DECLINING ANOTHER CALL from Robby, with a heavy heart, Silas walks down the stairs of Hector's home. He felt so incredibly guilty for not answering Robby, but he just didn't have the strength to hear his voice because if he did, he'd probably break down and the last thing he wanted to do was feel utterly weak. At least more than he already was...

The dinner went really well and the family even offered them a place to say. The two boys obviously didn't fight it, they weren't wasting any money and Miguel could have a chance to dig just a bit.

It's now morning and Silas is making his way into the kitchen, he slows down as he hears the words that escape Hector's lips as he spoke to Miguel. "Luis is not mine. He's from her previous marriage. Never had any kids of my own."

Silas didn't have to see Miguel's face to know that he was in shock. The boy gives  a small little scoff as Hector speaks again. The Kreese boy shakes the man's hand in greeting as he joins Miguel's side. The two listen intently to Hector. "I was almost a family man once. Yeah. Even got married."

"That's something..." Silas comments, but trails off when Miguel gives him a sharp look.

Hector seemed to be in deep thought as he continued, ignoring Silas's words. "We started talking about having kids. But she left."

"That's..." Miguel tries to find the words to say. "That's too bad."

"Hmm." Hector hums, turning his eyes to the white counter, still in deep thought. He then smiles and like that, he attempts to change the subject. "Hey! I got a great idea."

"Let us hear it." Silas says, stealing a grape from the small bowl in front of Miguel. The Diaz boy unsuccessfully swatting his hand away to try to stop him from taking one.

"I'm going to El Hoyo Verde later." Hector looks between them. "You two have to come out with me, you guys will love it."

"Uh..." Miguel stammers, glancing at Silas, who was just as speechless as him. They didn't have exactly anything else to do, but this could make or break everything.

Hector places his hand on Miguel's shoulder, catching their attention again. "Please, come on. You can't leave Mexico without a few stories, right? Please, you're going to enjoy it. I owe you both. Let me show you a good time."

"If it's not worth it, I'm owed a churro—."

"Silas—."

Hector laughs as he nods. He enjoyed the boys comments and statements. "Deal."

"You're too much, you know that?"

"Yeah, well, you're stuck with me, so deal with it, Miggy."

"You really have to stop calling me that."

"This place is insane." Silas says as his eyes roam over the inside of El Hoyo Verde. It was a boxing arena. Silas has been to many before with Daniel, but nothing could beat the way he felt in this moment.

The vibes were epic, everyone was on their feet, enjoying themselves. Multicolored lights danced around the arena and this was definitely one of the best thing he's ever laid his eyes on. Besides Robby, of course. But this was such a close second and he wished he could stay in this moment forever.
