The masked men stared at Toni as she slowly backed away. One of them raised a gun and she took off. A sharp sound filled the air before there was a hole in the wall next to her.
"AH!" She screamed as a she struggled to get up the stairs as fast as she could.
When she made it, she went straight into Niko's room. Closing the door, "Niko! Niko honey wake up. Please."
"I'm sleepy." He groaned in his sleep.
"I know but we've gotta get out of here okay?"
He opened his eyes seeing her in panic, "What's going on?"
"Shh, come on." She said helping him out of bed. Opening the door quietly she looked around surprisingly not seeing anyone, "Okay." She whispered. They stepped out and she saw one of them in the master bedroom. He turned around and she gasped, "Fuck! Come on." She said pulling Niko along. They ran into her room and she pushed the nightstand in fronted the door.
She opened the window and sighed knowing she wouldn't make it. Looking around she spotted the other door.
Grabbing Niko's hand, "Down here." She said heading for the wine cellar.

Sabrina greeted her mother with a hug as Kenny stood back looking around at all millionaires and billionaires in one room.
"Hi, thanks for coming." Sabrina's mother Andrea said smiling at her daughter.
"Of course mom, we wouldn't miss it." Sabrina said looping her arm in Kenny's.
Andrea looked at him, "Kenny, you look just as handsome as ever."
"Thank you Mrs. Lakes."
"Where's Niko?"
"Home with our...nanny." Sabrina said. Catching on, Andrea frowned.
Completely oblivious to what was happening, Kenny spoke up, "I'm going to go get some champagne." He said walking off. Sabrina followed him not wanting to hear her mother's mouth. Hearing her heels clack behind him, Kenny scoffed, "Why are you following me?" He asked in annoyance.
"We're suppose to act like a couple Kenny."
"But we're not. I'm here by force, remember? I'd rather be at home."
"Yeah laying under your precious Toni." She said making him look at her. She raised a brow, "You really thought I wouldn't find out?"
He shrugged. "Took you long enough. Since you know now, yes I'd rather be laying under her, on top of her, or in any position you can think of. Either way, I don't want to be here with you. So, let's get this over with and we can go home, you can sign the papers, and my family and I will be on our merry way." He said pouring himself some wine.
"If you think I'm going to let you take Niko and go start a new life with that slut you've got another thing coming." Sabrina snapped in a low voice.
"That's the only time you acknowledge him. When you use him for leverage. You never wanted him, you just want to control me."
"You're damn right. You begged for him, I told you I didn't want kids. If I had to ruin my life and have a child, I'm not going to let you go live yours with someone else."
Kenny shook his head, "You really are trash. I'd say I wish I never met you but then I wouldn't have Niko. I just wish I'd had him with Toni instead." He said pissing her off.
Sabrina folded her arms, "There are things you don't know about me. I can make things happen just like I did before."
"What's that suppose to mean?" He asked.
She said nothing as she walked away. He frowned before grabbing another glass of champagne.

Toni and Niko sat in the cellar. Niko was too weak to stand from his fever and Toni's ankle was throbbing from running. "Toni I'm scared." Niko said looking at her.
She grabbed his hand, "Me too. But we're going to get out of this alright?" She said before hearing a loud bang meaning the men got through the door, "Shit." She said as they stood up.
Niko looked around, "In there." He said pointing to a door. He ran over and opened the door to what looked like a walk-in pantry.
It wasn't until the door closed they realized, "Fuck it's the freezer." Toni said rubbing her arms. She picked up a piece of metal and stuck it through the handle so it couldn't be opened from the outside.
"I'm thirsty." Niko said sitting on the floor.
"Okay let's try to find you some water." Toni said looking around, there was nothing but alcohol. She saw a cooler in the back, "Maybe there's some in the cooler..." She said limping over. She opened the cooler, "OH MY-" slapping her hand over her own mouth, she closed it.
She was not prepared to see Brenda's body stuffed in the cooler with ice on top of her.
"What?" Niko asked.
She quickly turned to him, "Nothing, I just thought I saw a spider." She said limping over. She sat down next to him, "No water, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He said resting his head in her lap.
Feeling her phone in her back pocket she mentally rejoiced before taking it out and seeing it was on 5%. She wanted to call Kenny so bad.
"I need to call for help." She decided before dialing 911. Niko shivered as he listened. "Hi, I would like to report a burglary at 2989 Sycamore street. There's 3 masked men and my son and I are hiding in the basement." She said into the phone as she rubbed his head, "15 minutes? Are you serious?" She snapped before sighing, "Fine, just hurry."
Niko looked up at her, "We're going to die-"
"No, don't say that. We're gonna be fine. Okay?" She assured him. He nodded as she pulled him into a hug. She wasn't sure if she even believed that anymore.
