Ailee watched as Angel walked out of the office of the scrapyard, making his way back to the clubhouse. The screens in front of her gave her access to all the cameras surrounding the Romero Brothers Scrapyard. It’s been three years since she left and it didn’t even look like anything changed. She saw Coco at the picnic table, eating some McDonald’s while Gilly sat next to him, reading some newspaper.

“You know you could go see them.” Olivia sat beside her. It always amazed her how Ailee never flinched when she came behind her. Ailee also has never thrown a weapon towards her, which she was also marveled by and thankful for. She had skills, but she wouldn’t be able to outdo Ailee when it came to weapons specialization, thanks to Theo’s rigorous training if she could even call it that.

“Too much time has passed.” Ailee always had dreams of going back to Santo Padre, coming back to Angel, but she knew too much time had passed. He never replied to her letters. No emails, no text messages, no calls. She could have reached out to him, and she tried, but no reply ever came.

Maybe it was the clean break he wanted.

She could be exhausting at times, she understood.

Everyone always left her.

No one ever stayed for her.

Anyone who did stay, it was due to her worth for their cause, never just for her.

“He asks about you all the time.” Olivia knew the internal struggle that Ailee was having, how much she wished to be back in Santo Padre. Where her nightmares were kept at bay. It was insane for Olivia how attached Angel and Ailee were to one another. They were one another’s life line. They were both a shell of what they used to be and it was quite apparent.

“Did you ever ask him about the letters?”

“He never received them.”

What a lie.

“Of course not.” Ailee exited the surveillance, all of the screens turning black.

“I know how this looks, but come on Lee, Angel would never do that to you.” Olivia felt helpless at times. Sometimes, she didn’t recognize Ailee and it frightened her. The way she was able to turn off emotions as she did, it was eerie. Whenever she went on an assignment, no matter the length, Ailee turned into someone different. The way her eyes appeared blank, the way she moved and killed with such ease, she turned into the one thing she feared.

But she no longer cared.

Her family took everything away from her, with the exception of her brother’s. But they were guilty as Theo and Jin. They stood at the side and let it happen. Olivia always tried to keep Ailee grounded, and the only time she broke out of her stupor was when she was with Melody.

The one thing she had to keep whatever part of her soul that was still around. Alexander definitely helped as well, but she didn’t know how much more Ailee could take. There were times that she wanted to tell Angel where Ailee was, that she wasn’t in jail. The guilt ate him up and she could see that.

“Ailee, you’ve given so much to Maquina, maybe it’s time for you to step back. Go home.”

The intercom sounded, the tone of xylophone being played rang through the compound.

‘Hudson Elite please make your way to Conference Room A. Hudson Elite please make your way to Conference a Room A.’

Ailee and Olivia looked at one another. Ailee picked up her guns, slipping then behind her onto the gun holster.

“I don’t have a home.”

Angel walked into Templo, surprised to see John and Vince Rivera. After the revelation three days ago, the last thing he wanted was to see Ailee’s brothers. He wanted to fucking see Ailee, but everytime he passed by, her dipshit dildo was always there. As much as he wanted to speak to Ailee, he knew his temper wouldn’t be able to take having that prick there.

Alexander Leon.

What a stupid ass fucking name.

Once everyone was there, John and Vince flanked either side of Bishop. He knew this could be a mistake, if Angel and Creeper knew how much he knew, how involved he was in this whole ordeal with Ailee, it would change a few things. He didn’t expect them to understand, but he did what he had to do for his family.

The Mayans looked at the folder in front of their seats, before eyeing the two curiously. John and Vince weren’t even sure why they were willing to share all this information with the Mayans, but they figured it was about time. Keeping them in the dark was never their wish however, they didn’t want to argue with Jin. He always reasoned with them that this was what Ailee needed, to be with her family. Keeping her in Santo Padre would provoke Theo to make a move and it would further upset her if the Mayans were hurt.

They went with that reasoning, but they saw the changes in Ailee and it was hardly ideal. While Melody helped reel her in, they didn’t want to take any chances. If Theo was at the border, they needed help from outside resources to try and control the situation before it got out of hand. Hopefully, they wouldn’t even need to worry about any trouble.

Hopefully, Theo was still in Eastern Europe.

“Thank you for letting us come to your,” John paused, trying to find the appropriate words to describe Templo, “private sanctuary.”

