"Testing....1...2.."

Bobby POV (he finally gets one)

  "Bryheem, where the fuck is Bobby? I swear to fucking God." "Aht aht aht. He's right here." he said flashing the camera on me. "Bobby! Oh my god. I'm so sorry." he said with tears in his eyes. "Don't apologize bab-" "That's enough conversation." "What the fuck do you want?" "You know what I want. For you to come back home and get right to work. I lost a lot of money due to the little stunt that pulled. Come back and everything will be forgiven. I'll even let your little boyfriend go unharmed." he said smiling on the phone. "Fuck you!" Jaylen yelled. "I was trynna do that to you." he said as I felt my stomach churn. "Tick tock Jaylen. I'll give you a week." he said hanging up the phone. 

 "Now we wait." Bryheem said. "Boss you sure he'll come?" "He will. Jaylen doesn't like to leave people behind. Especially not the ones he love." he said looking back at me. "You niggas is mad weak." "I'm weak but you can't break out of those ropes. Come on hulk, transform." he said as everyone around him laughed. "You think you real funny, fucking smoked out cinnamon stick head ass nigga." I said as I earned laughter from his lackies. "Oh look, we have another comedian. OK" he said as I punched me in my jaw. 

 "I hate comedians." he barked. "Them soft ass baby punches. You really are a weak nigga." I said laughing. "Bet." he said putting on some brass knuckles and punching me again. That one kind of stung. "Not so tough now huh?" he said as I spit out blood. "If Jaylen doesn't get here soon, I'm gonna kill this nigga. Then I'll have to kill him for loving this nigga. Let's go." he said as he rounded everyone up. He shut off the light as I was left alone to my thoughts. I meant what I said when I said I would lay down my life for him. Jaylen, please don't come. 

  Jaylen POV

     "Shit! shit! shit!" I yelled as I threw my phone. "This is all your fucking fault!" Prince barked s he stood up. "None of this would've happened if he didn't get involved with you. Now my best friend is fucking kidnapped while your sitting here looking stupid!" "Hold on play boy. That's not the route you want to take." Roman said in a dead serious monotone. "What he said." Dion and Benji agreed as Benji cracked his knuckles. "I understand your anger but I been told him he could leave if he didn't want to get involved." I calmly stated. "So what are we gonna do?" Darren asked. 

  "I'm gonna go get him." "I'm coming with you." "No you're not. We just got you back and besides, it's better if he thinks you're still dead. Otherwise he'd want you back too." I said as he nodded. "I also need someone to take care of all of this just in case." I said as his face frowned up. "Jay stop talking like that. Please." he said tearing up. "I'm coming that's a fucking fact." Roman said. "You can count us in to" Benji and Malika said. "They took my best friend. So I'm on go too." Prince said. "Y'all not about to leave me here. I'm coming too." Dion said as everyone said no. "You have a girlfriend and you're too hot headed. You'll more then likely shoot first and ask questions later. We don't need that." Malika said. 

  "But that's my best friend." he protested. "I know and I'll be fine. Cory and Jade will be there as well. I promise." I smiled at him. "When we leaving?" Prince asked. "Tonight. We have to get down there and figure out where they are holding him as soon as possible." Roman answered. "Well lets go. We booking a flight?" "Hell no. Get in the car." Roman demanded. I sure hope you have spare deodorant and mouthwash for this ride." I groaned as everyone laughed. "I'll be back, I promise." Roman said kissing Darren. It was kinda bittersweet to watch honestly. "Be on the look out in case Bryheem has people here." I said hugging Dion. "Come back to me in one piece. Please." he said squeezing me. 

