Dean-
Getting back to the hotel, Lucia excitedly showed Joe the sonogram.
"Looks like a peanut", he said.
I took the picture from him.
"Don't be talking about my kid like that", I said.
"Babe, every baby starts out like that", Lucia said.
"Congrats", Joe said.
Lucia wrapped her arms around my waist as I smiled down at the picture.
"You look excited", she said.
Her eyes were on me.
"I am, it's one thing to know you're pregnant but to actually see it, man this is awesome", I said.
She kissed my cheek.
Getting back to Florida, we showed Colby, who looked just as excited. At home alone, we sat in bed watching tv. She rested her chin on my shoulder.
"Yes my beauty?", I asked.
"We need to talk", she said.
I looked at her, turning the tv off.
"When you told me about you getting stabbed, you said your partner left you. My uncle Phil was your partner?", she asked.
"Yes, but for good reason", I said.
"What reason?", she asked.
"Your mom. He had snuck away and I followed. He didn't trust me enough to tell me about your mom", I said.
"Did you know Vinny?", she asked.
I shook my head no.
"Joe and Colby, they worked for him in Italy. Joe said if he would have known the whole story he would have done something", I said.
She nodded.
"My turn", I said.
She raised a brow.
"Don't give me that look", I said.
She giggled.
"You knew this whole time who Phil was?", I asked.
"Yes, my dad said it would be safer if he just disappeared and didn't have any contact with us. Little did we know he joined the CIA, till he called and told us. Said he could help make sure Vinny or the CIA couldn't get near us", she said.
"He'd know before anything happened. Gives you a chance to escape", I said.
She nodded. She looked at me sadly, then pulled away, like she realized something.
"You guys are the ones who told the CIA about Alberto's warehouse", she mumbled.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"Baby", I said.
"It was you, you", she shook her head no.
Tears falling.
"Let me explain", I said.
"Don't touch me", she said.
She got up and put her shoes on.
"Baby wait", I said.
I grabbed her wrists. She pushed me back. She rushed out the door as I followed. I had to go back in to put some clothes on. I called Joe.
"Dude, do you know what time it is?", he asked.
"Sorry, but Lucia took off on me. She knows we're the ones who made the call on Alberto", I said.
"Shit, I'll call Colby", he said.
I locked my door and got in my car. Wondering how far she could run or walk. I called Denise.
"Do you know what time it is?", she asked.
"I know, I know. I need your help, you're the only one I can trust to find her", I said.
"Give me a second", she said.
I heard shuffling.
"Okay, whats up?", she asked.
"Lucia took off on me and now I can't find her. Is there anyway you could locate her?", I asked.
"Phone?", she asked.
"She didn't take it", I replied.
"I can hack into the street cameras, atms and see what I can find. It will take me awhile", she said.
"Take your time", I said.
I hung up with her. Looking down streets.
"Where are you baby? Come on, don't do this to me", I said.
Lucia-
I stopped at a bus stop I had noticed while Jon was driving us home. I looked at the woman beside me.
"Excuse me, is there anyway I can use your phone?", I asked.
"Of course", she smiled.
I dialed Letty.
"Hello", she answered.
"Letty, I need your help", I said.
"Where are you?", she asked.
"Florida", I said.
I heard her mumble something.
"Okay, there's a bus station close by, wait for me there", she said.
"Please hurry", I said.
Dean-
I met Colby and Joe by some coffee shop. It had been a few hours now and nothing.
"Has Denise called?", I asked.
They shook their heads. My phone rang.
"Hey, anything?", I asked.
"Found her, she's at the bus station. I'll send you the address", Denise said.
"Thanks", I said.
We got in our cars. Driving to the bus station. Roman stopped me.
"I should talk to her, it was my call on Alberto", he said.
"You don't have to tell her that", I said.
"I do, I'm tired of feeling guilty", he said.
I nodded.
