N.B. : I owe nothing of NCIS .
I'd like to thank you for all your reviews ... sorry , but I'm new on this site so I've just found out how to read them ! LOL
Sorry if I updated chapter 11 many times , but I had to change some things to make it more balievable :)
I hope you'll enjoy this almost-relaxing chapter . I did it on purpose , because the next ones will be painful to read and rated to T , for some very disturbing scenes ...
" Regrets and ... "
chapter 12 .
Rivera parked in front of a small green house near the town's eastern border and went in , with his cousin Ernesto . Tony parked in the next street , out of their sight . Then , with Franks walked to the green house , but they hid behind a some trees , across the street .
"What do you think they're doing here , Probie ?" asked Mike .
Rolling his eyes Tony answered ,"I don't know , but I do not like that they're together . If they decide to stay here , we'll need a hotel not far from here ,".
In that moment , the two Mexicans went out of the house and , after greeting a young woman , they walked towards the town's centre .
Tony and Franks followed them from afar .
Alejandro and Morales went into a cantina and met some other men . Mike tried to went in too , but Tony stopped him .
"What are you doing ?" hissed the SFA , grabbing Mike's arm .
"We need to know what they're planning ," hissed the older man , angrly .
"Sadly Morales knows you and probably Rivera knows me , so ... we've got to stay here and wait ,"
"And when are you going to do somehing , Agent DiNozzo ?"asked the other man , more and more angrly .
"When I'll have enough intel about their plan and ..." . Mike opened his mouth , but Tony stopped him ,"And , most important , when I'll be sure that I can save your family without risking their lives ,"
"And how will you find out these intel , if we do not listen to what they're planning ?" asked Mike , sarcastically .
Tony grinned ,"The same way I got the job at NCIS ," . Mike raised his eyebrows and Tony added ,"With a smile ,"
"What ?"
"Stay here . Do not go in . If they go out , call me and follow them . But stay hidden ," ordered Tony and went away . Mike was speechless .
DiNozzo went back to his car and , when he finally saw the young girl in the little garden , parked and got out of the car .
"Perdon ," his asked , with one of his famous ultra-charming smile , holding a map in his hand .
"Si ?" asked her , going to the red railing .
He took off his sunglasses and smiled again . "Oh , Dios mio ! Que ojos !" * , she thought , sighing and blushing .
Pretending not to speak Spanish well , Tony said ,"Creo que ... how can I say it ? ... Perdido ? Si ?" he smiled , shyly .
"Americano ?" she smiled , kindly .
"No , Escosés ... yo ir a Guadalupe , pero ... ehm ..." , answered the man , impressioning Sean Connery .
"I speak English ," she smiled again . Tony thought ,"Nothing is better than a man in trouble ,"
"Really ? Great !"
"Speak slowly , please ,"
"Sure ... I'm here for a long trip and I'd like to visit the real Mexico , not the big cities ... comprende ?"
"Yes ,"
"Bueno ... oh , sorry ! I forgot the good manners ! I'm James Wallace ," he smiled , holding out this had ,"And you ?"
"Rosa Morales ," she answered , shaking his hand .
"Rosa ? Un dulce nombre para una dulce mujer ," he whispered . She blushed , swallowing ,"I was going to Guadalupe , but I think I took the wrong way ,"
"No , it is the right way ," she said , opening the little garden's gate and showing him it on the map .
"Oh , thank you very much ... gracias and ..."
"Si ?" she asked , hopefully . She didn't want him to go .
"Any advice for my trip ? I like this area ,"
"Oh , in Norte there is Victoria de Durango ... here ," she indicated on the map .
"And some wild area ?" he smiled .
"Oh , every ... everywhere , right word ?" she smiled . He nodded .
"I'm a photographer , so I like the wide landscapes ..." he lied .
"Landscapes ?"
"Yes , mountains , cactus , dry heart , sun ... comprende ?"
"Oh , si ... you find everything here , but ... " she stopped , thinking .
"Yes ?" he asked hopefully . "If Rivera & Co. want to hide something , they need a hidy-hole , afar from everything ," he thought .
"Mi hermano ... brother ... he goes to Abrego ... here ," she pointed on the map ,"He has a ... casa pequena , si ?" . He nodded ."There are mountains cactus and todos lo que quieres ... y coyote también !" she laughed .
"Really ? Perfecto ! Gracias ! You've been ... fantastica !" . She blushed again ."Is it far from here ?"
"No ... about 45 - 50 kilometros ,"
"Thank you very much and ... espero verte pronto ," he smiled , staring her with his emerald eyes .
"Yo tambien ," she whispered , swallowing .
"Goodbye ," said Tony getting into the car .
"Yo tambien " she sighed , looking him going away .
She didn't know that it'd have happened very soon ... but in completely different circumstaces ...
