Veronica is awakened by her phone as it blares in her ear at 3am. She looks at the caller ID to see its Octavio so she smiles to herself before she answers.It’s been 15 years since Octavio graduated high school. He is a world-renowned neurosurgeon now. He settled in Houston after he met the love of his life Gloria.“It’s late Oct. Is ever-“ She is cut off by the sounds of her sons screams and cries on the other end.“MAMA. THEY TOOK HER. THEY FUCKING TOOK HER.”“What are you talking about?”“THEY TOOK GLORIA MAMA. YOU HAVE TO GET HER BACK.”“I will baby. Tell me everything you know.” Veronica says calmly as she quickly gets out of bed. Luis feeling her getting out of bed on the phone he follows her.Veronica heads into the closet and starts getting dressed so Luis does the same. He calls Vicente, Hector, and Gavin to get ready.“I don’t know who they are. I just got a video of them beating her mama. It was awful.” Oct says through his sobs.“Send me the video baby and whatever else y
“The teams have been mobilized.”“Good. We are going to land in Newark. Vicente can you have your Echo team there and waiting with a clean vehicle for us and a safe house?”“Yes, all of it will be ready.”Vicente to Echo team: Clean vehicles for us and you. Need safe house set up now. Landing in Newark in 3 hours.“Babe can you have Javier go to Octavio to keep in calm?”“Yes, baby. I’ll send him right now.”Luis kisses her forehead as he wraps his arm around her shoulders.Luis to Javier: Papa I need you to go to Octavio and keep him calm now please.Javier: What’s going on?Luis: Someone took Gloria but we have found her and are headed there now.Javier: On my way. Be safe.Luis: We will.“He is headed to Oct now.”Just then there is a call on Veronica’s phone from an unknown number.‘Hello?’ She asks in an authoritative voice as she answers the phone while it is on speaker.‘That was fast Donna.’ Peter sneers from the other side of the phone.‘What are you talking about?’‘I didn’t
He pulls Vicente and Gavin to the front of the plane. They pull the dead pilots out of the cockpit and Luis gets into the captain’s chair and Gavin into the co-pilots chair.Luis shuts off the auto pilot and flies the plane back to the regular path they need to go to Newark.Veronica is crying in the back as Vicente holds her and Hector looks on at the door of the cockpit. He knows that Luis can fly but didn’t think he would be able to handle this big of a plane.“Hector I need you to make sure that Veronica is okay. We can handle this.”“Yes, Jefe.”Hector heads back to where Veronica is. She is crying uncontrollably.“Jefa. It’s okay El Jefe knows how to fly. Him and Gavin have control now and we will be okay.”Veronica looks up at him through her tear-filled eyes. When she realizes that the plane is no longer shaking she stands up and runs to the cockpit.“Baby are you okay?” Luis asks. Worry evident in his tone.“You are truly amazing my love.” She says with a wide smile on her fa
Veronica and Vicente’s eyes go wide as they realize a second too late what Luis is going to do.Vicente grabs the gun from him after the shot is fired and Luis coming back to his senses realizes what he has done.They both quickly turn to look at Peter to see no one standing there. They both get a sickening feeling as they look to the floor. There in a pile on the floor is Peter on top of Veronica in a pool of blood.Vicente pushes Luis back as Hector goes to check both bodies. Luis is screaming and crying that he has killed her.Hector pushes Peter off of Veronica and checks his pulse and he is dead. Then he goes to check Veronica.He carefully rolls her over to find a graze across her right shoulder. She is unconscious though and has a fate heartbeat so he’s not sure if she’s been shot of if there is something else and then he sees it.A bullet hole in her left shoulder from the back. He looks in front of him in the direction that the bullet came from to find one of their people wit
“Jefe. Her numbers are improving. I’m going to go get the doctor.” The nurse runs out of the room to get the doctor. By the time he comes back Veronica is slowly opening her eyes. She looks to Luis and squeezes his hand which makes him burst into tears.She tries to lift her hand but she can’t with the pain she is in.The doctor checks that all the vitals are correct that are on the screens. He nods and removes the breathing tube.Luis kisses her lips before she can even speak. “I’m so sorry my love.” He says with tears running down his cheeks.“Stop babe. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Veronica says with a weak scratchy voice.Luis presses his forehead against hers. “I thought I was going to lose you.”“I told you before you are not getting rid of me that easy my love.” Veronica says with a small chuckle.Veronica winces as she tries to move her arm again.“Are you in pain?”“Just a little.”The doctor gives her a pain shot and adds a pain medicine to her IV drip.“Jefa. I am surpris
“Here.”“What about Alpha and Bravo teams?”“They are here but they don’t know that Charlie team is bad. Based on what I am seeing, they have all been either bought off or replaced.”“Send notice to Vicente as well as the Alpha and Bravo team leads to come here now.”Cody nods and sends the notice out. Within a minute they are all at the door where Gavin opens it and allows them all to enter.“We have a big issue.” Gavin says. “Cody please show them all.”Cody pulls up the footage showing Charlie team taking Javier from the airport and then them at the warehouse killing him and coming back to the castle to guard.“What the fuck?” Vicente yells out. “You and you deal with those fuckers now.” She says to the team leads.“Yes, boss.” They say with a smile.They all exit the office and head into the living room.“I need you all to come to the middle of the room right now. Around Veronica. Now.” Vicente says in a stern tone.“What the fuck Vic?”“Don’t ask questions right now just do what
“Of course, my love.” Luis says sweetly.They all leave and Gloria moves to sit in front of Veronica so she can see her.“Are you okay Mrs. Molina? Can I get you anything?”“No dear. I am fine. I want you to know that I am very happy for you and my son. He has had a horrible life and you make him happier than I thought we would ever see him. But if you hurt him, I swear I will kill you. Do you understand me?”“Yes, Jefa. I promise I will not hurt him. He is my life. I love him so much. Actually, I haven’t told him yet but I just found out while the doctor was checking me out after you saved me. I’m pregnant. Can you help me tell Octavio? I’m so scared. I think it’s too early and I don’t want him to be upset with me. And-““Breathe please Gloria. He will be thrilled. I will be happy to be here holding your hand while you tell him about my grandchild.” Veronica says with a smile as she tries to and fails to put her hand on her belly.Gloria sits closer so she can touch her belly.“Are y
As soon as the doctor comes into the room, Luis starts asking questions. “Doctor what’s going on? Why is she in so much pain now?”“I’m not sure yet Jefe. Please let me examine her. Would you help me take off her shirt so I can look at her wounds?”Luis nods and helps the doctor take off Veronica’s shirt. The doctor removes the bandages to examine the wounds themselves to make sure there is no infection. “All the wounds look good. I don’t see any infection.”Just then Veronica screams in pain as she doubles over clutching her stomach.“There’s something else going on. We need to get her to the hospital to see if we can figure it out soon. I am going to give her a pain shot so we can transport her without her being in so much pain.”Luis doesn’t say anything, he just nods in understanding. The doctor gives her a shot and Luis scoops her up just as she passes out from the pain. Octavio and Gloria come running in followed by Christopher and Tiffany.“What’s going on? Where are you taking
