Looking around me, we were out-numbered by culebras.
"You don't want to do this," Richie shook his head, Santanico's grip still around his throat.
"She's got a good reason to, hell, so do I," Seth said looking at me, "multiple reasons,"
Richie looked beside us, saying some foreign language, which sounded impossible to understand. Immediately, his culebras came up on us, closing in, "big mistake,"
"Aw, look at you, brother," Seth started, "snake-charmin' like a boss," turned to look at the culebras.
"Like the one I just killed," Santanico said, not changing her expression, she let go of him, but pushed him.
"Feeding time is coming," Richie sighed, "I promise. First, we have to kill an old enemy,"
"Carlitos," one said.
"We'll be ready," the waitress spoke.
"Good, we'll be in my office," he said, walking passed us and leading us to the office.
I stayed behind looking around as some culebra watched me walk away, our eye contact unchanging.
"Oh, man, I gotta remodel this place," Richie said as we walked into the office that I was in before.
"If he's around long enough," Seth commented.
"He won't be," Santanico replied.
"You've got it all wrong, I had you set up in El Rey," he said, talking to Santanico, "you should be walking in the sun by now, I just tried to set you free,
"And you, didn't I make you rich?" He asked Seth.
"To get me out of the way," Seth said, "how else would you make it to the top?"
"It's got nothing to do with it, brother, the shit was ordained," he said.
"What about me?" I asked, stepping up from behind them, "what, was I just collateral damage to you?"
