~Chapter 12~

Sitting in this interrogation room sucks ass. These cops are so stupid. I might've only lived with Bobby for a week but I know at least more than the shit they're trying to sell.

"Look we know you where there. Tell me where Victor Sweet is?" The detective asks me.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't even want to be here. You have no evidence, whatsoever. I swear you cops are dumber than a nail." I say.

"No evidence? Well, what do you think this is?" He asks showing me what I remember Fowler trying to do to Bobby. "A hair from your head at the crime scene."

I bust out laughing. "Are you serious? That's bullshit and you no it. Ain't no hair in that tiny ziploc bag. Look the only hair I see in there is from your son's dick. Ooh detective it was so good. I had teach him a few things but it was my pleasure. He's a quick learner and was so gentle." I say with a stupid grin on my face. 'Damn, I've been spending to much time with Bobby.' I think to myself but don't take my eyes off of the detective.

The detective throws his chair to the side and storms over to me. He grabs me from my chair and pushes me against the wall.

I groan. 'Damn second time today. What is it, slam Lyric against the wall day.' I think.

"Detetive, we both know you don't have anything on me. So you can let me go voluntarily or Bobby, Angel and Jeremiah can come in here and show you what it means when you mess with their baby sister. Besides, I don't think they'll have a problem with spending just a few days in jail for beating a cop putting his hands on their baby sister thats just happens to be a female no less." I say knowing I won.

He reluctantly lets me go. I walk out of the room. I walk out to see Angel and Sofi and Camille and Jerry together. I smile at both couples. Now, I really wish I was with Jack. I guess we're just waiting for Bobby.

"Hey, where's Bobby?" I say making my prescence known.

"He should be getting out by now." Angel says looking at Jerry.

"If I catch you out on that street without that badge, I'm gonna smack that smirk right off your face." He says to this officer as he walks towards all of us.

"I'm gonna smack you Bobby. I told you not to let Jerry get hurt." Camille says with Jerry's arm still around her waist. As Angel and Sofi comes closer to all of us as me, Angel, Bobby and Jerry walk to the counter.

"Yo, let me get my property." Bobby says looking over the counter.

"Y'all alright." He asks all of us. We all nod our heads.

"You alright, firecracker?" Bobby asks looking at me.

"Yeah, just had to deal with getting physical with a cop but no big deal." I say looking over the counter.

"What!?" Bobby yells. I look from behind the counter and look and see all three brothers staring at me.

"It;s okay, chill. I handled it. I guess he didn't want to deal with the famous Mercer brothers for pulling against a wall." I say trying to lighten the mood. Apparently it worked.

"You said something, didn't you, Jerry?" Angel asks looking at Jerryl.

"I ain't say nothing. Why you always think I said something."

"I said something." Bobby announces.

"What?" We all ask at the same time.

"I told him I was banging his wife." He says smirking.

"Me, too." Angel says.

"Me, too." Jerry announces laughing.

"I told mine I was sexing his son." I say. They all turn to me. "What? I blame Bobby. Obviously I've been spending to much time with him."

We all laugh. As soon as we get all our stuff. We head to the hospital. Camille and Jerry leave to go get the kids. I hesistatly walk into the room. I see Isis sitting in the chair next to the bed smiling. I walk in and see Jack awake. I gasp.

I run over to his bed and hug him. I hear him groan and let go instantly and stare at him.

"I told you I wasn't going to leave you." He says. I smile as my tears fall freely now. He pulls me onto the bed with him. As my head lays on his chest. I can hear his heart beat.

I lean up and look at her. "Thanks for staying with him, Ice." I say calling her by her nickname.

"Girl, you know I would do anything for you. Besides, me and your man was just talking since this is out first meeting with each other. Even though, you were right about him. He is sweet." I blush at what she says. I turn back to look at Jack and see him smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" I ask him. He opens his mouth but Isis interrupts before he answer.

"Wait, before you answer, I'll go and let the others know Jack's alright. I'll leave you two alone." She says getting out of her seat.

"Thanks, Ice." I say. She just smiles back at me before walking out of the door.

"So, tell me, what were you smiling about?" I ask giving my full attention back to Jack.

