Ez pulled out a beer and handed it to me. We clinked bottles and took sips. The boys came out of the room. Angel headed outside. Ez and I exchanged looks and was about to go after him until Chucky came in.

"He asked me to be discreet, so I wrote it backwards and in cursive." Chucky handed Ez a piece of paper.

"Good work, Chucky." Ez smiles.

"I accept that." Chucky left. Ez handed the paper, 'something Happy'. Oh goody. Ez and I walked out of the clubhouse and went to Angel.

"Hey." Ez called out. "Dude." He grabbed Angels arm, making Angel turned back.

"Relax, I'm just pulling my bedroll." I handed him the paper. "The fuck is this?" He read it.

"Something happy." I told him. We walked to where we saw Happys prospect was pointing at Ez's trailer. We all went in, besides the prospect. We sat down in the crowded table.

"I was in Berdoo yesterday. Told Packer I had some bounty hunter up my ass, questioning an old job. Had him pull anything I booked through his charter, make copies." Happy pulls out a folder with papers.

"He keeps files on that shit?"

"Yeah, coded." I reviewed the codes. "Have to, a lot of pieces of the pie to be cut. Keeps us honest. This one has the info for your folks." Happy pointed at the code. "Five entries."

"What's this number mean, WU3459?" I asked.

"Western Union." Ez said.

"The last four digits ID the branch. Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico." The three of our heads went up.

"Sonora?" I whispered to myself.

"Galindo?"

"Back then, could have been Lobo Sonora too. There were more players." Happy added.

"Well, five payments, somebody's obviously trying to avoid having a big number flagged." Angel nodded.

"Most likely."

"This period of time, Galindo Sr. was already under the DOJ's thumb. If he wanted to get anything done behind their backs, he'd have to hide it." I scoffed.

"Bury it in household accounts." We all looked at each other. We jumped by the loud knock.

"Hey." It was Tranq. "Circle jerk's over. El Padrino's in trouble." We all came out one by one. I crossed my arms.

"Is he okay?" I asked Bishop.

"We dont know, i would hope so." He puffed out. 

"What happened?"

"We'll fill you in. Too early for guns."

"He just picked up the rest of my parole shit from Stockton." Ez lied.

"You know me, always a helper." Happy followed.

"I got two men on the DL. We could use a hand."

"Alvarez? Jax would want me to help." Happy nodded. "I'm in."

"Can't tell you much, other than where to point the gun." Taza smiled.

"I'm okay with that." Happy turns to the prospect. "You good with that?"

"Yes, sir."

"See you boys later then." I waved. Coco gave me a small wave and they all left. I decided to walk to work. It was a nice day to walk. The bar was sorta close to the clubhouse but i didnt mind. I walked in the bar and everyone smiled. I put my bag in the breakroom. I came out and washed my hands. "Long time no see Don." I said as I pulled out his original order.

"You're a busy girl Marisol." He chuckles. That old man steals my heart, he's my favorite customer. Chris comes in and starts helping me out with orders. It was pretty busy until 11 pm.

"Now we relax." Chris comes in with drinks in his hands. "For you."

"Thanks." I laughed. We clinked our glasses and took our shots. I winced from the burning sensation going down my throat. "Hows the kids?"

"Omar is good, hes now in the baseball team." He grabbed my glass and sets it in the sink. "And Andrea just learned how to ride a bike." He smiled as he talked about his twins. We started to close the bar.

"Im glad." I patted his back with a smile. "I miss this."

"Miss what?" He asked as he puts the beer away.

"The old us."

"Ah yes, the olden days." We laughed. "We were so bad. Sneak out at night just to go and eat some pan at 5 in the morning."

"Dont forget the time we snuck out to watch that scary movie on a school night." Ah those were the days. My high school days. I stored the cups into the cabinets.

"Go home Marisol. You got Coco waiting for you." I looked at phone and saw a text from Ez.

Angel💙: we got Alvarez, we're heading back to the clubhouse soon.

It was sent 20 minutes ago. I put my phone in my back pocket.

"You too. You got kids to say goodnight to." I said as i got my bag from the break room.

"Right behind ya." Chris closed the bar and headed our separate ways. I walked back to the clubhouse. The men are back. The bikes were scattered around the yard. I walked in and saw everyone in their old ladies arms, ez at the bar, angel in the corner and then my eyes landed on Coco. There he was, sitting at the bar. I walked up behind him.

