“Oh amor, I’m sorry,” says Claudia softly. She gazes into his eyes, she discerns the intense grief that the memories provoke. “Te amo.” She leans down close to whisper in his ear.
“Baby, I’m fine. I didn’t have time to mourn my family. The last ten years have been intense. I was in the military, training hard to achieve my goals. I carry my family in my thoughts and in my heart. I’m in heaven knowing that you’re mine, only mine:” Damn, I know that she would never betray me.
“I’m a twin. I’m the eldest by one minute,” says Claudia grinning. She gazes up at him.
“That incredible, are you two identical twins? I better mark you because I don’t want any exchanges going on,” replies Loco raising his eyebrow.
“Amor, you’re so naughty. I do have a mark right here, didn’t you see it?” She points near her pussy. “The small birthmark appears like a heart,” says Claudia.
Loco grins, he leans down to inspect the birthmark. “Baby, you’re so hot. Yeah, I see it now. It is little and very light. Oh yeah, it does looks like a small heart,” agrees Roberto. He softly kisses her birth mark.
She laughs pulling him up for a beso. Claudia pulls away, gazing into his eyes. “Yes, we’re identical twins. My sister’s name is Veronica and she’s a Model.”
“Is that right? That’s incredible, is she famous?” asks Roberto attentively.
“Yes, Roberto, she’s one of the Eve’s Pleasure models,” says Claudia smiling wickedly. Yeah I knew he would think it’s amusing.
“Oh damn yes, I was right. I thought that you looked like one of the Eve’s Pleasure models when I saw you,” replies Loco, grinning. “Now I have my very own Eve’s Pleasure model.”
Claudia laughs, pulling him close. Yeah, all men are the same.
“Baby, what inspired you to be a FBI agent?” asks Loco. I wonder why such an innocent girl would want to deal with such scum.
“I’ve always wanted to be an FBI agent, Roberto. My friend in school was involved in drugs. She was never the same. I decided then that I wanted to get rid of some of the scum in this world. Now I’m tired of the endless supply of criminals. A few weeks ago, I decided that I was going to resign after this mission. Now I really think I will because I don’t want to expose my life any more. I’ve decided that I’ll work for my family,” states Claudia nodding. She rests her head on his shoulder, starting to feel tired.
“Baby, I certainly feel relieved that you’re going to resign. I will die if anything happens to you,” voices Loco. He pulls her closer to his chest, locking her in his arms, and closes his eyes.
“Roberto, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue on as a Delta Force?” asks Claudia gazing over at him.
“I, too, will die if something happens to you. I know how risky your job is and don’t try to say differently. I don’t want to lose you now that I’ve found you. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? I thought you were never going to show,” says Claudia.
She stares into his warm eyes and narrows hers. Yes, he doesn’t like this. Well, I’m not going to risk losing him. That’s too bad.
Loco gazes into her beautiful eyes. Oh damn, I have to think about this. This has been my life for so long. I’ve worked hard to be on top. I understand her objection because I feel the same, muses Roberto.
“Baby, I need to think. I understand what you’re asking. I don’t want to lose you but please give me some time. I need time to think because this is happening quickly. I’m hundred percent sure that your my life, my alma gemela (soul mate),” expresses Loco.
He pulls her up close to kiss her deeply, expressing his intense feelings, his amor (love).
Hell yes, she’s the one and I will not lose her. I need to think. I’ve worked so hard to get this far. I’ve always wanted to be a CIA special agent. I need to discuss this with her, muses Loco.
“Baby, I’ve worked hard to be a Delta Force. My goal is to apply for the CIA special agents. My duty as a Delta Force is almost over,” says Loco.
I have to think about what I’m going to do next. I don’t want to lose her, ponders Loco.
“Roberto, I pray that you take my request into consideration when you make your decision. I will support your decision, but I would truly love you to consider other jobs,” says Claudia, gazing into his eyes.
Damn, I understand what she’s saying. I know that I would die if she continues to be an FBI agent. Is being a CIA special agent worth me losing my amor? Damn, no.
I was dying before I even loved her, touched her, and tasted her. I didn’t know her and yet my alma did. My alma ached when she was being held hostage.
