Chapter 23 - Tina.

Liam sat up in bed, giving his father a blank stare.

"You mean, back to America?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

Wu scratched his head, giving his son an angry look. He got up from the bed and opened the medicine cabinet, giving Liam an angry look.

"Where's the silver medicine bottle, Liam?" Wu growled.

"What?"

"The medicine bottle that's filled with the daily dose to keep us from catching Typhus?"

"I don't know!" Liam lied. "Why are you asking me?"

Wu walked towards the TV, cutting it on and pressing play. There, it showed Liam grabbing the bottle and going offscreen with it. It never showed who he handed it to. After the tape stopped playing, Liam knew that he was in serious trouble. As Wu held the bottle up, he placed it on the table and grabbed Liam's arm, using a leather belt to whoop him on his backside. As Liam jolted forward and fell onto the ground, Wu stood over his son, kicking him and beating him with the belt.

"Stop!" Liam yelled.

"How DARE you disobey what I say!" Wu barked at him.

Wu continued to beat and whoop on Liam, watching as he helplessly laid on the floor. Wu grabbed Liam by his collar, yanking him up as Wu crouched down on the floor. A small amount of blood came out of his mouth as he tirelessly looked up at his dad with the bruisings and markings on his face.

"If you ever disobey me again, I'll have your neck around a noose." Wu growled. "Do you understand me?"

Liam squinted his eyes shut, slowly nodding his head as Wu aggressively threw him back on the floor.

"These inmates are here to do one thing and one thing only. Work on building MY camp, then dying afterwards! Not for you to be helping them!" Wu growled down at him. "These people are not your friends!"

While this was going on, Chauncey had already picked an adoptive family for Tina's baby girl to go to. With graduation a week away, Chauncey managed to pick an upper class family to send "his" daughter off to. This family was a pair of black realtors from out of town, and they wanted to settle into a new home for their baby girl. The couple couldn't have children of their own, so they decided to adopt a girl. They also planned to adopt two more as well.

Today, the family allowed Chauncey to look around their house to make sure that they had everything that they needed for the baby.

"Feel free to look around, Tina." The man smiled. "The baby room is the first door up the long stairs."

"Thank you." Chauncey smiled.

Chauncey walked upstairs, glancing inside of the pink room. There was a pink crib, pink drawer, pink clothes, teddy bears, and diapers everywhere. Chauncey smiled, gazing at the room as he rubbed on his stomach.

"This is beautiful." Chauncey smiled.

He looked around the room, sliding his fingers on the dresser and taking in where his daughter would be sleeping, resting, and spending most of her time. After checking out the rest of the house, Chauncey jogged downstairs, keeping a smile on his face.

"I like this home." Chauncey smiled. "This will be a pretty nice place for the baby girl."

"Is there anything out of place?" The wife asked.

Before Chauncey could answer, he saw an urgent news thing on CNN. It was the video that Wu sent. His face went blank as he glanced at Tito, Kevin, Dave, Adam, Kendle, Beverly, and himself on TV, being held hostage by gunpoint. The couple looked at each other, then gave Chauncey a concerned look.
