Warning: Overall abuse mentioned/described


Jazmine slowly woke up from her restless nap. Her head was beginning to hurt and she had to shake feeling back into her hand from lying on the hard floor.

She had no clue on how long she had been stuck in this room but it felt as if it was months.

Before they all fell asleep, they discovered there was a bathroom attached to the room so were relieved that they wouldn't have to pee on themselves. Some girls who they couldn't lie, looked like prostitutes, had come to give them food and bottles of water and as much as they wanted to throw it back at them, they knew they needed it so had to suck it up and accept it.

She slowly got herself of the ground and staggered to the bathroom, leaving her sleeping friends in the room. She strolled in and switched on the light, she had to squint to adjust her eyes to the change of lighting. Once it did, she felt as if she wanted to throw up.

Surprisingly, there was a mirror in there but she was disgusted at the sight. Dark circles were slowly beginning to form under her red eyes, she looked pale, her hair was sticking out in different places and overall just looked sick. This was no Jazmine DuBois.

She turned on the cold tap and let it run for a few seconds before collected a handful of water and washing it over her face. She did this another time before looking back at her reflection.

"Still horrible." She muttered.

She wanted to cry. But where was the point in that? It wouldn't do anything, her situation won't change. It's not like Vladimir wouldn't see the tears and think it's time to let them go. If anything, from how creepy he seemed, he would probably lick the tears right off her cheek.

A shiver ran down Jazmine's spine. The man was truly revolting.

"Jazzy? You in there?" She heard Cindy call.

"Yeah... just needed... something."

The only thing she wanted was to get the fuck out of there, asap.

"Trust me, we all need something. Jesus would be nice." Cindy said which caused Jazmine to let out the slightest giggle due to her being so tired.

She slowly opened the bathroom door to be met with Cindy who looked just as much as a mess as she was.

"You look terrible." Cindy joked as she stepped out the way.

Jazmine rolled her eyes. "I could say the same to you. If anything, you look worse than me bitch."

Cindy eyes diverted to the bush of hair on her head and before she could comment on it, Jazmine held her finger in front of her.

"Don't. Even. Go. There." Jazmine threatened.

Cindy rolled her now dull, blue eyes.

"That's not fair."

"Life isn't fair."

The two women looked at each other before bursting out in laughter, forgetting where they were for a split second.

"I wanna know the joke." Royalty spoke loud enough for them to hear.

"Little Princess is awake." Cindy commented as they walked back over to where they all 'slept'.

"I must be since I'm locked away in what could be a tower." She breathed out.

Cindy and Jazmine shared a look but couldn't say anything else when Raven and Ming woke up too.

"Ugh." Raven began to cough. "Having a possible broken rib and sleeping on the floor is not the one." She held where her ribs were located as she slowly sat up, making sure not to put too much pressure on them.

"Next time, can we sleep on each other to get some type of comfort? I wanna sleep on Jazmine's fat ass." Ming groaned as she stretched her sore muscles.

Jazmine rolled her eyes. "Hopefully we won't be sleeping any longer as we would be out of here."

"I don't know why it has taken them so long. It only takes a few minutes to track me." Raven questioned.

Something dawned on Jazmine and her eyes slowly began to tear. "Maybe they're mourning..." She whispered but the room was empty enough for the sound to travel so they all heard.

"Why do you think that?" Cindy asked as they all sat down in a circle.

"Huey... he was shot. He dropped to the floor and didn't get up. Oh my gosh I forgot to tell you! How can I forget to tell you that? I saw it before I was dragged into the van!" She answered.

Raven shook her head. "Nah. Not Ghost. It will take more than a bullet to kill him."

"But it wasn't 1... It was 2." Jazmine added and did her best to hold back her tears.

"Maybe they're not coming for us. It was obvious that they wanted to kidnap us just to hurt them but what if they don't care if Huey is dead?" Ming asked.

"We going back to this negativity again." Raven sighed. "Look. They are not just going to leave us, trust me, that's not how they are. Believe or not but you guys managed to become a huge part in their lives without even realising it. The guilt will eat them alive if they know you're dead, even hurt. I know they are beating themselves up from this."

Cindy closed her eyes. "What are we going to do when we get out of here? Shit is never going to be the same."

"When they entered the club, nothing was ever going to be the same."

"I guess it's time to walk around with my pocket knife again." Ming commented.

"You wanna buy me one?" Jazmine looked at her.

"I'll get you one with pink diamonds on it just for you."

Jazmine just rolled her eyes. "I am not 10 anymore."

"But you would look so cute with it. Really brings out your eyes." Cindy added.

