“Do what he says, Barbie,” I whispered.
“Will you stop calling me that!” she said.
“What’s going on over here?” Lloyd walked over, grabbed Barb’s arm, and stood her up.
“You let go of me. What is wrong with you?” Barb spoke sternly.
“Barb, don’t,” Shaun spoke.
“I’ll have you know that my son is a detective with the LAPD.”
“So what, lady? You’ll be dead by the time he finds you. Now, sit your ass down and shut the fuck up.” He threw her on the ground.
“Name your price,” Shaun said. “I’ll give you whatever you want. Please, just don’t hurt them. They have nothing to do with this.”
“Don’t hurt them? You hurt me and my family. Now, it’s time for paybacks, Kind. First, I’m going to kill everyone here one by one and make you watch. I want you to suffer like I did watching you take over my company.”
“Oh, my God! Will you shut up!” I shouted. “We get it. He took over your company and ruined your life. Blah, blah, blah. How many times are you going to say it?”
Shaun looked at me and knew exactly who I was.
“What the fuck did you say, bitch?” Lloyd walked over and hit me in the head with his gun.
“Kate!” Shaun shouted.
“Ouch.” I placed my hand on my forehead and felt the blood dripping. “You’re fucking crazy, dude.”
He knelt down in front of me as his crazy eyes stared into mine. “I think you’ll be the first to go,” he said.
“I don’t think so.” I grabbed his face and pushed my thumbs into his eyes while I smashed my bleeding forehead into his.
“You bitch!” He screamed, and as he fell back, the gun went off and hit Barb.
“Barb!” Shaun shouted.
I straddled Lloyd, kicked the gun out of his hand with my foot, and punched him several times in the face until he passed out. Shaun walked over and grabbed me.
“That’s enough, Kate.” He wrapped his arms around me from behind and held me tight. I took my foot and kicked Lloyd in the ribs as hard as I could—one last gesture for threatening us.
“Barbie.” I got out of Shaun’s grip and ran over to her as she held her arm. “Let me check. Thank God, it’s just a flesh wound.”
“Your head.” Barb brought her hand up to my forehead.
“Nah, I’m okay.” I smiled.
“The police and Simon are on their way,” Shaun said.
“Thank you.” Selena ran over and hugged me tight. “I’m going to get a cloth for your head.”
Lloyd moaned and tried to move.
“Oh no, you don’t. This is for threatening my family.” I walked over and punched him again.
The elevator doors opened, and Simon and the police ran in along with the paramedics.
“Over here!” Shaun yelled.
“Mom!” Simon ran over to her.
