Cecilio was packing up to leave the school were he taught Taekwondo he had been uneasy all day his colleague had asked if he was fine and needed a break but he declined he pulled out his phone to check what time it was 10:50 pm Saturday November twenty third, it was the day Rosa was meant to return leon's money he called Jacinto immediately asking if Rosa had returned Jacinto replied that she had already left to meet up with Leon Cecilio flinched he got worried sick he asked Jacinto where they were meeting up,he turned to his colleague and asked him to help pack up alone that he had something to do Cecilio rushed out before the man could utter another word leaving him in a daze.
Hola amigo leon greeted formally as soon as Rosa walked in,why did you want to meet up here?she asked ignoring his greetings,the building was very shallow and dark it had a creepy atmosphere there were boxing equipment scattered around it was almost an empty building,dusty and pale;that didn't bother rosa much what began to bother her was that she was alone with leon she thought he would at least bring one guard but he didn't be came alone holding a bottle of tequila and a cigar in his mouth,he had informed her to come alone but never said anything about him coming alone too,she knew he was up to something she had informed parez of her whereabout at soon as she got there asking him to come pick her up in thirty minutes.
This place belonged to me and Antonio we used to box together I never liked boxing but I did it anyway cause Antonio found pleasure in punching things he was such an animal did you know that? Leon said cheekily, cut the crap leon here's your money I got it now leave me the hell alone Rosa said tossing the bag at him,did you really think it was going to end like this?what is this a movie?leon chuckled lightly and walked towards her even in movies the bad guy dies, he pulled his gun out and pointed at Rosa's head,she didn't move nor did she beg she stood still staring at him eye ball to eye ball, you think you are tough huh? No I don't think so I just kinda guessed this was going to happen so get it over with maybe if I die everyone can get to live a normal life Rosa said her voice barely a whisper;
Rosa!! Cecilio's voice was heard from behind,rosa flinched never expecting him to be here,he walked towards her pulling her behind him,leon let's talk about this calmly please put the gun down Cecilio begged No I'm not gonna do it she deserves death just like Antonio deserved it she had no fear and sold my drugs in that scumbags name what she doing? Testing my paitence?huh leon asked no one in particular he already had too much to drink and he had taken a large amount of drugs before getting here and it was beginning to kick in,he began to laugh uncontrollably swinging the gun around dangerously Cecilio slowly walked to him pulling Leon's arm with all his straight upwards Leon's finger had been on the trigger he mistakenly pulled the trigger and it hit the ceiling leon kept struggling to free himself from Cecilio's grip Cecilio yelled to Rose, run I'll meet you outside, at first she didn't go but then she ran off running towards the hill like something was after her till she heard the police siren only then did she stop from a distance she could hear them moving towards the building she just left she stared at the building till she heard another gun shot; her heart sank into the deep ocean and the birds in the trees scattered away. there were lots of cops scattered around trying to find out the situation she forged ahead counting her steps as she walked pushing herself tirelessly
Her mind went blank for a second her phone suddenly rang it was parez looking at the time it was 11:20 on the dot,a rush of regrets came flowing she felt she had made a terrible mistake she should have asked parez to come with her or even come earlier better still she could have stayed with Cecilio,she tried to blame Cecilio by thinking it was because he was nosy that was why he was in that situation but looking back Cecilio had only been nosy when it came to her business because he truly cared about her,after everything cicelio did for she couldn't even help him this once she regretted deeply there was a lot of emotions stirring up in her; did he die? She suddenly asked herself looking up at the dark clouds she prayed, lord i know I do not deserve to ask for anything but this isn't for me it's for Cecilio please "let him live" he was a good soul and he loved everyone around him including Me;tears came rushing down uncontrollably it had been close to eight years since she shed a tear but today she was in a lot of pain she cried loudly clenching her chest her legs felt weak she couldn't walk anymore she let herself fall to her knees;If he dies I will never forgive myself she said out loud.
