“We’re looking for her. Timothy, my mom, my dad…they’re all dead.” There was no way around it, I had to tell him. “She wasn’t there when I got there and I don’t know where she is.”
“There were two other men with them. One of them was the one that stabbed me when I opened the door. I tried, Ky. I tried to save her but I couldn’t move. They went into the living room, got Ingram, two of them took Ingram out of the front…then I don’t know.”
“Ky,” Iron said as he popped his head into the room. He didn’t have to say it, I could feel that something was wrong.
“Go,” Chris whispered as he sensed my hesitation to leave him.
I squeezed his hand and walked out of the room. Iron was already five steps ahead of me heading toward the elevator.
“Tell me you found her?” I asked, a desperate need for everything to be alright clinging to my tone.
“They had her at a motel. Mouse, B-ry, and Mason went in but then they were able to get out through another room. My guess was that they were waiting for…the head guy to come back.” I could tell he wasn’t sure what to call him. I was following along with no problem.
We stepped into the elevator and I waited for him to finished the fuck up already. Once the doors slid closed and we were alone in the metal box, he turned to me, a somber look on his face.
“They were attempting to get her down the stairs and—”
“No,” I said seeing the whole thing happen in my mind.
“Calm down, brother. We got her, she’s on her way here. I don’t know how bad it is, but she fell down almost a whole flight of stairs.”
“Fuck,” I said and tears filled my eyes. “Fuck!” I threw a punch at the metal wall. “No. No. This can’t be.”
“Ky, she needs you calm. She was still breathing when the ambulance showed up and her vitals were good.” His phone dinged the moment we stepped off the elevator. He pulled it out and checked the text as we moved forward. “She’s here, let’s go.”
Our feet pounded on the cheap floor as we navigated the corridors. Mouse came into view first, his face a mix of sadness and pain.
“Where is she?” I barked out.
“They just took her back. She passed out on the way here. Fuck. It was all my fault. I’m sorry.”
I rested my hand on his shoulder. I didn’t blame him. Hell, if he hadn’t have gone after her then I might have never seen her again. She had to be okay, I wasn’t going to think any other way.
“You got to her, thank you,” I said then dropped my hand and looked around for someone that could give me some information.
“Excuse me?” a nurse said as she approached us. “I’m looking for someone named, um, Mr. Mouse.” Her face conveyed her confusion.
“That’s me,” Mouse said stepping out in front of all of us.
My eyes cut to him and though he couldn’t see it, I had a look that was threatening to show irritation and anger.
“Miss Ingram is asking for you. She’s awake. Are you family?”
“I’m her brother,” I said stepping up beside Mouse.
“Ingram is awake, alert, and stable. The baby is being monitored and everything looks good. I’ll let the doctor tell you more. However, she is in labor right now. She’s asking for…I’m sorry, Mouse?” I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You go, she probably doesn’t know you’re here and all,” Mouse said taking a step back.
“Yeah, okay.”
I followed the nurse and once Ingram came into view, I ran to her side.
“Thank fuck you’re okay,” I breathed out as I hugged her the best that I could.
“Ky—oh! Oh! Owie!” Her body knifed forward and sweat dotted her brow.
“It won’t be long now, Ingram,” The doctor said popping up from between her propped up legs.
