Chapter 14

Preparing

Cailey had called Shawn for several reasons. She needed someone experienced with these types of predicaments. Shawn met her at this shady spot that afternoon outside of the hang out. It was surrounded by tall, husky trees and bushes. She made her way to the center, finding Shawn. She had only three hours left to prepare.

She ran to him giving him a huge hug. He held her for a moment. Shawn might have been a thug, but he had a sweet side to him. He really was feeling her, on an intellectual level. He smiled at her, sitting her on a stump. He sat on the other picking up a blue back pack.

"I brought you some things. If you're going to succeed at this mission you might need some of these things. Especially with you only being 15 and all makes this situation more difficult. I don't…I mean no one wasn't you to get hurt." He held her hand for a moment staring into her crystal blue eyes. She pulled away reaching for the bag. He handed it to her as she unzipped it.

Her eyes widened, pulling out a few things. It included some rope, brass knuckles, a crowbar, a knife, walkie talkies, and lastly a small pistol. Why would Cailey need a gun for? She held it in her hands in awe. "You want me to end him?" she asked. Shawn looked at her with big eyes.

"Baby, it's your now. You do what you want to with it, but one of those walkie talkies is mine. You're going to keep me updated, just in case ya know." Cailey nodded, putting everything back into the bag. She looked at Shawn with thankful eyes. This could very well be the last time she saw him. She turned heading for home. She had to go prepare, she didn't have much time. Time went by quick as she came down to her last thirty minutes.

She got dressed slipping on some old leather pants and a black tee shirt. The pants were cobalt black with black leather lace down the sides. She grabbed the book bag and tossed it over one shoulder. "Mother, I am going to hang out with Kaylee. You know her from church right?" Cailey lied to her mother. She hated doing it, but it was the only way. Bailey smiled at her daughter getting off of the couch.

"Yea I know her. Go on have some fun. Love you sweetheart." She kissed her forehead. She looked deep into her mother's serene eyes. This made her more pumped to go get Junior back. She stepped out the front door, pressing one of the buttons on the small walkie talkie.

"Lil mama to big daddy." She chuckled.

"Big daddy's here." Shawn replied laughing.
