she walked out of the school before the bell could ring

emiliano- hey baby?

she broke down

emiliano- mija? viviana why are you crying whats wrong my love?

she explained everything

emiliano- viviana stop and breath where are you i need to call your mom? you shouldn't be out alone like this?

viviana- is it true tio? is it! tell me!!

emiliano- my love there's so much you dont know and there's reason why this boy isn't your friend he never was hes mad and i understand but your mother and father where protecting you from the ugly truth and pain of it all my love im so sorry this is how you had to find out im flying out my love im about to board my jet im sending my boys to get you i have your location and there going to take you to your mom and dad ok mija?

emiliano- in a couple hours traffic and everything but im coming but vivi stay calm its ok i promise

viviana- they lied to me.. my whole lives been a lie tio

chris: viviana!!

she turned and froze

emiliano- is that him calling for you?

viviana-its not his fault tio its not

emiliano- he shouldn't have done this this way he could've saved you so much pain its not his job to tell you what really happened because its all one sided to make your mother look bad ..

an escalade pulled up and his homie got down and opened the door for her

emiliano- give your phone to frank and get in the truck go come on i love you we'll have dinner tonight on me at your favorite sushi spot tonight?

viviana- ok tio i love you too ..

she gave him the phone and got in the truck .. chris ran up frank turned and put emiliano on the phone

frank: stop and listen

chris: what?

emiliano- you are no one to tell her what happened you weren't even there yourself to be talking either .. i know your a kid in pain and im sorry you where brought into this mix but your mother was paid millions to stay the fuck away and now its going to cost her even more to stay alive thats coming from her uncle tell your mother maricela will be popping out soon

chris- she cant kill her shes already dead her money was worthless it didnt cure her cancer .. vivianas my sister and i love her she should know who her family is and who her real father was and what happened to him

emiliano sighed

emiliano- this all could've been done better you know that .. tell whoever your guardian is to be ready dont even try and run i already have your phone number .. frank take her please

frank- on it jefe

frank ended the call and looked at chris

chris: isn't this considered kidnapping?
