Two years, five months ago
I’m going to kill these motherfuckers and I’m going to enjoy it. Kid’s upstairs in the fucking hospital sick and dehydrated from morning sickness of the devil. She just found out she’s having twins and this shit pops up.
My best friend, my sister…the best piece of me has had a rough life filled with pain and anguish. It hasn’t all been bad, but when it’s bad for her, it’s worse than most can imagine.
The latest clusterfuck in her life was eight months ago when she was kidnapped from our home, tortured and then shot four times. Obviously, she lived because she’s here, but it was touch and go. Then when she was recovering in the hospital from her gunshot wounds and near death experience, her man was ripped from her life.
Dylan Kellerman’s ex-girlfriend turned up pregnant with his baby from a quick fling he had with her before he met Kid. That bitch was a wacko for the record books. She basically held Kellerman captive and forced him to live with her under threat of harming his unborn child or making up lies about him to keep him away from the baby once it was born.
That bitch snorted a nose full of cocaine and gave birth to Kellerman’s baby six weeks early. Then she died. It was too good a death for someone as depraved as she was. Baby Johnny made it and is here with Kid and Kellerman now. He’s her son. She didn’t give birth to him, but Johnny is Kid’s baby.
A baby that’s being stolen right in front of my eyes. Kellerman and Kid’s bodyguard, Thomas, are being held at gunpoint. I’ve snuck up behind the hostage takers to attack when the time’s right while my two best friends are maneuvering their own ways.