“Roberto, you can be an instructor or you can work in my family’s company,” says Claudia smiling. She’s amused with his surprised facial expression.
“What do you mean?” asks Loco frowning. He observes her to discern what she’s up to.
“Roberto, my family owns a company and you can work there,” replies Claudia nodding. She observes his expression.
“Baby, I don’t know. Your family might not want me to work there. What would I do?” asks Loco. “I think that we need to explore our options,” he says.
Yeah, I need to think. There’s a lot to think about in such a short period of time.
“Roberto, my family works at our company. We own our own construction company. We design and build all kinds of buildings,” says Claudia, smiling
“Okay, Baby, we can explore that option. I want to be close to you. I want you in my life forever,” replies Loco.
“Roberto, te amo,” says Claudia, pleased. Oh Dios mio, I’m so thrilled, she thinks.
“Okay, Baby, we need to rest. I need to sleep a little because we need to be at the pickup at 0300,” says Loco. He pulls her close, wrapping his strong arms around her. He closes his eyes.
“Yes, Roberto,” replies Claudia. They fall asleep, from exhaustion, in each other’s arms.
Chapter Twenty-One
“Baby, wake up,” says Loco, rubbing Claudia’s back. “It’s time to leave for pickup.”
“I don’t want to leave our paradise,” says Claudia. She gazes at Loco, with sadness.
Claudia’s corazon aches with fear! I’m so scared of losing him. My alma is scared of letting him go, ponders Claudia.
“Baby, I love it here. I will never forget our amazing moments here in our haven,” replies Loco. “We will have more. I promise.”
Claudia pulls him down for a hungry desperate beso. Dios mio, please save us, thinks Claudia.
Loco pulls back to gaze deeply into her eyes. My Baby is scared? What’s bothering her, Loco asks himself.
“Baby, we need to hurry. I don’t want to miss our pickup. I don’t want to risk the soldiers locating us,” says Loco.
He gazes deeply into her eyes. “Baby, if we get pursued, I will have to engage. I need you to promise me that you will run to the pickup. I want you to get away. I’ll be okay,” says Loco.
“No, Roberto, no. I’ll stay and help you. I’m trained,” replies Claudia. “I don’t want to leave you.”
Loco gazes into her eyes, he notices her stubbornness. “Baby, please promise me you will run. Promise me,” demands Loco. “I’ll be okay. I don’t want to risk that the drug soldiers get their hands on you.”
Claudia’s eyes tear up. She gazes into his eyes, shakes her head no. “No, I will not leave without you! I will not risk losing you,” whispers Claudia. Tears threaten to spill. She blinks them away. She pulls away.
Loco stands in a quick fluid motion. He stands motionless, clenching his fists. “I’m not going to back down. Promise me that you will use your training and expertise. Promise me you will run at your maximum speed to escape!” growls Loco.
“We need to get ready. Time is running out,” says Claudia.
She uses her inner strength to remain calm and strong. Yes, I need to be a strong woman for my man. I can’t be weak now. I have to be ready for action. I will not leave him behind. I’d
rather die, thinks Claudia.
Loco swiftly turns to get his clothes. Damn it all to hell. I know that she’s going to fight me on this. I can see it in her eyes. My Baby is a tough woman, but also very sexy, he thinks.
Loco grinds his jaw with frustration. He quickly dresses and looks for the strips of material to wrap her feet.
He turns to look at her. Yeah, she’s ready. She pulled on my t-shirt. Oh damn, I need to control my emotions. This is not a good time. I don’t know if I should love her or argue with her, he thinks.
“Ms. De La Cruz, allow me to wrap your feet,” says Loco in an even tone. Yeah, this is the only way I know that I can control my emotions, he thinks. He grinds his molars in his effort to remain emotionless.
Claudia turns to look at him. This is incredible! He’s shutting me out! Oh, dios mio, thinks Claudia.
“Really Roberto, you’re going to shut me out? I can’t believe this. You’re going to treat me like an unknown,” demands Claudia. She glares at him with anger, hurt and frustration.
