The room started spinning with me. Fragments of dark images started flashing in my vision when I closed my eyes. The messy furniture, the blood of the men lying on the ground, Talia screaming and being forced in a car. I groaned and hit the wall again. Think! Think!
I picked up my phone and walked out of the house. I dialed Pablo knowing he was behind everything but he didn't pick up.
"Fuck!" I screamed again, my voice rang into the dark and through the trees. I felt helpless, not responsible. I couldn't let her get taken from me. Not again. This can't happen to me again. I looked up at the sky and let a tear fall. I was scared for the first time in a while. I didn't know what to do for the first time. I didn't know where to go or who to call. I felt weak.
I got in my car and started to drive like a maniac back to Pablo's house. I parked in front of his house. I opened the dashboard, grabbed my gun and put it under my shirt in the back of my pants. I got out of my car and rushed to his gate door.
"Tell him it's Ace again," I calmly said.
"But sir–"
"Now!" I yelled, pointing to the house. He nodded and walked back to his cabin to call Pablo. He walked to the gate and opened it. I didn't bother to get back in my car and just walked it. I was full of anger and adrenaline shot in my veins making my steps faster than usual. I opened the door and walked inside, searching for my target. When I met his eyes, he smiled. He was waiting for me. I grabbed my gun and with one switch it was pointed at him.
"Where is she?"
He raised his eyebrows and started laughing. "Chico, cálmate! [Boy, calm down]. I didn't know that she meant that much to you."
"Enough games, Pablo. Tell me where is she?" I screamed.
He stared at me then turned his back to me and walked to the couch to sit.
"Come sit."
I approached him, still pointing the gun to his head.
"You think I'm scared of you?"
"You should be."
"Well," he shrugged, "I'm not." I paused.
I loaded the gun. I didn't care about anything other than Talia. I needed to know she was safe.
"Sit, Ace. Let's talk."
"I'm not talking with a traitor like you."
"Well you have to if you want your chica [girl] back."
"Tell me where she is right now, Pablo."
"It wasn't my order to kidnap her, Ace."
My heart dropped.
"What do you mean?" I started, my heart started pounding against my chest, "what do you fucking mean it wasn't your order."
"The people who want the necklace wanted that."
My vision got blurry for a few seconds and all I could see is Talia in Lily's place.
"If you don't get me this necklace, they will kill me, you and your chica [girl]."
"You lied to me," I breathed, "Now people want to kill us for your stupid necklace?" I yelled.
"Now that you know what the necklace really is, I want to kill you," he threw his hands in the air, not giving a damn at the gun that is a press away from taking his life. "But I won't. Get it and we will take half-half."
"I don't want it and I don't want your money. Make them bring back Talia, Pablo or I swear to God I will take your life."
"Talia?"
