Sitka:
What happened last night kept me awake, so I'm a little tired today. But anyway, life keeps going, I get to the station and the first person I cross is Brittany. She has a band on her nose because of the punch Rosario gave her, I think that she even broke it. Suddenly Mathews appears in front of me with a serious look on his face:
-Morning Leavey.
-Morning Sir.
-You have a moment on my office?
-Sure, what's going on?
-Come.
I follow him to his office, once in there he tells me to take a sit, then he speaks:
-Leavey, do you know why you're here?
-No, did I...do something wrong?
Then he shows me the screen of his computer.
-This video was taken yesterday on the security camera of the reception.
Oh fuck, Chayo why do you always get me into troubles?
-This meeting is not for what you think.
What?
-This subject was discussed with someone else, you can come in Fayolle.
Then I see that Esmeralda gets into the office.
-Fayolle explained to me your situation with Brittany yesterday.
-You know Sitka-Esmeralda-every new guy that has enter to this station...well, has sleep with Brittany. She seduces them or even threat them to...you know what. Telling them that if they don't do what she wants she will beat herself so everybody think that the guy had stalk her and rape her. This wasn't prove until yesterday when your sister defended you.
-So you just wanted to warning me about Brittany?
-When she caressed your shoulder yesterday-Mathews-I knew she putted her eye on you. And hey, your sister is very protective with you.
-Indeed.
Later
Esmeralda and I are doing our checking around the town, it's a beautifull day today. The sky is clear and there's a nice climax on the ambience, just that all the way we have been really quiet. Specially Esmeralda, she looks upset judging by the look on her face. I think I'll ask her what bothers her:
-You okay?
-Ah?
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-Really? Because you don't look like.
She just keeps quiet.
-Esmeralda can I ask you something?
-Like what?
-What happened between you and Brittany?
She slowly parks the car in front of a store, then answers my question:
-I started to date a guy, Phoebus de Châteaupers, we knew each other since we were kids. When Brittany put her nasty eye on him, she told him that...if he didn't leave me...she would pretend that Phoebus had stalk her and tryed to abuse her.-then tears start to come out from her eyes and her voice brakes- The worst was that...she forced him to sleep whith her and he even accepted! And when I knew the truth he had return to France.
Wow, I never imagine that Brittany could be so...evil. I put a hand on her shoulder to try to confort her.
-I'm sorry to hear that.
-It's okay-she says cleaning her eyes, but then my cheeks become red again when she squizes my hand. Damn it! Not this feeling again! Then she looks at me, her eyes are red and reflecting pain and sadness. Esmeralda looks at me looking for confort.
-Sitka
-Ye...Yeah?
-I think you're a nice guy, but, can you promise me...?
-What?
-What?
I put gently my hand on her cheek, she puts hers on mine, we start to slowly approach to each other, invaded by this instinct I approache to her lips, close my eyes and then-
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime You better
My ring tone brings us back to reallity, we quickly get separeated a little embarrased. Damn it Denahi!
-You're...not gonna answer?
-We're working, he knows that.
-Hey-then I look at Esmeralda, she gives me an honest smile- don't worry, I wont tell any one.
-Thanks, it wont be long.
Denahi if you call me for nothing important I'm gonna kill you, I take my phone, press the green button and then I put the speaker on:
-Hey little brother! What's up?
-Sitka?
-Hey Denahi!-Esmeralda
-Who's with you?
-I'm Esmeralda, your brother's partner, remember?
-Oh yeah! Hi, sorry, just...Koda give me my inhaler...thanks. (Denahi takes a dose) Sorry is just...
I can hear he has troubles to breath.
-Denahi are you okay?
-No, I mean yes but...
-But what, what happened?
-...Rosario has been stabbed.
-WHAT? WHEN? WHERE ARE YOU?
-Kenai on what hospital are we?...Eden's Hospital.
-I know where it is, is not far from here-Esmeralda.
-Okay Denahi we're on the way, see you at the hospital.
-Hurry up Sitka, she's dying!
Esmeralda drives the faster she can 'till we arrive at the hospital, we run to the reseption and at the distance I can see Denahi rising his arms. We run to him and we see that Kenai, Koda and Saya are with him. But their look scares the hell out of me: Denahi has his shirt ripped apart and on his chest he has a big cut in form of X wile Kenai looks like he got the beating of his life, his body is full of bruises, he has an eyebrow open, his lip cut and an eye is blue. Hopefully Koda seems to be in good conditions, thank God.
-Are you guys okay?
-Yeah-they say at the same time.
-Denahi where is Rosario?
-They took her to emergencies.
I don't waist time and run where Denahi told me, finally I get to the emergency room and...there she is. Unconscious, surrounded by doctors and nurses, I feel tears running through my face, I start to sob. No, this isn't happening, not to her, my little sister, no. Come on Rosario, you have to fight. Please don't go, we need you, I need you.
Koda:
Today Sitka is working at the police station but Denahi and Chayo have the day free, so Kenai and Denahi take me to take a walk through the town. It's a beautiful day, perfect to go out with your two big brothers.
When all the sudden, I see something weird: from the ground of the street comes out a dark smoke that grabs it self to an alley.
-Guys did you saw that?
-See what Koda?-Denahi
-The smoke
-What smoke?-Kenai
-The one that went to the alley.
