Araceli's POV
Sunday .

I had broke down a fake plan to Spooky last night on the phone, and he had a agreed to take me.

I was up in the room with Maya waiting for her to wake up, "I'm gonna take care of everything mama."

She stirred letting out small groans of pain, "Araceli?" She cried once she opened her eyes.

"I'm here hermana." I smiled letting a tear slip down my face, and kissing her forehead.

"Oh thank god." She smiled a tear falling.

"I can't stay long. Tio Rickey called." I told her, "But Mario is on his way."

"What? Why did he call?" She spoke softly.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you later, but you need to rest." I smiled at her again, "I needed to be the first one you see. Let you know I'm okay."

My phone began to ring, and I saw Spooky🥰🤞🏽 flashing across the screen.

"Mario's coming up. I gotta go." I kissed her cheek.

I left her room getting in the elevator thinking of how to speak with my Uncle. I've done this plenty of times with my dad, but by myself was a different story.

I walked down the hall passing the emergency room seeing the red impala in front of the doors.

"You ready?" He asked once I came out the doors.

I nodded as he opened my door from the inside, "You know he's gonna have questions." Oscar stated.

"I know, I've got it all planned out." I smirked to myself.

- 30 MINUTES LATER -

We arrived at his house, as we pulled into the driveway the front door opened immediately, and out came Tio Rickey.

"Spooky." He spoke stepping outside. "Bonita." He smiled at me.

"Hola tio." I smiled, and turned to Oscar, "Can you stay here? I need to talk privately."

He nodded, and I got out the car. I walked up to my uncle one of the Santos. "Tio, ayudame?" I asked stepping in the house.

"Por que?" He questioned me.

"The hit." He raised his eyebrow at me, "Oscar told me tio, and I know who put it out."

"Sientate," He stated motioning towards the couch. "Adelante."

"Maya's ex. The Prophet boy. He did it." I looked down at my hands.

"Nombre?" He questioned entertained.

"Q, or Quincy." I replied to him, and immediately saw his eyes light up.

"How did you find out mija?" He asked me.

"I had a friend whose father and brother are Prophets. The brother told me." I told him continuing, "I asked him to meet me at the hospital last night, and he told me."

"You involved with him?" He leaned in questioning me.

"No tio." I shook my head, "Protected me when I went to hang with his sister."

He got up going to the door, "I'll call you mija, we'll take care of this. And we won't let it be known."

"Gracias." I smiled at him giving him a hug, "Call me if I'm needed."
