"Marisol we need to-"

"I fucking told you!" I hit Angel as I ran up to him. I hit him straight in the jaw. Angel groaned in pain. "I fucking said that either of you ever hurts the other i will swing! Was i talking to myself when I said it?"

"He fucking told me about-"

"And was that a good excuse to beat him to death, in the middle of nowhere? No! I swear Angel! You both are like children! I always have to protect the other one from the other before it gets ugly. If you or Ezekiel do this again,you both are on your own, im not kidding. Im gone. Im done."

"Bullshit. You'll never leave us. You love us too much." I turned my back to him "He told me about DEA!" I stepped back. "Thats right. I know that you been in it with him too. You!"

"Get up." Angel groaned and stood up.

"'Its so nice to have Ezekiel back.'" He mocked me. "'We can be a family together again.'" I started to cry. "You lied to me!"

"I was asked and I did it." He laughed.

"Always for the favorite brother right?" I stood there. "Where's me Marisol?"

"Ezekiel isn't my favorite brother." I yelled at me as I stood in front of him. "I can't believe you think that! I love you both, more than anyone." Angel stood the in shock. "So don't you dare pull that trick on me!" I wiped my tears off. "If you didn't know, I told KJ a long time ago I wanted out, and I did. But fucking Potter showed up. He said that shits gonna happens to you both if I said no. I had to say yes, okay?" Angel realized what he had done. He saw what a sobbing mess I was. "Im trying okay? I don't know what to do. I need guidance."

"Marisol." He whispers.

"No!" I pointed a finger at him. "Just, no." I said softly. I walked back to my car, Angel following me and Coco grabbed me.

"Hey! Hey!" He said as I tried to let him make me go.

"Please." I cried on his shoulder as i gave up. He shushed me silently, making me calm. He took to the trailer. "Its just family issues." I told Coco. I was cooling down.

"You dont have to tell me." He held my hands. "Amor, its okay."

"Im sorry. Im a mess." I sighed. I pulled my hair up. I massaged my head as I was getting a headache from so much crying.

"Dont worry." I looked at him. I knew the deal with Potter is either gonna make it or break for me. I couldn't tell him. Im in this now. I put my hand on his cheek. I would take a bullet for this man. I love him too much.

"I fucking love you, okay?" He grabbed my hand and kissed it.

"Okay." He kissed my cheek. "I love you no matter what happens." We spent hours in the trailer as I was cooling down. The bang our door scared us both.

"We going on a run to the casino." It was Tranq. We both got up and walked out. I was getting into my car, Angel, and Ezekiel and I looked at each with hate.

"Marisol, why won't you come with us?" Bishop said as he got on his bike.

"I don't think its a good idea." Angel replied.

"Marisol, not Angel." Bishop looked at him.

"I don't know, I gotta-"

"I would like Marisol to come. She is part of the MC." Padrino said. Angel looked down on me. I couldn't say no to him. I grabbed my helmet from Coco and we drove off. It was a Long drive. I can't believe the men do this in a daily basis. I held tight to Coco's chest. We made it to the casino. I sat there, Why did i come.

"Hey?" Coco put his hand on my shoulder. "You're scaring me baby."

"Its just the fight." He reached for my hand and I took it. All walked in. The noises were loud, tons of people. We made to a room and Padrino took me.

"This is Marisol." He introduced me to Galindo. Up in person with Miguel Galindo. Shit. We shook hands.

"Marisol Reyes." He gave me a confused looked. "Angel and Ezekiel are my brothers." I pointed them out. He nodded.

"Miguel Galindo. Im sorry, but how can we trust you?" I looked at Padrino. He smiled at me.

"She puts us in place. She helps us with everything. She hasn't said anything about our deals. Marisol here, we trust her. I trust her." He put his hand on my shoulder. "You should too."

"You're welcome to stay Marisol. I think we'll become great friends." I looked at a blonde woman sitting. It was Emily. Holy shit. She smiled at me. Her warming smile. My best friend, Emily Thomas. I miss her.

FLASHBACK: you can hear giggling from my room, all the way downstairs. Emily and I were just giggling about boys.

"Trust me, when you fall in love, you won't be able to get him out of your mind." Em smiled at me. "Ez is always on my mind, no matter what. I love him."

"Ew!" I was disgusted.

"You wont be saying ew when you're kissing your boyfriend." She hugged me. "I love you Marisol."

"You're my best friend Em, dont ever leave me."

Flashback over:
"After 8 years, this is how you say hello, Thomas?" I gave her a smile.

"You've grown so much." She hugged me. I walked back and stood next to Coco and Riz.

"Por favor. Devante. en frente de mí." Galindo said to an older man. He was shocked of what he said. "Mr. Alvarez, please." Padrino sat next to him, taking Devantes seat.

"Thank you."

"Prospect, bikes." Bishop said to Ez. I saw him about to leave.

"I'm okay if Ezekiel stays. It might be useful to have someone remember the details of what we say." Galindo chuckled. Ezekiel closed the door and joined. "As you know, two nights ago, the U.S. attorney's office and other U.S. and Mexican agencies invaded my home, citing some vague Homeland Security law. They took my wife, my child, and myself into custody, and for the next 24 hours, they intimidated and threatened my family then coerced me into the same type of deal they made my father sign nearly ten years ago."

