The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

20

Kelsey's heart was beating a million beats per minute, her palms sweaty, and her stomach in knots she didn't know if she was making the right decision or not. All she knew was that she wanted her daughter back, and she didn't feel right just sitting in a hotel waiting for her to return..

She couldn't keep her eyes off of the GPS as Gianni drove down the back roads, they were deep into Miami and the closer they got to the destination the more nauseas she became..

Her nerves on edge, she sighed as she watched the warehouse appear in the distance ..

"This will all be over soon .." Gianni said as he reached over for her hand, gently squeezing it and placing a kiss in the palm of her hand he focused his attention back on the road as they drove in silence ..

The car barely came to a complete stop before Kelsey hopped out and took off running for the gate, but she was instantly stopped as two guys pointed their assault rifles at her ..

Stopping, she put her hands up .. and looked back at Gianni as he got out the car as well .. "I'm Kelsey Carter .. I'm just here for my daughter .." She yelled

The two guys looked at each other, hesitant to put their guns down but they did so and let her through ..

Running towards the first door she saw, she looked back to see Gianni following her .. As soon as she entered she looked around, but saw no one .. It was completely empty ..

"Sasha !!" She yelled

Her voice echoed throughout the tin walls but no one responded, "Sasha !!' She yelled again, this time she was following the distant sound of a television ..

The sound of the door she entered in, opened and closed indicating Gianni was right behind her .. But she didn't even turn around to see, the only person she was focused on at the moment was her daughter ..

The warehouse was huge, no furniture, no chairs, nothing, every sound she heard echoed throughout the building .. It was cold and muggy, making her cringe at the thought of her daughter being held captive inside of there ..

"Where is she ? Is she not here ? Where is everybody ?" Looking back at Gianni, she looked through every room carefully ..

"She here .." Gianni replied as he looked around also ..

Still following the sound of the television, Kelsey barged into the last room at the very end of the hall and her eyes lit up .. The first person she saw was her daughter .. She was on a bed, a little girls bed, it was made up and the room was decorated in pink.. The television she heard was sitting in the corner and her daughter laid on the bed sleeping ..

Grabbing her, she embraced her in a tight hug as she shook her to wake her up .. "Sasha, baby wake up .. it's time to go home .." She said as her daughter groggily opened her eyes ..

"Where's daddy ?" Sasha asked, her voice raspy ..

"You'll see him soon .." Kelsey said

"Let me speak to you in the hall Kels .." Gianni said as he smiled at Sasha

Nodding, Kelsey gave her daughter a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving out of the room and closing the door behind her ..

"Call him and tell him you got her and to wire the money .." He said

Sighing, Kelsey took out her phone .. She was ready to get everything over with and go home anyways.. Pressing Shamar's name she listened as the phone wrung once then his deep voice came through the phone ..

"What the fuck did I tell you ?" Shamar asked in an angry tone

Shaking her head, Kelsey rolled her eyes "I know Shamar, but I have her .. Send the money and they said we can go .." She replied
