Marisols POV

I saw Coco storming out of the club. Letty headed out as Chucky needed help. He came and sit next to me.

"Hey whats wrong?" I touched his arm. He shook his head.

"Bishop said we aint gonna get vengeance. How fucked up is that?" My eyes fell. No, we have to get vengeance. They tried to wipe us out.

"What? Why?" I sat up.

"Money." I bit my lip as I look at the club. I shook my head. So cocos eyes, my leg, and Rizs life is less important than money? My vote was shit then?

"Fucking shit." I swore.

"This ain't fair. Money aint gonna bring Riz back, it aint gonna fix my eyes, and it wont fix your leg." He slams his hands on the table. "This is fucked up."

"I know it is." I wrapped my arm around his. "Things will change, hopefully Bishop will change his mind. If he cares about this club, he would never have said that."

"All of this, I wont be able to ride. Shooting? Forget about it." Coco shook his head. "This is part of me, and now, now we gotta sit with enemy." He fakes a laugh.

"Hey, dont say that. Theres a chance you'll get your vision back, it'll just take some time. I got you mi amor. One way or another, we will get revenge."

"You probably think i look fucking ugly, since i got this patch on." I rolled my eyes.

"Is that what you think? Johnny, mi amor, I fell in love with you because the way you made me feel. Dont you ever think that. You, Johnny, i wont change a thing about you. Okay?" I placed a kiss on his neck. "I love the way you are, vision or not. You're still my Johnny Cruz."

"I would be so lost without you." I gave him a smile. He then gave me one. "I fucking love you." He started to play with something in his kutte pocket, fidgeting.

"I know." I saw Angel and Letty coming out of the clubhouse and walking towards us.

"Lets go. Its almost 7." Angel told me. Time to meet dad. I slowly got up.

"Take care, ill see you soon." I kissed him. He grabbed my face and kissed me longer. "Text me if anything okay?"

"I love you." He told me.

"I love you too." I touched his cheek as I left. Angel figured out to put the crutches on the bike, helped me on the bike and we left. We walked in the back door and Ez was already there, drinking.

"Hey." I said, hopping in. I sat down.

"How'd the vote go?" Ez asked. Angel sighed and sat next to me.

"We're standing down."

"That's probably the right thing to do."

"Tell that to Coco. Hes fucking pissed." I said as I grabbed the bottle of Miller that Angel passed me.

"What did Alvarez want?" Angel sighed as he asked Ez.

"Miguel knows something's going on with Emily."

"This shit?" I pointed out.

"Yeah, I guess. I played dumb."

"Alvarez believe you?" Angel asked again.

"No." Ez shook his head. If Padrino finds out you lied big brother, we in deep shit.

"Where's Pop? He said 7:00." Angel said as he look at the time on his phone.

"I don't know. He was gone when I got here." Our phones went off. It was Potter again. Im gonna rip my hair if he texts me one more time.

"Fuck this guy." Angel threw his phone to the side.

"I want to kill him." I told them as I deleted the message. We chilled in house for a long time. Dad had his lockbox out on the kitchen table. "I was telling dad about how me being being paralyzed is karma."

"What?"

"For killing KJ. For not feeling guilty for what i did. Eye for an eye." I looked at the ring Coco gave me. "Things happen for a reason."

"This is an accident." Ez said as he looked at me.

"But think about it." I looked at them. "I lost my kid, i lost my leg, karma." They all sat there.

"She's right." Angel nodded. "Things do happen for a reason." The back opened and we saw Emily and my dad come in.

"She doesn't have much time." Everyone stood up. I was still sitting.

"Em." Angel hugged her.

"You want anything?" Ez asked.

"Um, one of those." She pointed at the beer.

"Me too." Dad joined. Emily came to me for a hug but then she saw my leg.

"Oh-"

"Hey Em." I waved at her. I was about to get up but Emily set me down.

"Please sit down, dont worry." She hugged me. We all sat down and got ready.

"Okay, so the money orders, right? The ones from Mexico, they matched entries I found in a household ledger."

"Same dates, same amounts to the penny."

"Dita Galindo."

"It's Miguel's mom."

"Jose must have used her accounts to avoid DOJ scrutiny."

"Why would Galindo want you and Mom dead?" We all looked at my dad. I mean he did make us come here for a reason.

"What happened? Dad?" I softly said.

