No Boundaries | A Michael Jackson FanFiction Series BOOK ONE | A.U

56.

Michael places Mason down in a basket that was filled with blankets. He pecks his forehead as a goodnight form before he walks out of the office that Danny once owned. He walks toward the group which contained Darren, Eric, Leon, Janet, and Katherine. "We have gotten a report that the remaining Jackson family members who have escaped the fire made it out on time and have arrived at Michigan City not that long ago. LaToya has been freaking out the entire ride there and she will be placed away from the others so she can heal from the trauma." Eric announces as Janet's eyes fell toward the ground. Katherine raises her fingers against her lips as she slowly had the urge to bite them due to her nerves.

"I should go back and see my children and grandchildren... they all need me right now." Katherine says softly as she was still shocked over the recent events. Michael walks toward his mother and places his hand onto her shoulder, her eyes shifts from his hand to his eyes.

"Go then, mother. They need the reassurance that everything is okay. Take Mason with you so he can be protected. Eric and Darren, please go with my mother." Michael announces as Eric and Darren looks at one another before looking at Michael.

"Michael... you can't do this alone without anyone. What if Leon is taken down before he even has the chance to protect you? You need more than just one person." Darren interrupts Michael. Michael glances at Darren and Eric before at his mother.

"We'll be okay, Michael. Those are your best friends and they want to protect you from being killed. Janet can come with me." Katherine says with a gentle smile as she glances over at Janet. Michael looks directly at Janet as she crosses her arms against her chest.

"I'm not going with you, Mother. Evanora is my best friend and best friends are always there for one another. If I were in her shoes, I know that she would do the same for me within a heartbeat. I'm sorry." Janet replies as she looks down at the ground. Katherine felt her throat immediately dry up as she smiles at Janet.

"Well... I guess it is decided. Michael..." Katherine says as she turns to face Michael as she grabs a hold of his hands. "You will be safe now. Promise me that, my boy." Katherine adds as she squeezes his hands. Her eyes began to flood with tears. Michael nods his head as he began to tear up as well.

"I will be, mother. I promise you that." Michael responds through his cracking voice. Katherine pulls him into a hug and places her hand against his curls. Michael's face buries into her shoulder as they both cry. Janet walks toward them along did Eric, Leon, and Darren to make a group hug around Katherine and Michael.

"You are all so strong and brave." Katherine cries as their hug disbanded. Michael, Darren, Eric, and Leon along with Janet all stood beside one another. "I remember when you boys were introduced to us when Michael first came back from London and started to meet the other families that have supported our family with donations and now here you all are... the young men that had been the greatest friends that can be to my son and my baby girl..." Katherine adds as she looks toward Janet and walks toward her. "I am extremely proud of you, Janet. You have broken through your father's stigma of how a woman should behave. Darren... please come forward and stand beside my daughter." Janet announces as Darren came beside Janet with his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, Katherine?" Darren asks.

"Marry my daughter." Katherine cries as she places their hands together before Janet pulls away.

"Gross, no." Janet replies quickly as she looks at Darren. "No offense, Darren but mother... I would rather marry whoever I please." Janet adds as Darren steps away from Janet and her mother while they both stare at one another. Katherine sighs heavily as she nods her head.

"Then marry whoever you please. Kids, please be safe out there and bring them both back once you've found the place." Katherine announces as Darren picks up his revolver and places it inside of his jacket. Janet places a pocketknife inside of her boot then grabs her pistol from the table before placing it in between her belt.

A loud banging hits the side door continuously. Michael raises his revolver into the air as they all swarm the door. Katherine and Janet both immediately run into Danny's old office after Katherine grabs her own weapon to protect both herself, Janet, and Mason. Darren and Leon both stand beside the opposite sides of the door as Michael and Eric stood beside each other with the guns pointed directly at the door.

"Who is it!" Michael demands angrily.

"I have a package for you from mister Al Capone himself." The voice from behind the door calls out.

"Then place that fucking thing on the ground and take two steps back." Michael yells back as his eyes darts to both Darren and Leon. "Open the door and swarm that fucker. I don't trust him" Michael whispers for the boys to hear him. They nod their heads before Leon grabs the door handle and swings it open as Eric step in front of Michael with his weapon raised as Darren rushes over to the man and tackles him to the ground. He places the entrance of his revolver against the man's temple and raises his head up by his hair.

"Who the fuck are you!" Darren demands as Eric leaves the building with Michael in between and Leon behind Michael. Michael picks up the package and opens it with his pocketknife inside there was an invitation.

Invitation to Michael Jackson

For the killings of Evanora Sanito and Marlon Jackson at 7 pm.

Come alone.

Address: 3843 - 3847 W Lake St

Michael glances up at the man in disgust before raising his weapon at him. "Is this some kind of a sick joke? Who the fuck do you think you are?"

The man doesn't answer but instead bangs his head roughly against the cement of the sidewalk several times before Darren places his head back down against the cement.

"Who are you?!" Michael shouts. Still, the man doesn't answer before Michael raises his revolver at the man before shooting the man directly at his head. Michael pulls the trigger, killing the man instantly.

The boys disbanded from their positions and quickly ran back into the warehouse with the invitation as they left the box and the dead man outside. Katherine and Janet walk out of the office with Mason in Janet's arms.

"What happened out there? Are you guys okay? We heard a shot being fired." Janet asks as she held Mason protectively in her arms.

"We're fine, Janet. I killed him. We have finally obtained their location. I guess we are going to Chicago, tonight. Get your shit ready right now, boys and Janet." Michael announces as they all cheered beside Katherine as Janet hands her Mason. Michael walks toward his mother and kisses her cheek. "Be safe, mother. Take one of the vehicles in the garage and head directly to Michigan City and please do not stop for any rests, head directly there." Michael says as Katherine brushes Michael's cheek.

"Be safe, my son. Come to us once you have saved them." Katherine says as Michael nods his head.

"I will, mother. Don't you worry about me."
