Caspian Pov

I throw the last molotov then pull out my gun. I saw Bo taking Etta to safety so now it's time to play. Edith brought her Corbinvenous clan members. It was only two of the members but they are doing some fucking damage. The molotov was a sweet touch.

The one named Dj brought a struggling Drew to me and pushed him down on his knees.

Drew says, " I like your new friends Caspian. They are so brutal."

"So do I Drew. so do I. Now tell me where the old man is and I won't torture you to death."

"The answer is in my pocket."

"Pull it out slow Drew. No funny business or this will be over soon for you."

What he pulls out makes my whole world turn red. Drew started laughing and laughing. Every door in my mind closed to any reason. I blacked out. When I came to Drew was on the ground bloody and unrecognizable. I shot him the face so many times. I have four guns at my feet which mean when mines ran out of bullets I snatched someone else's gun and shot Drew with those too.

I leaned down and snatched the panties up and put them in my pocket. I turned and shot his ass again. Bitch ass.

"Find that old fucker please. Keep looking, he's somewhere. All the exits are blocked off." I'm itching to find him and make him pay.

We hear a shout. I run that way. I see my dad trying to make a run into the next warehouse. He stops when Dj starts raining bullets by his feet.

He turns and holds his hands out in surrender. "Caspian, I'm your father."

"Why did you let me rot in jail, father. Every sacrifice I've made for you has ended badly for me. Did you forget about when I was dishonorably discharged. And what's worse. I didn't do any of it because of love. I did it because we're family and that supposed to mean something."

He opened his mouth to say something but I pulled the trigger. His body dropped to the ground. "Thank you all. I owe you." I turned and walked toward the back where the cars are. I see a figure on the ground crawling and another figure laying on the ground. "Bo?. God no, Bo." I went down on my knees and grabbed my best friend of 25 years and held him. I rock back and forth. My heart is hurting. It's beating fast with hurt and pain. The emotions are swamping me and grabbing my chest tight. Out of my peripheral I see Claire still on the ground crawling. It's not hard to deduce what happened here. That bitch shot my friend. I walked over to her.

"Why?" Is all I want to know.

"He jumped in the way Caspian. I was trying to kill that black bitch for us baby. So that we can be happy."

"That woman makes me happy and I love her. I would never be with someone so fucking selfish." When I raised my gun she screamed. One shot to the head and she's dead.

I picked Bo up and put him in the truck with me. I call Etta's phone and she doesn't pick up. I leave her a message. I handled business with Bo's body then went to her house. She wasn't there. A black man was there though.

"You must be Caspian. I see my mother strikes again. She's the one that got you out of jail then she went and found you. Seems I can't do anything to stop that old hag from interfering in mine or my daughter's life."

"Hey, that old hag loves Etta and has proved that time and time again. Whatever Etta wants, she gets it from that old hag. Where the hell have you been. You've been choosing your career over your daughter time and time again." I almost did a double take. I can't believe I'm defending that old hag. But after today she's earned my respect twice over. She will do anything for family and I can relate to that.

"Listen here you fucking wetback. I don't need your KKK ass coming in here and trying to run nothing. I will send your ass back to jail and this time I will make sure you get them 25 years the court was trying to give you."

"How did you know about that? I know damn well Etta didn't tell you. You're the one that was behind my charges. You were the important and powerful person that wanted to make sure they gave me 25 years to get me out of Etta's life."

I wanted to lose my temper and beat him into a bloody pulp. But I just walked off. I'm trying to work on my temper. Especially where Etta is concerned. I will suppress every molecule of fucking anger to get her back. My anger has always derived from the fact that I really didn't know where I stood with Etta. She told me one thing but her actions said another. That was probably my fault that she was too afraid to tell me.

But now I see that she loves me. She went through a lot of trouble to have me and to teach me a lesson. She turned into someone I didn't know and that also bothered me but not enough for me to stop loving her. She helped me get out of jail. She loves me. Now she's not answering my calls. I want to talk to her and make sure everything is ok. Especially since Drew had her panties in his pocket. What happened before I got there.

I would know if she would answer the fucking phone. I take a deep breath and try to control my anger. I will give her and her grandmother time to hang. Then I'm coming full force. I've been without her for too long. I also need to mourn my best friend and I do that best alone and with bourbon.