"Whatever."

Before they could continue to tease Jazmine some more, a whispered voice could barely be heard.

"Is it just me or is it cold in here?" Royalty had her back against the wall and her eyes closed.

Since Raven was the closest, she scooted over and placed the back of her hand on her forehead. Her eyes widened.

"She's beginning to burn up. I think she is catching a fever from the cut. It might be infected."

Everyone's eyes grew big too and they jumped closer to the younger woman.

"Roy Roy! Why didn't you say anything?!" Jazmine asked in a panic.

"Nigga... I'm... too tired."

"You could have still said something!"

Cindy jumped up angrily. "Fuck this." She stomped over to the door and began to slam her fist against it. "Hey! Motherfucker open up the motherfucking door! Let us the fuck out!"

Surprisingly seconds later, the group of women heard the door unlock. Cindy stepped back as she waited for whoever to walk in.

"Now. Where are your patients beautiful?" Vladimir smirked as he slowly stepped in with a group of people behind him.

"Really? You got other people to do your dirty work again?"

His muddy eyes dived into Cindy's soul which caused her to close her mouth. "It just makes it easier to hold you down while I have my fun. It would be a shame if I... accidentally, slit your throat so early into the game." Vladimir laughed while his people chuckled behind him too. Suddenly, he stopped smiling and everyone else stopped laughing too. "Tie them up." He ordered them.

The women began to panic as they saw his people come towards them. Out of nowhere, there was 5 chairs placed in a circle. One for each woman.

"Get off me!" Ming tried to fight against the men but it was no use, they were too strong.

Everyone was fighting back, even Royalty but it didn't change their situation. They were still going to be tied to the chair.

Minutes later, their hands were zip tied to the back of the chairs and legs tied to the legs of the chair. They couldn't move their limbs which made them feel even more powerless than how they felt 10 minutes again. Would they ever be free again?

"Did I ever tell you I like my women tied up?" Vladimir gloated.

"Because no one would willingly want to sleep with a bitch like you?" Raven smiled.

Vladimir's face dropped. "No. Maybe I should show one of you what I mean." His smile came back as he saw all the wide eyes in the room. He walked around until he stopped at Cindy. He looked her up and down before bending down so they were eye level. "Blondes are my favourite... they know how to have fun and by the looks of it, I know you do too."

He lifted his hand and softly stroked her face but when she tried to turn away, he forcefully grabbed her face and made her look him in the eye.

Jazmine and Ming were the only ones who could see since they were on either side of her and began to panic, scared of what he would do and they had every right to be.

Vladimir leaned forward and planted a fat, wet kiss onto Cindy's lips.

"Hmmmm! Umm!" Cindy tried to protest but she could only make sounds since his whole mouth was covering hers. She felt like she wanted to vomit. It was the most disgusting kiss she had ever received. He moved his other hand so that it gripped one of her breasts hard. A bruise might just form.

Ming and Jazmine could see the tears building up in Cindy's eyes and could feel their own coming. They were going to scream at him to let her go but eventually, he moved away but not without dragging out Cindy's lip which now had a cut from how hard he bit down on it. He licked the blood and grinned.

"Mhmm. Delicious." He sighed and stood up. Cindy was so shocked she didn't even make any noise. She just stared into the empty room with wet eyes.

"Now. For the fun part!" Vladimir loudly clapped his hand which made Royalty flinch from the volume. He saw this and slowly walked around to her. "What's wrong with you, what's your name again...? Right, Diamond..."

"One of your men, who by the way, body is getting eaten by insects at this very moment, cut her stomach and it is becoming infected." Raven explained annoyingly.

Royalty's head was hung low and she could barely keep her eyes open. For some reason today, her immune system was failing her.

Vladimir reached forward and aggressively pull up her top. When the women tried to protest, the other people in the room weapons became visible which made them go quiet.

"Well. If she dies first, her body parts can be the first to be sent to Ghost. A shame really, she has a nice one too." He shrugged before dropping her top and stepping back.

The room was still until Vladimir's back hand met Jazmine's cheek. Everyone was in shock. They did not expect him to strike her the way he did but then again, they didn't expect to be in this situation either.

"Fuck you-!" Cindy's rant was cut off by Vladimir.

"Cover their mouths." He ordered his people, bored. They nodded and pulled out duct tape and slapped it across all of their mouths.

"Hmm!"

"Mhhmmm!"

"Umm!"

Their voices were muffled by the material.

