"Ya tenemos a los dos zetas en el sotano" Joel's cold voice came out of the black walkie-talkie that Santiago had been carrying around with him lately. "We're waiting for you." (We have the two Zetas in the basement.)
We were hanging out with Mike and Claire in the living room when the news from Joel came in through the walkie. Which meant Joel and Chamuco were already back from their mission, they had captured the two men working for Hector.
"Glad to hear you're back." Santiago pressed the button while he spoke into the tiny speaker. "I'm on my way..."
"Torturing them for information?" Mike's eyes sparkled evilly.
Santi nodded. "It's the only way I can find out what the hell Hector is planning to do."
"I'm coming with you, man!"
Claire rolled her eyes at her husbands childlike behavior but didn't seem surprised that he was acting like this when the lives of two men were at risk. She was used to it.
"Can I tag along?" I looked up at my boyfriend. My request seemed to have caught him off guard and he looked at me uneasily. "I don't know--"
"I promise I'll be quiet, I won't get in the way!"
"I'm not sure you're prepared to see something like this..."
"She's gotta start somewhere Santi" Claire backed me up and I smiled at her. "She can handle it."
Santiago didn't speak a word, he simply held out his hand for me to take and pulled me along with him. Mike followed behind us looking like a kid going to a candy store.
"You coming with us babe?" Mike asked his wife.
"Nah" she shook her head and raised her alcoholic drink. "I'll just finish my drink and wait for you all to come back."
Santiago lead the way to the back rooms of the mansion where most of the servants rooms were located, at the end of the hallway there was a black door that was kept locked.
I hadn't bothered before to ask why it was kept that way....but now I understood why.
Santiago pulled out a set of keys and opened the door, ushering us in behind him and locking the door after it was closed again. I could hear the loud cries and hisses of two men but it was too dark to make out anything in the room. He carefully helped me down a set of stairs and as we walked ahead I noticed a group of men standing in a large room that was illuminated by a single light bulb in the ceiling.
Chamuco was there and he was standing next to the two hostages who were tied down to some chairs looking up angrily at Joel who had his back to us.
"Buen trabajo hermanito. Ya veo que lograste capturar a los dos zetitas." Santiago's authoritative voice echoed around the room. (Good job little bro. I see you managed to capture the two Zetas.)
Joel laughed and turned to his brother. "They haven't said a thing bro. But now that you're here I hope they realize we're not fucking around."
I turned to look at Chamuco and raised my eyebrows to the two Bustamante brothers.
Chamuco smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
The only time Santiago and Joel seem to get along with each other is when they have to face the cartel enemies? Figures.
"You heard my brother." Santi said coolly, while pulling out a black gun from his waist-band. "Either you tell us what that pendejo,Hector plans to do and how he knows all our inside information or we kill both of you."
The older guy being tied down laughed loudly and looked at my boyfriend square in the eye. His face was dirty with dried up blood, probably from the beatings he had already received. "Ya le dije a tu hermano, Santiaguito. Nosotros no vamos a traicionar a Hector! Aunque ustedes nos dejen ir despues de que les diga todo...que francamente dudo que lo hagan... Somos hombres muertos! Hector nos va a matar de cualquier forma. MATANOS! NO NOS IMPORTA!" (I already told your brother, Santiaguito. We're not going to betray Hector! If you decided to let us go....which quite frankly, I doubt you will...We're already dead men! Hector will kill us either way. KILL US! WE DON'T CARE!)
Santiago pulled the trigger and I flinched at the sound of the bullet.
The old guy screamed in pain and I opened my eyes to see Santi had aimed for his leg. He hadn't killed him but the guy was bleeding a lot, soaking his jeans in blood.
"TALK YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Joel pulled his head back by the hair.
"You really want me to tell your brother what you've been doing behind his back, Joel?" The man smirked at him.
"What is he talking about?" Santi pointed the gun at his brother.
