The gunshots scare the birds in the forest…
Time stopped for an instant, only the panicked cries of the birds….
Gerardo’s men also froze, the boss so dry?
Didn’t they say they were going to torture him?
Micaela’s whole body shuddered, her heart sank hard, she closed her eyes tightly, clutched her clothes to her chest, tears were slipping like broken beads, her throat was as if blocked with cotton, she couldn’t utter a sound….
She wished it was all a dream, but the pain in her stomach told her it was real….
-Snapping…
Gerardo’s gun fell from his hand and Nilson looked up to see him take a step back, cover his chest with one hand, trying to stop the gurgling blood, and look across the room with disbelieving eyes….
At the other end of the courtyard, a tall man, emanating a fearsome aura as if from hell, came striding over, gun in hand, his back to the headlights could not prevent the murderous aura in his eyes….
-Bang!
Another shot rings out and Gerardo staggers back, staggering another step…
Nilson reacts, Carlos is here!
The next second, Nilson breaks free of his pins and rises to the ground in a desperate comeback.
Carlos raised his weapon and punched forward, his mind reverberating with the words.
-Little beauty, take off your clothes, not a single one.
Daring to speak to his girl and say such things, he swore, would break that man to pieces!
Gerardo was shot twice and looked in disbelief at Carlos’ sudden appearance, in a second he was on his feet, at this moment his life was at stake and Nilson’s words echoed in his ears:
-You will die a horrible death by flirting with her!
Gerardo’s staunch henchmen reacted, hissing and surrounding Carlos with baseball bats….
Micaela heard the sound of the fight and opened her eyes to see Carlos walking in the distance, she moved cleanly to counter the attack coming towards him, she approached Gerardo who was still trying to stand, lifted his leg and kicked him hard to the ground….
Micaela’s heart in her throat, slowly falling, great, Carlos is here….
She was slightly relieved to see Nilson, he was fighting someone in a big way….
Great, Nilson is not dead….
Under the glare of the headlights, a new round of bloody fighting began in the courtyard as Carlos and Nilson battled Gerardo’s men, both fired up and leaving no stone unturned as they pummeled the men coming after them with a ferocious…
Finally, after a few minutes, all but the few who had just defected to Nilson were lying on the ground wailing….
Nilson picked up the gun from the ground and stomped over to the dying Gerardo.
-Tell me, who told you about this place and who ordered you to come here?
Gerardo spits a mouthful of blood and is unable to answer….
Micaela with tears in her eyes, rubbing her belly, looking at Carlos and thinking he was so handsome, so handsome….
Carlos gasped and also looked at the girl who was a few steps away, luckily, luckily in time….
A wave of pain hit Micaela and, while rubbing her stomach, she whimpered:
-Carlos, my tummy hurts, our baby is coming…..
Carlos and Nilson were in a state of shock….
Carlos was immediately filled with panic and took two steps forward, grabbing her by the waist.
-Child, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital right away….
Nilson was devastated, not knowing what to do at that moment….
Carlos, leading Micaela to the car, passed by Nilson and ordered in a cold voice:
-Come and drive.
Nilson came to his senses and, without hesitation, turned to the men who had deserted him and ordered them:
-Wait here, none of you will go!
The floor was filled with wailing all unable to leave, and the few who remained naturally nodded their heads as they had decided to submit to Nilson.
Carlos hugs Micaela and heads to his car, Micaela wraps her arms around his neck and sees that he has wireless headphones in his ears….
She still had Nilson’s phone in her hand and unconsciously brought it to her eyes to check that the phone was actually on hold, with Carlos’ number on the screen and the call time already indicating twenty minutes….
So, when she called him, the phone went through the back?
Do you have reception here?
Another wave of pain hits, Micaela doesn’t have time to think about it….
Carlos, full of anxiety, picked him up in his arms in long strides and went out into the yard, his car parked in the back, he pulled out the back seat and carefully put the girl in, then climbed in himself on the other side, turned on the back seat light and let the girl lie on the back seat, curled up in his arms….
Nilson came over too, pulled away and sat in the cab, started the car, turned around and drove off.
Carlos looked at the pale face of the little girl he was holding in his arms, in a state of panic and excessive nervousness, but he tried to reassure her, squeezed her arms and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
-Don’t worry, you and the baby will be fine…..
Nilson looked in the rearview mirror, Moya’s distressed look irritated him in the same way, it was her fault, it was her fault!
Moya hasn’t given birth yet, she’s a week away from full term….
It’s because she brought Moya and today she had such a scare that the baby was born prematurely….
She deserves to die!
Nilson regrets his every move again….
Moya if there’s an eventuality…
No! No! Moya and the baby will be fine!
Nilson forced himself to stop thinking and concentrate on the wild ride.
The pain became more and more intense and Micaela grabbed Carlos by the shirt on his chest and gasped….
-Gu, Carlos, it hurts…..
Carlos looked at the distressed girl, his heart torn by pain, and at the same time, a familiar feeling arose from his words, these breathless words….
-Carlos, it hurts me…..
The girl had told him exactly the same thing before.
Carlos held her close, feeling the sweet scent of her body, and his mind returned to the pale little face of the girl lying on an operating bed, her abdomen bright red….
More and more confused memories flooded his brain, each one about the girl, and his brain and his chest throbbed violently, exactly like the pain in the car that morning….
The girl needs him, she can’t spit blood and faint, no!
Carlos squeezed his arms tighter and tighter, the bruises emerging between his foreheads, fighting the pain in his head and chest, swallowing the taste of blood rising in his throat, pushing it down!
Micaela was in so much pain that she could not breathe hard, and when the pain subsided a little, she opened her tear-soaked eyes and saw Carlos’ pained face and asked in a trembling voice:
-Carlos, what’s wrong with you?
Carlos gritted his teeth and shook his head, his large hand gently stroking her cheek as he tried to reassure her in the softest voice he could muster:
-I’m fine girl, hang in there, it’s going to be okay, trust me…..
Nilson drove the car as fast as he could while looking at Carlos through the rearview mirror, the pained expression on his face, it was definitely nothing!
Another wave of pain hit her and Micaela groaned, unable to speak, only gripping Carlos’ chest shirt tighter….
Nilson is full of remorse and he has no choice but to get Moya to the hospital as fast as he can….
Carlos took out his cell phone, hung up the phone that was still on the line and dialed Diego and told him to go get the hospital ready….
Micaela vaguely heard Diego’s name, pain prevented her from asking, and the cell phone she was holding, she dropped it on the seat as soon as she entered, which, immediately, would ring with an incoming call, Carlos hung up the phone, bent down to pick it up and handed it to the front.
Nilson picked it up, it was Ian, and immediately picked it up, Ian’s anxious voice coming through:
-Miss Moya, are you okay? We’ll be there soon. ‘
As he said this, flashing lights were heard on the other side of the road and several cars, also speeding along, and Nilson gave a brief account of.
-Go to the house and check on all those people, send them to the doctor if they deserve it, and wait for orders.
Then he hung up the phone, threw it away, looked at the two in the back seat, who were choking in pain, and stepped on the accelerator…
