any more damage done to this family." I said. "She's my child to. I'm the one that pushed her out." She said. "Come on. Let's not go thru this whole I carried and birth her phase." I whispered. "What?" She asked. "Huh? Nothing." I said. "That's what I thought." I looked at her and she smiled so I leaned over and kiss her. "First priority, Get Minnie back." I whispered.