“We need to hurry,” replies Loco. He gazes into her eyes. Yeah, she’s mad but at least she might listen to reason, he thinks.
I see that he’s determined and will not budge. He has shut me out. I know he’s in his Delta Force mode. Oh, dios mio, what should I do? I don’t want to leave him. He might need me, thinks Claudia.
She sits on a boulder and watches him take her feet and wrap them up.
He will not look at me. I know that he’s going to treat me like a stranger, muses Claudia.
“I want you to spread out. El Tigre will not allow us stop searching for the woman. He wants us to locate her. He wants us to search further in and on the mountain,” growls Chavez.
“Patron (boss), the dogs are tired and so are we,” replies one of the drug soldiers.
Chavez takes out his gun and kills him. He turns to the other soldiers. “Is anyone else tired? I’ll be glad to give you some rest!” yells Chavez.
The dogs bark loader with the gunshot. “Pronto, gueys! What are you waiting for? Move it, go and bring back the woman!” yells Chavez.
The dogs bark loudly and wild. The men and dogs are tired. They split into different directions to search for Claudia.
Loco quickly stands and grabs his backpack. He turns to take her hand. Not a single word is exchanged. They both hear the commotion and the dogs’ barks.
They creep out of the back cave, slowly. They listen for any activity nearby.
Loco pulls Claudia along and out of the cave. Swiftly he starts running north, down the mountainside, with Claudia behind him.
Yes, I can run! I can keep up with him, thinks Claudia. She runs along his side.
They run for a few miles nonstop, all the time listening to the dogs bark and the soldier’s yells.
Loco runs and stops to check his mic. Yeah, it’s working, he thinks. “20 out,” says Roberto.
“Concur, 20 north, spot,” replies Ghost, grinning.
“Engage and retrieve,” says Loco. He gazes at Claudia.
What in the hell does that mean, thinks Claudia. She glares at Loco. He’s going to leave me.
“Negative,” says Ghost. Hell no, he will not engage. He’s loco, what in the hell! He will not make it. They’re too many of them, thinks Ghost, with anger.
“Done,” replies Loco. He takes Claudia’s hand and sprints towards the pickup.
What the fucking hell is Loco thinking? Ghost asks himself. He rubs his face with frustration. He turns to the team.
“Loco wants to engage and for us to retrieve the FBI agent. He’s truly acting loco on this mission. I don’t want to leave him behind. We can see that the dogs and soldiers are behind them. Team, are we in?” asks Ghost.
Ghost looks at Panther for support. Panther looks at the team and nods. “Yeah, we can’t leave him,” replies Panther. “We need to sweep and clean.”
“Hell, yeah! Bulldog! Retrieve FBI agent,” says Ghost.
“Now,” says Panther, dropping out of the plane. The team jumps out and lands on the ground. They spread out and sweep in to clean.
Oh, dios mio, I’m tired, thinks Claudia. She trips over a tree stump. She almost falls.
Loco quickly stops and holds her. He gazes into her eyes with cold determination. “Almost there,” says Roberto.
Claudia looks into his eyes. Oh dios mio, he’s totally disengaged. I can see that he will not respond, muses Claudia.
The dogs run, closing up the gap. Drug soldiers are yelling with excitement. “Pronto!” yells Chavez.
“Run! Run now!” growls Loco. He turns to run back in the direction of the dogs.
Yeah, I have to distract them. I will not allow them to take my Baby. Claudia is my alma gemela, my world. I’d rather live with her hate, than to live with her death, thinks Loco.
Determined and furious, he sprints towards the drug soldiers, ready to fight.
“Roberto!” yells Claudia. Tears fall down her beautiful face. “Robert, te amo, I love you!”
Claudia watches him run into the trees. She hears the dogs and drug soldiers yell out. Shots are fired. She hears Loco yell out.
I can’t leave him here, I have to help him, thinks Claudia. She wipes her tears. She’s about to run after him when a pair of arms grabs her.
Claudia yells with fear. Oh dios mio! They caught me, she thinks. She begins to yell and kick.
“Delta Force, Travis Graystone,” says Bulldog.
He holds her tight. He speaks into the mic. “Secured,” says Bulldog.
