Love bugs I know been remiss over the last year and I do apologize for absence. Life was in the way and no that isn't an excuse but its what happened. Now here's an update.

As always please comment and vote but most importantly comment so I know your thoughts. This is a journey for us all. ❤❤❤

Making her way to the safe house Kim began to ponder on what life would've been like had she left the company all those years ago. She created fantasies of having what many referred to as a normal life; being a wife and mother to her boys. However, those foolish thoughts were quickly put to rest as life doesn't give allow a reset moment. Knowing this and living by that rule is what made Kim the woman is she today; willing to do anything if it means keeping her family safe, after all she is her mother's daughter.

As Kim continued her journey she knew that when the time came she'd have to make a decision that would change the state of her family once more, but if it meant keeping her boys out of harm's way then she'd do it with no regrets. She began to reminisce about Ramón and how safe he felt when she and his father came for him; she also remembered how determined he was to help when he learned the truth. A look that silenced her for she has seen that look before in the eyes of the man she calls husband. It is clear Ramón is his father's son and that notion scared her deep within.

She began thinking about her baby and how he is the perfect balance and herself and his father which truly sets the tone for how dangerous he really is. No one knows the darkness she's witnessed residing within Quisy nor would she ever mention it. Besides, she of all people know where he gets his enjoyment for death from hence why she trained him. Cut may be the monster that mauls you, but Quisy is the master such monster rests it's head on awaiting to be pet. Then there's Mir the savior that challenges Quisy daring him to be greater than what he is. Its disturbingly laughable how three people fit so well together yet only two will stand Kim thought to herself.

Fast approaching the hideout, Kim, thought back to her father and how he had the power to end this before it began. However, this is what happens when you seek the approval of the white man-always dancing and singing but never the real star. She didn't hate him but she also didn't understand him. How could a man during a period where strange fruit still hanged be ok with selling his soul for a speckle of power that's imaginary at best. If power is what he wanted then with her mother he would've had it. Black Bird reigns supreme amongst those pale people as they're always wondering how she keeps going after everything they've thrown at her. Sending a traitor to be her husband and killing her child only fueled her drive for justice. We're black women, while our men may roll over belly up we keep going kicking ass and giving names when we're done.

These thoughts gave Kim the solace she needed if she was going to do the unthinkable-many people would be hurt but many more would survive. Her thoughts were cut when she noticed the access point was compromised; Black Bird would've told her if there was someone utilizing the safe house someone must've found one their hideouts she questioned. Knowing that code resets once used she entered into the back exit that very few knew about, but the person she was going to meet was a face she wasn't ready to see.
--------------------------------------------

Ramón heard noise coming from the back and knew that only Black Bird was read in on his location with that in mind he ready his weapon prepared to take the life of whomever stood on the other side. As the noise grew quiet his senses became loud he was ready for meet this intruder even if it meant laying down his life; he'd swore on his mother's "death."

Climbing through the escape chambers Kim lowered herself down landing in the bathroom off the main room. Tip toeing her way to the main room she was stopped by the gun poking the back of her head. Submitting to the will of her capturer she was ordered to turn around.

Turn around nice and slow. Ramón commanded.

I don't know who you are, but I can tell you this after I get through whooping your ass you're going to wish your mother took the extra five second and made your father wrap it up. Kim retorted.

Big talk for someone with a gun tapping on your head; do as I said, and I'll make your death quick and painless. Ramón snapped.

Ok big man you got it. Kim said as she turned around.

MOM!!! Ramón yelled.

Ramón!!! Kim yelled back.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!! They both yelled.

Me?! No what are you doing here I'm hiding out until Black Bird calls me off the bench. Ramón Explained.

I came back because times up and I need to make my move before it's too late for us all; you shouldn't be here if they find out you're working with us that'll mess everything up. Kim responded.

You don't think I know that but how could I go back when they ordered me to kill you and you allowed me to do so? Besides, I have eyes and ears on the inside my cover is intact. Ramón said.

Look, I get it I've done some terrible stuff to last a few lifetimes, but I knew the risks and so did you now I'm not your mother but your senior officer in this war and I say go back. Sit those feelings to the side and get the job done. Baby if they find one reason to think you've gone soft they won't hesitate to kill you son. I don't know that pain, but I do know the pain of being separated from one's child and that my dear is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm not saying stay I'm just saying check in let them see you in person and inspect you and once they're satisfied leave. This mess is about surface, and I need to know you and that little boy are safe; you've done your part now the rest is up to us. Kim deeply expressed.

Give me two days I have some things I need to do beforehand I promise but promise me you'll be safe. Ramón replied.

Fine and I will be safe. Kim returned.

I saw you kiss him what was that about because I can say bye with my words and not my lips? Mir asked Quisy.

