A while later a new member came up to Antonio.
“Patron (boss), I heard El Rey (The king) is back. I thought it was important to tell you”, he said.
We all watched him. I saw his eyes darken dangerously and a scowl form on. I think he hates this guy, El Rey. Who is that? People start whispering. I took Antonio away from the gang.
“What’s wrong?” I said.
He had a faraway look in his eyes. The emotions in them were powerful. Agony, fury, hate, and love battled in his eyes.
“El Rey is my greatest enemy. I hate him with a passion. He is as dangerous as me. He is a little less”, Antonio said with great emotion.
“Why do you hate him?” I said.
“He is responsible for why Lolita left”, he said.
“What happened?” I said curiously.
“His name is Marcos. That’s all I will tell you for now. One day I’ll tell you the whole story”, Antonio said.
Curiosity grew in my mind. What had happened? Antonio told everyone that he was going to take a walk and that everyone should relax and have fun.
“Gustavo, come with me”, he commanded.
I nodded yes and told George and Sam see ya later. I glided up to Antonio. We walked in silence and passed by my graffiti. Antonio saw what I made. His expression changed.
“Are those Natasha’s initials?” Antonio said.
“Yeah. I had the inspiration to do it”, I said.
“I like it. It looks amazing. I’m sure she would love it”, Antonio said.
“En verdad cres eso? (Do you really think that?)”, I said wondering.
“Si. Ella le va a gustar mucho lo que hisistes. (She’ll like what you did a lot)”, Antonio said.
“Gracias”, I said.
We kept walking together. I feel really honored that I am one of the people Antonio actually trusts. The other one is Jose. For Antonio it has never been easy. Even though when I found him I was young, he began trusting me. I have no idea why. He didn’t trust the other gang members as much as Jose and me. I hope good things come his way. He is a really good person. It’s only the outside people see but if they knew him like I do they would see how wrong they are.
“Hey Antonio”, I said.
“Yeah”, he said.
“When will you tell me about El Rey?” I said.
