"You fool, this is MY payback for what the old man did to me, I said I was going to make his heart BLEED by taking away the most precious jewel from him, His Lupita!!" Roberto said,his anger now doubled..as he took rocko by the collar "YOU WILL NOT STOP ME FROM MY REVENGE!" , Rocko laughed and said "Come lets go now..finish what we began" as roberto and Herc went out teh door, Rocko whispered to Rodrigo "You know how to handle traitors,make him pay for his insolance" Rodrigo nodded and cocked his .45.
as they went to the limo , the girls tied and gagged with blindfolds over their eyes.
Rocko and Roberto arrived at the peir at 12:50 pm, the girls were bound and gagged in the middle of the abandoned warehouse, Roberto said "OK Herc, set up our insurance..just in case" Herc Said "Right away boss, and sneered at Rocko and Rodrigo as Herc unloaded bundled sticks of dynamite with timers on them at general areas of the warehouse. "What is this all about Roberto?' rocko Said as he looked at what was going on.
Roberto said "its MY insurance policy, just in case of a double cross ROCKO, and not just from their family" Rocko started to come near roberto, but roberto held his gun and fired one shot in the air , Rocko stopped in his tracks.."YOU FOOL!!! " You think that I would let you take my group without SOME payback?? what do you take me for , one of your lackies" Roberto siad as he began to chuckled, "You are about as smart as they are,Rocko, you never mess with a hawk, because we take whats ours,and Im taking whats mine"! Roberto laughed as Herc set all the timers to go off at 3:30pm the time of the switch. " Now I have the detonator, see all of the bombs are electronically hooked to the bag which is locked on the legs of those two ladies, should they struggle it only lessens their life about 2 tenths of a second more. now THATS insurance!" Rodrigo spoke from the entranceway,"I hear them, boss" Rocko looked sternly at Roberto and said " Lets go welcome our quarry" Rocko followed,he looked at Rodriego and nodded as they opened the doors.
It was 1pm as a black limo pulled into the peir entrance, Ruiz got out first with his case, then the limo went passed, ruiz started to run to the back of the piers to his location behind some crates , and motioned for the SUV to follow him, but keep a distance.
The limo arrived just a yard from the peir " THATS FAR ENOUGH OLD MAN!" Roberto said ,"Now walk towards the entrance remember no harm unless you were followed"As they walked towards the entrance Stefan tipped his hat as they passed "the mission on ragged hill"a homeless shelter some of the people nodded back as if they knew him.
"Its all set" stefan whispered to Ernesto who held the main case,'Just stay focused on what we do and watch for anything out of the ordinary" Ernesto litghtly nodded so as not to tip off roberto and rocko as to what was going on,Rene and fredrico came with the other cases, "Ok now you have something we want, and we have something you want, question is ..who goes first " Roberto said.
"First I want to see the girls" ernesto said as they met face to face, Roberto said " OK Old Man, you will see them " he led them inside and then said "Thats far enough" and had herc frisk them for guns and to see also if they were wired, "Nothing on them boss" herc said, just then a loud sound came from out of nowhere, Roberto took his gun out and started shooting in the air,Rocko said "Ok that shouldve taken care of that " Now there are your precious Lupita and Maria, just as I said no harm yet, oh theyve been doped up just enough to keep them quiet, now the contracts please..AND THE MONEY!, oh before that roberto has decided to add some insurance in case you decided to get smart and call the cops", he nodded to Rodrigo and he hit the lights , Roberto said "this whole place is wired and in the middle where your precious gems are tied up , is a bag filled with enough explosives, that will set off a chain reaction that will take this place and them to hell if you even think of being a hero, and I have the detonator, now gentlemen ..yoru contracts and the money".
The switch took place, and Roberto smiled and gave rocko the key to uncuff the girls, "Uncuff them, for its all ours" just then the lights went out ,a sound was heard , a minute passed then Rodrigo hit the back up generator, the lights came on.Roberto looked around confused "What was that ??" and called for his bodyguard Herc, Herc came up to roberto and said , "Boss..I think ...we've... been..."and slumped Dead to the ground as a knife stuck out of his back.