They all looked at him and he shrugged. “Sue me, this isn’t exactly a conference room.” That earned him a few chuckles. Angel eyed Ailee’s brothers curiously, harboring some ill feelings towards them due to their cold shoulder towards him as well. He reached out to them, to ask what happened to Ailee, but they never returned his calls or anything.

They could go fuck themselves.

Her whole family, with the exception of Creeper could absolutely fuck themselves.

Creeper made his way in, arm in a sling due to the incident that occurred during their run to Vegas. Vince eyed his cousin curiously, slightly chuckling.

“Creep, do we even want to know what happened?” Vince questioned.

“Got shot at primo, not much of a story.” Creeper shrugged. “So, you want to tell us what is going on?”

“Please open your folders gentlemen.” John instructed. “In front of you are Hudson Elite’s members, a team that is considered as the best of the best in Maquina. The team is led by Ailee and her second in command, Janine. The other team members are Andrew, Oscar and someone you all know well, Olivia. You may be wondering why we are disclosing such high profiled information to you all. Simple, we have a possible threat at the border and we may be in need of your assistance.”

The Mayans men went through the folder, Ailee had light brown hair in her picture, her eyes appeared darker, but her eyes held no emotions. All the members had no smiles on their faces and what caught their eyes were Olivia. Her usual bubbly, perky smile was long gone. They looked like mug shots.

“The fuck, it is Liv.” Gilly lifted her picture and sure enough, it was Olivia.

Angel cussed under his breath, unsure of how to break it to his younger brother that Olivia was a part of some underground organization. But he figured he should speak to Olivia first since she would most likely want to be the one to tell Ezekiel.

Everything was just so fucked up.

“Wait, Olivia is part of Maquina?” Bishop didn’t know that Olivia was part of Maquina. Her job was always ambiguous and he never pushed her, but to see it in front of him, things made sense. She was elusive as Ailee, but he knew she wasn’t a field agent. She didn’t have the scars, the blank stare that most killers had.

It didn’t escape the members that Bishop knew the name of the organization. But too much information was being thrown at them for it to even register.

“Olivia is Ailee’s IT specialist, she also heads our IT department at Maquina.” Vince answered.

“Wait, what threat? What the fuck is a Maquina?” Coco was confused. He heard of rumors of a secret government agency that was recruiting while he was in the Marines, but he thought that everyone was losing their mind since war could do that to you. Ailee’s record was what bugged him. Two hundred and fifty-three confirmed kills. Her second in command, Janine had one hundred and seventy-five confirmed kills. He studied each of their profiles and they were stone cold killers with the exception of Olivia. No confirmed kills under her, but her accolades spoke for themselves.

But none of the Mayans could believe it.

Ailee, the sweet young girl that was attached to Angel’s hip. The one who would bring them food every once in a while since she knew they were lazy and rarely cooked. The one who would tend to their wounds whenever they came home wounded. They always knew there was something off with Ailee’s family, but this was just ridiculous.

An underground organization?

This was too much like those Hollywood films.

“Maquina is a government agency that is not known to the public cause we technically do not exist. We’re a loophole to diplomacy. Our assignments or actions do not require congress approval. A council is made up of unbiased individuals that are able to put politics and personal preferences aside for the better of the common good.” John explained.

“With the common good being whatever benefited the US and their allies.” Vince added.

John shot his brother a look who held up his hands. “Point being, we try to keep the balance of power in the world to prevent unnecessary wars. Our agents are handpicked from the CIA, FBI, and various other law enforcement agencies.”

“Or you bore and bred them.” Angel added.

Vince and John looked at Angel, not surprised by his comment. Bishop just shook his head, knowing his resident hothead always took Ailee’s involvement into account.

“What does this have to do with anything?” Gilly studied their records and the members of just Ailee’s team looked serious enough. Their accolades spoke for themselves, but none of them could believe Ailee’s.

Two hundred and fifty-three confirmed kills.

“You wanted to know if Ailee was in jail and the answer was, she wasn’t. Uncle Jin offered her a position in Maquina in exchange for her freedom.” Vince explained.

“And you let your sister sell her soul?” Angel scoffed.

“Well, we weren’t the ones who stupidly placed illegal weapons and drugs in her coffee shop.” Vince retorted.

Bishop gave Angel a look. “Don’t get up.” The authority in his voice kept Angel in his seat.

