~Dalton~
On that Tuesday night at the party, I had planned to tell Kathryn how I felt about her.The day came once in a year and it was very important to me. Everyone had already started arriving. almost the entire compass.late on before I had lost my faith in seeing Kathryn arrive, I glanced at her groomed in a very short black dress.She reached inside with James passing by me to a chair.Alex and Mathew had there own plans about some other girl they wouldn't mention so I hardly saw them at the start. And when the night grew a little older, i found myself hanging out with them.Everyone had already started drinking though i had decided to stay sober for my supposed interests. I had my eyes on Kat all night and I also couldn't help notice that Alex and Mathew too were smirking secretly about her.when the dance started, the boys rounded for a shots game where your dared to do something and if not, you get to drink a very strong cocktail.~Kathryn~It was already two months at my job working with Dalton. He through was surprisingly a very good boss.Respected each and everyone. Never had he yet carried out any stingy stuff to undermine others and more so me.I in particular received lots of attention from him making it clear that he wanted something more than work mates.Believing that I deserved to try out a relationship with someone, if ever he confronted me with such intentions, I was to agree and try it out with him.We hadn't heard of Angela for a while. She wasn't calling the house anymore neither writing to us. Only a month earlier when she appeared on a TV interview that we last saw her.I believed that she was doing great and very fine over in France and I should think of starting a life here in the USA.On one of the days with in the two months, it was accurately a Saturday at eight thirty pm when Dalton appeared at my house door.My parent's house had turned out to b
Los Angeles: "We can't afford to miss her this time. Do you hear me?" Detective Wallace instructed his team with unwavering determination. "Yes, sir," came the unified response, echoing their commitment to the mission. A squad of soldiers stealthily approached the warehouse door, underscoring the gravity of the operation led by Detectives Diana and Wallace. Abruptly, Wallace's phone vibrated, injecting a moment of suspense into the intense atmosphere. Retrieving it from his pocket, he answered and whispered to Lieutenant Rivera, motioning for Diana to proceed with breaching the door. "I'm in the middle of an operation, Lieutenant Rivera." "The hashish has been taken from the storage, Detective," Rivera reported through the phone. "And the cocaine too," added another officer on the line. Diana's voice echoed from inside the warehouse, "There's nothing here, no one!" Wallace turned off his phone, entering the room. "She played us again," Wallace growled in frustration. "Your inf

Several hours later. USA. Camillo descended the jet stairs, a smirk on his face, greeted by Thalia's radiant smile. "Great to have you in my arms," she sighed, hugging Camilo tightly. "How was your flight?" "Weird but okay. I'm so tired. All I need is to get home and rest." He headed into the car with Thalia behind him. "I will have to apologize, but you might not have that much of a rest. We are heading to Mexico." Thalia fastened her seatbelt. "Well, I would give anything to be in Mexico for a short while. I mean, apologize? It's quite the best news I've had today after the weird disappearance of George." "Well, don't worry about George. He is alright. I just asked him to run an errand for me, that's all. Julian, please let's head to the house. Brian is waiting." "I haven't seen Brian in ages. I really miss my big brother." Camilo took out his phone from a bag. "He as well can't wait to see you. He is always excited with you, but with me, he is just a serious employee." Jul
"Good morning," greeted Camilo and Brian as they walked into Gabriella's bedroom with a tray of milk. "You two had a lovely night, didn't you?" chuckled Camilo at the ladies who still lay asleep in each other's arms. "Come give me a hug, you two boys," beckoned Gabriella, getting upright to Camilo who ran in first. "And I wasn't missed, was I?" smirked Thalia at Camilo. "Obviously, you were," replied Camilo. "Then I deserve one, don't I?" insinuated Thalia as Camilo went in to give her one. "Okay, I'm happy to have you all boys here, and your mother. Let's enjoy this week and work as well. Brian, you need to get everything ready, son." "Wait, love," snapped Gaby at Thalia, who was still chatting. "I haven't seen you for the longest, all of you, and I think before we talk about business and everything, let me just enjoy a few or an hour with you guys. Breakfast at the table like we used to." "I think mom is right, Mother. We should have space from everything," elaborated Camilo. "
"For how long will it be? I'm really going to miss you. So much," stated Thalia, holding hands with Gaby as they walked through the coffee field. "I don't know. A couple of months. As long as we manage to get what I want. All will be good," responded Gaby. "Look, I've made that place very secure for you. A few guards will always keep an eye on you. I have a couple of ladies inside as well. I did just the same for Canta." "Oh! About Canta, he recently asked me if I can let him take a couple of months off after this mission." "And what did you tell him?" questioned Thalia. "Of course, I said yes. Why wouldn't I? He's been very good at his job. I would love to appreciate him as well." "People like him don't get vacation, honey. People like Canta can only be ready to shoot when needed. People like us don't give vacation offers. It's like risking our lives," Thalia explained, granting her hand to hold onto Gaby. "You know very well that I don't agree with your way of thinking. I will
"I couldn't believe my eyes. It was beautiful. I loved everything," Thalia exclaimed as they headed to the main house, with the boys accompanying them. "I could tell from your eyes. Just like the way they tell me right now that you want to be with me today and the next, but you're anxious because you can't stop thinking about work and the mission," noted Gaby, perceptive and composed. "I'm so sorry. You know how I get when you're involved. Every time I deviate from the plan, it feels like I'm risking you." "You know one thing I've learned from you is that I will always know who I want to get back to. Who I will always keep living for." "Can we talk about the mission then?" Thalia inquired. "Sure," replied Gaby. Thalia gestured to Brian to bring the package to the house. They all settled in the sitting room, ready for what was to come. In about ten minutes, Brian returned with a fine lady who looked exactly like Gaby. She seated herself next to Thalia, greeting them all politely,
Seated comfortably, Thalia initiated a conversation with her team, who, with skeptical expressions, wondered about her unexpected presence. Unfazed, she smiled and eased into the moment. "I wouldn't mind reintroducing myself," she remarked. "I'm Thalia Sanroman—your new boss. Specifically, your new boss in the realm of drug trafficking." "This has to be a joke," David protested. "Not to me. You've all passed the test excellently. Well, George passed excellently, about average. As I was saying, we have a mission at hand. Gabriela and I collaborate, in a way. She's the boss, as you know, and she needed a team to stay. Her trusted ones are accompanying her on a mission, and you guys came to my mind." "Can we be done with this, please?" muttered Daniela. "Oh, Rivera, please." Rivera approached, releasing them from the cuffs and chains that had restrained each of them. George, though, appeared more distressed than the others, and David glared at Thalia, clearly irritated by her antics
