Alberto POV
I’m at home in my office talking on the phone with the Mexican gang they finally have chosen the armory they need from me. I needed to have everything draft, planned like were I would send it and who I would send and who in their side will pick up the shipment. It is a really hard dealing because this gang in specific have issues with trust and I don’t trust does who have trust issues. If someone has trust issues it’s either because that person has betrayed someone’s trust or because someone else has betrayed them. Either way I don’t want to find out so all I can do is be extra careful and try to at smart any possible betrayal or surprise they may come up with.
After a long talk we finally had an agreement, so I hang up the phone. I feel so stress out, since Adriana’s birthday we have distanced ourselves from each other that good I guess. Then again I can’t seem to be able to take her out of my mind and it’s driving me crazy. She is not wearing her usual shorts, now she only wears skinny jeans, but I can still se her body shape. I hate that I can’t stop taking glances at her when she is not looking, ‘I sound like a creep’ that’s just what she does to me, she makes me act like a creep. I stand from my desk and walk to the door the office phone rings but I’m too tired so I just ignore it and keep walking, ‘I need a shower’ after I’m in my room I go inside the shower I hear my phone ring but I’m in the shower they can wait.
After my shower I dry myself and put the towel around my hip before heading to my room. “Jesus!! You scared me, what do you want?” I ask Rafael who is standing inside my bedroom, I head to the drawers to pick up a boxer. “Jackson called, he is in the hospital, someone came from behind hitting him in the back of the head.” I turn quickly to see my brother’s face he has the same face expression he had years ago. “How is he?” “He is doing well, doctors are releasing in an hour.” Good that’s good new because it means that who ever did this wasn’t trying to kill him, so then why would they go to the trouble of hitting his head from behind. Something is missing and I think my brother just notice my facial expression. I raised an eyebrow at him, “what else is there?” He gulps nervously before answering, “Jackson had taken Adriana to the mall when this all happened….” Before he could keep talking I interrupted “what do you mean? Is she ok? Was she hurt?” I took hold of my brother’s shirt tightly “ANSWER ME!!! God dammit.”
I was worried my mind was running million miles a second my heart beats were getting faster with each second. Then he answered me, “I don’t know if she is hurt or not, I don’t even know where she is, someone took her, I…. I’m sorry brother.” As soon as I heard him say ‘someone took her’ I drop on my knees, she is missing, ‘I can’t loose her, I can’t have something happening to her’ all I could think was the time when father went to rescue Alondra, he came back with her body, what if it happens again? ‘This is all my fault I did this’ *Ring Ring* my phones rings and I answer “Alberto amigo, just so you know that we have the girl, but no worries no harm will come to her, as long as our shipment is delivered as scheduled. After that I well send for someone to take her to you.” It was him, I knew I couldn’t trust him. “Juan please I want her back safe just let her go.” “No can’t do, I know how love works and I know you will do anything for her so I will keep her til the end of the deal is done.” Love? Is he crazy? Before I could say anything else the phone call ended, he hang up on me.
Adriana POV
I woke up in a room I don’t recognize, it’s a nice little bedroom with a small bathroom attached to it, there is no window. Where am I? ‘Jackson? Oh god please let him be safe.’ I went to try and open the door but as it should be when someone has been kidnaped the door was locked from the outside. I then went and sit in the edge of the bed to wait till my captures come see me if they come. While waiting my mind drifted to my godparents ‘are they worried about me?’ Then I thought of Alberto ‘would I ever see him again?’ I don’t really like the guy but there is this thing that attracts me to him, something I can’t explain. I miss everyone even my best friends, which i don’t see often but still I miss them. I don’t know how long I waited till someone came in through the door, it was a young girl about my age, shorter than me, with chocolate brown eyes, dark brown hair and caramel skin. “Hello, where am I? Why am I here?” I asked her trying not to sound to desperate I needed to know why this people wanted me here but I didn’t want to be hurt for asking. She didn’t answer she left a plate with steam beans and rice and left. I of course I was hungry but nervous at the same time, I decided not to eat.
Alberto POV
I didn’t know if Adriana was fine or hurt I didn’t know what they were doing to her. It’s been two days we have everything ready for the deliver tonight. Even thought everyone was against me going I have to go I have to be the one to get her back. The guys loaded everything in the delivery trucks and we heading to the old railroad tracks were the Mexican gang will be waiting with Adriana. We actually are somewhere in Mexico we had to take a plane to get here. As soon as we got to the spot were we were to do the exchange I saw his men but not him Juan their leader was not here yet.
We waited for about fifteen minutes when finally he arrived, he pulled Adriana with him by her arm, she open her mouth about to say something but her eyes locked with mine and everything around us stopped. I always thought those were crazy things crazy people say but no, it was happening to me now. Her eyes made me feel like she was worried, was she worried about me? Or about her safety? I took a few steps towards her but Juan stopped me, “That’s enough” he said holding his hand up to me. I stopped walking but my eyes never left hers, I didn’t even turn to see Juan, all I care was that she was here and had no evident bruises.