Roberto looked down and then saw Rocko, "You did this !!" Roberto said angerly and looked at the middle of the floor, the girls were gone,Robertos eyes grew more red and angered "WHERE ARE THEY?? WHERE ARE THE HOSTAGES??" The girls were rescued by Ruiz and were reunited with Stefan and Rene, "Stefan my darling!" Lupita exclaimed as she ran towards him and gave him the biggest kiss and hug ever, "I thought I would never see you again my love" tears ran down her cheeks as she was finally back in the arms of the one she loved. "Lupita my beloved, nothing on gods earth would ever tear us apart ever again" Stefan said as they embraced.
"Maria my darling!" rene said happily, "I wouldve died if I could never be with you my true love" Said Maria as they kissed,Rene and stefan took their loved ones to the limo and stefan told charles "To the suv and their loved ones charles, we've some unfinished business to handle"
Roberto tore into rocko "You fool what happened to your "Great plan" and shook Rocko by the collar,rocko said "Get your hands off me you punk" and tossed him to the ground and went after the case, as he did Rene, fredrico,ernesto and stefan were behind the entrance door looking on, Rocko got the case that had the 3 million , "I got it, lets go WE WON! WE HAVE ALL THE POWER !!, then as rodrigo took the case a shot rang out , Rodrigo was hit in the back and fell dead in his own tracks. Rocko saw that roberto gun was smoking as if it was just fired .." You Bastard!!" Rocko said then a voice shouted "This is the San Juan Police , you are surrounded come out with your hands up" The two decided to try to make a run for it,As rocko went to the back door, Ruiz was there with the undercover cops, Rocko surrendered, Roberto ran for the front enterance, but Ernesto and company were in the way, then he realized his mistake and ran up the stairs,ernesto started out after him,"WAIT ERNESTO.." Stefan said, ernesto truned " NO !! This is my battle , you stay with the women.
Stefan told Rene, "Rene and fredrico follow me , Ernesto is not thinking right we must stop him" they follwoed Ernesto to the stairs,
As ernesto caught up to Roberto, Roberto said "this is the moment ive waited for, to finish you off for taking my Rita!!"and pushed ernesto off the steps with his feet and ran to the roof, ernesto was saved by Stefan,Fredrico and rene, "thank you my friends,but this is one fight I must do on my own' Ernesto exclaimed as he chased Roberto to the roof.
Ernesto followed Roberto to the top of the building, Roberto pounced of ernesto as he came up to the roof and started to punch him,. ernesto fell on the roof as roberto continued the pummelling, then he stopped, 'GET UP OLD MAN,this is not the way we fight, we fight like men!"Roberto said as he got up from on top of Ernesto, as his back was turned Ernesto said "You are right, but you never did fight fair" and hit him in the back of the neck, the fight was rough and furious , as Stefan,rene and fredrico witnesed from a safe distance on the roof.
Roberto reached for his gun, but ernesto kicked it from his hand and it went over the roof and into the ocean, "It dont matter old man, I still have THIS!" Roberto said as he branished a knife from his back pocket, Ernesto knew he would do this and said , "Then lets make this EVEN: and brandished his old favorite knife "BETSY" a pearl handled switchblade given to ernesto by his father Raoul Valdez Gigaulina the founder of Ernestos gang.
Roberto smiled and said "to the death comes glory ,to the victor only praise, it is time old man you learn that I wield the power now"
Ernesto said "You try to rape my Analya, you used my lupita, YOU KILLED RITA...no foolish one, it is YOU who will pay" and began to lunge at Roberto, "You are not as swift as you once were old man,but then again you were never that good" Robero said as he made his move, and like two duelists in a tango to the death , both parried and dodged and thrusted then roberto tripped ernesto and he fell dropping he knife off the roof onto the limo.
