"You hungry," he asks pulling away from me " yes," I say.
" I'll get mama get you something to eat," Gio said walking towards the door. I look around the room not seeing my clothes or phone.
"Mama is going to the restaurant across the street to grab you something," he says.
" Where's my stuff," I ask.
" I had a guard take them home," he said.
" I need my phone to call the twins," I say. He walks up to me grabbing my hand.
" Love," he says, sitting on the side of the bed.
" We weren't able to get in contact with neither of the twins or Trey last night," he says
. " What do you mean that the twins or Trey didn't come home last night," I say.
" The driver that was with them last night. Said there was a shooting in the club and they lost them," he said.
" I knew I shouldn't have let them go," I say leaning back in the bed. Gio rubs the side of my arms
" I have men looking everywhere for them," he says.
I breathe in and out calming down " bring them to me when you find them," I say.
" I will," he said kissing my forehead when Victoria, Micheal and Mrs. Lilly comes on.
" Honey I got a variety of things," she said placing the food on the tray next to the bed.
" Thanks," I say looking at Gio.
" I have everything under control," Gio says kissing me on the cheek. He gets up walking over to his dad.
" Here you go sweetie," Victoria says placing a plate in front of me.
" Thanks," I say picking up a fork. " I'm going heading out," Gio said walking around giving hugs and kisses.
" Be careful," Victoria says. " I will," he said.
" I'll be back later on. Guards are standing outside of your room," he says before he leaves.

I walk out of the room looking at the two guards.
" When there is nobody in this room when a doctor, nurse or anyone else you are to be present in the room with her," I say.
" Yes sir," they say. I walk to the ICU when m phone rings. " Speak," I say.
" We checked the cameras after the shooting. Trey took Brandi and ran across the street, while one of the guards took Brandon to the back of the club. He hit Brandon upside his head then thrown into the back of a black van. A couple of minutes later Brandi and Trey meet the guard behind the club where Trey gots jumped and they both got thrown in the back of the van, " Dom said.
" Where was Emma when all this happened," I ask.
" She jumped in the van a couple of blocks from the club," he said.
" Find her," I say before hanging up. I walk into the ICU heading to Tisha's room.
" The baby seems fine but with the amount of blood she's lost could affect her pregnancy," the doctor says.
" Okay," Angel says the doctor walks out. I walk over to the bed kissing Tisha on her forehead.
" Did she wake up yet," I ask " just to eat then went back to sleep," he said. I take a seat next to him, " it was a seat up," I say.
" What," Angel said with his face twisted up.
" Emma set us up," I say getting angry.
" Where's that b***h," he asks.
" I have people looking for her," I say.
"Damn at least the twins are fine," he said shaking his head.
" We can't find them or Trey," I say.
" What," Angel says." Dom looked at the camera and said she hopped in the car," I say.
" f**k," he says. " Yeah," I say leaning back in the chair.
I get up out of the chair " I'll talk to you later," I say getting up from the chair. I pull out my phone calling papa.
" Yes," he answered. " We need to talk to Emma's parents," I say.
" What's going on," he asks?
" Emma was caught on camera leaving with the people that took the twins and Trey," I say.
" I'm on my way down," he said. I wait at the entrance of the hospital when I see someone get pushed out a car and the car drives off. I run out the front entrance picking the person off the ground to see that it's Trey.
" Trey," I say grabbing his face. He opens his swollen eyes " boss," he says before passing back out.
" s**t," I say walking into the hospital with him.
" Vonnie what happened," papa asked.
" They threw him out of the car then drove off," I say going to the front desk.
" I need him taken to the ER," I say to the receptionist. With her head down she says " you need to walk past the sliding door and make a left to get to the ER," she says.
Papa slams his hands on the counter " little girl you have two minutes to get a stretcher over here before I make you lose your job," he says.
She looks up at us " sorry Mr. Ricci I'll go get one," she said flying out of her seat.
" Damn, these rude children," he mumbled.
" Its okay old man," I say. He huffs at me when the receptionist and a nurse with a stretcher. After helping put Trey on it " come on," I say walking through the door.
We get in the back of the car " to the house," I say to the driver. I pull out my phone calling Danny " yes," he says.
" Trey is in the ER I need for you to stay until he gets up," I say.
" I'm on my way," he says.
" What the f**k is going on," papa says leaning his head back.
" We have rats and they are selling our whereabouts to people," I say getting angry.
" Calm down boy before you hurt people that we need answers from," he says. I breathe in and out calming down relaxing in my seat. After a thirty-minute we walk into the house " morning sir," Alex says opening the door.
" Morning Alex can you send both Jeffrey and Mary to my father's office," I ask.
" Yes sir," he says then leave we walk to the office. I walk over to the minibar pouring two glasses of whiskey. I hand papa a cup when someone knocks on the door.
" Come in," I say. " You wanted to see us," Jeffrey say walking in holding his wife's hand.
" Take a seat," papa says after they sit down. I walk in front of the desk " have you spoken to Emma this morning," I ask.
" No," Jeffrey says rubbing his wife's hand
" Two of my guest haven't come home last night and there not answering their phone. Can you call her to see where they are," papa ask?
" Yes," Jeffrey said pulling his phone out he dial the number and it rings then go to voicemail. He tries again but it went to voicemail.
" She's not answering," he says.
" Can you tell me when she does call so we can talk to my guest," I say.
" Yes anything else," he asks " no," I say. They leave the office " we need to find out whos she's working for," papa said.
" Yes I'm going to search her room," I say. I gulp down my drink then place it on the desk.
" I'll see you in a few," I said before walking out of the room. I go to the kitchen taking the side steps to the basement. Where some of the maids live.
" You know Emma ain't here," I hear one of the girls say. I stop listening to the conversation " really, a couple of days ago she's been talking about how she meet this dude. He had a way for them to get money fast and she'll never have to work again," the other girl said.
" Well, I hope it a lot. Knowing we work for the Ricci gives us money and protection." the other girl said.
" Yeah let's get back before Alex comes looking for us," the other girl. I wait a couple of seconds before going farther. I walk down the dim hallway to the last door. I push the door open to see a small room with bare walls. I walk in closing the door there were papers throw everywhere. I pick them all up taking a seat on the bed. I look at each one seeing the same phone number appear on. I put one of the papers in my pocket. I go through her dresser seeing no clothes. How didn't we know I though going to the closest. That was empty too I look under the bed to see a box. I place it on top of the bed opening it to see a bunch of paper with the same number and different locations.
