Chapter Fourteen: All For One, One For All

"Derrick!" My eyes grew wide as I stumbled to keep my balance. Grinning at me he walked over slowly I put my back against the wall. "I knew it was only a matter of time before I saw you again. And your all alone?" He looked around me and grinned even more." I don't want any trouble with you Derrick I really don't." It's not you who my concern lies with, its that damn Tay!" "Okay so ill tell her to back off she'll listen to me." I felt my chest beating quickly and I knew I was getting ready to have a panic attack. Trying to breathe in and out slowly I gained control of myself. He walked closer to be and now he was standing face to face to me. "Sorry, its nothing personal." He wrapped his thick hands around my neck and started squeezing tight. My eyes got wide and I bean clawing at his hands. He picked me up by my throat and swung me against the wall. I could feel myself getting weak but no this couldn't be it I couldn't be dying. Closing my eyes I began praying for Tay to just bust through the doors rescuing me. Slowly I kept trying to hit Derrick but his grip was to tight. Yelling through clenched teeth he said," This is all her fault. Always in someone's business couldn't stand competition and always trigger happy! Blame her! Why won't you just die?!" Finally I was able to breathe again. I collapsed to the ground hitting my head hard against the cold floor. Sitting up I heard a familiar voice, "Woah baby take it easy." It was Tay!

Leaping off the ground I jumped into her arms holding her tight. "How? How did you know I was here?" "Well for one you told me and when you didn't respond or read my text I got worried and rushed over here. I asked around and then his receptionist told me you were in here." "But how did you know it was Derrick?" "My mother looked into his finances and found out he owned the company you were working at and we put two and two together and I rushed right over." "Boy am I ever glad to see you baby." Rubbing my neck and head I turned around to see Derrick laid out on the ground. Tay pulled out her phone calling someone while looking at me. I just wanted to get as far away as I could from this man. It seemed like we had been waiting forever when 3 talk dark men came storming through the door picking Derrick's limp body off the ground carrying him out the office. "But arent people going to see him?" Walking out I was able to answer my own question. The entire office was empty not a person in sight besides the 3 men and Derrick. Getting onto the elevator Derrick started moaning when one of the men knocked him back out clean. When we got outside Tay made me get in the back of the truck with Derrick and two of the other men while one road up front. Taking off from the building I looked out the window with a spliting headache.

How dare he try to hurt my woman again?! I dont care what my father said this is personal and I'l see to it þat he gets dealt with! Thinking to myself driving along the freeway back to the warehouse. Before getting there I needed to get rid of Ana. I didnt want her around when all this played out. Stopping at Morgans house I turned and looked at Ana, "Im coming back I promise baby I just dont want anything to happen to you." She turned and looked at me with hurt eyes but nodded in agreement. I watched her get out the car and walk up to Morgans townhouse door where Morgan met her with warm eyes hugging her tightly. I took off again dialing my fathers mumber quickly. "Hello?" "Dad we've had a change of plans." Making a right passing my grams house I sped the truck up even more. "Change of plans? To what? Where are you?" "Im heading to the warehouse I have Derrick with me." "Dammit Tiyuana!" My father hung up the phone. Shaking my head i pulled up to the warehouse. Circling around like i always did I parked the car hopping out.

Once inside the building my hit men grabbed a chair putting Derrick in it. Strapping him down to the chair they plugged his ears and put a mouth restraint on him and a black cloth bag. Sitting at the big table in the center of the room i played with my phone while i waited for my dad to arrive. After waiting 5 minutes i heard cars pulling up circling the building and coming to a stop. Doors closed and i looked up at the entrance waiting. Moments later my father, mother and brothers all walked in scanning the building and saw Derrick sitting in the chair. Frowning my father spoke, "What the hell happened Camora?!" Shaking my head i sat back in the chair speaking, "Ana wasn't responding to my text so I remembered she said she was going by her job to see when she could start. On my way there mom called telling me that Ana basically worked for Derrick's company. When i got there he had his hands wrapped around her neck tight trying to kill her. Soo I knocked him out, the boys came and we all left. I dropped Ana off with Morgan and came here." "Well at least you sort of handled the situation. I don't want to sped the plans up because it was cause suspension so I'll let Debra know she doesn't have dinner with Derrick anymore. Morgan and Thomas will still take the girl out tomorrow night and bring her back here." Hearing another car pulled up I looked alarmed but my father just rose his hand. "if we are going to keep Derrick here he'll need to be under proper sedation until tomorrow. I have a doctor coming in to do just that." The doctor walked in with his head nodding to everyone giving my father a firm shake. We left the doctor to tend to Derrick as the family joined me at the table. "How is Ana holding up dear?" My mother said holding my hand. "I don't know. I haven't spoke to her since I dropped her off." "Okay well me and Thomas will run by there and check things out okay?" Looking up and my mother I smiled and nodded. "Good." turning to look at my brother she said,"Let's go Thomas."

