Nada

After sitting there, thinking of nothing, Angel paced out in the hallway.

"Who gave you this?! Where did you get it?!" Angel started to yell. Ez stood up and pushed him against the wall.

"Dont yell at her!" I stood up and walked to the boys, who were about to bite each others heads off.

"I found it in my car, i dont know who put there." I took a deep breath. "I shot him, its done, its over." I looked at KJ's body. Angel pulled his hair and walked into the kitchen swearing. Ez came behind me.

"I'll figure this out okay." He gave me a hug. I stood there with my arms around him, crying onto his shoulder. He looked at me. "I got you Marisol, always." I thought to myself, what have i gotten myself into.

A hour later:

"I wasn't expecting ninja-level work, but this Little sloppy, boys." Potter said as he came in and examined the room. "and girl." I leaned against the wall as I saw him looking at KJ and the other man.

"You knew his boss would be here." Angel told him.

"I didn't plan it, but, yes, I monitored the call.
Knew he might still be here. The, uh outcome, although not ideal, it is manageable."

"You can tell that to their families.They can think about that the next time they eat a piece of pie." I said to him as i looked at the pie on the table.

"Think this is homemade?" I chuckled with disgusted. This man is insane.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"How do you get away with this?"

"All the gatekeepers have been fired, Ezekiel.
Or resigned, trying to salvage what's left of their souls. There are no longer any obstacles between avarice and executive order. The only limitations are, uh The imagination and conscience of the, uh Man with the task." Potter sighs and looks at the family photos. "So, to work. Uh, there have been no 911 calls about shots fired, so your, uh, disposal should go smoothly." He looks at the bodies and then at us. "Um, we'll take care of the vehicles. Uh, I would suggest using Galindo's underground freeway to, uh, get them to the other side. Deep hole, please. I'll need proof." He walked around the room.

"What about the blood?" Ez asked.

"There will be no blood. Let me know when you're done." I rolled my eyes as I took off the bloody curtains and picture frames. Potter ate the pie and I looked at him. Fucking disgusting. "Store-bought. Hmm. Shame." He spits it out and looked at us cleaned. After cleaning and putting the bodies in the van, I didn't say a word after what happened. Angel drove, Ez was sitting on the passenger seat and I was sitting where the bodies where.

"I'm supposed to be back soon. I picked up Alvarez's bag, ordered the meat from Pop." Ez said to Angel. He shook his head and looked at Ez.

"We just wasted two Feds and you're worried about being late to the party? This is fucked up, little brother." Angel looked at me. "Marisol is fucked up, It wasn't supposed to go down this way." I was just gonna ignore everything. I just want everything to be done.

"If I didn't show up, you and Marisol would probably be dead." Ez told him.

"Then that's on me! I'm the one who fucks up." Angel yelled at him.

"I can't keep seeing everything as a mistake, Angel. All I do is chase the repair. It's fucked up, I know. I got to start believing that this is my life That some of this shit is supposed to happen."

"It is. To me." Ez looks back at me. He reaches out his hand. I grabbed it and I held it. I want to feel bad but I dont. Why is that? I didn't cry when I shot KJ. We made it to the tunnels. I jumped down and looked for something to carry the bodies. We made our way, struggling with the bodies. I missed a bump and the bodies fell. KJs body was revealed.

"Shit." They said. We all looked the the body.

"Do you guys remember him from when we were kids?" Angel asked.

"No. Not really." Ez replied.

"All I remember was this Fourth of July party, barbecue His old man slapped the shit out of him because he spilled relish on our tablecloth."

"Yeah. Good times."

"I remember it was my birthday. Mom decided to throw the party at their place. I was just playing around in his parents room, I saw Tias wedding ring and I accidentally dropped it into the air vent. I never told anyone. So I went to the party. We opened our Christmas gifts and being nosy, I noticed that KJ and Tio was gone. I went to basement and I walked in on him hitting him. Hitting him for something I did." I sighed. "I told tio that it was me and and I was hit too. Ever since that day, KJ owe me a favor. I pulled that favor to get out of the deal." I picked up the body.

"Oh shit Marisol." Angel said. They helped me and we made to the other side. We started to dig to the bodies in. Ez and Angel both agreed that I set that out and be the look out. "I'm gonna drop you at the storm drain." Angel said to Ez.

"Where you going?"

"It's where you're going that matters. After Templo, you tell Bishop you're done. Then you pack your shit; you leave in the morning. It'll be the last fucking grave you ever dig." Angel then threw the bodies in the hole. The boys both looked at me. I crossed my arms.

"What." I said to them.

"After this, youre done. You wont be in this anymore. Imma try to convince Potter to let you go." Ez said.

"And whatever happens, i- i mean we, will protect you." Angel told me. I didnt care at this point. I just wanted to go. Ez took the pictures and we left. Angel left to go somewhere and Ez dropped me off at the club.

"Hey, how you feeling?" He asked me.

"I feel nothing. I just want to pretend that nothing had happened. We will not bring this up." He grabbed my hand.

"We wont say anything about this anymore. Its our little secret. Coco wont know." I looked at him with sadness in my eyes.

"I cant lie to Coco anymore, i need to tell him. We agreed to not keep any secrets. It almost broke us with Letty. I cant do this to him. I lied to him too much."

"Then tell him, im okay with it. But You did nothing wrong."

"What if I get caught?" Ez sat there. He was worried. "Ez?"

"You wont because ill take the blame." I shook my head.

"Dont. I cant let you do that." I looked at him. "I gotta take care of all of you."

"Im your older brother, i can take care of you too." He kissed my head and i went off.
