Not for a girl

Eric struggled to regain his composure as he approached the library door. Tucked in the back of his pants and tucked away in his holster was his large hunting knife. For a second, he wondered if he was doing the right thing by going to meet Raymond. He had hoped to convince him that their revenge plan could still succeed without sacrificing Nana. He still hoped for that outcome, but it wasn't ideal for Nana to be in this house.Upstairs, Nana was in a vulnerable state. If something happened to him, he knew she wouldn't have a chance to escape. Eric screwed up, plain and simple. He let his emotions take over and acted recklessly towards Celia, who would probably sell him and Nana out at the right opportunity. For all he knew, she did.There was only one way to find out, though, and Eric was determined to follow through, one way or another. He opened the door and entered the library. Four pairs of eyes turned to greet him, and they belonged to Felipe, Raymond, Jair, and Nancy. Each man

Clear to me

"Celia?" man repeats. I kept the gun in my hand, but didn't know what to do. I looked towards Celia. Her eyes were as wide as saucers, but her hands were still raised and calm, “It's Felipe. Please put down your gun." “Eric said don't let anyone in. I think Felipe is included in that too,” I said. It felt so hazy, the world around me blurred as I considered shooting my way out of the room. “Please, Kitten! Do not be silly. Felipe will never let you out of here alive if you don't put your gun away," she pleaded. “Tell him to go,” I hissed. “He will know something is wrong. I would never tell him what to do,” she said. There was a loud knock on the door and a burst of Spanish, "Celia, open the door now or I'll knock it down." I almost vomited in my mouth at the thought of confronting Felipe. I looked at Celia and she frantically wiped her tears. “Go to the door,” I said. “What will she do?” Celia sniffled. “Ask him where Eric is,” I urge. Celia nodded and crawled slowly toward

Cry for him

The nausea had been in Johnny's stomach for almost an hour. That's nothing new; it followed him many times in certain cases. The world is a sick, crazy place that he has faced more than ever, but this case is on track to become a nightmare he will remember forever. Each Agent has a case that haunts them. Yena and Eric will be his obsession.Some interesting results have surfaced on facial recognition systems, the national identity network, and the Department of Homeland Security's databases. Johnny and several other Agents have been putting the pieces together over the past five hours.“I think Karachi makes the most sense in terms of databases,” said Agent William. She had flown in from Virginia just as the sensitive nature of the case became clearer."I agree. The boys at the FIA won't like it when we have to talk about it, but it looks like Doretti Raymond used military resources to cover up his human trafficking organization," Johnny said.Karachi is a coastal city, easily accessi

Coffee

"Wait!" Williams suddenly spoke up, startling Johnny."What?"“Well, not really relevant, but…” She handed Johnny one of the files. “Vladek attended university in the US. He went to the University of Oregon,” she whispered."So what?"'How about checking the date,' she replied emphatically.“He didn't finish his studies. He was there from 80 to 82.” Awareness slowly dawned in Johnny, and he felt bitter bile creep up his throat. “James Caliph was born in 1983. In Oregon.”"Don't you think so?"“Yena Ruiz once mentioned that Raymond wanted revenge on Vladek, something to do with his mother and sister. Looks like Vladek killed them, at least Raymond said so. I'm starting to think that everything that comes out of his mouth is bullshit."“Do you want me to find James' birth certificate?”“Yes, do it. Did you call the Deputy Director and tell him we think the auction will take place at the military base in Karachi?”“I told him an hour ago, I think he may have already started the investiga

So you want her?

“I'm finally going to prove her wrong about me…” “You're something more, Eric. I turned you into something more. I turned you into a man! I have freed you! I make others tremble in fear of you. Who were you before you met me? Keleb! That's you! A dog." Raymond slammed the glass down on the small table next to the chair and then kicked Nancy with his foot. Nancy's sobs quickly filled the room, but she covered her mouth with both hands to stop them. Raw, raw rage ran through Eric's veins, he had never wanted to attack Raymond so much. Only the thought of Nana restrained his hand. Her life was in danger and the responsibility to keep her safe remained with Eric. “I know who I am, Raymond. I know what I am. And I know I owe you everything. He told me a lot about loyalty, but just a few minutes ago he was ready to knock me down to protect Jair, and no one else. Where's the loyalty?" “I told myself that you couldn't help yourself, that something had happened to make you this way, that ma

