If they're out to kill you and you want to make it out alive shut up and do as I say got it he then grabbed my sister

Follow me he then shot and we ran

We made it we finally lost them he then put cuffs on us we then looked at him

You're arrested

What the hell is wrong with you didn't you understand anything we said my moms dead are you seriously going to arrest me I said

Yes we'll like into your mothers death but for now you're arrested you're being charged with smuggling illegal immigrants over the border

Instead of arresting unarmed girls you should go after thoses criminals who tried to kill us but you and your bullshit laws that's why we always find a way across Vicenta said

You have the right to remain silent he said

Silence is for the dead... you don't get it do you in less then 24 hours we have lost everything ..thoses two dead women In Juarez they were also part of our family don't you realize drug lords ruined our lives yet your arresting us you got it all wrong gringo you keep trying to catch  flies ..while all the wasps get away I said I then held my sisters hands

Are the cuffs really necessary  chenta said

Yes that's my job I need to follow the rules he said

Then tell your people to collect my mother well her body I don't want the wolves to finder her first please

Hey guys come on hey Conrad down there is a truck there's a dead women call in an ambulance and take her corpse to the morgue he said

Thank you I thought you didn't have a heart I said

Let's go he then grabbed her and I moved her out of his grip

Don't ever touch my sister or I'll slit your throat I said I then held vicentas hand he then took us to the car I then played with my sisters fingers as i hummed we then made it and we got out and went inside  he then took our bags they then took our fingerprints on a tablet but I kept moving and I started fighting but they eventually put my fingerprints we then saw a wanted sign and saw it was us they then checked us for weapons we then got sent to a room I grabbed my sisters hand

Give me a minute he said

Your hands he took off the hand cuffs

Don't you think guys go a bit overboard with the whole pat down process  I say

You think ...what's your name who do you work for

We work for whoever needs us we work for people who want a better future for themselves and a life in the United States where they can work there butts off picking tomatoes and washing dishes I work for poor people who don't want to die poor I work for people like Aida whom you've detained she just wanted to give her kid a better life I said I then looked at his badge Phillips Daniel special agent

Daniel Philips you're American chenta said

That's right my father was an American but my mother was Mexican

I then laughed

Well shit didn't your mother teach you to respect your own kind Vicenta said

Weren't you taaught to answer questions when you were asked I asked for your names

Get this gringo who do you think has a better job us or you I said

Okay one more time for the last time I'm going to ask you nicely what's your name

You realize that your country benefits off of cheap Mexican labor or are you going to give us that bullshit that we're stealing your jobs do you really believe that white bastard running for president keeps saying about us do we look like a thief or a rapist to you if that bastard wins that election and puts up a wall what do you think we're going to dig under it or fly over it but we're going to keep crossing the border anyways they need us gringo I say

Hey hey hey I'm here you don't yell you're not in the desert he said a guy then tells him something

Who is Abelardo casares I've never heard that name

Hmm it's sounds familiar but I don't remember where I heard it this is the suv in which you escape in yes

Your men found it so you retrieved my mothers body and it's now in the morgue may we see her I asked

No when my people arrived the body was already gone someone else took it

What

He kept taking but I zoned out they took us to our cell and we saw Aida

I'm sure you won't mind sharing cells you already know each other well

What are you doing here vi we cut her off by hugging her

Don't say our names the cop doesn't know who we are

Hey what'd you say well it doesn't matter tomorrow im coming for you I have your more helpful and answer all my questions it's for your own good get some rest Daniel said

You were caught because of me right forgive me I was pressured to talk I had no choice

Hold on what do you mean your fault I asked

I gave the cop your aunts address in Juarez

No Aida Vicenta said

I didn't mean to betray you I was desperate to get out of here I'm pregnant

That's why he was at the house and followed us to the desert I said

Please forgive me

What's the point my aunt Cruz ,cousin paola,and my mother are all dead all my plans went to shit I don't have a reason to go on Vicenta said

Forgive me Aida said she then hugged us I held back my tears I then went to sleep in the top with Vicenta

Vincent Veronica wake up

What happened I said in a sleepy voice

The doors is open

I think the guard who brought the food forgot to lock it we then got down I then put on my boots and saw it was open

Let's get out of her

What if it's a setup

There's nothing worse than being a prisoner if it's a setup we'll find out on the way I then looked down and saw I still had on my dress on and I had some blood on it and dried blood on my face
