Chapter 5: Caught Up
Flashback
"Luis! Wait! Please!" Sophie cried out. She ran towards the silent Luis, only to stop when she witnessed the horrific expression on the Spanish male's face. She could tell Luis didn't want anything to do with her.
Luis slowly backed up, gazing at his former friend with wide eyes. He could see tears roll down her cheeks. Even if she brushed them away, more would just take their place.
"You're….crazy." Luis said.
Sophie gasped. Luis had never said anything like that to her before. However, she could understand how Luis would be feeling, as it was only natural for someone to fear a person after they are involved in a cruel act like the one Sophie just demonstrated. Though, Sophie was just upset that Luis even saw it.
With another shake of his head, Luis turned around and began to run, passing by her Corvette. Sophie tried her best to catch up to him, but she knew it wouldn't be any use. Luis was scarred at the moment, and Sophie knew it would be best to just leave him alone.
Sophie slumped to her knees, head hanging low and tears slamming to the ground. She sniffed, and her entire body quivered with fear, hurt, and loss.
"Luis…please come back…"
End of Flashback
The event that took place yesterday ran through Sophie's mind all morning. She had a total of 3 crying episodes that entire morning, and she felt the 4th one coming. As the memories of Luis' hurt and fearful looks came strolling back into her mind, Sophie felt a sharp pain penetrate her heart. Mentally, not physically.
As Sophie laid across the couch, she noticed a picture of her and Luis on the coffee table, with them in the position of them hugging and smiling. Soon, the memory of Sophie and Luis' reunited hug that took place yesterday morning entered her head once more. Despite the picture hurting her so much, she could never pull the picture down, for it meant so much to her.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Though she didn't want to get up, Sophie had a feeling it was Luis coming back for an explanation. She sat up, straightened her pajamas, and walked to the door. Without asking who it was, she unlocked the door and opened it.
On the other side was an African-American woman who displayed a friendly grin on her face. Her hazel eyes sparkled with passion and her black straightened hair flew in the wind a bit. She was dressed in a black spaghetti strap that read "Hot Chick" with a short, jean jacket over it. Her bottoms consisted of black jeans, and on her feet were black boots. The grinning woman wore a golden bracelet on each wrist, golden hoop earrings, and her neck was confined with a matching necklace.
"Sophie! So good to see you again!" the woman said, wrapping her arms around her neck to give her a hug.
Sophie blinked. "Cousin Alicia?" she muttered. She countered Alicia's hug with one of her own. When they parted, Alicia walked deeper into her house and Sophie closed the door behind her.
"…" Sophie looked at her with wide eyes, and Alicia quickly caught onto her thoughts.
"I know you're surprised to see me. And I also know that the judge sentenced me to three years." Alicia said, rolling her eyes as she remembered the day she went to court. Soon, her face displayed a smile. "But they put me on parole! Weird, ain't it?"
"…" Sophie's eyes narrowed.
Alicia's eyes narrowed along with hers, as she knew why Sophie was looking at her like that. "Okay. I slept with the judge." she confessed.
Sophie remembered the day she went to court for her cousin's sentence. Alicia was charged with robbing 9 liquor stores, stabbing 3 people in the eye with a fork, and was proven guilty with possession of weed, cocaine, and Crystal Meth. Though, Alicia denied she ever used any of it. Sophie wasn't surprised that Alicia used her body to get what she wanted, as she took great pride in it. Besides, Sophie did remember Alicia and the judge playing eye tag.
"So, you just woke up or what?" Alicia asked, noticing that she was in her pajamas.
Sophie shook her head and looked down a bit. Alicia noticed this as well and titled her head to the side. "Something I said?" she asked, her voice sounding a bit concerned.
Sophie soon lifted her head up and shook it. "It's just…something that happened yesterday." Sophie answered. "I don't want to talk about it."
Alicia, not knowing what was wrong with her relative, just shrugged her shoulders and walked into the kitchen, wanting to quench her hunger. Sophie walked back to the couch and positioned herself in the same fashion as before. She was glad her cousin was here, as she now had company to make her feel better.
"Sophie?" Alicia called out. Sophie's name was stretched, which meant that Alicia was curious about something.
Sophie lifted her head up just a bit. "Yes?" she replied. By the sound of her cousin's voice, she knew it had to be something bad. Honestly, Sophie couldn't find anything that was wrong.
