Chpater 14: The Message

Dakota ran around her house as Bobby chased her. She squealed as Angel ran from around the corner and grabbed her. He laid on the couch and began to tickle her. Dakota squealed and squirmed to get away but Bobby came over and helped. Jack ran into the living room and tackled Angel. Angel sat up on the floor and looked at his little brother. Bobby and Dakota just stared at him too.
"What?" Jack asked innocently. Bobby kept staring at his brother, Dakota just burst into a fit of laughter.
"Fairy boy finally got some balls!" Dakota laughed. Bobby's eyes went wide as he stared at his little sister.
"Yea! I guess he did huh baby girl?" Bobby said. He smiled as he realized that he'd been a bad influence.
"Man, fuck you both!" Jack said. He too began to laugh. Dakota made a face of disgust.
"Ew! Jackie, that's flattering but I'm your sister!" Dakota joked. Angel choked on the water he'd been drinking.
"Dakota!" Jack gasped. Dakota started laughing as her three brothers began tickling her.

An Hour Later

Bobby, Jack and Angel sat at the dinning room as Dakota danced around in the living room, listening to her new Emma Roberts CD. "You know we don't have to worry about Jesse corrupting Dakota! We do that pretty well ourselves!" Angel said suddenly. Jack laughed at his brother comment. Bobby looked up from his dinner plate.
"Yea we do, don't we!" Bobby laughed. Jack and Angel began laughing. It felt good to just laugh. They finally felt like there was nothing to worry about when it came to Dakota.

Jesse picked up Dakota and spun her around and around. When he put her down she fell. Laughing, Jesse bent to help her up.
"Sorry baby! I didn't mean to make you dizzy!"Jesse told her. Dakota giggled as she took Jesse's hand. He pulled her up and she dusted herself off. She locked eyes with Jesse and smiled. Jesse bent down and kissed her softly.
"I guess I better get home! If I don't, my brother will call the cops!" Dakota said. Jesse laughed. Knowing her brothers they probably would. "Are you guys still going to the court to change your name tomorrow?" Jesse asked. Dakota nodded and Jesse smiled. Dakoat was getting her named changed finally. And her brothers finally let her take the name Haylei. She smiled as she thought about the name. Haylie Evelyn Jade Mercer. She took her mothers name as a middle name. Jesse waved goodbye as they went their seperate ways. As Dakota walked away from her school, she sighed and pulled out her CD player.
" And I don't wanna be your dummy, I got these wings and I'm free hunny, I don't want your fast life or your money or your time, So stuck on yourself it's funny, so I don't wanna be your dummy, da dummy da dummy!" Dakota sang along to her Emma Roberts CD. She was about to step off the curb to cross the street when a black SUV pulled up. Dakota jumped back and glared through the tinted windows at who ever was driving. The door opened and black man stepped out onto the curb. He looked at Dakota and a evil smirk crossed her face.

"You must be Dakota Mercer!" He said in a cherry tone. Dakota backed up and glared intently at him.
"Yea, what's it to you?" She asked. The man chuckled and snapped his fingers. Two of his thugs stepped out of the car and took hold of Dakota by both arms.
"Well you see, your brothers are ruining my business sweetie, so I've got a message for them!" He pulled out a gun. Dakota's eyes snapped shut as she tensed her body. She felt a pinch in her neck. Tranquilizer darts. Dakota's whole body seemed to shut off as the sedetives coursed through her. Just as her eyes were about to close, the man jumped in his car. The thugs dropped Dakota and followed him.
"Hey!" rang a woman's voice. Dakota couldn't fight it any more. Letting her eyes close, she fell into a dream world.

The doorbell of the Mercer house rang causing its occupants to jump. Jack got up from the table and ran to the door as Bobby hung up the phone. It was four o'clock and Dakota hadn't yet arrived home. Jack ripped the open to reveal a brown hair, blue eyed woman. But Jack wasn't focused on her, he was more focused on her arms. She held a limp form in her arms. A form he realized, with horror, was his sister. The lady apologized as Jack pulled her into the house.
"Who the fuck is she?" Bobby asked. He was on the defensive side already. Seeing his little sister in the ladies arms and his bad ass attitude faltered. He ran to her and scooped Dakota out of her arms. "What the hell happend?" The lady flinched at the anger in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what happened! I was driving along and I saw this guy just pull out a gun and shoot her. She's not dead, just knocked out! I found out where you lived by looking on her bookbag. This address was on it!" the lady said. Bobby's face softened. This lady had saved his baby sister. Looking at her for the first time, he found that she was beautiful. He extened as hand for her to shake.
"I'm Bobby Mecer!" He said. The lady reached out and shook his hand with a smile.
"I'm Ann!" she replied. Dakota groaned and Bobby turned back to her. He pushed her hair out of her face and watched as her eyes opened. They fell upon him and he saw fear begining to flood them. Dakota sat up staright and Jack grabbed her. Laying her back down, Bobby wiped away the tears that came and hugged her tightly. Daktoa was scared she didn't know what was happening. The sound of glass shattering, brought everyone back to reality. Angel and Jerry ran in from the kitchen as tires screeched from outside. Jerry ran to the living room window and picked up a rock with a peice of paper tied to it. He pulled the paper from the strings and read it. A sketched picture of a little girl dying fell to the floor.

Keep Messing With Us And You'll Be Picking Out A Four Foot Casket

Jerry drew a sharp breath and handed the note to Angel. Angel's eyes grew wide as he read it. Jack came over and snatched the the letter from Angel, his eyes filled with fury and tears as he handed it to Bobby. Bobby's eyes filled with rage and he tossed the note across the room.
