Tyrell and Nate were hanging out at his place when he received a text from Tao. "Klaewkla." He got off his bed. Nate looked up his phone and stood up as well noticing the wild-eyed expression his friend had on. "We need to go to my mum's right now. Help me pack some stuff." Tyrell pulled out a large duffle bag and they both began packing it with necessities.
"I ordered an Uber. It's coming in 10 minutes." notified Nate.
"Good shit. Good shit. Can you call or text my sisters ?"
"Bet. You're not gonna call your father ?"
"He's never around. He doesn't care. I don't care either."
"What's going on ?"
"Tao texted me. Check." He opens the chat with Tao and hands his phone to Nate. "Shadow found out Shawn talked to Titi-"
"They talked ?"
"You didn't know ?"
"Shit. Talking to your ex while dating someone is crazy." Food, money, clothes and hygiene products were placed into the bag and nine minutes later the boys were inside the car on their way to Ms.Davis.
"That's not all." he continues. "He found out and Naveen ordered a few to teach him a lesson like they did with me- Thing is, it got out of hand. Kai ended up killing him. They blamed it on Tami."
"Fucking..." Nate mumbles under his breath.
"Now they're preparing to attack the crib."
"Ours ?" Tyrell nods. "Fuckk.."
They arrive at Tyrell's mom's house and rush to the door. "Tyrell, Nate, what are you two doing here ?" questions Mrs. Davis as she opens the door and sees them. The boys walk in and look around.
"Where are Sha and Tami ?" asks Tyrell.
"Out..." she responds.
"They aren't here ?" He looks down at the phone Nate was holding. "I thought you called them."
"I called and texted but they're not fucking answering me !"exclaims Nate.
"Watch your language Nate ! What is going on ?"
"We don't have time, ma. We need to go right now !"
"Tyrell Smith. I am not leaving to go anywhere" she emphasizes, " unless you tell me what is going on !"
"Mum please do what I say !We're all going to die if we stay here any longer ! They killed Quannell, they can kill us if they want ! Pack your stuff and let's go ! Please !"
"Tyler was right..." She covers her mouth with her palms before rushing into her room.
"You think she got the memo ?" asks Nate.
"Yeah, for sure." He scopes the scenery out. "Let's get the useful shits and get the fuck out of here."
"Bet."

We drove all the way to Kyle's grandmother's apartment. I had gotten the address to it in one of Tanisha's messages. From far you could see dark smoke in the air. We get out of the car, near the apartment and become immobilized. Looking around everyone was panicking. A large fire was burning down the place and Kyle's grandmother still hadn't made it out. Worse, flames were the only thing visible from her window. The firemen still hadn't arrived. Things were falling apart and people who were fortunate enough to get out, escaped in fear. They're running left and right yet I'm still not moving. I look to my left and Xavier is also not budging. His pupils are shaking and his grip on my hand tightens. Kyle's on the ground holding his head with his hands, eyes widened unable to grasp what happened. Tanisha is pacing back and forth, holding her phone to her ear. Her lips are moving yet I can't hear what's coming out of her mouth. I take another glance at Xavier. For some reason he resembles Izzy from the side. As I get lost analyzing his features, I notice a slight grin on his lips. I tilt my head. He turns his head towards me, his lips turning downwards. "We need to get out of here." I read from his lips, still unable to hear any sound around me. It's only when he drags me away from the burning place that motion goes back to normal and that sound comes back in my ears.
I always wondered if there was something behind everything we went through. If there was something in the middle of it all. Something that led the first domino to fall and trigger that chain of misfortune. There's no way all of this is purely coincidental.
"Tamika !" Tanisha rushes towards me. "Asad called, it's an emergency. The rox are at the crib, head over there." Nate and Aneesa pass us and get into the car. "Are you staying here Kyle ?"
"I...I can't. Diego is at the crib." He looks back at the burning place. The fire truck arrives at the scenery. I'm sorry grandma..." He rushes to the car.
"Mika, let's go." I hear my boyfriend's voice behind me. He's in the car, his head sticking out. I give Sha a head nod and make my way to the car. We drive off before she gets into hers.

