"Babe are we doing dinner tonight?" Asked Aurora.

"No, I actually have to leave tonight for business in Panama for the next few days." I replied. As much as I don't want to go back there, I am planning to open a resort in the newer part of the city.

"I just wish I could come with you." She said pouting. I kissed her.

"I promise I'll call you as soon as I land." I assured her. She nodded.

IN PANAMA...

"See? Did I tell you I was going to call?" I said to Aurora over the phone.

"Yeah yeah, just be careful. I love you." She said. I stayed quiet over the phone for a moment.

"I will. I gotta go." I said before hanging up.

Axle caught up to me. "Capo, how come you always hesitate saying it back to her?" He asked. I groaned.

"What are you talking about?" I questioned, pretending I didn't know what he was talking about.

"You wouldn't have asked her to marry you if you didn't love her.. unless—" said Axle.

"—Don't even say it. I know what I'm doing Axle. Besides, she never wrote back, no phone call, NOTHING. It's clear she doesn't want anything to do with me." I said cutting off Axle and ranting.

"Whaaaaaat I meant to say was, that you are probably trying to feel her out some more before taking that final step?" Said Axle raising an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes.

"We're not here to chit-chat about my fucking personal life Axle. We came here strictly for business." I said sternly. He chuckled.

"Alright alright. Whatever you say Mateo." Said Axle moving forward. I shook my head.

"Mateo, I confirmed that the weapon shipment has arrived at the dock in Bahía Las Minas." Reported Ivan. I nodded.

"That's good news. I'll go check it out in the next hour or so." I replied.

"Okay I'll let them know back at the docks that you'll be there in a bit." Said Ivan.

I decided to take a shower before heading out. It has been a long day anyhow. As I showered Aurora's face flashed in my head. I smiled. But I also started to picture Mia's face. The bruises and wounds she endured during the previous kidnapping. I slammed my fist against the shower wall and wiped the water from my face.

"If she really cared for me, she would try to reach out." I said as I shook my thoughts of her away. I'm moving forward to the future, and my is going to have Aurora in it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm making a huge mistake. I got out the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist, heading towards my room.

I got dressed and went downstairs to meet the other men. "Ready?" Asked Axle. I nodded. We made our way to the docks where the shipments were. I walked into the warehouse where a bunch of men were unloading the trucks.

"This was all that we could have gotten." Said Ivan. I looked around, feeling very pleased.

"This is more than enough." I added.

We were distracted by gun shots outside of the building. I grabbed my gun and my instincts kicked in. I ran outside, followed by my men and began shooting as the enemies shot back. I looked closely and seen that they were fully masked in ski masks. Jumping behind a vehicle, I hid. Axle followed closely behind.

"Why the fuck does this keep happening? I can never catch a break!" I whispered to Axle.

It got quiet and I looked over. Everyone disappeared. We carefully got out of hiding. Axle looked around and scratched his head. I was just as confused as he was. Ivan came running out of the warehouse out of breath.

"It's—GONE!" He yelled. We ran into the warehouse. Most of the shipments went missing.

"How the FUCK does this even happen?" I yelled. Suddenly some of work men came out dragging a straggler. It was one of the masked enemy. I abruptly walked over to the enemy and pulled off the ski mask.

"SPEAK." I said sternly. The man smirked. I punched him across the face. "I SAID, SPEAK!" I demanded.

"I'll tell you nothing." He replied. I was furious. I took out the gun and put his to his skull.

"Whoa!—" Said Ivan.

"Ayo Capo—" called out Axle.

"If you don't fucking tell me in the next 10 seconds who the FUCK do you work for, so help me God; I won't hesitate to blow your fucking brain into a million pieces." I aggressively demanded. The enemy gulped.

"Dios." He said.

"Dee-os?" Asked Axle.

"Dios; it means God in Spanish." I said deep in thought. What kind of person works for a stupid fuck that calls himself a God? That shit really baffles me. "Alright, so where does this God stay at?" I asked. The enemy stayed quiet and my jaw tightens.

"Take him to the lock up. Torture him until he sings." I said.
