The Girl Next Door

Chapter 11

It's been a few days since meeting with Emily and there have been a few Reaper men in and out of the clubhouse. I don't speak unless I am spoken to. One of the Reaper men asks "You okay?" I shake my head no and Angel says "She's part of the reason that you were called." The guy looks at me and says "My name's Rane and this is Happy. We got you." I nod and say "Thank you." He nods and so does Happy before they head into Templo. Angel kisses me softly and says "I love you." I nod and say "I love you too." Letti walks over and says "I got her." He kisses me one more time before heading into Templo to work out the details.

Later that day, we are sitting around the clubhouse and I am snuggled into Angel like I normally am. Emily walks in the door and has her son in her arms. I hug her and take Cristobal from her. "Hey little man." I coo and he looks up at me and smiles and I can't help but smile back. Angel looks at me and says "We're going to have one someday mi reina." I look at him and say "I know." He kisses me softly and I see Bishop walk in, closing his phone. He looks at Emily and says "You should head home." She looks at him and he nods. Nodding back, she takes Cristobal from me and we hug. I kiss his little cheek and she heads out the door. Bishop looks at me and says "Reaper men have him." I nod and take a deep breath.

A little later, Bishop's phone rings and he smiles. Looking at me, he nods and I say "I should go to Emily's." Angel and we head out the door. Pulling up at Galindo's house, I knock on the door and Nestor answers. "She's in the living room." I nod and he lets us in. Walking over to Emily, I sit next to her and Angel takes Cristobal from her and she hugs me, sobbing. "I'm so sorry Emily. I'm so sorry." I tell her, sobbing with her. She looks at me and says "Don't you dare apologize." she says cupping my face. "You did nothing wrong. You hear me?" she asks and I nod. Emily gets herself together and says "You want to help me evict some whores?" I nod and Angel and Nestor say "We're in." The nanny takes Cristobal from Angel and we head out the door.

Pulling up to one little house, we walk up to the door and knock. When the door opens, we see a young woman in her early twenties. "Can I help you?" she asks. "Are you Carmen Lopez?" Emily asks. "Yes. And you are?" she asks. "Emily Galindo." she says. Carmen's eyes go wide and she says "I'm guessing you know who I am." Emily says and Carmen nods. "Then you know Miguel was married?" I ask and again she nods. "Here's your eviction notice. You have until the end of the week to get out." Emily tells her. "Miguel won't let you do this." she tells Emily. "Dead men can't do shit." Angel says and Carmen's eyes go wide. "Now, you have until the end of the week." Emily says before turning and walking away. We pull up to the other house and have pretty much the same conversation but this one didn't know he was married and didn't know he had another mistress. "Mamamama." we hear. "You have a child?" I ask. "With Miguel, yes." I look at Emily and you can see her getting pissed. She looks at Nestor and then at the woman. "Are you working?" Emily asks. "Yes." she says. "I'll have Nestor come by with a rental agreement. I won't kick your child out onto the street." she says and the woman thanks her. "I honestly didn't know he was married." she tells Emily. We walk away and Emily says "He better be glad he's already dead."