"Finally! You have learned to shut the fuck up!" He laughed. Jazmine was forced to silently cry as she felt a bruise form on her cheek. "Why do women like to talk so much? I don't understand it. I do like them feisty but not so much lip." He sighed. "Natasha." He called the same woman as earlier. "Choose one." He instructed her as he stepped back.

Natasha took his place and grinned. "Can I not choose all?"

"How about 3?" Vladimir compromised.

"Good enough." Natasha walked over to Raven and punched her again in her ribs. You could hear her muffled screams as pain soared through her body.

'I am going to kill this bitch!' Raven vouched in her head as she did the best she could to breathe through her nose.

Natasha walked over to Jazmine and punched her on the same cheek. More tears formed in Jazmine's eyes as no one could even see her trembling lip. "You're too pretty." Natasha punched her harder before walking over to Ming. She reached forward and grabbed Ming's throat and began to squeeze. Her eyes grew wide as she felt the oxygen beginning to cut off. She began to panic and tried her best to rip the restraints off her but it wasn't working.

"Let her go. They can't die yet." Ming could barely hear Vladimir lecture as she almost lost consciousness. When the cold hands left her throat, she could hear her heartbeat forcefully collecting the oxygen from her lungs to send back up to her brain. The pain was agonising and she only had her nose to breathe through which made it worse.

"No fun." Natasha pouted as she went back to her place before.

Vladimir took his place again at the front. "Don't worry. I will let you jump them soon. In all due time."

He walked in a circle and looked at every single tear and bruise forming. He stopped when he saw Royalty's eyes closed.

"Oh how rude. Just going to fall asleep on me... I guess I have to fix that." Vladimir sighed. He reached into his pocket and pulled out swiss army knife and flipped the blade open.

'What is going to do with that...?' Jazmine thought nervously as she saw him twirling the knife.

Casually, Vladimir drove the blade into Royalty's shoulder. Her eyes flung open and her head flew back from the sudden pain she was feeling on her shoulder. Her green/brown eyes stared into Vladimir's dark browns and was begging for him to remove it. She already felt like shit and now this throbbing from her new wound was making everything worse. Royalty began to bawl but it was hard to hear because of the tape of her mouth. Raven manged to find a way to reach other and hold Royalty's hand as she was forced to listen to the pain she was going through and could do nothing about.

Vladimir removed the knife, whipped it on his trousers and watched the blood pour from the fresh wound.

"That will wake you up for a while." He pocketed the knife and walked in front of Jazmine.

He didn't break eye contact from her and kept his eyes on her which made her squirm in her seat.

"You know, everyone talks about your eyes which is why your name is Emerald but I don't see nothing special about it. Same with Sapphire. It's just basic and boring." He lightly tapped Jazmine's bruised cheek. "I only slap you as hard as I did because I had to make an example of you. You're Ghost's girl. You're fucking the leader which means you have just as much power as he does. You can control him just by opening up your little legs. This really is a test of the type of person he is, will he rescue his precious girl? Who knows?" Vladimir stood as he held his hands up in a shrug.

"What should we do with them boss?" Natasha asked eagerly, just waiting to get the order to beat them until they were bloody and bruised even more.

"We're going to leave them in the chairs for a while. Let them think. Then when their injuries get worse, send some pictures to our dear friend." He grinned and Natasha nodded in understanding and joy. She was too into this for their liking.

That's when Raven felt Royalty lose grip on her hand and Jazmine witnessed her head slouch once again. Jazmine manged to take a quick glance at the wound and saw the patch of blood growing larger and larger.

'No no no! We need to get the fuck out of here! I hate begging for help but Huey, hurry your ass up!' She screamed in her head. She couldn't die here. She refused to. She still wanted to be married with children, her own studio and die of old age. Not at the hands of some deranged psychopath.

Vladimir groaned as he looked at each woman tied to the chair. "I am so bored. I thought by now Ghost would have called or even a letter I mean come on! I have all four of their girlfriends and whoever this is, I expected something-"

Bang!

Bang!

Gunshots erupted out of nowhere and everyone turned towards the door.

Vladimir grinned. "Look who finally decided to show! I was getting worried. Sit tight, I'll be back soon." Vladimir's people formed a circle around him and hurriedly escorted him out the room and slammed the door shut.

Once they were all gone, Raven, Jazmine, Ming and Cindy began to fight against the zip ties to try and free themselves. They could feel it slowly sinking deeper into their skin but continued to fight. They had to get out.

Jazmine's mind was racing but one thought stood out the most. 'We're finally getting out of here! We're saved!'


"We're here." Hiro announced as he turned off the engine.

They had parked in some bushes not far from the building so they had time to plan and discuss their moves.

