   Andre watches as the police went in an out of Basset's home, Regina Basset call him one hour ago asking him if knew the whereabouts of her daughter. When he got home he saw her picture allover the news; Angela Basset attach to the Richmond Police department went missing.

    He couldn't think, he was lost for words. He couldn't believe he let a police into his life, see everything that he does at the warehouse. He needed to find her. Andre calls up his men and ask them to meet him at Angela's apartment.

Arriving at Angela's apartment complex Dre took out his key; which Angela have given him. When he got inside, he saw that everything was in there rightful place. Going to her bedroom and looks in her closet, clothes were missing.

  Heading back to the living room"Angie ran away, I need you guys to find everything she has on us and then we are going to trash the place", everybody nods at his command and went to there part.

  Went back to her bedroom and went to the closet. He saw a couple shoe boxes. He looks in it and saw shoes but one particular box caught his eye. This must be it he thought.

  Andre took down the box and went through it. In it was pictures of him and her, her parents but what caught his eyes was a blueprint of his warehouse.
He took and shoves it his pocket and went to find his men. "Tre get everybody we burning this place to the ground"

   "But boss innocent people live here"
"I don't care just blaze this place up"with that being said he walks out he was drained and stress. He looks into the glove compartment and found the ring box. Inside was a 24 carrat princess cut engagement ring. He was going to propose on there three year  anniversary which was in two days.

    Now he was confuse and had no clue which way to look. He started the ignition and left out, right now he needed his weed and a glass of henny and his bed.
Thirty minutes his phone chimed with a message from Tre the place was burn right down to the ground.

  Smiling to his self Dre went to bed not before muttering to himself how much he wanted Angela dead.

                             ***

    Angela was exhausted she was driving for so long, she had no clue where she was. She was hungry and needed rest. She came to a stop by a gas station and went into the mini mart where she bought herself a large bottle of ginger ale and a packet of salt crackers since that was the only thing she could keep down.

    Leaving the mini mart she filled up her tank with gas.  She was about to start the ignition when she spoke to the clerk who operates the gas pump, "excuse, is there a place where I can stay for the night"

  The clerk who looks about early twenties said" there is an old motel few blocks down, no one really goes there but it is always open"

"Thanks" she pulled out off the gas station and into the busy street. It took her a few minutes to find the old beat up motel, the paint was peeling. It look like it once had some kind of color but years of not getting repainted the color turned white.  The sign which reads Sandy Motel now hangs from one of its hinges and only one light blink.

   Parking her car in the empty parking lot she grabbed her things and headed towards the motel. Entering she was greeted by a foul smell, it reek of stale beer and cigarette smoke and urine. Hearing the bell chime the middle age lady who was busy gossiping on the perk up her head to see her standing there.

  "Margo, I will call you back. Someone just came in the motel".

  Angie couldn't hear what the person was saying on the other end. "Hi, welcome to Sandy's Motel am Sandy"
"Need a room for the night"

Sandy handed her a key with her room number on it. She thanks her, and made her way up the flight of stairs to her room. Surprisingly the room was well kept. It had a queen size bed in the middle of the room, with mahogany furniture's, kitchenette and small bathroom.
   She place her things beside the bed and got in. In the morning she was going to think about what was her next plan, what she was going to do. She needed to see a doctor to confirm what she actually knew.

   How was she to raise a child and be on the run at the same time. She needed to find a better place to stay but as she drifted of to sleep Sandy Motel will have to do.

                                ***

   Dre walks in his Mama house a little after 8 he was looking for his sister,he needed to speak to her about the things that happen to him recently.
"If you looking for your sister she at the club, ever since that child built that place she been it every minute" Eve said making Dre chuckle. Dre said good night to his Mama and headed to Club Explosion.

  Club Explosion was in full swing. You could hear the beat of the music as it bounce of the walls. The bouncers at the door letting people in. Dre walks up to them, they tried to give him a hard time since he didn't want to pay the entrance fee and his name wasn't on the guest list.

   Queenie walks outside to see her workers and brother in a heated argument. Walking over to them she clear things up,that Dre was her brother. He followed into the club and into a VIP booth. She order a couple bottles of champagne. "What brings you here?" She asked him.

"Angela is working for the Richmond Police Force."
