???? Blame It On The Pain SEVENTY:
Ricardo closes his eyes. โIโm not like my father, Alyssa.โ
โDoesnโt matter. Your father took the most important person in my life from me and heโs about to do it again. I want him to feel what itโs like to lose the most important thing to him.โ
He sucks in a breath and glances at Lou-Lou. โYeah. I get that, Alyssa.โ
His expression quickly changes to nervousness. โWait, what do you mean heโs about to do it again? Where the fk is Jackson right now?โ
โHeโs working with an FBI agent. An FBI agent thatโs going to set him up for the mu rder of your father. I have to get to him before that happens.โ
โSht. Canโt you just call him and warn him?โ Lou-Lou asks, her voice cracking.
โHeโs not picking up his phone.โ
โFk. No. Oh, my god. Sht,โ she sputters, her breathing erratic.
I yank her hair. โAs touched as I am about your sentiments regarding my boyfriendโs current circumstance, can you kindly shut up so we can get on with the program.โ
She shakes her head. โI swear, I didnโt mean to. I didnโt know it was Jackson. Oh, my god,โ she squeaks.
Suffice it to say, she has both Ricardoโs and my attention at this point.
I pull the other gvn out of my waistband and put them both up to her head. โYou better start making sense, Lou-Louโฆor your brains are gonna be all over the carpet. What the fk did you do?โ
โThere was this guy. This FBI agent. He started talking to me, you know flirting, all that.โ
โYou talked to the Feds?โ Ricardo screams at the same time I scream, โWas his name Ford?โ
โH-how did you know?โ
โCut to the chase, Lou-Lou. I know how Ford pulls the females in. Tell me what he wanted you to do. And how Jackson is involved.โ
โThatโs the thing. This Ford, guy. He seemed to know everything about me. Things that no one knows.โ
Ricardo lets out a cu rse and I scratch my head with one of my gvns. โAnd you didnโt find that a little suspicious? You canโt be that dumb.โ
โIโm not dumb. Of course, I did. But then he offered me a deal.โ
โDmmit, Lucianna! Heโs a double agent. Heโs not legit, he works for us!โ Ricardo screams at the same time I scream, โWhat kind of deal!โ
I aim one of the gvns for Ricardoโs head and gasp. โWhat? What the actual fk did you just say?โ
It feels like all the air just got sucked out of the room. The only reason Iโm not collapsing right now is because I still have to save Jackson.
Ricardo runs a hand down his face. โSht,โ he says. โLook, Alyssa. Trust me when I say that youโre better off not knowing the truth. I donโt think you can take it and Iโm not going to be the one to tell you.โ
I shoot the wall beside his head. โTell me. Tell me the truth.โ
โNo. You can shoot me de ad, but I will not be responsible for putting the same soul-crushing look on your face that my father did the day he ki lled your dad!โ he roars. โMy fatherโs eyes haunt you in your dreams? Well, yours haunt mine!โ
โYouโโ I pause because my voice is wavering. โYou were there that day? The day my father was ki lled?โ
I look at him in disbelief. Heโs only 5 years older than Jackson. The only young people I remember seeing that day were the teenage gang members.
โI was 18,โ he says. โIn fact, it was my 18th birthday. The day I officially became a man. My father wanted to celebrate by showing me what you do to rats. Or specifically, what you do when you find out that one of your men is an undercover agent.โ
His face contorts in agony. โYou werenโt the only one locked in a car that day, Alyssa,โ he says gruffly before his tone turns somber. โIโm so sorry. I liked your dad. We did some runs together and became close. I looked up to him. Wanted to be like him. He used to talk about how much he loved his little goblinโ โ
I shoot the wall beside his head again, much closer this time. โShut the fk up. You didnโt know sht about my dad, you piece of sht! Your father ki lled him! He ki lled him and I watched every second of it and I saw the look in DeLucaโs eyes when he did it. So donโt you try and stand there and offer me your condolences or sympathy. Like this is some kind of hallmark momentโฆwhen youโre literally the spawn of fking sa tan himself!โ
His eyes become glassy. โI didnโt want to be. That day changed me. You have no idea what that day did to me.โ
โIt will never compare to what it did to me.โ
โI know,โ he whispers.
