Stefan came out and joined in the fight , then Herc came out and drew out a knife and put it near Lupiitas neck, "the next move will be your last" herc said and motioned for Rodrigo who then looked at Herc and said "they seen us, we have no choice, and took out a power burst and tossed it on the ground,it exploded and smoke filled the street, just as the smoke began to clear , lupita and Maria along with the limo were gone.
"DAMNIT!" stefan said, "it was a trap!! we fell for it !", Rene looked at his friend and said "Stefan,look ..they'll be ok I dont think those bastards will do anything to harm them, this bought us time" "Rene,you are right, we must look at this with logic, and then find out just what we can do..I have to make a call, ride up front with Charles" as stefans limo came in Rene sat with charles,as Stefan went on the phone to the police.
Back at the farm, Fredrico,Luisa,Ernesto and Analya waited with baited breath to hear what happened, when they heard Stefans limo .. "OH MY GOD!!" Luisa shouted as she saw Stefan and Rene come out, their clothes torn,their face,legs and arms bloodied
as if in a war ..the families ran to help ..."What Happened, where is Lupita??" Ernesto said worried ..as Luisa got them something to drink,Stefan looked at Ernesto and said " they got her, we fought them off, tried to resuce them ...but Herc had a knife, they threatened to harm her if we moved one step." "HERC!!?" anayla said, "Oh god then that means ...." just then a phone rang .
Luisa hit the speaker phone as Stefan took the other phone and picked it up so as no one could hear on the other end, "Yes?" luisa said nervously, the voice on the other end said "Is This the roguizela ranch?", Ernesto spoke , "This is Fredrico Roguizela, with my wife, who is this?" The voice on the other end spoke "Is the old man and his daughter there with you?", Fredrico spoke again as stefan motioned all to be quiet, "yes they are..WHO ARE YOU ?" Fredrico spoke, "The time has come old man..to settle a score, I told you I would see your heart break when I took what you cherished the most if you didnt sign ..now I have her, and now YOU will be my puppet, or she AND HER NEICE will die!" Ernesto spoke "BASTARD!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER, YOU LAY ONE FINGER ON HER AND I'LL KI.." Roberto laughed "Old man, you will do nothing,as no harm will come to your daughter NOR YOURS Fredrico..YET! now listen , and if Stefan and that pipsqueak Rene are listening..make sure you get this" and handed the phone to Rocko , "Ahh gentlemen, my name is Rocko Sandoval you have heard of me yes? I am the head of a vast cartel ,drugs, prositution,gambling..you know the rest, Now I control all that the world has and with my partner Roberto and his gang the Lions at my side, we now hold all the cards but one..YOUR BUSINESSES gentlemen!!" a stunned silence took the families as Rocko spoke, see we want both the grocery and florist business to expand our vast cartel, the INS and DEA already have several of my men incarsarated for drug smuggling,and other things, but the WHOLE operation is not as you see it, no gentlemen, far from it, I have the underground railroad of smuggling constantly in movement dealing with far east and latin concerns, but several loose ends had to be dealt with" and so when your charming daughter Lupita stumbled onto Robertos secret , he had no choice but to make you pay, but you would not listen so we had to make sure both of you did." Roberto took the phone from Rocko "you see old man, I killed your wife because she was getting too close to the truth, yea I used Lupita, and I made love to her in a drunk rage, and I threw her out like the trash she is"
Ernesto was fileld with rage , but Stefan held him back as Analya tried to calm him down, analya took to the speaker phone "where is my sister and neice let me hear them Roberto" Roberto said "Sure Analya, but only for a few moments" he then walked over to the back room where Lupita and Maria, weak from the struggle with their captors ,drugged and gagged on a couch tied up with Herc watching them and touching Lupita and Maria face "Ohhh such good girls, maybe I should give the a peice of the herc"roberto slugged Herc "NO !!" he then took the gag off them but first said " Now you both listen well, you want to live to see your families again you will just say hello, anything more and I'll let Herc have his way with you so fast you'll want to die!" he then held the phone to Lupita.
A scared and shaken lupita spoke, "p-p-p-papa, S-s-s-s-stefan h-h-h-h-h-h-elp us..." Roberto then held the phone up to Maria "R-r-r-rene, pl-e-ase help us.." Roberto took the phone away and re-gagged them "OK Old man, now here is the deal, you sign over all your businesses to our gang and then give us an extra $500,000..no make that 3 MILLION dollars and meet us at the old wharfside and NO COPS, we will exchange there, and remember ..any cops and both Lupita and Maria will die,you have 48 hours" the phone went dead.
Luisa broke down in tears, analya tried to comfort her,Ernesto took control " analya you take luisa to her room, Fredrico, Rene,Stefan come with me, we must find out just where they have them and plan a rescue."just then the call came from the Police on stefans cell phone, Stefan answered 'Yes, did you find anything out?, yes...EXCELLENT!!, thank you " and hung up ..
Ernesto looked at Sefan, "Well, what did the sargeant say" Stefan looked at all three men and said "we got him!, and if you will all follow my plan, he will never know what hit him,and we will save two cherished lives..but first,I must ask to speak to analya"
ernesto looked at stefan and said "for the love of my daughter, you have my pledge",Fredrico looked at Stefan and said "For my daughter maria and neice Lupita You have my pledge", Rene spoke "For my Maria, You have my pledge",Ernesto called out for Analya.
Analya came downstairs "yes my father and uncle" Stefan asked "analya, I need you to call your contact and allow me to speak to him, its the only way" just then there was a knock at the door, "You dont have to call,stefan, for I am here,and you have my pledge"it was Ruiz, the family were in shock to see Ruiz alive, after he was thought to be missing after the plane accident.
"I know you have many questions, but there will be a time for that later, now we have to save my sister and cousin from two men who are now ..very dangerous,even to themselves" Ruiz Said
"Then Gentlemen, lets make plans" Stefan said as the men went to the kitchen to make some sort of plan to save Lupita and Maria.
