November 31st. D-DAY.*
----
Chris loaded his gun as he waited for his buddy Carl to show up. Carl had been released early on good behavior so Chris recruited to him to get Terri and take her to a secret place. Carl knew what he was supposed to do and was glad to help Chris out. Chris slapped the gun barrel shut after the last bullet was in place and smirked as he pictured his girl and him together for all eternity.
A knock came to the door and Chris yelled for them to come in. Carl hugged his friend as they discussed the plan. After a heated discussion Carl slipped on his Jean Jacket, shades, and wig. He stuffed his gun into his pocket on the inside of his jacket and got Chris' jeep keys and set off to Mana's house. Chris went to the meeting place Carl and him had decided on and bought an issue of Bop magazine and sat down to read as the clock approached 12 NOON.
----12 NOON----
Carl sat the jeep out of sight behind Terri's house and waited until they left at 9:45 for Mana's house and waited 2 hrs ( took a nap ) before following them. He parked the jeep just out of sight of neighbor's eyes and covered up the license plate #'s and walked over to the front door and waited for the target time, 12:12 PM.
' Say bye bye bye to your wife von Detten. She's going where she should have been all along.' he mused as he waited for the right time. ' No-one messes with Chris and gets away without paying a price.'
12:12 PM
Carl straightened up and walked over from the side of the house behind the bushes and to the front door. He had no idea what was going on inside.
Earlier around 10:15am :
Erik and Mana somehow got into a fight and Erik was pinned up against the wall. Terri and Christina yelled at them to stop this. Mana just glared into Erik's eyes and breathed menacingly at him while he was too terrified to move and speak. Christina was confused on what started this fight. Terri just stared at her friend in disbelief. This scene brought up too many painful memories. She fought to cry as she pleaded with Mana in her mind to let Erik go. Finally, she just got over to Mana and tried prying her arms away. She ended up getting punched in the eye twice before Mana realized what she had done and released Erik.
Mana - I'm sorry Terri.
Terri - Yeah right. Bullsh*t.
Mana - I didn't mean for his to happen.
Terri - ( almost crying ) - I thought you had changed. I guess I was wrong.
----
After that No-one could get Terri out of the bedroom until 11:20. After much talking and a shower 4 Terri, things were settled between the two friends. The twins were in the living room watching Tarzan while he other kids were playing with building blocks. Joey and his new girlfriend, 21 yr. old Tressa, were playing the piano and singing ragtime songs down the hall in the Rec. room.
12:12 PM
----
Carl rang the doorbell as Erik was pulled aside by his love as Mana answered the door while Dawn chatted with her new boyfriend of 10 months, Howie.
Erik - What's wrong honey ?
Terri - I need to tell you something important. I haven't found a right time until now so don't get upset.
Erik - Are you okay ?.
Terri - Oh yes I'm fine. It's just that I........
Erik - Just spit it out Sweety.
Terri - Well you see, I'm pr..... -
Mana - Uh Guys? .... Someone's at the door for you but he won't say his name. It's not Chris but this guy won't tell me anything until me,you guys, and Christina come to talk with him. ( sees their faces as they hug tight and is confused ) What's wrong ?.
Erik - Terri was gonna tell me something very important.
Mana - I'm sorry but this guy says it's urgent.
Terri - Okay Mana. Go get Christina.
Erik - ( tilts her chin and kisses her twice ) - Honey ( strokes her hair ), you can tell me now.
Terri - Promise you won't flip out ?.
Erik - Of course.
Terri - ( as they walk to the closed door with Christina and Mana behind them, TV blaring in the background)- I'm not sure how to say this so I'll come out and say it. I'm... I'm... ( takes a deep breath as Erik holds her tight resting his head on top of hers ) It's too hard. ( Erik shushes her and calms her down ) I'm............
Fierce knocking jolts everyone back to reality as Erik and Terri sigh. Mana and Christina look understandingly at them, both wondering what Terri was having hard time telling Erik.
Trying one more time to tell Erik, she gives up as he tells her to wait until later so there wouldn't be any interruptions. Christina opens the door and looks up to a 6'6" colored man, extremely built, wearing sunglasses and faded jeans, and had curly black hair woven into braids on his head. 'Maybe he's a fan and wants an autograph.' she thought as he began to speak.
