»FlashBack«
Jaboree was 19 running the streets and being feared by everyone . He was no good to anyone . Not even himself .
"Slay , I promise you I'll have your money by next month ." Gerald begged as he looked up at Slay . Gerald was a 35 year old man with no life ahead of him . He was a crack fiend . A thieving one at that .
"*Chuckles* Next month ? I told you by tonight . Where's my shit ?" Slay asked .
"I don't have it ."
"Wrong answer ." He said as he pulled the trigger and watched as the man fell lifelsssly . It wasn't his first body but it was his most remembered one .

"They're gonna be staying down there for a while. We're gonna retrieve Slay in less than an hour." Kendrick explained to Wild over the phone.
Zi'aire and the rest of the family was in New Orleans already while Mike and Kendrick stayed behind with their workers.
"How's Zi'aire ?" Mike asked Wild.
"She hasn't said a word since they got here but I'll make sure her stay is stress free. From the looks of it - she could pop any day now." Wild said referring to the baby in her stomach.
"I'll send one of the guys to take the ladies to the spa . Just reassure her that we'll all be there soon with Jaboree ." Kendrick said before they ended the call.
"You ready to get this over with ?" Mike asked and Kendrick sighed and nodded as them and their men loaded into five separate trucks. They all said a group prayer before pulling off into the direction of Monty , Patrice and Jaboree .
When they arrived the first thing they noticed was the seclusion of the area. They all hopped out of their trucks surrounding the building to cover ground before they moved in.
It was extremely quiet , something felt off about everything . Kendrick looked at Mike and shook his head .
"We needa fall back ." Mike shook his head . He knew he should fall back . He felt it in his gut , but he wanted his baby brother back and he wanted him now.
Mike began to walk forward but Kendrick grabbed his arm . "Jaboree would want us to come get him , but he'd want us to protect ourselves too . He'd never forgive himself if something happened and I'd never forgive myself either ."
"That's my baby brother . I lost Nay , I can't lose Boree too ." Mike was eaten alive with guilt when Nay disappeared. He felt as the oldest it's his job to protect the younger ones.
"They're my siblings too , but we gotta be two steps ahead of Monty and Patrice or its over for all of us. We all have kids . We all have something to live for . We have to move smarter ." Kendrick explained . Mike sighed and ordered everyone to fall back. Getting to the trucks , they noticed they've been destroyed .
"Issa set up." Mike said before the house blew up .
Kendrick and Mike frantically ran back to the house searching for Jaboree within the fallen house .
"Wait ! Stop ! This is too easy ." Kendrick said making everyone stop. He stood up and looked around the area spotting a door in the ground 50 feet behind them. "Look !" He pointed as he ran towards it with the guys following close behind.
Shooting the lock off the door and opening it . They found an almost lifeless Jaboree tied up and beaten badly.
"Get 'em up and let's go . When we get down the road some we can call for some people to pick us up ."
