"Like this, you watching?" I repeated as I showed Nico what to do. "You're not watching, I don't want to give it to you then you end up shooting your dick off on accident because you're not paying attention."

"I am!" He laughed. "Alright here."

"You ready Nico?"

"What are you doing?" We heard whilst the door burst open, making us both jump. In that same moment he accidentally pulled the trigger and shot the wall.

I shook my head and looked over at Helena who stood with her arms crossed over her chest unfazed by what had just happened. "Shit baby don't sneak up on us like that he almost shot you."

She rolled her eyes and walked over to us. "I told you already. I don't want him playing with guns." She said as she grabbed the gun from him.

"I'm right here nothing's gonna happen to him, ain't that right Nico?" I said nudging him a little making him nod yes quickly. "Yeah mommy, I'm not stupid."

"Caine where are you?" I asked

"I'll be there soon." He said trying to rush me off the phone. "How long is soon?" I asked, irritated as I leaned against the phone box whilst looking at our target.

"He keeps staring at me, like he knows something." I heard him sigh loudly. "He don't know shit just relax, I'm on my way." I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Ok. I love you."

"Love you too baby girl." I smiled to myself and looked up to see him leaving. "Wait! He's leaving, I told you this wouldn't work, you should have came when I first called you now-" I gasped as I heard a loud beep letting me know he had hung up.

I bit my lip nervously as I tried think of something that would stop him from going and just like that luckily I noticed that he had dropped his wallet. "Excuse me sir. I think you dropped this." I said running after him.

"Thanks beautiful, can I buy you a drink to say thank you." He smiled and I cringed at the thought of him liking me. "You already said it but ok."

"Ok?" He repeated happily leading us to the bar. "Yeah, I'll have the same again."

An hour had passed and I was sure he was trying to get me drunk. "Oh shit is that the time. I gotta go-"

"Wait." I quickly hugged him and looked over his shoulder outside to the parking lot. "I really gotta go." He said trying to unwrapped my arms from around him just as Caine's car pulled up.

He was about to turn around and walk out and I panicked, I stood on my toes and kissed him and held it for as long as I could.

"See you around." I said biting my lip at him as he walked out the restaurant slowly looking back at me a few times before reaching the door.

I saw Helena kiss him but I knew I couldn't get mad about it, she was doing what she had to do to help me. I watched as he made his way over to his car before making a move.

"Where's my money Jerry?"

"I don't know what you're talking about please don't hurt me." He trembled, gripping the steering wheel.

"You don't know what I'm talking about? Did I stutter? I want my fucking money!" I yelled.

"Here, eat it."

I was currently tied to a chair in the bottom of some bodies basement, I was being held her by theses two guys, their faces were hidden so the only way I identified them is by the shirts they were wearing. I figured the one in the blue shirt was the leader.

"Dumb bitch." He spat and I started laughing to myself. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

"What's funny?" The one in the blue shirt asked me, I ignored him and continued smirking. "Why is she laughing?" He asked the other one, who shrugged and walked over to me.

He grabbed my face roughly to make me look directly at him. "Hey, la cucaracha why the fuck are you laughing?" I rolled my eyes at his little racial slur.

"Because Caine is going to kill you and I just can't wait to witness it." I smirked.

"You hear this shit, Caine's coming to kill us. Ooo I'm so scared." They mocked. "Yeah right like he's really gonna-"

"I told you." I mumbled watching as the life drained from their bodies. "Can you untie me now?" I asked Caine angrily. Once he untied me I stood up and popped him on his arm. "Owe what's that for?" He hissed holding where I had just hit.

"What took you so long?"

"We was hungry so I stopped off for something to eat." I gasped and he started laughing. "I'm playing baby, come lets get out of here."

"Mommy!" Nicki laughed running over to me. "Not now Nicki, mommy's really tired." I sighed as I threw myself down on the couch and she ran off sadly.

I looked around and noticed that I hadn't seen the nanny yet. "TINA! TINA! TI-" I kept shouting her name until she appeared in front of me. "Yes ma'am?"

I pointed at all my shopping bags on the floor. "Put all this away." I told her.

"Oh miss Helena I wanted to talk to you about Nicki's birthday-" my eyes widen and I quickly sat up. "I didn't miss it did I?" I asked in a panic.

She shook her head slowly. "No... It's next week. I was talking to her and since she's about to be five I thought maybe she could have a party." I nodded and reached for my purse. "Okay. Here, get everything you need."

"Don't you want to know what I'm doing first?"

"You said a party right? So go buy party stuff." I waved her off. "Okay." She started to walk away but I stopped her. "Tina wait! Is Caine back yet?"

"No not yet." I pouted and closed my eyes so I could take a nap.

"Mommy I don't want to go!" Nico whined whilst tugging on my arm. "Nico stop it!" He finally let go. "But why do we have to go?"

"Because I said so!" I yelled. "Why are you not coming with us?!" He yelled back. "Because I have to stay here and make sure everything is okay. Come here." I explained.

The truth was Caine was at the top of his game, and when you're at the top you make enemies, a lot of enemies, people that don't want to see you win.

For the safety of our children we both agreed that it would be best to send Nico & Nicki away for a while.

"Don't worry, everything's going to be fine Uncle Marcus is going to meet you at the airport as usual and take you to your grandmothers.I love you." I told them. "Love you too mommy." Nico replied.

I looked over at my baby girl who had said nothing the whole ride over to the airport. "Nicki. I love you."

"Ok." She said with no emotion.

"Marco! Q! It's Caine, they got him in a drive by." Caine's younger cousin Ace yelled as he ran into the house located a couple blocks away from where Caine had just been shot.

Both Marco and Q jumped up, grabbing their guns and followed Ace to Caine's body. "Ace what the fuck happened?!" Q yelled as they continued to run.

"It happened so fast! One minute we were laughing then the next this red car pulls up. Caine told me to run so I did but then I heard gun shots." Ace explained, with tears falling down his face. At just 15 he was the youngest in the crew and this was the first time he had been in a situation like this before.

"Shit!" Q exclaimed once they reached the house Caine was shot outside of. He walked over to Dean who was trying his best to keep Caine alive.

"Caine stay with me brother, come on. Breathe." Dean coached, rocking back and forth. "Please Caine!"

"It's too late. He's gone."
