The webcams were extremely easy to set up. They were tiny and nearly invisible, even that cop wouldn’t see them. Of that Bryon was sure. He simply planted the cameras when the house was entirely empty. He broke in easily, just as easily as he had escaped from prison and planted the little cameras in three different corners.

Then he sat his apartment sharpening his knife and watching. He couldn’t recover his original knife but his new one was pretty sharp, he smirked at the nice slashes they would make on Bette’s skin.

He licked his lips thinking of her thighs, he always loved her thighs, they would pierce so easily under his blade and tightened when he entered her.

His fantasies were put on hold when the door opened and Tina walked into the house holding a mocha-skinned baby and walking beside a full-grown German Shepard dog.

"Children," Bryon said smirking viciously. Though he refrained from hurting children he would do it if it meant controlling Bette even more.

Tina set down the baby in her playpen then started unbuttoning the vest of her police uniform.

The door opened and a little boy ran excitedly. He immediately hugged Tina’s legs lovingly and Bette walked in after him shutting the door behind her. Bryon observed the boy, he seemed to be around seven years old, he was darker than Bette but lighter than him.

Bryon leaned in closer and saw that the boy had a small little mole on his temple. Bryon smirked, every single man in his family had that same mole including himself.

"She had my son," Bryon said grinning, "oh my boy, when I’m done with your mother I’ll kill her and that white cop bitch too. I’ll take you away and show you how to be a real man."

Tina woke up to her alarm clock. She had an early shift today so she just let Bette sleep. She would take Reed to school then go straight to work. Bette didn’t even stir from the sound of the alarm, the exhibition was tiring her out.

She got up quietly to wake Reed and start getting ready. It was the quietest she’d ever done her routine. Reed got dressed, ate breakfast, she got dressed and her coffee, and Oz had his breakfast and daily walk without even disturbing Bette or Angie from their sleep.

Tina led Oz out with his leash and held Reed’s Transformers back pack with her other hand.

"You showed Momma B your homework?" Tina said buckling Reed in the car.

"Yes mommy," Reed said, "today we’re reading The Magic Schoolbus."

Tina smiled, "that’s an old book, I didn’t think the Elementary schools still used it."

"Ms. Rogers calls herself ‘old fashioned,’ I don’t know what that means," Reed said grinning.

"That means she’s cool," Tina said driving out of the driveway. After dropping off Reed at school she headed to work. When she arrived she was met with the worried expressions of Max and Jake.

"Guys what’s going on?" Tina said.

"You didn’t hear?" Jake said anxiously.

Tina shook her head as a worried expression crossed her features.

"Last week…" Max started.

"Sweeny!" Tasha hollered running outside with a sheet of paper, "Bryon’s been spotted in this motel!"

"Bryon! What!" Tina yelled in alarm.

"He escaped last week Tina, we don’t know how he did it…" Jake said.

"Oh my God I need to get Bette now!" Tina cried tears slipping down her cheeks in fear. Oz barked in alarm from inside the car.

"Kennard no one deals with this guy alone!" Tasha shouted running to the car, "Porter, Sweeny, check out the motel." She turned to Tina, "you and I will get Bette."

Tina got in the driver’s side as Tasha settled in the passenger side. She handed Tina a smaller gun, it was a second police gun that was normally given to undercover cops.

"In case he forces us to get rid of our main weapons," Tasha said, "hide it under your boot. Even if he frisks us he won’t be able to find it."

Tina started the car and fumbled with her seatbelt desperately murmuring, "oh my God, oh my God."