  "Let's go." Roman said as he grabbed me. Waving to Dion and Darren, I headed out. For the majority of the ride, I kept looking at pictures and videos of Bobby. "Don't worry Jay, we'll get him back." Malika said as she rubbed my shoulders. "He's in no condition to drive. We'll rotate in threes. Prince, you're up next and the Malika. That way we can get some equal amounts of sleep." Roman said as everyone agreed. Just like that, I fell asleep crying. "Wake up sleep head. We're here." Malika said rubbing my head. "Please don't tell em I slept through that whole ride." I said yawning. "Pretty much." she laughed. The conversation was cut short by my brother calling me. "Hello?" "You here?" 

  "Yeah we just pulled in the city." "Good come to mommy house. We already told her what was going on." He said as I mentally groaned. "Jay spare me that shit. You're in danger and we're not losing you again. You or Bobby." He said as I sighed. "OK. Send me the address." I said as he did just that before he hung up. "That's only 20 minutes away. Cool." Roman said as he drove. The rest of the ride was silent.

  "Hey baby. Cory filled me in so let's get to planning. Well first go wash ya ass, all of you." She said pinching her nose up. "We don't even smell that bad." "Don't talk back." Pops said smacking me in the back of the head. I didn't even hear this mf come in. "Good thing we got two bathrooms." "I call dibs on one" Malika said running upstairs.

  "You two can rock, paper, scissors for who goes after me." I said to Prince and Roman as I walked upstairs. Once everybody was fresh enough to my mother's liking, we met up in the dining room. "OK, so start from the top." She said looking at me, well everyone did.  "Well he kinda sprung it on me that he had to leave. Said that it was a yearly convention that he didn't really like to go to but gets picked because of his people skills. I didn't notice the familiarity of his surroundings until he went to the store."

  "Once I realized exactly where he was, I told him to leave immediately. Only problem was, he couldn't because the big boss was there and the meeting was mandatory. So he agreed to leave as soon as it was over. I called Cory to go pick him up but he declined saying that he drove. I still had Cory go there just to make sure he got to  the car safe. Except Cory didn't see him. I panicked until I saw him calling me. Only it wasn't him, it was Bryheem." "The dude who kidnapped you the first time correct?" My dad interjected as I nodded my head.

  He walked away for a little bit and then came back cocking his gun. "Continue." He said. "The only way he'll let Bobby go is if I come back. I have roughly 4 days left to make a decision." I finished. "Jaylen FUCK NO! You're not doing that!" Roman and Cory said at the same time, making me flinch. "You guys I don't have that much of a choice.  Me and Bobby had this discussion as well. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep him safe and vice versa." I protested.

  "We can't lose you again. We just can't. My sister said as her and my mom started crying." "We won't. Fuck y'all crying for. Why did y'all think he came her for? We're doing a 2 for 1." My dad said as everyone looked at him surprised. Except me that is. "We first have to find where Bobby is being kept. This is a big city so we'll have Roman,  Cory, myself and what's your name son?" "Prince." "And prince search around town. Roman since you were around them longest, you probably know certain points of interest or people that can help." He said as Roman nodded. 

  "You 4 will stay here. Jaylen, you have to because who knows what he'll do if he finds you. There might not even be a trade." He said as I sighed. "You have a point because just as much as I'm looking for him, they'll be looking for me." "Ight. So we'll start tonight. For now, ya momma wanted to cook lunch for y'all. Welcome home son." He said as all of them hugged me. "It'll be better once y'all find him." I said as my mom rubbed my head.

"Hey Jay, I kinda want to ask you something." Prince said stopping me as everyone was walking to the kitchen. "Yeah?" "Why did you let Bobby get caught up in this?" I could feel my blood pressure rising but a part of me understood why he was asking this. "I didn't let him get caught up in anything. I actually told him that I understood if he wanted to leave. He was the one that told me that he wasn't going anywhere and that he'd gladly lay down his life for me, no matter how much I protested against that same thought. Y'all have no idea how many times we've actually argued about that." I said sighing.

