When We First Met
Chapter 11
Alberto Bello's men made it back to the street where they had prevoiusly started the fire but instead of pulling up at the now burnt house they pulled up at the house next door where they had seen boy and his mother come from earlier they got out of the van and headed for the door they drew their weapons and kicked down the door they entered the house and began searching room after room, when they got back to the living room they looked at each other and knew that they were going to be in shit with Alberto when they got back to his office.
Fran continued to drive towards Quantico when she heard Desiree say "Mamma can we stop please I need to use the bathroom" Fran noticed a sign on the side of the highway indicating that there was a gas station 3 miles ahead Fran said "ok sweetie, there is a gas station just up the road" Desi said "thanks Mamma" Carmen turned and looked into the back seat to where Penelope and Derek were sitting snuggled together Penelope had her head resting on Derek's chestand he had his arm wrapped around her shoulder holding her close to him when Carmen turned back around she couldn't help but smile, Fran caught Carmen smiling and whispered "what has you smiling like that" Carmen motioned with her head towards the back seat Fran looked in her rear vision mirror and saw what had Carmen smiling.
The goons headed for Alberto's office and they knew that all hell would break loose in just a few minutes when Alberto found out that both families were gone, goon number 2 knocked on the door and they waited for Alberto to tell them to come in and within a minute they heard "come in" slowly the two opened the door and entered the office Alberto stood there his arms across his chest and a cigar in his mouth he took a drag on his cigar before saying "is everything done properly this time" goon number 1 shook his head and said "when we got their boss the house was empty and the car gone we searched every room and it looks like they left in a hurry because drawers and closets were left open."
Alberto was furious he picked up the vase off his desk and threw it across the room to where his incapable men stood narrowly missing one of them he heard the vase hit the floor as it shattered into a million pieces before saying "Penelope Garcia is going to regret the day her step-father screwed me over boy will she regret it" the goons stood there quietly they were not game enough to speak knowing that Alberto was pissed enough already, Alberto pulled his gun out of the holster on his hip and pointed it at the men and said "I should shoot you incompetent bastards" and without warning he aims the barrel of his gun at the knee of one man and pulls the trigger he quickly turns and aims his gun at the foot of the second man and pulls the trigger.
Both men scream out in pain as they fall to the floor Alberto comes around from behind his desk and makes his way over to the men when he reaches them he kicks both of the areas where he had just shot both men and he said "NOW GET THE HELL OUTTA MY OFFICE AND FIND THAT BITCH" both men scrambled as well as they could to get to their feet and started to head for the door but Alberto stopped the and said "if you screw up this time I won't hesitate to put a bullet between your eyes" both men gasped before hobbling out of Alberto's office, when the two made it to the van they looked at each other before goon 1 said "how the hell are we supposed to find that little bitch she could be anywhere by now."
A few hours later the goons were still none the wiser on what they were going to do until goon 2 said "how about we go back to the neighbors and look through everything to see if we can find something that will help point us in the right direction and hopefully then we will be able to track her down and destroy the lot of them, Fran, Carmen and the kids had been driving along the highway for about 3 hours when Fran looked in the back seats she noticed that the 4 kids were asleep she decided that in a few hours she would pull off the highway and find them a hotel to stay at for the night it had been an eventful afternoon and it was going to be a very long couple of days until they could finally be settled in their new place in Quantico Virginia.
