 (In the afternoon)

Camila walked into Epifanio's office. She wanted to talk about everything that was going on. The thought of Cortez still being out there scared her to hell and back. Epifanio wasn't in his office yet. Camila waited for him.

"Camila?" he said as he walked in. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you about Cortez still possibly being alive...." she answered.

"As I said before, we don't need to worry about him."

"Yes Epifanio, we do. Several of those who worked for him could be on his side and we wouldn't know. I'm scared to death of what may happen to you, to Isabella. It's not like we can't think about it."

"Camila we have plenty of protection. None of Cortez's men included for such purposes and Isabella has a guard undercover to protect her while she's at school. We can trust these people. If there really is anything you need to care about right now, it should be yourself. You're causing yourself stress."

"Well it's better to fucking think of my family first is it not?! I'm surprised you're not stressed the hell out right now! You act like everything is just fine and it fucking isn't! Epifanio get it through your damn head! We had security the last few times and there were downfalls! What makes this any different!"

"There is no need to raise your voice at me! I care about Isabella just as much as you do! Dammit Camila! Calm down!"

"You act like you don't give a fucking shit!"

"I'm just trying to keep calm in light of things!"

"You are such a bastard!"

"Camila! That's enough! You act as if you want to run from everything that scares you!"

"I do Epifanio! I'm scared to damn death right now! I'm used to fighting my own fucking battles but this shit is different!"

"Explain to me how the hell so!"

"What's the fucking point?! You didn't listen to what I said just earlier then what makes you think I know you'll listen now?!"

"Camila you're being irrational!"

"And you're being a fucking prick! I'm getting Isabella and going home! Fuck you! You'll never understand!"

She rushed out of his office and went to her own across the building. Camila collected her things and went to the car. She picked up Isabella and went home like she said she would. 'That asshole going to fucking yell at me by the time he gets here. I'm not dealing with his bullshit yelling anymore. Epifanio has no fucking idea,' she thought. Camila packed a few things to go stay away for a while. She could go to Teresa since they'd moved location and she hadn't told Epifanio where they were. Camila wouldn't go there though. Just then, Epifanio's car pulled up, and he was pissed the hell off. She snuck out the back of the house to get away.

"Where's your mother?" he asked Isabella.

"I'm not sure. I remember her going upstairs. She muttered to herself the entire time. What's going on?" Isabella replied.

Epifanio rushed up the staircase and to their room. He didn't see her. He looked out of the window and saw that Camila's car was no longer in the driveway as it had been.