“Look, we’re not here to argue about why my sister is where she is now, you had questions, we have answers. If we’re going to strike up a temporary partnership, we figured that it would be best to be as honest as we can be.” John knew of Angel’s temper. It was what marveled him about Ailee’s attraction to Angel. She was always cool, calm, collected, hardly rattled. But Angel was her opposite and he figured that opposites attract.

“Your uncle bailed her out, he must have wanted something in return, besides becoming a part of this organization.” Riz shuffled through the files.

“You turned her into the perfect killer.” Hank commented, shaking his head. He himself was recruited by Jin, but he declined, wanting to stay a part of the Mayans. Jin liked his brutality and that he had no qualms when it came to killing people.

It was one of the qualities Maquina sought after. The more skewed your moral compass was, the better.

John and Vince didn’t like the comment Hank made, but they essentially did. They didn’t make any effort to stop their uncle nor were they able to save her from Theo. At times, they felt that they failed Ailee, but when they would see how she was with Melody, they had hoped that the old Ailee was still there. The old Ailee who was frightened by the dark and always ran to their rooms when the lights would cut off. The old Ailee who would hold their hand whenever there was a needle near her. The old Ailee who would sleep on their beds when she had a nightmare and just wanted her big brothers to protect her.

“My uncle offered her immunity if she chose to join Maquina. Ailee made her choice on her own accord, she’s an adult.” John ignored Hank’s comments. It was better to not answer, because they didn’t have anything to say about that. Cause they did. They really turned her into a perfect killer.

“You mean he twisted her arm.” Taza knew of the situation and the way he saw it, Jin made sure that Ailee had no other choice. Relive her nightmare with Theo, rot in prison, or join Maquina. Though, he was certain she chose to rot in prison. “What were the terms?”

“Uncle Jin offered Ailee to come to Maquina, and he would get all of her charges dropped. In exchange, she would work for Maquina for x amount of years.” John didn’t need to disclose every detail of Ailee’s deal with Jin. “My uncle didn’t want Theo to sink his claws into her as he’s done before.”

“Thought Theo was a non-factor.” Bishop chimed in.

“He is, but we didn’t want to take our chances. If he utilized Ailee as he intended to do so, then it presents trouble for a few people.”

“You make Lee sound like she’s the terminator.” Coco scoffed, still in disbelief that Ailee had this many kills. “This could be fabricated.”

“Could be, but I’m sure you’ll encounter this side of her soon. Seeing is believing.” Vince shrugged. “My sister has photographic memory, just like your brother.” Vince looked over at Angel. “Theo wanted Ailee to infiltrate certain weapons companies and to memorize their blueprints for certain weapons, so that he could eliminate the competition.”

“You expect us to believe this?” Riz wasn’t sure what to make out of this, much like his brother’s they were in disbelief. In a world where government agencies seem to be on one side and the so called bad guys were on the other side, seeing the gray area was a bit unnerving.

“Well, this is quite an elaborate scheme, don’t you think?” John sighed. “Is there anything else?”

“You staged her prison release.” Creeper stated. He felt like an idiot for not connecting it earlier. He wasn’t exactly familiar with the details of Maquina, but he knew a few things from his conversations with John and Vince. He also may have eavesdropped on Jin and his brother William when they would talk about certain missions. All he knew, they had connections and if they wanted to do so, Ailee’s record could be erased with ease.

Hell, all of their records could be erased.

“Yes, Uncle Jin thought it would be a good idea to have her officially be released.” Vince never understood why the Mayans had to be kept in the dark. They didn’t need to know about Maquina, but they should have at least been told that Ailee was released all those years ago.

“What did he do to her?” Angel chimed in, pushing his anger the best he could. He had to get information from Ailee’s brothers, he had to play it cool. They had answers and he wanted them.

John and Vince knew that Angel was asking about Theo and not Jin.

“Those six months, I don’t know what happened, but when she came back, she was different. The scars, the broken arm, how jumpy she became, and the nightmares.” He looked up at them. He knew they knew about the nightmares because he spoke to them often about it. She would thrash in bed, getting this frightened look in her eyes as she would push him away. It became so often that Angel figured out how to calm her down so she would see him and not whatever vicious nightmare she was having. “What the fuck did he do to her?”

