“Nobody can touch her… you and your men will do anything and everything it takes to have and keep her safe; I do not want a single… tiny… scratch… on her…. do you understand?” I said seriously.

“Understood…” He said. “Is that guy with the cowboy hat with her?” He asked suddenly.

“That’s her personal guard… Smoky D; I’m with her…” I corrected him and he gave a sly grin.

“Wait; you mean… The Smoky D? The one… the one; well… the one that saved your dad’s ass??” He asked.

“So you’ve heard…” I said weakly.

“That guy is a legend… is it true that he only had two magnums and wiped out all the thirty four guys from the Triads; less than five minutes???”

“True as it can get…” I said. I’ve impressed him enough.

We made our ways out of the Club and I eyed Carmen; busily spinning away at her turntable. A mob of us got out of the club with eyes following us; wondering what the hell we’re doing here.

Me and Jenny walked Escobar and his guys to his black SUV; when I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me around. All of us reached in for our guns tucked inside of our waists. I turned and looked at who it was; same with the rest of us. In seconds all five guns pointed out and directly to Alice’s head; she quickly put her arms up and looked like she was about to faint.

“Alice…” I said. I motioned the rest to put down their guns; they did it slowly. Escobar was the only one still eager with the .42 in his hands. “Escobar; she’s with me…” I said to him and he gave me a fierce look. “It’s cool…” I said.

“Y-You know what… I’ll talk to you some other time; you guys seem a little pre-occupied… with… stuff…” She said; slowly walking backwards. I gave a look to Alice; saying I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare her that way.

I let out a sigh and turned back to the car. Me and Escobar were face to face for the night. “This is out first official meeting of many to come… Escobar…” I said.

“Well; I’ll look forward to it…” She said; I gave him a wicked smile and took a step closer to him; close enough so I could whisper in his ear. I thought maybe I should shook him up a little; tell him how deadly serious I am.

“If you thinking of fucking me up Escobar… I promise you; I will kill all that are related to you; all the Garcia’s and I will go back to your hometown back in Casitas Village; Puerto Rico… and kill them all as well… and trust me; I wont find this hard to do…” I said; I took steps backward to see his pale face.

“Are we clear…?” I asked him.

He nodded like a little kid and motioned his two men to get into the car. I waited next to the car as he started his engine; he rolled down his side window and raised his hand at me. “Next time I see you… I’ll have Mr. J. Kensington two front teeth in my hands and him right next to me begging for your mercy…” He said and finally drove off.

“I like him…” Jenny quipped in.

“Yeah… He’s something else…” I said and made my way back into The Planet.
