Baby Dee began to pace around the area, trying to come up with a plan. He knew that he had to lure Ray so he can launch his attack.
Rico: You thought of something yet?
Baby Dee: Yeah. *rips the tape off Chantel's mouth*
Chantel: *screams from the pain*
Baby Dee: I want you to listen closely. You're gonna call your little punk ass boyfriend. Tell him to come to the warehouse on the other side of town. ALONE. If he brings the police, someone's gonna die. *puts the gun to her head* And it's gonna be you.
Chantel: *scared* O-okay.
Martin dials the number on her phone & calls Ray. On the other side of town, back at the police station, Ray hears his phone ringing.
Ray: *sees Chantel's name* It's her!
Commissioner: Keep her on the line as long as you can while we trace the call. *brings the detective back in* I need you to trace the call from Rayan's phone until you can figure out where Chantel is located at.
Detective: Yes sir.
Ray: *answers* Baby! Where are you?!
Chantel: Ray, please. Help me.
Ray: I will! Just tell me where you're at!
Chantel: *crying* They're gonna kill me. They're gonna kill me.
Ray hears her scream, not knowing that she was just pistol-whipped by Baby Dee. Baby Dee shoves the gun to her temple, & she cries harder.
Ray: Who got you, Chantel?
Chantel: *whispers, still crying* Baby Dee & the Eastside Boys. Ray, you gotta come here. PLEASE!
Ray: BABY DEE?! Tell me where the fuck y'all are at, NOW!
Chantel: At the old abandoned warehouse on the other side of town. They want you to come ALONE. No police, or they'll kill me. *still crying*
Ray: Don't cry, baby. I'm on my way. *hangs up* I TOLD YOU HE HAS HER!
Commissioner: Listen to me good. I don't want to risk Chantel's life. I want you to go down there & get her. Help her escape. We'll be about a block down from the warehouse.
Ray: I got you, sir.
Ray takes off running, but before he heads downtown, he makes a quick stop. He frantically bangs on her house door. Charde, who was sleeping, woke up to the repeated & hard banging. She got up & went downstairs to open the door, only to see Ray at the doorstep.
Charde: Oh, running away from the law THIS time?
Ray: No. Baby Dee has your sister. I need you to go with me.
Charde: What?
Ray: Put some clothes on & HURRY. We gotta go to the other side of town.
Charde: Aight. But ONLY because I want to see my sister.
She quickly puts on her clothes & grabs her phone. They hop inside Ray's car & speeds off to the other side of town. At the police station, Gina couldn't believe what she heard.
Gina: You mean ANOTHER gang banger has my daughter hostage?!
Commissioner: Yes, Ms. Payton. Baby Dee is HIGHLY dangerous. That's why we're letting him go alone.
Gina: What if something happens to my baby girl?! You're SERIOUSLY gonna trust one gang banger with the life of my Chantel while ANOTHER gang banger is threatening to kill her?! What the hell is wrong with y'all?!
