"You're being quiet," Richie spoke up to Santanico as he kept his eyes on the road. Josephine was almost asleep in the back seat.
"I'm thinking," Santanico said, staring blankly out the window.
"Thinking about what?" Richard asked, "It's a simple plan. This is your plan, by the way. Use Josephine and the girls as bait, follow the flesh, find Mavaldo's hideout and pop him."
"And then?" Santanico asked still not looking at him. Something was off about her. She was sad but Josephine couldn't understand why.
"Then? Then, we're set. I mean this guy has got a big operation, right? We're gonna put that to work for us." Richie said cockily.
She watched as Santanico furrowed her brows, taken aback by his words, "Pull over." Josephine was reminded of her fight with Seth when she said this. Unlike Seth, who kept driving when Josephine had asked him to stop the car, Richie pulled the car over to the side of the road as soon as he could.
She got out walking some distance away from the car before stopping folding her arms. Richie let out an annoyed sigh then, got out of the car walking towards her. The windows were down so she could hear the whole conversation. "Look, I get it. You wanna tear everything down. You're all screwed up about the guy. Don't think that I'm not sensitive to that. I see you dancing all alone, and burning yourself in the sunlight. You gotta let that go. I am not gonna destroy his operation. He is loaded, and, yes, therefore I will be loaded too. But I'm not about a smash and grab job. This Gecko is not some d-bag trigger man." Richie tried to reason with her.
"Not a good move, Richie," Josephine muttered to herself knowing all too well what Santanico was capable of.
Richard continued talking to her but was cut short, "This Gecko is a brilliant tactician-"
Richard was thrown to the floor by a Culebra Santanico, who threw punch after punch at him. She roared at him and he roared back also transforming into his culebra form. He threw her off of him and she rolled out into the empty street. She got up quickly and Richie motioned her to come at him. She threw a forceful punch at the side of his head and he backhanded her in the cheek which only made her angrier.
Josephine wasn't rooting for Richie. If anything she regretted agreeing to help him now seeing what his true intentions were with the operation. Josephine found it sickening.
Santanico stumbled back from the slap, but regained her strength and took the upper hand of the fight as he strides towards her. She was about to slam him down on the car, but Richie yelling stopped her.
"Wait! The car!" He said not wanting to damage it in anyway. Josephine rolled her eyes at Richie's materialistic plead.
"I want him dead!" Santanico yelled at him, "I want his whole world turned to dust. No more slavery, Richard. Does your brilliant fucking mind understand that?"
