do what I had to do. You were shot by someone dressed as a detective.” She said. “Oh so you go and what try to get yourself killed.”  Denise said. “Someone is trying to kill us. I wanted some answers. I know what I was doing.” Destiny said getting agitated. “You are so lucky I was shot I can’t slap you right now.” Denise said walking away from her. “Yeah cause getting shot was the reason.” Destiny said looking at Tay and Sammie.

“So I hate to interrupt this lovely conversation but I haven’t seen you in ages.” Mark said walking towards Denise. Hugging him she felt something. “Are you packing?” she asked. “Yeah.” He said. “Oh did I forget to tell you. This moron is an assistant in Grinderz.” Destiny said pushing him. “Did anyone tell you that you are a bully?” Mark said. “Besides you nope.” Destiny said smiling. “How about you start being nice to me since I am the one who get to report back to daddy.” Mark said. “Just tell me how you want to go back to Uncle James. In bruises or in the condition you are in.” Destiny said walking closer to him. Backing up he threw a white tissue up.

“Why don’t you sit on the couch and listen to this.” Destiny said throwing him her iPod. “What the hell.” He said looking at her. “Oh if you are 18 or older please raise your hand.” Looking around to see every hand up but his Destiny smiled. “I thought so. The adults are going to talk while the child sits on the couch and listen to the iPod.” Destiny said.

Walking near the table with the stack of money Destiny looked at Denise. “What the hell happened to you?” She asked looking at her intense. “There was a knock on the door and I thought it was you so I opened it. The guy you saw on the floor attacked me. He tried to kill me but thanks to you and the teachers you hired I picked up some things. When I ran to get my gun he shot me twice and then I shot him. I didn’t know he was a cop.” Denise said.

“He isn’t. The badge said 154 division and I went to the precinct and nobody named Carter worked there. He is working for someone but I know it isn’t Brianna.” Destiny said looking at the time. “Then who do you think it is.” Tay said. “I don’t know.” Destiny said. “Maybe it was the same people who ordered the hit and run.” Sammie pointed out. “The killer said my name I don’t think it was the same person. Since the drive by was for you.” Denise pointed out. Getting a phone call Destiny picked it up.

Dropping the phone she grabbed a gun and dashed out of the house. Following her Sammie pushed Mark to the corner. “What the hell?” he said. “Shut up stay in the corner.” Sammie said walking out of the house. Seeing three black hummers she looked at Destiny. “Desi who the hell is that.” She asked. “Uncle James.” She said lowering her gun. Walking to the car the door opened. Getting into the car she saw her uncle and her two cousins. “Wow please don’t tell me Chuck and Larry over here isn’t your bodyguards.” Destiny said looking at her cousins. “I see you didn’t lose your touch.”  He said smiling.

“Well what can I say you taught me well.” She said. “Not well enough.” He said. Looking at him she knew what he was going to say. “I know what I am doing.” She said. “Bringing guns to a police precinct isn’t smart.” He said. “Uncle someone shot Denise disguise as a detective. No one should know that she is alive but the people I told.” She said. “How is she?” he asked. “Very angry at me.” She responded. “She will get over it. I brought you some guys for the war.” He said. “Please don’t tell me it’s them.”  She said referring to her cousins.

Smiling at her he responded. “Allen is a hacker he can hack anything. Shelly is a fighter she can teach someone or something. I don’t want them in the line of fire so I brought you Janice and Skipper. Let’s just say that their father was a part of Delta.” He said. “Mark is here do you want him to go with you.” She asked hoping he says yes. “Nope he wants to spend time with you so let him. Don’t be mean to him.” He said opening the door. Getting out of the car was his children and the Delta guys.

“Listen you better have a good ass plan I don’t want my favorite niece dying.” He said. “Can you do me a favor.” She asked. “Anything.” He said. “Can you take Desire? I know you have top notch security so I know she will be safe.” She said. “Sure where is she at?” She looked at him and smiled. “Tyler’s.” Shaking his head he hugs her. “See he stuck around.” He said. “Like Aunt Jenna did.” She said smiling. “Yep be safe.” He said. Getting out of the car she went back to the safe house.

Filling in Sammie Tay and Denise on what was happening she looked at her cousins and the two other guests. Filling them in she wanted to see what they was all about. “You said that you can hack anything this is what Brianna’s Security looks like.” Destiny said giving the blue print of the security. “You two are some Delta force, well this is what we are up against.” She said giving them the names and faces of the people they needed to take out first. “And then it was you. You are a fighter, so am I. Your father and others taught me some techniques, so I am assuming he did the same to you.” She said smiling. “You get to fight me to see if you are really what I’m looking for.” Destiny said taking off her keys, phone, wallet, wrist bands, earrings and all of the other things.