“We don’t know the full details, just that he wanted to,” John paused, closing his eyes as he recalled finding his sister with an inch of her life. It was haunting and it still haunted him to this day. The way Theo left her barely breathing, it angered them so. She was lying in a pool of her own blood in a daze. They weren’t sure if her body was in shock or this was how badly Theo broke her. “He wanted to perfect Ailee, that’s all she would tell us.”

“What is the threat you may need help with?” Bishop questioned. As much as he wanted to go down memory lane and discuss just how much Ailee changed, he wanted the two men to get to the point.

“Theo Kane has been making noise in Mexico, providing weapons for certain cartels. The American government wants us to get rid of Theo before he acquires any power that would make him a threat. Ailee has been assigned to investigate Theo’s possible connections in Mexico. We figured that you can help Ailee by giving her access to your tunnels.” Vince explained. “In the event he does have connections in Mexico, she would need to make it across the border inconspicuously.”

“He was such a small player and from my understanding, he’s not allowed on US soil.” Bishop wasn’t sure what the play here was, they had no reason to be in Santo Padre over a hunch. He knew what kind of damage Maquina could cause and that was the last thing he needed with the cartel and everything else going on.

“And that he is however, if you make the right connection, you can become a big player quite quickly. Theo has somehow convinced some European governments that he’s not as psychotic as his father, but that’s all a hoax.” John let out a frustrated sigh. He should have taken care of his half-brother when he killed his father. It was two birds with one stone, but the council was very adamant that the son should not pay for his father’s sins.

But he should have paid since he was going to continue his father’s legacy.

Theo’s father was once a well respected weapons manufacturer that had huge government contracts due to the efficiency and accuracy of his weapons of destroying its target and the high kill rate. But governments did not like to share their weaponry with their enemies and Theo’s father became far too confident in his invisibility and made a mistake. He sold weapons to the Russian army, which made him an enemy. And he may have also been involved in an assassination attempt on a European royal.

Regardless, Theo’s father was excommunicated and the kill order went out that had to be carried out by Maquina.

John was the one to take on the assignment.

And he killed Theo’s father.

“So that’s all you need? The use of the tunnels?” Bishop knew there must be something else, it seemed too simple.

“Yes, just the tunnels, we can handle everything else.” John looked at Vince. “Ailee will be sniffing around, but she seems adamant that she has no plans on meeting with any of you, or involving you. Ailee was brought here to protect you all as well.”

“What? Protect us?” Hank scoffed at the idea. “Why would we need her protection?” None of them could let the idea sink in that she was this government agent that was right under their nose. That she killed more people than all of them combined.

“If Theo is here, he’ll target you all first due to your connection with Ailee. Uncle Jin wants to assure that no collateral damage will occur due to Theo’s obsession with our sister. He knows how to twist our sister.”

“And how is that?” Riz questioned.

“Angel, his move is going to be Angel.” Creeper sighed. “How did you all let this happen? You never wanted Ailee to become a part of Maquina. That you weren’t going to let your parents despicable actions dictate her life?” Creeper knew how much the three Rivera’s hated what their parents pushed them to be. Killing wasn’t for everyone, and they adapted for survival.

“We didn’t, but Uncle Jin reasoned that it was best for Ailee. That we shouldn’t let her talents go to waste.” John felt like an idiot for using that reasoning since he himself never believed in it.

“Killing people is a talent?” Angel had enough of her brother’s bullshit. They hardly answered anything and left them with more questions. “You two are just like your uncle, just like Theo, you always tried to dictate Ailee’s life instead of thinking of what was best for her.”

“And what was best for her Ignacio? To live in Santo Padre with you, happily ever after?” Vince clicked his tongue, his disapproval evident. “We always liked you for our sister, but at the end of the day, much like you recognized that Ezekiel’s future was outside of Santo Padre, so was hers.”

“No, it was never about me. It was what she wanted, she wanted to stay in Santo Padre, I didn’t want her to stay either, I recognized that too, but Ailee wanted to stay here and if that’s what she wanted, that was fine with me. Because unlike you mother fuckers, I actually love her.”

John caught Vince when he rushed towards Angel. “Fuck you Reyes! You don’t know half the shit we’ve done for our sister!” John held his younger brother back, as Angel remained seated, chuckling at his words.

