Chapter 2:
Jerry took me home as the guys went to go find the people that might had something to do with all of this, when we reached home I promised Jerry that if I had anymore episodes I would call him immediately then after he made sure that I got in ok, I slowly trudged upstairs to go get some rest but in the back of my mind I was scared about something happeningto Bobby and the guys, I saw the fear in Bobby's eyes when he saw what had happened to me and I knew that his feeling ran deeper then what it seemed but right now other things mattered at the moment, I sighed in confusion and frustration not knowing how I felt, I knew that I loved him more then words could describe.
I walked over to the bed and laid down figuring that I needed to take care of myself first if I wanted to help anyone one out and thats exactly what I was going to do, I just prayed that it was going to be ok, as I laid there I felt my eyes slowly close in complete exguastion for it had been a very long day, hoping that I could feel Bobby's arms around me soon, I feel into a soundless sleep.
About a hour or 2 later I felt someone's strong and warm hand brush my hair back very gently then I felt that hand stroke down my face very gently, almost feathery like causing me to stir and shiver for a bit of cold air brushed against me, I felt that hand halt its motions making me wish that I hadn't shivered for I was enjoying that soft hand for it made me feel safe.
"Shirin are you awake?" asked a soft, loving voice, my eyes slowly fluttered open and I saw a shadowed figure havoring over me, I sat up and gasped in fear then smacked my head against the other persons head, causing us both to groan in pain.
"Shit Shirin what are you doing?" asked Bobby as he clicked on the light, I stared at him shock as he rubbed his head as well as I for it hurt me as well, I squinted against the sudden light.
"Bobby? god you scared me to death, I'm sorry you just came over me and I wasn't sure it was you, what are you doing?" I asked, he stared at me, his expression undreadable, I arched up my eyebrow in question but he just stared at me then sighed deeply, I started getting worried about what they had found out.
"Bobby what happened? are you, Jack and Angel alright? Bobby talk to me please" I murmured pleadingly, he caught the fear in my voice and brought up his hand and pressed it against my cheek.
"We're all ok, just cant believe it, the shooting out in front of the liquor store might not have been random" he admitted hoarsely, my eyes widened in shock at what he was telling me, I reached out and took his chin in my hand and made him look me straight in the eye, swallowing the painful lump in my throat as I saw the sadness in his eyes.
"A-are you telling me that someone meant to go after her?" I asked, he sighed in frustration then pulled me to him wrapping his arms around me tightly and laying us down on the bed, placing my head on his chest as I shook in fear of someone actually going after Evelyn.
"Why would anyone want to hurt her Bobby? what did she ever do?" I asked, my voice trembling, I felt Bobby just shake his head in confusion at why this was happening, slowly the both of us fell asleep in each others arms, waiting to see what tomorrow would bring and probably give us more answers.
The next morning we got up and went over to the liquour store, hoping to get some answers, Bobby called Jerry having him come over there so we could get some answers, I leaned against the car lost in thought, Angel walked over to me.
"You ok sweetheart?" he asked, I shook my head slowly but then I turned to him with a smile, "Ya I'm just wondering why this is all happening" I remarked and he nodded his head in agreement then we turned to see Jerry drive up, shut his door and walk over to us.
"Ok I'm here whats going on?" he asked, Bobby just kept staring straight ahead and Angel decided to answer him, "We found out last night that what happened to mom might not have been random" explained Angel, Jerry shook his head in disbelief, I turned as the other guys did to see the owner of the store show up, we walked over to him and I saw that theman look like he was about ready to run off and I didn't blame him with the way the guys looking like.
"Can I help you gentleman?" he asked nervously, I looked at Bobby as he leaned against the wall waiting for the man to answer, I gently placed my hand on his, he didn't look at me just took my hand in his.
"Yes sir if we could have a moment of your time, Evelyn Mercer was our mother" explained Jack, the man relaxed a bit then nodded his head in reconization.
"Yes she was a very good lady, I'll miss her very much, please lets go inside get the young lady out of the cold" he offered, Bobby guided me in, his hand resting protectively behind my back, I looked at the inside not believing that Evelyn was shot here, the man brought survelience tapes of that night to watch, I stood next to Bobby as we saw the men come in with guys, I pressed a hand against my mouth to keep from screaming as they walked over to Evelyn after shooting the cashier.
"It doesn't make sense, they already have the money" remarked Bobby, we all watched in pain and shock as the men shot Evelyn without a single shred of remorse, Jack turned away in pain as Angel and Jerry sighed painfully keeping there composure, I gasped and not being able to take anymore, turned and walked quickly outside, not believing any of this, as I stood there taking gulps of air feeling like I was suffocating the door of the store suddenly opened and the guys came storming out, Bobby pissed off beyond all belief.
"That was not gang shooting, that was a execution! they set mom up! the set her up!" he growled out, I stared at him in shock but Jack tugged me along to keep up on the way to the gym as we entered we saw that the game was going on.
"Whats the plan Bobby?" asked Jerry, I was actually curious myself Bobby looked at Jerry in annoyance, "Were winging it Jerry" he answered, Jerry looked at him in disbelief but not surprised.
"Were always winging it" he whined, I giggled, "Were going to get killed" Jack remarked, both Angel and Bobby looked at him in annoyance.
"Whatcha mean WE white boy?" asked Angel, Bobby looked at Angel, "You ready?" he asked, Angel nodded and floated off as Bobby stepped onto the floor as the buzzer went off, he walked over to the ref and took the ball dribbling it on the ground.
"Ya I got the rock now! I got this motherfucker now! what? I got the rock!" he called out, I shook my head in humor at his anticts.
"He's crazy and your in love with a crazy person" I murmured to myself, Jerry shook his head then to my complete shock I saw him hold up a gun causing everyone to jump back by that time Jerry ran out on the floor.
"Woah, woah no need to grab me! this will only take a minute now shut up and listen! my name is Bobby Mercer, some of you probably knew my mother, also you know that she was killed in a shoot out across the street" he explained, telling them who he was looking for and as he explained Jack and I saw a young kid get up and hurry to get out of the gym, Jack and I shared a look then headed after him, we took off after him as Jack called out to him and scared him to run, he ran into the door and bounced back as Jack got a hold of him, he struggled against Jack then Angel came in through the same door.
"You got something to tell my youngster?" he asked, glaring at him as the poor kid shook in his boots, Jack turned to me and with his look told me to go get Bobby, I nodded and went back inside the gym and gestured to Jerry who whispered something to Bobby who looked over at me as I gestered him over.
"You guys have been upstanding citizens, asalamelakum! enjoy the rest of your game!" he concluded, I shook my head laughing as they came jogging over, I looked at him.
"Your nuts Bobby Mercer!" I remarked, he grinned and dropped a kiss on my cheek then we walked over to the others, as Bobby approached the kid he shook even more.
"Bobby this is Keenon! Keenon this is Bobby" introduced Angel, Keenon looked at Bobby who gave him a comforting smile then finally we got the information we were looking for, looking for Damian over at the apartments close by the gym, we walked back to the car so we could go see what kind of information to get.
