≈Miami, FL...

(1:46 p.m)

"I so don't want to work out today." Terry complained sighing.

Kalvin shook his head playfully at his best friend as they were getting ready to start, "Think about the Playoffs." He tried to encourage him. 

Terry smiled, but quickly change of expression. He frowned watching the TV, that was hung on the wall across from him. He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes thinking that maybe he was dreaming, but they were still showing the picture. The word 'missing' in red was what shocked him the most. Kalvin noticed his face and immediately wondered what was wrong with his friend. He turned his head and his heart instantly jumped in his chest, "What the hell ?! Can you turn up the volume, please ? " He asked and someone did as he said. 

"It's terrible ! Today, a little ten years girl disappeared all of sudden after going in the bathroom towards eleven this morning. Nobody knows where she is at and what had really happened. A couple of minutes after people started searching her, they found the janitor, who was unconscious and only wearing his underwear, behind the school. Now the police has arrived and they evacuated the entire building. We are calling the parents, so they can come and pick up their kids. Everybody is confused and scared and is trying to help as much as possible. Please, if you see this little girl..." The picture appeared on the screen, "...call the police immediately. Her name is Acacia McKall. Thanks in advance for your cooperation." 

"It can't be real..." Kalvin mumbled under his breath completely lost. How ? How did this happen ? You're safe nowhere. 

"Man, who is the mothafucka who did that ? I swear I'm gonna kill someone ! What the fuck ?! " Terry was angry more than anything else. 

Kalvin stayed immobile for a moment, before to pull his phone out of his duffel bag and then called Cora to know if this was really happening. He just couldn't believe it. It wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't ready. He wasn't expecting that waking up this morning. At all.

After the sixth ring, she finally answered. The first thing he heard was her sniffing, "Ka-Kalvin, I can't talk to you right now. I..." She couldn't speak more as a few tears were falling. 

Kalvin sighed feeling bad, "Cora, I...I don't know what to say. I...I'm sorry." 

She calmed down a bit, "Why are you saying that ? It's not your fault."

"Where are you at ? " 

"In front of the school. They're still asking me questions, instead of searching my baby. These idiots ! " 

He nodded his head already taking his belongings to go, "Okay. I'm coming. It's gonna be alright, Cora. We're gonna find her. And I'm sure she's fine." He attempted to reassure her and himself by the same occasion, then they hung up. 

"Hey ! Kal, where are you going ? " Terry asked trailing behind him. 

"They need me. Tell the coach...Uh...I have others things to do." 

"Almost the whole team is leaving anyways." George -one of their teammates- said informing them. And he was telling the truth, they were all going to the parking lot. 

"Uh...why ? " 

"No way our kids stay in school today. That shit crazy, man ! I hope they'll find her today. I don't understand why people take innocent children as their target. It's unfair ! That person must be fucking insane." He answered before to go on his own way and causing Kalvin and also Terry to be more sad, worried and mad than they already were. 

"T, can you do something for me, please ? "

He didn't hesitate to respond, "Of course ! You're my bro, anything you need I gotchu. What do you want ? " 

"Call Nelson, please. At least with him, we're actually gonna do something for Acacia. Tell him everything and that we need his help." 

Terry nodded his head, "Okay, okay. Don't worry, nobody won't hurt her. We're gonna find her before it happens something to her."

Cora was devastated, pissed off, sad and hungry. Why ? Why did he have to do this ? He didn't want the kids in the past. He denied them and abandoned Cora. And now he had kidnapped one of the twins. And only God knew what he was going to do. Cora was praying God to protect her baby and don't let him hurt her. She knew what he was capable of and she didn't like it. Acacia was just a little ten years old girl. She was still fragile. She was just a kid. Why ? Why was it happening ? 

"Ma, we need you to tell us everything you know." A white and tall with blond hair and brown eyes policeman asked her with a notepad in his left hand and a pencil in his right one. Cora had already answered their questions. She told them about Cameron and all she knew about him. She told them that he was the twins' father and a crazy man. She told them about his street live. She already told them everything she knew, but they were still questioning her instead of doing the other part of their job. What were they waiting for ? 

"Ms. McKall ! Can you look here please ? Look here ? How are you feeling ? " She sighed ignoring the wild journalists and staring at her fingers. How did they even know her name and that she was the missing kid's mother. All of this situation was unbelievable. 

"Cora ! " She looked up and then saw Kalvin. 

"Oh ! It's Kalvin Ryans ! Mr.Ryans, here ! " They're pathetic, she thought shaking her head. They were annoying her to the fullest. 

