"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe."

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Eli Pov

Slumping in my chair something in me grew even more worried. It was like a siren went off inside my body indicating something wasn't right. After being at Roberts I came home just to see if Ziara was here and of course she wasn't. I was feeling so sick without her presence. I should have just told her from the start. idiot! I mentally called myself.

I rubbed my face to what seemed like the millionth time already. "Eli!" Collin came barging in my office causing me to instantly stand up. "Tf Collin!" He cut me off while speaking hella fast. "X got Ziara man." He looked down waiting for my response. I jumped out of my seat pissed to the max and started throwing shit. My breathing was uneven, "What the fuck you mean he got her?" I questioned and my face, if it could show was red as hell.

He took some steps back aware of my sudden temper before answering. "X sent someone to tell us he had her..." Everyone else started piling in the room. They noticed shit was thrown everywhere and that I was in no good mood.

"Where's the motherfucking messenger?" I looked at Collin and it seemed right on que Dee came in with our little visitor.

He pushed him to the ground in front of me. I pulled out my gun in front of his face, anger filled even more in my veins. "Where the fuck is she!" I spat so he could feel every word. He laughed a little pissing me off a little more. "Why don't you ask X himself." He said before handing me a phone that was calling X.

As soon as I heard his voice answer I took no time in shooting the man on the ground killing him instantly. "Did you have to kill my messenger?" X laughed a little. Blood was oozing out the man I shot, but i didn't give no damn. "Enough with the fucking games X where tf is Ziara?" He laughed again. It sounded like he moved the phone around until another voice came on the line.

"Eli!" I heard her voice call and my heart dropped. Before I could say anything X came back on the call. "If you want to see her again Eli you know what I want. I'll be at my office." The line ended and I became furious. All this over a damn piece of paper. Why was it so damn important.

I threw the phone at the wall watching it crash into small pieces I was so heated. "We can't give him that code Eli it's way more to it Robert told me." I looked at Dee with a expression for him to explain.

20 minutes later I was hip to everything. "So you telling me he wants to blow up a whole damn community just to start his own. That's fucking insane!" I called out. I knew I was heartless, but that was fucking to extreme.

"It's also gone kill a lot of gangs in the process putting him on top." Dee went on. I shook my head in disbelief. This man is fucking crazy.

I sighed, "Call Robert and let him know what's going on." I knew he was gone be just as pissed.

"We already informed him." Dee insured. "Everybody out but Dee!" I instructed and they listened.

When everyone was out I went to the back of my office. I moved a painting and behind it was a safe. I put in the access code before it opened and took out what I was looking for.

"You sure about this Eli?" Dee questioned.

"I got a plan don't sweat it." I said while Dee gave a quick nod.

"Go out and tell everybody to get ready and strap up." I looked at him and he looked at me already knowing what was about to go down.

X want to fuck with me and my girl than he about to get the heat that came with it.

Ziara Pov

My wrists felt a little bruised from the tightness of the rope. Once again I was tied to another damn chair. This time my legs were to. I sighed in defeat as I kept squirming.

"Comfortable?" An annoying voice sounded. He was really irking my soul. I wanted nothing more, but for him to be dead. I smirked a little. "Just how I like it." I responded. He laughed a little eyeing down at me.

"You know I admire your boldness I see Eli taught you how to grow a pair." He said before laughing even more. My lips turned into a frown. He ticked me off a little because he was slightly right. I have always been bold, but still had got scary in some situations.

Ever since I stood up to Eli I felt like I could say any and everything to anyone else, no matter the situation.

My heart longed for Eli once again. I knew I over exaggerated earlier and became upset with myself. First off I wouldn't even be in this situation if I hadn't acted out. Secondly I knew Eli just didn't know how to come to me about my father. I knew deep down he wasn't using me because just like me he was in love.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to know how much he felt about me. I was just to much in my own anger saying things I didn't really mean, and acting out.

I shook my head a little thinking back to what my mama had told me. I kind of almost choked up remembering hearing those gun shots as I ran. "Your insane." I bluntly said to him making him stop laughing. A stern face replaced his earlier expression.

"I'm not insane my dear I just understand the concept of power more than anyone." He said so serious. He disgusted me and my face showed it.

"Killing tons of innocent people just so you can have more power is what you call sane?" I said with a hint of disbelief. He looked back at me surprised in my response.

"Coming from a girl who killed for money, and what for because you felt it would make better opportunities." He scorned.

I thought on what he said. The people I killed weren't no were near innocent. I don't know if I was saying that to make myself feel better or if it was true.

"I don't kill tons of innocent people including children at the same damn time. You just want that for you own power and land." I said trying to make myself feel a little better.

"How do you think we got in America?" He laughed. "Whites came here killing and taking over just as they came and went to Africa enslaving blacks. Look at how America is now." He said surely. "There's cities, communities, new medicines you name it." He started to make me angry.

"America is shit filled with racism, violence, and hate. Most importantly in control are people who are money hungry. Who send off people in wars to fight for they stupid ass disputes. The people in power are nothing but cowards." I was angry at how blinded he was.

"It doesn't matter what you think anyway. Soon you and a lot of people will be dead." He evilly laughed pissing me off even more.

"The only person who is going to be dead is you once Eli gets here." I grinned. Instead of him being insulted he grinned back at me. "Who said Eli was going to even make it here?" He smiled making me confused. Then it hit me... Collin and Celicia. Nobody had warned Eli about them. I got kidnapped before I could and my mama...I rather not even say. If nobody tells him then they just gone take the paper they damn self and killing Eli in the process. I bowed my head down in frustration there had to be a way to tell them before its to late.

Eli please be safe...
