The walk to the alter of the Catholic church seemed like along one to Carly. But it had always been that way. The distanceto the altar wasn't very far but with a heart as heavy as Carly's the walk seemed to take forever. She herself was not a Catholic but as part of agreement with to get the church to accept money from the gang each member had to make confession once a month. No one found it too helpful seeing as the only real Catholic had been Natalie, and she herself had pretty much raised with out a denomination.
When she reached the front of the alter she took the holy water and made the usual rights then entered the small booth. "Bless me father for I've sinned it has ben one month since my last confession," she said to the priest.
"What have you done my child," the priest asked.
"I've sold drugs and," Carly said pausing a moment. " …helped torture two people."
"I see and do you feel bad about this?" the priest asked
Carly thought about what had been asked and let out a quiet almost in audible sigh. "No I don't," she said. "They were bad people and me my family we punish bad people."
"Why not let the police handle them," the priest asked.
"The police!," Carly said in anger. "The police are corrupt and they put my Sam in jail."
"Not all of the police are like that my child," the priest said.
"Wake up father the cops don't give a damn about the people in this neighborhood," in a matter of fact tone. "You know what they call homicides in this part of the city even the kids. NHI's no humans involved." she said. "Besides my family and I take care of this neighborhood just like we'll take care of the bastard that took my Sam away."
"So you want revenge do you," the priest said.
"Yes," Carly said calmly.
"My child the good lord says vengeance is his," the priest said.
Carly let the priest words sink in before replying. "May the lord takes to long." She said a hint of venom in her voice.
"Very well my child say a hail Mary on your way out and you shall be forgiven," the priest said.
"Thank you father," Carly said and left the small booth said her hail Mary and placed a stack of five one hundred dollar bills into a collection basket on the way out to David's car.
"You ok little cuz," David asked noticing the look on the brunettes face as he started the car.
"Just take me to see my baby," Carly said looking out the window.
"Alright kid," David said putting the car in gear and began wheeling down the streets.
As they moved through the traffic Carly took notice that song coming from the stereo That Smell Lynard Skynard. "You know I never figure you for a fan of this type of music," she said.
"Well I'm from a part of South Carolina where Freebird is treated like the national anthem," David said.
"Yeah but still its weird that you have this song on the same Cd as Bone Thugs and Tupac," Carly said.
"Hey I have some Jodeci and Lil Jon on here too," David said with a laugh.
Carly laughed and thought about the tall brown skinned man who over the past year in a half had become like second brother to her. Teaching her all his skills then a thought occurred to her. "Dave I was just thinking you're smart. And you're good at patching people up, writing and music and you're almost as good mechanic as Sam so.."
"Why, be a gangster," David said
"Yeah," Carly said.
"Well kid its like this we Pucketts have a bunch of skills that alow us to have normal jobs we just like to live on the edge except for Melanie she's freak," David said. "And rather you admit or not you have always had that streak even before you and Sammie started dating, we just brought it out."
Carly thought for a minute about what the young man who had adopted her as family letting his words digest and said, "You know what you're right."
"Almost always am," David said.
Hours later Carly found herself alone in the visitors room of the prison waiting for the guard to escort Sam into the room. She hated waiting for Sam it was the waiting that made nervous wondering how Sam was. The million thoughts were running in her head stopped as the door opened and Sam walked into the room.
When Carly saw the love of life all the color drained from her face. Sam was sporting a very large black eye and few small cuts on the bridge of her nose bottom lip and cheeks. And a large bruise on her left cheek.
"Oh Sam!" Carly said running up a squeezing Sam's rips tightly and kissing her before resting her head on the shorter girls shoulder. Letting out a small whimper and few tears.
"Ugh its ok Carls just don't squeeze so hard," Sam said feeling a sharp pain in her bruised cracked ribs hidden under prison issue tan scrubs. "Lets sit down ok," Sam said feeling Carly nod against her shoulder.
When they sat Carly reached across the table and grasped Sam's hands tight. "What happened," she asked a few tears in her eyes.
"I fell down some stairs and hit my on the railing," Sam lied
"Don't lie to me Sam you know that doesn't work on me," Carly said. "Now what happened."
Sam sighed. She knew Carly was right the brunette girl could always see through her lies. "A few of Manu's girls tried to get a little "friendly" with me," Sam said.
"Did they… you know," Carly said afraid that what had happened to her had happened to Sam.
"Rape me. No way I'm nobodies bitch but yours," Sam said.
Carly felt her blood boil. Knowing that their enemy had gotten to Sam made her livid past the point of no return. "That son of a bitch !," Carly cursed. "When I get my hands on him I swear to God I'll-"
"No!," Sam said cutting off Carly's rant.
"What!" Carly asked confused.
"No more revenge, no more torturing people, just no more!," Sam said frustrated.
"What do you mean that bastard hurt you he killed Natalie and you want me to let him go?," Carly said heatedly.
"Carly listen to me you're going too far with all of this," Sam said. "Maybe we all are."
"What do you mean we do what we do to help our neighborhood," Carly said.
"Carly how many dealers pimps and pedophiles have we put in the hospital," Sam said her head dropping
"I don't know hundreds," Carly deadpanned.
"And after all the beatings tax's and death threats have we ever made a real difference," Sam said. Carly paused she couldn't come up with an answer. "Exactly we haven't."
"So what do you want me to do Sam huh turn my back on our family and just pack up and leave!," Carly fumed.
"Exactly cupcake," Sam said staring directly into Carly's eyes.
Carly scanned the ice blue irises of the blonde girl and saw the unwavering truth in them. "You're serious. Why!,"
"Because I don't want you end up in in cell like me or in a box in the ground like Nat or my mom!," Sam said. "Look Carls I can deal with anything that happens to me or anyone else but if something happened to you… Look I promised myself and Spencer to protect you and as long as you're here you're in danger Manu is gonna keep coming until he gets you and I keep you safe from in here that's why you have to go you can't contact me you just go!."
Sam's words caused a steady stream of tears to flow from Carly's eyes. "Where! And what about you!," Carly said.
Sam cupped Carly's cheek and leaned across the table and kissed her forehead. "Shh remember my plan," Sam said resting her forehead against Carly's. "I put away a few grand you and Dave take it put it with the stash has from selling his bootlegs and stuff go to South Carolina start the business I'll be there when I get out," she said. Sam had put away a little more than ninety thousand over the past year.
"Sam I can't be away from you that long," Carly said. "and what about the guys. There are family."
"Let me and Dave worry about that you just go home and pack," Sam said.
Carly with tears running freely down her alabaster cheeks took Sam's face in both hands and kissed her deeply forcing her tongue into blonde's mouth. The Kiss was filled with a bitter sweet passion. Neither girl broke the kiss until air became an absolute need. When they separated they both stared longingly into each others tear soaked eyes.
"I love you Carly Miranda Shay," Sam said a bit heartbroken.
"I love you too Samantha Anne Puckkett ," Carly said.
The next night Carly David and Frankie said goodbye to there friends and started driving south. David with out Carly's knowledge had given each of their friends twelve thousand dollars a piece. Vega had said he was going to take over his family's auto repair slash tattoo shop. Mandy, Taylor and Cassie decided to go to Kansas and open an auto parts shop. Shorty decided to go to back to Long Beach and open her own sneaker store. KP had decided to go to Georgia to see Natalie's family. David had given her a little extra that night. And that night The peace of the Seattle night was broken by the sound of a mysterious explosion inside the apartment building where Manu was hiding. No one was killed but the police found enough drugs to put him away for a long time. Not even his connections in the department could protect him.