"Hey, how are you ? " At least, she knew that him was really concerned when he was asking her that question. They hugged and she break down again. She wanted it to be over and simply go home. She wanted the day to come back to normal, "It's okay, Cora. It's gonna be alright. Calm down." He caressed her back and then kissed her cheek pulling away. 

She wiped her face with the handkerchief she already had in her hand, "I'm gonna kill him if he does something to her." 

"Did you tell the cops about that bastard ? And where is Almar at ? How is he ? "

She sniffed, "He's in the car with Sancy and my mother. He's quiet since I arrived. He wants to talk to nobody and to be alone."

"You better let us walk in that direction before I murder your fat ass ! And I'm dead serious ! It's our family ! " They suddenly heard Latoya's loud mouth. She was about to fight with the policeman who was blocking her. Halley, Francesca, Roger, Kalia and Kaldrick were behind her. 

"No, ma. You can't go there." He insisted showing no expression. 

"This nigga does really NOT fucking value his fucking dog life ! Move bitch ! Fucking move ! " She was getting louder and irritated also.

Kalvin and Cora couldn't help, but laughed, even if it wasn't the appropriate time for it, "Hey ! You can let them come, they're our fam." He said to the policeman, who finally moved to the side. Latoya was about to show him her manicured middle finger, but fortunately Halley prevented her to do this.

"You want to end your day in jail ? "

Toya fanned her off, "He ain't shit."

"Thanks you all for coming. I appreciate it." Cora thanked them as they were hugging each one of them. It was warming her heart to know that she had people who cared for her and her children.

"Of course, we're here. How are y'all ? " Kaldrick asked looking at his baby brother, "Did that son of a bitch did it ? " He knew about Cameron since they had spoken through the phone this morning.

Only Kalia, Francesca and Roger had no clue what they were talking about, "Who is that son of a bitch ? " Roger asked raising his eyebrow.

"My ex. The twins' father." Cora answered as water was coming back in her eyes. 

Kalia was surprised to hear that, "What ? He's the one who took Acacia ? But...Uh...He wasn't here before, right ? What the hell is going on ? "

Hally sighed, "A lot. But we should focus on finding Acacia first." Everybody nodded agreeing with her. 

"Kal ! " They turned around and there was Terry walking towards them. But he wasn't coming alone. Kalvin was relieved when he saw their old friend Nelson. Terry, Kalvin and Nelson met in middle school and got along immediately, even if the new addition to their duo wasn't as crazy as them. They quickly became the three musketeers and were causing a lot of trouble together. Now that they were adults, they weren't able to spend as much time as they used to, but they had never lost the contact. 

Nelson was a detective and knew how to do his job perfectly. He was the one they needed right now, "Nel, man. Thank you." They dap each other. 

"No need to thank me. Y'all are my bros. Let's get down to business." That's why he was the best. He was never wasting time.

Acacia opened her eyes delicately as they were adjusting to the current environment. She had a little headache and couldn't really feel her body. She still felt tired, but was forcing herself to wake up. She couldn't remember what had happened exactly and where she was at.

But all of sudden, like a bullet, images started running in her mind. It wasn't really making sense at first, but after a couple of minutes -that seemed like forever- she realized that she was not where she was supposed to be. So at school.

"The janitor..." She whispered trying to move, but she couldn't. It seemed like her ankles and hands were tied down. It was reminding her of the movies she used to watch. She stuck her tongue out to verify if she had something on her mouth and she hadn't. 

She tried to yell, but her throat was a bit dry. She cleared it and tried again, "Help me..." But she wasn't screaming like she wanted to. She was too weak now to actually do this. 

"Hello, princess." She suddenly heard. She knew this voice. Yes, it was the janitor's. She was regretting to have even pay him attention in the hall and not just go back in her classroom to listen to her boring teacher. 

She lifted her head slowly and met his face. He was frightening her. She didn't know who he was and  why he had taken her somewhere. He had came out of nowhere. Surely a psychopath, she thought as her heart beat violently in her chest. She knew she was in danger. But how am I going to get out of here ? 

She began to seriously worry, "Who...Who are...you ? " She asked with a shaky voice really wanting to know. She couldn't understand. They didn't know each other and he was doing this. But then she remembered that he actually knew her name. How ? 

He smirked making eye contact with her, so she knew he wasn't lying. He was more than happy to answer her question, "I'm your father, sweetheart." He said causing her whole body to jump.

She couldn't believe him. No, she didn't want it to be the truth. She was more scared now. She wanted to run far away from him and to never see him again. She wanted all of this to be a simply nightmare. She closed her eyes and counted until three in her head, then opened them again and he was still standing before her. She did it a second, a third, a fourth time and nothing had changed. 

"HELP ME ! "
