A Doll In a Dog's Eye

BOOM! 

The sound of the '038, Aubree fired into the dude's chest sounded off. What was bizarre was that this murder occurred in broad daylight. Before her own eyes, Aubree was turning into someone's worst nightmare. She would commit a murder, get rid of a body, and Ceeloz would call her up complaining that another one of his workers were dead. Little did he know, it was his "Baby girl" who was the killer in disguise. She would take them out, and be back hustling that night, then eventually taking over their territory.

"Watch your step T.J." Aubree said to T.J. as she and Trent took him to Tiana's gravesite. It had now been a full year, the exact day that she was murdered to be exact and almost 3 since Dre's incarceration. After replacing her old flowers with fresh red roses and balloons, a dead silence fell. Suddenly Aubree's phone rang, interrupting the silence.

"I gotta take this." Aubree stated to Trent before stepping away from the grave, "Hello?"

"Aub, it's me. I need you to me quick. It's an emergency." Khadijah's thick accent let out from the other end. The panic in her voice was easy to sense.

"Okay. I'm coming." Aubree stated right before closing the phone. "I have an emergency. I have to go y'all something really urgent just came up."

"We understand. Handle yours Aub. We're in town all week."

"I'm sorry T." Aubree stated before kissing T.J. on the head and blowing a kiss to her grave.

Running to Khadijah's door, Aubree immediately rang the doorbell. Khadijah's house was surrounded by police offers. Even the SWAT team was there. The environment was chaotic.

"Open the door."Aubree stated after calling Khadijah's house phone back from her cellular phone. Suddenly the door opened and Amanda was standing there with police officers working their way around the house.

"What's wrong? I came as soon as I could. Where's Dij?" Aubree panicked.

There were a thousand emotions on Amanda's face, but the most recognizable ones, hurt and confusion.

"They...they... killed her. Dem kill'd me bloodclot cousin." Amanda sobbed in between pauses.

"What the fuck?!" Aubree yelled.

Immediately rage came to mind; rage, and revenge.

Tears coming down her eyes, "What happened? Aubree questioned.

"Me don't know. All me a know is dot she was bombed. Dem bombed her shop."

"Bombed? Somebody bombed Dij's shop?" A shocked Aubree questioned.

"Me dun't know." Amanda's panic intensifying, "Dij lef' early t'go by de shop before headin' to T.T.'s grave. I was here in the shower...getting ready to meet her, next t'ing me know de cops knocked at the door and all of this was out here. Me called you as soon as t'ey came. Me 'aven't even been able ta tay-ke it all in."

"What the fuck?!" A confused Aubree questioned, nearly pulling her hair out. "UGHHH! What the fuck is going on?! I can't do it. I can't bury another friend."

"What's going on sis?" Marco stated after entering the safe spot later that night. "How you holding up?"

"I don't know Marco." A confused Aubree stated.

It had been almost two days since Khadijah's brutal murder, and it seemed like Aubree hadn't done much thinking or feeling since. She had been so distraught that she pulled away from the world and lost all contact with everyone.
