By Your Side [XIII]

Ryan

            It took all of five seconds for Phoenix to faint from inhaling the chemical toxin that Ryan covered her mouth and nose with. During his months of preparation Ryan had been researching and reading various articles and books about household poisons. He learned that there are many products people use everyday that contain lethal solutions. Once Phoenix slumped in his arms Ryan threw her over his shoulders and put her in the passenger seat of the caprice. He then bust the windows of her car and shop out before getting back in the car and pulling off. On his way to Jersey he kept looking over at Phoenix. “I hate you bitch, because of you I can’t have my fairytale ending with my prince charming. But that’s all about to change cause you’ve just fell out of a dream and landed in a motha fucking nightmare!” he said as he stared at her. Damn she is beautiful though, Ryan thought. I can see why Desi loves her, got damn if I still went both ways I could have my cake and eat it too with her pretty ass! “What the fuck am I thinking?” He asked his self out loud.

            Ryan was so amped to get Phoenix to the secluded house that he was doing 90 MPH, he wanted to hurry up and get her in the basement before she came to, he arrived 15 minutes earlier than he had planned. He pulled into the garage, turned off the engine and walked around to the passenger side. Dragging her limp body into the house, Ryan heard a vibrating sound coming from one of her pockets. He pulled the phone out and was floored when he saw Desmond’s name blinking across the screen. He pushed the reject key and continued to drag Phoenix. When he got to the basement door and swung it open, he heard Phoenix moaning. Her eyes started frantically blinking, as she came up out of her slumber.

Roman

            Roman and Kennedy sat in a quiet booth in the corner of their favorite restaurant.  They were so happy because they’d just found out that they were having a boy. “Yo Kenn, I’mma teach my lil man how to play football as soon as he can walk!” Roman gleamed. Kennedy was so busy stuffing her face that all managed to say was “mm hmm baby, that’s nice!” Roman just stared at her as he always does and said “Kennedy, I’ve never been more happier than I am right now in my entire life. Granted I was happy when I got drafted but, babe you have made me complete. The only thing that upsets me is Armen. I mean we’ve never gone this long without speaking.” Roman confessed. Kennedy cringed at the mention of Armen’s name. “Rome, maybe he’s going through something right now. He could possibly feel like he is in your shadow! I think he’s ok and that you shouldn’t worry. He’s your brother and he’ll come around.” she said as she dug into her crab legs. “I sure hope your right Kenn!” he said and they continued to eat and talk about their wedding.

Armen

            After checking out their schedule, Armen discovered that his plan would have to wait! The Eagles would be home for their next two games, and then they would fly to Chicago to play the Bears, and Armen planned to be right there with them. His plot to take Roman down was simple: find a white girl…claim to be Roman…rape her!

Desmond

            Desmond had been calling Phoenix all night long. He had no clue where she was. He had been waiting at the counselor’s office for hours and was headed home to see if she was there a sleep or something. Just as he was about to call her again his phone rung. “Hello!” he angrily greeted when the number came up unknown. “Yes sir is this Desmond Scott?” the stranger asked. “Yes this is he, who’s calling?” “My name is Daniel Braun, with Johnson Security Systems, and I’m calling because the silent alarm at Anita’s Beauty Palace, has been going off for about two hours. We’ve called the primary account holder, a Mrs. Phoenix Scott, but got no answer on any of the numbers she supplied. You were listed as an emergency contact. We need you to come down to the unit, because there has been a reported vandalism.” He explained. Desmond hung up the phone and made an illegal u-turn.

            When he pulled up to the salon, there were police everywhere. As he approached the doorway they stopped him and asked him a million questions. “Look why the fuck are yall interrogating me? Where is my wife?” he asked pissed off. “Sir you’ve got to calm down we are trying to figure that out and we need you to cooperate so that we are able to do that!” one of the officers said. Looking across the street Desmond noticed her car. “WHAT THE FUCK? That’s my baby’s car!” he said before he shot across the street. “Yall are supposed to be professionals, why didn’t any of you notice her car sitting here?” he scorned. While attempting to open the door an officer grabbed him. “Sir” he whispered. “You shouldn’t touch the car, because it is a part of the investigation.” he warned trying to look out for his favorite athlete. “Ok you’re right.” Desmond said, “but look at that brick sitting on the seat, it looks like it’s a note around it!” The officer swiftly leaned in through the window and pulled it out. He handed Desmond the note without any other officer noticing.

Phoenix

            Phoenix opened her eyes and looked directly in the face of an extremely handsome man. At first she thought she was dreaming until she realized the man she was staring at was the man from the pictures, the private investigator had given her. She tried to scream but couldn’t, the look in his eyes told her that he was trying to hurt her. Immediately she started kicking and swinging but to no avail. Ryan was too strong as he picked her up and threw her down a flight of stairs that led to a basement! Feeling helpless and unable to move Phoenix tried to scream again, but before she could get a single breath out Ryan ran down the steps and kicked her in the chest. If there was any bit of fight in Phoenix, it was all knocked out by that kick. “You pretty little bitch. Thought you could keep my Desi all to yourself huh.” BAM he slammed his timberland boot right into her face, shattering her nose. Phoenix let out a blood curdling scream. “Yea cunt, you thought Des could make you scream huh….nah PHOENIX, I’m really bout to make you holler.” He said as he ripped off her clothes! Phoenix didn’t know what to do, at this point in time all she could do was pray!
