Miss Bala

Chapter 9: For My Eyes Only

"No. He is going to die at the hands of my son."

"Gloria, lets go," my executive boss called me over. Yup, I got the job and I'm on my fourth day. It was pretty busy here. I moved to the station over and started on a young lady's makeup. Everything they want done here is a little different from L.A. but it's nothing I can't figure out.

I just finished my last client when my phone started ringing. Adrian.

"Hey?" There was a little confusion in my voice, this was the first time she's ever called me.

"Gloria?? Is Lino with you?" Panic drawn from her tone of voice.

"Um, no, he's not. I'm at work. What's wrong?"

"I can't get ahold of Chivo and nobody's at Gemma's house. I think one of you needs to get over here now."

"Okay, well Lino is about to pick me up right now. We'll be over."

We both hung and Gemma soon texted me saying she was already on her way to Adriana and Chivo's house. Lino picked me up and we headed over there, nearly speeding.

When we walking into the house, Adriana was pacing in the living room.

"What the hell is this, Lino?!" Gemma lead us into one of the bedrooms. It was trashed and there was photographs up on the wall. 'Dead bitch' written underneath. As we walked in and got a good look at the room, I noticed more closely at who was in the picture. Me.

There were also a few with all of us. But this were taken from afar, like we were being watched.

"Who did this?" Gemma questioned, still standing at the door.

"A.T.F" Lino's face held some much anger, as he stopped in the middle of the room, looking at Gemma.

"Why?"

"Gloria."

This doesn't make sense. Why would he do this here??

"This guy's dead." Lino threw one of the photos he had torn off the wall and headed for the door.

"At least." Gemma stepped aside, letting Lino get through.

As soon as Lino walked out the house, he pulled out his phone and dialed Chief Padilla's number. He got into his car and waited for the line to pickup.

"Yeah. Kohn's still in town."

"I know. He's at Floyd's. I'm taking care of it."

The same day Lino threatened Kohn, Lino gave Padilla a heads up that if he didn't take care of it, Lino will. He explained the whole situation about Kohn stalking Gloria in California.

Lino hung up and sped out of the driveway, he intended to get there first.

"I'm really going to miss this, Floyd." Kohn was relaxed in a chair, getting a shave. Floyd was a little elderly man who ran his own barbershop.

Floyd seen Lino walking up to the shop and seen his reaction. He knew the drill, he didn't give Kohn a heads up or anything. He stepped out the way as Lino walked up, standing right beside Kohn. Kohn opened his eyes and within a split second, he tried to get up from his chair.

Lino quickly grabbed him, having a nice grip on his shirt and slammed him into the mirror wall in front of them. Not letting go, he pulled him off the wall and dragged him to the middle of the shop.