Alicia's footsteps made Sophie sit up to look at her. As soon as Alicia fully revealed herself, Sophie's eyes widened, and she felt a lump form in her throat. With her right hand, Alicia held up a rifle; the same rifle Sophie used for her very first assignment. Alicia gave a curious look to Sophie, who just gave her a blank expression right back.
"What is this?" Alicia asked in a sing-song voice.
Sophie couldn't do anything but stare. Her mouth went dry, and her mind went blank. Though, Sophie had the strangest feeling that she could actually tell Alicia what was going on. Repeat: tell Alicia what was going on. Probably because Alicia has been in the criminal business for a very long time, and she could probably understand what she was going through. After all, they were all family.
"Chris, the chief's putting you and me on the field." Leon said, dropping a tan folder in front of the quiet Chris.
Chris grabbed the folder. His eyes scanned the text, which its letters formed the name "Sophie Watkins". He opened it and saw all the information that was about the woman. Full name, birth date, age, etc. Everything was in order.
Closing the folder, Chris let out a sigh. "What areas are we searching?" he asked Leon.
"All over Los Serene." the blond answered.
"Everywhere?"
"Everywhere." Leon repeated. By the sound of his friend's voice, he knew something was wrong. "What's up?"
Chris shook his head and raked a hand through his head. "Nothing. Just stressed." he answered.
"Still thinking about Jill?" Leon asked, smirking behind Chris' back.
"I wish." Chris said, letting out a light laugh. 'No you don't.'
"XAVIER IS KIDNAPPED!!" Alicia yelled at the top of her lungs.
As Sophie pulled on her shirt, she sighed. Sophie knew that Alicia would get mad, but she didn't know her cousin would try to burst her eardrums.
"Please stop yelling." Sophie pleaded.
"How can I stop yelling!! Your brother is kidnapped!! My cousin is kidnapped!!"
"Alicia please, calm dow-"
" You know what? I bet it was D-Ray! YUP!!" Alicia yelled.
"D-Ray? No, it wasn't-"
"Yes it was! I know it! You just won't nothin' 'cause D-Ray told you not to snitch!" Alicia said, nodding her head in a know-it-all fashion. "But don't worry, Sophie. We are going to tear his ass up!!"
"Alicia, no!"
"You got some more guns? Where they at!?"
Despite Sophie's many attempts to talk Alicia out of surprising D-Ray at his hangout, Alicia still loaded the guns Sophie supplied her with. Well, actually, Alicia supplied herself with them, along with ammo and cases.
The two cousins were sitting in Sophie's car, which was parked right outside of De-Ray's place. Alicia was loaded with Twin Glocks, while Sophie sat quietly in the passengers seat with a her Twin Desert Eagles in her lap, along with a few magazines.
"Alicia. For the last time, D-Ray did not tak-"
But before Sophie could finish her sentence, she saw Alicia already trotting up to the man's house, which was a one story bungalow. Trash was seen gliding across the grass, and a pit-bull was seen sleeping in its house, oblivious to the girls' presences.
Sophie gasped. Shoving the pistols in her pants, she hopped out of the car and ran towards her furious cousin, who was began banging on the door. Sophie constantly tapped on her shoulder to try and reason with her, but Alicia's rage temporarily clouded her from her mind.
When Alicia stopped attacking the door with her fist, the locks on the door began to unravel. When the door was finally open, an African-American man stood on the other side. He was dressed in a black, stained wife beater, baggy black and white jeans with a bit of his boxers showing, his feet were concealed in a pair of Nikes, and a black do-rag was wrapped around his cornrow styled head. His muscular arms were designed with tattoos, and various rings were placed on some of his fingers.
Sucking his teeth, he looked the girls up and down. "What cha'ya'll want?" he spat. When he looked at the rifle, his previous annoyed face turned into a shocked one.
"Where is he!?" Alicia demanded, lifting her rifle even higher.
The man lifted his hands and shook his head. "Whoa! Watch where you pointin' that thing."
The man stepped aside while he watched Alicia storm in and Sophie calmly enter D-Ray's house. He felt the do-rag wearing man's gaze upon her and turned around to him. She found him looking at her with a flirty expression, licking his lips while he gazed at her up and down.
