The Ties That Bind

Chapter 30

It was late and I had to act normal basically. A lot was on my mind because of Ava's kidnapping. I couldn't get her out of my head. I felt like it was my fault, hadn't I took her to court we wouldn't have been on our way there in the first place.
Tremaine and Charlie we're in their places. I sat on the couch with my snacks and food acting my norm.
Then there was a knock at the door. I went to open it.
"Long time no see. Somebody back from the dead. " I said walking back to the couch.
She walked in slowly and looked around. She wasn't going to find shit they we're hiding in the ceiling.
"Yeah, I needed a little vacation. I went to visit my parents but you knew that didn't you? " she asked sarcastically.
"No. I actually really didn't, when I told you to get the abortion you disappeared, I just thought you we're being a good girl and listened. " I laughed.
"Cut the shit Drew where is my daughter and did you kill my parents?! " she yelled.
"Um what daughter? I thought you had a abortion remember like we discussed. How the fuck would I know anything about a little brat. " I asked playing it off.
"You trying to play dumb huh? "She asked.
"No actually I'm not, I don't know shit about your kid, nor do I care, I've been looking after my wife and kid. " I stated, I mean that was the truth for the most part.
"Your kid? " she asked curiously
"Yep. I'm happy. I'm surprised you didn't know, you and Ava are best friends. "
"Nah I didn't know. You wanted her to keep her kid but not me. " she asked.
"She's my wife I actually want kids with my beautiful wife. " I said I knew me talking about Ava would get under her skin.
"Sure but you been fucking me for years, got me pregnant twice but I was worthy of what? " she asked all heart broken
"Uh a nut..... " I said in my duh voice.
She was mad as hell. Her body language told it all.
I got up to go in the kitchen. I offered her a drink. I put a mickey in it earlier, so hopefully she went with it. It'll make shit so much easier.
"You want a drink? " I offered . I poured hers from the left over bottle i had and handed it over to her. I cracked open another bottle and poured us both a glass.
We drank hers at the same time. Then i started to question her.
"So I have a kid or is she somebody else's? " I asked.
"I'm not saying shit, because i think you have her." She stated
"Lacy come the fuck on now! I haven't seen or talked to you in months and I didn't give a fuck too. You aren't important to me at all. So why would I give a fuck enough to hunt you down
Lacy, be real with yourself. You look a fucking mess for starters right now. Are you fucking obsessed what is wrong with you? " I asked playing my role. I needed to make a move and soon but I had to most definitely wait until the drug kicked in.
"It's because I been in love with you forever and all you can think and talk about is Ava! Ava this and Ava that! I'm so sick and tired of you and Ava.
It needs to be about someone else besides Ava ass and I'm tired of it! " she yelled. She held her head a bit. I take it she was feeling a little woozy from the affects. She got up to leave and I shot her in the back of both of her knees. She instantly fell over.
I hit the wall with the broom, signaling Charlie and Tre to come out.

It took them a minute but they came out and nodded for a good job. Charlie called in Junior and Mickey to swoop up Lacy. We had to get her out of here. Junior swooped her up and Mickey followed suit to the car.
"You need to call a cleaning company Drew to remove your carpet not clean but remove it. We don't want shit tracing back here." Tremaine said. He made a valid point, I would have to arrange it for now I'll put a big ass rug over it.
Tremaine helped me cover the blood up with the rug. Charlie washed the dishes with bleach to get any of Lacy's DNA off of it.
Tomorrow I'll have a cleaning crew come by. First thing bright and early.

*******
After we did the tiding up we could do we left.
We rode in the very back seat of the truck. We made sure we laid plastic down so her blood or anything wouldn't be on the seats. We had to put her in a hiding spot.
My pops had this underground tunnel he used to use back in the day when he ran from the feds. So I decided to use that it was sound proof too and no one would find her there.
I made junior drive us to that spot. We rode in silence for many reasons. We didn't want her to identify anyone's voices besides mines of course. And because we all heard the same shit.
We finally arrived to the spot and junior again carried her out. We opened the sewer drain door and headed in.
It was still set up the way I remembered it, it was abandoned for the most part but it'll most definitely do. I decided to call 3 more security men to stay here with her and keep her under strict supervision.

