They followed the hearse as it drove towards the cemetery, which was called Schiber Cemetery, since he arrived in New Gibraltar, everything was renamed to 'Schiber'. Reggie's eyes were puffy because she'd been crying her heart out over the death of Aaron, Dio stood next to her, holding her hand and squeezed it as he held back his own tears, but the floodgates opened because memories of Aaron and Dio's childhood flashed in front of him, the grave lowered and the day turned to rain, the rain hit their faces and resembled tears as they fell off.
"Even the heavens weep." Reggie uttered, "See that Aaron, even the world is crying for you." She continued
"Yeah, buddy, the world." Dio whispered.
As they were leaving, Reggie realised that someone was watching them. In the tree-line, a man was standing. She focused on him, and then realised, it was one of Schiber's goons, they had come for HER. She ran and came to a small gate, it was electronically locked, she waved her hand in front of it and it opened. She was convinced it was a coincidence and passed it off as nothing, she ran into the estate and came across a middle-aged woman who called herself Amor, she asked her why she would call herself 'love' and she replied. "I used to love someone, back in Gibraltar, but I lost him after Silver attacked."
"W-who?" Reggie asked Amor
"Garci_" she began, when a bullet flew right into her head, killing her stone dead. Reggie bolted to one of the buildings, sure enough, electronically locked.
"My arm." She said, "My arm might." She continued
She waved her arm in front of the lock and it opened. She ran towards door 12, something about that number comforted her. Her mother had told her that 12 was the number on her father's door when they met in Gibraltar, she asked what estate, Coast View, she replied, 12 Coast View. Why her father? She thought to herself as she realised this, she looked around and it was full of furniture someone lived here and she wasn't gonna wait for the homeowner.
"Who's there?" said a male voice
"Crap." Reggie whispered
"Who are you?" said the male voice.
"R-R-Reggie R-Romero." Reggie said
"Reggie?" said the male voice as the face came into view.
"D-Dad?" Reggie exclaimed "DAD!!!!!" She roared, in fury
"I'm sorry, OK" he explained
"Spare me you rotten bastard!" she screamed, "You did this to me. LOOK!" she shrieked showing her father her arm.
"You don't understand, OK, I didn't mean to crash the car!" he shouted, "That Schiber arsehole sent someone after us, we were rear ended and we went over the cliff, I survived and nursed my wounds here in this house, your mother? Where is she?" her father explained
"I don't know... I thought you were both dead..." Reggie cried.
"Don't cry, princess." Her father said.
"Wait. You're still a liar" Reggie said, wiping her eyes, "Why did you never tell me who you were?!" she shouted
"Who I was?" her father asked, "Who I WAS!!!" he roared
"YES!" she screamed
"BECAUSE I HAD TO PROTECT YOU, DID YOU STOP TO THINK THAT IF SOMEONE WERE TO EVER DISCOVER YOU WERE MY CHILD, YOU WOULD BE AT ALL SAFE!" he bellowed
"DIO MORRACHIOLI TOLD ME!" she screamed
"DIO?" he said
"YES, THE ONE YOU TURNED INTO THE POLICE!" Reggie shouted.
"She's in here!" yelled a male voice, it was the goon
"No, leave her!" shouted Dio, a gunshot was heard. Reggie screamed, she saw Dio fall to the ground with his brains decorating the wall behind him, his body collapsed onto the floor.
"Reggie. Run." Said her father, as they pushed past the guards, they ran out of the estate and were pursued by the cartel. They lost them and hid in a small bungalow.
"Why didn't you tell me who you were, Dad, why didn't you tell me your name was Andrew Ibanez." Reggie asked, breathlessly
"Because, I needed to keep you safe." He explained
"Fat load of good that was!" Reggie said, looking at her bionic arm."
"I know. But I'm sorry, we need to find your_" he began, the cartel had followed them in and tranquilised Andrew, he collapsed and then someone held a rag over Reggie's mouth and nose, it was chloroform and she felt light-headed as she collapsed as well.
"Take them to the mansion." Said one of the goons.
"No, take them to Gibraltar, that's where he is now." Said another person
"Indeed." Said the goon, "Gibraltar it is"
Reggie and Andrew were loaded into a plane, they were jetted to Gibraltar. They touched down in Gibraltar and they were taken to the new Schiber Tower.
"Leave them alone!" shouted a voice, from the old Bayside School
"It's not possible you were_" said one of the goons, Andrew woke up and a fuzzy image hit his eyes.
"You survived?" he said
"Yes, hello Andrew." Said the voice
