I heard soft cries coming from dris office. I head over there and I heard the cries. I opened the door a bit and saw Jadah crying." Hey what's wrong" I said stepping in. She looked at me and whipped her tears off." Its nothing"." No tell me what's wrong"." It's my son"." You have a son". I asked shocked." Yes I do. I had him when I was 14 years old. I-I got rapped". I gave her a hug" and where is he now"." He's in Pakistan. I had to put him in an orphanage because they won't let me have him here with me"." Why not you're his mother"." Yes but they won't because I'm not married and I'm a prostitute" she said looking down at the floor. Just then soraya came in." Hey what's wrong". Jadah told her what was wrong. She thought the same thing, that Jadah should have her son with her no matter what." We have to bring that kid here now"." But how is he going to cross the border if he doesn't have papers"." No that kid we are going to bring him with or without papers"." But how"." We are going to hide him. That's what we Mexicans do to cross. Hiding". I told soraya."no the only one who can help us is dris. I've told him a million times already but he said I have to work for him another year to get those papers but he's not going to do it" Jadah said. " let me talk to him. I'll convince him okay I'll convince him" I said walking out the office going over to talk to dris. When I was about to talk to him I feel someone grab my arm and pull me away. When I looked over it was Santiago." We need to talk"." There's nothing we need to talk about. I already told you what I had to tell you". I said while he leaned me against the bar side." You didn't want to listen me. You wanted to negotiate with those people sounds perfect to me. Do whatever the fuck you want to do with your life but leave me alone". I said pushing him away from me."wait" he said pushing me back." I'm just not used to girls talking to me like that"." Really. Well I'm not used to man not having enough balls to say no. How much did they offer you huh? A lot. How much are you worth Santiago"." That's not your problem"." You know right now for them your worth a lot but tomorrow when your dead your worth zero. The only difference between them and me is that right now to me your worth zero" I said with no emotion in my voice. He didn't say anything else and left. I turned around and asked for a drink. I drink my tequila and turn back around and I see Ivan looking at me. He have a smirk as if to tell me something but I'm not sure what. He probably heard the whole conversation between Santiago and I. I turned back around to relax when I heard my name being called." Karla" I turn around and it was Ivan." Why don't you come and sit with us" he said. He was sitting with dris and another guy. I walked over to them." Hi". I heard the other the guy cough." Oh my Karla do you- well this is sula"." Hi I'm Karla Mendoza"I said extending my hand out to him." Well I have seen you around here before but you never look at me beautiful" he said about to kiss my hand." Sula" Ivan said. Sula sat back down." Um dris can I talk to you"." Can't you see I'm talking to my friends"." It's something important"." It's important to me or to you". That was harsh."come on dris the girl is asking you to talk, have a conversation with her, with manners. We don't treat a young lady like that". Dris got up and walked towards his office. I followed him in and we sat down." Okay so what do you need to tell me"." I wanted to know if you could help Jadah bring her son over here"." Look this is a prostitute club not to help homeless little people okay and Jadah, she already knows that if she wants to have her son here with her, she has to keep working for me another year" he said getting up and leaning forward on his desk." I know dris i don't want to get in your business but I'm just saying that a kid who stays alone in life and has nobody to take care of him is an emergency"." No no no no it's that business and compassion doesn't work together. I don't care what happen to Jadah and her son. Jadah new what she was getting herself into when she left her son over there in Pakistan. The only thing I can do is give her a week to solve this out and that's all I can't do anything else". I shook my head and headed towards the door." Hey what's wrong with you and the gallego. I see you too giving eye to each other. I don't want any problems in my bar" dris said. He could seriously get into business that wasn't even his. I walked out his office and I saw Jadah. She looked so worried. She looked at me and I just shook my head saying no. She started to cry but then I looked over to Ivan. I looked at Jadah again and told her to wait." Is there something you want to ask me Karla" Ivan said." Why don't you sit down with me and take a drink". I walked over to him and sat down." I need to ask you favor"." Tell me"." The favor isn't for me but for my friend Jadah. She wants to bring her child over here from Pakistan but he needs his papers and I know you can get them for him the fake ones". I told Ivan." What are you doing Mexican girl" I heard dris ask. I turn around to look at him but I didn't say anything." You know that's it I'm done. I'm the boss here and if I want and I can kick you out!"." That's enough" I said getting up."I'm tired of you treating me like one of your sluts!!". I yelled at dris. I got my stuff and left home. I was really mad at dris at this point. For sure I was going to quite and this time I meant it. I walked into my room and head to the kitchen. I cooked myself something while I thought about Santiago. I was determined to forget about him if he was going to dedicated his life to that. I finished eating, washed my dishes, brushed my teeth and headed to bed. Let's see what surprises I had tomorrow.