It took about a hour to get her settled in the way we wanted. She was tied up pretty good and nothing could get her ass out besides a miracle at this point. I had a guy patch up the wounds on the back of her legs to keep her from bleeding out. We wanted to save Lacy for Ava. Since Ava didn't have a chance to confront her yet so until we find Ava, she'll be held hostage.
She was unconscious for a while and when she started to come to, we decided to question her. I made Charlie and Tremaine stand out of her sight and stay silent.
It was time, the waiting game is over we needed answers.
I dumped a bucket of water on her and she instantly jolted up.
"Wakey wakey Lacy. " I said in mg kiddy voice.
"You bitch! " she spat. "What did you do to me?!" She screamed.
"No one will hear you Lace. And you don't be asking the questions I will alright. " I said as calmly as I could.
"Why are you after Ava?" I asked
"I'm not telling you shit. " she spat and spit in my face.
I slapped her and her mouth bled.
"One more time, why are you after Ava? " I asked again.
"She's always been the face of every fucking thing. She had the perfect life, perfect husband, perfect family, and didn't even bother to tell me she was my family. " Lacy said.
"She doesn't even know none of this and I'm just finding out myself. How did you know? " I lied and asked.
"Just know I know. "
"Bitch I ain't got all day to play games and frankly neither do you! So speak bitch! How did you know? "
Silence.
"Ok. Hey hand me those jumper cables over there would you. " I told junior. I had Mickey strip search Lacy and found her phone and a gun. I told him to run every number in it. I wanted to know everything.
"Now again. We'll start over, how do you know my father? And why did you have his number? " I asked with the cables in my hand.
"He came to me a year ago, while I was in the coffee shop waiting for Ava, must've been the day she met Tre. Told me he needed me to help you get away from Ava, and it was perfect to me because I wanted you. " she said panting.
So my father set this whole thing up I thought to myself. I'll be paying him a visit soon.
"What else? " I asked.
"I'm not telling you shit else! "
I shocked her with the cables. She screamed in pain after 5 seconds I released them. She started breathing heavily.
"Again what else should I know? " I calmly asked.
"He wants you to take over his business! And to get Ava out of the way even if it means killing her! And he's not the only one out for Ava. Giselle is too. " she stated. Tremaine got uncomfortable and started pacing. I looked over at him and he started pacing faster.
"How do you know her? "
"She was on my adoption list, when I supposed to have Taylor adopted. That was when I thought I had HIV. " she stated.
Why the hell would Giselle adopt another kid?
"So you don't have it? " I asked for my own curiosity.
"No, when I gave birth to Taylor giselle went missing, I had chose her to adopt her. I didn't hear from her . My midwife came in and told me I was clean and didn't have anything. She ran the database for the OB her name is Patricia Williams. It's Giselles mom. " she said.

Her mom? What the hell was going on?
"She faked diagnosed me with HIV and when they ran her name in the system she never popped up. I met with Giselle for brunch one day for the adoption and she told me she was Ava's sister and told me about Tre. She told me her mom was dead though. " she replied.
"So if she told you her mom was dead how did you know that was her mom? " I asked. Trying to piece everything together.
She sighed she didn't want to tell me but knew I would shock the shit out of her if she didn't.
"When I was about to be released from the hospital your father came to see me. "
"My father why? "
"Because Drew you aren't Taylor's father, your dad is. He told me making you believe you we're would stray you away from Ava. He told me who my adoptive parents we're. They are Karen and Pete Williams."
She said.
Now I was really lost. Karen and Pete are her parents? So she has the same mother and father that Ava has. This was some freaky shit. And my dad knew this all along.
"Im not about to get off into the parent thing back to Patricia. "
I was ready to be done with conversation i was tired as hell and I missed my daughter I missed Ava too and this was cutting into my time to find her.
"I went to confront Pete and when I got there, giselle and her mom was there , they had Pete and Karen tied up, Giselles mom is still married to Pete that's why her last name is Williams and that's why Giselles last name is Williams. So technically Ava's mom, well our mom is not actually legally married to Pete. I watched from my hiding spot I didn't want them to see me and Chase popped up and shot at this tall guy and Patricia shot PETE and Chase shot her. Giselle got away. That's all I know. " she said crying.
That was a lot of shit to take in.
Did my father know Giselle and Patricia if so how? Where was Giselle? I had a lot of unanswered questions and I needed answers.
