“No. We tracked it using old fashioned techniques. There aren’t many cars in the jungle to leave trails behind.” Cisco shrugs.
I narrow my eyes on him. Easy.Tooeasy. But I don’t think this is the moment to pick a fight. Not when all I want is to get home, lay down in my comfy bed with my husband spooning me from behind. Yes, that comes first. I can pick a fight with Cisco later.
“Do you know who these guys are?” Yuyu asks.
I shake my head.
“We couldn’t find out who sent them.”
“We’ll have plenty of time to figure that out at home. We should leave before we invite more danger though. Not that it wouldn’t be fun,” he looks at Yuyu, smiling, before turning to us, suddenly sobering up. “But I think both of you should see a doctor as soon as possible.”
“We’re fine,” I say at the same time as Raf agrees with him, “We should.”
“Raf,” I whisper.
“What? I want someone to look at your arm to make sure everything’s fine.”
I purse my lips.
“Alright. But only if you’ll get a chest scan, deal?”
“Deal.” He winks, leaning in to kiss my cheek.
“Well, it seems someone’s back on good terms,” Cisco whistles suggestively.
“What can I say?” I shrug. “Facing death has a way of bringing people together.”
Cisco and Yuyu share a surprised look.
“Noelle told me everything that happened at thehacienda, and I believe her,” Raf interjects. “We’ve come to terms with our past and we’ve decided to leave it all behind. I love her and that’s all that matters,” he declares, and his features soften as he turns to me.
I smile bashfully, reaching with my finger to grab his hand.
“And I guess everyone here knows that I love him,” I chuckle.
“Oh, we know,” Cisco notes, while Yuyu nods.
In just a second, we’re all laughing. My antics when it comes to Raf are already legendary, and though at the time they were of utmost importance, now I can see how some of my actions might have been a little… silly.
“You should have seen her face when the condoms dropped out of her bag,” Cisco recounts that one embarrassing incident, and I do my best not to bury my head in the sand.
“So what?” I burst out. “I was in love with him, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Except for the fact that you were underage,” Cisco mutters under his breath.
Yuyu swats him lightly, giving him a look that saysshut up.He promptly shuts up.
My brother might not be the best interlocutor, but it seems he’s quite good at taking tacit orders—or at least he is when it comes to Yuyu.
We all leave the bunker, and Raf and I are surprised to be taken to a private jet not too far from here. It seems Cisco and Yuyu came fully prepared. There are craters full of weapons in the back of the plane.
“How the hell did you bring this all the way to Mexico? And how do you plan to take them out of the country?” I ask as I point to the craters.
“Oh, those?” Yuyu is the one who speaks this time. “We didn’t bring them from home. We bought them here. Some were for the rescue mission, in case we needed to use force, and the rest are souvenirs.”
“Souvenirs? For who?”
“For me.” She smiles brightly. “Cisco knows I like to collect a few weapons every now and then, and when he placed the order for the guns, he also asked for a little something for me.”
