I put my groceries away and got ready for Jerry's. I called a cab, I didn't want a repeat of earlier that day. The cab arrived and I got in, and went to Jerry's.
I let myself in and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Camille"
"Hey Chels"she said as I put my jacket on the chair I sat at.
"Auntie Chelsea!" Amelia and Daniela said running towards me.
"Hey guys!" I said embracing them.
"Can I help with anything?" I said to Camille.
"Ya stir this." she said and let the pot she was stirring.
"It smells great." I said. It was almost time for dinner. There was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." I said as I walked towards the door. It was Angel and Sofi.
"Hey guys!" I said as they walked in. I gave Sofi a hug then Angel.
"Angel, can you give me a ride tomorrow?" I asked.
"Ya, Why?"
"Jer and Bobby didn't tell you?" he shook his head. "My car got shot up last night."
"Aye you OK?" Sofi said.
"Ya I'm fine, just car less. Bobby said they probably used a M16." Angel nodded.
"Anyway."I said walking in and letting them walk in.
"Just in time dinners ready." Camille said. Jerry came out of the hallway.
"There is my traitor brother." I said with a smile.
"What do you mean traitor?" he said pausing.
"You called Bobby to come get me." I said embracing him into a hug.
"Well?"
"Well, he knows why I hate him so." I said. The boys knew a little bit. Sofi and Camille knew it all.
"Oh"
"Ya, is he coming?"
"I don't know." We all sat down out our designated areas.
"I have an announcement." Sofi said. We all looked at her.
"I'm pregnant!" she said.
"HAHA!" I said and laughed and looked at Camille. "You owe me $20!" Everyone looked at us.
"You bet on when we would get pregnant?" Angel said.
"Yes, and I won." I said. "Congratulations Guys." I said a little more heartfelt.
"So you going to get married?" Jerry asked. They looked at each other.
"Maybe." Angel said.
"Maybe, my ass Angel! We are getting married before the baby comes." she said. He looked like he was going to say something in rebuttal to it but she interrupted with Spanish curses.
"Good one Jer." I said. Through Angel's and Sofi's yelling no one heard the front door close. I looked up and saw Bobby.
"Bye guys" I said getting up and getting my jacket on.
"What?" Jer said and turned around.
"Don't leave because of me Chels, cant we be a civilized family again." Bobby said.
"We never were Bobby. Bye guys Congratulations again Sofi." I said.
"Chels how are you going to get home?" Angel asked.
"I'll walk!" I said shutting the door behind me. Thank god the rain had let up. I zipped my jacket up all the way.
About half way home I heard footsteps behind me. I looked over my shoulder. There were three guys.
"Fucking Great." I said under my breath.
"Hey cutie!" one of them said. I turned around, feeling stupid and sarcastic. I was fed up with everything.
"Hey, you guys the ones out to kill me or what?" I said. I had, had it.
"As a matter of fact we are." said a guy as he came into view. I immediately regretted everything I had done the previous seconds before. The guy looked like Fowler.
"Fowler?" I asked.
"More like his younger brother. Here is the funny story." he said motioning towards the guys. They walked towards me. I kicked one and punched the other. They were much stronger than me though, they pinned me against the wall.
"Don't struggle honey. We aren't going to kill you tonight. We want Bobby and your other brothers to see." he said with Fowler's smirk.
"See, my brother wasn't strong enough for prison life. He was killed within the first year there. But here is the punchline I was hired to kill you. I'm not after you because of your affiliations with my brother, although it is a bonus. I was hired by a woman." I looked at him really confused.
"Ah, I understand that look. I was hired by Francesca Spiller." He said. It took me a moment then I remembered the name.
"Oh fuck, why the hell is she after me? I didn't do shit to her. It should be the other way around." I said, that name had haunted me off and on for the last couple of years. I had forgotten it within the last couple of months. That was the name of the stripper Bobby dated. I struggled against the two guys holding me.
"Bobby broke her heart, so she wants to break Bobby's." he said.
Goddammit Bobby!! I screamed in my head.
"So whats the point in this fucked up meeting?" I said. Fowler's brother hit me in the side. I groaned in pain. When I saw his hand he had on brass knuckles.
"So you know your being hunted." he punched my side again.
"So you can tell Bobby." he punched again. I felt one of my ribs give way and break. I screamed in pain.
"So Bobby can try and save you and fail miserably." he said and grabbed my drooping head by my hair. I winced in pain. He looked me in the eyes.
"So he can watch you fade away as you die in his arms." he said and punched me in the stomach. The other guys dropped me. They all walked away and left me laying on the ground in to much pain to move.