“Settle down,” John pushed Vince back, narrowing his eyes at his younger brother. “Control yourself.” John faced the Mayans again. “Look, Theo was coming for her too. He visited her often during those two weeks, risking the ban that was thrusted upon him by the US government. He was trying to butter her up, apologize for his actions towards her all those years ago.” John remembered when he ran into Theo outside of the prison. He greeted him warmly, thanked him for killing his father. It was eerie, but he knew there was something hidden there. “Theo or Uncle Jin would have never let her rot in jail, so she picked the lesser of two evils as she put it. She would never want to go back to Theo after what happened.”

“So he did twist her arm.” Taza chuckled, shaking his head.

“The guy who is attached to your sister, who is he?” Gilly questioned, knowing any of Angel’s questions would cause the tension in the room to increase.

“A childhood friend of hers.” Vince kept it simple, he wanted to get the fuck out of here. Angel was getting on his last nerve since he was fucking right. They did this to Ailee and it was always her choice to stay here.

“Not her boyfriend?” Gilly continued.

“No, my sister doesn’t do relationships, but believe me, he’s been trying his best to make it happen.” Vince threw a smug look towards Angel. “Guess you’re not the only option she has.”

“Fuck you.”

“Alright, alright, we will let you discuss whether or not you’ll let Ailee use the tunnels. We’ll give you 500K a week for the inconvenience.”

“500 thousand dollars to use tunnels?” Bishop looked at John like he was insane.

“You’re doing us a favor, we take good care of people who help us.” John shrugged. “It was nice seeing you all gentlemen, hope you’ll stop by my sister’s coffee shop.”

With that said, John and Vince walked out, leaving the Mayans to discuss what their next step would be.

==============

Olivia sighed as she took off her glasses, rubbing her eyes. She’s been working on some freelance work since Maquina was quite stable in Europe right now. She finished programming this new app for a Netherlands based company regarding facial recognition. Finishing up the schematics, she sent it over for further development. She wasn’t heading the team and she much preferred it that way.

The coffee shop was now fully functioning, the grand opening was two days ago. She was surprised how many people came to the grand opening, but she figured they remembered Ailee when she was here a few years back. The knock on her door made her look at the clock as it was nearing midnight. EZ had a key to her place and so did Ailee, so it couldn’t be them. Getting the gun she had hidden at a secret compartment in the kitchen, the other two were in her room and bathroom, she made her way to the door. She looked through the peephole and it was Emily Galindo. Sliding the gun at the waistband of her jeans at the back, she opened the door.

“Emily, what are you doing here?” Emily walked past her. She looked distraught. Before she could close the door, someone cleared her throat. She looked back and it was Miguel. “Sorry Miguel.”

“No offense taken,” he gave her a tight smile, following his wife inside.

“Please, sit down.” Olivia instructed them to sit on the couches. “What has brought you two here?”

“We need your help.” Emily immediately replied. She closed her eyes, Miguel placing a hand over hers.

“We apologize for coming at such a late hour.” Miguel placed his hand on Emily's obvious distraught in her demeanor made Olivia antsy. She knew Emily due to EZ and Miguel due to a few freelance work she did for him. “As my wife said, we need your help with finding our son. We know of your ability with technology and hoped that you might be able to help us locate our son.”

Olivia heard of their son’s disappearance even though Miguel worked hard to keep it on the low. But then again, Maquina kept an eye on everything. They were sure Miguel’s son’s kidnapping would cause an uproar, so they were monitoring the situation.

“Your son has been taken?” Olivia tried her best to pretend that she had no knowledge of what was going on. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Yes, we were hoping you could use a software program you have to use the CCTV cameras to try and locate him.” Miguel suggested.

Olivia nodded her head. “My computer here wouldn’t be able to do it, but I can do it first thing in the morning when I get to my office.” She offered.

“Yes, of course, we understand. Any help is greatly appreciated. If it is any help, it seems the rebel group Los Olvidados took my son.” Miguel was doing all the talking as Emily appeared to be in a daze.

Olivia cussed in her head, knowing that this presented trouble. Ailee used the rebel group as a connection to Theo, but even Olivia knew that wasn’t possible. She implanted all the leads to get Maquina in Santo Padre in order to keep Melody protected.

“That definitely helps, thank you.” Emily mustered up a smile.

