Gabriel had his gun cocked, and ready. If the old man had been the bastard who did it, then he was going to pay. As they pulled up to the house, the driver soon exited the car. However Gabriel got out before the driver could even open the door for him. He knew the old man was home, he had been tailing him ever since he had claimed Cali.

"Open up old man!" He demanded as he banged on the door. Soon the lights came on, and the old man opened the door. There was a look of confusion upon his face.

"What are you doing here?" The old man asked as he had a look of panic. "What's going on? Did something happen to Cali?"

"Shut up, old man!" Exclaimed Gabriel. He then placed his forearm to the old man's neck, as he pushed him up against the wall. With anger in his soul, he pressed the barrel of his gun against the old man's temple.

"Was it you?" Gabriel cried out in anger. "Was it you who disfigured, and defiled her."

"Go ahead, and kill me!" The old man growled in anger. "Once you kill me, she will no longer be beholden to you!"

As his anger continued, Gabriel continued to breath heavily. He looked into the man's eyes, as he just stared back at him. Nothing seemed too phase him.

"Why don't you fear me?" Gabriel asked. "Everyone fears me, everyone but you, why?"

"Because I wish to die." The old man replied. "I wish to die for the same reason, that I had wished to die a couple of nights ago. I would do anything to protect Cali."

All of a sudden it dawned on him that there was no way in hell, that the old man could have done it to her. He was willing to die for her, just as Cali had been willing to die for him. If he had been the one to hurt her, then neither one of them would have been so loyal to each other.

"Shit!" Gabriel proclaimed as he lowered his gun from the old man's temple. "Then who did it?"

"Let it go, Mr Esposito." The old man replied. 'The man that did it has been in jail for the past seven years. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Plus Cali was minor when it happened. The perpetrator's cell mates probably did not take too kindly to that. Prisoner who assault children, are usually targeted by fellow prisoners."

"A minor, she was a minor at the time?" Cried Gabriel as he paced around the room shaking his head. "No! That's not good enough! He has to pay, he has to pay for what he did tom my fiancé!"

"Fiancé?' The old man cried. "What do you mean she's your fiancé?"

"I didn't choose Cali as a mistress." Gabriel replied. "I chose her as my wife, and the mother of my children."

"You don't even know Cali!" The old man proclaimed.

"I know I love her!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Really?" Replied the old man. "And just how did you find out about her scars?"

"That is none of your concern!" Exclaimed Gabriel. "Are you going to tell me, or do I have to ask her."

The old man sighed. "No please don't do that. It may be too dramatic for her to even think about. The man who hurt her was her last foster father. His name is Carl Jenkins."

"What the hell happened?" Gabriel growled through his gritted teeth.

"Most of Cali's foster parents had been neglectful, or abusive over the years." The old man explained. "A foster child can bring in a decent size tax free income. Unfortunately for Cali, she got lost in the shuffle. The homes where they wanted money, and not the love of a daughter, were unfortunately where she kept ending up. But the last home was the worse."