Huey wasted no time and jumped out the van so everyone followed suit. They all formed in a circle and crouched down to avoid being spotted.

"I need three of you to wait by the vans to make sure no one steals or destroys it and is ready to make a getaway. Also, so you can kill anyone on the outside that might be coming in and out." Ghost began to explain to the men and women standing before him.

"The rest will be split into two. One group to take the back, another to take the front. There might not be a door in the back so find a window if you can, anything to find a way inside." He began to point as he listed people off. "Reezy, MC, HO, Tri, Dee and I will go through the front. We will be taking out most of them so the rest going in through the back will have an easier job, it will mostly be just controlling the runaways. We will find the girls and once we get them, we leave. I don't give a fuck about Vladimir at the moment, trust me, I will find the time to kill him just not now but very soon. Mark my words. I just want to get the girls out safe since they have been held longer than they should have. They shouldn't even be in there. Load up, we leave in two minutes." Ghost looked at each person who nodded to show their understanding. They stood and walked off into their groups to prepare themselves.

Before any of them could speak, Dante's phone rang. He quickly pulled it out and saw it was a facetime from his daughter and answered it.

"Hey baby girl. Shouldn't you be in bed?" He asked quietly so they didn't draw any attention to where they were.

"Yeah. I wanna say goodnight." She grinned. He could tell she was about to go bed because of the bonnet on her head and the pink pjs he could see she had on.

Dante smiled. This little girl was the only reason he fought as hard as he did. She motivated him to make sure he made it home to her every night.

"Goodnight baby girl. I love you. Make sure you're good for grandad and grandma ok?" He told her.

"I love you too daddy and I'm always good. Bye Bye!" Her eyes sparkled as she looked at her father through the phone before hanging up.

The whole time Huey was watching their small but intimate interaction. He couldn't deny how cute their relationship was. Despite the lifestyle he lived, Dante was an amazing father when it came down to it. He would kill for his daughter. Literally. It made him wonder if he would ever find his happiness like Dante did but now wasn't the right time to be thinking about that. He had a mission to complete.

"Alright. What we doing Ghost?" Dee came back over and looked at his leader and older cousin, ready for the next move, knowing he told his daughter he loved her before he entered danger.

"We go in. Find the girls and get them the fuck out. We will bring them to Alex if they are hurt but then straight to their house and you know the plan from there." He looked each one of them in the eyes and they all shared the same determined and angry look.

"Man it's about fucking time we get some real action." Reezy commented as he checked his ammo in his gun.

"I just hope he didn't touch them." HO said as he checked his leg. He hoped it didn't fail him now.

"I hate to be the negative one but we all know he probably did something. Hopefully not as bad as we think." Tri shivered as he began to think of the worst-case sceneries no matter how much he told his brain not to.

"Then let's waste any more time." Huey stood tall. "Let's make that motherfucker pay and get our girls back." They all nodded and checked their guns to make sure they had enough bullets. He walked over to his brother and held up his fist. "See you on the other side."

Riley basically punched his brothers closed fist. "Whatever nigga. Don't bleed out on us. No one has time to be dragging your ass out of there."

Huey smirked and shook his head. Their way of saying 'good luck' will never change.

Ghost walked into the middle to address everyone. "Mask up."

Those two simple words triggered a domino effect. Everyone pulled up their Panther masks and broke off into their groups. They sprinted skilfully towards the building, making minimal sound.

"It says they are on the left side of the building." HO spoke to his group who nodded in understanding. They had to find a room on the left.

Ghost stood from his crouching position. He lifted his right foot and drove it straight into the door, making it fly off the hinges.

"Knock knock niggas!" Reezy shouted as they entered, ready to shoot anyone who stood in their way. They all ran in and turned to the right where they heard screaming girls and shouts. That's when bullets began to fly and they all ducked for cover.

They allowed the girls who were wearing party clothes, to run out as they shot at the ones shooting at them. There was only about 8 of them so it was easy enough to get them out the way.

MC popped out from his position and aimed at the one that manged to find a machine gun. He pulled the trigger once, compared to the man spraying in their direction and watched it penetrate his neck. The man flew back while holding his neck and slowly bled on the floor.

Ghost stood and pulled the trigger twice and killed the last two men standing by shooting them right in their skulls. They didn't even wait for their bodies to drop and was already out the room and onto the next. They could hear footsteps, shouts and gunshots further inside so made sure they stayed alert.

Ghost stopped and held up his fist for everyone to stop. He heard footsteps on his left as they made their way down a long hall. He was right because someone flew out the door which caused Ghost to fly across the hall. Before anyone could come and assist him, three more popped out and began to attack.

