ANTONIO: Diablos MC (13 page)

After a few minutes of talks Tanks turns to me and nods for me to advance.

“Haylee is here.”  Tank says.

“I already know that.”  I growl.  I turn towards Jimmy.  “Give me my fucking woman now before I tear this place apart.”

“I was not aware of the situation I have seemed to find myself in.  Vera told me someone did her wrong and that she wanted to make it right.  I messed up by not looking into it.  If you have sisters, you will know how annoying they can be if you don’t give them what they want.”  Jimmy says trying to back away from me.  

But I have none of that.  Although that is some good information to have.  Vera’s brother is a high ranking leader in the cartel.  Although out of all the years we were married I never knew the bitch had any family.  She always told me she was an orphan. “Her brother?? Really I find that hard to believe.”

He shakes his head yes.  “She is all the family I have left.  A few years back she got married and said her husband wouldn’t let her see any of her family.  So when she finally got away from that bastard I brought her here.  To protect her.  Now I don’t know who you are or why she has your woman but I want to end this peacefully.”

I smile and shake my head no. This is going to be fun. “Oh Jimmy you are a stupid stupid man.  So let me educate you a little on the situation your skanky sister has put you in.”  I can see that Jimmy here doesn’t like it when I insult his sister but frankly I don’t give a shit.  “First off let me introduce myself to you.  My name is Antonio Hernandez.”  His eyes widen.  Oh yeah he knows exactly who I am.  Smiling bigger now “Well I will take your reaction as you have heard about me.  And what I am capable of.  Especially when you cross me.”  Jimmy here shakes his head yes. “Ok well let’s continue on with this little education of yours don’t you think Tank?”  I turn my attention to Tank.

“Oh Toni. I think Jimmy here has plenty more to learn.”

Shaking my head in agreement and turning back to Jimmy.  “See Jimmy a long time ago I met Vera.  She seemed like a nice, sweet. Woman.  I thought at the time that she was a great fuck.  And so I married her.  Yes, see Jimmy I am the ex-husband you are trying to blame for your separation.  Now I will say if I knew she had a brother in the cartel I probably wouldn’t have shunned her away.  I mean damn an insider with the cartel.  That’s fucking smart for our group.  But no Jimmy that could never happen because I was under the impression she was an orphan with no family at all.” 

“We were orphans.  But we were never separated.  She is my sister.” 

“Yeah see that little part was never shared with me.  But that is irrelevant now.  Since see I threw that trash away when I found out she was nothing more than a whore and was pregnant with someone else’s kid.  You see the problem there right.  Well anyways.  The situation your sister has put yourself in now is she for some reason has it out for my new woman.  The mother of my actual kid.  And she came to my house.  Had your thugs destroy my home where my daughter lays her head at night.  And took my woman.”  I yell those last few sentences. Yeah I am getting tired of teaching this man about the situation but I know I have to calm down to make sure Haylee is safe.

“Like I said to your leader I was not aware of the situation I was put in.  My sister said this woman wronged her and that she needed to pay.”  He says the last part and looks away.  They hurt Haylee.  I can see it. 

Pulling my gun out and placing right up against his temple.  I hiss “What the fuck did you do to her?” 

“None of my men touched her I promise you that.  Everything that was done to her was from Vera’s hands.  This was her problem and I let her take care of it.” 

“Take me to Haylee right now before I put a bullet in your head and everyone else’s right here right now.”

“Put your gun down and I will take you myself.” Jimmy says.

Tank grabs my arm.  “Man let’s try and do this right.  We all knew this was Vera’s doings.” 

Slowly pulling my gun away I wave it for him to lead the way.  And he does.  Tank, Viper, myself and about 6 other men from other clubs follow us into the compound.  We are outnumbered inside but I don’t feel like anything will happen.  They know they could kill all of us within seconds but they would be wiped out right after by the hundreds of men outside.    We walk down several hall ways and a flight of stairs before we come to an end.  Opening the door, I can smell blood.  I also can see it on the walls and in a pool on the floor.  I turn to Tank who is standing stalk still looking white as a ghost.  Slowly walking into the room.  Once I turn the corner everything starts to go in slow motion.  I have no idea how many people are in this room.  Because all I see is Haylee tied up by her hands slumped over naked.  Blood covering every inch of her body.  Clearly she has been beaten, cut and I even think I see burns on her legs.  But everything stops and I see red when I see the amount of blood that is between her legs.  Pooling between her feet.  I don’t even know when it happened but before I know what is going on I lift my gun and shot every man standing in this room dead.  Including Jimmy.  Once all men are dead it just leaves my boys, my badly beating Haylee and that skanky bitch who is cowering in the corner.  I ignore the skanky bitch since Tank already is grabbing her and taking her out of the ware house.  I slowly walk over to Haylee.  I don’t know if she is dead or alive.  Shakely I say her name “Haylee.”  But she doesn’t move.  Falling to my knees I begin to cry.  I didn’t make it in time. This is all my fault.  I grab a hold of her around the waist and lean my head on her stomach.  But instantly fall back when her body begins to jerk. 

She screams “Don’t fucking touch me.” Her voice is so horse she almost sounds like a guy but I don’t care.  She is alive.  Viper and I rush up to her hands and cut her out of her hold.  She slumps down onto my chest.  She begins to fight me.  She can’t open her eyes to see me. They are swollen shut.  I begin to kiss the side of her face and get up against her left ear and say “It’s Toni.”  But nothing happens.  She continues to fight me. I move to the right ear and say “Baby it’s Toni I have you.” And instantly the fighting stops. 

Quietly she says “My Toni”

I squeeze her tightly and hold her to my chest “Yes Haylee.  Your Toni.  I am here baby.  You are safe.” 