Sitting on Morgan's living room floor i rubbed my temples watching my phone. "Girl stop worrying yourself. When everything's good she'll call you I'm sure of it." Morgan said fixing me a hot plate of her cooking. "Girl she dropped you off just in time though cause I just burned this kitchen okay!" Laughing at her I got off the floor and my head immediately started spinning. "Woah Ana take it easy. Are you okay?" "Mm it's just my head I hit it when Derrick let me go." "Damn girl come on you can eat on the couch I'll let you slide this time bitch." Laughing even more she helped me to the couch and brought me a tv dinner stand and my plate. "I don't understand if you don't want anyone eating in the living room why do you have dinner stands?" "Shut up and eat!" she laughed at me and plopped down next to me with her own plate grubbing. Looking at my plate I felt my stomach growling. She had made one of my favorite meals. Curry chicken with mixed veggies and cilantro rice. I was in HEAVEN. Apparently we were so wrapped up in eating we didn't even hear the doorbell until maybe the second or third time. "Damn who the fuck could that be?" Peeping through the peep hole she opened with a big grin. "Mrs. Jackson so nice to see you! Hey Thomas." I looked up watching them both walk into the home smiling. "Hello Morgan it's nice to see you to. Wish it was under better circumstances. For such a loud woman you have a very neat and quiet home, I like it. " Camora said looking around the townhouse. Sitting beside me she grabbed my hand holding it tight. "Ana sweetie are you okay?" "Yes I'm okay I think I might have a concussion but I'm okay." "A concussion why?" Thomas said jumping into our conversation. "Dang Thomas give Ana and mom some place plus I need to talk to you." She nudged him in the shoulder and they walked to the back of house giggling. "Mrs.Jackson--" "Call me Camora. " "Camora I'm so glad you came by to check on me. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." "Its not your fault sweetie. All is being fixed there's no need to worry. Now have you talked to your mother by any chance?" Shaking my head i replied,"No, I haven't talked to her I didn't want to worry her." "Trust your mother is a strong woman. You should give her a call she might be more worried that you didn't." Agreeing to her she sat back in the couch and took a deep breath. Hours had went by and we were all sitting at Morgan's house still up playing board games and charades. My mother had came over and joined me keeping me company as well. It felt so good having everyone around me taking care of me.

"Well sir he's now sedated. He should be sleeping all the way into the afternoon. " "And if he wakes before then?" I said looking at the doctor. "If he wakes before then the machine has been able to monitor his resting heart rate. So if he wakes the heart rate will rise and another dose will administer automatically sending him back to sleep. You want him to stay asleep until mid evening so I set a alarm to go off at 3 to administer a painful sedative through the blood stream that will heighten his heart rate-" "But won't that give him another sedative dose?" Terry asked butting in. "Yes, but that's what you want. You want so that when you awaken him mid evening his body will be literally unable to function. He will be in to much and to tired to fight anyone." The doctor took his glasses off cleaning them with his shirt and put them back on. "I have another client to attend to if any other questions or concerns you can reach my cell.". Watching him leave we all waited until he left to resume talking. "So Thomas and Morgan will still go out with the girl and bring her back here. By the time we get her here Derrick should be fully awake and racked with pain. The goal is to get Derrick to give up his organization and business in exchange for this girls life. If he starts to not give in Camora will bring in Derrick's mother to persuade him to give it up. My thoughts are if he really cares for his mother this girl and Debra, I can use all three of them to persuade him. If not I'll just kill the fucking bastard. Now it's getting late we all have a long day ahead of us today soo let's get some rest." My father said going up stairs where we keep bunks at when we needed needed a place to crash for the night. I stayed sitting at the table watching Derrick in the corner lying down on another table with cords and machines around him. I looked at him and grunted. Oh how I can't wait for tonight.
