-police siren-

-gunshots-

Anastasia : Oh what the fuck?!

Anastasia
I'm parked to the side and now Eduardo is parked in front of me. The police got here but so did the Juarez Cartel.

Damn you Eduardo! Complicating things. It's police against cartel again! Eduardo didn't get out of his car though and I didn't either. We both know they are here for me. Kinda.

I was watching everything. The police managed to get the guy who was following me before the cartel could

Eduardo : -facepalm- These fucking idiots!

Police : Guns down!! All of you!!

Eduardo
I grabbed my phone and communicated with them through their ear piece.

Eduardo : Just get the fuck out of here while you still can!! I'll take care of it!
Richard : Si jefe! LET'S GO!!!

Anastasia
They started shooting and started driving away. One of the police cars started following them but they threw a grenade destroying the car...

I got out of the car in panic and I'm furry!

Eduardo : Gabriela wait!

Eduardo
What the fuck is she doing?!
I got out of the car to follow behind her.

Anastasia : ...
Eduardo : Are you okay?
Anastasia : They just killed them!!

Eduardo
I didn't know what to do so I judt hugged her and stroke her hair.

Anastasia
They just killed three of my colleagues. I saw Eduardo talk while he was still in the car. I don't know if he gave them the order to throw the grenade or.....

Police officer : Ma'am I need you to come down to the police station to state what happened. You too sir.
Anastasia : Okay..

Anastasia
We all got into our cars and headed to the police station.

Police : Here's our report and what happened.
Jose : Chris, take care of it.
Chris : Okay
Jose : I need to interrogate the both of you separately. I'll start with you Gabriela.
Anastasia : Okay

Anastasia
I followed Jose into the interrogation room. Eduardo stayed outside.

Jose : Why the fuck was Eduardo and the Juarez Cartel there?!
Anastasia : He asked me where I was so I told him!! Now tell me what the fuck was I supposed to do?! You want him to trust me no?! Lying to him won't get me there!!
Jose : He killed three of our colleagues!! Don't you see that?!
Anastasia : He didn't even take out his gun!!
Jose : But he gave the order!!!
Anastasia : You don't know that!!!
Jose : Why are you defending him?!
Anastasia : Because he's not the monster you want me to see!!
Jose : Seriously Anastasia?!! He's a fucking drug lord!! A CRIMINAL!! Name something worse!!!
Anastasia : You don't get it....
Jose : What I don't get is what you saw in him. You fell in love with him didn't you?
Anastasia : ...
Jose : I see......I'm taking you off the case.
Anastasia : What?! No! That's my case!! I've been on that for years now!
Jose : What's your goal then?
Anastasia : To bring down The Phantom and the Juarez Cartel.
Jose : That involves Eduardo Navarro.
Anastasia : I know...
Jose : It's not that I don't think you can bring him down because I know you can. The problem is that you caught feelings and those feelings aren't helping you.
Anastasia : ...
Jose : I'm sorry Ana but I'm taking you out of this case. That means I need you to end things with him..
Anastasia : Jose please don't take me out of it! That means I have to leave him and I don't want to..
Jose : I'm doing my job. If you choose him we're going to be after you as well for being involved with him.
Anastasia : But I'm not involved with the Cartel!
Jose : You being with him automatically involves you.
Anastasia : Jose..
Jose : I'm sorry Ana.
Anastasia : I'll.......I'll help you. I'll bring him down. For real..
Jose : I don't know if I trust you with this anymore.
Anastasia : Then? What?
Jose : Choose..
Anastasia : What?
Jose : You have until tonight. Either you choose to be with him or you choose us. If you choose him, we'll be after you. If you choose us, you cut all ties with him. What do you say?
Anastasia : ....
