The Cover Up

~21~

*Teresa's P.O.V*
How dumb can this little boy be? Who ever sent him here should have known better. I don't really know why he came or who sent him, but I did expect some one to come. I know a lot of things, I may not be in the streets but I know how the streets work. Everyone uses the oldest trick in the book... kid-nap the family members. I hear the nurses talk here and there about what's going on in the streets right now.

Especially one nurse, I have a really bad feeling about her. I know I need to check in with my resources about her, but first I need to figure who she is. Something's up with this chick and I will find out what it is. My name wouldn't be Teresa Walker if I didn't. I know that someone had targeted me and I need to hurry before they target any one in my family. I already lost a baby to the streets but never again... And that's a promise.

"So, you don't want to know who sent me, who I am, why I'm even here, or what I came her to do?" He asked.

I know exactly why he's here, and I know that if they didn't come yesterday they would come today. I don't know who's targeting my family but I need to get to the bottom of it and I know just how to do it. Who could it be? I've went so long without any worries, troubles, or problems, but no one messes with the Walker family.... Nobody. I think it's time to call in my little secret. He think he's getting what he wants but will he?

"Nope, I don't really care. If you came here to kill me, you would have killed me when you had the chance. I don't care who you are because you finally got me out this sorry excuse of a place they call a hospital." She said getting up and opening the door.

*Travis's P.O.V*
We walked into the hall. I was scared as hell I could go to jail for kid-napping an old woman from the hospital. This did not go like I thought it would have at all. I thought she would put up a fight, I thought I would have to put her to sleep and some mo' stuff. But I guess not, she took all the fun out of it with her technical, and knowing everything and everyone shit. It felt like everyone we knew stopped us.

"You getting to leave like you said you would I see." A nurse walked by told her.

"Yes, I told you I was leaving today didn't I?"

"Yes, you did. Be careful with her, she's a handful." she told me.

"Oh trust me, I know now." I responded looking down trying not to be seen.

We laughed and continued our walk down the hall. We made it to the front desk and was stopped by another nurse that looked really familiar.

"Oh no Teresa, you're not discharged until another week."

"It's Mrs. Walker to you and don't you see me leaving now walk away little girl, I never liked you anyways." She said to the woman and walked out the door.

"You want to know something young man?"

"Sure." I said.

"You shouldn't be working for someone else, you seem like you're own boss."

I shook my head in agreeance listening to her.

"But in my opinion, you should be fired you blew your cover. I could have been lying about actually knowing all of those things about you and you didn't deny it or try to defend yourself. But don't worry, when I get done with you you'll be a expert. No one will be able to tell you anything, you'll be the next best under cover detective there is. I'm first of course."

"Oh no, I'll pass. I don't want to be a under cover anything."

"Well you don't seem like you should be in the thug life, you're too nice. You're like a wanna be thug." she said walking to my truck as I opened the back door for her and got into the back.

"Woah, why I can't just be a thug? Why I gotta be a wanna be?"

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. This life just isn't for you. You can't even kidnap some one the right way. I basically sat back and ran over you and that I feel bad about but I can help you out if you want. Don't think of it as you working for someone. Think of it as you helping a old woman out. You wont have to work for someone else who probably runs over you like a doormat and make you do what ever they tell you too. You can make your own choices when you're on my team."

"Who said I worked for someone."

"I'm no dummy. I see the way you keep looking at your phone, I'm guessing debating to tell your boss that you completed your mission and tell him where we're headed."

"Why I couldn't have worked for a woman? What makes you so sure it's a man I work for?"

"Oh please, if it was a woman you would have been called. Woman like to be in control and she would give you certain rules and you would have to do nothing but follow those certain rules or you would have been done," She said looking at me smiling.

"Oh yeah, you're good." I said putting the key in the ignition and finally backing out the hospital parking lot.

"Yeah. I thought you would have learned that back in the room but what's next?"

"The plan is to bring you in with your son and my boss takes care of you two...but that's not what's gonna' go down tonight. Well part of the plan will play out but then it would be my turn to pursue my plan."

As I was driving I look into the mirror to seen her finally quiet. What did I say wrong?

"Wow, you quiet. I don't b-"

"Did you say my son? I thought my son was dead."

"No, we have your son. He is a really good kid. I'm sorry that I even took him to begin with but I hope you understand. I had to do what was best for me and my family I know how it feels to lose loved ones and I would never want that to happen to anyone else so I help others out as much as I can. I fed him and took care of him as much as I could."

"So he's not dead?" she asked as her voice cracked.

"No, and I can get him and you out of all of this but I'm going to need you're help." I said pulling up to the warehouse and cutting the car off.

"How can I trust that you'll keep us safe? Why should I believe that my son is even here."

"Have I killed you yet? What if my mission was to just kill you and walk out the hospital without anyone knowing. And you Mrs. Walker have earned my respect, and I promise I wouldn't lie to you about your son being alive. I've been thinking and I'll help you out if you help me out."

"You young man have earned my respect as well now what could I help you with." she said giving me a warming smile.

"Please, call me Trav." I said holding out my hand.

"Nice to meet you Trav. You can call me Teresa."

"Nice to meet you Ms. Teresa." I said shaking her hand and began telling her the plan.

After about 30 minutes of sitting outside telling her the plan we started to put the plan into action.

"How does that sound?" I said smiling.

"Sounds great to me. What are we waiting on lets go." she said opening her door getting out.

"Let's go." I said as I grabbed my gun out the box and entered the warehouse.

"What the hell going on up in here." I said as I walked into the warehouse.
