They Took Him

Chapter 17: Finally Got Her

La'Tisha was hiding again, but this time I had a whole crew looking for her and I had a $50,000 prize for whoever could bring her to me. Two weeks after I put the hit on her, she was delivered. I didn't kill her immediately; I took my time. When the girl saw me, she looked like she had seen a ghost. She started shaking and crying, talking about how she was sorry, but she didn't even know what I was about to put her through. I paid the boy, Melvin, for bringing her to me and it was just me and her. I grabbed every tool I had so that I could get to work. She was going to die a brutal death. Normally, I'd put a bullet through my enemy's head, but La'Tisha was not getting it that easy. The way I saw it, La'Tisha was about to feel the death of four people: my mother, father, brother, and best-friend.

I grabbed the military field knife and went across her face with it. I swear I saw the true La'Tisha right after I cut her that first time. Her eyes dried up and all of a sudden she started talking smack which only fired me up more. I took the knife and went across the other side of her face. I cut her everywhere I could at the moment and watched her bleed.

"Your brother deserved to die; he killed my brother. You were never in this game, I knew who you were before Tiffany did her little introduction. I saw you, Joshua, and your mother toss my brother in the river. You were looking for his brother, but you never thought to check and see if he had sisters. He was my brother", she laughed.

All of a sudden, that night came crashing to my remembrance. I remembered my brother pulling the trigger of the gun with tears in his eyes. He had protected me that night, but I didn't protect him. I was going to avenge his death, though, and that was promised.

"I killed your precious mother", she kept talking. "I put the bullet through her head. I knew Terrence was your brother because both of my brothers worked for your dad before he died; Terrence was always around. You trusted me and your enemy was right in your face. You're nothing but a naive little bitch", she screamed.

I put a bullet through both of her knees and heard her scream out in agony. Her screams satisfied me for some reason and I thought maybe I was losing my mind, but I didn't care.

"My brother is going to kill you", she said. With those words, I shot her three times in the chest. The girl was a soldier because she was still breathing.

"You should have killed me", I told her before I emptied my gun of bullets in her body. When she took her last breath, though, all I felt was sadness. I felt sadness that me and Tiffany couldn't have killed her together. I felt sadness that I was so blind. I felt sadness because this war wasn't over; La'Tisha's brother was coming for me. La'Tisha stayed true to her word so I knew he would find me. Brandon ordered the clean up crew to get rid of her body and we got to working on who La'Tisha's brother could be...

Tracking him down was hard, but I felt a little confort that I had finally got her..

La'Tisha was dead !
