Loriana POV
"Mommy, Dre isn't picking up my phone calls or text. It's getting late and I have class tomorrow." I complained. I didn't know that whatever errand he needed to do, would last 3 hours. I need to get home.
"I'm just guessing, but he probably went to the warehouse downtown cause that's where you're dad and uncles are. My dad called everyone over there. But that's all I know." My mom said.
"Don't make no sense for him to be over there since he's out the game. Ion want granddad dragging him back into all that momma." I stressed. Dre promised me he was done with all that, and I hope that he doesn't go back on that promise.
"I think that whatever it is, is serious, cause your father doesn't really involve himself with all that either. Dre all about Jesus now, so I doubt he'll be doing anything first hand." She said. I sighed and plopped down on the couch. I just want to go home and get some dick.
"Yo!" I heard my dad yelled, letting everyone know he was home. "Hey princess." He said when he walked into the living room.
Behind him was Dre, holding a sleeping Ashton. I frowned and stood up. I'm confused as to why Ashton is here and not home. It's way past him bedtime.
"What's going on? You were gone for so long and I was worried. Why is Ashton here?" I asked, walking up to Dre.
"We'll talk when we get home." He said lowly. I nodded and took Ashton out of his arms. His hair was all knotted up and oily.
"Alright me about to head out. I'll hit your line with anything new Mario." Dre said, shaking hands with my dad.
I said bye to my parents and followed Dre outside the house. I want to ask so many questions, but ion want him snapping on me so I'll just wait till we get home like he said.

"Baby." I said, climbing into bed. I just finished putting Ashton in bed and getting myself ready for bed. I'm beyond exhausted.
"Let's talk." He said, putting his phone down and turning his attention towards me. "Aight you gotta cover up because I can't talk to you while your bare titties all out." He shook his head. I rolled my eyes and pulled the covers over my body.
"There."
"Aight. Well I attended a meeting earlier in regards to the Org. Apparently there has been people disappearing and coming up dead. Women and men." He said.
"But, why though." I asked, frowning. I don't really understand this stuff. I'm book smart, not street smart.
"We don't know why baby. We just know that we gotta stay safe and keep y'all safe. So, security gonna be around you at all times no matter what. Ion want you staying out late, or going out to do anything you don't need to do. And I can't see it in your face that you're ready to argue, but I'm begging you Lori to not. This is for your safety and my sanity. If anything happens to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." He said, basically begging me. I can't argue with that.
"Ok, I'll take your word and direction. If it's really this serious, I'll listen." I said. He smiled and gave me a kiss. "So, why is Ashton here?" I asked, still curious.
"Well, I pulled up to Asia's crib after the meeting cause I felt like something wasn't right. Well, Ashton was all alone and he said he had been alone for a few days. Apparently Asia up and left with a big bag. Her car was gone and everything." He said. My eyes widened in shock.
"Are you serious? How dare she just leave her baby son alone in the house for days. Yo, I'm so pissed right now. Like, what the fuck!" I raised my voice. If I knew where she was, I would pull up on her.
