Suddenly the lump in the bed growled and thrashed around trying to get out of the darkness of the blanket. El Tigre struggled to keep his hold on Frida's snout under the blanket. Rodolfo looked surprised and very slowly asked,
"Uh…m-Mijo…what is that?"
Manny put on the best innocent face he could muster.
"What is what father?"
"Right there, under the blanket. It's very large."
Before Manny could say anything Frida suddenly jerked her head sharply to the left throwing El Tigre to the floor along with the blanket and growled fiercely at the two men standing in the door. She charged them. Rodolfo and Grandpapi dove out of the way. They were mere inches from her drooling snout when El Tigre quickly slammed the door in Frida's face and locked it. Rodolfo looked at his son with full rage burning in his eyes and shouted:
"MANUEL PABLO GUTIERREZ O'BRIAN EQUIHUA RIVERA, ARE YOU LOCO?? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? DO YOU REALIZE THAT IS A WERE-WOLF, AND A BLUE ONE AT THAT? WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND YOU BRING IT HERE OF ALL PLACES. MANNY WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS."
Rodolfo pauses panting. El Tigre spun his belt backwards and looked up at his father with big, shiny, honey-brown eyes; got down on his knees, and pleaded for forgiveness.
"Please father, we have to keep her here. Sit down I'll tell you everything."
Grandpapi and Rodolfo sat on the couch while Manny told them how Frida became a blood thirsty were-wolf, of course leaving out the parts where Frida was almost nude each time she changed back, and how Santana Of The Dead had told the entire town about Frida and were out to destroy her. Rodolfo gasped at some of the parts of the story but Grandpapi just looked serious and nodded. After Manny finished Grandpapi sighed,
"Ah, it is as I feared, joo see Frida is half wolf. I was wondering when she would show her true powers."
Manny gasped, and then looked really confused.
"Whoa, how did you know that? What powers?"
"Eh, I do my research, oh and also Frida's dad (Emilio Suarez) used to be best amigos with Rodolfo."
Manny's eyes were so wide and his mouth hung open.
"SAY-WHAT-NOW?? B-but I thought he hated us. "
"Well Mijo, there is a perfectly good reason for that, you see when I was 13 I used to go over to Emilio's house every day and he would help me fight crimes; kinda like you and Frida; but one day, I asked him how he stood up to the villains so easily being just an average citizen. He showed me a light brown collar around his neck. When he twirled the dog tag he became El Lobo. He told me to keep this a secret from his girlfriend, who I might add was a very cute American girl."
"One day he was off fighting crime in another part of town, and I was talking to your mother on the phone when all of the sudden this crazy, huge, red, wolf just rushes past me not even caring that it was stepping on and squishing innocent citizens. Well you know me; I had to put a stop to it, so I followed it all the way to this giant building where giant crowds were forming a huge mass out side. The wolf had that hungry look in its cold ruby eyes. There was just no way was I going to let the wolf kill all those people so I leapt from the rooftop I was on and landed right in front of the crowd. The wolf growled at me and charged so I used my Pantera Power Punch Kick but it didn't seem to do any damage. Unfortunately that made the wolf angry so before I could move it was on top of me ripping my suit to shreds. The more I fought back the angrier the wolf got and the more it slashed my skin. I was bleeding so badly I used my pointed end of my Bronze boots of truth and jabbed it straight through its heart and killed it. After that I fainted from all the blood loss. When I came to I was in the hospital with Emilio giving me the death glare. I also saw that he had ditched his collar. He told me he ditched it so he wouldn't kill me for what I had done. At first I was confused but then he told me the wolf I had killed was his father. Before I could apologize, he ran from my room in tears and we never spoke again."
