EIGHT YEARS LATER
Did The cops see you? Parez hurriedly asked jacinto as soon as they walked into the building,dropping the bag of money jacinto replied I'm pretty sure I wasn't seen but the car was, what do we do now rosa asked us to be very careful not to alert the cops at all this is a huge mess parez said visibly stressed.there was a huge explosion heard outside parez and jacinto flinched and hurriedly Ran outside staring at rosa in disbelief,she had just lighted the car that was used for the robbery without bating an eye.
I thought I said be very careful Rosa said sternly,we were but suddenly the cops showed up.... Rosa cut jacinto between his sentence,I don't need your explanation get the money Cecilio will be here in ten minutes,I can't believe she lit a Porsche without thinking for another second.
Hey tigress your rides here Cecilio called out to Rosa sitting in a blue truck,you're late Rosa mumbled as she neared him,sorry traffic issues Cecilio apologized. what are you going to do with the money?cicelio asked giving It to an old fellow who can provide drugs and protection for us the cops are heavily on our tail we need a plan B
Or we could just call quits,it's not like we'll get arrested for doing nothing Cecilio said looking at her, eyes on the road dimwit rosa said ignoring the question ,so where are we headed now? Jacinto asked,Revillagigedo island hopefully leon will be nice Rosa responded.
Cecilio couldn't help but wonder why Rosa wanted to keep the business was she addicted to drug dealing that couldn't be cause she didn't even do drugs she was just a heavy drinker,Antonio had died in a gun fight with the cops and the drug ship sank but Rosa refused to live a normal life,she insisted on selling drugs and had been in and out of prison for the past four years,a few times she swallowed drugs to destroy evidence, till date the cops are strongly on her tail but she refused to give up holding unto a life Antonio shaped for her, cecilio had always wanted freedom but Rosa had begged him to stay reminding him that they were family,but cicelio never stayed because she begged he stayed cause he cared about her and he wanted to take care of her even if it costed him his freedom he did stay.parez used to be one of his dad's men but when Antonio died he couldn't go home he had been disowned by his family with no where to go he decided to stay with Rosa they had met jacinto when fleeing the city that used to be there drug hound on the streets half dead not knowing anything about him cecilio carried him on his back while they left ever since then jacinto has been one of them.
Welcome friends Leon welcomed in a strong Mexican accent, please help yourself let's dine and wine together like one big familia Leon added, Leon we need to talk Rosa said sternly ah no no my dear not today,today I am hosting a party and you are right on time tonight we dine tomorrow we kill Leon said in a play full tone giving a weird Mexican laugh.
we should all be very careful if there's anything I know about Leon it's that he's a two faced phyco Rosa warned as they joined the party.
Leon the heart of the drug world he used to be Antonio's best friend but soon enough they became enemies and rivals, nobody knew why they became enemies Leon was the only person capable enough to have helped Antonio from the cop invasion but rumors had it that he had helped with the cop invasion cecilio doubted that Leon would help them at all.
Leon set a full feast for breakfast the next morning sitting at the head of the table he stared at cecilio creepily before finally speaking you are nothing like your father lio(short term for cecilio)but you remind me so much of Mary she had a beautiful soul but fell for a monster Leon said calmly sipping the wine from his glass
No one gave you the right to talk about my family Leon cecilio snapped at him,Leon this wasn't the reason we drove six hours to come see you Rosa said uneasily Rosa my dear I can tell the reason you are here; Antonio's business already sank but you refuse to let it go what did that man do to your soul,you sold your soul to the devil child Leon added. that's still not what I want to hear Leon Rosa said with her voice slightly pitched,Rosa the Truth is bitter Leon added. Antonio has been nothing but kind to me you are not in the place to judge him you are the evil one here you let the cops invade Antonio's ship and you sat and did nothing about it what kind of friend are you? Rosa snapped at Leon loudly, kindness is a lie there no such thing as kindness when Antonio picked you up from the garbage he did nothing but put you in a hell bound pouring into your ears a piece of his soul setting your gentle soul on fire and turning you feelings numb if that is what you call kindness then I'd never be kind to anyone Leon said a little pissed,Rosa sat back down totally shut of words cecilio suddenly broke the awkward silence what happened between you and my dad even as a child I could tell that you loved my dad like a brother did you really want his wife? Cecilio asked. your father has destroyed more lives than the devil has cecilio, Leon started I remember clearly how I felt that day your father lied to my face that Mary had died in the fire I asked questions but he kept lying how did the fire start? where were you and the little boy? why are you refusing an autopsy wanting to bury her Immediately? finally I asked how do you feel about her death? and he said how am I supposed to feel sad?, I blamed myself greatly for Mary's death Antonio never loved Mary I should have noticed sooner,Mary was a beautiful,young farm girl who I fell for at first sight but she feel in love with Antonio instead I immediately stepped back from pursuing her after Antonio told me he liked her too,I asked a million times if he wanted Mary truly but he kept lying that he cared about her soon enough she got pregnant and had a son and your dad asked me to name the boy I refused to cause this was his first child he should be excited to name his first child but it felt like he didn't want this child at all at the end I named the kid cecilio meaning blind cause I was too blind and didn't notice Sooner that Antonio never wanted commitment two years later Mary came to me crying and when I asked she only mumbled the words I'm tried I had to do something to help I found out that Antonio turned the house to a drug hound too he brought drugs home traded at home too brought his crazy friends to the house they drank and did drugs with Antonio carrying a two year old kid showing him things he wasn't supposed to see I begged Antonio to quit drugs but he accused me of wanting his wife,a full year passed and not much changed suddenly the cops had known he's drug house they caused a lot of trouble for him it looked like someone was following him and telling the cops he had someone investigate who it was, when he found out it was Mary and he shot her without bating an eye and lit his own house on fire all in front of his Three year old son,I came to pay my respect and you(pointing at cecilio)came running to me and said uncle Leon dad was playing Russian roulette with mum and she lost you said with your tiny toddler voice(Russian roulette:this is a wheel stimulating famous game, Russian roulette normally a 6-shooter revolver is emptied of all but one bullet)I had mixed emotions of anger,guilt and pain but the moment Antonio lied to my face hatred overwhelmed me this was a man I gave up the woman I loved for because I loved my best friend more and I valued our friendship I guess it was just me thinking that way,now I hate him more than I hate the devil even In death,so if the reason you're here today is to ask me to give you drugs so you would sell in Antonio's name then you'd better think twice Leon concluded gulping down the rest of the wine in his glass.
What do you want from us Leon if you won't help us then why are you keeping us?Rosa asked,cause you are going to be important to me I believe you like Doing drugs so much so why don't you work for me I'll give you the drugs for free and Access to cross the border to sell the drugs in my name Leon said,and what makes you think that I'd do that Rosa said to him
do you have a choice Rosalind?
