A Detroit Love Thang 3

"Hey little momma," Andre said, still with his mask on. "You look just like your momma. She is beautiful just like you."

"Leave me alone!" Ariana cried, folding her arms in tears.

"You don't have to cry. I'm a good man."

"No you're not. You're a stranger! I want my mommy!" Ariana yelled out as the tears flowed.

"Shut that little bastard up before I shut her up myself." Andre didn't want Kane to hurt Ariana. He still wanted Alicia and he knew her child being gone wouldn't solve the issue. He wanted to be there in her time of need. Besides, as long as Lozella wants her alive, Kane ain't gone do shit.

"Here I got you a sucker," Andre said, still with the mask on.

"No!" she yelled with anger. Kane walked over picking Ariana up by her shoulders.

"Look you little crying motherfucker. If you don't hush your mouth right now, you're never going to see your mommy or daddy ever again. You got that!" Kane yelled. Ariana sobbed as he put her back on the floor of the house they were in. She began to wipe her tears sitting there in the corner looking at the men in the mask. She was bold like her daddy but smart like her momma. She was confused about everything but just wanted to go home.

Niles makes it up to Pretty Women. He walks in the club alone. When the guards and Lozella check him out, he was allowed to enter the back. He followed Lozella to her office. "Where is Ariana?" he asked.

"You'll get her soon but first you and I have to have a conversation."

"What the hell do me and you have to talk about? You killed Loko and kidnapped my daughter! You lucky you're around all your people otherwise-"

"Otherwise what Snake? You would've killed me yourself huh? Yeah, you haven't changed. That's good though, I'll need that on my team."

"No way in hell I'm working for you!" Niles said, getting in Lozella's face.

"Oh you will, and you'll like it. Unless you want to ever see that sweet little girl of yours again." Niles knew that she was serious. He was stuck but nothing comes before his child. That's what his mom Tori always showed him. He'd do whatever for his baby.

"What do you need me for?"

"Well Snake, as you know I run this here establishment, but I also run an escort service, with some legal and illegal dealings. I need another strong man around to help me with the girls and with what you already know. My girls come from all over the world, some with good, very addictive illegal substances. I have to make sure all that plus my business is intact but I can't be everywhere at once. That's where you come in."

"Why you can't get someone else to do this?"

"Because I don't want no one else and it's a good way to torture you!" Lozella laughed for a minute. "You have no choice. I'm going to need you a lot so you might as well make your way home and let my "sister" know you're going to be gone for a while. You bet not think about running either. You know my father, so you know me. I'll have your family killed in a heartbeat."

"You don't even know your own father!!" Niles yelled out.

"And whose fault is that," Lozella said bitterly. "Your daughter will be returned shortly. Now get out of my office."

"You bet not hurt her!" Niles said, bawling up his fist.

"She'll be home. Just do as I say and nothing will happen to her." Niles hopped in his car making his way home.

"I can't believe this shit!" Niles said, beating on his steering wheel. Alicia is never going to forgive me. If I had never went through with the whole set up in the first place, neither my daughter nor Alicia would be in this position. "Damn!" he yelled out again. He was beyond stressed and frustrated. The fact that he couldn't stay behind and make things work made it even worse in his head.

Niles finally made it to his home. He blew out his breath, preparing for the worse. Niles unlocked the door calling Alicia's name. She quickly came from the back, tears still flowing from her eyes. She reached out to hug Niles. He hugged her back tightly.

"Did you find her? Did you find anything?" Niles nodded his head. "Baby where's our daughter?" Niles backed away from Alicia.

"Baby, I got something to tell you and you not gone like it."
