Divas Prison Ch44

Sasha picked up all of the papers she had dropped onto the floor, put all of them back in the folder except a photo that she stared at, while Stephanie stared at her in turn.

"Why? Is this a joke?" Sasha asked in hope.

"You think I'd joke about someone's life? This is business, deal with it."

"Deal with it? Creed is my friend. Has been for years, is another person I owe the fact I'm here right now to."

"Your friend, from what I remember he spent all of his time just trying to get into your pants, i thought you'd quite like to see the back of him."

Sasha's eyes narrowed. "That was nothing but friendly flirting. He knew I wasn't interested in him that way, but he's a good guy, and he has served you well for years, just like I have."

"You really don't want to get into how well you serve me right now Sasha. You've screwed up royally, and put a lot of things at risk. But this isn't about you, any further than I need you to make sure he is taken care of, and as soon as possible. It's going to be good for you too you know

"Why? What's he ever done to you? He's never done me wrong."

"You think so. Do you remember your blonde friend? The one you brought out with you?"

"Yeah, stupid bitch. But she's no threat, she's back in jail."

"Yeah, and sang like a bird. Gave them Creeds name. They picked him up two days ago. His hiding skills are not up to much. They sweated him at the jail for two days before letting him go."

"So he flipped on us? Surely we need to get the hell out of here, right now!"

"If he flipped, I'm pretty sure we would already be sitting in a cell together. No, he called me and said he didn't talk."

"Well there you go. He didn't talk, why do I need to take him out?"

Stephanie sighed. "You really are good at missing the whole picture." He will be facing up to ten years inside. If he doesn't talk they'll threaten him with as much as they can. Do you really think Creed has the mentality to do ten years hard time?" Sasha went to immediately defend her friend, but knew she would be lying. As good a friend as he had been, Creed wasn't the sort to be able to face imprisonment. That meant he might do anything in his power to avoid going to jail at all.

"He wouldn't give me up. Not if he has any feelings like you think he does. And he knows what grassing you up would lead to, well look at this." Sasha waved the folder containing all of the details about Creed, not that she needed to.

"You can trust him if you want. I'm not going to." Stephanie sounded like killing him was as straightforward as paying bills.

"But, but, can't we just make him leave town, leave the country? If they can't find him, they can't get him to talk, can they? Do for him like you said you'd do for me. Make him disappear."

"You'll be lucky if I help you do anything right now. If you want help to disappear, like you said, you better get over yourself and get on with the job. And no mistakes this time."

"One mistake! That's all I made. There was no CCTV in the Carter house, she chose yo have guard patrols instead. Cameras shouldn't have been a concern, I had to focus on not getting a taser in my back if someone saw me. One guy did, they didn't find his body yet or that'd be in that article too. Who cares if they know I did it? Im on the run already,it won't change my fate if I don't get away from here, and soon." Sasha could feel herself getting angry, she knew letting it out was a bad idea so quickly pushed it back down.

"Fine, if he's out, I can get him to show his face. I'll do this, but it needs to be the last one."

"I told you, do this and I will help you disappear, wherever you want."

"No, it's the last one. I'm gone for good. I spent years killing for you. I didn't care till now. You want me to kill a friend. I can't work for you after this." Stephanie walked up to Sasha and looked her in the eye.

"You will do what I tell you. I have always taken care of you for the work you've done. You wanted for nothing. I got you out of a life behind bars, and you question me when I need you to help make sure it stays that way?"

Sasha looked down, feeling uneasy. Nobody else had ever had any kind of power over her, Stephanie had some way of breaking her down to the girl she was when they first met.

"I know, I can't ever repay you for what you've done."

"So no more of this forever talk. I'm getting you out of here, I'll come visit you, and you'll come here when I need you. But first, you've got a job to do."

"Yes Ma'am. This is not going to be easy, but it's what you pay me for."

"Exactly. Now I'm not heartless. There's a good pay day for this. 30 grand, and all the costs of your disappearance. Now go make me proud." Stephanie patted Sasha on the back, trying to be reassuring as her employee turned and left. She watched Sasha start her car and drive away. They then both made phone calls.

Sashas call was to Creed himself. She did her best to sound friendly.

"Creed? Guess who?"

"Sash? You ok? You're all over the news."

"Yeah, I'm fine, but I need your help with something. Are you around?"

