“Shh. I smell blood, a lot of blood!”
“Someone please h-hhelp. Oh god please help me”
“Someone, Fuck. Someone help”
I know that voice.
I kick Jameson away, get up off the landing, and scream.
“Kk-kayyyylllaaaaaa”

Drowning & Ominous Phone Calls
-Spade-
Strong arms hold me under the freezing water. I struggle against mi padre. The cold, wet pressure of his fingers digging into my arms hurts. My lungs are tight, starving for air. The more he holds me down, the worse I start to feel physically. The energy to fight him off of me dissipates. Where is Mama? She was supposed to bathe me tonight, not him, never him. Mama, Mama, I scream, sucking the water into my lungs. He’s going to kill me. I panic. I don’t want to die. I’m only eight years old, just like he killed Juan, Just like he killed everyone.
“Spade!”I hear my name being called in the distance. Mama, is that you? Save me from the monsters, please, Mama, don’t let him kill me.
“Spade!” I see her face. My beautiful Mama, except she’s bleeding. On the floor, a hole in her head. Honey brown eyes are entirely void. I scream.
“Spade, Wake the fuck up!” Smack, smack, smack.
I’m jolted awake to Dario standing over me and Augustus licking my face.What the fuck was that?
“Reid, You good? You had another nightmare. At least this time, you weren’t screaming for Amelia,” he sighs, sitting on the couch beside me.
“Yeah, I was drowning again,” I whisper, running my fingers through my hair and face, trying to wake myself up.What time is it?
“With everything going on lately, it’s really been affecting your nightmares. Dredging up the past and not in a good way.”
“Yup!” dismissing him. “What time is it? Where’s my Babygirl?” I question. I didn’t mean to fall asleep. I was waiting for her to get back from school, surprising her. I was summoned back home this past week, and I don’t want my life with the cartel to bleed into whatever this is. She thinks I’ve been distant, so I’m here now to explain myself.
Augustus nudges my hands to pet him, and I oblige. He’s been obsessed with me lately. Her dogs are exquisite pups. I need to figure out her commands for them. I have no idea what language she uses. But they won’t listen to us for shit.
“Eight-thirty. I haven’t heard from her nor Jameson. Hopefully, they are together and not fighting. I know she was studying for her chemistry test, and Jay was out looking for her. The cat-and-mouse game is pretty funny. Just not funny when Jay gets all moody, and the voices start taunting him.”
I nod in agreement. But something is off. I don’t know what it is, but something is wrong. I can feel it.
“What is the language Jade uses with the boys?” I ask Dario; hopefully, he knows.
“It’s Gaelic,” He replies, shaking his head like I’m an idiot for not knowing.
“Gaelic? Really? I wonder how she learned that.”
“She told me that her mom loved working with dogs and was an obedience trainer.”
“Oh, that’s pretty cool.” I shrug. I’m starving. They need to hurry their asses home so we can eat, then I can eat her for dessert. My phone rings and I take it out of my pocket. I look at who it is. It’s Jameson.
“Jameson, you fuck–”
“Spade shut the fuck up,” he says in a panicked tone. “Where are you?”
“Jade’s house with Ri, What’s going on? You good?” I hear screaming in the background and a lot of commotion.
“Call the Doc and Jade’s brothers. Have them meet us at the house ASAP,” he growls into the phone, and the mother fucker hangs up.What the fuck Jay.