"I had an affair with Dita Galindo." My eyes widen. "It was after she lost her son. Jose had checked out. Dita was undone, and I was there. With her all the time.Her protection, her confidant. It was a mistake but I let it happen." I could wrap my thoughts around on the idea that my dad, mine, had a thing with Miguel's mom. Miguel, the cartel boss.

"Holy shit." Angel said a loud. We were all stunned.

"I ended it before I met your mother, but Dita couldn't let it go." At least he didnt cheat on mom. "And when Isabel got pregnant with you, I didn't trust Dita. I couldn't risk Jose finding out, so we had to leave. We became Felipe and Marisol Reyes."

"Wait a minute." Angel stopped him. "Mom was killed over 20 years later. Why would Jose wait that long?"

"Because he didn't know you were here. Until Miguel moved here. Ten years ago." Ez said as he looked at Emily.

"Miguel had nothing to do with it." She disagreed.

"How how could he even know? To take over the business. I mean, the old man would have told him all his dirty secrets."

"No, Miguel wouldn't be involved in a murder." Ez scoffs. Hes owns a cartel, hes a murder. "Okay, not then. Not on this side of the border."

"Then how did anyone know they were here?" I said as i shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm sorry. I don't know." My dad apologized.

"So what does this mean?" Nobody said a word. I mean it cant be Miguel, im sorry. Im with Emily on this one. Why would be have beef with my parents? "Well, what happens now? EZ. What are you gonna do? Oh, my God." Emily got up and left. Few seconds later, Ez went after her. My dad went outside to take a deep breath. I stayed with Angel.

"We're not going to kill Miguel, right?" I asked him as I leaned against the countertop.

"I have no clue hermanita." My phone buzzed. I swear to god if its Potter. I pulled it out and and saw Cocos name.

Coco💙- Riz is gone. Lungs gave up 20 minutes ago. Bishop voided the vote. We're going for vengeance.

I covered my mouth. A tear slipped as I read the words Riz is gone.

"Shit." I said. Angel turned and looked at me.

"What?"

"Coco just texted. Riz died 20 minutes ago." Angel ran to me and saw the text.

"Fuck."

"The vote got voided. You guys are going to war with the Vatos." I shook my head. This cant be happening. Riz, hes gone. My best friend. I cant. I let out a sob. Angel pulled me in for a hug. Whos gonna be the one to call me out? Dance with me? Have some stupid jokes? Ez runs in the house starts looking through the lockbox. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Looking for photos."

"Of what?"

"Of Galindo's mom." My eyes narrowed. Why?

"In the journal." My dad said to Ez. He looks up and takes a look at the journal. I took a look as I saw the women.

Flashback: We all thought it was a good idea to go to the Día de Muertos feista in town. Angel took his girlfriend, Ez took Em, and we'll, I decided to ask Chris. We spent our night playing the games and trying to shoot Angel and Ez with the waterguns they gave us. Chris and I sat at the bench, in the middle of the park.

"What?" I asked as Chris gave me a funny look.

"You look beautiful." I blushed. We both touched hands and kissed. I felt hands separating our heads. I looked to see, it was my dad.

"No kissing." He said as he walked away. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"Hey theres Angel and Ez!" Chris pointed out. I got my water gun ready. I snuck behind Angel.

"Got ya!" I yelled.

"You little weasel!" Angel grabbed me just before I made a run for it. He picked me up and spin me in circles.

"Haha!" Ez smiled as he shot Angel with the water gun. Angel lets me go and Ez and I started to shoot him with water.

"No fair, no teaming up!" We ran away. We stopped to see my dad and mom kissing. Angel patted my head and left. I smiled and saw a women, looking at my parents, as if she was hurt

"Marisol! Look!" Chris pulls me away from the scene.

Flashback over: That woman, it was Dita.

"Hey. Hey!" Angel snaps Ez out of it.

"It wasn't Miguel who knew Mom and Dad were here." I said. "Why would Jose tell Miguel about the affair? Why would Miguel get mad at dad, he would get mad at his mom right? It was Dita."

"Why the fuck would she tell her old man about the affair?"

"She didn't." Ez caught on. He looked at dad. "You said she couldn't let it go. That she was devastated 20 years later. Dita ordered the hit. That's why she used someone on this side. The money orders, the household accounts, no follow-ups. If Miguel or Jose hired the gunman, then none of us would be here. It was her, Pop." My dad looked at us. He took off his glasses and took a step back. I cant believe it. I saw how much pain dad is in. It broke my heart.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry." He whispered. Ez went to hug my dad. Angel and I stood there, shocked. "Oh, God."