"I had to leave town for a few days." Creed had chosen to make himself scarce after getting out of jail, but chose not to share that information, hoping that it could stay with him.

"Where are you?" Sasha asked, ready to drive.

"Jacksonville. I'm here till Friday, so I'll only be a couple of days. Will you be ok till then?" Jacksonville was many hours away, not a feasible option at that moment. If she said she was coming now, it would seem at least a little suspicious to a guy out on bail, considering turning informant. He'd try and run, and jeopardise things for her.

"Yeah sure. Say Friday night then?"

"Sure, how about dinner and a movie?" He couldn't see it, but Sasha rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Not a date, Woodsy."

"Sasha, I swear to God..."

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Can we meet somewhere that's safe? You know I need to stay low."

"Yeah, I know somewhere. I'll text you the address. Say 9pm?"

"You got it. See you then."

"Be careful Sash, from what I've seen, they're gunning for you."

"Thanks, you too." Sasha ended the call and started her car. She sat there for a moment, trying to get her head around the whole night, before pulling away. Stephanie had been watching her the whole time. After Sasha was out of sight, she made her call.

"Kane? Get in your car. I want you to follow Sasha until she meets up with Creed. I want you to make sure she does the job, and does it right. If she doesn't, here's what I want you to do."


The first Nikki Bella knew of the Sasha Banks/Dixie Carter incident was the next day, when she grabbed a copy of the newspaper that had been brought up along with coffee and breakfast. They had no connection to the Internet to avoid leaving any kind of digital fingerprint in case the authorities were able to trace any of it back to them. They didn't have access to the equipment that had kept everything secure before they were captured, if it hadn't been confiscated, it was somewhere that would have been checked for their presence probably constantly since they got out. Not that Nikki was complaining too much about their location. She was being well looked after at the safe house that had been set up for her and her sister. Her associates had basically catered to their every whim. Food, drink, whatever they asked for was provided. Expense hadn't been spared. Her wardrobe that day was top of the line' but nearly ruined when she practically spat her coffee out on reading the article.

"Oh my god. Why would she do that? Is she trying to wreck everything she worked for? Crazy bitch will be back inside before she knows what hit her." Picking up the newspaper, she headed off to find her sister, who she hadn't seen yet that day.

Nikki got to Bries bedroom door, she was about to knock when she heard Daniel, her sisters boyfriend voice. He didn't say anything understandable, but the way he said it, or rather moaned it, gave Nikki all the indications he needed that she did not want to knock on that door at that moment. As she went back to where she was and sat down, Nikki pouted at the knowledge she just gained. She was a little jealous of her sister, even though happy for her. She had no interest in stealing Brie's man away from her. She wanted to find someone for herself, but it wasn't like she could go out to a bar and pick up some random guy. She knew it was too much of a risk. When they got to the Dominican safe and sound, she knew what her first order of business would be. 'The first hot guy I see isn't going to know what hit him' Nikki thought to herself as she tried to distract herself from what she knew was going on right by her.

Brie appeared a little while later, with only a robe around her. She sat down next to her sister, going to give her a kiss on the cheek, but Nikki backed away.

"Don't you dare! I don't know where your lips might have been in the last hour!"

Brie looked away, quickly going red. "Oh my god! Did you hear us?"

"What do you think? Daniel doesn't know how to be quiet it seems. I'd make fun of him, but I don't want to think about those noises ever again!"

"Just stop it Nicole. I'm sorry you heard that, can we please just not talk about it."

"Brie you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm not mad about it, I'm not embarrassed that I heard you. It's sex. If we were still teenagers I'd have shouted something through the door if I wanted to embarrass you."

"I still haven't forgiven you for that Nicole." Nikki broke into a fit of laughter from that.

"Oh come on, we were nineteen ! You know how nervous you were. You were crazy about him."

"Him? Who do you think I was in there with?"

"That blond surfer looking kid, what was his name, Dolph?"

"Dolph? That was your crush!"

"Yeah, but he liked you. Wait, then if it wasn't him, who was it?"

Brie looked down, knowing the answer wasn't going down well. "Liv."

"Liv? That Jersey girl who graduated early?" Brie nodded. "But, you two never seemed to hang out much. Yet you were sleeping with her?" Brie noticed the horrified look on her sisters face and frowned.

