all the way down and went to check on Sammie. Knocking on the door Sammie walked out. “So Miguel isn’t speaking. I guess when his body starts to quiver then he would get the message.” Tay said.

“Well my luck isn’t quite working on her.” Sammie told Tay the reason. “She isn’t talking to you because she doesn’t  like Spanish people. What the hell she rather dies than speak with you then let her die.” Tay said looking in the mirror. “Yo she could know something I just can’t kill her because she is discriminating on me. I will beat her ass, but you go in there and I take care of Miguel.” Agreeing Tay walked into the room. Giving her the famous look Tay knew exactly why she didn’t want Sammie interrogating her.

“How can you despise the Spanish culture when you are Spanish?” Tay asked. Smiling the girl spoke in Spanish. “It’s cool how you try to hide your roots from Sammie, but what you need to know is that I’m not an idiot, and bastard isn’t a strong enough word to describe me. Yeah I know you’re shock. I do know Spanish you dumbass. You should of stuck with Sammie she is nicer. I’m going to give you five minutes to tell me why you did it and then I’m going to give you two minutes to tell me what I want to know.” Tay said pulling up a chair next to her. Sitting down waiting for her to speak Tay looked at her watch.

“What makes you think that I would spill the beans on Brianna? She would not only kill me but she will kill my sister as well.” The girl said. “Ok so she has your sister and you did this because you want to save your sister.” Not believing a word she said she let her continue with her story. “I have an hour to tell her that you and the others have no idea on the plan.” She said. “Well you still can deliver that message because we don’t know what’s the plan.” Tay stated. “I know that but she doesn’t. You need to understand that my sister is only eleven years old and she is all I got. I have to make the call.”

Leaving the room Tay checked her story. “Turns out she is telling the truth.” Tyrone said. “Her mother filed a missing persons report out a year ago.” Tyrone added. “How is that possible if Marisol doesn’t have a mother. Her mother died four years ago.” Tay pointed out. “Look for her birth certificate and then call me when you have that.” Tay said walking back into the room. “So tell me what is Brianna’s plan.” Tay said ignoring the fact that she could be lying. “Like I said she is going to kill Desire and then she going to kill Destiny.” Marisol said.

Locking the door Tay walked towards her and unstrapped her from the chair. With her arms still strapped together Tay searched her pocket. Finding another phone and three credits cards Tay punched Marisol. Falling to the floor Marisol was knocked out. Walking out of the room Tay realized that someone was on the phone. “You think that you are really slick.” Tay said knowing the number. “Well what can I say I’m brilliant. Tell Destiny that her sister is very lovely when she sleeps.” Brianna said hanging up the phone.

Running towards the other room Tay knocks on the door. “What’s the problem now.” Sammie asked coming out of the room. “Brianna is at my house I need you to drop me off.” With no hesitation Sammie did what she asked.

Still driving around in silence Destiny’s phone rang. Picking up the phone Destiny couldn’t believe her ears. “Go to the house now!” Not asking any questions, Tyler obeyed.

Ten minutes passed and Tay was at her house. Seeing an unknown car parked she walked towards it. Pulling out her gun she checked to see if someone was in the car. Seeing nobody she went back to the house. Seeing her mother’s car she almost broke into tears. “My mother is inside.” Tay said to Sammie. Pulling up to the house Destiny got out of the car. “Where is she.” Destiny asked. “I don’t know but we think she is in the house.” Sammie said. Looking around she saw Tay sitting in the car.

Getting in the car Destiny saw tears come down her cheeks. “If Brianna is as crazy as she sounds then I just might lose my mom.” Tay said. Looking around she saw Teresa’s car parked. “Listen nothing is going to happen to her.” She said trying to sound reassuring. “You said you heard her voice how?” Destiny asked. Handing her the phone she looked at the call log. Hitting redial Destiny got out of the car. “So do you still want to play or do you give up.” Brianna said picking up the phone. “What do you want.” Destiny said walking towards her car.

“Well since you asked I want you to put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.” Brianna said. “That’s all and you will leave my sister alone.” She said opening the trunk and grabbing her bulletproof vest. “That’s all I’m asking for.” Brianna said. “Tell me why do you want me to kill myself so badly when you can do it so easily.” Destiny said reloading her gun. “Well because if I kill you I go to hell. You kill yourself you go to hell.” Brianna said. “Even if I do go to hell you know you are going with me. You kill my sister and you will go to hell even faster.” Destiny said giving Sammie a vest.

