It's been two months since our daughter, Naya, was kidnapped . The police have no leads which ain't surprising because we are Black. Therefore, Andrea's uncle Amir has been on the case. Speaking of him, during dinner last night he called Andrea. She didn't tell me what he told her but it made her lock herself in the guest bedroom. It's now the afternoon and she hasn't even come out to eat.

"I will take her food. *Mom

"Yea, work them motherly vibes on her. *Derek

My parents laugh then my mom leaves with the plate of food.

She stays for an hour and comes back to my dad and I watching tv.

"Is she okay? What did Amir tell her? *Derek

"That crazy ex-girlfriend's mother took my grandbaby and sold her to someone.

"What?! *Derek and Pops

I start looking for my sneakers and car keys.

"I'm going to put that bitch in a grave next to her daughter. *Derek

"Too late. *Mom

"Amir already killed her? * Derek

"Nope. She took pills and by the time Amir was questioning her on the whereabouts of Naya, she had a seizure and died. *Mom

"Did Amir question her husband? *Derek

"That man has been living with his mistress for a while and doesn't know what was going on with his wife. He has been given access to his wife's files and bank accounts, so don't lose hope. He is also going to track down the fake ambulance people.

"Okay. I'm going to go check on Andrea.

"She is y'all room taking a bath. And we will be going home.

"Be safe.

"It's right across the street. *Mom

They laugh and shake their heads

I go upstairs and walk into our bedroom. I hear music playing and I smell vanilla candles burning. My baby loves her candles and always lights some up so she can relax.

I knock on the door

"Come in Derek.

I open the door and walk in

"How did you know it was me?

"Because only you would invade my privacy, clingy self. *Andrea

"It's your fault I'm clingy. Is that why you're distancing yourself from me?*Derek

"Just looking at you, reminds me that our daughter isn't here. *Andrea

"I didn't know that lady was going to take Naya. *Derek

"I know but it still hurts. I just wish we met under normal circumstances. *Andrea

"Me too. I wish I would've met you instead of that she-devil. *Derek

"We could've met but I still wasn't your type. *Andrea

"True. I was such a dumb ass. But still decided to bless me twice. I have faith that God will do it again and bring Naya home. *Derek

She steps out of the tub and I immediately turn around. It's not the time for sex or any naughty thoughts.

I turn around and fix her towel. I kiss her on the head and leave the room. I need a drink.

Andrea POV

Derek drinks himself to sleep which is perfect because I'm about to sneak out the house. I'm going to find my baby and I don't care how long it takes.

With my bag in hand, I walk out the door on a mission.
