Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents...

Today me and my brother have to go back to work. I am not happy about it, but there's nothing I can do against it, as Eleandro is our guardian and boss.
Yesterday was the last day we had with Zina. It was also the first time she opened her mouth and said something. And the thing she said warmed all our hearts. She's never said she loved us before. Probably because she didn't trust nor knew us all that well.
Lucas and Diego are staying with her, so is Javi. Diego actually wasn't allowed at first, but Eleandro thought it would be a good idea because he could talk with Zina the best. And Lucas has school but we all thought school wasn't important enough to leave his sister for.
I fucking hate leaving her behind too, but I also know the mafia needs us especially after our absence from the past few days.
Me and Eleandro sit in our newest sage green- Zina's favorite color- BMW and we don't say a word. I can still feel the tension between us two, still present from the previous day. I know I should probably apologize since he only does what's needed, but I can't bring myself to it.
Our car with our personal driver stops at the base, and we both leave that tension behind us. We need to focus on work now.
As soon as we enter the base, Sergio- our consigliere- comes up to us looking furious.
"¿Dónde has estado? ¡Te necesitábamos en la base!" (Where have you been? We needed you in base!)
"No le hables así a tu jefe. Puedo hacerte cosas horribles fácilmente, no lo olvides". Eleandro warns him in a tone even I would be scared of. (Don't speak to you boss like that, I can easily do horrible things to you, don't forget that. )
"Mis disculpas señor. But there has happened a lot while you were gone." Sergio says nervously. (My apologies sir)
"Fill me in." Eleandro commands while just walking to his office, barely acknowledging the presence of Sergio.
"The Mexican Don and his men attacked one of our bases on the east side. We lost a lot of our men jefe." Sergio explains his hysteria. (Boss)
"Okay leave us alone Sergio I will look through it." Eleandro answers sending Sergio away.
When he closes the door of his office behind me, he grips his hair in frustration.
"Fuck! Who does that bastard think he is?!" He outs his frustration on his desk, throwing almost everything off.
"Eleandro. Joaquin was on that base. Do you think that.." I remember and he looks at me with fear in his eyes.
Joaquin was a spy for our mafia a few years ago. All of us basically saw him as family. He was the most trusted person in our mafia. A few years ago he got tired of being a spy, so we offered him a job in our mafia as assassin. He gladly accepted and now works in our base on the east side.
