John could not believe it as his boss told him the news.

Over a total of 144 slaves had escaped from 6 states, three in the North and three in the South.

Which meant that they had escaped to Canada and Mexico.

What the Hell?

"Based on the number of slaves that escaped all at the same time and the directions, we can tell that this was planned out," His boss said.

Planned out.

Diego and Canada, it had to have been them.

But it was three states in the North and South that the slaves and escaped from.

They had to have had help.

But who- South America.

Wait... if they did this..... Maria had to have known.

Yes, it all made sense. The second or third day she had came, the states, cities, etc, had started to act nicer to him. Even Virginia.

He should have known, no wonder he had been getting bad feelings about her lately.

But what was their goal?

To just free slaves?   

No, it had to be something much bigger then that. Maria didn't even have to come to America to do that, she could have just stayed in Mexico.

"Sir, I think we should maximize security on plantations, especially the Northern States. They might not force laws on keeping slaves."

His boss nodded.

John kept trying to think of what Maria could have been planning.

The states, cities, etc had been looking more excited especially this morning.

Especially Pennsylvania.

Was something going on in her state?

"Sir, I think I'll head up to Pennsylvania today to enforce new laws."

His boss nodded, "Very well."

John headed out, he was going to get to the bottom of this.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They all look at the door as an angry John walked in.

He pointed at Maria, "You sure got some balls to pull off a stunt like that."

"What are you talking about John?" She asked.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about!!" He slammed his hands on the table.

"You and that family of yours planned everything out didn't you?"

Maria's eyes' widened, "What the Hell are you talking about?"

"I don't know what your planning but I won't let it slide," He grabbed Maria by the shirt and raised his hand up to hit her.

But we all know Maria.

She's badass.

Maria however wasn't having that, she raised her hand up and slapped John in the head so hard that he fell back.

Her younger siblings eyes' widened.

"Go Mar!!! Go without me!!!" Pennsylvania yelled to her sister.

Maria grabbed her purse and ran out the house.

She had to get to Pennsylvania, now.

John held his head and got up. Texas hit him with his gun and he fell back down.
