The Brothers

After her visit from Colin yesterday, she took his advice and decided to leave. She knew Colin was serious on his threat and he'd make her disappear, one way or another. Carly truly did care for Luke and leaving him was tough for her. She went wherever the train ticket told her to go.

Luke was worried about her that entire day. When he came home, she wasn't there, and after calling and calling, he decided to go out and try to find her and came up empty. It wasn't till the next morning when he found the note she left him.

Luke,

I'm really do love you, but I had to leave. This wasn't an easy choice at all. I wish you much success.

Carly.

After reading the note he crumbled it up and threw it on the counter. There's only one person that could be behind this, he thought, and he knew exactly who it was.

Luke left and made his way to Colin's, who was still at Aaliyah's at the time. When Colin got home, he found Luke sitting on his couch.

"Where's Carly, Colin?"

"What?"

"Don't play stupid with me. I know you had something to do with it. Where is she?"

"Somewhere where she can't fuck me over. That's where she is, Luke."

"You son of a bitch, where is she." Luke says grabbing him by the shirt and pinning Colin against the wall.

"Luke, I swear on my life I will kick your ass if you don't get yo damn hands off me."

Luke loosens his grip, then eventually let's go.

"Don't lost your damn mind...over a snake ass bitch at that." Colin says. Luke tries to get a lick on Colin, but Colin dodges his fist and connects with Luke's jaw, knocking him to the ground. Colin squats down. "If you wanna lose our friendship over a bitch then so be it. But I'm not about to get caught because if I do, it'll have a ripple effect on all of us. So unless you wanna go to jail right along with me, i suggest you get your pussy-whipped ass together and act like you got some fuckin sense. If not, go find her, and keep yo ass right where she is and don't come back." Colin stands back up. "You can see yourself out."

Luke doesn't say anything else and leaves. He goes back out to try and find Carly. That happened for the next couple days, but he had no luck.

He wasn't the only one searching for Carly. Liz was curious as to what evidence she's dig up. Liz wanted to close this case, even if it was at the expense of putting Colin in jail. Her career was on the line, considering the loop holes she went through to even get the information she's gotten so far.

The past couple days she spent time trying to find her and she finally got a tip of where she could be, thanks to Brandon, who works at the office.

She takes a trip to the hotel Carly's staying at. And after knocking a few times, carly finally answers, not expecting it to be Liz.

"You shouldn't be here."

"Can I come in?"

"No."

"Please...I need to know why you just disappeared."

"Does it matter?"

"Was it Colin?"

"You need to leave."

"If it's him, then let me know. I can protect you."

"How?"

"We have a witness protection program. He wouldn't be able to come near you. What you've given me is enough. Just you identifying him would be enough."

"I'm not gonna testify in court."

"You don't have to. I just need you to make a recorded statement, as well as on paper and that's it. You will be safe, you have my word."

Carly nods.

--------------------

Over the past week since Cain let it be known that he's out, Colin's been getting him back into the swing of things, meanwhile Cain have his own plans.

He wanted to hurt Colin to his core, kill him, and then take over, and he knew just the way of doing that. Colin kept Aaliyah and CJ in a safe neighborhood so that no one who he did business with could get to them, so they were out of the question. But he knew another way to hurt, as well as bait him and it would come when he'd least expect it.

--------------------

It was Friday night and Odell was getting ready to head to the airport. Kash was already on her way there. She had to go back to her place, so she would just meet up with Odell at the jet.

After locking up his apartment, he heads to his car. He puts his bags in the trunk, but he never makes it to the driver side due to a black sack being thrown over his head and feel two guys grab him.

"What the fuck?!"

"Shut the fuck up." He hears one of them say as he's being carried off and put into the back of a truck.

Kash gets to the jet, expecting Odell to be there already, but he isn't. After waiting five, ten, twenty, almost thirty minutes, calling him in between, she decides to wait no longer and leaves. She's not sure what's going on, because it's not like Odell to not show up without telling her. If something came up, she would have been notified.

She heads back to his place and notices his car is still there. "This boy here gone make me hurt him." She says getting out of the truck. She walks up to his door, knocks, and knocks, but no answer.

"What the hell....Odell. Odell, open this damn door boy." Still no answer. She uses her key, walks in and realizes he's not in there. She goes downstairs to his car, and notices his keys on the ground by the car. She picks them up and leaves. She's not sure what the hell is going on and she's not feeling at eased about the situation.

She goes to Aaliyah's to let her know what happened. They call Cam and Luke and neither of them have heard from him since earlier. Aaliyah didn't want to do it, but she calls Colin and he hadn't heard from him, and he decides to come over so they can come up with some kind of way to figure out where he is.

Colin gets to Aaliyah's place and they try calling him. They try to call some of the friends he has to see if any of them heard from him, and they haven't.

"Damnit Dell, where the hell are you." Colin says out loud.

"Dad, Auntie Kash, what are you doing here." CJ says walking in the kitchen.

"Baby what are you doing up?" Aaliyah asks as he walks into her arms.

"Bad dream."

Colin's phone vibrates and he gets a text message from an unknown number.

Unknown: if you want to see your boy again, you do as I say.

Who the fuck. Aaliyah notice his demeanor changes.

"Come on papa, lets get you back to bed." Aaliyah says and takes him back to his room.

Colin: Who the fuck is this?

Unknown: don't worry about that. Just do what I say.

Colin: what you want.

Unknown: you.
