"Who the fuck is going around killing people close to us?" Jae yelled at her sisters while they were all at her condo, locked in under their father's orders

"Hold up, I know you need to calm the fuck down yelling at us like that?" Erica held her baby, rocking him in her arms as he slept.

"I feel sick," Kendra ran off to the bathroom.

Jae was going to be sick to her stomach as well. They just heard the news about what happened to Sabrina, one of their mother's close friends. Jae knew it was more to their relationship, but she was not sure her sisters knew. It did not matter in this instance. She liked Sabrina, she was a good friend. They hung out several times.

"Ugh! This makes me so angry I want to kill somebody!"

Her little sister side-eyed her. "I don't know if that is appropriate to say."

"I couldn't harm a flea, you know I'm just saying shit."

She sat, arms across her chest, foot nervously tapping the floor. She did not like this at all. This was not random, not when her father was lying in bed in a pool of the victim's blood. This was personal and this was directed at her family. First her father's secret plaything, now her mother's playtoy girlfriend. Who was next?

"We have to solve this."

Erica scoffed at her. "What do you mean we? Do I look like the FBI or something? Girl, bye!"

Kendra walked back into the room rubbing her face. "I feel like crap."

"Aaw, poor tink tink," Jae said to her sister.

Kendra sat beside her and rested her head on her shoulder. "I don't know if I'm built for this baby shit, da fuck?"

"Oh please, if I did it, you can," was Erica's reply.

She rubbed her sister's shoulder. As much as she gave her grief, she was the big sister and she always had her sisters' back.  They grew up close despite being a few years apart. She was always a second mother to them, punishing them when needed when their parents were not around.

"You can do this. Everything happens for a reason, so I know you can. Have you told Desmond yet?"

"No. Really not a good time."

"You gotta make time."

"I'm so scared it's not his."

"Well, deal with that when you need to. Now back to this murder mayhem. Who do you think did it?"

"Hold on, let me put Drake to bed in the crib and I'll be back." Erica headed off to put the sleeping baby away, and good thing because her loud talking could wake him.

Her spare bedroom had a portable that her parents insisted she have at her place for instances like this. Her sister and kid needed a place to crash and they wanted alone time in the house. Fair enough, long as it was not her kid she had to take care of, she did not mind sometimes handling her nephew. With maybe another one on the way.

Better them than her.

Erica came back with a baby monitor in hand. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine and some glasses.

"Oh shit, Kenny you can't drink. More for us," she said as she poured two glasses.

"Aren't you breastfeeding?" Jae asked.

"Hell no! He's ten months now and on formula and baby food. He's good."

Erica walked over and handed her a glass of wine. She took a gulp before she went on.

"You know it might be Frederick."

Kendra slapped her face with her hand.

"Girllll, yo baby daddy may be a lady killer...and not in a good way."

"Stop it!" Erica said to her, but could not hold back her laughter.

"Y'all that ain't funny. Ms. Mystical and Sabrina are dead! That girl baby is gone as well."

Jae knew this was serious, but she could not help herself. "You know that baby may be daddy's right?"

"So? I don't care. Then that means they need to find him," Kendra stated.

"No one would harm a baby, right? They just kidnapped him?" Erica asked

"You know Daddy might have more kids out there."

Erica shook her head. "No, Daddy would tell us."

"What if he doesn't even know? You know he gets around like that. Mom would kill if she knew he had other kids...wait, I don't mean kill."

"You think mommy could have done something to Ms. Mystical? And take the baby?" Kendra stated.

Now, why would she think that? She was a hundred percent sure her father did not do this crime, but with her mother...maybe jealousy finally took over and she went into a rage, followed him to Ms. Mystical's place, crept in, and killed her while her father slept next to her.

Weirdly, she could believe it.

"Not Mom! No!" Erica yelled out. "Are you serious? That's our mother."

"But if she found out about Mystical and the baby-"

"Don't even think that for one second! Mystical probably had five other guys she was fucking, they could have gotten jealous. It wasn't daddy and it wasn't mom, period!" Erica seemed so sure of her statement. She sipped her wine to calm down.

"What about Nicolette?"

"What about Auntie?" Kendra asked.

"Maybe she was jealous. She and Mom, you know...are more than besties."

She once caught her mother and her aunt Nicolette and it was the weirdest thing ever. They looked like sisters, it was so bizarre.

"I don't know," Erica said in deep thought. "I always found her a little shady, but that's just me. And she and Frederick just give me weird as fuck vibes."

Jae nodded and thought of how their marriage always felt fake to her. They barely looked at each other with love in their eyes like her mother and father did. They barely showed any signs of affection for each other. Just seemed as if they wanted to be with other people.

"And you two fucked him! Ew!" Erica added.

She rolled her eyes at that. Guilty as charged.

"Guys, what if it's someone at the club?" Kendra said.

"What do you mean, like one of the dancers?" Erica asked.

"Yes! Mystical was earning top dollar and maybe someone wanted her cut," Jae stated.

"What about Sabrina? She didn't work for us, why kill her?" Erica asked.

"Maybe there are two killers." Jae gulped down the rest of her wine. She needed it. Two killers? No, this had to be connected, it had to be. Someone out to get her family.

"Oh shit!" she screamed out in realization.

"What?"

She let out a groan. "Patient confidentiality, but...one of my patients...I think she's after someone in our family."

"Who?" both her sisters roared out.

"Damn, y'all owls?"

"Shut the fuck up and tell us who?" Erica asked.

"I...just...said...patient confidentiality. I can't tell! Sheesh! Anyway, I got a weird vibe from her."

"It doesn't help if you can't tell us who? I may work with the girl out to get me," Erica said.

"Sorry."

"What about someone in our family?" Kendra dropped that bomb on them.

As big as her family was, and as slimy as some of them were, she could see it. She did not even know all her uncles and aunts from the drugs and the crime and the jail time they were all caught up in. She seriously doubted they would harm their own family member, but crazy was crazy.

"Why would any of our family members kill Mystical?" Erica asked.

"Jealousy, that's the number one reason

"Daddy gives whatever he has to his sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews. He's always helping them. When have they ever helped us?"

"It wasn't family," Erica said and stood up. "If you're going to point fingers at everybody, then point fingers at us. One of us could have done it."

"Motive, dumbass, why would we do it?"

"Jae, yo ass is crazy, do we need more reason."

"Call me crazy again and see these crazy fists rearrange your face."

"I will sit on your lil ass."

She stood up to her way taller than her little sister. "I may be short, but don't let me put my foot up your ass. I whooped your ass when you were a kid and I will whoop it now. Don't let my size fool you."

"Calm down you two before you wake the baby," Kendra said to them. "And I'm tired, are we going to play Law and Order all night or are we going to get some sleep? Let the police handle this."

No, she would not leave it alone. She had a strong feeling about who it could be and she was going to confront them.

A/N: I wanted a chapter outlining the suspects. I may have missed someone...we will see.