The one that pushed Ghost tried to stab him in the head but Ghost managed to recover quickly and blocked it. He then drove his fist into his ribs twice but stopped when the man's other hand punched Ghost right in his injured side.

"Ahh." He gritted his teeth at the pain but didn't let that slow him down. Ghost quickly pulled out his trusted dagger and drove it straight into the man's heart whose mouth flew open in shook. He looked down at the blood slowly pour out but then Ghost stabbed him again and again and again. A wave of fury washed over him and he couldn't control himself. Blood splattered over his face as he stabbed the man again and again.

"Ay yo Ghost! He done man, let's go!" He managed to hear his brother call out to him.

Ghost snapped out of it and looked at the man who was dying slowly. He threw him to the ground and stepped over him, not even bothering to wipe the knife. Ghost paused and took a deep breath before putting a hand on his side. As he lifted it to his eyes, he saw the liquid that was just brighter than his eyes looking back at him.

Tri saw this and spoke up. "Cuz, I think you should wait outside while we get the girls. You're bleeding."

Ghost shook his head. "I'm not turning back now." The bandana over his mouth and nose made his screw face even scarier. It was all in the eyes. The fire was burning in them.

The rest shared a look but knew they wouldn't be able to stop Ghost, they continued making their way down the hall until they noticed two doors at the end of the hall. Before they could choose which one to break down first, they heard footsteps behind them. They swung around with their guns ready to fire at who else was coming to fight.

"Woah! Woah! It's us!" Mateo quickly pulled off his bandana and held his arm up when he saw all the guns aimed it him.

"Damn nigga! What you expect us to do like say we ain't getting shot at." Reezy rolled his eyes.

"Sorry..." He mumbled.

Ghost shook his head and turned his attention back to the doors. He looked at the one closest to him.

Dee stepped up. "I got it." Was all he said before kicking down the door. What they saw was not what they expected.

There were about 11 girls with barely any clothes on and too much make up on. There was only 5 beds and they all were squeezed into the tiny room.

It dawned on Ghost what they were used for by their terrified faces. He pulled his mask down and looked at each one who was trembling in fear.

"We're going to get you out of here and get you to somewhere safe where you can see your families again. My men will take you. Trust me." He told them sincerely.

The girls looked at each other, wondering if they should trust this large man covered in blood.

MC stepped into the room next. "Don't worry. We will take care of you and take you away from Vladimir."

Hearing his name, the girl's gasps and grabbed hold of each other.

A female Panther decided it was time to step in. "I know it's a lot to take in but trust us. We will get you out and away from here." She held out her hand to them.

They looked at each other and then they all jumped up and ran straight to the door but a girl who looked no older than 16 stopped and faced Ghost as she recognised him as the leader.

As she began to talk, it shocked Ghost. "There are five other girls in that room. I heard them talking about it." Her thick Texan accent, rang through his ears as she pointed to the other room. Ghost nodded a thanks as she raced out the room to follow the other girls out as they finally felt some type of freedom as they ran into the darkness.

Ghost felt sick to his stomach. The girls looked young, bruised and sick. He didn't know how long they were there for but he didn't care. That one girl alone came from a whole nother state! Vladimir was truly the scum of the earth and Ghost was ready to kill him.

"One more door." HO said as he walked back outside.

Ghost took it upon himself and wasted no time kicking down the door, knowing this was the right one.

His eyes landed on all five women who was gagged and strapped to chairs in the middle of the room.

"Jazmine!" He shouted as he raced over to her.

HO ran to Ming, MC ran to Cindy, Reezy ran to Royalty while Tri and Dee ran to Raven.

"Look at the mark on your neck!"

"He put his fucking hands on you?!"

"He hit you?!"

"Fuck Midnight!"

"This motherfucker stabbed you?! Oh hell nah!"

They all expressed part of their anger verbally and worked on getting them out of there. The men quickly but carefully peeled the tape off their mouths and began to work on their restraints.

"What the fuck took y'all so long?" Raven breathed out. She was glad to be able to breath out of her mouth again.

"Pedro made a new tracker which meant it was longer to find you." Dante explained to her as he cut one of the zip ties.

"Just my fucking luck to get kidnapped with an old ass tracker." She tried to raise her voice but her ribs were getting to her and she began to cough. "Fuck. That bitch really fucked up my ribs. I'm gonna kill her very soon."

"Are you ok?" Huey asked but he knew she wasn't from her tear stained face and purple bruise on her cheeks.

"Better now that you're here but-" Jazmine was cut off by Riley who was now standing with a passed-out Royalty in his arm. They could see the rage all over his face.

