When Avery woke up the next morning he found Bahja still wrapped in his arms. He smiled before he quickly erased it off his lips. Bahja squirmed in his arms before opening her eyes. She immediately got out of the bed before walking into the bathroom. Avery pushed him out of bed as well as he walked outside of his room. He yawned and looked around at everyone who sat quietly eating their food. Avery approached the kitchen counter and grabbed a plate before heading to the stove and scooping some eggs onto his plate.

When Reginae lifted her head and noticed Avery she immediately got off her stool. "Beez! I have something to show you!" She said enthusiastically.

Avery raised his eyebrow and stared at her. "Yeah?" He asked. He sounded tired as ever.

Reginae nodded and walked over to their TV with the DVD player under it. Reginae sighed and took a seat as he rubbed his forehead. "Beez, how is your cut?" Delano asked, gesturing to the bandage.

Beez shrugged. "It's okay," he said.

He lifted his head to stare at the screen. Everyone's eyes followed to the TV, and when Reginae pressed play a gasp escaped most of their lips. It was a video of Chresanto and Lourdes both on the ground being brutally attacked by people. They was yelling and crying out in pain. Reginae smirked and crossed her arms against her chest. "Isn't this just awesome? I hired some men to do this. I wanted to put a smile on your face, Beez," Reginae chimed as she looked at him. Beez's lips were pressed in a thin line as he stared at the screen intently. Nique & Khalil's face twisted with disgust as Delano watched on, emotionless. However, Zoey And Keke seemed to laugh along with Reginae.

Right then, Bahja walked out of Beez's bedroom, pulling her hair into a high ponytail. She heard them laugh and wondered why. Her eyes darted to the TV and immediately her mouth dropped. It was Chresanto and Lourdes. Her brother & sister was being tortured by people. Tears stung her eyes and she slowly approached the television. She began to sob before furiously ripping the DVD player out. Beez stood up and stared at Bahja. She broke down crying, bringing everyone's attention on her. Khalil felt sick seeing Bahja like that, the poor girl didn't deserve that.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Can't you see some people were getting entertainment out of that?" Reginae spat.

Bahja stood up and began to wipe her tears. "Entertainment?" She yelled in Nae's face. "That was entertainment for you? Are you sick bitch or what?" She questioned before looking at the rest of them. "You people are not human. How could you torture someone and find pleasure out of it? What makes Chresanto a horrible guy? Because he accidentally shot Noah? No. You guys use that as a pathetic excuse to kill people. I know my brother and he wouldn't intentionally hurt people. And what about Lourdes? She ain't even do shit to YALL motherfuckers. Fuck YALL know about family anyway? Aren't you guys all a bunch of abandoned kids?" She shouted.

Reginae grabbed Bahja's hair and immediately Bahja pushed her. "Ooooo shit round 2" Delano said moving away from the girls. They began to claw each other when Avery came behind Bahja and grabbed her away from . Bahja pounded her fists on his arm. "Let go of me!"

He placed her back on the ground and Bahja turned around to face him. Her cheeks were stained with tears and she sent a slap right across Beez's cheek. Everyone's mouth dropped in shock. Bahja immediately turned around and ran back into the room. Reginae gasped and walked towards Avery. "Are you-"

Beez cut her off by holding up his palm. He released his hand from his cheek and Reginae noticed the redness on his cheek. He walked out of the building just then.
___________________________Breaunna placed a hot pouch on Chresanto's bruise as he winced. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back. "When I get my hands on one of them and I mean any of them, I'm going to fucking rip their head off their shoulder," Prodigy spat.

Breaunna sighed and started to wipe the blood off Chresanto's lips. "God, they make me sick. How could they take him on knowing he wasn't around his gang?" Breaunna asked. She pursed her lips as she watched Princeton enter Lourdes bedroom.

"What the fuck happened to my girl?" Princeton yelled, staring at his girlfriend.

"Beez people attacked Chresanto when them was alone. There's way too much damage," Breaunna said softly.

Prodigy clenched his fists in balls before looking at Princeton. "I say we just go there and get them right now. I'm sick of all their shit. First they take Bahja and now they attack Chresanto and Lourdes!" He yelled.

Ray shook his head and placed a hand on Princeton's shoulder to tell him to relax. "That's not a good idea. Already there are more of them than us. We need to plan something better," Ray said.

Christian pushed Desiree's hands away from him. "I want all of you guys to just leave," he whispered. Desiree stared at him blankly and he met her gaze. "I mean it. Just leave. I'll look after myself and my sister," he said sharply. Desiree sighed and started to walk away as Ray, Prodigy, and Princeton stood there shocked. "Get the fuck out!" Chresanto yelled.

Ray shook his head in disbelief before walking out, Prodigy closely following behind. It was obvious Christian just needed time to collect his thoughts. He was affected by the fact Bahja was gone and now this. "I feel bad for him," Ray said as the two walked out of the house together.

Ray nodded and ran a hand through his hair. "You know the plan Chresanto told us? The one involving kidnapping Reginae?" He asked. Ray nodded. "Yeah, let's get on that ASAP." Prodigy smirked and patted Ray's back. Now this is what he wanted, some action.
