Queen of The Valley • Robby Keene

Chapter 42

{season 5 episode 2}

Sylvia and Robby waited at a random store for sensei to get back. "Guy at the impound lot said we need 4000 pesos. It's like a million dollars" Sensei scoffs. "It's 200$ but still we only have about half of that" Robby says. "Yeah well we're not gonna find Miguel without the van"

They looked over to see some people betting on other people eating peppers. "That's a red Savina that thing will burn a hole right through you. Mom and I watch hot ones on YouTube" Robby explains as they watched the guy give up and run away probably to throw up.

"This is our shot to get back on track. If you see me about to choke, cover my mouth so I don't spit it out." Sensei said. "Wait. I'll do it" Sylvia stops him. "What no let me do it" sensei argued. "Please I've been useless this whole trip I love spicy." Sylvia ties her hair up while speed walking over to the table.

Sylvia sat down and put some money on the table. "All right you got this" sensei said and rubbed her shoulders. "Yeah, no sweat. Easy peasy." Robby brushes through her hair.

After a whole jar of peppers Sylvia was sweating like in tears sweating. No sweat my ass. But if this keeps going on Sylvia definitely will not make it. "Give me the hottest pepper" Sylvia scowls before leaning back trying to focus on breathing. A guy put a delicate jar with 2 peppers inside it. As he grabbed it out with tongs Sylvia nudged the candy inside Robby's pocket.

Robby didn't seem to get it. She nudged it harder. Sylvia stuck her hand out underneath the table. She felt Robby drop the candy into her hand. The guy gave Sylvia a pepper. She put the candy and pepper in her hand and started doing the breathing exercises LaRusso showed them.

Sylvia quickly shoved the candy into her mouth and balled the pepper into her fist. The bald guy didn't do it, drank the milk and spat it. At us.

"Holy shi-"

"You sure you're all right?" Robby asked. "Never better" Sylvia grunted. "I still don't know how you managed to eat that last chili."

"I didn't" Sylvia smirked and pulled the chili out of her pocket. "What where you chewing on then?" Sensei laughs. Robby pulled out that cow candy.

Carmen called and gave them the name where Miguel is going. After another 20 minutes of driving Sylvia was starving. "Is there anything, anything at all to eat" she asked. "Didnt you eat the burrito I bought?" Sensei asked. "No. You threw it the the tow truck" she hissed. "Oh yeah" sensei chuckled.

They snuck into the arena / bar place where Miguel supposedly was."look at this MMA grab-ass bullshit" sensei mumbled to them. "Hector the Salazar, you know him?" Sensei asked a guy but didn't respond.

Then he walked up to a bald man punching the air. Didn't respond either. They walked through this red lit tunnel and stopped to look around. "Miguel! he's right there" Sylvia yells over the noise and pointed to him. They started walking towards the rink and then this dude stopped them.

Sensei started picking a fight with him, and punched him. Then the guy punches sensei and body slams him to the floor. He pushed us away so he could fight the dude himself. After punches and kicks they where both on the floor and sensei was in a choke hold. Sylvia quickly threw the pepper to sensei hoping he would know what to do.

Sensei squeezed the juice into his eyes and kicked him to the floor. Sensei asked where hector is and he had some trouble giving in but finally did.

"Ok hurry up turn left here" Sylvia said and pointed to the road. She was directing sensei to the place that guy told them to go. "Uhm, keep going straight" she mumbled and sunk back into my seat. Sylvia turned and see Johnny leave the car. "Miguel!" He yelled.

Sylvia also got out the car. Robby following. They see Miguel and sensei hugging.

After they hugged Sylvia was standing in front of the car holding her head, rubbing her eyes because of a headache of being in Mexico with two idiots. Miguel walked up to her and brought her away from Robby and hugged her. "Hey. Are you ok?" Sylvia asks. She pulls away and cup his cheeks. "Yeah I'm ok" he said. "Don't do that again you're crazy" Sylvia hugged him again.

She felt Robby's glare from behind them. "Alright let's go home" sensei said getting in the car. We got into the car Miguel in the back with me.

An hour passed, her head still pounding. "Are you poisoned?" Miguel asks. "No I didn't eat anything well maybe peppers" Sylvia replied. "here just go to sleep" Miguel said and hugged her onto an arm. "Thanks" she mumbled and closed her eyes. Sylvia can sense Robby staring at us. Again.

When Sylvia woke up again the sun was shining onto her face. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Sylvia took a look at Miguel who is also sleeping. Then looked out the window and saw sunshine bright L.A.
