Chapter Fourteen

Jagger's P.O.V.

I pulled the automatic pistol from my waist band before pushing Emma behind me. The guy before me held a gun pointed to my head as he said.

"We have a sniper on stand by, you move an inch you're a dead man." His Mexican accent filled the silent air making me shiver. "What are you doing here this is La Sangre (The Blood) territory."

I didn't falter, the gun still held aiming at his temple as I answered. "Andrew Ericson told me I could find Andrés here."

"What do you want with my bother-in-law?" The guy asked.

"Alejandro." A voice boomed. "Retroceda por favor, Alejo. (Back off please, Alejo.)"

The guy, Alejandro, backed off glaring at the two of us. "Yo no confío end ellos. (I don't trust them." The voice was a growl as the white guy spoke in Spanish. Who knew a white guys would both act and sound like the Mexican beside him.

"Sí mi amigo. (Yes my friend.)" The guy said.

"Hey two no Spanish speaking people here." I growled softly. "You gunna help us out of not?"

"Sí, what did you say bout Andy telling you to come find me?" The guy I assumed was Andrés, asked. "And lower the gun mi amigo."

I lowered the gun reaching back to putting it back in my waist band. I then pulled Emma into my side as I answered the man before me. "My girl here ran away from her abusive father. We kinda want to start over, a new life. I wanna take her as far away as possible before he hurts her and I kill the damn fucker." Emma flinched slightly at my words but I continued anyway. "Andy said that you could help us out."

Andrés nodded. "Andy was working contracts for him and his sister."

"My brother gave up his spot for Jagger." Emma whispered beside me.

Andrés looked at the girl beside me. "Emma its nice to finally meet you, your brother doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut bout you."

She said nothing as she eyes the man before her.

"You didn't know he worked for me did you?" He asked her.

She shook her head. "No sir."

Andrés laughed softly. "Why are you scared my dear?"

I stepped in front of her making him look at me. "Are you gunna help or not?"

"Come with me." He said. "Alejo call off the sniper."

"Sí." The white guy said before looking up at a ruff top motioning something to the guy above.

Andrés then lead Emma and I inside the building before us and into an office.

Alejandro walked into the office. "Hey am I good to go Liv and the ninos want me home by three."

"Sí tell 'em I love 'em." Andrés said.

He then sighed the moment Alejandro left before looking at us. "So I take it I'll be getting you ID's, passports, money. You want off the grid, right?" He didn't wait for an answer. "Off the grid means you need a job where they ask little questions about your existence. The only job like that is a gang, that's if you're up for it."

"If it means keeping Emma safe then yeah." I answered.

She began to protest but I cut her off with a look that said it all.

"Do you have everything now ready or do we have to wait?" I aksed. "And as for a job what is it and where?"

Andrés smiled. "Picture for ID's and passport I'll have pictures taken now and they should be done by the time you leave. As for the job I've got a position open in Florida, my home town. You willing to take it?"

I nodded. "Can you provided transportation as well or do we have to do that ourselves?"

Andrés sighed heavily. "You remind me of Alejo, do determined to protect the ones you love yet he protected my sister, Live, from himself." He shook his head. "Alejo should've pulled out of La Sangre when the first of his ninos where born."

"Ninos being children?" Emma asked softly.

Andrés nodded. "Thing one and thing two hopefully don't join La Sangre when they get older they may have novias to take care of."

In a way I understand the Spanish. Andrés was hoping his blood goesnt join the gang, he's hoping they get to have a life.

"Andrés may I have a word with you, alone?" I asked standing.

He nodded standing with me before leading me just outside his office door. "Que pasa?"

"I know gangs are dangerous but does that mean no family it is you brother-in-law, by being in the gang, keeping his family safe?"

"Alejo kept in the gang to keep his family safe so.yes if you're worried bout starting a family thy will be fine." He answered me.

I nodded. "Thanking you. Now bout the open job, what's the position?"

Emma's P.O.V.

I sat down after I over heard Jagger's conversation of having a family. Was he being serious about wanting that? Would he really want to start a family with me in the future whether its far or near?

I touched my stomach. "I wish I could give him what he wants." My voice broke as I spoke in a soft whisper. He would never become a father if he were with me.

I felt a tear slip just as the door opened. I sniffed wiping away the escaped tear as the rest threatened to rain down my face. I couldn't let Jagger see me like this. He can't know about this!

"Lets go get you pictures done with." Andrés said just ad Jagger hugged me from behind kissing my cheek.