Watching attentively the group bet money on who was going to win. Both dripping blood anyone of them could win. Shelly tries to finish her off with two left jabs and an uppercut until Destiny caught the uppercut and finished her off with one punch. “When she wakes up tell her that her job starts tomorrow.” She said going in the bathroom. Taking their money was Sammie and Tay smiling at Mark and Allen.

Uncle James was the leader of Grinderz. He is the brother of Destiny’s father. James is 34 years old. Her father is 38. Their mother had Destiny’s father when she was 16 years old and James when she was 20. He joined the clique when he was 15. He wanted to have money on his own so he thought the easiest way was to join. He became a leader at 18. He had his first child when he was 16.  James married his high school sweetheart Jenna when he was 22. Jenna is a couple of months younger than James. James is all about choices. He won’t tell you what to do, but he will give you guidance. His wife tries to be more like him but she doesn’t want her kids making the same mistakes they did.

Allen is their first born. He is 18 years old. He wanted to be just like his dad but quickly knew that it wasn’t going to happen. He father is an aggressor. He fought his way out of things. Allen is more of a technician. He use computers to get out of things. Shelly is their second born. She is 17 years old. She is a senior in high school. She is her father. She loves to fight and get into fights a lot in high school. She gets good grades and never had a problem getting what she wanted. Mark is the youngest. He is 16 years old. He is a junior in high school. Mark doesn’t really have anything special about him. He is the average high school guy. He is more like the sarcastic side of Destiny. He looks up to Destiny a lot even though he would never admit it.

At the office Destiny grab the equipment from the closet. Walking in the room was Tyrone. “Are you ready for this. Because you know you can go and take care of Desire while we do this.” He said helping her. “As much as I want to I can’t. Brianna is after me I can’t let anybody fight this battle alone.” She said zipping up the bag. “I just don’t want you to get hurt that’s all. Out of any of us you are the one that can have a future.” He said sitting on the chair. “Rone I am going to be fine. After this we are going to have a drink and laugh about this. Okay.” She said. “I hope you are right.” He said. “But if something goes wrong I just want to do this one more time.” He said hugging her.

Tyrone has always had feelings for Destiny, but Destiny always seen him like a brother. Putting his feelings aside they became friends. Destiny consider Tyrone as her brother since he has always had her back. Tyrone is the second person Destiny talked to when she moved from New York. He was her next door neighbor when she was living in her parents’ house. He was also one of the person she told when she found out about her mother. He even got detention with her when the geometry teacher wanted to mixed business with pleasure.

Walking out the door he stopped and looked at her. “What are you going to tell Tyler about your face.” He asked. “The truth.” She said. Watching him walk away she smiled. Looking at the time she grabbed the bag and exit the building.

Entering the house Destiny Called Tay’s name. Screaming back at her she waited. Running down the stairs was Tyler. Looking at her face he touch it. “What happened.” He asked as he examine her face. Slapping his hand off she answered him. “I was testing out someone for a job. You should see her face.” She said. “I would kiss you but I don’t want to hurt you.” He said. Kissing him Tay made a noise to let them know she was coming down the stairs. Laughing they continued to kiss.

“Come on the signal was for you two to stop kissing.” She said. “Yeah that’s exactly why we didn’t stop.” Tyler said smiling. “You guys are ridiculous.” Tay said. “What time are you going to be back?” He asked. “When we get done.” Tay said being smart. Laughing she handed Tay the keys so she can load her things in the car. Waiting until she left she kissed him. “Be back soon.” She said walking out of the door.

In the car driving to Sammie’s house Destiny tried to ignore Tay. “All I am saying is that you should consider buying me a car.” Looking at her she continued to ignore her. “Answer me.” Shaking her head she turned the music on. “So rude.” She said. “Why do you want a car.” Desi asked. “I am 19 years old with a license collecting dust.”  She said. “You get paid like 30 grand every month. That is like 360 grand a year. You can buy your own car.” She pointed out. “The car I want is almost a half of millions dollars.” She said. “What the hell do you need a half a millions dollar car for. I understand that math wasn’t your favorite subject but you still can afford it.” She said.

Honking her horn she waited for Sammie.  “How much did your car cost?” she asked. “Without customizations it was like 93 grand but now it is worth
