“So, in summary... You want me to capture and bring you a woman you didn't know before this year began, but then kill your son, huh?”Don Fabrizio took a deep breath and then exhaled as she asked him this; he had never looked at it this way. But, even hearing her out to him so bluntly was not going to change his mind about what he'd decided to do.“Yes... Yes, kill my son and bring me the woman..”The woman before him puffed a tremendous amount of smoke out of her mouth after taking a long, deep drag from the cigarette in her hand and then said:“You're a sick man..”Aylla Pedro, the woman who was sitting across from him as they sat in this abandoned and cordoned-off building, was a thirty-three-year-old woman who led a group of rebels known as 'Les Latinas De La Muerte’ which accepted only females into their group, females who were tired of being ruled by men, who wanted to carve a path to success for themselves and who didn't mind getting their hands stained with blood in the proces
“I'm sorry, Gio..”“Mercedes.. Shut up..”“No, let me take responsibility..”“Mercedes.. I said 'Shut up’..”The moment they'd both woken up from the rest they'd taken after the fiery pleasure session Gio had initiated, Mercedes had started trying to apologize for 'causing him pain’. She blamed all the unfortunate events that had befallen them both on herself; his stabbing, the fact that he'd nearly died, the fact that he could no longer have his regular life, the fact that he was a target for so many reasons, and hated immensely both by his father and Aleksandr Matiç.He had now come to sit by her and she was leaning her weight slightly on him and running one finger on all his tattoos (and they were many), having missed his touch and the feel of him but also being careful so as not to hurt him, seeing as his back was still heavily bandaged.“No, no, I won't... Let me speak, Gio... Let me speak... Promise you won't interrupt..”“Mercedes.. You don't have to take responsibility for any
“What have you got?”“Well, just a whole lot of nothing, that's what..”Omari Sutton, Snyder Hamilton, Paz, and Selena Diaz had all hit Buena Comida with a good number of officers from the Tijuana Police Department, to try and investigate and find any kind of clue as to who he was, the plans her had and see if they could piece enough from the scraps they would get to decipher where he was now.Paz and Selena were scouting the dining area and surroundings of the restaurant while Omari and Snyder were in his office, sniffing around for anything they could find.Omari had gone through everything possible, even thoroughly examining his locker, drawers, and papers, hoping to get something. There was a laptop on the table and although there was going to be information there for them to use, it was locked since neither of them knew the password, it was like a goldmine they didn't have the resources to capitalize on.“All that's in these papers are legal documents and plans for the establishm
“Hey, are you alright?”“Oh, yeah... Nothing serious... The baby's kicking.. hard..”Ruby had noticed that her companion (Mercedes) had been uncomfortable for a while as they had both gone together in Ruby's car to get some more provisions to stock the house up, for Gio, Gabi, and the two women to have enough to eat as they anticipated attack.They'd intentionally left by 6:30 in the evening, as Gio had suggested, to take advantage of the cover of the night and darkness and hide from whoever it was that would be secretly looking out for them. Gio had been so worried about Mercedes leaving without him, certain that he was the only one who could keep her safe, and she was skeptical, too, but it was determined that Ruby and Mercedes, being the two women, would be the only ones to know what groceries they would need and that Mercedes’ Spanish would be very useful in communicating with the traders.Gio, however, had made sure that Mercedes went with a phone that had his number saved on it,
The following morning, Omari, Snyder, Paz, and Selena were at the scene on the road where the clash had happened, and they couldn't believe their eyes.“So.. Hold on, let me get this straight... On one side, one side of the car, there's a lot of blood, broken glass, spent bullets, blah blah... And then, on the other side... There's not even a shard of glass... How the fuck es something like that even happen?”Paz was confused and trying to get answers from her compatriots, even though none of them had any for her.“It makes little sense, and there are no CCTV cameras around like at the restaurant... And even if there were, looking at the lighting system and pattern of this area, it would surely have been too dark to make out any faces or sense of the images we would have seen,” Selena added.“So.. What have we been able to get from the car?” Omari asked, determined to get something, at least, from, the entire outing.“Well... There's a wallet in the car... Probably belongs to whoever
After Gio had willingly sacrificed his freedom for those of Mercedes, Gabi, and Ruby, to say that Mercedes was grieving for him was a massive understatement.She hadn't stopped crying for the past three days; not even for a minute. She'd wept to a point where there were no more tears to cry, and all she was doing was whimpering; she'd cried her eyes out, nearly literally. She'd rejected food, no matter how light or heavy, and she had sat in a corner of Ruby's house, unmoved. Whatever food was brought to her would remain untouched until Ruby or Gabi would have to come and take it away before insects surrounded it.Her hair was a shabby mess, her clothes were drenched with sweat, her face was swollen by the excessive tears, and she had lost a little weight. She hadn't spoken a word to either Gabi or Ruby since then.This had taken a massive toll on Gabi and Ruby, as they couldn't sleep for long or even enjoy any peace while having to hear Mercedes crying all day and all night.Currentl
“Where is she, you traitorous bastard?”The stony silence from Gio further incensed Don Fabrizio and caused him to nod his head towards the man with the whip, and this enforcer duly thrashed down on Gio's back with the nail-embedded whip.“Arrghhhhhh!!!”The screams from Gio's lips filled the room as he felt his flesh being ripped into by the nails and thumbtacks that had been strategically fitted into the whip to make each stroke ten times as painful as it would have been with an ordinary whip.He was chained, his two hands high above his head, and his legs just above the ground, making it very difficult for him to breathe and increase the pain because his frame was overstretched.He had been whipped well over a hundred times, and his bloodied back was a testament to this.This torture had gone on for the past three hours, and it had continued because Gio had refused to disclose Mercedes’ location.“Why do you punish yourself so much, boy? This is a woman that means nothing to you! S
***LOS ANGELES, USA***Mia Compton and Riot Langston were seated in Riot's Ford truck with the fellow who had accosted them at the coffee shop and listening to what he had to say.Mia was in the backseat, while Riot, who sat in the driver's seat, kept her full stare on the man in the front passenger seat as he spoke:“My name is Frank Gallas... I worked at Tequila for many years as one of their major distributors-”“Tequila doesn't deal in wholesaling drinks, so what the fuck are you talking about, 'major distributor’?” Mia impatiently cut in, not trusting this fellow one bit.As she said this, Riot touched her hand gently, as though to say 'Calm Down’. This singular action sent shivers down Mia's spine and made her obediently seal her lips. Riot had gained such a heavy influence over her in such a short period that even she couldn't explain or justify it.“When I say I was a distributor, ma'am,” Frank continued with a half smile on his face, “I didn't mean of drinks... I mean of drug