Before anyone else could speak, her door opened and EZ walked in, face hardened by Miguel’s guards up front. They all stood up upon seeing EZ’s arrival. Emily’s eyebrows furrowed, but she wasn’t surprised that EZ was staying with Olivia, of course he was.

“Ezekiel,” Miguel greeted. “We will be taking our leave, thank you again Olivia.”

Ezekiel moved out of the way, his eyes trained on Olivia, not even moving once towards the Galindo’s. Once they were outside, EZ closed the door, leaving him and Olivia in the apartment.

“What the fuck was that?” EZ questioned.

“Is Cristobal safe?” She asked him, knowing of his newfound connections with the rebels.

EZ sighed. “Yes, fuck, they asked you for help?”

“It won’t be difficult for me to track them down EZ.” Olivia warned him. “Tell Angel to talk to his girlfriend.”

“You know he’s not interested in Adelita, it’s a pure business relationship.” EZ knew his brother was still hung up on Ailee. No matter how hard his brother tried to move on, he held onto Ailee. Sure, he’s slept around, but he never became involved in another relationship.

“Of course,” Oivia nodded her head. “I’m just saying, warn her, it’s not hard to track them as much as they would like to think so.”

“How can you even do this?” EZ somewhat understood what Olivia did for a living. She was a tech genius, that was one thing he knew for sure. Beyond that? He couldn’t really tell you. She always told him she did freelance work all over the world, making software and apps for various companies. Yet, she stayed in Santo Padre. Her apartment was beautiful, but he knew she could live in a five bedroom home with the works if she wanted to do so.

When he was in Stockton, Olivia stayed nearby, living there till two years ago, when she moved back down to Santo Padre. It was good to see Olivia every day. She would tell him how she just visited Ailee and she would catch him up on her day. Truth be told, it was the only reason he was able to stay sane. Her daily visit was the dose of reality he needed.

“It’s not difficult Ezekiel. There are plenty of CCTV cameras around Mexico and along the border.” Olivia shrugged. “And I know how to access phone and computer cameras. It’s not very difficult.”

“For you, but for mere mortals as myself, that sounds like a pain in the ass.” EZ sat on her couch, Olivia following suit. She sat beside him, placing her legs on his lap.

“How was it today?”

“He burned a man and his kid alive.” EZ sighed. “It’s like Angel doesn’t care that this woman took Emily’s kid.”

“Give your brother credit, he cares, but he must trust her to know she won’t harm the kid.” Olivia leaned her side against the couch, her head enjoying the soft comfort of the couch. “It’s not ideal, but this is how you get powerful men like Miguel Galindo’s attention.” Olivia has seen it before, some ended well, others, not so much. This was a power play by the rebels, to show them that they weren’t as untouchable as they liked to believe. Rattle the foundation, so to speak. Again, Olivia had seen it before, it was a technique Maquina used quite often. “Is it more personal just cause it’s Emily’s kid?”

“Don’t go there, I can respect the fact she’s married.”

“Can you?” Olivia didn’t want to push EZ, but she doesn’t actually believe that EZ was over Emily. It has been eight years and it’s not like Emily made any effort to visit EZ after he pushed her way. She couldn’t blame her, but at the same time, she was married now, it was time to move on. She knew how Emily could be, manipulation was a woman’s game, she knew it wouldn’t be long before she came knocking on EZ’s door to request for his assistance.

“Liv, you know it’s done.” EZ knew why he held on to Emily, it was a part of his past that he’s had a hard time letting go of. He was trying, especially with Emily being married to Miguel, but it was hard. She was his first love, she went through an abortion alone and he would always be angry at the circumstances of the situation that didn’t let him have a child. He understood her choice, but it didn’t make it hurt any less.

“I’m just saying, I won’t judge, I’ve been there.”

EZ paused, looking over at Olivia. “You’ve been here? You’ve had your first love?”

“Not my first love, but I’ve had an ex that was difficult for me to let go of.” Olivia turned the television on.

EZ was slightly irritated at how nonchalant Olivia was being with the information she just dropped. Before he could make a comment, Olivia’s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and immediately swung her legs so she could stand up.

“Ciao!” She greeted whoever was on the phone.

Olivia walked away from EZ, leaving him the television remote. He could hear her in the kitchen, giggling and speaking to whoever the fuck she was speaking to at the middle of the night in Italian. The phone call lasted for an hour, which further annoyed EZ. She shouldn’t be talking to anyone this fucking late. Who the fuck was up this late besides psychopaths? She spoke Italian the whole time so it wasn’t like he could eavesdrop.