“We will see about that.” Brianna said hanging up the phone. Giving Sammie the direction she gave the signal. Opening the door Destiny rushed upstairs. Checking the bedrooms, she made her way to her room. Taking a deep breathe she opened her room. Checking everywhere she saw that Brianna wasn’t in there. Looking around Destiny saw that the vent was unscrewed. Opening it she saw the camcorder. Disconnecting it Destiny threw it against the wall. The sound woke up her sister. “What the hell Desi. What’s wrong?” Desire said. “Naw everything is cool. Where is Tiffany?” Destiny asked still looking around. “I don’t know I have been sleep for like the past four hours.” Desire said delirious. Walking out of the room tears feel from Destiny’s eyes.

Walking to Teresa’s room she opens it. Seeing she isn’t there Destiny called her. “Hello.” Teresa said picking up the phone. “Hey by any chance do you know where Tiff at?” Destiny asked. “No, but we switched cars so if my car is outside then she should be there.” Teresa said. “Does she know anyone other than you in this state.” Desi asked looking at Teresa’s car parked. “She has an old ex-boyfriend here but that’s all I know.” Teresa said. “Thanks I got to go, but you should call Tay.” Desi said. “Alright will do.” Teresa said as the conversation came to an end. Walking up the stairs Sammie confirmed that the rest of the house was cleared. Giving her the camcorder she told her to look over the footages.

Ten minutes passed and Tiff arrived at the house. Not saying a word Destiny punched her. “What the hell is wrong with you.” Destiny said as Tiff charged at her. Tackling Destiny to the floor she punched her over and over again. Blocking one of her punches, Destiny pushed her off of her. Getting up Tiff swings at Desi, but she blocks it and punches her. Falling on the ground Destiny got on top of her and started punching her.

Walking into the living room Sammie saw the fight. Trying to pull Destiny off of Tiff, Sammie called Tay’s name. Running down the stairs Tay helped Sammie break up the fight. Pushing Desi outside Tay stepped in front of her. “Calm down.” Tay said looking directly into her eyes. Seeing her pupils narrower she tried to calm her down. Walking down the stairs to see what the commotion was all about, Tyler saw blood everywhere. “What the hell.” He said looking at Tiff. Telling him what happened he went outside to have a little talk with Desi.

“What the hell is your problem?” He said as he continued. “I don’t care how scared or angry you are, but you don’t hit one of my peoples.” Tyler said. Walking away from him Desi tries to leave the situation alone. Grabbing her before she could get to her car Destiny shook him off. “Don’t fucking touch me. My sister could have died because she wasn’t doing her damn job, but I can see that you don’t give a shit it’s cool. My sister and I will be out of your hair.” Destiny said getting in her car and pulling off.

Walking in the house Tay saw the blood on the floor. “Are you ok?” Tay asked. “Does it look like I’m ok?” Tiff said with an attitude. Putting the pack of vegetables back on her jaw she continued to talk. “Your friend has issues.” Looking at Tiff like she was stupid she ignore her comment. 

Walking out of the house she grabbed Tyler and told him to calm down. “How can you tell me to calm down in this situation.” Tyler said pacing back and forth. “Just maybe because you need to go talk to her before she does something even stupider.” She said. “How about you talk to her I feel like if I talk to her right now I’m going to flip out.” Tyler said. Shaking her head she grabbed his key off of the ground and placed them in his hand.

“She knows I understand by my reaction can you say the same. Put yourself in her shoes. She could have lost her sister today because Tiff wasn’t doing her job. Knowing Destiny’s values Tiff got off easy just because of us. Look how she messed up Brianna when she dissed her family and look at Tiff when she literally opened the door for Brianna and her goons.” Tay said. Opening the door to his ride he got in. “Where is she?” Tyler asked. “Since you are so madly in love with her, you should know.” Tay said closing the door.

Driving all over the place Tyler had no idea where Destiny was. He look all over the places she had taken him and all of the places that was special to her. Looking at the time he tried calling her, but that was an epic fail. Thinking about where she could have gone, Tyler called his sister. “Tyler I am in a middle of something right now I can’t really talk.” Tay said speaking over the commotion in the background. “Wait I can’t find her I looked pretty much everywhere.” Tyler said looking at his phone checking if she was still on. “Well you didn’t look everywhere. She isn’t really that far away if you would just calm down and think maybe you will find her.” Tay said as the phone cut off. Hanging up the phone Tyler thought of where she could be.

Back at the house Tay tried to explain to her mother why the living room looked like hurricane Katrina. “Unbelievable I can’t go to work without this happening.” Looking at Tiff’s jaw she told her to put some more ice on it. “Mom relaxed Destiny and I will clean it up, I promise.” Tay said stepping over the broken glass on the floor. “Tay that vase cost me two hundred dollars. The damn carpet has blood on it. Blood on white carpet Tay when I come back this house better look like it was before, or I swear Tiff won’t be the only one hurting.” Teresa said walking out of her house.

Looking at Sammie then at Tiff she shook her head. “Great.