  "I see. I'm sorry for even asking you that and for how I acted the other day. You didn't deserve that. It's just that I never thought this would even happen to him you know? He never bothers anybody and he minds his business." He said as I nodded. He place his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry. We're gonna find him. I put that on everything." "Thank you." "No problem, now we eat. My stomach is about to collapse on itself." He said as we both laughed before heading to the kitchen.

  "Alright so Cory, you take the north side, Prince, you're going to the west side, Roman you can take the south side, and I'll take the east side. Any objections?" My dad asked as everyone shook thier head no. Roman taking the south side since he actually has a bunch of connections there. My dad handed Prince a set of keys. "Scuff it up and I'll kill you." Guess he knew what was about to be asked. Wait, when did he get another car? "You, stay ya ass here. We'll give you updates as we move. I love you. " he said pulling me in for a death defying bear hug.

  "Don't worry baby. They'll find him.  I'm sure." My mom said hugging me as they all got up to leave. Roman gave me a knowing look, which meant he was about to do a through sweep of the Southside. "Be safe." I said almost to low for them to hear. "We'll be back bro." Cory smiled. Once they left, I pulled out my phone to view the saved video of him:

  "We argued about this all night." I said as my voice cracked while they held me. "My dumb self thought he actually cut the whole thing off at first. I got used to the long beard. He ended the conversation by saying whatever his baby wants he gets, but he just needed to trim it down a little because it was getting annoying." I said laughing as the tears rolled down. I ended up walking the couch and cuddling with my phone before falling asleep.

Bobby POV

  "Wake up princess!" Someone shouted as i felt a liquid being throwing on me. My guard immediately went up. "It was just water scary ass. Just wanted to make sure you was woke that's all." He said laughing. "I'm not finding shit funny though." I responded dryly. "Well that's too bad. Boss just wanted to make sure you was woke. Now that you are, I'm out." He said leaving and cutting the lights off, letting a deep darkness fill the room.

  Shit, I can't even break out if I wanted too because I damn sure can't see shit. Not that I have the energy to either. Its been at least 3 days since I ate anything.  All I can do is think about my baby, the source of my strength right now. Damn I miss him. Guess you can say I got it bad huh. Knowing him though, he's probably blaming himself for everything. I don't fault him for anything. Besides he did give me the option to leave.  I'd do anything to hear that laugh now though.

  "Ah so you're awake." Someone said snapping me out of my thoughts and flicking the light back on. To say I was blind would be a fucking understatement right now.  "Nice to have you with us." Bryheem said smirking as my vision finally came into view. "Fuck you want?" I said as I frowned my face. "Why are you so angry? We haven't even done nothing to you. That's not a nice way to act when you're a guest." He said as u stared at the nigga.

  Just looking at him pissed me off. This was the same man that damn near raped my baby, punched me in my face and has the balls to say he hasn't done nothing to me? Does a fucking cow have udders? "Its been 3 days now and not a word for your boyfriend.  Maybe he doesn't care about you like I thought." He said throwing his hands up. "Maybe it's the fact that he does is what's bothering you." I said laughing. "A funny guy. Joe, show em what I do to funny guys." He said.

  Next thing you know, a cloth was thrown over my face as I was dosed in water. "What was that? I can't hear you. I thought you had more jokes for us. He said as more water was thrown on me." He said as I tried my damnest to preserve my breath.  "That's enough boys." He said as they let up. "Now you know why I hate clowns. Nobody makes a joke out me. Nobody." Coughing, I managed to laugh. "You sound like a little ass boy. "Grown men don't say shit like that."

  "Didn't think our guest would have so much to say. I like it." He said nodding to one of his boys. Next thing you know I felt my chair being hoisted in the air. "Go ahead." He said as I was dunked in a tank of water. When the hell did he even get all this shit? After struggling for 10 minutes (surprised I even lasted this long), he let me up. He said as I was struggling to catch my breath. "Boss I thought we said we wasn't gonna hurt em." "We aren't. You can see that he isn't hurt. We're just having fun.Question me again and you're dead." He said as he cocked his gun, pointing it at his temple.

