Capítulo 3: Chapter Three: Layed To Rest
VIP Ward ( In the afternoon by 2pm )
The nurse ducked as a glass cup came flying to her head. There sat Amethyst looking untidy; her hair rough and scattered and then her eyes looking blood--shot.
She held her head, shaking violently, as she tried hitting off the thought of that day, when life seemed to be of no value to her anymore...
" Can we, uhm hit it off at Els Pescadors for a snack or two. It's been long I pigged out on 'bocadillos' . I mean the one from there. All others don't really taste nice. Besides, I'm having this kind of bad feeling, I don't know why". He turned to Isabella who was sitting at the back. Only three of them ( the driver, Amethyst and Abelardo ) were in the car.
" Uhm, diablos no ( heck no ), were still on our way to see abuelita ( granny ) and spend at least two nights. Besides if we go there, we'll have to spend at least thirty minutes thanks to uhm, ' the enormous glutton ' which is you, of course-----".
" YO NO LO SOY ( I AM NOT )". He frowned.
" You are, and then with that thirty minutes, we would have reached our destination so, no thanks".
He kept quiet.
Some Minutes Later.
" Uhm guys, our tyre has been shot, I can't stop---". The driver panicked.
"POR QUÉ? ( WHY?)". They both screamed panicking.
" We were on full speed----".
" Well try to do something, we can't just die, dios mio, dios mio, dios mio ( gosh, gosh,gosh)". She panicked as he tried to calm her down with his soothing words.
" Abel--".
Suddenly, the driver lost control and crashed straight into another car with force. The last thing she heard was Abel's deep scream as she blacked out...
She screamed out in tears, pulling her hair in agitation. She flung the pillows in different direction and pulled off her clothes, left were her inner sports bra and panties. She went around pulling down the drapes screaming till she was held firmly, and stabbed on her left shoulder with a tranquilizer, and seconds later collapsed, drenched in sweat.

VELVET VIPERS ( Few Days Later )
The clan was in chaos and anxiety, the members waiting for any news of their boss. Just then, a Rolls-Royce sped in as four guys parked and jumped out of it heading straight to the conference hall, with a huge box.
They got in and connected the black box to a speaker and played it as everywhere went dead silent.....
" Boss, a ship is headed to us, it's direction coming from the left region of the Sea"
" Isn't it a normal ship?".
" I'm not so sure. It's heading straight to us like it wants to hit us no matter how much we shift out, and it's coming with speed".
" That's not enough reason. Even if it's an enemy ship, it...."
He was cut short with a loud, .....
B O O M!!!
An explosion sound that abrupted all actions, and that's when the recorder ended as everyone turned to Cappo Carlos who cleared his throat to speak.
" So, this now has served as an evidence that indeed, the ship was bombed up. When you retrieved the black box, did you see any of their corpse?".
" Yes we did Cappo, but we need more men and then alot of boats to go and bring the corpses before the cops find out".
" Of course not, boats won't be as easy as you think. We'll have to think about something else".
Diablo sighed deeply, resting his face in his palms, devastated.
" Once an idea on this has been gotten, we'll scale through our next action; finding the murderers of this, and then dealing with them ruthlessly!". He growled.

In The Hospital-- By 2 am ( Next Week )
A man made his way in with body guards by his side, as the people around parted ways, for them to pass.
" Buenas noches Mr Rodriguez". The doctor, Mr Francisco, greeted.
He nodded as he ( Doc France ) trailed behind him.
" I came to see my daughter, how's she?".
" Her vital signs are improving Sir, but then she still have difficulty speaking. She haven't spoken to anyone for months. And we treated the stroke she had earlier, which was the major cause of the condition.We also have to get her engaged in a speech and language therapy, but then, she doesn't respond to that. She doesn't even eat, if at least her sister isn't the one-time to feed her. We have.....".
" Okay, I've heard. I just came to pick her along with me, we're traveling to another state because my job now is solely situated right there, and I'm tired of leaving my kids alone. Besides, I've gotten hospital ready to put her in once we get there".
" Seguro Mr Rodriguez ( Sure Mr Rodriguez )". He ( Mr Rodriguez ) smiled slightly as they got to her ward.