"Miguel." Davente was silence by Galindo.

"What you don't know, but more importantly what the U.S. and Mexican authorities don't know, is that the night prior to that, while detained at the Calexico border station, someone else offered me a deal. This is Luisa.
You know her Adelita." The door opened and revealing the women who my brother Angel was secretly in love with.

"What the fuck is this?" Bishop cursed.

"No, please, gentlemen. I'll explain everything." Luisa sat down next to Galindo. I looked at Angel, who was already looking at me, and then at Ezekiel. "Los Olvidados wants only one thing. To heal its people. There's only way to cut through the layers of greed, bureaucracy, and ignorance that have kept us broken for decades. We need the edge of the most dangerous blade."

"My organization is no longer at odds with Los Olvidados. The power of our new partnership will not only allow us to outthink, outmaneuver, and exploit our invasive governmental agencies. It also provides a network that increases production, distribution, and profits." Miguel turns to Padrino and Bishop. And for the Mayans Motorcycle Club It takes you from the loading dock to the board room. You become our trustee to keep all parties honest." Emily stands up and passes out paper. "Now, my wife has put together some broad strokes as to what this all might look like." I looked over Cocos shoulder as I looked through the paper. Not bad i gotta say. The meeting was over within a few minutes after.

"Hi, I'm Michael Ariza." Riz introduces himself to Luisa.

"Hi." She smiled. Angel, Coco, Gilly and I went up to her.

"I'm Angel." I could tell her loved her. I can see it in his eyes. It wasn't even hard to spot.

"Luisa." She smiled back.

"Coco, Gilly." The boys said at the same time.

"Hi."

"Marisol, its nice to meet you." I stuck out my hand.

"Nice to meet you." She shook my hand with smile. I liked her. I walked out of the room with Coco. It was nice just walking, holding hands.

"Marisol." Angel said, making both of us turn. "Can I talk to you? Please?" I sighed and walked with Angel. We went to the bar and he paid for drinks. "I want to apologize. You were going through some shit and i turned my back. Its bullshit, im sorry." I took my shot. "With the whole Ezekiel, DEA, Its gonna work okay?"

"Im sorry I punched you." I looked at him. "I thought he needed my help, but he didn't in the first place." I put my finger and traced the rim of the cup. "I love you both equally. I did it for family. I just thought I was doing the right thing. If I learned one thing from mom, it would be to never to let down family. Im trying here." Angel places his hand on my hand.

"You're my baby sister, and I love you. I could never give up on you."

"So Ezekiel's lie is now our lie. Our secret."

"We'll do whatever this thing for Potter is, put it behind us, then Ezekiel's free to go."

"Nothing makes sense anymore, Angel." I stared at the glass. "I just want this to go away." Angel kissed my head.

"Maybe, you can move in with me." I nodded my head.

"God, i left dad alone without telling him where I went." I rubbed my eyes.

"Dont worry, I got Frankie picking you up in 5."We left the booth and we saw Coco and Gilly.

"Everything okay?" Coco asked.

"Everything's okay." Angel gently pushed me.

"Angel said Frankie is gonna pick you up, do you want to stay?" I put my hand on his cheek.

"I have some unfinished business with my dad. I would if I could." I kissed him. "Do what you boys do." I chuckled. Frankie arrived. I saw Ezekiel. I said goodbye to everyone and I went Ezekiel.

"I took it." I gave him a hug. He pulled me back.

"Why?"

"You're my brother. Necesito proteger la sangre." I hugged him again and I left with Frankie.

"Take care of her." Coco said. "Call me when you get home."

"Always mi amor." I smiled as he kissed my hand. We drove home. Frankie and I started to catch up. Jokes, wise lectures, singing were spoken. I got home before it started. "Thanks Frankie."

"No problem Marisol." I texted Coco and i looked up to see my dad on the porch. I sighed and I remembered a memory.

Flashback: Angel and my dad got into fight about leaving me alone for two days. Angel left in a hurry since the MC needed him. It was night, the stars were shining. I walked to the front and saw my dad drinking. I sat there with him.

"Im sorry i left you and your brothers. I promise to be a better dad." He said, holding some tears.

"Its okay."

"Im glad you're here with me marisol."

"me too daddy."

I sat next to him and I grabbed a beer from him.

"I had no right to yell at you." I told him.

"I had no right to lie to you." I held his hand. "I love you Marisol, con todo mi alma.

"I love you too papi." I hugged him. We spent am hour outside, in silence looking at the stars.

"I think its best for you to live with Angel for a while."

"Okay." I whispered. We went inside and my dad went to bed I walked to my room and my phone buzzed. It was Potter.

"Los hermanos Reyes. I assume you all listening." I just wanted this to end.

"Yeah." I said.

"I just sent each of you a text message with the details of your task. Needs to be finished by the end of the day tomorrow." I opened to see KJ's photo with the words saying bye bye.

"What? What the fuck is this?" Angel said from the other line.

"I told you I wouldn't ask you to do anything you hadn't done before. Killing a member of law enforcement, that should come easy EZ." I hung up and i sat on my bed. I threw my phone at the wall.

"Damn."