"I didn't get to sleep with her, thanks to you. She was unhooking my bra when you decided to shout all that dirty crap through the door, drunk off your ass. I'll never forget it. I was so embarrassed nothing happened, we just laid together, semi naked, and went to sleep. Then she got with someone else instead."

"See, it wasn't meant to be. Did you ever hook up with Dolph?"

"No, I couldn't, not when you liked him. He wasn't my type anyway."

"Yeah, your type was a loud blonde with big boobs." Nikki scoffed. This made her sister angry.

"Nicole, I know you never understood how I feel. How I like girls as well as guys. That's who I am, I've accepted it, I would shout it from the roof it it would help you do the same. I can't help the way I feel about people, who I'm attracted to, who I've fallen for, or who I'm in love with." The last part snapped Nikki's head around to stare at her sister.

"In love with? Who are you in love with?" Brie's silence spoke volumes. "Oh I don't believe this. It's her isn't it. Charlotte. You're still hung up on her."

"Hung up? I'm not hung up on her. I fell in love with her. I didn't realise it till I lost her. I miss her Nikki, I really do. I love her. I know you don't understand, but..."

"You're right, I don't understand. I've never understood how your mind works when it comes to sex. She was just there. The only person who talked to you in there, and your first move was to jump in bed? And now you say you love her. Well I'm sorry to be blunt, but you have to get over her. You won't see her ever again. You do understand that you can't go anywhere near her, or you'll rejoin her, permanently."

I'm not talking about me going anywhere near her, but if we can pull it off once, what's to stop it happening a second time?"

"Brie, there's no way."

"There's is so a way. Yeah, we didn't do it all on out own, but we found our way out, we've still got plenty of money, there must be people who know, or can help, or both. I don't care how much it costs, I'll spend my entire half of our money. Daniel must have some people who know some people who can do this."

"Will you listen to yourself? You're talking crazy. It can't be done. You have to understand that. And do you really think Daniel will want any part of helping to get your lover out of prison? He's supposed to be your boyfriend for goodness sake!"

"But he's not who I want. Not anymore."

"You could have fooled me, the noises coming from your room not that long ago could have fooled anyone."

"I'm not sure how much longer I can do that. I've tried to go back to how things were, before we went away and I met Charlotte. But I can't. I thought he was dead. I had to make peace with that at the same time as dealing with being inside and losing everything. It was the hardest thing I ever did, but I did it. I moved on. I moved on to someone else, so you can't blame me for not being over her. When the plan to get out came to us, I wanted her to come with us, I had it set that she'd be with us the whole time. She ruined it and you made me leave her."

"We didn't have a choice in that. It was a risk to the plan, and we didn't have the time to wait for her. Besides can you imagine getting out then coming face to face with Daniel with your arm around your new lover? He'd have probably shot her on the spot."

Just the suggestion of that made Brie sad, and Nikki could tell right away. "I wouldn't have let him Nikki. He'd have had to shoot me first."

"Oh Brie, you really have got it bad. I know it hurts, but there really is no way for us to get her out. We don't even know the whole story of how we got out. We did our parts, and now we are here. Soon we'll be off, safe and sound back in the Dominican. We don't have to do any more business, we are set for life. But you have to stay with Daniel." Brie looked even more unhappy.

"I just told you. I can't do it anymore. It's not fair to him. It's not fair to me either."

Nikki got a lot more serious at this point. "Brie, he is setting up everything we need to be able to disappear abroad, with no worries for as long as we live. We can't do it without him. It's not like we can go out and take meetings the way he has. He's done it all, he's done a great job so far. He's done it all for you. I'm only here because of you, he'd have dumped me on the side of the road a long time ago if it wasn't for you. You can't wreck this for us, there is way too much at stake."

"So what do you suggest? I marry him? Because I can't do that to him. I hate what I've done to him already. I did love him you know. I don't hate him, I just don't love him anymore."

"You've just got to keep it up until we get out of the country. Once we are set up, we can get the money sorted so we are all set. I'm not saying we need to screw him out of his share, he's earned it, but I'm not against it, you could use your feminine charms to get him to do it. After that, you can tell him, break his heart, dump him like a used Kleenex, I really don't care. If you don't love him, I couldn't care less about him, but as long as we need him, you've got to do what's necessary, just fake it for a little while longer ok."

Brie hated the idea, but knew that her sister made a very good point. "Ok fine, but once we are out there, I'm telling him the truth, and I'm not giving up on the idea to get Charlotte out of there and back by my side. With or without your help."