"He fucking stabbed her man! We need to get her to Alex asap. But why she burning and sweating and shit?" He questioned but the anger didn't leave him.

"She caught a fever from an infection of her wound she got from the club." Raven explained as she stood with the help of the twins.

"We've been here long enough. Let's go." Ghost spoke into the room and without hesitating, they all ran out the room, still making sure they were aware of their surroundings. They were still on enemy territory.

Jazmine felt as if she was getting dragged across the hall as she tried her best to catch up to Huey who was sprinting while holding her hand. They didn't get that romantic moment in movies where the two shared a much-needed kiss to show how much they missed each other. No. It was in and out and she was glad. She didn't want to be anywhere near that place ever again.

They got outside and the cold air hit her light skin which caused goosebumps to run all over her body.

"We're nearly there!" Huey shouted to them as they continued to run. She was really trying her best but-

"Fucking rocket launcher!" Jazmine heard Riley shout and next thing she knew; she was laying on the hard floor with a heavy weight on top of her and a bright orange explosion that caused her ears to ring.

"A whole ass rocket launcher! Who the fuck is this guy?!" Caesar yelled.

"I am not waiting for no reload!" Demetrius jumped up and continued to run to the van to prepare it for them so they could leave immediately.

"Ow... what the...?" Royalty stirred as she felt something crushing her.

"Don't worry baby. I got you." Riley said to her as he scooped her back into his arms.

"Reezy?" She questioned.

"Shhhh. Rest." He whispered softly to her and she did just that and went back into an uncomfortable slumber.

"Keep moving!" Huey called out and they all listened.

The doors to the van was already open and they all dived in. They barely had time to shut the door before Mikey began speeding off.

"You guys can rest now. We will wake you up when we stop." Hiro said once they were at least down the road.

He didn't have to tell them twice and within seconds, they were all out cold. The men sighed.

"Now... the hard part." Caesar spoke out loud.

Dante shook his head. "You just gotta keep thinking about their safety. That's the least you owe them."

"We owe them more than that." Huey's scold never left his face as he thought of his next moves. He looked down at Jazmine whose head was resting on his lap as she slept. The war had officially begun and he was ready for action but first, the girls needed to be taken care of.


"Alex!"

They had just reached the warehouse and raced inside to find Alex.

"How bad?" Was the first thing he asked.

Ghost pointed to Royalty. "Infection and stab wound to the shoulder." He pointed to Raven. "Possible bruised or broken ribs. The rest have bruises to their face and neck."

Alex nodded as he checked over Royalty first as she was placed on the bed. "Get those three an ice pack and rub some ointment on them. It should heal in about two to three weeks." He instructed but didn't take his eyes off the needle and thread as he patched up Royalty's wound. "Someone get me the bottle of antibiotics. She's gonna need it. Oh and get Faith."

Caesar ran out and surprisingly, seconds later, he was back with a female who had rubber gloves on already.

"So what we got?" She questioned. She was a small dark skin woman to Nigerian parents. She was new to all this and acting as a second doctor to Alex. If there were too many injured people, she would be called. Her and Dante shared a quick small smile before she turned back to Alex. The two had been talking for a few weeks now and it was looking good but they were not worried about their relationship now.

"We also have some others girls you need to check out. As in a good 11 of them. It would be better if a woman was to treat them while I get some people to get them clothes and other things." Huey told her before Alex told her everything else.

During the that time Alex was filling in Faith, Riley hurriedly raced over to the cupboard that held majority of the pills. Each section was labelled so he looked to where it says 'antibiotics', grabbed a bottle and gave it straight to Alex.

"Is she allergic to anything?" Alex asked.

"No." Jazmine shook her head. "Why are you giving her pills? Don't you have a drip?" She questioned.

Alex shot a quick look to Huey and he knew he had to step up.

"Let's get that ice pack-" He reached for her hand but she pulled away.

"No Huey. Why can't he treat her that way? What are you hiding?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

Cindy stepped up. "We deserve to know if what you plan to do especially if it has to do with us."

"We want the whole truth. Now." Ming walked up next to the girls.

Hiro rubbed his forehead. "You might as well tell them now."

Huey breathed through his nose as he looked at each woman in the room. They all looked battered and bruised because of him. Cindy's pink lips now had a red cut running down it, Ming's pale neck was marked with finger prints, Royalty was sickly and Jazmine's soft skin was now marked by a large bruise along her jaw line. He didn't want this to happen to anyone. He wished he was stronger to prevent all of this. He shouldn't have let them walk outside on their own. That was stupid on his own part. They listened to him. It was time they were no longer around him so he could stop fucking up their lives.