A secret

On his way back to his room, he ran into Felipe in the foyer.“God, you look so serious tonight,” Felipe's heavy voice made Eric pause. Felipe stepped forward and led him to one of the makeshift bars he had set up for tomorrow night's party. “I believe you can have a drink, my friend.”Felipe stepped behind the counter and poured them both a low glass of bourbon. He handed Eric a glass and then raised his own, saying, “For a long life filled with love.” He finished his drink and set the glass down on the counter when Eric didn't answer.“I realize I owe him gratitude, but I lack it at the moment,” Eric said.Felipe smiled, "Yes, that's close enough.""Why are you helping me?" Eric asked skeptically.Felipe shrugged, “I'm a romantic. Plus, I don't like bloodshed in my house. Very dirty.” Felipe's expression turned questioning, "What are you going to do, Eric?"Eric didn't believe Felipe. “Raymond asked to take over the training of Kittens. We will leave the day after tomorrow. That wou

Their children

"Why? Why now? In all this time you've never given me any information,” Eric said through clenched teeth. Felipe wanted Eric to do something. So that means he can't be trusted. Eric's mind reeled at the thought of how to get rid of him. Still, Eric wanted to hear what Felipe had to say. Maybe he can use that to sway Raymond.“I am a merchant, Eric. One cannot achieve my level of success without being able to see the opportunity. Twenty years ago, I saw an opportunity to escape my life as a lieutenant and become a general. Raymond was very useful then. Six years ago, I saw an opportunity to expand my business by eliminating the competition. I now own half of Mexico and do business around the world. Raymond has become…less useful, and as I said, he asks for a lot – too much. You gave me a chance, Eric. In return, I can tell you the truth about who you are and where you come from.”“Admitting that you want Raymond out of the way gives me no reason to trust you,” Eric said in a low voice.

We make our own family

Eric woke up. His head ached, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his chest. He pushed the sitter back on his heels and raised a hand over his head. It was covered in blood when it was lifted. He looked down at the blood on his hand. There had been too much blood on Eric's hands all these years. He sniffled. “He left you there, Eric. You are his revenge. Everyone knows that. The war broke out and he left you to rot there. No one dared to beat Raymond after that, not even after seeing what he could do. Even criminals know how to love their families, their children." He wanted to tell himself that there was no truth in what Felipe had told him, but he had to admit…it was very likely. Raymond lied to him about how he met Vladek. After everything he and Raymond had shared, Eric couldn't think of any reason why Raymond would have to keep it a secret from him. Unless you have a very noble reason. Vladek is his father. Eric shook his head. He couldn't think about it. He looked a

Hate you

His first impulse was to burst open the door and stab anything within an arm's length, but he'd made enough mistakes for a lifetime. This time, he was determined to do it right. “Hold the gun firmly, Eric. It's strong," said Raymond. He smiled and lifted Eric's arms parallel to the ground. “I can do it!” Eric lamented. He tried to shake Raymond's hand. “I'm trying to teach you, Eric. Listen." “He kept talking and talking. I just want to shoot.” “Patience,” Raymond said. “Stand with your feet wider and try to keep your breathing even.” Eric scowled. You are tired of talking. Pointing the gun at the tin can in the distance, he pulled the trigger. The force of the gun caused his elbow to bend and the gun hit his forehead, sending him to the ground. “Aaah! Dammit!" Eric rolled on the ground while holding his head. He thrashed his legs while trying to ease the pain. He could hear Raymond roaring with laughter. “I already told you! Stupid boy!" Raymond stomped while laughing. Eric

He lost consciousness

It's very warm outside, even on this cold night. Eric walked toward the guesthouse with great trepidation, but with it even greater determination.Part of him just wanted to go inside and kill Raymond in his sleep. That will end quickly. Eric wouldn't have to deal with Raymond's betrayal. He wouldn't have to face the man he thought was his father, brother, and friend, and question him as to what was real between them, what was trickery. He wouldn't have to see Raymond's eyes lose that glint of life.However, Eric knew he had gone too far to not know the full truth. He needed to know for sure. He needed to hear from Raymond's own mouth and see with his own eyes. A part of Eric yearned painfully that it was all a lie from Felipe.He was surprised to see Raymond swimming in the lake as he approached, gun raised. His heart pounded wildly in his chest and he felt a little dizzy.I can not.I can.I can.I can.Raymond emerged from the water and stroked his face. It took him a second to rea
