Toni POV
"A follow-up of the missing Toni Braxton, it has been 3 days since the report and now we have a video of the singer, if you have kids watching at home we should warn you of what you are going to see." They began to play the video that Janet and Randy made of me 5 days ago. It's now October 1st, and Janet and I are closer than ever. She said that she doesn't want the money anymore and wanted to run away with me, Randy, and their mother.
"Damn it, Randy? How do we call all of this off?" I'm sitting in Janet's lap still watching the tv.
"There is nothing we can do." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"But I don't what y'all to go to jail." I looked between the both of them and they looked like they were as sad as me.
"I will take the fall for it," Randy said quickly.
"Like hell you are," Janet said annoyed.
"Janet it's ok you and Toni can change your names live life get married have some babies, take care of mom. It will be fine." I looked at Janet and she was fuming.
"No it will not be fine, you are my family and you are not going anywhere! I lost Daddy and I'm sure as hell not losing you." She yelled. I rubbed her back and kissed her neck to get her to calm down.
"Janet you found love and I'm happy for you and I don't want to take that away from you, I have nothing to lose!"
"Yes, you do! Mother, me, and now Toni. She lost her little brother and she feels like she just gained a big brother." I nodded my head in agreement.
"Ok fine, but we have to think of something," Randy said giving up on his plan and moving on.
"What about the man who hired you guys?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, what's his name?" Janet asked, I began to play with her pretty necklace that I love so much.
"I think his name was Craig." I immediately looked up.
"Craig what?" I said frequently.
"I don't know a nigga named Craig," Randy said laughing causing Janet to laugh.
"Stop joking for real what's his last name," I whined getting annoyed.
"Calm down buttercup, um...I think his last name is Baumgard." My eyes widened, and tears started to come to my eyes. Janet looked at me with so much concern. She looked at Randy who was just as concerned and confused as her.
"Buttercup what's wrong?" She pulled me in a hug, as she rubbed my back.
"That's my manager," I said sobbing out my words.
"What?" Both of them yelled out loud.
"Craig has been my manager since the beginning. I trusted him." Tears continue to fall out, Janet quickly wiped my tears as they fell.
"That's fucked up, maybe we can get a confession out of him." Randy thought.
"Yeah, buttercup please don't cry we can figure something out," Janet said still wiping my tears in between kissing my puffy face.
"Ok, but before we think of something I need time to do my meditation." Janet chuckled but understood. I told her about my PTSD and understood why I had that breakdown the first night.
"Ok buttercup, we will let you be." She kissed the top of my head and was about to walk out until I stopped her.
"No, join me." I smiled. She gladly nodded her head and joined me down on the floor.

"Yes, Randy," Janet said as she laughed at the name.
"I think I got a plan."
"Great tell us the plan," I said getting excited.
"It's a bit of a doozy."
"Nigga if you don't say the plan already," Janet said annoyed. Causing me to laugh.
"Ok so..."
