Part 6:Roberto takes on Ernesto

Ernesto is a proud man,his family lived in Mexico City,where he learned life the hard way, as part of a gang called "DOS QUARTO POR LIBERTI" who most fiercest rivals were the "El Madre Tigres" who were led by a young punk called Roberto Charlando, the only difference between the groups was ,while Ernesto's gang actually cared about the rules, Roberto's promoted chaos.
Ernesto and Roberto were fierce rivals, and hated each other with venom.
It was when in High school that the spite would show, when during the senior prom Roberto's galpal secretly fell for Fredrico and went to the dance, her name...Rita.
Roberto was so mad he vowed vengance on Ernesto,"One day, you will pay for all you have done, I WILL SEE TO IT!!" an angry Roberto muttered to himself, "You will rule the day you tangoed with Roberto"

As the years went by, Ernesto became a solid citizen, graduated with honors from college, and opened up a flowerstand that became a chain of shops, his wife Rita was a world class athlete,businesswoman,and beloved mother to three children, Lupita,Anayla,and Ruiz. as for Roberto, his scheming and trechery became well known to a young unknown by the name of Rocko Sandaval, who was the leader of a cartel in San Juan called "The Federal Golden Hawks",the two met one day at a cafe in Mexico City.

"You must really love being king of this city, but how would you like to be GOD of the world" Rocko Said, his dark hair slicked back
and a smile like a chesire cat.wearing a white suit with a cane of gold with a hawk ornament on top,"What do you want fool, dont you know you are in MY territory, my gang can make you look like yesterdays news if you dont leave now" Roberto Said,snapping his fingers as Jacques and Herc stood at the ready.
"My friend, you misjudge me, for I am here to talk business..if that is you call of the pinata boys for a minute." Rocko said, Roberto looked at Herc and Jaques and nodded , they sat back down."OK, you have 5 minutes..talk fast" Roberto spoke harsh.
"Roberto, I run the biggest cartel in San Juan,Puerto Rico, mainly products for distribution to the far east and some latin american cities,and a couple of foreign markets, Ive seen what you and your gang could do, and I want to invite your gang to become a part of my cartel and together we can rule the world."Rocko said brimming with a smile that could blind a cat.
"whats in it for me?" , Roberto asked, his goons at the ready with guns out of their holsters, "Why would one of the biggest cartels want my gang to join them?"
"You got something we want, and in turn..we can give you power to distroy the one who you hate the most"Rocko exclaimed and held out his hand..Roberto smiled and said "lets seal the deal,Waitress,a couple of coro.."Rocko interrupted, "Noooooo Roberto, you are a part of MY cartel,A glass of your finest Champagne,waitress" the waitress nodded and roberto smiled, "Finally, things are begining to jump my way.."
As the years went by, Roberto and his became the most ruthless gang in Mexico City,and with Rocko in San Juan controlling the wheels and money flow, the newly formed Cartel of the golden tiger hawks had power beyond all other gangs,while Fredrico and his family moved into an influencial neighborhood in downtown Miami, Florida. Roberto saw them leave,but he knew they would meet again.
While setling down ,Rita got a call from a mysterious person about doing some business in Alcapulco,Rita got some plane tickets in the mail and flew to Alcapulco, she never made it.
The investigators said that the plane had a mysterious mechanical problem and that all perished, at her funeral all her family and friends were there, and also there was Roberto Charlando,as the service ended, Roberto and Ernesto stared at each other "I am sorry for your loss Ernesto, if there's anything I can do.." Ernesto interrupted "there is one thing, STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY" Roberto smiled and looked at a 18 year old Lupita and a 20 year old Anayla now in college..such nice wwomen they are, especially this one ,Roberto took a long lustful look at Lupita the youngest sister, "KEEP AWAY FROM THEM YOU VIPER!" Ernesto said knocking robertos hand from touching Lupita,Roberto and Ernesto got face to face, Roberto said, "Old man...you will pay for taking Rita,and it will be my pleasure to watch you suffer as I take your precious Lupita or anayla as my lover".Ernesto sternly warned "You bastard, you lay one hand on either of them, and as long as I have life remaining I will see to it that you never touch my daughters, If only Ruiz was here,he too would make sure you pay"
Roberto left,as he went back to the limo it drove off, "Someday old man..the time will come when we will fight to the death,and I will take your most charming daughter as my lover, and you will never see the next life"
