Play Your Cardz Right by Sydia Smith (reading like a writer TXT) 📖

Now at the house Tay recognizes Tiff and greeted her.  They were never close for Tay to be happy to see her. Sitting in quietness Destiny went to go check on her sister. Walking up the stairs she saw Tyler peeking in her room. “Find what you are looking for.” Destiny said. “Yep I’m looking at her right now.”  Looking at him she couldn’t stay mad at him. “So you talking to me now.” Tyler stated. “Yeah I can’t stay mad at you.” Standing next to him she wrapped her arms around his waist. Getting closer and closer they began to kiss.

Opening her door Teresa caught them in the act. “So is this what you guys do when I am not here.” Teresa said smiling. Quickly pulling away from him Destiny felt weird. “Mom where did you come from.” Tyler said feeling awkward. “Yea I feel the awkwardness to. Cut it out with the kissing all over the house.” Teresa said walking away from them. “Oh and Tyler next time I find Desi in your bed I will make sure I won’t be a grandmother until Tay have children.” She added walking down the steps. Looking at Tyler she pointed at her. “See I told you that it was an bad idea.” Desi said walking into the room.

Three days past and Desi waited patiently for this moment. Sitting in her office she sat there until it was time to call the meeting. As time moved slowly Desi became more anxious.  Walking in her office Sammie saw the anxiety in her eyes. “You know to past time you could look through the stack of papers on your desk.” “I thought of that as well. So I did and I couldn’t concentrate.” Shaking her head Sammie sat in the chair. “So maybe this will grab you attention. The word on the street says that Brianna moved to like step four on her plan.” Not knowing what step four was exactly she sat there thinking. “What exactly is step four she haven’t completed step one yet.” Destiny said. “Something doesn’t add up.” Tay said walking into the room.

“What are you talking about?” Sammie questioned Tay. “My contact told me that Brianna put more guys on the hit to your sister like a week ago. Now she took them off the job. Now the word buzzing in the streets is that she is moving to step four. It’s not adding up. Brianna is determined to destroy you by going through your family so why is she moving on to step four.” Tay questioned Brianna’s motives.

“That’s not Brianna at all. She always finishes what she started. That’s a known fact. She planning something and how the streets are reacting to it means that it is coming fast.” Sammie said reaching for her phone. “Thirty years ago there was a clique called The Hitters. Now the Hitters were the most notorious clique out there. They sold drugs all over the world and they killed people faster than mothers gave birth. They were vicious. They had a young leader named Carlos Panima. Panima was brutally beaten to death and was placed in a coma. Three years later he recovered and was very vengeful. He went after the clique who done this to him, but he save the person who did the beaten for last. See the problem was that even though the clique knew that he was gunning for them, Carlos changed his planned and falsely told people what he was going to do. Just to keep the clique on their feet. At the end of all the suspense the person who did the beaten on Carlos committed suicide and that made Carlos happy.

Brianna had a lot of opportunities to kill my sister my parents and all of you including myself. So why didn’t she do it. She doesn’t want to kill me, she wants me to commit suicide and that’s why she is going after my love ones. She knows that my friends and family always came first so killing off them would make me vulnerable. She isn’t changing her plan she going after my sister herself.” Destiny said. Looking at her Tay and Sammie, they were speechless.

“If this is true, if she is following this kid Carlos’ plan then what does that means.” Sammie asked. “I don’t know. I know that this is going to end badly. Brianna is playing a game and have a strategy of the most vicious mind ever if she knows we are on to her she will target someone else I can’t risk that.” Looking into her eyes Tay saw something that nearly made her teary eyed; defeat. Walking out of the room she called her brother.

“Yo Tay make it quick I’m kinda busy.” Tyler said picking up the phone. “I don’t know exactly what to do in this situation. Desi discovered something about the case and now she is talking crazy.” Tay said. “How crazy is she talking?” Tyler asked sounding concerned. “I think she is considering taking her life.” Tay voice cracks. “What! Why would she be thinking that what happened.” Tyler said worried. “I can’t discuss this over the phone I’ll see you at home.” Tay said thinking.

As the conversation came to an end Tay went into her office. Opening her phone she took the SIM card out of it. Putting it back on she ran to Desi‘s office. “Let me see your phone.” Handing her phone to Tay Desi wanted answers.