Mir, I jumped from Cut to you without ever taking a break and I won't apologize for what you witnessed because it needed to happen, so I could make my decision. Quisy retorted.

Oh, yea and what this decision you made? Mir questioned.

I want you both for reasons neither of you will understand and for that reason I need to step back and focus on helping us stay alive then afterwards work on a relationship. Quisy stated.

Man fuck the bullshit because I'm not the one you know what you want so why not go for it. Mir challenged.

I.. I don't know what you want me to say I said what I had to so please don't pretend to know what I want when I clearly told you what that is. Quisy snapped.

Kiss me. Mir Demanded.

Mir, come on you're making this more difficult than it needs to be which isn't fair to anyone I'm trying to figure things out. Quisy stated.

Kiss... Me. Mir said dangerously low. Show me that your lips are just as conflicted as mind.

Okay. Quisy submitted.

And kiss they shared. One that robbed them of their breath and speed their beating hearts, but it also did something else for Quisy; something he'd hoped wasn't true. He knew then that his heart wasn't just conflicted but selfishly determined to enjoy the cake that was made specifically for him. That cake consisted of both Mir and Cut and with his last breath he vowed to devour them both. Question is would the two survive the realization that the man they love couldn't decide amongst them? Well some love stories are worth dying for.

Cut watched the two from afar and noted that his love would consume his very life if it meant having Quisy on his arm.

Rob and Senior were engaged in conversation when Black Bird showed up with Ny and Mal. She called for their attention and began to fill them in on their next move would be to ensure Kim was granted the time she needed to do whatever it is she has planned. Black Bird got in touch with an old Friend of hers who just so happens to be brilliant in brain surgery and the creator of the kill chips.

Listen up we're getting Cut's father back its time we extract him and while you're at it get that bastard that took my boys I have plans for him that I don't think he'll disagree with. It's high time we take this fight to them. Rob, I need you to ready your troops in the Caribbean; tell them Tarzan never survived the jungle. Black Bird stated.

Will do ma'am. They all said.

Senior, contact our forces in Vatican and tell them where there is smoke there is fire, light the place up; kill everything moving leave nothing to chance. They have pissed me off for the last time. I'll contact our domestic gangs it's time we show them what we're really about I want every police station, courthouse, statehouse, and anything that resemble government on lockdown. Barricade all exit points circle them bastards in, Nate and Keith get in contact with your friends in the sky and jam all signals there shall be no eyes in skies but the ones we put there. The shop wanted war then war we will give them. Black Bird commanded.

Black Bird send me to their headquarters Cut and I can handle it. Quisy stated.

I know you can and you're going soon I've already contacted my friends your flight leaves in 36 hours. Listen to me, when you arrive tear that place up from top to bottom and everything in between. Remember your training honey only you can undo this. And Cut now is the time to get hungry eat every person that comes your way. Mir you're going with Ny I require y'all skills of deception. Mal sit back and relax baby. Black Bird ordered.

As Black Bird closed her meeting her secure phone began to ring but the caller was someone she least expected.

Hello. Black Bird answered.

Sweetie how you been? Black Bird's ex-husband replied.

Other than my arthritis acting up I been good and you? Black Bird returned.

I been great, you miss me? He asked.

Honey you come a dime a dozen a nickel a bunch, no not at all. Black Bird answered.

Baby let's not play this game I know where you are and if I wanted I could have all you wiped out in a matter of minutes. Her ex-husband said.

Negro I am too busy making your funeral arrangements now what do you want because I have to get to the cleaners and have your favorite suit pressed? Black Bird seriously asked.

As these kids say, you don't have the balls. He replied.

Well that's where you have confused with your current wife because all woman and woman enough to drop you where you stand. Now Good-bye, I have to finish these arrangements bust a move sucka if you're feeling bad. Black snapped ending the call.
--------------------------------------------------

Quisy let me talk to you for a moment. Rob stated.

Sure, what's up? Quisy asked his dad.

Look I know you can handle yourself, but this isn't something you've ever dealt with and I telling you to watch your back son. If anything happens to you I don't if I'll ever recover so I need you to be careful take care yourself and keep Cut in line once he sees black that's all he sees. Rob said.

Dad I love you but what you're saying sounds too close to goodbye incase anything goes wrong. I already lost mom and I don't plan on losing you too. Quisy replied.

Oh, don't worry about me my friends in the Caribbean's have been seating on ready to fuck shit up. Hatti especially has been training hard to cleanse their lands of anything white. Rob returned.

Bet we'll be careful I want to see us once this over. Dad what did Momma Joe mean by Tarzan never survived the jungle? Quisy asked.

Guerilla warfare. These white folks no nothing about true war but they're about to learn soon. Treat them like the animals they are. Rob answered.

Dad let's make mom proud and fuck shit up. Quisy stated.

You can bet your bottom dollar on that. Rob replied.
