Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Goodbye My Love

As day starts to break we see the community on the horizon.

"There it is… so did you call for help Dimitri?"

"They're ready for the signal, once we get inside they'll arm us with whatever we need to take down Reyes. our scouts say his mansion is being heavily guarded… but nothing we can't handle."

"Alright once we give the signal we break through the gates and head straight for the mansion. We storm the place and we take out everyone of his people, I'm going to go look for Eli while everyone is occupied"

"Eli?!? But after everything you said.."

"I know what I said… but I also said Mikey needs his mother, I'm not going to deprive him of that."

"You're a honorable man Jay… if it was me I would've left her to rot as the community burns"

"Yeah… but what if her pics are manipulated like mine? I have to find out from her as well"

"Alright… are we ready?"

"Tell your people to get ready… it's time to fuck this place up"

Dimitri gives the signal as he speeds towards the gates, barreling through them as he heads straight for Reyes' place. When we get to the mansion the fight has already started, everyone gets out of the buses and loads up prepared for a fight.

"Jay over here… take what you need"

"Holy shit… what the fuck do you guys do again?"

Dimitri laughs as he loads up 

"Gun running"

I look over the guns and other equipment. I take a Tavor TS12, a Glock 19 with plenty of ammo and strap on a bulletproof vest. 

"I think I'm ready"

"Alright let's go Jay, we got you covered"

I run up the steps with the tavor in hand, taking out whatever comes in my way as I fight my way through the mansion. 

"Dimitri I'm goin to go look for Eli, y'all cover me"

"Go! We got this covered"

I head for the basement hoping they haven't taken Eli yet and that she's still there.

There's a guard in front of the door leading to the basement, I take him out silently and head through the door. I see Eli tied up to a chair with tape over her mouth.

"Eli!!!"

She turns and sees me

"Don't worry I got you"

I rip the tape off her mouth 

"Jay!!! Please help me!"

"I am don't worry…."

Eli looks at me 

"Well untie me so we can go get our son"

"Before I untie you…. I need to know something."

"Anything, I'll tell you anything!"

"Those pictures of you in Greece… tell me those were fabricated like mine"

Eli looks down 

"Eli…."

She looks up teary eyed 

"No… it was real, all of it was real"

"I can't believe this… you really left our son alone in a hotel room so you could go and party and be a whore"

Eli looks down again before she speaks in a low tone 

"Mikey wasn't with me…. He never left"

"Then where the fuck was he at!!"

"He stood with Don… I went by myself"

"Why.. why the fuck would you leave him behind"

She looks up at me with a serious straight face 

"Because I made a deal with Reyes…. He wouldn't traffick me if I gave him Mikey in return"

I look at her with anger and tears coming to my eyes

"Why?!?!"

"The day he told you of the vacation… is the day he told me I wasn't his daughter and that he was going to traffick me but would let me go if I gave him Mikey"

"Well look what the fuck happened Eli!! You still were about to be trafficked… why did you even take this offer in the first place instead of telling me"

"Because he offered me things you couldn't…"

She looks up at me with cold eyes 

"He offered me power…. More money than I can ever dream of… I wasn't going to end up like my mother and I knew you couldn't give me anything like that so I took the offer and gave up our son"

"Eli… I loved you… I LOVED YOU!! I risked my life for you before Reyes even showed up, i was planning my whole life with you… I was getting ready to marry you"

"You offered nothing at that time Jay… you were nothing but a quick fuck to me but then I got pregnant and ruined my life"

"How can you say that?!?! You love Mikey"

"Yeah I do…. But I love my freedom more"

I just look down, tears running down my face

"Jay… please untie me and just let me go.. I'll disappear and leave you and Mikey alone I promise"

I turn back 

"Ok…"

I go around the chair and get ready to untie Eli

"Thank you Jay… I knew you would…"

Before she could finish what she's saying I take out the Glock and shoot her through the back of the head. She falls to the floor motionless 

"I loved you…. Now I can't take the chance of you turning into Reyes"

I run back upstairs and meet up with Dimitri 

"Jay!!…. Uhhh where's Eli"

I look at him with a cold look

"She knew everything…."

"What do you mean?"

"She knew Reyes wasn't her dad, she willingly gave up Mikey because of what Reyes was going to offer her, she was corrupted. If I let her live who knows how she would turn out…. I couldn't take that risk"

"You did what you had to do Jay… we have Reyes trapped, all his guards are gone"

"Good…. Now leave, I need to do this on my own"

"But….

"Now Dimitri! After I get Mikey back… burn down this fucking place"

He nods and runs off. I walk towards the door, prepared for whatever happens next.
