1112 Words
Hawaii is indeed a beautiful place, it's special scent of plumeria and bird of paradise is something Ximena couldn't forget, but the girl sitting in the train right now is not a happy bright little girl but a lost soul.. Her mind drifting back to those times her parents were alive.
They will always hold her hands whenever they're traveling on plane, her father told her stories she will never forget, her mother brushing her hair, preparing her for school and helping her do her homework.
At that moment, she had no idea what to do with her life except meeting the man with a blue scar.
The train pulled up at the train station in Honolulu, Ximena clenched her bag as she gently walked out of the train station.
All she had to do now is to look for the man with the blue scar. She walked around the station while the strong wind howled, suddenly two men on black advanced towards her direction.
Ximena could feel her heart thudding faster and faster sensing they didn't mean good, she swallowed hard and corked her gun behind her.
They spoke in native languages yet Ximena remained unfazed having belief in the little trainings she got from her parents.
She observed the men for a while then one of the men walked towards her
"little girl, how are you doing? not fine? I know, I understand very well, you must be tired why not come with us so we can buy you food?" The taller man said to her
"no tengo hambre." Ximena stated with an emotionless face.
"You're not hungry? good." the man nodded
"you speak Mexican?" She asked in her Mexican tongue
"yes, I'm a Mexican like you and I'll give you whatever you want if you come with me." he proposed
Ximena shook her head in disagreement
"Quiero que te pudras en el infierno perdedor." She spat and then fired the silent gun into the man's brain and then she shot him 5 times in his heart.
Ximena decided to hide in a cabin but was surprised to see a man with blue scar being tied up.
"is he truly the one?" she asked herself.
she walked towards the man
The blue scar on his left cheek.
"Untie me kid, they're searching everywhere for you." he said to her
Ximena quickly untied him and he pulled out an old drawer then picked up a gun.
"What's your name kid?" he asked
"Ximena Carlos, my father sent me." She replied
The man nodded at her, he knew her father and that alone was a relief to her
"you know how to use it?" he asked referring to the gun in her hand.
Ximena nodded at him and he smirked
"Tough kid, let's go blow some brains off." he said to her and they both walked out of cabin.
The men on black were everywhere, they surrounded the building, Ximena's eyes fell on the man on bun hairstyle and her blood boiled in raw anger
"Good to see you with your head Tony, now all you have to do is play nice and hand over the girl to me or else the both of you goes down." he informed lighting up his cigarette
"You know I never back down from a fight Darius, the kid lives." Tony dissociated
"Very well then, no one dare defile The Boss's order." Darius said.
He signaled some men who advanced their steps towards Ximena and Tony but suddenly Ximena took the lead, she aimed at Darius and shot him continuously in the heart, then she shot the guards coming after her.
Tony was surprised knowing it takes a lot of power and courage to take down Darius, he decided to join in, he won't let this kid have all the fun.
He fired countlessly at the other men who fired back.
"We have to escape kiddo, hurry to the blue van." He said.
Ximena was about entering the Van when some of Alejandro's men lunged at her but with some trainings she had from her father, she bypassed them and got into the van.
Tony kept firing back at the men on black as he retarded to the Van. They both got in but he kept firing at the VY Men, The VY MEN are Alejandro's men.
"¿Sabes conducir?" Tony asked still exchanging gunshots with the VY MEN
(you know how to drive?)
"No, dime qué hacer." Ximena stated igniting the van
(No, tell me what to do)
"bien, pisa el acelerador, ve a la izquierda." he instructed
(Okay hit the accelerator, go left)
Ximena followed his instructions and hit the accelerator then she whirled the steering left
"Cambia de marcha." he said
(Change the gear)
she followed his instructions and changed the gear
"Faster, they're catching up!" he half yelled and without panic she hit the accelerator
"Keep your hands straight, just like you're playing a cricket, I heard you play well." he instructed
"Sí, lo estoy haciendo." She muttered
(yeah, I'm doing it)
Ximena kept her focus on the road easily navigating and piloting the cars on the way.
"Nos dirigimos al expreso" Ximena informed as she tightly gripped the steering wheel.
(We're heading to the express)
"I will handle that, switch." Tony said
Ximena glanced at the side mirror knowing the VY MEN are tailing behind, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
She increased her speed and spin the car in doughnut, causing the VY MEN to clash, then she took the other route
"Christ, Kiddo, you'll get us killed!" Tony hollered
The VY MEN barricaded the entrance also taligating from behind.
"Wait, wait Kid..." Tony tried to talk her out but she used the hydraulic suspension and jumped over the VY men's car at the same time hitting the car.
"What are you kid? no kid can do that, to the right." he instructed
Ximena drove quickly until they are out of sight.
"We're gonna switch cars and change our clothes." He informed her
They parked the Van under a bridge and then he took her to a fashion store.
They both changed clothes in order to avoid being tracked by any camera unknowingly placed on them.
Ximena and Tony walked towards a Toyota Tacoma, the driver was making a call, it's an elderly woman. They knocked on the window glass, the woman opened the door
"ʻEhia kaʻu kōkua iā ʻoe?" She asked in Hawaiian
(How may I help you?)
They both hurriedly dragged the woman down brandishing her and then they both got into the car with Tony driving this time..
