Angel waited outside the office watching Jerry go in there. Angel knew something wasn't right with Jerry and he had to find out. He prayed to God that Jerry wasn't part of moms death. He knew that Bobby would probably kill him. He would kill anyone,even his own brother, to know who killed their mother. He watched for an hour and a half until he saw Jerry come out. He had a package in his hand.
"Damnit Jerry!" Angel cursed before starting his car to follow his older brother.
Meanwhile Bobby saw Councilmen Douglas coming. "Here he comes!" Bobby whispered. Brianna was holding onto a gas can while Jack lit a cigarette. " Councilmen Douglas!" Bobby said standing up
"who are you?" Douglas asked
"My name is Bobby Mercer. I believe you might know who my brother is…Jeremiah Mercer?"
"Yeah…."
"You were the one that shutup down his project"
"Im not aloud to talk about that!"
"All I want to know is why you shut it down. I think it might have something to do with our mothers death. I know you know something and I need a name Coucilmen!" bobby told him, but Douglas just walked past him
"You kids don't need to get into this!"
"Who are you calling kids?" Brianna asked "We have a right to know who killed our mother and I suggest you tell us what happened to her!"
Douglas opened his car door "I suggest you go home!" he told her before shutting it. He turned to the passengers side and I sniffed "Whats that smell?" he asked himself. He rubbed the seat and sniffed his finger "GAS!" he yelled. He turned around and saw that his back window had been broken.
"All I wanted was a name Councilmen. Now im going to have to make you a black gingerbread. That's ok though ill have my baby brother suck your burning dick!" Bobby told him smirking at Jack. Jack rolled his eyes " Roll down your window!"
"Victor Sweet!" Douglas answered scared to death
"Now was that so hard?" Brianna asked "You don't have to die now!" she smiled before walking away. The boys followed her. All the sudden she heard a phone ringing. Bobby answered it
"Hello…..why? Ok we'll meet you there…yes!" bobby closed his phone " That was Angel. He wants us to meet him at the bowling ally. He found something"
"What was it?" Brianna asked
"He wouldn't say. The sound of his voice made it seem bad though"
"How could you tell?"
"I know the sound of my own brothers voice and it didn't sound good alright!" Bobby told her annoyed. They get in the car and drive to the bowling ally. Bobby gets out and starts jogging. He sees Angel sitting on a stool by the bar.
" Hey whats up?" Bobby asked
"Did you guys get anything on that Douglas dude?" angel asked
"Sure did!" Brianna said smiling "It was fun scaring him!"
Angel chuckled a little "Did he give ya'll a name?"
"Yeah…Victor Sweet!" Bobby told him. "You remember him don't you. He was always being picked on when we were growing up!"
Angel laughed "Yeah I remember! Boy that was great times!" Brianna rolled her eyes.
"Why are we here?" Brianna asked
"You see that guy over there at the lanes with his family?" Angel asked nodding his head in that direction "That's Evan, you know from when Jerry was in the Union. Well boy have things changed. He's been running with a bunch of gangsters. He now works for a man name Vic!"
"Vic!" Brianna shouted turning around
"Jerry is meeting him here today!" Angel told them
"OMG!" Brianna said covering her mouth
Bobby turned around and bawled up his fists. Just then Brianna saw Jerry walk over to Evan, she took in a breath. "Holy shit!" Jack said standing up. That made Bobby turn around. They watched at their older brother gave a package to Evan.
"Jerry's paying someone off with money. How much you want to bet that its that Victor guy!" Angel said sipping his beer without looking up.
"How about we go ask!" Bobby said slamming his beer on the counter. Everyone followed Bobby as he approached Evan. Evan looked scared to death and ushered his family to leave quickly, but Bobby was too soon for them to leave, " Hey Evan!" Bobby said trying to stay calm
"Bobby! We were just leaving!" Evan replied holding onto his daughter
"What were you and Jerry talking about?" Bobby asked ignoring anything Evan said to him
"Just catching up. You know me and Jerry go way back…to the Union days"
" What was that package he gave you?" Angel asked
" What package?" Evan asked. Bobby pushed back his shirt revealing his gun
"Don't play that game!" Bobby told him getting pissed off
"You going to do that here?"Evan asked covering his daughters ears
"Right here,right now!" Bobby replied
"Give us the package Evan!"Angel told him. Evan reached behind him and pulled out a rather large package and threw it at Angel. "Thank you!"
"Go back to your family. Make love to your wife and tuck your kids in bed. You can bet your life that you will see us again!" Bobby told him smiling. That caused Brianna to giggle a little. Evan cut a glance at her. The Mercers turned around. "Now we go deal with Jerry!" Bobby said walking out of the bowling alley
"Now?" Brianna asked
"Yes now!"
They get into the car and drive over to Jerrys house "Bobby I don't think this is a good idea."
"Let me call him. Let him meet us in the morning Bobby. Give you time to cool down. We don't know anything right now!" Angel told him
"No I want to go in there right now!" Bobby said opening the door
"His family is in there!" Jack told him grabbing his shoulder
"He's our brother Bobby!" Brianna told him with tears in her eyes "We cant just kill him!"
