Break free: Do or Die

Dru

I floored my whip to my mother's house and parked in her driveway. I hopped out the car with Tate, Ashya and Drake. We walked in her house to my daughter running up hugging me, I kneeled down to her level.

"Hey baby girl" I said.
"Hey Mommy I missed you" Millian said cheesing from ear to ear.
My mother came in the living room to see it was just us standing there. She must been washing dishes before we walked in because she had a plate and a dry towel in her hand.
"Mommy play with me" she said holding up a doll.
I chuckled "I got you baby but right now at this moment mommy needs you to go with auntie Ashya to your room and pack your clothes"I said kissing her face before sending her off with Ashya leaving me, Tate and Drake alone in the living room with mom.
Mom looked at me confused "What's going on baby"? asked my mom.
"Ma you and Millian have to leave I'll explain later but I need y'all to go to the safe house and wait for me to get there" I said already knowing it was ready to be a fuss.
"Why do we have to leave"? Mom asked as she walked closer to me.
"Mom please... I'll explain later" I said.
"How about now"? Mom asked.
I was starting to get frustrated by the minute and these questions my mother was asking she just wanted her to do what she was asking.
"Can you please"... Said Dru with watery eyes but her mother cut her off.
"Tell me what's going on" mom raised her voice a little.
I turned around trying to calm down then she faced her mother still with watery eyes "Jerry is dead" I yelled at mom.
Mom stood in shock "What did you just say"?
"He's gone mom... Someone killed him and nine times outta ten whoever killed him is coming for us Next" I said breaking the bad news to her.
Mom stood still with a open mouth "Oh Lord Jerry" mom said falling down on the couch with her hands on her head.
"We gotta go ma" I said in a low voice.
"Dru'ona I told you baby to leave this alone I told you something like this would happen" mom said with watery eyes.
"None of that matters right now mom what matters is I need you to go with Millian to the safe house and wait for my call" I  said lowly.
"What are you bout to do... What happens if you don't make it there" mom asked still with tears in her eyes.
"Then I need you take care of Millian for me" I said with tears in my eyes.
Mom ran up and hugged me so tight as she dropped a few tears, but I knew it was no time to have a sentimental moment. It was time to put a stop to this once and for all. Mom left the room only to return with two separate keys in her hand, she placed the key in my hand and told me this was what my father gave her to give me when I was old enough to understand.
" What's this"? i asked as i looked up at her confused.
"It the key to the old apartment that you father had, he brought it before he died. I think you should see what is there before you plan to leave here for good". mom stated, i gave her one last hug and she left the room to pack.

I played with my daughter for a few minutes and let her know mommy loved her and would see her soon. Ashya and Drake took mommy and Millian to the airport while me and Tate discussed our next moves over with Briana. I sent Snake to found out imformation on Wise's location. We were cracking down and it was definitely time for the action which I lived for shit like this.
It was do or die in this situation.