"Once we are safe, you can do what you want. I just care about us, we're safe, so why not. Ok?"

"Ok." Brie smiled and hugged her twin, the conversation changing to more casual subjects. It wouldn't have done if either of them were aware that Daniel had come looking for Brie, and was stood just outside the doorway, out of sight, but close enough to hear everything that the twins had said to each other. He felt heartbroken, unable to stop a tear running down his face. The sadness quickly turned to anger. He couldn't have let Brie know he was alive, it left him exposed to the same fate as her after he barely escaped the police last time. Instead he had worked on trying to find a way to get her out. Legal methods weren't an option, there was no chance of success. He had spent a lot of money trying to find the best people to help, and had paid a lot of money to join forces with Stephanie McMahon, even if it was against his better judgement, but it had yielded the results he wanted. Brie had seemed a bit hesitant, a bit distant since their reunion, but he put that down to her shock of finding him alive. The truth that she doesn't love him, and even worse, she cheated on him, was in love with someone else, another woman to boot, was like a huge knife in his back. Nikki not being worried about dropping him once her own skin was safe wasn't much of a shock, her beliefs about him only helping her for Brie were pretty much on point. But Brie had hurt him, hurt him beyond any level he ever thought she could.

He grabbed a couple of bags out of their bedroom, went out to his car, the twins not seizing or hearing him at all, started it and drove a few miles down the road before pulling over. He sat silently in the car, deep in thought for a while, before finally saying to himself, as nobody else was anywhere near.

"You want her, you can have her. Screw you both." He started the car again, but at the same time, pulled out his phone, and dialled 911.

Unsurprisingly, the local police department didn't waste time after receiving the tip off of a possible location of two escaped felons. Even an anonymous tip was greatly appreciated at this point, even if it didn't pan out, they had something to tell the press. Several cars, and armed officers were sent, although as they approached the location, they all turned off their sirens and lights, not wanting to give themselves away and give anyone the chance to get away before they arrived.

Brie had just finished changing, coming back to the room where she had left her sister.

"Daniel's not in there, did you see him?"

"Nope, guess he went out." Brie shrugged her shoulders and called out "Curtis, do you think someone could go on a coffee run for us?"

"You got it, usual?" Receiving a thumbs up from Brie, he grabbed his jacket. The twins sat down again, but before either of them could open their mouths, the unmistakable sound of gunfire rang out and they both responded, heading towards the side of the house it came from, as did the other associates they had in the house. The first one there took less than a second to realise.

"Cops! Cops!" He shouted, while getting back, looking for cover. The Bellas slammed the door and looked at each other, both trying to stay calm, neither succeeding.

"Grab the bags." Nikki said, opening a window at the back of the room. Brie didn't respond. "Brie, the bags! Go get the money, there's no time to freeze up!" Brie suddenly ran out of the room in a flash, returning only a second later. The sound of gunfire was now louder, as the few who worked for them tried desperately to fight off the overwhelming force the police had brought. None of their guys were destined to leave the room alive, each one fighting to their last.

"The bags aren't there."

"What? How can they not be there?"

"I don't know, they aren't there, they're gone."

"Damn you Daniel!" Nikki shouted, opening a drawer on a chest next to her, pulling out a pistol and checking it was loaded and ready.

"Nikki, what are you doing?"

"There's no money, we might need this, come on, we are going to have to go out here, run for the car, there's no cops this side yet."

Brie was three quarters out of the window when the door was kicked in, two officers coming through with a purpose. Nikki, out of instinct maybe, or desperation, raised her weapon, ready to fire at the police, but she was no match for the well trained officers. Before Nikki could pull the trigger, a bullet tore through her shoulder and she fell to the ground, the gun falling to the floor away from her.

"Nikkiiii!" Brie screamed, abandoning her escape attempt to try and come to the aid of her sister. She pawed over her sister, trying to stop the blood coming out of the wound. The police weren't going to let her, one of them picked Brie up, then took her down to the floor, pinning her down as he reached for her arms, pulling them behind her back, one by one, until Brie was in handcuffs.

As she was picked up off the floor, Brie pulled against the officer trying to escort her out of the room, trying desperately to get to her sister, who was now in a pair of handcuffs herself, hers in front of her, allowing the officers to perform first aid with less risk as they put in a call for an ambulance.

