After she called Marco, Bella took Jaime to the band's house. She couldn't sit still, she keeps walking back and forth with her phone in her hand.
Marco told her to wait there until his team comes. It shouldn't take long, he said. But each second feels like hours when she knows Erick is in danger.
Richard asked her to sit down and offered her a glass of water. She just took the water, but doesn't sit. "He just gained back his memory. He can't leave us before Jaime learn his first word." she mumbles alone.
Chris holds her arms and tells her to stop. "Don't say that. We'll see him again." he hugs her to calm her down.
When Marco's team comes to pick up Bella and Jaime, Richard hands their van keys to Chris. "Follow them. If there aren't dirty cops Juan won't be walking out from prison." he said.
He then left Chris and Zabdiel, saying that he had something to take care of. With that, they went separate ways.

From the broken window Erick can see his brother coming. Marco looked around before he ran into the building, screaming for Erick's name.
"Here!" Erick responded. Marco hugged him as soon as they found each other. "I still want to strangle you for not letting me and mom to visit you after the accident. But let's get you out from here."
On their way out Erick asked about Bella and his son, Marco convinced him that they're both safe with his team. Just like it's a cue, his phone blew up.
He answered it without looking at the caller ID. Halfway through the call his face changed as he looks at Erick. He then gave a direction to the caller and continue walking.
"Marco, what's wrong?" Erick asked as he followed behind his brother. Marco didn't answer, and it makes Erick loses his patience.
Erick fastens his pace and turns Marco around. "Tell me what's wrong?" he screamed out. When Marco still looks hesitating Erick repeats his question and pushed him.
"Fine! Someone blocked the road when my team was on their way to send Bella and Jay to the safe place." Marco replied.
Now Erick went even more furious. It looks like his veins are going to burst. "Where are they now?" he asks yelling.
"With Chris and Zabdiel. They were at the scene that time so they took them away in the middle of the gun fight between my team and Juan's men." Marco answers.
Pulling Erick's shoulder, Marco forces him to walk faster to his bike. On their way to the place where Chris and Zabdiel was waiting for them, there's nothing else Erick can think about. Only his girl, and his son.
They got to an isolated old gas station. An old grumpy man was with a bulldog on his lap keeps his eyes on Marco and Erick as they parked their bike.
"You got my parcel just now?" Marco asks the man. "In the room at the back. Remember to pay me good." the old man replies.
Erick followed Marco to the room the old man mentioned. As they get in Bella rushed into his arms. "Erick" she says with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm here now, I'm here." Erick kissed her head. Bella breaks free from the hug and checks on him. "Are you hurt?" she asks, cupping his face with her hands.
Erick shook his head. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You and our boy are more important right now." he answers. He then picks Jaime up and kissed the little boy. He starts crying as he does so. "I'm sorry little Jay. You must be confused." he sobs.
"Where's Richard and Joel?" Erick asks Chris. "Richard had something to do. He texted me just now, saying that once he's done he's coming to help us. Joel, he just ran home this morning and packed his bag. He said he's going home with his family." Chris answers.
Erick looks away as he's feeling like crying again when he heard about Joel. He then looks at Bella. "He knows." he tells her. Feeling sorry for him, Bella hugs him again.
Richard asked them to wait for him, so they did. He came around an hour later. "From now on, we're going to handle things our way." he tells them.
As expected, Marco doesn't like the idea. That's when Richard strikes against him. "We took care of things ourselves before your so called functional team came to back us up the day Juan shot my guy Erick. That was a last minute preparation from us, and we're already more useful than you are. Now we can do better." he said to Marco's face.
What he said almost made Marco lands a fist on his face. Luckily before the fight starts Zabdiel holds Richard down, while Erick and Chris holds his brother.
"What about this? You and your team do your work, while we do our thing? We'll need each other in the end. But for the time being, I don't trust your guys." Richard tells Marco.
It was hard to swallow, but Marco can see Erick agreeing to Richard. "Okay then." he glares at Richard before laying his eyes on Erick. "Just call me when you need me." he said.
"Now we move to the place I have for us." Richard said, leading the others out to follow him. "You can come with us if you want to. Or maybe not." he tells Marco, who followed them just because he can't leave his little brother just yet.
