rowan
*ten years ago*
my eyes wandered around the room looking for mauricio. when i didn't seem him anywhere i took the opportunity to wander around the warehouse.
i had too much on my mind. i didn't think i could go through with this plan. i can't leave joey, i didn't wanna leave joey.
i didn't wanna leave angelica nor santiago. oh my god i'm gonna miss him so much. i'm gonna miss holding him and putting him to bed. i can't believe i'm gonna miss out on him growing up.
i stop and start shaking my head. "i can't do this." i mumble.
i start running around the warehouse looking for an exit. i keep on running until i found a door. i nod towards it and open it, gasping when i see mauricio standing there by the door.
"going somewhere?" i gulp and back away slowly.
he starts walking closer to me. "you do remember the plan don't you rowan? the part where you exchange your life for your kids and boyfriends freedom?"
"i can't do it mauricio!" i shout at him and stop.
he sighed. "i figured you'd say that." he shuts the door behind him and walks closer to him. "which is why i upgraded our deal into something more, something i think you're gonna like."
"will they have to die for it?" i ask him.
he shook his head. "everyone ends up alive, i promise."
he leans his lips down to my ear and starts whispering.
i nod at every word that comes out of his mouth.
*flashback over*
joey
i take my gun out and point it at mauricio's head. "what do you want?"
he shook his head and held his hands up. "i have something for you, it's from your dead girlfriend."
he reaches over for his pocket and takes out a white envelope. i look at it confused.
"except, the thing is, i can't let you open it." he says. "yet."
i lower my gun down slowly. "what do you mean not yet?"
"rowans orders." he smiled.
i snatched the envelope out of his hands and looked at it. "it's her writing." i mumble.
he nods. "i let her write another one right before she kicked the bucket." he lets out a small laugh.
"you're a monster." i heard santiago say.
i look over my shoulder and see santiago looking at mauricio with a disgust look on his face.
mauricio gasped as he looked at him. "holy shit, is that the little baby?" he waved at him and grinned.
"hi there, i'm your grandpa mauricio, i'm the one who killed your mom." he smiled evilly at him. "he's gotten so big wow, he looks a lot like rowan too."
santiago was about to come at him but i stopped him. "santi, your room now!"
he looked at me then at mauricio before jogging up the stairs.
i look back at mauricio and point my gun at his head at him. "when do i open it?"
"last i could remember is when your daughter turns fourteen which is when? in two weeks." he shrugged.
