The Cover Up

~32~

*Teresa's P.O.V*
"What the hell going on in here?" I said to some man that was standing over my son with just his shirt and underwear on.

"Why the fuck you didn't call before you came back Travis." he said to Travis while grabbing his clothes and covering him self up.

I ran over to my baby. He had scratches and bruises all over him. He looked and smelled like he haven't showered in days.

"Bruh, what where you doing to him?" Travis asked him.

"Nothing I got blood on my clothes and had to take them off. Why isn't she tied up? Something?? You treating her more like a friend than someone you had to force to come with you or supposedly took." the man said.

"Ohh she was ready to get out of there she didn't care about where she went or how she got out she was just ready to leave." Travis said shrugging his shoulders.

My baby is here, like he is really right here in front of me. I thought he was dead for all of these years but he's here. Thank you Lord that he isn't dead. Is he? He looks pretty bad and is all beaten up. I checked his pulse and it was there but weak so we really need to hurry.

"I won't let him get away with this baby boy." I said to him as I kissed his cheek.

"That's enough, enough I said. You're not going to get away with this. You think you can just go around kidnapping and raping peoples children? No, I bet you won't ever do it again and that's a promise." I said narrowing my eyes at him

"What you gone do kill me? Really you really think you could kill someone like me and get away with it. They warned me about you but they never said you was crazy crazy." He said laughing

"Oh really? They must haven't warned you enough about me but I mean come on. How can anybody he scared of little ole me. I wouldn't kill a fly." I said with a sinister laugh and slight grin on my face.

No one said a word after that, just waiting to see what happens next.

"Why so quiet now son?" I asked him.

"Look Q just give her her son so we can leave." Travis said

"So it's Q? Well Q, I'm going to get my son but you'll pay for your actions." I said pulling a gun out of my purse then throwing my purse on the ground watching it slide to Travis.

"Woahhhh grandma. Just wait, you sure you want to do this? Really with my man right there, he's gonna tell everyone what happened and they'll make the rest of your lonely life miserable. Now you sure you want to pull the trigger?" Q said

"Then I suggest he leave then huh?"

"Naww I'll actually love to see his brains on the wall." Travis said

"What nigga?" Q said walking up a little.

"Uh uh unn. Where you think you going?" I said putting my hand on the trigger and squeezing it a little.

"You're not going to shoot me so cut the act. You and Trav. I know he wouldn't turn on me. We brothers, we family, we all we got, we all we need." Q said to the both of us

"Just like his father was, huh?"

Q gave me a look that let me know I finally got the guy I've been looking for wait til I go tell Tina I found him before she did.

"What you talking bout?" Travis asked me

"Tell him Q. Tell him what I'm talking about. I'm sure he would love to know. Wouldn't you Trav?" I turned around to see a tear escape his eye.

"What the fuck is she talking about Q?" Travis yelled to him.

"I had to do what I had to do to protect myself and my family. I couldn't let him take me out so I had to take him out." Q said

"You got your answers now Trav tell him the truth before I end his life." I said to Travis

"I only started working with you to see who killed my father. I've suspected Trent or even Bj but not you. I didn't expect you to be the one who killed him. How could you do this? You where the only family we had."

"Guess what else happened Travis? Your father had invested in a multi-million dollar business in the A right before he died and it was supposed to go to you when he left but just a day before he died it all went to Q here or should I say Damarquis Shelton Jr." I said putting a little more emphasis on Jr.

"Uncle Q was you father? You mean to tell me my own cousin killed my father? How come I didn't realize this? How could I be so stupid? You stupid son of a bitch." Travis said reaching down and grabbing the other gun out of my purse.

Q stopped and put his clothes on the ground then clapped his hands.

"Good show, honestly I loved it. You really gone believe her? You just met her, we been brothers since Day 1. How you just gone throw that away like that?" Q said.

Travis said nothing. He just looked at the both of us trying to figure out who to believe. Do I have to prove it some more?

"I've done my research on you young man and I'm pretty impressed. You was a millionaire before the age of 15, am I right? But let's get to how you managed to do it all. I know you found out who your father was when your mother died of Cancer, poor Debra."

"Keep my mama name out your mouth. This has nothing to do with her." Q said

"It has a lot to do with it doesn't it Trav? What do you think she'll have to say about what you've done to my son? Such a disappointment."

"Dirty-Debra was your mother? Eww I can't believe he got her pregnant. That can explain your looks." Travis laughed.

I could tell that Q was getting a little upset and that's just what I wanted.

"You found out who he was and how much he made. Got closer to him enough to get all his inheritance then killed him. Made it look like suicide right?" I asked him

"Fuck him! He knew he had a son but he didn't care about me or my mother." Q said

"Do you have kids?" I asked Q

"Yes, my fiance is pregnant with my first born. It's a boy she's 6 months pregnant."

"Okay even though he's not here yet you love him unconditionally and feel like you'll do anything for him and to keep him safe, right." I asked.

"Yes, I do. I love the both of them so much. I never had a father figure and that's all I wanted for my son is for me to be there." he said with tears in his eyes.

"Ok then. Trav go ahead." I told him as he shot him in the leg and he screamed out in pain.

"Travis get my son out of here while I finish him. I'll meet you outside in 5."

"Yes ma'am" Travis said wiping his face and grabbing Lavon and soon exiting the warehouse.

"Should I let you live to see your son or DIE to see your parents?" I asked him

"P-please I love....my..family." he responded

"Ok then. Say hello to your mother for me." I aimed the gun to his head.

"Noo-" was the last words he could get out before his life eneded.

BANG BANG BANG!!

I turned around and proceeded my way out the door without looking back. I got to the truck, opened the door and put my seat belt on.

"You okay?" I asked Travis

"Yeah, now that I know the truth. How did you know all of that? Did you trick me for some undercover stuff?"

"Yeah, sorry about that. Technically it wasn't tricking you because I never lied about anything but too bad he didn't live to take him in custody."

"You killed him?"

"I had to now lets go."

"Where to?" He asked me.

"First Aniyah house. Something itsnt right and I can feel it."

"Ok then, but I know someone who can check out your son afterwards."

"Okay I'll lead the way." I said as we backed out and left the warehouse.
