The streets were crowded that day, it was San Lorenzo's Independence Day, there was food and music everywhere. Merchants on the streets shouting their sales while the musicians played their music loud for the people to dance and rejoice . There was a beauty to San Lorenzo that Arnold couldn't enjoy, his sole purpose for that trip was to find the truth about his parents and to bury them.

The man holding the knife was catching up to him. He extended his arm to snatch Arnold's backpack when suddenly, an eagle flying over them made a loud noise. Arnold looked up and saw the eagle, immediately he turned around, grabbed the man's arm and twisted it. While the man bend forward in pain, Arnold hit him hard with his knee on his stomach, causing the man to fall without air on the ground.

"EDUARDO, RUN THEIR AFTER US!!!" Yelled Arnold.

Eduardo ran with Arnold through the populated streets, as they looked back they saw three man after them. Arnold run faster than Eduardo, but he didn't know the town and made a wrong turned to a dead end street.

"NO! Now what!?!?" Arnold asked desperately when he saw the large wall at the end of the street.

"I think we lost them." Said Eduardo trying to catch his breath.

All of the sudden, the three man catch up to them. "ARNOLD WATCHED OUT!!!" yelled Eduardo has they were surrounded.

One of the man attacked Eduardo while the other two went after Arnold.

ARNOLD POV

In the middle of everything I began to think about Helga and about what I promised her. I was going back to her and I couldn't lose focus on what I was there to do. I couldn't be afraid and I was not going to back up. No matter who stood in my way.

One of the man went after Arnold, he responded by doing a high turning kick hitting the man directly on his face knocking me out. The second man pulled out a knife and threaten him. "GIVE US THE BACKPACK!!" Yelled the man.

"NO!!" Shouted Arnold.

"JUST HANG OVER THE JOURNAL!!" demanded the man.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY FATHER'S JOURNAL!!" He yelled furiously.

The man with the knife charged after him. Arnold kick his hand disarming him, then he did a fast reverse back quick throwing the man roughly against the ground.

The third man that was fighting Eduardo rushed towards Arnold and latched a belt around his neck from behind and began chocking him. While a woman who was spying on Arnold approached him with an evil smile and hit him hard on his stomach and pulled a knife to his face.

"Oh, too bad you're too cute but we need the journal handsome." Said the woman staring at Arnold.

"Just remember what the boss said!" Said the man who was chocking Arnold.

"I know, I'm just going to teach him a lesson first." Replied the woman, while putting the knife on his face and sliding her hand under his shirt to feel his chest.

Arnold's face was red trying to breathe as he was being strangled slowly.

"YOU'LL BE SORRY, BITCH!!" Yelled Helga has she jumped on the air kicking the woman on her side ribs throwing her violently on the floor.

The man who was chocking Arnold let him go and tried to strike Helga. She moved fast grabbed his arm and did a mid cartwheel wrapping her legs around his neck knocking him hard against the floor, dislocating his arm with the fall. "AAAHHH!!!" He yelled.

The man and the woman stood up and took off running along with the other two man.

Helga turned to look at Arnold who was on the floor barely conscious. She wrapped her arms around him and held his head up.

"Arnold, I'm here, please say something!"

He barely opened his eyes to meet hers.

HELGA POV (A few minutes prior)

I kept looking at my phone to see the exact location to where Arnold was. There was a lot of people on the streets and loud music with fireworks being used. In my head Arnold's mother kept saying You will find my son, he needs your strength, has much as you need him. I knew I had to find him, suddenly, I saw him, my football head he was running fast ahead of me, three more man were after him. No just like my dream, but this time I was not going to lose him. I run fast behind them, trying to move quickly between the multitude of people. I tripped, while running and lost his sight. CRAP! I lost him! I told myself, I looked at the phone again and followed the map to his location. I felt like time was running out. Something in my heart screamed HE NEEDS YOU NOW.

I made a quick turned in to a deserted street and there he was...he was being chocked, while a woman had a knife on his face and her hand on...OH NO, THAT SLUT!! I yelled has I rushed towards him and did a high jump kick like he taught me.

"Helga you're here" whispered Arnold trying to catch his breath.

"Breathe Football Head, I won't let anyone hurt you." said Helga touching his forehead.

Then Helga heard a noise coming from behind a large dumpster. She took off her light jacket and place it under Arnold head as a pillow while he regain strength to get up.

She stood up and walked quietly towards the dumpster, as she saw the man's face she kick him hard on the groin, grabbed his arm and twisted it. "ARRGH!!" Eduardo screamed in pain.

"Helga that's Eduardo!" Shouted Arnold.

Helga raise an eye brow. "Oh, sorry Eduardo" she let go of his arm and walked back to Arnold who was standing up slowly. She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him.

