Chapter 5
After a round in bed and another in the shower, we finally fall asleep together. Waking up the next morning, we get up and head out for coffee and take a seat at one of the tables. Hank comes over to talk to him about club business and I go to get up but he stops me. "You're my Old Lady. I trust you." he says and Hank nods his agreement. I sit back down and they continue to talk. "Who do you think this Adelita is?" Hank asks. "I heard some people in town talking the other day. She's apparently the one leading the rebels." I tell him. "You hear anything else?" Bishop asks. "When I was at the market, there was a kid that was talking on the phone. He said the name adelita and then some numbers. Coordinates maybe." I say. "You remember them?" Hank asks. "I think so." I tell him and he hands me a notepad and pen and I write down what I remember. "I also heard the kid say something about the big man's baby?" I ask. "Shit." Hank says. "What?" I ask. "You don't think they're the ones that have Galindo's kid?" Bishop asks. "I don't know." Hank says. Bishop kisses my cheek and says "You did good baby." before getting up and calling the guys into templo. A little later, the doors to templo open and Coco says "Boss wants you." I get up and walk to the door but don't walk in until he tells me to. "Come here sweetheart." he says so I walk over to him and Coco closes the doors. "We need your help. Angel, Coco, Gilly and the prospect have been helping Adelita in order to help us figure out what was going on and how they were going to take Galindo down. We want to take her down but we need someone there to keep the baby safe while we do it." Bishop tells me. "You want me to go along to babysit while you do what you need to do?" I ask and he nods. "Just tell me when." I tell him. "We leave in an hour." he tells me and I nod. "I'll go change." I say because I am still in my shorts and tank top that I slept in.
A hour later, we are at the tunnel and heading through. Before going in, Bishop takes my hand and says "Don't let go until we get to the other side." I nod and we head down the tunnel. Once we get to the other side, he tells me. We're getting in this truck. Don't get out. Gilly will bring the baby to you and I want you to stay down." he tells me. "Okay baby." I say. We pull up to the compound and after talking for a minute, they start taking over the camp. All of a sudden, Gilly opens the door and hands the baby to me. "Hey baby boy. It's okay." I start to soothe him when he starts to cry. After a few minutes, the gunfire stops and the doors open and everyone gets in the truck and we take off.
We get to the tunnel and I still haven't let go of the baby. We get to the other end and head to the warehouse where Bishop has arranged to meet with Galindo and his wife. We walk in, and I walk up to Emily and she sees the baby and starts to sob as she pulls him close. "My baby." she sobs. She looks at us and says "Thank you." Galindo looks at Bishop and says "You found him." Bishop nods and says "It was actually my Old Lady. She heard someone talking about Adelita and the compound and heard them give the coordinates and gave them to me." Galindo looks at me and says "Thank you." I smile softly and say "A child should never be used as a bargaining chip." I tell him. "I agree. Anything you guys need. You too miss. Anything." he tells us and we nod before they head to their car with their son to head home.
We walk into the clubhouse and Bishop pulls me close. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just seeing her face when she saw he was actually there. She loves that baby boy." I say. "You ever thought about kids?" Bishop asks. "Yeah. But never happened for me." I tell him. "It will." he looks at me and I look at him confused. "Trust me." he says before kissing me softly.