  "You on the other hand can just relax. We've had enough fun with you today. Let's go." He said snapping his fingers as they all piled out. To think I haven't ate anything in 3 days. Talk about fucking hospitality. "Hey." A girl said as I gave her my attention. "Here." She said stuffing two chicken nuggets in my mouth. I wasted no time eating said food. "Here's some fries." She said stuffing my mouth. "Why are you-" "I don't have much time. Here's some more nuggets. She said stuffing my mouth. Once she was done, I realized that I ate the whole thing. "You full?" She asked as I nodded. "Good. Now I gotta go before they come back." She before quickly leaving.

  Baby, where are you?

Jaylen POV

  "Jaylen how nice to see you. I knew you would've came on your own. I was starting to get impatient." "I'm here so you can let him go." "Eh, I don't think that's a good idea. I think I'll keep you both. He'll make me a damn good amount." "Fuck outta here." I said running up to him and punching him. "You not doing shit to him." I said as he laughed.

  "Who said I already haven't?" He said as i paused. "Let him go boys." He said as they did. Bobby's body just fell towards the ground. "Bobby?! Bobby get up! I said pushing him. I checked his body to see why he still wasn't moving. Upon lifting his arm up, I noticed a hole. Looking on the other side, I noticed another one. "No?!" I screamed as I checked his pulse. "Bobby! No?!" I said crying.  "You killed him." "I didn't say I wouldn't. On second thought,  I don't need you.  You can join him." He said cocking his gun. 

  "Fine by me." I said as I laid beside him. "Good bye Jaylen." He said as the gun went off...

  "Bobby!" I yelled as I jumped up. "Baby calm down. We're right here." My mom said as she, Malika and Jade ran to my side. If you guys were wondering about Talia, my parents sent here away. Couldn't afford her getting caught up. I was in a cold sweat. I quickly pulled out my phone and called everyone. "Any news?" "Nothing here" my pops said. "Sorry J" both Prince and Cory said. "Said they seen em but nobody knows where he went." Roman said as my glimmer of hope dissipated. Its been two days. "We're gonna keep looking." My dad said before ending the call.

  Frustrated, I threw my phone on the floor. This is annoying. I buried my face in my hands. "Hey J, a random number just texted you." Malika said handing me my phone. "Come to the lakefront" was all it said. I quickly went upstairs to get dressed. "Baby your father said to stay here." "Staying here isn't exactly doing anything. I have to move." I said as she nodded her head.

  "Well I'm not gonna stop you. Be careful" she said handing me her keys. I sped my way down to said area. There wasn't any instructions on where to go so I just walked. "I see you got my message."

  "Mario!" I said running to him. "Wish this was on better circumstances but nice to see you kid." He said hugging me. "Please tell me you have news for me." I said as I let him go. "Well I can tell you he's alive. Been having one of my girls make sure he eats. She doesn't have a clue where they're at, so locating him is a bust." "Shit. Why aren't you with them?" I asked. "He needed someone to make sure the money is still coming in. He doesn't really trust them niggas." He said as I nodded.

  "Fuck is he even doing this for?" "Jay you know why. He's been obsessed with you ever since you left. His money hasn't been the same, he's been accusing niggas of stealing and killing innocent people because of that. Why was your boyfriend here? You were long gone." He asked with his brows furrowed. "He had a work convention here. I didn't realize it until later. Funny how karma works huh?" I nervously chuckled.

  I noticed that he kept looking over his shoulder.  "They must not know your here." "That and I'm trying to make sure they're not around. For your protection." He said looking at me seriously. "How'd you get my number?" "I copied when he said he called you. I would love to continue our talk but you have to go. You have to stay hidden and out the way. If I find out anything I'll text you. Go Jay." He said walking away.

  The waiting game continues.......

Took me a minute to write this because I wanted to make sure it was good enough for y'all.
