'Are you going to call the damn person or should I do you the favor of doing that myself?" Brielle asked and Venita rolled her eyes at her, then she shook her head in disagreement.
'I would do it by myself, there is no need for you to interfere in it," She replied.
'I am as involved as deep as I can be already. We have both been looking for a source to fish the person out. I am sure that they must think that I am your new partner now. The more I look at this, the more it seems like it is Felix behind it and I would like nothing more than to go up to him and yank him by the collar. I need to know why on earth he killed my mother – our mother," Brielle snapped. 'He shouldn't be such a lousy son because of some damn property."
'Not everyone is as nonchalant about this bundle of money like you are, some would gladly kill for it."
'How on earth did you even get yourself involved with the person?"
'It is because of that damn Arielle." Venita gritted, she clenched her jaws in irritation. 'I was to get the drugs that Oliver would inject Sapphire from her and I told her to put it under the seat of the car but the idiot went ahead and put it in my bag, unfortunately for me, I met that darn detective that seemed to be after my case on the way and he insisted to check my bag. He had been on my case ever since that scandal that happened a year before that I was involved in drug abuse, which I wasn't involved in, not in the least.
I drink a lot but Arielle is the one that uses drugs. Long story short, the person was the one that came to my rescue. They sent some people to distract the detective while I drove away, then they contacted me later. I discovered after I have been involved with them that they are not a good person to work with and if they had hard evidence against me, they would reveal it to the world and I would be doomed. They would make sure that I rot in prison and I believe them because I know what they are capable of." Venita explained and Brielle sucked her teeth in disbelief.
'That seems like something Felix would do, playing hero for a while is just like his style," Brielle said. 'Enough chat. Call him now."
'Alright. I am doing that already." She grumbled.
'You have finally decided to talk to me. It must be important since you called me first," An automated voice said over the phone and Brielle scoffed quietly, of course they would not use their real voice.
'You have such confidence but I think that you have been sitting by the phone and waiting for my call, judging by how you hardly let it ring before picking it up."
'You are right about that. I have been waiting for your call because I have such an important thing you need to do for me."
'What makes you think that I would go ahead and do that? Obviously, it has a lot to do with your dirty business, send some of your men."
'I would have done that if I could. Unfortunately, it is Rusell that we have to deal with now. He wouldn't hand over the money to anybody other than you, you know how obsessed the asshole is over you."
'That's none of my concern," Venita replied.
'You know what? Let us meet. There are some things that we have to talk about while facing each other." The voice said and both Brielle and Venita turned to look at each other with eyes wide in surprise.
'What? Why on earth would I want to meet you?" She glanced at Brielle who nodded in approval.
'That would give you some sort of assurance. I know why you are doing this, it is because I have not fully given you a position as a member of the gang, and you think that I would really abandon you. I won't abandon my girls."
'I am not one of your girls," Venita said with pursed lips.
'Yes, you are. We have been together for the past three years, you have become one of mine, let us meet later. I would send you the address, be there by three thirty tomorrow, don't come with that Aunt of yours that had been tagging around you these days, I want to meet you alone. Don't disappoint me, Venita." The voice said and with that the call was disconnected.
'That's practically the first time they said my name since we started having a relationship together." She said,
'What is the plan now?" Brielle asked.
'Obviously, you are not going to follow me, I would go alone. They would place the whole place under strict scrutiny, they would shoot you in the head first and listen to whatever you have to say after that." Venita said and Brielle thought about it for a bit.
'Alright. I would not follow you straight up. When we check the address, we would go to the place and look for somewhere I can hide, I would provide back for you against them in case they try to do something funny, I don't trust the fact that they are suddenly offering you membership because you told them to fuck off. It is very likely that it is a trap so we have to keep our eyes wide open as we step into it." Brielle said and Venita nodded.
'Now, that sounds like a pretty good plan." Venita said and her phone rang, they both looked at it. 'The address has been sent."

Andrew was out of the car as soon as the car was parked, he slammed the door behind him and raced towards the door, his eyes hopeful and bright.
He yanked open the door which was not closed and screamed for his mom as soon as he was inside the house.
'Mom!" He yelled and ran into Sapphire's open arm, the woman had been waiting anxiously for him as soon as Tiara contacted her that they had been able to save Andrew from Heather.
'Baby," Sapphire said, she buried her head in the kid's hair and wrapped her arms tightly around him. 'Are you okay? Did Heather do anything bad to you?" She frantically checked his body for any injury.
'No, she didn't do anything. Amy refused to leave my side when she discovered that I had been taken against my will so they couldn't really touch me. I waited day and night for you and Amy kept saying that dad would find a way to find me. I believed that." He explained and she nodded, blinking back the tears in her eyes.
'Yes, we tried a lot to find you. I am sorry that I couldn't be there," Sapphire said but Andrew shook his head.
'I understand mom. I overheard from Aunt Trisha that you were shot by that man, they thought I was asleep when they talked about all that. Are you okay too mom? Is it okay for you to walk around? Hannah once said that a person that was shot and is not dead has to wait around and rest for a long time in order for them to be okay again," Andrew said and Sapphire pinched his cheek.
'I am alright, darling. I healed at the hospital." Sapphire told him, leading him away to the couch.
'Where is Andrea? Were you able to get her? Is she in good shape?" He asked and she chuckled.
'She is okay but asleep at the moment, come with me and take a bath. Trust me you would need it."
'Yes, mom." He said and grabbed her hands as they made their way to the kids' room, Andrea was sleeping peacefully on her bed. Andrew glanced at her once before he followed his mother into the bathroom where she was getting everything ready.
'Mom, you know what?" He asked and she hummed, a sign that she was listening to him. 'While I was with them, they kept mentioning Venita's name. I think that they are up to something with her and kept mentioning some sort of boss." He told her and she paused and stared at him in thought.
'Boss?" She asked with an arched brow and he nodded.
'Yes. Everything they said at some point was, boss this, boss that, boss and Venita, Boss and Brielle."
'Aunt Brielle?"
'You know her?"
'Yes, she is my aunt. My father's sister."
'That makes her grandmother's daughter."
'Yes. What exactly did they say about her?"
'Nothing important. They would say it briefly and huddle themselves into a room in order to talk about it further."
'So, you got nothing else?"
'No mom. After they discovered that Andrea and I are incredibly smart – Amy's mom told them that – they became extremely careful and cautious around me. So I got nothing." He said and Sapphire nodded. 'Nothing except the fact that this boss is a woman."
'A woman?" Sapphire asked, she raised her head and stared straight into the eyes of her incredibly smart son. 'Are you sure about this?"
'Yes. They kept using ‘She' whenever they talked about the boss." He answered with a nod. 'By the way, where is dad?"
'He is on a business trip in Maldives, and will be back tomorrow. I am sure that Zayn already informed him that you are alright, we would facetime him together after you are ready and Andrea is awake, then we would spend a nice and alone time together."