She tries to smile but winces from the pain.  Her lips are so torn apart and bloody.  “I told that fucker you would come get me.  See I won.”  That is the last thing she says because after that she faints in my arms.  Viper finds something to wrap her up in and I carry her out of the compound.  Tank is dragging Vera behind.  He knows she is mine to deal with. And I will deal with her.  But first I have to make sure Haylee is safe and ok.

Once outside Tank throws Vera into a trunk and that car speeds off.  I take Haylee to one of our vans and as we start to head out I hear Tank yell “Blow this fucking place up.”  I don’t know exactly what happens there but I do hear a hail of gun fire and feel like vengeance has finally started.  Yeah might not be the best thing to do.  You know go and kill an entire compound owned by the cartel.  But this will send a message.  We will not stand around and let you get away with shit like this.  But right now nothing else matter. I have my Haylee in my arms.  I have my Haylee.

HAYLEE

God what the hell happened to me. I feel like I have been hit by a damn semi-truck.  I think ever bone in my body is broken.  Or at least it feels like it is.  And I can’t hear out of my left ear.  Well that sucks.  I don’t know where I am but I do know I am not hanging by my hands anymore.  I am actually on a bed.  A really comfortable bed.  Slowly I begin to take assessment of my body.  I can move my toes, I can feel my legs that is for sure.  They fucking hurt.  I can move my fingers but can’t really move my arms.  I know I have feeling in my arms but they are bound by something to heavy right now to move.  And I can hear out of my right ear but not my left. I can hear Monica.  Turning my head towards the way I think her voice is coming from. 

“Haylee.  Oh my god did you just move.  Can you hear me.”  She says as she grabs my hand.  I squeeze her hand lightly but before I can do anymore she pulls her hand away.  I faintly hear her yell but I can’t make out what she saying. 

In a matter of seconds, I feel something strong grab my hand and squeeze it lightly. “Haylee it’s me. Toni.  Wake up baby.  Please wake up.” 

I squeeze his hand lightly. I can hear the pain in his voice.  I tried to speak but my throat is so dry it hurts to speak and I groan. 

“Come on baby.  Open those beautiful eyes for me.  God Haylee please open your eyes.” Slowly.  And I mean very slowly I open my eyes.  Moaning in pain from the light.  But I continue to open my eyes.  Looking up I stare into the darkest eyes ever.  “Oh my god baby you are awake.  Thank god.  I have missed you so much Haylee.”  Toni says planting kisses all along my face.

“Don’t smother the girl.”  I hear Monica say and grab Toni on the arm. 

“Oh damn.  Sorry.  God Haylee I am just glad your awake.”  He says with tears in his eyes.

“Where am I?”  I am finally able to ask. My voice sounds like an old man but at least I can speak. 

“You’re at the hospital babe.” Toni says softly.

Of course I am.  Duh Haylee.  Vera Beat the shit out of me of course I am in the hospital.  Eyes wide opened I look at Toni, panic starting to set in and I say “Vera.” 

“SHHH babe.  You don’t have to worry about her. You are safe.”  I nod in agreement.  At least that is a relieve. “Babe do you remember anything that happened.”  Toni asks.  I know he is trying to be strong but the concern that is written all over his face doesn’t go unnoticed.

As much as I wish I didn’t I am pretty sure I remember all of it. Closing my eyes, I shake my head yes. 

“How much do you remember.”  Monica asks softly.  I can hear the pain and worry in her voice as well.  I love how strong both of them are trying to be but they really are failing miserably.

Clearing my throat, I say “All of it.”  Turning to look Toni in the eyes.  I know I have to tell him devastating news.  I don’t want to break his heart like this but I have to tell him. “Toni.  While you were gone I found out I was pregnant.  But I am pretty sure I lost it.  Vera hit me so hard in the stomach.  So hard over and over so many times.  And there was so much blood that ran down my legs I am pretty sure I miscarried during the beating.”  I say with tears in my eyes.

Toni nods his head in agreement.  Leaning down so his head rest against my forehead.  “When I brought you in they did a full examine on you.  They told me that your blood showed signs you were pregnant but when they did an ultrasound there was no baby.  I am so sorry baby.”

“That bitch.”  I squeeze my eyes shut.  I hope she had a painful slow death. Opening my eyes filled with tears “I am so sorry Toni.  I am so sorry.” 

“SSSHH baby.  I am so sorry.  So sorry we lost our baby.  But Haylee we will have another baby. The doctor checked you out.  You can still have babies. You are perfectly fine.”

“That’s why Monica had Emma.  I was going to the doctor to get it confirmed. Oh god where is Emma.  How is Emma.” I start to freak out a little. Trying to sit up and find my baby girl.  My baby girl.

“Baby.”  Toni says while lightly grabbing my face with his hands. “Baby calm down.  Emma is safe and secure. She hasn’t left the club house since this all started.  Trust me.  She is fine.” 

“That is what Vera came for.  She wasn’t looking for me.  She wanted Emma.”  I say to Toni between sobs.  All this is too much.

“It’s ok baby.  She didn’t get her and she won’t get her.  Emma is safe.  As are you.”  He says leaning down to give me a kiss.  

God I feel like I have been laying in this bed for years. “How long have I been in the hospital?”  Toni and Monica share a look that tells me I have been here a very long time. “Just tell me.”

Monica comes up grabbing my other hand. “You have been here for a little over 3 weeks.” 

All the breath leaves me “Holy shit.  That long.” 

“Yeah babe.  The docs said everything is healing as it should.  They kept you in a coma for 2 weeks to let your body heal and then now we have just been waiting for you to wake up.  But babe you will be just fine.”