Brie was no match in strength for the officer, who was more than twice her size. He had no choice but to drag her away, reading her her right, not that a single word sank in. He took. Her through the house, past several officers, some nursing wounds, but she saw how they were all smiling when they saw her taken past them. They didn't stop till they reached a police car, but Brie was held firmly in place while he opened the door and all but threw her into the back seat, causing a bump as she hit the seat, unable to break her fall.

"Let me see my sister!" She screamed as the officer paid her no attention, slammed the door and walked away, other officers outside keeping watch over her. Brie didn't care, pulling at her handcuffs while slamming herself into the door, not really appreciating the futility of it in her desperation.

"Hey! Knock that off right now, or you're gonna find yourself hogtied!" One officer shouted, as he banged on the door. Brie paid him no attention at all, but her despair was relieved by the arrival of two ambulances at the property. She watched through the bars on the window as several medics entered the property.

The next several minutes felt like hours to Brie. Her panic not being helped by the sight of the medics removing a sheet covered body from just outside the building. She guessed that it had to be Curtis, as he was the one going outside when the shooting started. Officers were brought out to the ambulance and given treatment, other bodies were loaded into a third vehicle that arrived, before finally, she recognised her sister being brought out on a stretcher. She looked to be conscious, because she was strapped into the stretcher across her body, all the way down to her legs, while still in handcuffs, and a second set of cuffs connecting her arm to the stretcher herself. She was struggling against all of the measures taken to restrain her, but able to move little more than her hands slightly in the air.

Brie screamed her sisters name repeatedly, it was impossible for her to know if she could be heard, because there was no way for Nikki to respond in her current position. She was loaded into one of the ambulances, two police officers getting in as well, and the doors were closed, the ambulance driving away with a two car police escort.

Brie then calmed herself down, trying to convince herself that her sister would receive the medical attention she needed. The officer who put her in the car then returned and got into the drivers seat.

"Well it's not good news for you." He said in a condescending tone.

"No!" Brie exclaimed. "What did you do to my sister, you son of a bitch!"

The officer laughed. "Calm down. She's alive and stable, but she was mad! It took four of us to strap her down, and she had cuffs on! I'm just glad I'm not you right now, and not just because you're going to jail. She was cursing you, and some Daniel guy with words even I don't know. Don't worry, we will ask who he is in good time, but I'd be more concerned about your twin. She's going to be ok, they're taking to hospital to get cleaned up, but she's real real mad right now. Might not be fun sharing a prison cell with her again. Pity, because you two are going to be locked away together for a very long, long, time." Brie could see the officer chuckle to himself as he started the car and she took a last look at the house as they pulled away. Only at this moment did she think about anything other than the health and wellbeing of her sister and everything about her current situation became clear as day, the bars, her handcuffs and the words of the officer all suddenly felt real.

Brie had always been smart enough to know that being rearrested would mean a lot of extra time. To her, it was worth the risk. She felt that they had been treated unfairly with their original arrest and prison sentence and adding to it didn't matter. They were still looking at being inside until old age. She'd always believed that if they were going to get caught, it would happen in the first 48 hours. They'd become old news, and slipping out of the country would be easy enough once it was sorted.

But Daniel had to ruin everything. He had to have called the cops on them, she now realised. She had tried to love him again, to make a future. And his reaction was to take her money and to get her sent back to prison. She understood Nikki's anger at this point. It was all his fault. She overlooked her lying to him, hoping Nikki could understand that this was all his fault, not hers. He'd left them with nothing. No money, no contacts, no associates and no freedom. No wonder she couldn't love him again.

Brie could feel herself getting worked up over it, so she chose to think about the only good thing that she could come up with. Charlotte. She was going to see her again after all. She hadn't dealt with losing her well. She knew that she loved her, and knew that when they came face to face again, she had to tell her. She didn't want sex anymore. Well, she did, but that wasn't all. She wanted to love her, to make their lives better, and to find a way to survive the decades they would spend in the prison system. Just the thought of Charlotte made her smile as they arrived at the jail.

The officer looked puzzled as he took her out of the car. "I've been on the force 12 years, and I've never had a criminal I've arrested, especially not one looking at a long sentence, have a smile like that. Are you crazy or something?

Brie chose not to answer, keeping her thoughts to herself as she was walked into jail.
