Tiana remembers what happened, Kath really is dead. She suddenly got nervous, she didn't know what to tell him she can't tell him that she's dead that will break him.
"Tia are you okay did you hear what I said?
"Yeah I heard you, sorry I was just wondering where she could be. Sorry but I haven't seen her I promise to let you know if I do see her"
"Thanks Tia, you really are a good friend, See you later."
"Okay, bye.
Kath really is dead and Derek too, soon that man will come for the rest of us. He'll probably kill my daughter, No! I can't let that happen I'd rather die than let anyone harm my baby girl. I have to take her away from the city if he can't find her he can't hurt her. Ella has to go and she has to go right now. Tiana thought.
She finished her sweeping, locked her shop and heads back to her mom's house.
********
Martha heard a knock outside and she was frightened,
"Ella go upstairs, I'll be there in about a few minutes, don't come down no matter what."
Ella ran upstairs without even looking back she didn't know what was going on but she knew something was wrong.
*Knock*
"I'm coming, Tia I thought you said you weren't coming back till next week"
"I'm sorry mom, but I can't wait till next week"
"You should really get some rest and sleep, you look terrible"
"With everything going on, the last thing I'm worried about is how I look"
"Please don't stress your self out too much will get through this.
I hope so mom, I really do. "Have you eaten anything you look really skinny"
"Wow, I totally forgot about food"
"Go upstairs and tuck Ella into bed while I reheat dinner"
"Okay mom but we're leaving first thing in the morning"
"If you say so, where are we going?
"Country v"
"And are you sure this is the best approach?
"I'm sorry mom but I can't wait to see my baby girl get killed, you and Ella are all I've got, I'll do anything for you two even if it means giving up my life"
"Tia...
"Let me finish up with Ella and we can finish our conversation"
Tiana goes upstairs, Ella's room wasn't hard to find because it was the last room at the hall.
*Knock*
"Ella baby I'm coming in"
Tiana entered the room but found no one inside, her mind went blank but she tried to calm down he gave me two weeks he can't take my baby girl.
"Ella where are you"
"I'm in here"
Tiana turned to try to find where the voice came from, she walked towards the closet and opened the door and she saw Ella looking terrified.
"Ella baby what happened to you"
"Is the bad people gone"
"Bad people what are you talking about?
"Granny heard the door and she told me to go upstairs and not come down no matter what"
"Aw babe you have nothing to worry about it was just a misunderstanding, I was on the door"
"Are you lying to me just so I won't be worried"
"Of course not"
Ella stared at her mom like she was trying to detect a single flaw
"Okay I believe you, tell me a story"
"Sure"
There was really no problem telling her a story she usually sleeps right after once upon a time, Tiana thought.
After finishing up with Ella, she came down and had dinner with her mom, all through the dinner was silence like they didn't know how to start the conversation again. After dinner Tiana washed the dishes and went to the living room, Martha knew she couldn't escape it forever so she followed.
"Mom"
"Baby girl is i know you want to protect us your heart is in the right place but if this guy is as powerful as you say he is, won't he be able to find us before we even board a plane. Or maybe even get to the airport."
"We're not boarding a plane, we are crossing the border"
Martha widened her eyes, she didn't know how to explain her expression or how she felt at that moment.
"No, we are not crossing the border. From your description we are talking drug dealers, money launders and maybe even mafia Kings. It's not worth the risk Tiana.
"Not worth the risk mom my daughter's life is at stake here and you tell me it's not worth the risk"
"The border is their zone, that's their ground you can't outrun a lion in his den"
"A lion will never expect a deer to play in his den, so it's least expected for us to take those means. As long as we are quite we're safe"
"I just hope you know what your doing"
Martha knew she couldn't change Tiana's mind so she just has to support her.
"Get some rest Mom, we'll need it for tomorrow. We leave at 5am"