On our way there, I get a call from Nate. He warns me about what's going to happen and that he's with mum and Ty. We arrive at the crib first but as we enter we notice that the gate is already wide open. I get out of the car and rush into the house. The living room was empty but when I walked through the hallway I noticed it was infested with those Rox snakes. They stare at me down and without getting a chance to react two people take me from behind and bring me to the other side of the house.
"We got her, Cap." said DJ. Asad is on the floor, held down by one of the members' feet. I look up and see that those feet belonged to Renee.
"Renee, what the fuck are you doing ?" She eyed me with no reaction. "Answer me ! How can you do us wrong like that !"
"You did it first." She finally spoke. Despite her poker face she looked dejected.
"What..." I mumble to myself
"You fucking murderer." exclaims Drea. She would kill people without thinking twice, I didn't understand why she would say that to me. I attempt to look around to find Keshawn.

Meanwhile, the second car comes around. Neesa, Sha and Kyle run inside the house. "I need to find Diego." declares Kyle to the others.
"Kyle ?" A figure lifts its head from behind a couch. "Oh thank gracious, you guys are here." sighs Jessie. She was carrying Diego in her arms as she got near them.
"What's happening here ?" asks Sha.
"Sha, the keys." says Kyle. Tanisha hands him and the keys, keeping her eyes on Jessie.
"They're here. They took Asad and before they could find me, I hid here with Diego." explains Jessie before giving Diego to his father.
"Shit." Sha dashes to the other side of the house. Jessie grabbed Aneesa's arm as she was about to follow behind Tanisha.
"If you go there, you'll die." she warns her.
"I can't leave my brother-"
"Aneesa !" she reinforces the grip on her arm. "You're going to die if they capture you !"
"He's my brother !" She draws back her arm and fixes Jessie.
"I'm leaving." interrupts Kyle. "I need to protect Diego." He walks out the house, carrying his son.
"Aneesa."
"No."
"I'll stay with him and we'll come find you. Just go, Aneesa. Kyle, wait for her !" Jessie and Aneesa make their way out the house, joining him. "Go. Get away from this city. We'll come find you. Leave now !" she orders. And so they leave. Aneesa, Kyle and Diego take a car and leave for another city.

"Where's Keshawn ?" I ask.
"How dare you say his name !" yells Drea while DJ makes me fall on my knees. "Give me a gun." A Rox throws her a gun and she brings it upon the middle of my eyes. "I'll fucking kill you." she swore.
"Renee, what happened to Quann ?" I repeat. She doesn't even look at me as she passes by me. In that instant, Asad is brought next to me. His hands were tied behind his back and he was on his knees. DJ was behind him, holding a gun to his head.
"Keshawn died, Titi." he whispered to me. "And, they think you killed him." My eyes rose up to Drea. Her angered eyes had tears in them.
Moments later, Renee's voice came back into my ear. "Guess who I found." She walks past us, grabbing Jessie by the arm. "A survivor." She places her beside me then brings her to her knees. "I should kill you the way you killed Alpha." she whispers in her ear before placing a gun behind her head.
"What are we waiting for?" grumbled Andrea. "We should just kill them right here right now."
"Be patient Drea." Advised Naveen. "You heard the Boss' orders."
"Let me at least kill her." She looks back at him. "She's the reason Shawn died in the first place-"
"I didn't kill him ! I swear-" she lands a kick on my abdomen and I fold.
"Keep your head up if you don't want me to shoot you-"
"Lay another foot on her and I'll shoot your captain." Tanisha's voice resonates from behind me. She holds up a gun in Naveen's direction.
"The Leader finally made her entrance !" kids Naveen. "How do you feel knowing you'll soon meet the hero who took down your brother."
"I'll pull the trigger."
"No you won't."
"Naveen." Kai pushes her towards the front and brings her to her knees. "Don't touch me." Naveen signals Kai to move away from her.
"What can I do for you my dear?"
"Quit your bullshit. You obviously want something from me. Tell me what I can do to save them and I'll help you out. " says Tanisha, holding a serene expression.
"Nothing-"
"Hold your mouth, Drea. To save your dear follower, you have two choices, hand over the gang to us and leave the city or die for them."
"What will happen to them if I leave the city?"
"It'll depend on how they behave." Shadow spoke. He made his way forth from behind wearing a mask and a large cloth. "Either they die or they become Rox. This all happened because of you, you know ? As a Leader you shouldn't have let anyone get too close to you. They'll do you wrong." He looks my way and pauses for a few seconds before turning his head back to Tanisha. "What is your decision?"
"Tamika ?" She looks at me. "The last thing Denzel told me was to take care of my sister. Cash handed the gang to me, I can't let it die."
"Stop wasting time." he says, placing a gun on her forehead.
"Tanisha, please choose wisely." Jessie begs.
"I'll kill you, Shadow." Barks Asad.
"You wouldn't." taunts Jax. "What's your choice Leader ?"