“We have the same phone and I was thinking that if I wanted to kill someone I needed to know where they would be at all times right.” Agreeing Tay went on. “How did Brianna know where your sister was going to be without staking her out. Brianna knows we are tagging people but the messed up part is we are tagging the wrong people. Why would Kelly give that information out? We didn’t ask her about who was a part of Brianna’s plan we asked her what she was up to.” Walking into Desi office Tyrone told them that the operatives were here. “Send them in” Desi said grabbing her gun. Closing the door he went back out. “Desi they are the snitch.” Tay said pulling the bug out of the phone.

Walking into her office the operatives took a seat. “Before I asked this question I just want to see your cellphones.” Desi said. Giving her their cellphones Desi continued talking. “Loyalty is what a clique is all about. Betrayal is how people get killed. How long were all of you working for Brianna? Are you going to give the same excuse Trish gave me or are you going to man up and take a kill? You just committed suicide. I hope it was worth it. You think Brianna is crazy, you haven’t seen anything yet.” Destiny said pushing her button. “Do you know what happens to deleted messages?” Destiny asked getting up and walking towards them. “They don’t really get deleted. Maybe from your eyesight but not from the SIM card, so what will I find when I look through the deleted messages.” Sitting on the edge of her desk she reached for her gun.

Opening the door Sammie and Tyrone came in with their guns in their hands. “Did you really think I am that dumb and blind? Take them away.” Desi said. Sitting back in her chair Destiny put her head down in defeat. “What the hell am I’m going to do now?” Desi said looking up. “Well you are going to drop the gun and come with me.” Tyler said reaching out for her hand.

In Tyler’s car Desi sat in silence. Pulling over Tyler saw the exact thing in her eyes that Tay saw. “Can I ask you one simple question.” Tyler said putting his car in park. Looking at him Desi waited for him to ask her. “Why do you let her get under your skin?” Tyler asked. “What type of question is that.” Destiny said agitated. “It’s a simple one. I mean, why does she piss you off so much other than the fact that she put the hit on your sister.” Turning to Tyler Desi looked into his eyes. “She knows exactly what she is doing and it pisses me off because she knew what she did for this whole thing to even happen.”

“So you are talking about the incident.” Tyler asked. “Yeah what else would it be about?” Desi said getting annoyed. “If she would have kept her mouth shut she would have never had to get her jaw reconstructed. She started this and she need to leave my family alone.” Still looking into his eyes Tyler saw the pain in her face. “The way you are feeling now, is probably the way she felt when you put her in that hospital. Just maybe she wants you to feel what she felt back then.” Tyler pointed out.

“Even if you are right, she still doesn’t have a reason to do this. I didn’t break her jaw intentionally, it just happened. She intentionally attempted to kill my sister.” Destiny said. “Well how does she know that, you threw the first punch and continued to punch her. I mean you pounded her face in.” Turning her head she sighed. “Why are you doing this?” Destiny asked. “I see something in your eyes that scares me. You know what I am talking about. The thing that you are considering isn’t just wrong it isn’t fair to the people who love you. You can be agitated and annoyed at me, but just know that I won’t let you do it.” Tyler said driving off.

Sighing Destiny looked at Tyler. Seeing him like this wasn’t a part of her plan at all. “If it came to the point for me to take action of what I am considering you need to understand that everybody will be safe. Kill one save a thousand.” Destiny said looking out the window. “Really that’s how you feel. If you take your life then everything is going to be peaceful. How can you even think that when you have Tay, your sister and everybody else who love you living in this world helping you out. Especially me you know I would take a bullet for you. If you even try to commit suicide just do something for me. Think about all of the people who loves you and how this will affect them in the long run.” Tyler said. Driving in silence Destiny sat there and started thinking.

Back in the office Tay and Sammie tried to get some answer out of the operatives. Strapped into a chair Tay stared at Miguel. “Tell me why your loyalty shifted. I mean you don’t like Brianna. You never did. Ever since the eleventh grade you would always tell me how much you despise this chick, but now look at you. Helping her kill Desire, being the snitch that you are, I mean where’s the logic in that.” Tay said leaning on the door. Not saying a word to her Miguel sat in silence. “Ok you asked for this.” Leaving the room she turned the heat