"Football head!! I'm so glad I got here on time. I missed you and love you and...WHY! did you left without me Arnoldo knowing what we talked about..."

"Helga, how..."

"Don't interrupt I'm not finished, you lie to me and than, you expected me to just wait on you to come home safe, imagine what could had happen, if I didn't come on time!?!? That bitch was about to..."

Arnold pressed his lips on her tenderly, while he grabbed her waist close to his body. Helga felt loosen on his lips, like every irritated thought in her mind disappeared. She breathe in his breath like sweet air to her lungs. She was dazzled in his arms.

ARNOLD POV

The moment I opened my eyes and saw my Helga, I felt safe. Everything about her made me feel better, her eyes, her touch, her voice. It felt like I was seeing her for the first time. My heart started beating out of control when I heard her. Helga you're here, I whispered. I was seeing her, but I wasn't sure if it was real or a beautiful dream... then I heard a yelp. I stood up to see Helga applying force on Eduardo. It's so fulfilling seeing her defend herself and how much she learned this past four years from all the defensive training I been teaching her. Helga that's Eduardo I told her. She turned to look at me with her eyes widened. She rushed towards me, as she embraced me, I felt my heart jumping out of my chest. She was my adrenaline, my sunshine, my world. Even if she was mad and complaining about how I lie to her she looked so, adorable. Her pink lips, yearning to be kiss and taste, and...that's when I pressed my lips on her. Her warm mouth shed all my fears away, I couldn't think of anything, but feeling her warm body pressed against mine. She was what I needed, she is everything I will ever need.

"Ahem..." Eduardo was clearing his through.

"I don't want to ruin the tender moment, but we better move on Amigos, we can't stay here." Said Eduardo looking at the young couple kissing.

The young blonds stirred up. "You're right Eduardo let's go!" Said Arnold.

"Wait let me grab my backpack, I left it on the floor...Now, what happen Football Head? Why were you being attack by those man!?"

"I'll tell you on the bus, now come on, we have to run!" Said Arnold as they rushed to the bus station.

A few blocks away, the three man and woman that attacked Arnold were gather in an abandoned warehouse.

"Ahh...I think I lost a tooth!" Said the first man who attacked Arnold.

"What are you a child! Who cares about a tooth that perra girl almost fracture my ribs!" Shouted the woman.

"Oh shut up you too! That blond bitch, came out of no where and dislocated my arm!!" Said the man who was chocking Arnold.

The second man laughed... "That's your own fault, you let a girl chingara your arm, that's what you get for letting that boy get away. The boss won't be happy."

The cell phone ringed...

Ring...ring...

Everyone looked at each other in disappointment.

"Hombres are such an ass cowards. I'll take the call." Said the woman picking up the cell.

"Bueno" - The woman answered the call.

"Muñeca is it done?" asked LaSombra.

"No boss, the boy is stronger than we thought...and than, when we finally had him, a girl showed up out of nowhere and...she almost fracture my ribs and dislocated Labarbie's arm." - the woman said

"A girl!?!?" -Yelled LaSombra upset on the phone.

"Si" - answered the woman

"Mmm... was the girl young and pretty?" - La sombra asked.

"Yeah I guess, she looked like she cared for him." - Said the woman, then she asked "What are you thinking boss?"

"We may just use her to our advantage, she may be the soft spot, we need to sque-eze to get to the boy."- LaSombra said in low tone.

"Squeeze? Oh Si, buena idea, good idea." - the woman said.

"Besides, I still have another extra card under my sleeve." - Said LaSombra laughing. "You know where to meet me muñeca, tell the others and why did you all took so long to answer my call!?!?"

"Estos hombres LaSombra, they were too afraid to answer you." - Said the woman.

"Once we meet I'll eliminate the weakest one. You did good muñeca, I have a reward for you, meet me at eight tonight." LaSombra hanged up.

The first man who attacked Arnold look nervous. "What did the boss said!?"

"Oh, that we meet tonight at the old place by eight." said the woman.

"Was he mad?" Someone asked.

She smiled "No, he wasn't, he wants us to meet up. We can't make him wait."

Across town in San Lorenzo's morgue facility Doctor Pedraza was seating on his desk writing on some paperwork, when someone knocked on his door.

"Come in" shouted the Doctor.

His secretary walked in with a large white envelope. "Here you go Doctor, this are the saliva results for Arnold Shortman."

The Doctor was surprised"Que! Already, I was not suppose to get them till two more days, at least. Maybe is that new system they're now using."

"Maybe it is Doctor, here you go."The secretary handed him the envelope and stepped outside.

The Doctor opened the envelope and read the results carefully. His eyes widened in shocked.

"Dios mío, this can't be right!!"
