Part 2 of Chapter 10

As I was walking back to my apartment, I saw Jack and Bobby ringing my bell. I walked up behind them, "Hey!"

The turned around and looked at me.

"Oh Hey," Jack smiled.

"Hey Bobby didn't know you were coming." I opened the door.

"Yeah," He replied.

As we walked upstairs I had a weird feeling. We came to my apartment and the door was wide open. I immediately took out my gun.

"What's wrong…" I cut Jack off before he could say anything else.

"Wait here." I walked inside carefully.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned around to see Jack and Bobby. I rolled my eyes and kept walking.

The place was completely trashed, I couldn't believe it. I heard some rustling coming towards my bedroom. I carefully walked down the hall and opened the door.

Lexi was sitting on the floor tied up to my bed post.

"Lexi you alright?" I stuck my gun back in its holster.

She looked up at me, her face was bloody. "It's about fucking time."

I smiled and tried not to cry. "Just relax; I'll get you to the hospital soon."

Bobby and Jack walked in. "Shit." Jack walked over.

I looked over towards Bobby, he put his gun away. "She alright."

"Yeah we need to get her to a hospital." Jack and Bobby helped me get her up.

When we arrived at the hospital the nurse took her right away. I waited outside in the waiting till they told me that I could come see her.

"Hi my name's Dr. Gray." The woman stuck out her hand.

I smiled, "What happened?"

"She is going to be alright. Just a few bumps and bruises. I have a concern though, she seems like she was beaten up now she won't say anything but I suggest…"

"Can I talk to her?"

"Yes she's right inside."

I walked passed the nurse and walked into the room. Lexus face was cleaned and I could see that she was developing a black eye.

"Hey how are you feeling?" I walked over towards her.

"Fine for a person that got beat up." She smiled.

"Lexus what happened?"

"Cedes what do you think happened?"

"I don't know you…"

"I heard the bell ring, I thought it was Jack. I let them in Cedes I let them in." Lexus started crying.

"Let who in?"

"The two men, they were looking for you. Said that you owed them something, I told them I didn't know what you owed them. Then they beat me and tied me up. Cedes what were they talking about? Who are they." Lexus choked the words out.

I started crying, "I don't know Lexi I don't know."

I waited till Lexi dozed off and went outside to the waiting room.

"Is she alright?" The two guys asked.

"Yeah she's alright. She's sleeping but I'm sure you can go see her if you want."

I walked over towards the exit.

I stood outside and called Dakota. I tried not to cry as I told what happened.

After of talking I hung up and went to walk back inside.

"Who did it Mercedes?" I looked over to see Bobby.

"I don't know." I walked past him and back into the hospital.