"Santiago! HE'S LYING!" Joel yelled at his brother, unglazed by the fact he had a gun pointed at him. "You can't believe the enemy."
"Santi...." Mike spoke up. "You can't jump to conclusions. He's your brother, put the gun down." He said, for the first time being reasonable about what was going on around him.
"Santiago put the gun down." I placed my hand on his shoulder.
Yes, I hate Joel and I've always thought there's something sketchy about everything he does but there's no proof the he's the traitor of the cartel. It would kill Don Ernesto if Santi did anything to his brother.
Santiago shook his head and slowly put the gun down. The old man saw everything which made him laugh even more.
"So this is the bitch Hector was telling me about? Gabriela Romano right? She's got you wrapped around her finger Santi. Es una pinche puta!" (She's a fucking whore!)
Another shot was heard around the room. This time Santi had shot the other leg. The man hissed out in pain.
"Watch your mouth you son of a bitch! I won't let you disrespect my girl."
"Cut the crap, Moises!" Joel growled at the old man. "Tell us what Hector is planning."
"I won't betray my boss." He said with pride, he then turned to smirk at me. "Pero algo si me dijo reinita. Te va a llevar con el y te va a cojer como la puta que eres." (But he did tell me something my queen. He's goanna take you with him and he's going to fuck you like the whore you are.)
I stared back at him in disgust and horror but before I could tell him he could go fuck himself, another shot rang around the room and there was a large bloody bullet hole on his forehead.
Old creepy man was dead.
Santi tucked the gun back behind his back and put an arm around my waist. "Get rid of the body."
"What about this guy?" Joel pointed at the other hostage that was passed out in the other chair.
"Kill him and get rid of any evidence."
"Vamonos, mi amor." Santi kissed my forehead and pulled me along with him. (Let's go, my love.)
We walked up the stairs another gun shot was heard but I didn't' dare look back at the sight behind me.
******
"He was a tough motherfucker" Mike finished telling his wife about what happened in the basement.
"What are you going to do now Santi?" Claire asked my boyfriend. "Those two guys were the only hope you had of finding out what Hector is planning."
Santi took a sip from his drink and smiled at his friend. "I'm not too worried about it. I have the biggest cartel, I have more people, more money and more weapons. Hector ain't got nothing on us."
"Conceited much?" I laughed at him.
"Just stating the truth." He pecked me on the cheek.
"You guys are so cute!!!!" Claire gushed looking at us in admiration. "You have to marry her Santiago. This is the only girl I approve of and there isn't anyone better than her."
" I couldn't agree with you more." Santi said, shocking not only me but also his friend Mike who seemed surprised to see his friend so open about his feelings.
"You are so whipped man" Mike shook his head.
"I'm not the only one though. You should see Leo and Daniel..."
"I can't wait to meet your friends Vanessa and Sofia. When are they coming back?" Claire's asked us.
" I already ordered Leo to come back so he'll be here tonight and Daniel is already flying back from Monterrey, Nuevo León. They'll be here tomorrow morning."
"You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like and we have a guest room available for you already." I said to my new friends.
I would love for them to stay and meet the rest of the girls. It had been a long time since we interacted with anyone besides the people in the mansion and I was sure my friends would love Claire and Mike.
"We can stay longer, right babe?" Claire clinged to Mike's arm.
He sighed. "You're lucky I don't have any important business to take care of back home. We can stay a few more days."
"Daniel found out a few stuff. We'll need your help coming up with a plan to defeat those assholes once and for all." Santiago said to Mike.
"Count me in Santi. I don't mind a little action."
Short Chapter but this is the last "Normal" chapter, because the war between cartels is about to break out! ACTION and that special night we've all been waiting for between Santiago and Gaby. BE EXCITED!
New video of Gerardo Ortiz to the side. If only it were Eugenio Siller in the video with Gerardo who I imagine as Santiago. But the guy in the video is Rafael Amaya who is a drug lord in the telenovela El Senor de Los Cielos. Check it out :D
