Tia dragged him over to the corner where no one could hear them "Calm the fuck down" she said, he glared at her "I'm sorry didn't you hear? Joe's dead, so I'm a little pissed" he said sarcastically, Tia sighed "Yeah I heard but it doesn't mean you can go around trashing whatever room you go in" she exclaimed, he rolled his eyes "Tia, don't fuck with me today I'm not in the mood for it"
he said trying not to loose it on her "I'm just saying stop trashing everything, otherwise I'll get pissed and I'll shoot you" she said threateningly, he looked down at her "Fine, sorry" he said once again with sarcasm in his voice, Tia ignored him and they walked back over to the others "Joe just wasn't made for this shit man, he wasn't like us" Bodie said attempting to calm Billy down
"No he wasn't like you you mean.." Billy shouted while turning to face Bodie "...He was better than' you!" he finished, Bodie gave him a disbelieving look and Tia felt a bit awkward "We as good as brothers since we was kids an' you fuckin' go this way, what I'm not as good as you now? Joe was like blood to me dawg, as good as fuckin' blood you too" Bodie exclaimed, they stared at each other for a moment before Billy nodded and sat down next to Tommy "I would like to catch the motherfucker that did this"
he said leaning forward, they all nodded in agreement and Tia headed back to the bar "What's goin' on over there?" Sasha asked, Tia sighed "Their tryin' to figure out who killed Joe" she replied, Sasha nodded and cleared one of the tables while Tia played with her locket "Tia, you okay?" Sammy asked a littlw worried, Tia shook her head breaking the thought she was in "Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired" she lied, he nodded and she took a cloth and spray before cleaning the tables
"We gotta get that motherfucker" Tia heard one of the boys exclaim, she was cleaning the table but moved onto one closer so she could hear their conversation "Well we know where he works, says right here" Billy said motioning to the newspaper in front of him "When we gonna get him?" Heco asked, Tia stopped and looked at them "No point waitin', we'll wait till he comes out and then we'll kill the fucker" Billy said, they all cheered and Tia walked over to them
"What's got ya'll excited now?" she asked acting as though she wasn't previously listening "We know who killed Joe" Tommy announced, she raised her eyebrows "Who?" she asked, Billy pointed to the newspaper and Tia felt her face drop and her hands start to shake "You sure it was him?"
she asked nervously, she suddenly realised her tone and crossed her arms so they wouldn't notice her hands "Well that's the guy who Joe killed, and that's the guys father, some guy in a suit shows up at the home the night Joe get's killed. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the pattern Tia"
Heco said chuckling, she nodded and stood up straight "You guys gonna kill him?" she asked holding back how she really felt "Course were gonna fuckin' kill him" Bodie exclaimed, the guys all made sounds of agreement and Tia then realised Billy was watching her
"You alright baby girl?" he asked noticing her shaking hands, Tia nodded and shoved her hands into her back pockets "Yeah I'm fine" she squeaked, she mentally cursed herself at the slip "Try not to get yourselves killed okay?" she asked though she wasn't really worried about them "Tia..."
Billy started while putting an' arm around her waist, he pulled her agains't him so that his head was facing her stomach "We'll be fine, this isn't our first kill and it won't be the last, were doin' it for Joe" he said looking up at her, she nodded and fiddled with his silver cross necklace "Hmm, kay" she mumbled, Tia ran her hand across his chest lightly as she walked back to the bar
"Hey Sammy were headin' out" Billy said as he and the boys stood, Tia's eyes widened slightly as she knew what they were going to do "See yah guys" Sammy said as they left the bar, Tia felt someone's hands on her ass and she spun around "I'll be over later baby girl" Billy whispered smirking slightly, Tia nodded and pressed her forehead agains't his "Come back in one piece, I doubt that guy will go down easy" she said, he nodded but she knew it was fact her dad wouldn't go down easy,
the many things Tia had gotten from her father was his blue eyes and inner strength, she couldn't lift weights to save her life but she could survive in the jungle if she had to, that's the main trait that kept her alive when she ran away "Later Tia" he muttered, she nodded and watched as they exited the bar before turning to Sammy
"Can I take a day off? Please I need to do something" she begged, Sammy sighed and nodded "Only cuz the place is empty" he said pointing, she nodded and grabbed her stuff out of the box "Thank you, Bye Sasha" she exclaimed as she ran out of the bar,
Tia looked around to make sure the boys had gone before heading home, she knew that Billy would kill her father, but she wasn't ready for that to happen.