"Hola amor." I whispered into his ear. He turned to me and kissed me. "How was the run?"

"Alvarez is fine. Hes with Bishop and Galindo getting stitched up. It was the fucking mercs that got to him." I sat down next to him, holding his hand.

"His okay now. You got them right?" He nodded. "You guys saved his life." He nodded slowly. "Im proud of you guys." He gave me a small smile. "Que teins amor?"

"I found out you paid for Lettys school. Why did you do that? I couldve done it. Ill pay you back."

"Shes family Johnny. I care for Letty like shes one of my own." I placed my hand on his cheek, making him look at me. "You dont need to pay me back."

"Are you sure?" I nodded. "Thank you amor."

"Anything for you." I giggled as we leaned in for a kiss. I heard a cough from the side of me. I opened my eyes and looked back. It was Happys prospect, Hallorran.

"Can we help you prospect?" Coco said as he stood up, getting tensed.

"Uh, Taza told me that she can show me where they put our guns at." Coco looked at me, and then glanced at him.

"She?" The prospect nearly choked. He was scared of Coco. I stood up and placed my hand on Cocos chest.

"Ill be back."

"Ill be waiting." I kissed his lips and walked with the prospect. We walked to the shed and showed him the guns. "Here you go." I pointed out that the guns. "Anything else?" I asked.

"Uh, no, im good, thanks." He gulped. He was red.

"Just close the door, Tranq gets made when someone leaves it open." I walked out of the shed. I saw Ez, Angel and Happy together. The prospect was behind me, putting their guns in the van.

"This cleans shit up between us." Happy said as I walked towards Ez.

"This is cleaned up when we find out who did it." Ez told him.

"Yeah." Happy nodded. He looked at the prospect and went to the van and left the club. The three of us stood there.

"We'll find out." I said as I placed my hand on Ez's shoulder.

"I know." Angel said. Ez claps his hands and turns to me and Angel.

"Gonna go check on Pop. Gonna come Mari?" He asked me.

"Nah, imma stay with Coco." I said as I pointed back at the clubhouse.

"I see now." He smirks.

"I'll come with." Angel volunteers.

"Why? Think I'm suicidal?" Ez said as we all chuckled.

"Fucking fucking love you, bro."

"Love you, Angel." They both hugged. I stood there, surprised. For the first time, they are hugging and not killing each other, what a rare sight.

"Wow." I said as they both pulled away. "you both said you love each other without beating each other up, nice. You guys surprise me." I crossed my arms.

"Shut up." Angel said as he gently pushed my head back.

"Big brother sandwich?" Ez recommended. My eyes popped. Oh no.

"Please dont." I begged them.

"She definitely wants the sandwich." Angel said as he looked at Ez. They both came in and started to hug me. Their hugs are literally deadly. They crush me with their muscles.

"Get off me!" I cried for help. They both laughed and smiled.

"You love it." Angel smiles as they pulled back.

"Maybe a little." I said as i rolled my eyes. "Drive safe."

"Will do." Ez went to his bike and drove away. Me and Angel were left.

"Meet you inside?" I told him as i was turning back.

"Uh yeah." He nodded. I touched his arm and went inside. I met up with Coco.

"Wanna go?" He asked as he was getting ready to leave.

"Sure." I hugged his arm as we left the clubhouse. Angel was still outside, smoking. We waved goodbye and drove to Cocos place. I silently walked in since Letty was sleeping already. Coco went to close her door. I started to heat up some leftovers we had the night before.

"Lets eat on the couch." Coco recommended. I put the pollo y arroz onto plates. Coco went to the kitchen and grabbed some sodas. We had our midnight snack, watching some lame movie. When we finished, i cuddled with him, my head on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around me. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." I sat up and looked at him.

"We've been dating for 2 years now, coming on 3 years soon." He looked at me, grabbing my hands as he spoke. "I like it when you are here, you make the house, well, better. I dont like it when you are hoping to house to house. So, what I'm trying to say is that, do you want to move in? Permanently?" I gave him a widen smile.

"Johnny, i would love to move in." I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I like it here."

"Good. This can be our home. One I promise you." I smirked at him. "Yeah?"

"Definitely." I gave him a quick kiss. "We're definitely getting a dog then."

"Definitely not." He said. I threw my head back from laughter.

"Cat?"

"Fuck no." We both laughed. "Te querio amor." I placed my hand on his cheek, staring into his eyes. Falling all over him again.

"Te querio mas."