"Well, my Muse, I was smilinh because you told her I was sweet. Also that I am caring, gentle and have the sexiest tounge ring." He says grinning. I gawk at him.

"She told you I said that?"

"More or less." He says before pausing. "So what happened today?"

"Well, lets see, Fowler's dead. I watch Bobby knock out my dad then I watched him be put into the ice." I say. I watch as his eyes go wide in shock, surprise, and understanding.

"Sweet....was your dad?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say softly. "My mom killed herself because of that life. She couldn't handle it. That was when I was 8. But I stayed with him. He taught me how to take care of myself. I mean I'm sure o some level he loved me. Just not like a father should, you know. Then when I turned around 14, he started using me in his deals. I didn't mind much but then a year later I was...." I trail off knowing I don't need to finish the sentence. I lay my head back on his chest.

"I'm glad you didn't leave me. I'm glad you're still here."

"Me, too. I thought I was dead. I thought I would never look into those deep brown eyes ever again. That scared me. It scared me, shitless. I couldn't open my eyes. But I could hear your voice. You were telling me that you loved me and that I needed to fight for us. All I could think about was getting back to you." I feel my eyes water and feel up with tears.

"I can't belive you heard me." I say in a whisper. Staring down at his chest.

"I heard you and I love you, too." He says.

My head snaps up to stare in his eyes. "You mean it?"

"Of course. Lyric Justice Johnson, I love you with all my heart and soul."

"Oh, Jack. I love you with everything I have. You are the person that brought that light that it needed into my life. I'm so happy when you're around. Sad when you're not. You make me better, Jack. And I'm so grateful for that." I say as I lean down to give him a small kiss but Jack arms comes up wraps around my waist. I snake my hand up to his neck to bring my body closer to his. Our bodies seemed as if made to fit together as the kiss turn deeper, more passionate and there's an urgency there. A desperate urgency for the other person.

When breathing becomes hard, I regretfully pull my lips away from his. But our foreheads are touching. Not wanting to loose the contact. My breathing coming in short pants. And from the sound of the machine beside the bed, Jack seems to be having the same problem.

I smile. "That was amazing." I say.

"No." He says. I open my eyes to look at him. "This moment is perfect." He says. I smile and lean down to kiss him again. Just when our lips touch, I hear someone clear their throat. I reach behind me and pull my gun out and aim it at whoever interrupted us. I don't even turn to see who it is. I'm still staring down at Jack.

"Whoever, just did that must have a death wish. I don't why you just did that. Speak before I put a bullet in you." I say still staring down at him. He smiles at me. But I see his mouth move saying, 'Calm down, baby.' I take a deep breath but down move my gun.

"Whoa firecracker. I just wanted to see my little brother. Didn't mean to interrupt your moment." Bobby says.

"I told you not to. But you had to be stubborn and do it anyway." I hear Isiss say. I put my gun back up before I hesistantly move to Jack's otherside and stare at the two.

I see Bobby wearing his usual grin on his face. I turn to look at Isiss that she's passing glances at Bobby when she doesn't think anyone's looking. Aww, she likes him. I think to myself. Even though not two seconds ago she sounded annoyed I can tell that's her mask.

"Hey, little fairy. Are you okay?" Bobby asks walking over to the bed.

"Yeah, man. I'm alright. Great, actually." Jack says winking at me. "I'm ready to get out of this hospital though. I wanna go home." My eyes fall to the floor. Think it's not much of the house but it all can be fixed. Hopefully.

"As soon as the docter says you can go we will go." I promising him.

Just then the nurse walks in.

"I'm sorry but visitor's hours are over." She says and just as quickly she walks back out.

"I'll be back tomorrow. I'll even bring you some real clothes." I say.

"I'll miss you." He says with a sad look on his face.

"Oh, stop with all this lovey dovey stuff. Stop being such a girl with all this sentimental crap."

"I think that it's sweet." Isiss says. From her spot near the door.

"You know what, Bobby? You should take after your little brother." I say.

"You might learn something. You could learn a lot from him." Isiss says finishing my sentence.

"Whatever, let's get out of here." Bobby says stalking past Isiss out of the door.

I give her a sympathetic smile. I lean down and kiss him on the forehead before walking out the door.

"I'll miss you, too." I say before walking out of the door.
