Hot & Wild (De La Cruz Saga) (35 page)

“Si, I agree Carlos. The club is a little busier than
usual,” says Jose Enrique, looking for Jessy.

Hmm, I wonder if it has been too long or it is just me
getting anxious
, thinks Jose Enrique,
taking another drink of his Corona.

Paty applies her lipstick. The little room is getting
full and Bella starts to fix her long pelo and lipstick. “Prima, it’s getting
really full in the club tonight and I’m getting real dizzy. I’m stepping out to
get some fresh air,” says Bella.

“Si, prima, I will wait for Jessy and go get you when
we’re ready,” replies Paty, standing by the French doors to get some fresh air
while waiting for Jessy.

Finally, Jessy enters the room and starts to fix her
hair and applies lipstick. “I’m almost ready,” says Jessy, fixing her dress.  “Where
is Bella?”

“Bella wanted some fresh air and walked out to the
garden. I told her that we will get her when we were done,” says Paty, walking
out into the garden from the French doors. Jessy follows close.

“Yeah, this is wonderful,” says Jessy, following Paty.
“It smells lovely. I have never been in the garden before. No wonder Jacki and
Ricky feel in love out here under the stars.”

“Si, Jessy, it’s real nice. I have not been out in the
garden before,” replies Paty, turning the corner to see if she could see Bella.
“Bella,” calls out Paty. She looks at the benches that are under the trees.

Jessy is right behind her, looking for Bella, turns to
look the other way to see if she could see her.

Paty and Jessy didn’t feel a thing. They were knocked
out fast and efficiently. They never knew what happened.

Two large hombres dressed all in black and wearing
black ski masks struck them over the head. They quickly picked Jessy and Paty
up. They handled them like rag dolls that weighed no more than ten pounds. They
moved quickly and quietly because they know that in a few more minutes their
hombres will be looking for them.

The two large hombres didn’t say a word and nobody
noticed them. They enter into the waiting black SUV that quickly transports
them to a building located in the down town area a few miles away from the
night club.

The driver exits the SUV and quickly gathers Bella in
his arms. The other two hombres take Paty and Jessy. They enter the thirty
floor building.

They’re anxious to get to the roof top where the
helicopter is waiting. Moving quickly and quietly they enter the elevator to
reach the roof top. They cover the camera in the elevator with some black spray
paint.

Finally, after a few minutes, the three hombres
reached the roof top, and exit the elevator.

The helicopter is ready to leave and waiting for los
hombres to carry Bella, Paty, and Jessy onto the helicopter.

The mujers are still out. They don’t realize that
they’re being taken out of the country and out of their hombre’s arms.

One of the hombres pulls out his cell phone and
quickly calls his commander. “Mextli, we have the cargo,” says Jamie el Mextli’s
right hand hombre.

“
Bien
,” says El Mextli, ending the call,
resting. He leans into his sofa grinning. He takes a drink of his tequila.
This
has worked out magnificently. Now I have la familia De La Cruz en mis manos
,
thinks El Mextli, with glee.

Jamie makes another call to one of his hombres who’s
waiting in the club. “Prieto, deliver the package,” says Jamie, looking at his
watch.
Yeah, everything is working out on schedule.

“
Hecho
(done),” says Prieto, walking to the
waiter to have the message delivered.

Jamie turns around to look at the
tres
hermosa mujers.
I know that their hombres are going to be ready to kill,
thinks Jamie,
looking at each one with care.
Si, they are
immensely hermosas and I want to get them locked up before these guey’s abuse
them
.

Jamie turns to look at each guey and warns them about
touching the cargo.
I just can’t stomach to have a mujer abused and much
less these mujeres that are truly queens
, thinks Jamie.
We should be
there in a few more minutes and I pray that El Mextli will not want to abuse
them. I know that he just started his dominance over the Baja California and
wants to demonstrate how vicious and ruthless he is
.

The other Cartel that is located in Central of Mexico
has the other prima. She is actually a FBI agent and that’s incredible that
they managed to take her.

The United States government agencies are on high
alert. I can imagine this getting even worse when the shit hits the fan esta
noche. When the De La Cruz familia realize that we have taken three more of
their mujers
.

Gregory stands to look over in the direction of the
bano, wondering what’s taking them so long. He turns to look at Jose Enrique
and Carlos with raised eyebrows. “It’s taken a little too long for me,” says
Gregory, staring at them. He waits for their response.

“Si, I was thinking the same,” replies Jose Enrique,
taking a drink of his Corona, standing along with Carlos.

“I don’t like this,” says Carlos, starting to feel an
ache in his corazon. He strides quickly in the direction of the bano. I
wonder
if I’m over reacting. Las mujeres almost always take some sweet time in the
bano
, thinks Carlos rapidly. He starts to feel anxious.  

“Shit!” says Carlos.
I need to find Paty now,
before I have a heart attack with this immense fear that’s taking over my body
,
thinks Carlos, almost running.

“Wait up!” yells Gregory, following close on Carlos
heels.
This is not good. I can feel that something is happening to my Bella
,
thinks Gregory. His corazon starts to beat faster and harder, feeling as if
it’s going to burst out of his chest.

“Guey, I’m not feeling well,” says Jose Enrique, when
he arrives right behind Carlos and Gregory, trying to control his breathing.

Hmm, I feel my corazon aching, as if a fist is
squeezing it real tight. I can’t breathe,
thinks Jose Enrique, leaning forward trying to relax.