Then I start to run where the smoke went ignoring the yells of my brothers. I get to the alley just to find out five men, at the time I turn to the corner I bump against one of them.
-Oh, sorry.
-Watch it kid, you don't know who you can face on the streets. Especially when you're alone.
I back up slowly at the same time he approaches to me, he's followed by the other men.
-Koda!
-Kenai!- I say turning around and then I run to him and Denahi.
-Hey boys, you should teach your little brother to be careful on the streets-says the man.
-My friend is right-says another-you don't know who can cross on your way.
-We don't want any troubles-Denahi-Come on guys, let's go.
But at the moment we turn around the other three surround us.
-Too bad for you-says a third man-because you are already in trouble.
I just feel Kenai keeping me close to him, I'm scared, I don't know if this men will do something to us.
-Let us go or I'm gonna start screaming-Kenai
Then the fourth man takes out from his pocket a switchblade and get it closer to Kenai. My brother puts me behind him and I hang on from his shirt.
-You were saying boy?-says the man.
-Leave him alone!-says Denahi at the same time he try's to take the switchblade from the man. But this one is faster and punch Denahi on the face knocking him out.
-DENAHI!-we scream.
But then a man takes me by the waist and lift me.
-KENAI!
-KODA!
But one man holds him by the arms wile another punches him on the face and then takes his legs. The other two men have done the same thing with Denahi.
-LET ME GO! LET ME GO!-I start to scream wile I try to get rid of this guy kicking the air.
This men take us to the alley, Denahi is submitted on the ground, one man is over him holding his arms. His partner approaches to Kenai that is hold by the same men, just that this time he's on his feet. The man hits Kenai between the legs with the knee and then punch him on the face making my brother hit the ground.
-KENAI!-I scream.
-KENAI!-Denahi
Then the three men start to punch and kick Kenai every where! Denahi and I just keep yelling the men to leave him alone, watching how Kenai gets the beating of his life wile those bastards keep laughing at him, insult him and even spit him. But all the sudden they stop martyring Kenai, my brother is laying on the ground tired and hurt. Then the guy that was before with Denahi gets back with his partner.
-You're next-he says to my brother taking out his switchblade.
-Fuck you!-Denahi.
The man that's over my brother puts him face up without releasing him. Denahi try's to get rid of him, but the switchblade man sits on his legs...very close to him!
-NO! DON'T TOUCH HIM!-I scream the loudest I can.
The switchblade man turns to see me with a malicious smile:
-Don't worry kid, I don't like men, neither I am a pedophile. What I'm going to do to your brother...is even better.
He turns to see Denahi, rips his shirt on two and...NO!
-What will you do to me? What are you doing?! (Denahi's asthma shows up)What...? No...no wait...AAAAAAAHHHHHH!
No! The man is making an X on my brother's chest with his switchblade!
-D...De...Denahi!-Kenai
-NO!
Denahi wears a short, so the man remarks he has a little scar on his leg, he lifts his short and then sees the scar from the accident. He also sees that the scar still fresh, so he makes pressure on it making my brother scream even louder. In reaction the switchblade man puts a hand on his mouth.
-HELP!-I scream but the man that holds me puts his hand on my mouth too.
The switchblade man takes his blade again, he's about to stab Denahi on the scar, my brother looks at it with fear. The man lift the knife on the air but then...it happens something unexpected:
A dog appears all the sudden, launch himself against the man and bite the arm where the knife is.
Saya?
-AAAAHHHH! GET OFF! GET OFF!-yells the man wile Saya keeps biting him and growling.
At the same time, a girl appears and kicks the man that holds Denahi on the head knocking him out.
-Chayo!-I say full of happiness.
-Hora si ya se los cargó la chingada pendejos.
Now they will see.
The two other men look at her with nasty faces, but Chayo doesn't look scared, she stays firm and determined to protect us. One man approaches to her and try's to punch her, but my sister is faster than him, she dodges the punch and then she hits him on the liver, then puts her hand on L and hits his throat chocking the man. She concludes by kicking him on the jaw. The second man runs to her, big error, Chayo uses his impulse against him taking him by the shirt and the belt and then, I can't even believe it, she lifts him over her and drops him on the ground! She finish by a kick on his face.
Wow, for being scout on the marines, she's not bad at all.
-Let my brother go-says my sister to the man that holds me.
This one throws me away and launch himself against Chayo, she dodges him and does a flying kick behind his head. She then runs to me with a worry look.
-Koda are you alright?
-Yeah
-Did they do something to you?
-No Chayo, I'm fine.
Then she turns back and we see that Saya keeps biting the man's arm, it's full of blood right now.
Rosario runs to him and takes Saya by the collar, the man keeps screaming wile Saya barks at him.
-Get out of here-she tells him, the man doesn't argue and leaves with his arm wounded.
I run then to Kenai, who's trying to get on his feet, I hug him but he does a groan of pain.
-Sorry Kenai, are you okay?
-Never better.
We then approach to Chayo and Denahi.
-Let me see-says Rosario to Denahi so she can see his wound-pinches cabrones hijos de la chingada.
-But they didn't get away with it!-I say trying to cheer her up-Thanks to you Chayo.
-Yeah-Kenai-But...how did you know we were here?
-I heard screams so...
-Well-Denahi-you saved our asses today.
-Hey, that's a big sister's j-
ROSARIO!
