Made this for fun
she had no intention to fall in love with a man, little did she knew, she fell in Johnny 'Coco' Cruz's love spell. That man had her and she had him. Marisol never thought she would fall for him, i mean, a whore of a mother, ladies...
The boys came in shortly, since dad wanted to talk to all of us. I scooted as My dad sat next to me. Ez went to the fridge and grabbed some beers.
"There you go, Pop." Ez said as he passed one. "You?" He pointed at me. I looked at the beer. I for sure need something else.
"Got anything stronger?" They all looked at each other. What? Its been a tough day. Ez went to his cabinet and pulled out tequila.
"This?"
"Sure." He handed me the bottle. I poured some into a cup and drank it. "Thanks." I reeked. Ez showed his small smile and sat down.
"The documents in the lockbox. Ignacio Cortina." The three of us looked at each other. "I grew up in a small town with the Galindos. It was a dirt poor village about 40 miles north of Hermosillo. When I was a kid, my grandmother took in a bastard Galindo's old man fathered. Saved the family from shame. Ostracized by the church. Jose never forgot."
"Shit." I whispered.

"20 years later I was a federale in Sonora. Anti-drug squad. One of my first big undercover stings went bad. Two innocents were killed. My career was over. Jose Galindo made it all go away. Saved my job."
"You were in his debt."
"And that's where the shit got complicated. Now it's your turn." My dad sat up. He looked at us, one by one. "I know you've been digging into Mom's death."
"Emily told you." Ez looked up at him.
"She came to me with some information she found, terrified of what it meant."
"Money transfers."
"We know who pulled the trigger." I said as i looked the boys. My dad backed up.
"A Nomad, a member of the North Cali Sons crew." Ez confessed. "Still don't know who hired him."
"What did Emily find?" Angel butted in.
"Bring everything you have everything you know over to my house tonight."
"Why can't you tell us right now?" Angel said as he shook his hands.
"I made a promise that all parties would be there. We all have a different piece of the puzzle."
"How you gonna get Emily to the house without Galindo knowing?" Ez asked him.
"I'll figure it out. I'll let you know what time." Everyone got up, i was the only one sitting. They all looked at me.
"Go, please." They opened the door. "I can do it." I grabbed the crutches and made the short trip. I looked at the steps.
"I got you okay." Ez said as he was on the end of the step. I took a deep breath. I handed him the crutches and took my time. I put my left foot down. I grabbed my right leg. I missed a step and fell.
