I smiled a little at his comment. "Okay."
"I got you baby don't forget that."
"Thanks Merce."

"No problem. Now hurry up and eat so we can go and get Zada. I was thinking we could blow something at the mall."
"How much?"
"I'm feeling generous right now, so we'll see."

I hurried to finish my food and Merce and I went to pick up Zada from day care. She seemed extra happy today, but Merce said it was because they had show and tell. She talked us to death the whole car ride. She said she brought in her dolls and showed the class all about them.

When we pulled up to the mall, I took her out of her car seat and put her on my hip. Merce grabbed my hand, then we headed inside.

"Daddy I'm thirsty." Zada said.
"We'll get something later okay." He said.
The first store we went to was foot locker. Merce bought me and Zada a pair of Jordan's. He was starting out pretty good for his little splurge. We headed to Forever 21 and he let me get whatever I wanted.

When we left Forever 21, we went to Armani Exchange, then to a few slightly less expensive stores. When we went to the food court to take a break, we had more bags then we could carry.

"Daddy can we get ice cream?" Zada asked.
"After you eat."
"Ohh daddy let's get sushi...no I want a happy meal."
"You sure?"
"No I want pizza."
"Okay that's what I'll get you."
Merce just ordered a medium pepporoni pizza from Sbarro for all of us to share. He got Zada a little fruit juice and we shared a sprite.

When we finished eating, we all got small ice cream cones, then took the bags that we already had to the car.
"How much did we spend so far?" I asked as we headed back inside.
"Don't worry about that," Merce replied.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.
"Chill with all that. The attitude ain't needed. I'm trying to help you clear your head, just be cool."
"Okay."
"Alright." He took my chin and gave me a kiss.
"Okay." I smiled.

We shopped for about two more hours before finally heading to my place. Merce called Zada's mom to get permission for her to spend the night with us.

While he did that I went and go the guest room prepared for her to sleep in it. Her mom said it was okay so after a bath and a little dinner, we put Zada to bed. I still had the whole situation on my mind, but being with Merce made me feel a little safer.

Merce and sat in the living room quietly for a long time. Just when I was about to go to bed, Merce spoke up.
"You have fun today?" he asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, but I'm tired now."
"It's only eleven-thirty."
"My bedtime is six p.m."
He laughed. "It's not. Chill with me for a few more minutes, ma."

"Okay." I sat back down and he wrapped his arm around me.
"You know I love you right?"
"Yeah."
"And I'll do anything to protect you."
"I know."

"Make sure you never forget that."
I looked at him and smiled. "Where is this coming from?"
"Right here." He took my hand and placed it on his chest.
"Your man boobs?"
"So, you're funny now?" He pulled me closer to him and kissed me softly on the lips.

Merce was the only person I really had in my life that was there for me besides Tracey. We ended up falling asleep on the couch and when I got up I didn't see Merce. I started panicking a little, but when I went to the kitchen he was standing over the stove cooking breakfast.

"Good morning," I said.
"Good morning. Did you sleep good?"
"As good as you can on a couch."

"Sorry I would have moved you to the bed, but I fell asleep too."
"It's cool."
"Can you get Zada up for me?"
"Yeah." I went to the back room to wake up Zada. "Zada wake up sweetheart." I went to draw back the covers and nothing was there, but pillows. Then there was a note that read:
You may have told, you may have snitched
But I'm gonna get you bitch
You got something I want and you need to give it back
This is just round one of my attacks
P.S. Don't bother looking for the little girl
"Merce!" I yelled and he came running in the room.

"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Zada. She's not, I mean... Last night, she was... Oh, God."
He looked past me and at the bed. "Cindy, where's Zada?"
I handed him the note as tears started to fall out of my eyes.

"What the fuck!" He yelled.
"Merce we need to get the police."
"Fuck the police, I'm getting my goons to get that ass."

"Merce, you can't do that!"
"What you mean, I can't do that? They got my daughter and I'm supposed to sit around and wait for some cops to handle the situation? Naw, man, miss me with that." He pulled his cell out of his pocket and dialed a number.
"Merce, wait-"
He pushed me away from him when I tried to take his phone.
"Yo, Mike-Mike, what up, B? Round up Blaque and the rest of the boys. Get y'all straps and meet me at the park on 168th. I'll explain everything when I get there." He hung up the phone, went to the guest room closet and pulled a small box out of it. He opened the box and pulled out a shotgun holster for his pants and shoulder holsters, along with three guns. He took a leather jacket out of the closet and began to put everything on.
Between when he had put all of that stuff in my house and what he was planning to do with it, I had a million thoughts running through my mind.
