Five

| Ciara | Saturday |12:16 pm | Dorm Room

As I paced around my room waiting for that phone call , I finally heard my phone ring , hoping it was a call from them I quickly grabbed my phone which confirmed it was.

Me: Please tell me she's still alive.

Tears were running down my face.

Him: She is.

Me: Please let me see her today. I haven't seen her in 8 months.

Her: We have yet to get our money , Ciara.

Me: She told me he was going to pay it.

I heard him laugh.

Him: That drunk? That's cute. He spent the money so we took her. 

Me: Have you hurt her?

Her: Just because she's alive doesn't mean we haven't hurt her.

Me: When can I see her? She's my family.

Him: Bring 2 grand and come to the Winster Park exactly at 1 don't be late or we'll hurt her again.

I said a quick okay and grabbed my wallet , keys and shoes and ran out the door while trying to put my shoes on. I saw Andi walking down the hall with Naomi. I was about to walk past them but Andi pulled me back.

Andi: What are you doing?

Me: 2 grand and I can see her. I have to see her again.

Andi: I understand , you want me to come with you?

Naomi: But you were su-

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

Me: No just stay with her. You weren't there for me when I needed you earlier this morning , so why would you need to be there now?

I walked out and took the stairs since I knew it would be quicker. I ran across the street carrying one shoe and got in my car. I started the engine and pulled off. I hit the quickest bank , got the 2 grand and sped off to the park with the time now being 12:32. I quickly got out and grabbed the duffel bag filled with money. I slipped on my shades to blend in and walked around the park until I spotted her sitting on a short wall by the fountain.

Me: Here it is.

She stood up and grabbed the bag from me , opened it and nodded.

Her: 15 minutes and you can't go anywhere. You have to stay here. If I see any cops or people that look suspicious , I'm killing you and her. Understand?

Me: Yes.

She nodded her head looking behind me making me turn around. There stood my favorite little girl and my 9 year old sister , Jaide.

Jaide: Sissy!

I crouched down and scooped her up in my arms and kissed all over her face.

Me: Jai!

She laughed and sat on my lap.

My sister was taken from our "family" 6 months ago because of him. He owes big time to them. They were going to take me but I was already at college and enrolled , it would've made a big scene and they couldn't have that so they took my sister. They said once they get to 114 Grand then they'll let her go and if we contact the police then they'll kill Jaide. Apparently Simone's mother , Simone and I are the only ones who care about Jaide. 

Jaide: I love you.

Me: I love you too.

Jaide: When can I come home? It's boring there.

Me: Soon. I promise. 

Jaide: Have you talked to her or him lately?

Me: No.

Jaide: So you don't know when they'll pay?

Me: No , but I'm hoping it'll be soon. We're trying , okay? It's only 3 of us.

Jaide: I know.

Pretty soon the 15 minutes was gone and I said my goodbyes and I love you's to her and he took her away , leaving me with her.

Her: 5 days.

Me: What?

Her: You have 5 days to get us that money or she dies and we will send you her head. Understand?

I nodded.

Me: The 2 grand.

Her: What about it?

Me: What does it do?

She licked her lips and looked around then back at me.

Her: I'll make sure it takes off.

I nodded.

Me: Alright. Thank you.

Her: Don't mention it.

She stood up and adjusted her jacket.

Her: 5 days , I'd hate for you to get her head in the mail.

She winked and walked off. I went to my car and got in. I locked the doors and started the engine. I sighed and laid my head against the wheel.

I don't know how and if we'll be able to get 112 thousand dollars in 5 days and I know if I get my sisters head in a box , I will die right then and there.

I grabbed my phone and saw the time was 12:50. I put the car in drive and drove off.

| 1:15 | Dorm Parking Lot |

I was on the phone with Simone.

Simone: So they lowered it?

Me: Yeah but only by two fucking grand.

I pulled in a spot and cut the engine. 

Simone: Damn it and we have to have the rest by fucking 5 days. 

I grabbed my things and walked inside the dorm building , getting on the elevator.

Me: Yeah and honestly I don't know what to do Si. That's my sister's life on the line.

I went up to the room and walked in. 

Simone: Okay , I'll go to the bank. I think I got about 50 thousand.

Me: Okay , I should have somewhere around 60.

I put my keys on the counter.

Simone: That's only 110 thousand , we'll need 4 more.

Me: Auntie?

Simone: I don't know. I'll ask. I'll hit you back.

Me: Okay.

I hung up and went in the living room where I heard Andi. She looked up at me as Naomi was sitting beside her and Misha was laying on the other couch.

Andi: Ciara , I'm so sorry for this morning.

I shrugged.

Me: It's whatever.

Andi: How'd it go?

Me: Can't talk about it now.

Naomi: Well we already know. Well , I know.

I looked at her.

Me: Know about what?

Naomi: Your sister , your family , everything.

I looked at Andi.

Me: Why would you tell her.

Andi: I'm sorr-

Me: Your always fucking sorry! Andi do you know what you just did!? 

She looked down.

Andi: No.

Me: You probably just killed my fucking sister , Andi!

Andi: I don't understand.

Me: They said I have 5 days to get them 114 grand or they will send me her head in a box and you running your fucking mouth , doesn't make it any fucking better , only worse and I swear if I get my sisters head , I'm gone have yours too.

I walked into the kitchen and leaned on the counter.

??: Cici , look at me.

I looked towards the voice and saw Misha.

Misha: What happened?

Me: It's a long story.

Misha: We got nothing but time. Let's go outside.

I grabbed my keys and phone and walked beside her as we walked to the elevator.

Me: Honestly. Ion think it's right to tell you something so deep when I don't know that much about you.

Misha: Damn , your not letting this go huh?

Me: Nope.

She sighed and began talking.