"Call him!" Bobby told Angel. Angel picked up his phone and called Jeremiah.
"Thank you!" Brianna told him leaning back again. "We need to calm down. We don't know anything right now!"
"You don't know anything!" Bobby told her
" Alright hes coming!" Angel said hanging the phone up
"Good!" Bobby said bawling his fist up.
The next morning everyone was awake by 9 o'clock. Jack, Angel, and Brianna were sitting on the couch. Bobby was no where to be found. Just then they heard the door open and Jeremiah walked into the living room. "Alright im here! What do you guys want?" he asked
"what the hell is this?" Angel asked showing money from the package to him
"Nooo!" he yelled " You don't know who you are messing with!"
"Do you!" Angel yelled
"Wheres Bobby?" Jeremiah asked turning around
Just then Bobby punched him " Right here!" Bobby answered. The blow made Jeremiah fall to the ground. Brianna went to stop him but Jack grabbed her by her waist and set her back down on the couch. Angel got up and walked over to him. "Stay down!" Bobby told his brother kicking him in the stomach
"Whats your problem man!" Jeremiah yelled
"Where did you get this money Jerry?"Angel yelled
"I swear to God Jerry if you had anything to do with Moms death I will kill you right here and now!" Bobby told him
"Bobby stop!" Brianna yelled
"You think I had something to do with Moms death?" Jerry asked sitting up
"Our mother ends up dead and you hit the lottery!"
" Are you serious!" Jerry yelled standing up " Man I paid all moms bills. Where were you guys? Huh? You were gone done your own thing while we were stuck here! I should get moms insurance. You guys did nothing to help her. It was me!" he told them shoving Angel back
"You paid off Victor!" Bobby yelled
"No! Hes the one that shut me down!"
"Wait! I thought the government shut you down!" Jack asked
"Douglas! No Douglas had nothing to do with it!"
Just then there was knock on the door. Jack grabbed Briannas hand and walked to the door. "Your mom was a whore!" someone yelled before a snowball hit Jack in the face. Brianna starts laughing
"Screw you man! I'm going to kick your ass." He yelled running after them
"Get um Jack!" Brianna yelled stepping out onto the steps. Just then the guy turned around with a Jason mask on " Whoa!" Brianna said " You guys get into this crap don't you!" she asked herself. Just then she saw him pull a gun out. She heard Bobby yelling behind her. "JACK!" she screamed. They pulled the trigger " NO!" she yelled. She went to run after him but the boy pointed the gun at her "You're a whore too!" he said but before he could pull the trigger Bobby shot him in the heart! She tried to run over to Jack who was on the ground. She saw a van pull up and men get out. Bobby grabbed her by her hood and shoved her inside the house. Gunshots started going off. "JACK!" Brianna yelled
"Bobby!" Jack yelled. Brianna tried to stay covered but she needed to help Jack. She stood up but Angel jumped on top of her and covered her. He knocked the breath out of her so she just layed there. She saw him running up the stairs with Sofi in his arms.
"Bobby help!" she heard Jack scream "Please!" he begged
"Jack hold on!" Bobby yelled back
"Hold on!" Brianna finally screamed. She saw Bobby on the ground on the porch. Shots being shot by him barely missing him. Jeremiah was no where in sight. Then she saw him running through the kitchen " Jeremiah!" she screamed but he didn't look back. Where was he going? The shots finally stopped and she leaned up. Bobby was still laying on the ground. Had he been shot? She saw movement. He was out of bullets. He threw his gun away and looked through a hole the shooters had created. The other guy was loading. Bobby picked up to bricks and ran outside. Brianna followed him. She saw him hit the guy in the head with a brick knocking him down to the ground. He just started kicking him. Brianna tried to run over to Jack who was on the ground trying to breathe. It broke her heart to see him that way. "Jack!" she yelled but the van was coming right for her. Just then Angel jerked her away and Jeremiah rammed into the side of the van. She screamed as she landed in the snow hard! She didn't care that she was hurt she just cared about Jack. She ran over to her bleeding brother and go on top of him. "Jack!" she said as tears streamed down her face. Bobby, Angel, and Jeremiah came over to him
"Someone help!" Angel yelled "SOMEONE!"
"Don't you die on me you little fairy!" Bobby told him "You hear me!" he yelled
"Jack!" Brianna yelled again " Please don't go!" she told him " Don't leave me here alone. I need you!" she yelled shaking him
"So beautiful!" Jack said smiling a little stroking side of her face. Brianna starts bawling uncontrollably.
"Please!" she begged "Fight!" she screamed " Don't you leave me too!"
" Jack hold on ok!" Angel told him
" I'm calling! I'm calling!" Sofi told them panicking as she dialed 911. Within minutes they could hear the sirens in the distance
"You hear that Jack! They are coming for you! You have to hold on!" Brianna told him wiping the hair that got in his face "Hold on!" she told him.
"No…no! Open your eyes!" Brianna told him grabbing his shirt. "Don't you leave me! You promised!" she screamed in his face " You promised me! Please!" she begged "MOM!" she screamed up towards the sky
Jack began to pant trying to get air into his lungs "Hold on!" Bobby yelled at his brother. But it was too late. He was gone and there was nothing no one could have done.
