Rise 🔥

Busted?

I woke up again to my babygirl crying. I felt like I couldnt move.
"Cookie? Hand her to me?". Nothing I felt around the bed and he wasnt here. I drug my pain ridden body up and changed cassie and fed her before grabbed my phone and called cook.
"Where the hell are you?! Cass woke up and I'm all alone!". I was whisper yelling not to wake cass.
"I'll be home soon babes, something came up". I remembered our conversation on his last run from earlier.
"Are you out on a run! After I just gave birth! You realize I'm bleeding and in pain and changing shitty diapers and shes attacking my nipples like a old women trying to eat a piece of corn!". Cook was quite for a moment.
"James cook you fucking answer me!". He let out a sigh.
"Fuck cali I'm sorry I have to do this. I didnt think she'd be up until I got back. I'm on way back cal. I wrapped cass up and put a hat on her careful not to wake her I hung up on cook and dragged myself to the lobby. He walked in and saw me and cass and new he was in trouble.
"Theres my girls!". I raised one eyebrow and narrowed my eyes.
"You wake her. I'm not responsible for my actions I might kill you in this lobby". He flinched and new he wasnt off the hook.
"Here I'll take her". He gently grabbed cass and rocked her slowly to keep her sleeping. We walked to the elevator and as soon as the door closed I started.
"Why did you have to do this.. I dont get it. You said one job. Is it worth it to go to jail?". He hesitated before he spoke.
"Its why I'm not in jail babes, why your not. I made a deal. The runs are random when I have to make them I will. The condition was I wont get found out if I dont get caught. You know I'm good darling". We got into the apartment and I grabbed cass from him and laid her next to me in her bassinet.
"You kept me and your daughter "safe". She wakes up, and needs a feeding. Thats all you cookie. I pumped". I was angry hurt and disappointed I got back up slowly.. "You left so quick. God forbid she stops breathing I cant move fast enough to help!". He nodded and realized how serious the situation is.
"I'm sorry dollface. I really didnt think she'd wake up".
"Shes a baby cook she poops, eats, cries and repeats!". Cook came over and hugged me lightly trying not to hurt me.
"I know. I'm sorry babes I'll make it up to you". I went to grab some orange juice and moved the bassinet into the living room. I laid slowly down..
"How long do we have to hide cookie?". He shook his head and avoided my question.. just as I got babygirl in my arms and comfortable. Someone was pounding on the door..
"LAPD OPEN UP NOW!". My blood ran cold... cook and me stared at eachother lost.. scared.. I sat the baby down and the pounding continued while I walked slowly to the door.. I looked as best I could into the peep hole and almost lost it.. I swung the door open and punched as hard as I could
"Noah you asshole!!!! I could kill you for that!". He threw his hands up in defense and bex let go of his mouth.
"If I had another free hand I would've shut him up myself. I told you that wouldn't be funny!". Cook took the basket bex had and she smacked Noah on the head for me.
"I just had a baby and you think cip jokes are the way to go? I swear I don't get why bex puts up with you". He smiled and went passed me to see cass.
"Thanks for the baby basket. I know you put it together". Bex hugged me soft and smirked pulling a 6 pack of guineas out of her purse.
"You pumped for the night?". I nodded and she handed me a cold beer.
"Dark beer helps your milk come in".
"You talked to my mom I see".
"Had to see what you could drink". She lowered her voice and whispered to me.
"20$ for oxy if you got anything harder we can push it for 50". I nodded and looked at cass in noahs arms so fragile. So delicate..
"Im taking my meds bex. Were not risking her safety. I'm out. Cooks out. When we can were out of here to". She looked confused and hurt.. before she could say anything there was another pounding on the door. Cook stood up.
"Oy l! Who is it?" The pounding got louder... bex shot me a worried look.. I grabbed cass from Noah and headed for the hidden stair access on our balcony.. a closet behind the false wall was a direct route to the stairs out the back alley.. I put cass in her carrier and headed for the exit before cook yelled for me. When I turned around I was face to face with effy smirking.. I grabbed her and held her for a long moment like this wasn't real.
"Alright, alright! Where's my niece?". I smiled and cookie kissed her head before handing her to me.
"Effs, meet cassie, this is your Sneaky auntie little bean". I leaned over close enough for effy to kiss her head before she tried to grab her from me.
"Can't I hold her?". I took cass put of the room and laid her in the crib.
"Not until you tell me why your really here effs. Fred died amd you disappeared and now what? What trouble are you in to add to this already fucked up situation?". She looked at me defeated..
"Stock market fraud. Cook said it would be-". I shot a death glare at Cook. And effy stopped talking as I charged towards cook.
"You fucking piece of shit! To protect us to keep us safe!!! Fuck you james cook! And fuck you Effy!". I slammed the bedroom door and gathered mine and baby Cassie stuff. Enough to last us till I can have my mom move the rest out.
"Cammi stop please don't take her! Cam!". I set casie down and pushed cook to tall with my forearm
"Dont contact me for anything as far as she is concerned you both are dead to us got it!". Effy tried to approach me but I threw my pocket knife at her face making her fall to the floor.
"I mean it. She'll never know this life. I'm done. And I'm taking my baby girl with me. Enjoy your life with effy. I should've listened to fred when I had the chance". Before I could change mind I grabbed the stroller and placed cass in rushing out. I had enough cash in my purse to keep us safe for a few days... as I reached the lobby I had no choice but to pay the door man to keep cook locked in.. I hated a cab and rushed Cass in securely as I panicked closing the door... cook looked so devastated.. I remembered our life. Our love. But when I looked at our baby girl I closed the door and wiped the tears away..
"LAX please". I stared at Cooks face as he pounded on the glass... as soon as the cab left he was running after us.. it broke me but I needed to go...
"One infant one adult first class Staten Island New Jersey. Bed for my babe". I handed the tickter my credit card and nervously bit my nails. Luckily it cleared.. there's a friend or two who swore to keep us safe.. as we borded and as the plane took off. Everything was changing happening I closed the shade... Even now I just want cook..
