Part 10: A shocking discovery

As Anayla and Ernesto arrived at the Miami Herald,Anayla was trying to figure out Robertos evil plan, why was he smiling like a cheshire cat after eating a rat, but that would have to come later, right now she and her father Ernesto had one thing to do, so they went to their old friend, the editor of the Miami Herald.
The editor was surprized to see his friends Analya and Ernesto, 'Analya,Ernesto, what can i do for my friends?" anayla said "I need to find teh photographs from the plane crash that took my mother" Ernesto was stunned and the editor couldnt believe what he heard,"B-B-B-ut that was over 20 years ago,anayla why??" Analya smiled and hugged her father "Papa, I cant tell you why, but please trust me, I know what I am doing" the editor said "Anayla, I wish you could explain it to me, but I'll get the pictures, I hope they will solve what ever problems you have".
The editor, along with Analya and Ernesto went to the archives and found the pictrues, "ok here they are analya, what now," Analya took the pictures and then asked "Do you have an enlarger, so as we can see if anything comes out", "Sure Analya" said the editor.
they went to the photo enlarging room, and analya and ernesto studied each photo carefully, but one photo struck Analya hard, ..
"LOOK!"..Analya shrieked, ernesto and the editor took a look at the phot Analya held in her hand, Ernesto looked and said " Can you blow that up as large as you can?" "Sure, Ernesto, I'll try my best" the editor said as he enlarged the picture to the limit.
As the image was enlarged a stunned look came to Ernesto, "OH MY GOD. LOOK!!" ernesto said and Analya and the editor were in disbelief, as the picture showed a lapel pin on the floor of the plane..it was a gold hawk and lion, the symbol of Roberto and Rockos gang.."THE BASTARD!!" Ernesto shouted angerly,"He killed my beloved Rita, your mother" he then began to break down in tears.
Analya looked at her father "Papa, I ..." Ernesto took one look at Analya's face and said "Who told you this ..who is this person who asked you to do this..?, Analya said nothing, but took her phone out and dialed, "its time" and handed the phone to her father, "Who is this??" ernesto said angerly, but then his demeanor changed when the voice on the other end said "Papa, its me Ruiz".
Ernesto smiled and asked "What are you doing , we thought you died in the plane accident" ruiz spoke "Papa, dont worry about where I am, just know that I am alive and well, the one thing you must do now, is come here..by now Roberto has already got something planned, things are getting dangerous now for Lupita..you MUST come now and bring the contract,dont ask why, but Roberto and Rocko are aligned and whatever they have planned they want to make sure our family is out of the picture", Ernesto was relieved but still concerned,"How is Lupita?, is she ok??" Ruiz said "she is fine, her and Stefan and your neice and her beau have not left the hotel, let me talk to sis, but know that I am keeping my eyes on the situation , lupita is ok for now," Ernesto gave the phone to Analya, "im here brother now what?" analya asked , "Listen close, take that photo and copy it, then send one copy to the San Juan's police and another to our attourney and to Stefans lawyer, dont ask why, just do it as you come here" Ruiz said, " I got to go now, Lupita is ok ..but for how long remian to be seen, I'll call you to tell you where to find me" and hung up.
Analya said to Ernesto "Papa, we have to go now, the flight to San Juan is in 3 hours,we must go and pack fast" Ernesto smiled and said "Lupita will be happy to see us"and they thanked the editor for all he did, "your welcome, anything for my friends" and they left for the house to pick up a few things.
Meanwhile at Miami international airport, Roberto called Rocko on his phone "Rocko, its roberto, seems our problems have now become doubled, its time to write the ending to this war, and make sure your people dont screw it up," Roberto spoke with some distain, Rocko,who was getting a bit angered at the accusing way Roberto was speaking said,"Listen you street punk, I was making millions while you were still a nickle and dime rat, dont tell me how to operate just because you couldnt get rid of a little skirt that thought you were a REAL man!"and slammed the phone down hard..
Roberto was angered and chucked the phone out, "DAMNIT!! He is NOT going to treat me like shit!!, Herc lets go ..its time we settle this once and for all".