In front of me, Lou-Louโs trembling and I hear her sobbing. โYouโre the little girl. The little girl in his nightmares.โ
โStop, Lou-Lou,โ Ricardo warns.
Lou-Lou lifts her chin. โNo. You need to know, Alyssa. Heโs not Bruno. Trust me, you donโt know what Ricardoโs been through. Heโs not the bad guy. Bruno is.โ
โI guess itโs time to find out then, huh?โ
Ricardoโs eyes meet mine. โWhat do you mean?โ
โCall your father and find out where he is right now. If you donโt, Iโll ki ll her in front of you and give you another nightmare.โ
Ricardo picks up his shorts off the floor but I click my tongue. โAre you armed?โ
โWould it matter? Iโm not going to ki ll you.โ
โA leopard doesnโt change its spots.โ
โYou know, bchโyouโre not the only one who watched their parent get murdered by the hands of DeLuca.โ
โDeLuca ki lled your parents?โ I question.
โProbably,โ she scoffs. โWho the fk knows. However, I was referring to Ricardo.โ
โHe ki lled your mother?โ I ask in his direction.
Ricardo closes his eyes and nods. โYeah. After I told him that I wanted nothing to do with him and said I would never be like him. He tracked my mother down and taught me another lesson.โ
This time, I see a tear fall down his face and I let mine fall with it. โHow are you not more fked up? How did you save yourself from becoming just like him?โ
โBelieve me, heโs plenty fked up,โ Lou-Lou whispers.
Ricardo turns around and I read the large tattoo on his back scrawled in black ink. Sometimes there is absolutely no difference at all between salvation and damnation.
โItโs from the Green Mile,โ Lou-Lou offers.
I ignore her and wait for him to turn back around. โYou going to call him?โ
โI donโt really have much of a choice. Iโm not letting him ki ll Jackson.โ
โI swear I didnโt know it was him,โ Lou-Lou whispers again.
I canโt believe I almost forgot. โLou-Lou finish telling me about your involvement with Ford.โ
She clears her throat. โLike I said, he tried to get in my p ants and he knew all this stuff.โ Ricardo narrows his eyes and she quickly says, โAnyway, he offered me a deal. He said that he would set it up so that I could ki ll DeLuca. But seeing as he was FBI, he would make sure it wouldnโt get pinned on me. He said there would be someone else there, someone with more motive than I had to take the fall. I didnโt know it was going to be Jackson because he refused to tell me who this other person was. He said I wouldnโt find out until I got thereโฆbut I didnโt go through with it. I backed out at the last minute.โ
Ricardo starts pacing. โFk, he was playing you both.โ
I always knew Ford was manipulative, but even I didnโt think heโd take it this far. โI guess that explains why he planned to take me to Mexico. Thereโs really no doubt in my mind that heโs setting Jackson up.โ
When they both look at me I say, โFord and meโฆour relationship isโฆwasโฆcomplicated. Itโs really fked up.โ
Ricardo looks disgusted. โTrust me, sweetie. You really have no idea just how fked up,โ he whispers.
My stomach knots with those words but I donโt have time to concentrate on that. โRicardo, I need you to talk to DeLuca. Find out where he is right now. Tell him itโs an emergency and you need him to meet you at the docks near Jersey.โ
โYou want to do this there?โ
โHโll, yes.โ Not only do I like my revenge served cold too but I need to get him as far away from Jackson as possible and still manage to ki ll him in the next few hours.
I look down at Lou-Lou. โAnd after that, I need you to call Ford. Tell him the fking jig is up and Iโm holding both you and Ricardo hostage. Tell him to meet me at the docks, but warn him that if he brings Jackson it will be the last thing that he does.โ
Ricardo shakes his head. โThatโs not going to work. Heโs going to bring Jackson. Especially if heโs already targeted him as the fall guy. Also, thereโs no telling what Jackson will do to Ford if he finds out he set him up. There could be a showdown between them.โ
Crap, heโs right.
โWell then get a hold of Jackson and tell him that something happened to me. Say whatever you have to say to throw him off the course. Donโt tell him about Ford just make sure he leaves.โ
โBut you said he wasnโt picking up his phone,โ Ricardo argues.
I smirk. โIโm sure he has a special company phone that you can get a hold of him on.โ