Ernesto looked up at roberto as he smiled and began to laugh, "NOW WHO IS KING OF THE WORLD!,NOW WHO IS ON TOP !" Roberto said as he was about to make hsi final move , "You are now finished old man, you have nothing left ..but to die!! and just as he was about to lunge the knife into Ernestos heart, ernesto said weakly, "Never make a check that your butt cant cash " and kneed roberto in the groin, Roberto was in pain and stepped back to the edge of the roof overlooking the ocean.
As roberto began to teeter and lose balance,ernesto came to the rescue in time and grabbed Roberto by the arm, Roberto said , "There will be another time old man..." Ernesto looked down at roberto as his grip was slipping, "No ..no more, not this way! we would never take the cowards way out Roberto, that is what I respected about you was you followed the code of the streets" , "Roberto looked up and said "No ernesto, I respected you,because you fought with heart and soul, there will be another time" and he used his knife to cut the top off the shirt sleeve and fell to the ocean below.
Ernesto looked in horror as he saw his sworn enemy fall into the ocean without a trace. Stefan,Fredrico and Rene ran to aid Ernesto , "no ,I am alright!" Ernesto said , a tear ran down his eye, Stefan looked at him , "Its over ernesto...its all over" as they all walked down from the roof and came out of the old abandoned warehouse. he saw hi daughter Analya and lupita and ruiz running to greet him.. "AHH MY FAMILY REUNITED"Ernesto said as he smiled and kissed them all, Fredrico also came out and reunited with his family too "PAPA!!!"Exclaimed his kids as they too hugged in a reunion.

Lupita smiled and looked at Stefan and said "I found my true love, and with him I will share his life and never find another to take his place for he is my only one, Yes my beloved I do and will say yes" and they kissed as lupitas family and friends celebrated and cheered.

Just then a car swerved to miss a deer and landed in a ditch, Ernesto and Fredrico came to the aide of the driver , she was a beautiful blonde woman who was trying to get out when ernesto came to her door, "Are you ok miss..misss" the woman looked at ernesto and said "Ernesto Guadalsi??" ,Ernesto looked at the woman and said " Yes that is my name, do I know you??"
the blone woman looked at him and said , dont you remember back at high school, Im Rosalita Julianna-Filipolo Rita's sister,Im sorry about what happened to Rita, she was planning the next reunion we were to have before her accident." ernesto tried to speak, their hands touched and it was like a light had hit his eyes, "Rosalita, yes I remember, you introduced me to Rita at the football rally for the screaming tigers, Where is Johathon, your husband? " Rosalita said "We divorced after 15 years, you know he got tired of me and went for a younger model",Ermesto looked and said " The jerk, he didnt know a good thing when he had it !" Rosalita looked at ernesto, "how are the kids doing, it mustve been hard to raise them alone," as they talked Fredrico took the hint and said " uh, why dont you two go to the receptiion and dance, I ll wait for the tow truck" and they did ...Lupita saw this and said "was that..." fredrico looked at her and said " Yes, that was rosalita, your mothers sister, its time lupita, that he found someone too who could help him not only ease the memories, but make new ones as well " Lupita hugged fredrico, "Thank you ..for making all of our dreams come true"
As they rejoined the reception analya was dancing with Juan Ferdinand Ortega, the anchor of Noticiero Puerto Rico whom met Analya during the standoff at the peir.
The next day, Lupita and Stefan, Maria and Rene were on their cruise, as the boat left the harbor they passed a small merchant boat ..on it was a mystery man in a beard and ragged clothes he looked at the ship and the couples and a tear ran down his cheek, "Good luck Lupita,you deserve all the happiness, but beware..it is not over yet between me and your father, we will meet again"
Lupita held stefans hand as she said " You are the jewel in my heart, I love you my Stefan", stefan smiled as lupita rested her head on his shoulder, "And I cherish and love you my dream angel, i am glad I found you for you are now a part of my spirit""
