Roxy

chapter 42: an eye for an eye

(Louis P. O. V)

I watched as Roxanna went haywire on the poor guy that ran up to us. "What do you mean you can't find her!" She yelled in the guy's face. She threw punch after punch until Ronan had to separate the both of them.

"Enough Roxy! I'm sure Ruby's fine. She's a grown woman and can take care of herself."

As if on cue, a young woman wearing all black came up to us. She looked dead inside. She was drenched from head to toe, like she went for swimming in her clothes.

"Ruby! Where did you go?! I was so worried-"

"I'm fine." She said before sitting near the bonfire. "Er, what were you guys doing? You can continue." She said before rocking herself back and forth on the sand.

The girl I have come to know as Amalia asked, "Ruby you're soaking wet. What happened?"

Ruby shrugged. "Stuff."

"Hey it's nice to see you again!" Kelly waved at her from the other side of the bonfire.

Ruby waved unenthusiastically "Hi Kelly." She said and Kelly gasped.

"You remember me?!"

"Yeah. Hey Louis." She waved at me and my eyebrows furrowed together.

"Hey...." That wasn't the way I thought she'd react. Something is definitely wrong with this girl and I'm going to find out what.

(Roxy's P. O. V)

I stared at Ruby as she stared at the bonfire absentmindedly. I sighed and looked at the guard I beat up as he winced trying to get up.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay ma'am. We shouldn't have lost sight of her. Forgive us."

"It's okay, you may leave." I said and he went back to his post. I was about to walk back to the others when my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and saw it was James.

"Hello?" I said as I picked up the call.

"Hey, we have some leads on Fernando." He said and I smiled like a lunatic.

"Really? Where is he? Do you have his location? I'm coming back today-"

"Woah! No we don't have he's location. We had his location." He said and I frowned.

"Oh." I didn't bother to hide the disappointment in my voice.

"Yeah....well we both know he's Mexican, but he hasn't been seen in any part of Mexico. Well we found out he took a private plane to Mexico yesterday to see someone."

"Who?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out. I just thought I should let you know."

"Oh okay." I said and they was a few seconds of silence between us. "I miss you." My eyes widened and my palms flew to my mouth once I realized what I said.

I heard him chuckle before saying. "Miss you too, beautiful." Before I could say anything he ended the call. I'm sure the guy is feeling all smug now.

I sat down between Louis and Ximena near the bonfire. Everyone was talking to one another except the two people beside me.

"What's your last name?" I asked Ximena. I could feel Louis's eyes on me, but I didn't care.

"Toronto." She said and my eyebrows furrowed.

"You're Mexican but you're Last name is the name of a city in America."

"Yeah... well you see, I told you I didn't know my dad. So I took my mother's last name. She's part American." She explained and I nodded in understanding.