“I’ll get a chica to go in and look for them,” says
Carlos, approaching a chica that’s sitting near the bano.

“Excuse me, can you please go into the bano and ask
for my esposa,” asks Carlos, smiling, trying to look nice.

La chica looks at Carlos and smiles nodding her head. “Si,
I can, what is your esposa’s name?” she asks, standing.

“Paty, and muchas gracias,” says Carlos with relief,
giving the chica some money for her effort.

“No, es nada (it’s nothing),” says the chica, smiling.
She doesn’t want to take the money. “I’ll be back,” she goes into the bano.

She asks the two mujers that were there if they were
Paty. They said no and the other area was empty. The chica walks back out and
informs Carlos. “Sorry there was only two mujeres in the bano.”

Carlos’ corazon starts to pound harder, making it hard
to breathe. He thanks the chica. “Gracias,” he turns to go and tell Jose
Enrique and Greg.

“No, they were not in el bano,” says Carlos, taking
deep breaths. “We need to get security to assist us in searching for them in
the club.”

“Si,” agrees Greg, starting to turn to locate where
the security is.

A waiter approaches Jose Enrique with a Corona and a
note. “Señor De La Cruz?” asks the waiter, waiting for a response from Jose
Enrique.

Jose Enrique looks at the waiter and the Corona.
What
in the hell is this.
“Si
,
soy
De La Cruz,” replies Jose Enrique,
waiting for the waiter to enlighten him.

“Si, this Corona was sent over by the
caballero
at the bar with this note,” says the waiter, turning to indicate which hombre
sent the Corona and note.

The waiter couldn’t see the caballero. He turns to
Jose Enrique with a small unsure smile. “The Caballero is not there anymore,” he
hands over the tray to Jose Enrique.

Jose Enrique looks at the bar and could not see any
caballero. He starts to get really anxious. He looks at Gregory and Carlos, who
are indicating to take the note.

“Jose Enrique, read the damn note!” says Carlos, with
frustration and anxiety.

Gregory is scared and anxious. He knows that something
awful has happened to his Baby. He quickly starts to ask the waiter questions
on what the guey looks like.

“Tell us how this guey looks like,” demands Greg, with
controlled fury.

The waiter is getting scared by how menacing they look.
“He was tall, dark and looked mean,” replies the waiter, starting to back away
from them.

“Did you ever see him in the club before?” asks Greg,
watching the waiter real close. “How long have you worked here?”

“Si, I have worked here for over dos anos and no, I
never seen that hombre before,” answers the waiter, starting to get pale.

Este hombre looks ready to kill me and I don’t know
what’s going on
, thinks the waiter. “Señor,
the hombre asked me to bring Señor De La Cruz the Corona and
nota
.”

Gregory can see that the waiter is starting to get
scared.
It’s very likely that he didn’t know or has ever seen the guey
,
thinks Gregory. “I need you to provide us your full name and number,” demands
Greg in an authoritative voice. Gregory wants to have the Intel in case they
need to talk to him again.

“Si,” replies the waiter, scared and anxious to get
away from Greg.
These hombres are real
enojado
and I don’t
know why
, thinks the waiter, starting to sweat.

“Jose Enrique, tell us what the damn nota
dice
!”
demands Carlos, with frustration looking at Jose Enrique grow pale and scared.

Jose Enrique looks up with fear and anger in his eyes.
“They took our mujers!” shouts Jose Enrique, in horror, frustration and rage
while looking around to see if he can see the guey that sent him the note.

Carlos takes the nota away from Jose Enrique’s hand in
frustration, not understanding what he meant. He reads the note aloud so Greg
can hear.

“De La Cruz, we have your tesoros and you will get
them back when you agree to work with El Mextli el Rey de Baja California.”

Carlos let out an anguished yell almost falling to his
knees with the intense pain that he feels when he realizes that the Cartel has
his Baby.

Gregory turns and smashes his fist into the wall
yelling out in pain not believing that his Bella is in the ruthless hands of
the Cartel.

He’s shaking with rage, looking for the waiter and
going to him. “You will give me all the details that you can remember, now!”
demands Greg in a forceful and angry voice, pulling the waiter outside to get
all the details.

Carlos follows Gregory, pulling Jose Enrique along to
hear all the details.

“Now, tell us everything that you can remember about
the guey that gave you that note,” demands Greg with fury, trying to not take
out his anger and frustration on the waiter.

“I told you that it was the first time that I saw him
in the club. He was tall, dark and was wearing black shirt and pants. He has
straight long black hair to his shoulders and has a tattoo on his left forearm
that looks like an Azteca Indian,” replies the waiter, trembling with fear.

The waiter looks at the three strong, tall, intense
looking hombres. He’s scared for his life.
It looks like someone is playing
with these hombres and I don’t want anything to do with it. Dios mio, help me,
I don’t know what’s going on,
contemplates the waiter.

“Okay, but you better be available if I need any
additional information. Here’s my number if you see the guey in here, if you
recall anything, anything at all!” growls Greg, looking at the waiter
memorizing his face. “Don’t try to hide because I will find you.”

“Si,” answers the waiter, trembling. He’s ready to run
back to work before they change their minds and start punching him.

“You better not disappear because we will find you!”
says Carlos, looking at the license that he withdrew from the waiter’s wallet,
handing it over to Gregory to write down his information.

“No, I will be available,” says the waiter, waiting
for his wallet.

“Here,” says Gregory, shoving his wallet back to him
and pushing him forward onto the path to the club.