"I didn't know you can speak Italian." EZ commented when Olivia sat back next to him.

"I can speak seven languages, Ezekiel. You know this." Olivia furrowed her eyebrows at his words. He sounded upset and she wasn't exactly sure as to why he was. "You would like Leo, he's really nice and hilarious. He's just like Alex, except he doesn't have the weight of a crime organization on his shoulders."

Olivia has disclosed to EZ about the Leon’s. She was friends with them along with Ailee. At times, she would tag along with Ailee to Europe, which annoyed EZ since that meant he was stuck with Angel the whole summer.

"You mean Lee's Dildo?" And now EZ didn't feel bad referring to him as such since Leo sounded like a fucking tool.

"Wow, calm down their Angel." Olivia teased. "I've told you about Leo before, remember, my ex from Italy?"

"You're what now?” EZ wasn’t an idiot, he knew Olivia had ex-boyfriends, but she never referred to Jamie as her boyfriend. For a few years, she didn’t visit him every day and would come by every month or so. It annoyed EZ, but he couldn’t exactly be upset at her, she had a life to live as well. But she rarely spoke to him about the guys she dated, except for this one guy Leo. Again, she never referred to him as her boyfriend, but she mentioned him frequently.

“My ex-boyfriend, I’ve told you about him before.” Olivia was certain she did, it would be hard not to since she was with Leo for almost four years. At the end, their relationship didn’t pan out since she refused to move to Madrid.

“You’ve never referred to him as your boyfriend.”

“Yes, I did,” Olivia paused, thinking for a moment. “Oh, maybe I didn’t, I just figured you would put two and two together. Anyway, he’s coming into town since he has a few things for Alexander to sign.”

“Wait, what does he have to do with Lee’s dildo?”

“He’s Alex’s younger brother.”

EZ chuckled and nodded his head. Who would have thought that a Leon would be a thorn to his side? It’s not like he had feelings for Olivia, but this prick seemed to be a waste of time for Olivia. They broke up, they should cut off all communications, there was no reason for Olivia to speak to him.

“Sounds like a prick to me.” EZ shrugged.

“What makes him sound like a prick?” Olivia questioned him, curious to his rationale.

“He’s Alexander’s brother, I’m sure it runs in the family.”

Olivia laughed. “Ezekiel Reyes, are you jealous?” EZ has never met Alexander and the only information he knew about Alexander was through Angel.

The Reyes men were so territorial.

“Jealous? Pfft,” EZ scoffed. “Jealous? Don’t be ridiculous. I'm just saying, if you two broke up, why be so, chummy?”

“Chummy? What are you fifty?” Olivia laughed harder. “Wow, you are jealous.” She wiped the tears in her eyes brought on by the laughter. “It’s okay baby Reyes, you’re still the apple of my eye.” She pinched his cheeks, EZ playfully pushing her hand away.

“Stop, you’re being obnoxious.”

Olivia hugged EZ from the side, resting her head on his chest. EZ wrapped an arm around her middle, pulling her closer. “It’s always been me and you, nothing is going to change that.”

“Yeah, not even your Italian dildo.”

Olivia laughed once again. She missed moments like this with EZ. She was happy that he was out.

Even if it added to her debt with Jin Rivera, she didn’t care. EZ was out of prison and he was going to remain that way.

==============

Angel walked in his apartment, still in disbelief at Galindo’s antics towards that innocent ice cream man and his child. He’s had his fair share of killing people, but that was too much. He completely believed in Adelita’s cause but at times, he felt that she didn’t care for the consequences of her actions or she didn’t think of what could happen. He was one to talk since he didn’t think of his actions as well, but he knew better than to fucking kidnap a cartel boss’ kid.

He plopped down the cough, jumping up when the light suddenly turned on in the kitchen. His gun was immediately out, but he lowered it when he saw Vince.

“Do you ever clean?” He moved his gun towards the other voice, who was John, who just walked out of the bathroom.

“What the fuck are you two doing here?” Angel placed his gun on his table. The last thing he wanted to do was talk to Ailee’s brothers.

“Hostile environment.” Vince chuckled, coming out of the kitchen with three beers.

