Her Bad Girl

HBG 24

~Dawn

When Karina came back with Nika, who had paid for all our stuff, and her two children, I was shocked. I stood in the middle of the laundry mat just as puzzled as Karina was.

"I'll explain everything once we get to my house. Just know nothing is as it seems and there are loop holes everywhere." She gave us a damn riddle.

We waited until after our laundry was done and put it in her trunk and she gave us a ride to her place. Something in me told me to trust her. Karina was in shock and she hadn't spoken a word. She was speechless.

One we made it to Nika's place, we saw that it was pretty nice. She had been doing well for herself. We walked inside with her and saw her mom watching TV and the kids ran to her.

"We'll talk in the dining room." Nika said leading us to her nicely decorated diningroom.

We sat down and prepared ourselves for her explanation.

"Basically, I faked my own death in order to be free of that life. I realised after the situation with Raul, I didn't want to be in that life anymore, and I told my mother. She mad a phone call to your mother Karina. Your real mother, who just so happens to be the wife of one of those old white dudes in the government. Basically, she helped me fake my death, and one of the waiters in there was an undercover spy, and he got me out of there. I was wounded, but I was able to come out alive. She had me and my family move here to this town because nobody would know us. I'm unde a fake name, Janis Dawkins, and its pretty cool. So yeah, thats all. I didn't die and I'm not into the gang shit anymore. I'm a devoted mother now. I haven't been there for my kids in the past, but I'm really trying now and I have a steady job and it pays well." She had tears in her eyes. "I didn't want to keep that secret from you Karina. I thought about you everyday and worriedif you were okay, but after I found out who your real father was, I knew you would be alright." She sniffled.

"Oh my god." Karina finally spoke. "I cried for days thinking you were dead and that I would never see you again." Karina wiped at a tear that was falling from her own eye. "But we are not safe." She put her hand on mine.

"Why what happened?" Nika asked.

"Patrick wanta to kill Dawn because he found out she was eavesdropping on him."

"Oh shit. So thats why y'all are here?" Nika asked.

"Yes. We needed to get out of the hohse he put us in and get to amother state." I told her.

"Well he won't stop looking for you. It took years for him to stop looking for your mother, he definitely won't stop looking for you." She said.

"Well in that case we have to kill him before he can get to us. We just don't have a plan." I told her.

"I can help you, but you have to tell him where you're at and Dawn, I'll need you to be the bait." Nika said.

"Fine. Anything to get rid of his ass." I frowned thinking about his evil ass. The man i had considered a father for years was a fucking lunatic enemy.

"Well, lets get to planning." Nika said.

"Wait." Karina stopped her.

"Yes?"

"How did you know about my mom?" Karina asked.

"I founf out the day my mom called her. My mom knew all along and never told me. She said it wasn't her place to tell anyone, it was your mother's. And when she wanted you to know, she'd let you know." Nika said.

"Wow..." Karina said trying to soak it all in. "Yeah...lets just plan and not talk about any of that anymore." She said trying to surpress her anger and irritation that I could tell was eising in her.

There was too much secrecy around her. Her mother wasn't her mother, her father was a man she didn't even know, she had a sister in law who had been out to kill her. She had a mother whom she didn't know at all and had never met. It was truely sad, but she would get through it. She was strong. I jusg hoped I could get through this being the bait shit and survive.
