Here is the next installment of this never ending story! This is just from Darius' point of view and it's kinda short. But no worries, I will probably update back to back today. Thank you guys again for sticking around! Enjoy!

Chapter 16

Darius was angry. Angry wasn't even the word. He was boiling mad. The bitch was supposed to have killed Phil by now. What the hell was going on? So many questions, so few people to ask. He had tied Fernando up and thrown him into a closet at the warehouse. This was his party now and he wasn't gonna let that old bastard mess it up for him. The van he was in made a hard right unto Yates Avenue. He turned around in his seat and looked at Keely and the boy next to her. They were still knocked out. Damn, what kinda beating did they receive to be knocked out that long? He wondered. He turned back around just as the van stopped in front of the warehouse. The 2 vans behind following them came to a stop in the parking spaces beside them. A thug came out of one of them and tapped on his passenger seat window.

Darius rolled it down. "What the hell is it?"

"Uh, we can't see T-bone and Ryder's van yet. And we're calling 'em and they ain't answering. So I'm thinkin' they got lost or something and I was wondering If me and Mikey should go and get 'em…" the thug said.

"The hell you won't." Darius said and stepped out of the van. "Gimme your phone, lemme try that number again." The thug handed him the phone and Darius said, "Now get the girl and the boy and take 'em in the warehouse." The thug nodded once and proceeded to do as he was told. Darius put in Ryder's phone number. It rang two times and a voice answered, "Hello?"

"Ryder! Where the hell are you and T-bone? You were supposed to be here by now!" Darius yelled into the phone.

For a while, there was silence on the other end. Then finally a voice said, "I'll see you in about 15 minutes Darius. Count on it" And then a click was heard. Darius stared at the phone. That voice. It sounded so familiar. He thought. Who the hell was that? That was not Ryder or T-bone.

Then a random flashback played in his mind. He was in H.G. Wells High school in the hallway. He was dating Keely at this point and he was leaning against his locker waiting for her. Phil came walking around the corner in deep conversation with another brunette girl. They were laughing and she shoved him playfully. Through his laughter he finally said, "Ok then Via. I'll see you in about 15 minutes! Ok? Count on it!" The girl laughed and said, "Ok Phil! You better!" Then Phil turned a corner and he disappeared.

Darius came back to the present time and he gritted his teeth. Phil. He dropped the phone and it broke into pieces on the floor. That son of a bitch is smarter than I thought. He thought and sauntered into the warehouse. Ok then Phil. I'll see you in 15 minutes. And either way, this will be the last time we ever have to see each other. One way or another.