Tia stayed in the alleyway in heavy disguise while keeping an' eye on her father, he was walking down the street looking a little stressed and she sighed 'Why did he have to kill Joe?' she thought knowing her father had put her entire family in a very dangerous situation, Tia saw Bodie come up a few feet away from he father and she looked around noticing thhe others, Billy included,
hanging around waiting for Bodie to make his move, Tia tensed and watched as her father spun around knocking Bodie's gun away with his briefcase and then smashing it across his face, Tia stood up straight and the rest of the boys came out of hiding with their guns aimed, they started to shoot and Tia's father ran towards her while dodgin the bullets, he paused and Tia took this opportunity to grab his arm
"Come on!" she exclaimed, Nick Hume felt a little strange but he decided to trust the brown haired stranger, Tia took her fathers hand and thanked god that she was a fast runner, she could hear more footsteps followed by a gun shot behind her, Tia squeaked in surprise but kept on running "Get rid of that" she exclaimed pointing to Hume's briefcase, he hurled it to the side of the alley and found it was easier to run without all the added weight,
Tia dragged him down a more narrow alleyway and could still hear the gang behind her, her heart was pounding agains't her chest and her body was protesting but she knew she had to keep going, for both her and her fathers sake, once they came into a dead end Tia nearly cried while stopping, she looked around the large park before noticing the gate "Come on" she said once again pulling her father, they ran through the gate and Tia dragged him even faster knowing the gang were closing in on them,
Tia glanced behind her and saw Billy leading the rest of the boys 'He was always fastest' she thought turning back around, she jumped over a pile of boxes and they ran through another alleyway, Tia heard the gang laughing and she panicked as her father stumbled into a bunch of boxes causing him to fall "You cant stop" she shouted close to tears, she pulled her father to his feet and a gunshot could be hear,
Tia flinched as the bullet missed her head but she kept running, Tia noticed a door open and she immediatly took that as a way out "This way" she mumbled pulling her father through the open door, as soon as Tia got her father through an' exit door she slammed it shut on the gang "Help me" she demanded while locking the door, Nick helped Tia slide a metal dish holder in front of the door in hopes that it would slow down the gang, they started running again and Nick halted Tia to ask a woman where something was,
Tia groaned as she heard the gang banging agains't the door "This way" Nick said, he grabbed Tia's hand and took the lead by pulling her through a door that lead to a room full of pipes and low ceiling, Tia panted and let her father lead her up some stairs and into a car park "Where's your car?" Tia asked, Nick also panted "Top floor" he gasped catching his breath, Tia nodded and accidentally bumped into a car causing the alarm to go off,
she jumped before gettin an' idea "Okay throw yourself agains't the car and the alarm will go off, it'll distract the boys and they won't be able to hear us as good" she instructed, Nick nodded and he and Tia began setting all the car alarms off, once they reached the top floor Tia took the moment to catch her breath back "Who are you?" Nick asked confused at why the stranger was helping him,
Tia smiled a little knowing he wouldn't recognize her in the brown wig and mask, she was about to reply when the sound of a door slamming open made them jump behind a car and crouch down, Tia peeked out and sighed once she realised it as Tommy, Tommy ran up onto the highest floor and Tia's eyes widened as Nick climbed onto the same level "What are you doing?" she hissed as quietly as possible, he ignored her and carried on crouching through the cars, Tia started hitting herself in the head lightly "What am I doing?" she muttered to herself,
Tia stopped in her hitting and turned to see what was going on, she heard 2 gunshots and jumped while running up onto the high level, she spotted her father and Tommy wrestling on the floor, she gasped and watched with wide eyes as her father beat the shit out of Tommy, on one hand she wanted to help but she knew better than to get inbetween two men, but if Tommy whipped out the gun then she would deffinatly step in,
once they started fighting in the car Tia looked around to make sure none of the other boys were approaching, once she turned back to the fight she jumped and moved out of the way as the red car reversed with the men inside, she noticed it was getting closer and closer to the edge "No" she exclaimed running towards the still moving car, her father jumped out of the car but she knew that Tommy was still inside "Tommy" she shouted, she watched with wide and teary eyes as the car toppled over the edge of the building.