* * *
TWO WEEKS LATER
For two weeks now, she stayed locked up in a room with her sister, although on rare occasions, Sara was allowed to go out. But Isa never stepped out of there.
The sunlight penetrated through the glass and casted on them, making Sara groan, stand up and stretch her body.
" What a beautiful night, oh Isa's still asleep" . She turned to see her sprawled on the bed and sleeping peacefully.
She sat by the dressing table and combed her hair smiling.
' And at last I see the light,
And its like the fog have lifted,
And at last I see the light,
And it's like the world is new.
And its real and warm and bright
And its like the world have shif...ted,
All at once, everything looks different,
Now that I see you,
Now that I see.....you...
" Wow, cool voice Riana". She heard a male voice as she turned and smiled.
" Hola prìncesa ( hey princess ) ". He smiled and approached her with a tray, dropped it on a side table, then walked up to her and pecked her hair.
" How was your night?".
" Nice yours?".
" Cool, and you know what?".
" What ?". She smiled and faced him.
" Well, i had an awesome dream, infact it was beyond awesome. I made out with you over and over again"
She slightly frowned " Is that all?".
" Is that all?". He mimicked " Of course it is, well, it was wonderful coz you were there". He wrapped his hand around her waist and looked at the mirror.
" We look good together, don't you think?"
" Will you get your hands off me Camilo?". She slightly pushed him away.
" Nena tranquila ( chill babe )". He raised his hands in surrender and backed away .
" What if, Don Adriano just walks into here?, We'll be dead?".
" As if". He scoffed and rolled his eyes
" What d'you mean---".
" Jeez pipe down tiger. He travelled this morning, though he's returning at night, for us to have our normal meetings. And besides the other workers around know I come to give you guys food in the morning. So they can think of even the most dirty thing ever, I don't give a fuck!".
She rolled her eyes " Lo que ( whatever ). So any business for now?"
" Nah. Well for breakfast, you have croissant de almendra and then tea".
" Alright". As she made to walk away, his voice stopped her.
" Have you considered my request?".
" Uhm not yet, but, maybe I will, nos vemos pronto ( see you soon )". She smiled and stepped into the bathroom.
" Seguro querida ( sure darling )". He smiled a bit disappointedly and left the room, locking it behind him.
* * *
By night time, during the twilight, she got dressed in all black, changed some part of her appearance then put on her black stilettos and mask, stared at her sister ( who was asleep ) one last time then ran out.....
Two hours after she returned back from the mission with Camilo and co.they secretly hung out in the dark dimmed bar ( inside the clan ). They drank a bit of alcohol, talked, laughed and after having a bit of fun, he escorted her to her room. Just as he shut the door, he turned to see Don Adriano.
" What were you doing there Camilo?".
" I went to give Miss Adriana, her bed time snack as she requested". He kept his cool and answered.
" Go have a rest, you have a mission ahead of you. First thing in the morning, alert your crew".
" Sí señor ( yes sir )". He bowed slightly as they both parted ways.
* * * A WEEK LATER
Cementiri Del Poblenou
Alot of dignitaries, celebrities like Amancio Ortega, Daniel Mate, Rafael Del Pino, well wishers, families, relatives and friends graced the funeral of Perez Emilano.
Everyone were dressed in black, showing off their state of mourning as the ceremony went on.
Some of the members of the clan, graced the event, like normal people in attendance. According to his family, he died of stroke in the hospital which was well believed due to the' published' articles and newspapers on them.
After performing some of the burial rites, Diablo, stepped up, dressed in an exquisite black tuxedo, looking as handsome as ever.
He looked around, sighed and began reading his well planned eulogy....
" Well Dad, I'm going to miss you so much for all the precious moments you spent with me. You watched me grow up step by step, guided me in the right path, and provided for me everything I needed in life, till this very point. Well, I'm going to remember you for that and so much more. Your decency , sincerity and kind soul will stay with us forever. So through our tears let us see the blessings of knowing and loving you-- a GREAT and noble man, and the best Father a son or daughter could have. I love you Dad, goodbye!!".
