THE - NEXT - MORNING

Alan : Adela!
Adela : Hey!
Alan : I heard you applied for a job?
Adela : Yeah but they said they'll call me if I got the job or not.
Alan : About that- it's best if you don't work. The point of you here is to be hidden. One phone call almost blew up everything.
Zane : I agree with Alan on this one. I think it's best if you lay low as much as possible. Why do you want to work anyway?
Adela : To get an apartment.
Zane : But you don't need to.
Adela : I just don't feel comfortable living for free you get me?
Alan : What's your strength and talent?
Adela : Art
Alan : There you go. Why don't you sell art online under a fake name?
Adela : That's....not a bad idea actually.
Alan : That way you could work from here.
Adela : That would be great. I need materials though.
Zane : I'll take you.
Dimitri : -walks in- I believe that's my job.
Zane : Listen-
Adela : Guys please don't start! Dimitri has to come Zane but that doesn't mean you can't.
Emma : Hey!
Zane : Look who decided to visit.
Emma : Oh shut up. Uncle I need to talk to you.
Alan : Sure!
Dimitri : I'll be waiting in the car.
Adela : -hug- Nice seeing you Em.
Emma : Aww you too!
Zane : Will you stay for dinner?
Emma : if she's going to be there then no.
Zane : We'll talk later. -hug-
Emma : Bye brother!
Alan : What did you want to talk about?
Emma : About Adela..
Alan : Go on..
Emma : Have you thought of a plan to communicate her with her parents?
Alan : No
Emma : I have an idea.
Alan : Whatever it is- no.
Emma : What if I go to Tijuana to observe things over there? I won't communicate directly with them but I'll keep an eye on them and update Adela.
Alan : I don't want to risk you Emma.
Emma : I'm going you like it or not. I'm not asking you for permission I'm letting you know.
Alan : -sigh- When Zane finds out-
Emma : I don't care. He can't do anything to stop me.
Alan : Be careful..
Emma : I will!

Art - Store

Adela
I was choosing my supplies while Dimitri and Zane stood a few feet behind me guarding.

Dimitri : How much do you like her?
Zane : A lot..
Dimitri : Why don't you ask her out?
Zane : I don't want to go too fast and scare her.
Dimitri : Life's too short man. I say take her out and ask her. You can do the whole get to know each other while you're dating.
Zane : But I can't take her out in public for security. And I don't want you tagging along.
Dimitri : You have a huge ass house. Do it there. Use your creativity.
Zane : You tend to say things like if you're demanding.
Dimitri : I'm just used to having authority in Russia.
Zane : You're your own boss then?
Dimitri : Sorta...
Adela : Okay! I think I have everything.
Dimitri : Great! Let's go!

T I J U A N A
Bruno's Warehouse

Bruno : We need another plan. Someone is telling Adela exactly what to do. They know damn well what I was trying to do.
Martin : Yeah her parents are being extremely careful. They don't talk to anyone. No one calls them either.
Bruno : I need a plan to get Adela to come back to Tijuana.
Martin : Or you can leave her alone and move on.
Bruno : No! Adela is the one I want.
Martin : -eye roll-
Bruno : I'll come up with something.
Martin : Changing the subject completely- I was looking into Justin Wilson, but turns out that's not even his real name.
Bruno : What is it?
Martin : I'm not sure but I was looking into "Justin Wilson" and it's all fake. It doesn't match at all.
Bruno : Find out his real identity and everything about him! We need that information to avenge our parents death.
Martin : Remember I said he had two children? That part is true. I saw a picture and it's clearly him.
Bruno : We'll focus on that later but the priority is to find out his real name.
Martin : Count on it.

Zane's House

Alan : You're back! Great! Zane you have to know something.
Zane : What happened?
Alan : Emma went to Tijuana..
Zane : What?!!!
Adela : What for?!
Alan : She says she wants to help you.
Adela : ....
Zane : Why didn't you stop her?!
Alan : I tried to but she didn't listen! She was very determined to go.
Zane : -walks away-
Adela : Zane...
Olivia : Is anyone gonna eat? I'm starving so Imma eat without y'all.

Adela
We all went our own separate way.
Olivia went to the dining room.
Dimitri went outside.
Alan went into his office and Zane went to his room.
After about twenty minutes I went to check up on Zane.

-knock-

Zane : Come in..

Adela
I walked in and saw Zane was laying down on his couch which was right in front of his bed.

Adela : Hey...
Zane : Oh hey...come here..

Adela
He made me a little space so I could squeeze in on the couch with him.
I'm pretty small so I was able to fit perfectly.

Adela : Are you okay..?
Zane : I'm worried..
Adela : I feel a little guilty. She's trying to help me after all.
Zane : Don't be, it was her decision.
Adela : I don't think you should worry. Bruno doesn't know Emma. The city is pretty big it'll be too much of a coincidence if they run into each other.
Zane : You're right on that one..
Adela : Emma is smart. She'll be okay.
Zane : When I'm with you.....I feel better. It's like- just by having you here with me cures all my problems and blurs away my worries.
Adela : -smile- That's sweet of you.

Zane
She smiled looking down at me so I smiled back looking up at her.

Zane : You're beautiful you know that right? Inside and out

Zane : You're beautiful you know that right? Inside and out.
Adela : You're gonna make me blush.
Zane : -laugh- I'm glad I have the ability to make you blush.
Adela : It's been so long since I've felt butterflies..
Zane : Is that so?
Adela : Mhm
Zane : Does that mean you like me enough to be my girlfriend?
Adela : What...?
Zane : You know what.
Adela : -laugh- Really?
Zane : Really!
Adela : I would love to!

Zane
I cupped her cheek and pulled her down to give her a long and passionate kiss.

A - FEW - DAYS - LATER
TIJUANA COFFEE SHOP

Emma
I came to a nearby coffee shop and sat at a table to read my book when suddenly I felt a strong presence.
I looked up from my book and saw a tall handsome man who screamed money and power. He was wearing a black tux and a deep red tie.
His eyes were black and filled with darkness.

Emma : Yes?
Bruno : What's such a pretty lady doing all alone? Mind if I sit?
Emma : Go ahead...
