Grace POV

"Wakey Wakey," I say as I shake Reyes's shoulders. Mason, Jackson, and Charles each have the liberty to wake up everyone else in any way they choose. Some got slapped, stepped on, or my personal favorite getting ice-cold water thrown on them. Reyes wakes up disoriented as he looks around the room trying to figure out where he is or if anything is familiar. It isn't until his eyes land on me that he understands what's going on. "Hello, Luis Reyes nice of you to join us tonight," I say sarcastically as I pretend to be joyful.

"Who do you think you are. Storming in here, thinking you own the place. People will come after you and kill you." He spits at me. I lower down so that I'm in line with his face. "No one will ever kill me, they wouldn't dare." "Anastasia don't be stupid. Use that head of yours. Your Abuela would want you to use it." "Keep my name and hers out of your mouth." I sneer at him. I turn my back away from him and start walking back to the crew.

"You're acting like a little girl right now. Did you think just because of the past you're now some tough girl who can pull stunts like this?" Luis adds trying to intimidate me "I overcame everything that was meant to destroy me." I yell back at him as I turn to face him. He starts chuckling slightly as he shakes his head. I get up close to his face and lightly tell him "You say I'm out of my mind but you just had me underrated." I stand up and look at him. "I think you're a little too confident right now," Reyes questions me. "What's wrong with being confident?" I ask him. "Nothing wrong with being confident. But that's just it." "What do you mean?" I asked unsure of what he is hinting at. "Well, it's just thats it. You only are confident to stand up to me but you're too scared to do anything. Like a girl" I scoff at him. I walk closer and punch him right in his face. Because of the impact his face doubles over to the right and blood covers his mouth. I pull his ear so he is face to face with me again. " Was that too girly for you?" I ask him mockingly "I walk my talk. No time for wishful thinking." I add as I push his face away by his ear and go back to my original spot. "You see you thought you were the boss tonight. But I flipped the script"

He doesn't say anything to me for a while so I continue with my mocking. "I can see you're shaking in fear." "I'm not." He tries to argue but it's not as convincing as he would have hoped. "Well, a girl like me is new for you. And you're terrified because of that. You know this is the end for you. But don't worry it will be one good show." I say reassuring him sarcastically. He stays silent knowing there is nothing he could say. But Travis starts pitching in his opinion. "One punch isn't going to prove anything. Don't fool yourself you're the same person who lives when shit hits the fan and times get hard." He says backing up Reyes. Both crews look at Travis and me watching out interaction trying to figure out what we are talking about. "Who do you think you are. You're just a rat and acts like a dick to everyone but a pussy when it comes to Reyes." Fury grows within him, but I don't stop. " I'm a boss, you're just a worker bitch. I make bloody moves." I snicker. "I thought you were a stripper though," Travis asks me. I roll my eyes at him. Is this man this stupid? Can he not take a hit. "I don't have to dance. I make money moves." I explain dumbly to him.

We sit in silence as no one has anything to say. Both crews are confused about what's happening between Reyes and me. Reyes, well he is keeping quiet knowing it's better not to talk than say something and make it worse for himself. Travis on the other hand starts to ask more questions. "Where are we?" "Sitting on the concrete in Luis's basement" I inform him "Why are you doing this?" "You know why. If you didn't you wouldn't be here" "How do you think YOU can take out Reyes. The biggest Mafia boss." "I'm the boss right now" I cut off his rampage aggressively. "Is this entertaining to you, Ana?" I laugh psychotically at what he just said. "Bitch I run this show" I answer him back. This shuts him up. After waiting a while I decide its time to break the ice and to start the game.
