JB's POV
I woke up to loud bangs on my front door. It was 6am. Who was at my door at this time? I didn't have energy for the mandem today. Guilt had overtaken my mind and I wasn't in the mood for any company at all. Thoughts of the fire were still circling my head, I couldn't get any sleep last night. The door kept banging so I finally got out my bed and opened the door quickly.

"Good to see you Mr Davis, we have reasonable grounds to search your property", I heard the two feds say to me. Just like that, my life has come crashing down in front of me. My gun. They're going to find my gun. I stepped aside and allowed them to go through. I've accepted my fate by now, I knew I was getting bagged today. I figured I should text Amirah and let her know that I wouldn't be coming to see her today. Nah I won't worry her. Instead I sent a text to the mandem to let them know.

I heard them raiding my room, the property I owned being thrown about. I knew what they were going to find. My money. My gun. Maybe even some drugs. I was going to get bagged today. Definitely.

Finally, they came rushing towards me, all I could hear ringing in my ears was "We are arresting you for possession of a firearm. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence". Fuck.

Amirah's POV
I woke up this morning feeling weird, something was wrong . Me and the girls had another sleepover last night whilst the boys went and did their retaliation. I knew everything went smoothly, I spoke to Jeremiah after they got home. I was hoping after this, everything will be done. J promised me, it's about us now. Speaking of him, I hadn't heard from him since I had woken up.

The girls were all downstairs, I could hear male voices too. I recognised ST's voice, maybe J would be down there too. As I approached the kitchen, I could see Armani with her head in her hands. I could only see ST and R1. I also noticed the silence when I came in. "What's going on", I asked. The boys looked at me with weird expressions, they looked remorseful. "JB got bagged this morning, it's looking bad I'll be real". I heard R1 say. I don't think I heard him correctly. In that moment, I felt my heart sink into my stomach. Bagged? Nah couldn't be. We have plans, so many plans and none of them include him going to jail. There's no way he wouldn't buss it.

I was so in my own world just staring in to space that I didn't realise everyone was now looking at me.
" What's he in there for", I asked the boys. They just stood and shrugged their shoulders. They were really beginning to really piss me off. Why wouldn't they just tell me? I'm not a little girl. I looked at them and they all seem to be avoiding eye contact with me. "Girls?", I questioned yet again I was met with silence.

I can't take standing here anymore. I needed to speak to Jeremiah and I needed to speak to him now. Like clockwork, the doorbell rang. I was hoping it would be him and this was all a prank. Armani got up to answer the door and I heard her squeal with excitement. I rushed towards the door but it wasn't him. It was LK. I really can't be around these people right now so I walked off to my room.

***********
The rest of the gang sat around the table as LK explained what JB was up against. "They searched his house, found a gun", he told the others. The girls gasped. Everyone knew what charges possession had. "Amirah is going to lose her mind", Armani exclaimed. She really felt for her sister in this moment, the love of her life was about to be taken from her for years. "He could buss it but it was a pistol so he's getting two years minimum and five years maximum", LK continued to explain. He was distraught himself but he had to keep it together in front of everyone. His right hand would be locked up for at least two years. He thought JB had been in the clear, he never thought he would be the one to get caught up. He suspected something about this whole thing was off and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

As they discussed how they were going to tell Amirah, they were clueless to the fact that she had heard everything. Locking herself in her room, she cried staring at all the pictures she and JB had. She hadn't expected this, she was too caught up in her dreams and fantasies that she never prepared herself. Now here she was, alone with a boyfriend going away for years.

The group were so wrapped up in the JB situation, they were oblivious to the fact the war wasn't over. There was one last Bermondsey member and he was out for revenge. Luckily for him, he had worked behind the scenes so the boys weren't aware of his existence. This simple fact would make his plans easy.

Unknown's POV
These guys think this shit is over? It will never be done until each and every one of them is dead. That wasteman is going away. It's just the other 3. They thought they could dead off the whole gang, they were sadly mistaken. I won't make myself known until I'm ready. They won't even know what hit them. I was ready for war.

They underestimated our team, there was so many more of us than they thought. They cost me many of my brothers. So much pain. It's only right I do the same. Starting off with their little girlfriends. I was gonna have so much fun with this shit. They would never expect it. I'll leave them for now, let them believe they're safe and when it's time, I'll creep in. They may have won the battle but I was determined to make sure we won the war.

You know how it goes, never peace with these lots. My poor JB🥺 Will he buss it?
Thank you for my 20k, feels like I just got 10k. You guys are the actual best so thank you❤️ -M
