 Excerpt

Tino cursed every person in Isabella’s life including himself. She should not be here in the middle of what he now believed to be a showdown between the drug lord, the gangs stealing his goods, and DEA. He wove in and out of traffic, his foot pressing the accelerator to the floor as he sped back to Garza’s compound. He wanted to charge into the house and confront the man but that would only get him killed and perhaps Isabella as well. 


He punched the button on the call box at the gate and was buzzed in. Everyone, including the staff, milled about the grounds. Tino parked his vehicle in the garage and strode up to Cezar. 

“Why is everyone walking around?”

“We still have not found Hector.” Cezar motioned toward the house. “Perhaps you should go in and tell jefe all you know about where Hector could be. I told you to watch him.”

Tino shoved the man in the chest. This was an excellent way to work off his rage. “You did not tell me I was to babysit.”

Cezar shoved back. “You knew he was incompetent.”

Tino stood in front of Cezar ready to shove a fist in his face, when he caught sight of Garza watching. He pressed his arms down to his side, clenching his fists. “I did not think he could screw up parking cars.” Shaking out his tense arm muscles, he nodded toward the house. “I’ll go see Garza now.”