Wow, another Delta Force. That means that I can’t help Roberto, she thinks.
Claudia starts to sob hysterically. “Let me go, I need to help Roberto!” yells Claudia. She’s kicking Bulldog.
“Ms. De La Cruz, the team will help him. I’m going take you back,” says Bulldog. Damn, this agent is a beauty, he thinks.
Claudia nods and allows him to pick her up. She pulls the t-shirt as low as she can.
Bulldog jogs back and the gurney drops down. He places Claudia inside and ties the straps. The gurney is pulled up.
Claudia continues to sob. Dios mio, please I beg you! Please take care of Roberto, she prays.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Damn it all to hell! She loves me! Hell yeah, thinks Loco.
He runs into the trees and spots the drug soldiers. I’m going to kill each one of them. I’m going to make them pay for taking Claudia and for their mistreatment, thinks Loco.
“Look, gueys!” yells Chavez. He points at Loco coming at them.
“Pronto!” He calls the rest of his soldiers that are down the side of the mountain.
The drug soldiers shoot at him. Loco continues to run towards the drug soldiers. He doesn’t feel the shots that hit his shoulder and his right side.
He throws off the dogs as they jump up at him, flinging them far. He continues towards the drug soldiers. He stands, makes a sweep firing back, and kills several drug soldiers.
Hell yes, I’m going to kill them, he thinks. He continues to advance, not registering the shots that hit him. He’s on an adrenaline and anger high.
“Gueys, I’m going to kill you!” yells Loco. I’m going to kill the guey that gives the orders. He has a lot to do with how they treated my Baby, he thinks.
“Idiotas, get him!” yells Chavez. He sees that Loco is shooting at them. “Who in the hell is he? Where’s the woman!”
Loco is blinded with rage and continues forward. His focus is to eliminate as many as he can and especially Chavez.
I might die trying, but I know that they don’t have the skill to kill me, he thinks.
Loco takes cover behind a boulder. He aims and kills several drug soldiers. Fucking hell, I need to kill that bastard, he thinks.
Loco takes aim at Chavez black heart. He squints and pulls the trigger. Oh yeah, I got him, thinks Loco.
“Loco, have your back,” yells Panther. He runs past Loco and kills some drug soldiers that are advancing towards Loco.
The t
eam operatives engage and eliminate the drug soldiers in the area.
Loco hears Panther. Good, the team is here, thinks Loco. He falls to the ground, unconscious. He’s losing lots of blood.
Hell no! Loco fell, he must be injured, thinks Ghost. He runs up to Loco, after killing some drug soldiers that have attacked.
Ghost drops down next to Loco. He quickly assesses the five crucial points. He checks the airways, breathing, circulation, any type of disability/deformity, and for any hidden wounds.
“Panther, we need to get Loco to the medical center! I can’t assess the extent of the damage caused by the gunshots,” growls Ghost. “I’m applying pressure to the wounds, but he’s losing a lot of blood.”
“Bulldog, gurney,” says Panther into the mic.
“Ready,” replies Bulldog. He grabs the gurney that drops down.
“I’m picking him up and you continue to put pressure on the wounds,” says Panther.
“Clear!” says Panther. He communicates with the other team operatives.
“He’s going into shock!” yells Ghost.
They sprint towards the waiting gurney. Panther quickly places Loco into the gurney.
Ghost straddles the gurney. He continues to apply direct pressure to control the bleeding. He goes up with Loco.
Panther and Bulldog grab the rope and quickly climb it. The remaining team operatives arrive, grab the rope, and rapidly climb up.
“Bulldog, I need help! Apply some direct pressure to the pressure points, we need to control the bleeding!” yells Ghost.
Bulldog quickly applies pressure, looking at Loco. “Why did he do it? We were here for pickup. I secured the FBI agent,” says Bulldog.
“I don’t know! Loco acted strange from the get-go,” says Ghost. He looks at Loco turn gray.
“We need to get to the hospital fast!” yells Panther to the pilots. “I don’t want to lose him.”
“We need to wait for Roberto,” yells Claudia. “Let me go! Stop this plane!”
