CH.14 I THOUGHT SHE DIED

~ACE~ POV

When I got up. I asked my Guards who came in my house. They told me it was Mrs. Palm (Akila's mom) I started thinking to myself. '' Does she know where she is?.'' I took a quick shower,then I got changed into a dark gray suit. I walked out of my house into my car. I was already running late. I started driving fast when I started thinking about what I said to Akila. I regretted what I said to her as soon as she left the office. when I got to the warehouse I walked in. I told my main man to follow. When we all into the office I sat down in my chair. I opened up the file that Scott got me yesterday.

ME: Damn I knew I have seen that before. Scott who did all the killings?.

SCOTT: Umm. that would be Black Viper signature.

ME: where is she now?.

SCOTT: umm. Boss she died 2 and a half years ago. I just think Akila likes her signature. that's why she used it.

ME: Yeah. Show me her death report. Scott showed me that it is in the bottom of all the other reports. I looked at it, when I looked at her picture I seen she has a black viper tattoo on her arm.

ME: Did you find anything on Akila?.

SCOTT: No boss, but I know this other hacker that can help. She is better than me. Actually she's the one who taught me so tricks. She is the smartest hacker in the world, but I am after her.

ME: Do you know her number?.

SCOTT: No she don't have a phone, but I will have to write her a cryptic message.

ME: Okay do it, and let me know what she says.

Scott just nodded his head, and walked out. Me and my men was talking about a big shipment coming tonight. We was giving ideas for about 30 mins on how to get it will out being caught.

all a sudden one of my members Gabe came running in like there was a fire.

GADE: Boss th..there be..been. He stops talking to catch his breath.

GABE: Boss there has been a murder last night. Everybody in the city is going crazy.

ME: Why are they going crazy for?. It's just a murder it happens all the time.

GADE: Everybody thanks there is a new assassin in town, but using the Black Vipers signature.

I pick up my phone to call Scott.

ME: Scott are you sure that dead girl is the Black Viper?, because there was a murder where they used her signature.

SCOTT: I can look into it more if me until the end of the day, and I will have you a answer.

ME: Okay, but try to be fast.

I ended the call.

ME: I WANT EVERYBODY LOOKING FOR THIS PERSON, AND YOU BRING HER TO ME.

EVERYBODY: yes boss.

I got out of my chair, and started walking out of my office to go to the main room. I pulled out my phone to text Scott.

ME:( Give me Akila's phone number.) SCOTT:( Okay give me a second.) 2 mins later SCOTT:( Here you go boss (11201)862-25-69. ME:( Thanks)

I walk outside so if she yells at me my men don't hear it.

I don't know why but I am starting to get nerves, and that has never happen to me. I start typing in her number, but it says i already got here number and it under baby mama. I started laughing to my self. I push the call button, and put the phone up to my ear. there was 2 rings, and then she picked up.

AKILA: Hello?.

ME: Akila don't hang up please.

AKILA: What do you want Ace?.

ME: Can we meet I wanna see you and my son's

AKILA: OH I THOUGHT I WAS JUST A GIRL YOU GOT PREGNANT..

After she said that I felt bad I can hear the hate, and sadness in her voice. I just said that stuff because I was pissed.

ME; Akila I didn't mean it please I am sorry. I what to see you guys.

AKILA: I will have to ask Kevin if you can come over.

When she said another mans name all I seen was red. She has another man around my sons.

ME: WHO IN N THE HELL IS KEVIN. YOU HAVE ANOTHER MAN AROUND MY KIDS?.

AKILA: IT'S NUN OF YOUR CONCERN WHO HE IS, AND HE CAN BE AROUND THEM WHEN EVER HE WANTS. AND ACE THESE ARE MY KID'S.

ME: AKI-

AKILA: Do you want to see them or not?.

ME: Yes I do.

AKILA: Okay hold on...... KEVINNNNNNNN...

I had the move the phone away from my ear so she don't bust a eardrum.

Kevin: Bitch stop screaming the kids are asleep, and kara was being fussy.

AKILA: Oh sorry, but the boy's dad wants to know if he can come over to see the kid's

Kevin: um. It's up to you this is your house too.

AKILA: Yes Ace you come over, but tomorrow because if you come now it will be dark when you get here.

ME: Okay should I be there at 4:00pm?.

AKILA: Yeah sounds good see you then.

I didn't get to say anything back, because she ended the call.

I started rubbing my face in frustration. I walk back into the warehouse, and go to wear Scott is to see if he found out if she is alive or not. I open up the door into the computer room. I go up to Scott,and tapped his shoulder. He turned around

ME: Did you find anything yet?.

SCOTT: Almost give me 5 more mins.

I just nodded my head, and started watching him go to work.

I was starting to get bored, so I started playing games on my phone.

5 mins later.

SCOTT: I got something come over here, and look.

I walk over to him. SCOTT: Boss you will not like it.

ME: What you mean I won't like it?.

SCOTT: Watch the video where is two of them, and you will see why you won't like it.

He gets out of the chair so I can sit down. I looked at the computer,and pushed play.

It shows Black Viper with a girl that looks drunk going into a tattoo shop. around 2hrs. later they walk back out. You can see that drunk girl just got a tattoo on her arm.

Then I played the second video, but it was a week later. It shows Viper with the same girl. Viper pushes her into a ally, and the girl has a note. Viper gives her a gun while holding one to her head. The video does not got audio, so I can't hear what she is saying. Vipers puts the gun to her head. Around 3 mins later the girl shoots herself, while Viper calles somebody for a couple seconds. Then she calls somebody else, then she walks off.

After watching the video I got mad. I started yelling

ME: I THOUGHT SHE WAS FUCKING DEAD!!!.

I run back to my office, and call my main men. Within 10 mins. they all was in here.

ME: BLACK VIPER IS STILL ALIVE, WE HAVE TO FIND HER.

SPADE: Why do we have to find her for?.

ME: Because she can help us find Rick Gibson. Since nobody can find him.

ME: Scott did you get ahold of your hacker friend?.

SCOTT: Yes boss.

ME: Well I found Akila, but your friend can help us find Black Viper.

SCOTT: Alright boss I will send her another text.

I just nodded.

ME: You guys can leave and go home see you guys tomorrow after I see my kids.

ALL: Okay boss, have a good night.

I looked at my clock, and it is 10:00pm.

I grabbed my stuff, and walked out of the warehouse. When I got into my car I got a message from Akila.

I unlocked my phone and read her message.

AKILA:( The address is 3454 woods street text me when you are pulling in I will let the guards that you are coming)

ME:( Okay I will let you know. give the boys a kiss for me)

AKILA:( I will)

ME:( Goodnight Akile)

She just left me on read.

I started driving to my house, but on my way I stopped at waffle house. I got me 2 cheese burgers,

After eating them I drove all the way home. I got out of my car, and went into my house. I took bath to let my body relax. About 30 mins I got out, and put on my clothes. I walked out of the bathroom.I didn't even see three people people in my room, until I heard the two little voices I missed. I turned around to be almost knocked down by Brain, and Ryan while Akila sits on my chair.

I give my boys big hugs and kissed both of them.

B&R: DADDY WE CAN'T BREATH. they said while laughing.

I turned to Akila, but she was looking out the window.

ME: What are you guys does here. I thought I was coming tomorrow?.