" How you doin', shawty? " he asked, grinning.
Sophie moaned in disgust, but made sure to keep it in a low tone. With just another disgusted look, she turned back to Alicia's direction.
Alicia stood around a table full of mean-looking, gruff, laid-back men, who seemed to be having a game of cards. They turned around to her, while only a few turned to look at Sophie. It appeared the rifle in Alicia's hands didn't frightened them, as they were armed with guns of their own. The majority of men at the table were African-American, with the exception of a few Hispanics and Caucasians.
"What the hell do you want?" asked one of them.
"Where's Xavier!?" Alicia shouted through his ears.
"Who?"
"Don't play dumb!" Alicia spat back, cocking her rifle. "Or I will shoot!
"Stop yelling in my house." came a slightly deeper voice. Everyone turned to the doorway that lead to a bedroom. There, standing in a black half-buttoned shirt, blue jeans held up with a black belt, and black and white Adidas, was another African-American. He had brown eyes, a slight goatee, and a shaven head.
"D-Ray? You know this girl?" asked a Caucasian man, pointing at Sophie.
D-Ray walked a little closer, never taking his eyes off of an angry Alicia. "Yeah. And you should too." D-Ray stopped walking when he was right in front her. "It's Alicia."
"WHAT!!" all the rest of the men yelled, which made Sophie cover her ears.
"DAMN!! Her hair grew!!" one of them commented.
"What she doin' out of jail!?"
Alicia shook her head and shoved the rifle at D-Ray's neck, which made the other guys jump up and get a grip on their guns.
"Where's Xavier?!" Alicia demanded.
D-Ray looked her up and down and quirked an eyebrow at him. "Who?"
"Xavier?! Sophie's brother?" Alicia answered, pointing in the direction of Sophie. When Sophie felt D-Ray's gaze upon her, Sophie stiffed up a bit. But it was really the do-rag man that scared her the most, as he constantly made moves on her the while time they were there.
Taking his gaze off the shy woman, D-Ray directed his attention back to Alicia. "I don't know what you're talking about."
As Alicia shoved the rifle further, the men reacted by pointing their guns at Alicia. Seeing her cousin was outnumbered, Sophie pulled out her Desert Eagles and pointed one of them at the group and the other at the do-rag wearing man, who quickly lifted his hands up.
"I don't have Xavier. The reason why is because I went to Germany to visit my fiancé." D-Ray said. He soon got a little closer to Alicia's shocked face. "And I just got back."
"…" Alicia's eyes were wide. So was the blush on her face made out of embarrassment.
'Why, Alicia? Why?' Sophie thought.
"Alicia!! What's wrong!?" Sophie asked, clinging onto the car seat for dear life.
Alicia was mad. She was mad out Xavier being kidnapped. She was mad about making a scene at D-Ray's house. She was mad at the world. Alicia was going 65 mph, just barely passing by other cars. Though, her speed made other cars crash into each other, and even caused explosions. Sophie knew this would cost her. Not Alicia.
Suddenly, Alicia's foot stomped onto the brake. The screams of Sophie were heard throughout the vehicle. With many twists and turns made for the car to halt, it finally came to a stop in a remote location, which was just a one way street surrounded with trees. Tire tracks were printed all over the ground, as in the fashion of a tattoo.
Sophie cracked open the door. "Ali-"
Alicia kicked Sophie out of the car. Her own car. Sophie's collapsed to the ground, rolling over just once. At the sound of the car door slamming, Sophie looked up to see Alicia's apologetic face.
"I'm sorry, but I've got to go somewhere! I'll come back, I swear!" With that said, Alicia gave her the Desert Eagles and two magazines. Just two.
Sophie soon saw Alicia driving away. Driving away with Sophie's Corvette. Once Alicia was a great distance down the road, Sophie got back on her feet.
Only trees kept Sophie company, as she looked around to find a way to get out of there. The only thing she could do was go down the road Alicia previously went down, as she saw no other way out. At least she was alone, with no one to bother her. No noise to disturb her. No bullets to barely miss her.
'Still, I have to get home. At least before-'
"BSAA!!" shouted someone as a huge light flashed in Sophie's direction. "Don't fucking move!!"
Poor Sophie. Let's see what happens in the next chapter, which will be up shortly. Thank you all!
