I was a bit confused, there was nothing in the locker. It was completely empty. I glance back at the boys, then back at the locker.

Hearing a few safeties being pulled, I pulled my pistol from my boot. Spinning around to see the boys in a stand off with three other guys. Five against three, how's that fair. Well it's fair for us. Wait five, how. There was six. Where's Ayle.

"Give us what you found in the locker" one of the man said, two other man appearing beside him. Well that's bull.

"An what part of you think we're that stupid, an in any case, it's empty" Jason sneer.

"An we're suppose to believe that" the same man says. Walking up, I stood beside Blaze, looking him in the eye. Looking up, then towards the men, he smirks.

"Go ahead" Blaze says calmly, giving them way to pass. We stood back, giving them space. The others look at us in shock, but stood back. They strode past us.

What am I missing!!!! This can't be empty!!!! It can't!!!! Reo knew....... Wait..... Reo knew.

Hearing a few rounds go off, I glance up at the men who were now lifeless on the ground, including the ones behind us.

"Let's, go" Blaze says, Turing to leave.

"Wait" I said, walking back to the locker.

"Val, it's empty come on" KB said, ignoring him, I reached inside the locker. Pounding on each side twice. The locker began to shake, the back of the locker opening up revealing a black and gold safe.

Looking back at the guys, astonished printed on their face.

"How'd you know" Jason ask. I smirk, turning back to the safe, but paused.

"How are we supposed to guess the code" Chad ask, now standing beside me. Breathing in and out, trying the combinations, five nine, four three. But nothing, the bar flashed red on each try.

"Maybe he left code in Mia's box" KB suggest.

Mia of course, that should of been obvious.

Fourteen twelve, I thought, typing in the numbers.

The bar flash green, the safe door opens, revealing a white envelope and a black treasure box. After taking them out, I closed the safe an locker door, we made our way out. Handing the key to the pastor and left

"Meet back at the warehouse" I told them before hooping in my car and drove off.

Pulling out my business phone, I dialed one of my trade partners daughter.

"kon ni chi wa" she answers calmly.

"Kon'nichiwa, junhangu, sono chīsana utahime, watashi wa 2-kakan de Kariforunia de anata o shittiest (hello, jun hung, its little Diva, I want you in California in two days)" I said.

"bisang satae(emergency)" she ask.

"ye, ulineun gabpan-e modeun son-i pil-yohabnida (yes and we need all hands on deck)" I replied, she hums in response.

"naneun geogieiss-eulgeoya.(I'll be there)" she says, ending the call. Arriving at the warehouse, the guys pulling up after.

       Exiting the car, heading to my office. Entering my office, I was greeted by small hands wrapping themselves around my legs, hearing a soft giggle, I smile. Glancing down at my little four year old.

        "Well, well, hello my dear" I chuckles, picking her up. Hooking her tiny legs around my waist, my arms snaking around her torso holding her up.

         "I missed you momma" she said, kissing my cheek.

           "I missed you too" I coo, pecking her cheeks and temples. Plopping down in my chair, putting her to face me, with her legs still around my torso.

        "So what's in the letter" Jason ask, entering the room with everyone else. I sigh, putting the treasure box down and opened the letter.

     Dear little D,
          If your reading this it means I'm either dead are in a coma. Hopefully it's the second one. First off, the case of my beloved daughter Floraline Mia Lockhart. I wrote in my will that if anything is to happen to me the custody of Mia should go to Valeria. Mia loves you like a mother and calls you her mother, an I know you love her the same. I know you and Blaze will love her and treat her like your own.

         Secondly, I found a few information on the Cartels. I don't know a lot, but I know that Mr Harper and Mr Lockhart is involved. There's a friend of mine you can talk to. His name is Bruce Watson, he's admitted in a hospital called Unity on the other side of town.

         But Valeria, you have to go alone, no one, not even Blaze should go with you. I trust that you heed my warning, it's for a good reason.

        Thirdly, Valeria, please do us all a favor and forgive him. He loves you and he's done nothing but think about you and regret ever leaving. He loves you and he always will. I remember when he begged me to help him pick out a ring for you. He picked, choose and refused. He wanted it to be perfect just for you. The treasure box is an attachment from me. It's for your wedding day.

          Don't open it till your wedding day. If under any circumstances you marry anyone other than Blaze, then you open it on the day of your wedding before you say "I do". You'll understand what to do from there.

         Lastly, I know everyone is mourning my lost, but think of it thus way, I'm always in your hearts, and I'm always watching over you. Madi, Valeria, Sia, Double A, Angel, you girls showed me more love than I'll ever need in a lifetime. Chad, Tad, KB, Marco, Blaze, y'all are and will always be my best buds, Jason I just meet you, but you seem cool. Just stay that way an don't let Val shoot you, or I will kick you out of heaven. I will always love you guys, and I'll never forget the way you guys made me feel.

                    With lots of love
               Reo Romeo Lockhart.