"You're leave." He simply announced.

They looked at him stunned and confused.

"What are you talking about Huey? Leave where?" Cindy asked.

This time Huey was sterner as a way to block out the sound of his heart slowly breaking knowing the pain he had caused in just over a month of knowing some women.

"Here. Chicago." Their eyes widened. "I don't care where you go, as long as it's not in these streets. You can no longer be here. You need to leave, tonight. We have money and will drop you off to the airport once you collect your things. You don't have to tell us where you go, just go. I'm sticking to what I said earlier, its the best choice."

"Ho-how can you just... what the fuck Huey?!" Jazmine stuttered angrily.

Huey narrowed his eyes. "Look at what happened to you Jazmine. Before you met me, I bet you have never had a bruise that big in a day of your life. It's my fault you're in this position."

"Maybe it is but stop sounding so fucking selfish Huey!" Jazmine screamed at him. Everyone else watched the could-have-been couple going back and forth as they understood they need to let this all air out. They were just the main translators to how each group was feeling. "It wasn't you that put your hands on us, it was him. He is to blame for the bruise I have plastered on my face. You can't go and beat yourself up about this every chance you get. We are alive and that matters more than your guilt of being a bad person, which you are not by the way."

The room was silent beside from the various movements of objects coming from Alex and Faith as they now were working on Raven, who was listening intensely despite being in pain.

"Damn Jazzy..." Cindy mumbled.

Huey took a deep breath as he digested everything she said. It wasn't completely his fault. Everyone could say it but until Vladimir was at his feet bleeding to death, the guilt will continue to eat away at him.

"I still need to get you out of here." Huey chose to avoid the whole conversation as he felt embarrassed. He really was a disappointment.

"So that's it? Our lives in Chicago is over." Ming threw her hands up in frustration. She understood the situation at hand but she couldn't help but to be mad about having to pick up her life and move on.

"We're sorry..." Hiro told them but he looked Ming directly into her eyes to show her how sincere he was being. He failed her as a boyfriend.

"I know we haven't known each other long but we're sorry about what happened too. We wish we could have helped more." Dante spoke for him and his brother.

"At this point, I don't know if sorry is good enough." Cindy said stubbornly.

"We don't blame you for thinking that." Caesar added.

Alex eyes darted around the tense room. "Well-"

"Shit... its bright as fuck." Everyone turned to see Royalty begin to stir once they heard her voice cut off the doctor.

"Royalty!" Her friends and Riley cheered and raced over to her.

"Hmm. So loud."

"We just happy to see you awake and moving. Scared the shit out of us girl." Cindy told her.

"Whoops I guess but where are-" She went to asked but stopped when she saw Riley nervously standing behind her friends. "Riley? What?" She looked around and saw her change of scenery and then the last moment before she went back to sleep flooded her memory. "Oh shit..."

"Oh shit indeed." Ming agreed.

"We have a lot to fill you in." Jazmine sighed before summarising the last hour.

Royalty's eyes were wide. "Damn you serious?" They nodded. "That's some bullshit. Where we going to go now?"

"Atlanta has some good strip clubs if you still wanna do that." Demetrius commented nervously, not sure how it was sound to them.

"At this point, I don't care where we go as long as it has a shower." Cindy groaned.

"You will get the chance to. Alex, are they ready to leave?" Huey asked.

Alex sighed. "Yeah. Just make sure you take care of those injuries. Royalty you need to take these twice a day for 2 weeks on an empty stomach. Make sure you don't miss a day. Clean your wounds because you do not want to be how you was a few minutes ago." He handed Royalty the bottle of pills and she nodded in understanding.

"What other girls were you talking about?" Raven asked as Faith worked on wrapping her up in bandages.

"The room next to where you were, there was some girls in there. They were young, one had a different accent so I won't be surprised if the other girls are not from around here also. Majority was black which just goes to show no one really cares about our black girls. I don't know how many more girls that bastard has but we're going to make sure we get them all out and back home." Huey told her.

Raven was shocked but not shocked at the same time. "Faith and I will take care of it don't worry. You focus on them and- wait, Huey are you bleeding?"

Everyone turned to Huey who black jumper had a light gloss on the side.

"No." He denied.

"Huey-" Jazmine tried to convince him to get Alex to stitch him up but he didn't have time to hear it.

"We need to leave now. We've wasted enough time." Huey brushed them off.

Jazmine didn't like his attitude and had been through too much to care about how he was feeling at the moment. She tried to be helpful but he wasn't having it. It was as if he was getting her to hate him so it was easier for him to let go. What she didn't know was that she was completely right.