Carl - I'm here on a friend's business ( staring intently behind his shades at Terri who clung to Erik like a life preserver). (to himself ) 'Damn, She is fine Chris.'
Erik - Who the hell are you ?
Carl - I'm the one asking the questions here bub. You took something of my friends' and now I've come to take it back.
Christina - What are you talking about ?.
Carl whips out his gun and points it as the frightened couple. Everyone gasps and gets down on the floor was Carl said to do, telling Erik and Terri to stay on their knees while everyone else laid on their stomachs, faces the floor and palms on the backs of their heads.
Carl - Now let go of the girl asshole and I won't have a reason to kill you. ( they don't move ). COME ON !!!!!!. ( 2 bullets just whizzed by them denting into the wall ).
Erik - ( panicks and breathes rapidly as does his love ) - I'm not letting her get hurt again.
Carl - I didn't have to miss either time you two. Now get over here Terri or I'll blow your husband's fuking brains out !!!!!!!!!!.
Terri - ( near hysterics ) - Why are you doing this ?. Carl fires again as Terri clutches to Erik and vice-versa. Christina gets shot in the right leg , making everyone see that Carl was deadly serious. Erik couldn't think of what to do except hold on to his angel before he lost her forever.
Carl - Get over here now and I won't kill the genie. ( grabs Christina and holds the gun to her head and holds her in a lock with his other arm ) - Come on.
Christina - Terri, you don't have to do it. It's gonna be alright.
Carl pulls back the lever to activate the trigger as Christina panics and tries to breathe calmly. Erik and Terri slowly walk over as Carl grinned devilishly and kept the gun to Christina's temple. Mana lies frozen on the ground, terrified for her friends and powerless to do anything about it. Chris was gonna get what he wanted unless a miracle happened in the next 20 seconds. Carl threw Christina on the ground violently then kicked her away.
Carl - ( with vengeance and disgust in his voice )- Smart choice dipsh*t. Now say goodbye to your wife 'cause it's the last time you're ever gonna see her again. Hurry up now. I've got a friend who's very anxious to see his love.
Erik - I love you.
Terri - I love you too.
Erik - We'll together no matter what. I promise.
Terri - You will always be the only one I love.
Both were crying as they said tearful good byes. They kissed passionately twice , their tongues in each others mouths and hugged 4 quick times before Carl fired at the ceiling.
Erik reluctantly and slowly released Terri. He tried to deck Carl but he grabbed Erik's fist and threw him hard on the ground before kicking him in the stomach. He shot at Erik and hit his left leg. He shot at Mana, barely missing her head. Carl fired one last shot at a glass vase, spilling the flowers and water everywhere.Terri kicked and struggled in his grasp as Carl took her away from her loved ones and to the jeep that would take her to the person who hurt her so long go.
Terri tried to stall for time, but Carl threw her on the ground and gagged and bound her. The 1st time he tried, she almost got away but he grabbed her arm and threw her down harder then intended. Finally he blindfolded her twice and plugged her ears up then kissed her on the cheek as he threw her in the backseat. After he covered her up, he started up the jeep and sped off to pick up Chris.
---- At an abandoned high rise building in LA 30 min. away---- Terri groaned as she woke up with a killer headache and back pain. Her thoughts immediately went to her baby, wondering if it was okay. She felt a flutter sighed with happiness and relief 20 min. later when it came. She still couldn't see where she was but she knew Chris and his MIB had brought her here. Terri heard two doors open and close numerous times before she sensed Chris walking over to her. After the furniture and the rest of the essentials were moved in, Chris un-gagged, blinded, and un-plugged his love and kissed her as she spit on him afterwards. Next thing she knew, Chris kissed her again sticking his tongue in her mouth and she felt a hand sting her cheek. She was smacked again after swearing at the men. Chris' lips grazed her cheek as she held still. Trying to remain calm wasn't easy. Chris put one last move on her before making a phone call to Erik ( he kissed Terri like they were making out and broke away from her to use his cell-phone).