"NO!" Brianna screamed trying to revive him. She started giving him CPR! Angel grabbed her by her waist "Let me go!" she yelled pushing him away. She was sobbing trying to bring him back to life.
"He's gone!" Jeremiah told her "He's gone!"
"Not you too! Not you!" Brianna told her brother "WHY?" she screamed throwing her hands in the air. Her hands were covered in her brothers blood. She was soaked for the snow but she didn't care. She watched as Bobby walked over to the van
"Who sent you?" he asked " Was is Victor Sweet?"
"Yeah Victor Sweet!" the shooter replied. Bobby brought down his gun "Thank God!"
"Thank God?" Bobby asked "You killed my mother and my brother you motherfucker thank Victor Sweet!" with that pointed the gun at this head and pulled the trigger. Moments later the cops and ambulance were there. Everyone moved over to the stairs after Angel pulled Brianna off Jack who wouldn't stop giving him CPR. Green walked up to them
"What happened here?" Green asked
" What the hell does it look like happened here!" Brianna said coldly
"Victor Sweet did this!" Bobby answered
"How do you know?"
"Cause his buddy over in the body bag told me!" Bobby told him
"Ok ill get a statement from him" Green responded. Brianna stared him coldly
"Why couldn't you guys just let the cops deal with this?" Green finally asked
"Yeah you guys have been doing a wonderful job! I mean look….only 6 people came after us!" Brianna responded
"Bri I know you are going through a hard time right now!"
"You don't know shit about what I am going through. I just watched my bestfriend die. I couldn't do shit about it!" she told him beginning to cry again "Don't tell me that.I watched my mom and my brother get shot. You don't know shit!" she yelled "
"You cant bring them back!"
"No but we can send him some company!" she replied wiping her tears away
"Now don't go…." Green started
"My brother is dead because you don't know how to do your job!" she yelled "You could have found these people by now! What you just think that because its Detriot that shit like a grocery store hold up is nothing! Fuck you!" she screamed
"Are you going to bury sweet or our we?" Bobby asked
" I have something else I need to deal with!" Green told him
"Are you serious?" Brianna asked "They just killed my brother is broad daylight. It wasn't an accident! They killed him on purpose!"
"I have another lead…a dirty uniform I need to deal with"
"Who are you protecting Green?" Bobby asked "Your boy Fowler?"
"Look Fowler is my problem! We will get to the bottom of this, You guys just stay out of it!" he turned to walk away
"What about all this?" Angel asked
"Self defense wasn't it!" Green told them. Just then Brianna saw them zip up the bag with her dead brother in it!
"AHHHH!" she screamed. She walked into the house and started knocking stuff off the drawers and walls "Why him?" she screamed "Why?" she screamed as she fell to the ground. Angel grabbed his sister and tried to calm her down. It was no use though. They were all pissed off. She just layed there pounding on the ground as she cried. The boys walked into the living room and just sat there.
"What are we going to do man?" Angel asked wiping his face
" I don't know" Bobby answered. For once he didn't have a plan "I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe it was bad idea to go look for Ma's killers on our own. Now look what happened. Our brother is dead!"
"You cant bring them back Bobby!" Jeremiah replied
"Like Brianna said…we can send them some company" Angel told him
"What? Are you just going to go looking for more trouble?" Jeremiah asked
"He's right Angel. I cant lose one of you guys too., I just lost my brother. I think that's enough"
"We cant give up!" Brianna said walking into the room. Her eyes were so blood shot from crying. " We have to get Sweet before he comes after us again. He's going to keep sending goons until we are all dead."
"She's right Bobby!" Angel told his brother. He watched as tears fell down Bobbys cheek. He just stared at all the pictures on the wall until his eyes fell on Jacks.
"Jacks dead!" Brianna said trying hard to hold herself together "I cant lose you guys too. I wont be able to live." Tears streamed down her face "Jack is safe now" she told them covering her mouth "He wont be in any pain anymore!" She held her stomach and just sobbed in her hand. Angel walked over to her and just wrapped his arms around her. She just sobbed in his jacket. "Its ok!" he told her stoking her head "He is safe now. No more pain!" he told his sister as tears fell down his face.
" I know what we can do!" Jeremiah finally chimed in " We will pay Victor off with the rest of moms insurance. He's a business man. He'll do it!"
"No….he will just take the money and then kill you, We would probably never find you until the lake thawed out" Bobby told him
"We cant sit around doing nothing!" Angel told his brother "We have to try!"
Bobby stared at his brother who was holding his sister in his arms. "Ok…." Bobby answered. "Lets do it!"
Jeremiah shakes his head before leaving the room. Angel finally let go of Brianna who had quit crying, well enough for her to be able to see straight. She decided to walk upstairs and lay down for a moment, her head was pounding. To get to her room she had to walk past Jacks. She looked in his room and just started bawling again. "Jack! I'm sorry!" she said as she layed on his bed. She curled up in a ball without covering herself up and cried herself to sleep. She didn't care what happened to her now. All she was focused on was killing Victor Sweet with her bare hands!