"We'll be back Midnight." Demetrius saluted to her as they began to make their way out.

"Bye Raven. I'm sorry we couldn't have been friends from the beginning." Jazmine gave her a light hug which shocked everyone, including Raven.

"Don't worry. Just don't get kidnapped again please. I do not want to be the sacrifice again." She joked.

"Trust me, that's the last thing on my list to do." Ming rolled her eyes.

The group made their way out with a lot on their minds. It was past midnight already and they still had a lot to do.


The rest of their time together was intense. Everyone barely spoke to each other as the girls packed as much things as they could in the little time they had, still unaware about where they would go.

Huey was acting cold. He really wanted Jazmine to hate him so it was easier to let go no matter how much he wanted to protest against it. He wanted her here with him where he would finally protect her as he should have but he just couldn't risk it. He would be better knowing she safe and he knew this was the only way he knew how to make sure of it.

As they pulled up to the airport, no one made the first move to get out. They all just sat and looked at each other in disbelief of thinking this friendship being over before it could properly start. It all started with the strip club and ended at the airport. This was not what they wanted.

Their thoughts were cut off by the slam of the car door as Huey jumped out.

They decided to take their cars so it looked less suspicious to see a bunch of people jumping out of a black van covered in blood and bruises. Well, less suspicious.

Jazmine jumped out the car and ran over to where Huey was standing as he lit a blunt he pulled out of his pocket. Everyone else slowly pilled out the car to engage in once last conversation.

"You not got anything to say to me?" Jazmine asked him.

He took a large pull. "No."

"You sure? This dropped out of your pocket when we were at the house and it isn't mine." Jazmine pulled out a silver necklace that had a 'J' harm hanging from it.

Huey hide his shook. He changed his mind about giving it to her when they left the warehouse. "I was going to give it to you but-"

He was cut off by Jazmine's lips meeting his. They engaged in a soft kiss which they wished lasted longer.

She slowly pulled away and got off her tip toes.

"Thank you. I know you don't want to see me again because you want to keep me safe but thank you. I had so much fun hanging out with you all. I will take this off your hands. Well, until you put this on for me." She slightly giggled as she handed him the necklace and turned around so that he could put it on.

Huey looked at the back of her head confused. She was not letting him push her way that easily. This really was harder than he thought. He sighed but clipped the necklace around her neck. She spun around and hugged him which he was again, shocked about.

"I forgive you Huey." Was all she said before turning away and running to where the other girls were ready to walk inside the airport to catch a plane to who knows where.

Huey stared as she made her way inside. He will never meet another Jazmine. He didn't know why that hurt him so much. They weren't together. He didn't know if he should hate himself for not making it official or to love himself that he didn't make it official so it was easier to let go. He was confused and sadly he was never going to find out.

He strolled over to where the men were standing watching the women blend in with the airport crowd.

"Do you think we did the right thing?" Caesar questioned as he lost sight of the blonde hair he began to like to play with.

"I hope so." Hiro answered.

"Some bullshit man. Fucking Russians." Riley cursed.

Huey stubbed his blunt before putting the rest back in his pocket. "Trust me when I say we did the right thing. Now, we have business to attend to, let's go."

Huey marched towards his car. They were now safe and leaving Chicago, Vladimir couldn't hold them above him again.

'You're fucking dead Vladimir.' Huey though as he stared out the window, choosing to ignore the view of the airport becoming smaller and smaller.


The women made their way into the bathroom doing their best to ignore all the stares they were getting from other people as they say all the marks on them. Luckily, they were allowed a quick shower so they didn't look too rough.

They walked into the bathroom to apply some make up to their face to look somewhat decent. Inside, there were three women whispering and side eyeing them.

"What you looking at bitch?" Cindy turned to them. They were not in the mood for other people.

"You best keep your eyes to yourself before I punch them into your head." Royalty threatened.

The three women couldn't contain their fright and ran out of the bathroom without a glance back.

Cindy turned back to taking out her makeup. "We really just going to leave Chicago like we haven't been here for years already."

"Now we have to sell our home." Ming added.

Jazmine, being the optimist one, spoke up. "Being with you three is home. Where one goes, we all go, end of. As long as we have each other, we will be fine."

"I get what you mean but as much as that sounds lovely, where are we actually going to live now?" Royalty asked as she took one of the antibiotics.

Jazmine sighed and looked at her reflection in the mirror as she began to think of all the places they could go when an idea popped into her head.

She wishes she didn't regret this.

"I guess we're going back to where it all started."