He concluded and stared around as he saw everyone's sad pity face, some females went emotional and bursted out crying. Then he sighed and stepped down.
" I'm so sorry Diablo, sorry for your loss,". Patrician, ( one of his members, ) smiled sadly and hugged him. He stared at her face, and it was obvious, she's been crying. Well it was her boss too!!
" Gracias" . He muttered slowly disengaged and walked away.
Alot of flowers were placed on his coffin as he was finally layed down, six feet below.
TWO WEEKS LATER.
Diablo, tucked his hands in his pocket after he got in shutting the door. Everyone excluding him were seated as he turned to Cappo Carlos.
" You called?".
" Yes, take your seat Diablo". He looked around and sat as a lawyer walked in few minutes later.
He introduced himself as Mr Cayetano Lopez and said he was his ( Diablo ) dad's private lawyer, and he had come to read his Will to the hearing of everyone. Then he begun...
" ... And then, I hand over the welfare of the clan, --".
' The clan, wait, what?'. He thought inwardly surprised .
" .... My business and my tittle to Cappo Carlos my younger brother and the second in command in the clan-----".
" Wait, wait, wait, espera un segundo ( hold on a sec ). How will my father's business and wealth of years of success, be passed down to him?". He stood up furiously.
" Thats what----". The lawyer started.
" Sólo cállate amigo ( just shut the fuck up dude )". He barked as the girls shrieked in fright at the manner he spoke with----
One establishing power and dominance!.
" That's how it is Diablo, that's how it works, callarse la boca ( shut up ), it's even signed here with Don Emilano's signature. It's final!". Cappo Carlos spoke up angrily
He panted really angry and shooting death glares that if eyes could kill, Cappo Carlos would have been layed six feet below, now!. Without uttering a further word, he stormed out of the conference hall, slamming the door.
* * *
A slight knock, was later heard on his door, as his eyes darted towards there immediately.
" Vete a la mierda! ( Fuck off )!". He cursed beneath his breath, clenching his fists.
" It's me, querida". The feminine voice spoke out.
Hearing her voice, he sighed and pressed a button that unlocked the door.
" Ivenga ya! ( Come in )". He said as she walked in and smiled sadly at him.
" Are you still mad, because of what happened earlier?". She sat on his bed, fondling with his silky white hair.
" Is that supposed to be a question mother?, You know the consequences of this". He groaned.
" It's okay my love, I also can't take to heart, the fact, your dad passed down the welfare of the clan to Carlos. But it's gonna be okay----". " Of course not!,". He sat up and looked away, then faced her, as he went on.
" Mom you don't know how I feel, that's why you're speaking like this. I'm beginning to think dad passed it down to him because I wasn't really serious, in knowing what it takes to be the head. I mean of this family ( the clan), I didn't take it serious but that is not enough fucking reason for him to pass it down to that thing. I am, and will continue to be his son----".
" Calm down Diablo, you rant alot!". She laughed a bit.
" Don't worry, at the end of the dark tunnel is that light, that shines and comprehends the darkness, so don't worry yourself".
The anger he held slowly faded as he chuckled a bit.
" Dios mio madre, eres muy molesto! ( Gosh mum, you're so annoying ). I'm talking on how apparently I'm stuck in a humongous mess, and you're giving me a life speech"
" I am not. I'm just trying to encourage you, don't let it get into your head much, besides its not the end of the world".
" Yeah I know, but nevertheless, I WILL hunt down dads murderers, one by one and slice off their heads. And secondly, I don't give a damn on that Will of his, all I know is that I'm Perez Diablo, heir to the family's business, son to Señor Perez Emilano!. So whatever is contained in that book, I don't give a fuck about it". He spoke with pride.
" That's my son". She smiled
" Besides, whatever is getting into ' daddy long legs, Carlos' head is none of my business. He can never inherit a wealth he didn't sweat for, OVER MY DEAD BODY!".
" It's okay Diablo, keep your cool we'll get to the bottom of all these one day together, the both of us, okay?".
He returned her reassuring smile and nodded a bit.
" Okay . I love you mother".
" I love you more dear".
Then they shared a warm hug.....
