It's been only an hour since Victor and Lorenzo went into another room to talk but it seems like it's been longer as I impatiently wait for them to come out but at least Maritza has calmed down. 

We begin hearing the sound of gunfire going off outside and yelling as Maritza, Javier and everyone begins to duck down behind something to protect ourselves from getting shot at as the front door gets kicked in and inside runs a different group of men who I can tell aren't with Lorenzo's men.

"Alright. Don't panic. I want you girls to head upstairs into my bedroom and I will come and find you when this is over. If anyone comes inside of there and isn't me, Lorenzo or Victor, shoot them with one of the guns I have underneath the bed.

I nod my head in agreement.

"Okay." I tell him.

"Alright, wait until the coast is clear and I tell you to go then you both run up those stairs as if your life depends on it." He tells us.

He looks around the couch where we are at and then pulls out a gun from the back of his pants. What the hell? Where the hell did that just come from?

He looks at us a moment later and starts having us begin to run.

Maritza and I hold each other's hands and duck as we try and run up the stairs as fast as we can and once we get to hers and Javier's bedroom, we close the door quickly behind us and I lock it then Maritza runs to the other side of the bed and grabs the two guns underneath then hands me one.

"Take this." She says.

"I don't know how to shoot one." I tell her.

"You'll be fine. Just aim at what you want to shoot and pull the trigger. Don't hesitate." She says.

Right now I feel as though I am seeing a whole other side of her than I knew before considering it waan't that long ago when she was hard to calm down after being upset over her brother.

Then again, I also know how protective she is of her family and including him.

"Well what do we do now? Just sit here and wait and hope nobody else comes in?" I ask.

"That is exactly what you bitches will do." We hear a familiar voice say from by the closet behind us in the corner.

We turn to look at Lolita as she has a gun drawn and pointed at us.

"How the fuck did you get in here?" Maritza asks.

"Come on. I used to come here when I was a child. There's a hidden trap door in the closet here that goes straight down to the basement that you and your brother had shown me that time we played hide-and-seek." She smirks.

Maritza aims her gun at Lolita and Lolita smirks then pulls out a gun from the back of her jeans and points it at Maritza while the other one is still at me.

"Maritza unlocks her fun and gets ready to shoot when all of a sudden, Lolita fires her gun at her at first, hitting Maritza right in the shoulder causing her to instantly drop her gun while screaming in pain and holding her wound as she falls back onto the bed.

Shaken up and scared even more now, I run to Maritza and try to look for something to cover up her wound real quick.

"Oh my god oh my god." I begin to panic.

"I'm fine. Just shoot the fucking Puta." She tells me.

However, when I tried to quickly shoot it, nothing happened.

"Fucking gringo. You didn't unlock the gun." She states while laughing.

"Shit!" I yell while trying to unlock it but she next starts coming over towards me and right as soon as she reaches out to try and grab me, I quickly throw the gun towards her head but she ducks and I next try and climb over Maritza onto the the other side of the bed to pick up her gun she dropped but I immediately feel my hair being yanked hard forcing me to stand up onto my feet before I was able to get it and I felt Lolita's gun touch the side of my head.

"I suggest you come with me and not try anything. Because my father has big plans for you." She says.

I feel her push the gun further against the side of my temple as she begins to pull me towards the door.

"Fucking..." I hear Maritza start to say while rolling over onto her side facing us while blood is staining the sheets.

"I wouldn't try anything either." Lolita snaps her head and keeps the gun at me. "And don't you worry, he has plans for you too. I'll be sure to have somebody come and get you very soon." She smiles.

I know that Maritza would put up more of a fight if she wasn't losing so much blood and becoming weaker in strength by the second.