“What is this? Social hour? Fuck you two.” Angel was still letting the information sink in that Ailee was a government agent, who fucking kills people for a living. He wasn’t judging her, but this was his Ailee. The one who couldn’t even fucking hold a gun. This couldn’t be true.

“Angel, we come in peace, if anything, we’ve come bearing gifts.” John sat down on his armchair, thanking Vince for the beer. “We held this information for you since we felt it would benefit you the most.”

Vince places a folder on the table, sliding it towards Angel. “You hungry?” He questioned his brother.

“I am quite starved.”

“I ordered pizza.”

Angel wanted to shoot these motherfuckers with how casual they were acting around him. He opened the folder and again there was Ailee’s profile, much like the one Creeper had the other day. He flipped the pages and stopped at a hospital record.

“Acute miscarriage,” Angel read out loud, the diagnosis sinking in. “No, no, this isn’t possible. She wasn’t, she,” Angel took a deep breath. “Please tell me this isn’t fucking real.”

John and Vince realize their mistake. Angel didn’t even know she was pregnant. They couldn��t rewind their actions now and they felt like idiots. Ailee was not going to be pleased.

“Fuck Angel, you didn’t know?” John looked at Vince who took out his phone, trying to find a way out of this one.

“Does it fucking look like I did?” Angel continued to browse through the documents. The birth certificate was what threw him out of a loop. “What’s this? She had a miscarriage.”

“Um, fuck.” John closed his eyes, running his hand over his short hair. “Ailee was pregnant with twins, and Theo gave her this drug that induces miscarriages. It induced one, and the other fetus hung on. She gave birth to a baby girl, Melody.”

“Melody was born with congenital hearing loss due to the chemicals in that drug. We made a cover story that she was adopted to throw Theo off.” Vince added. “If he knew that Melody was yours, he would harm her due to his hatred for you.”

Angel couldn’t hear anything else after that. Theo killed one of his children and Ailee kept his daughter from him.

Angry was not even the right word how incredibly furious he was. He didn’t give a fuck if Ailee’s dildo was around, she had some explaining to do and she couldn’t talk her way out of that one.

Each of all those areas ended up offered to unique stars before ultimately ending up in the hands of the actors who made them legendary.

And that is barely the to start with time a beloved Television character was almost performed by an individual else. You won’t feel how close these actors came to starring in some of your preferred Television set displays.

Katie Holmes was considered for the position of Piper Chapman on “Orange is the New Black.”

Before Taylor Schilling donned an orange jumpsuit to play Piper Chapman on the Netflix prison dramedy, Katie Holmes came near to nabbing the section. In 2014, sequence creator Jenji Kohan told E! that she spoke to Holmes about the role, but that the actress was fully commited to other jobs at the time.

The purpose of Phil Dunphy on “Modern Family” just about went to Matt LeBlanc.

In 2017, Matt LeBlanc revealed that he was offered the lead job of Phil Dunphy on “Modern Family members,” but turned it down mainly because he felt he was not fairly right for the component. “I bear in mind looking through it wondering, this is a truly very good script, (but) I’m not the person for this,” the actor informed United states of america Right now. “I’d be undertaking the project an injustice to choose this. I know what I can do, I know what I just can’t do.”

Right after he declined, the part went to Ty Burrell, who has since won two Emmys for the position.

“Mad Men” administrators seemingly desired Thomas Jane to engage in Don Draper rather of Jon Hamm.

“Mad Men” followers may come across it practically unattainable to picture everyone but Jon Hamm taking part in Don Draper, but it turns out he was not even a frontrunner for the role.

“The casting directors did not know who I was. I wasn’t on anybody’s lists,” the actor exposed on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast. “The humorous point was, I think they went to Thomas Jane for it, and they were being instructed that Thomas Jane does not do television. “

Hamm racked up 7 consecutive Emmy nominations (such as a single earn) for his functionality on the AMC drama.

Connie Britton was seemingly in thing to consider to be Olivia Pope on “Scandal.”

When Shonda Rhimes was functioning to forged the ABC drama just after it received picked up to pilot, community executives reportedly instructed her it would be “the great display for Connie Britton.”

“I mentioned, ‘It would be, besides Olivia Pope is black,’” Rhimes recalled to The Hollywood Reporter.

Kerry Washington eventually secured the role, producing her the first African-American woman direct in a network drama in just about 40 a long time.

Walter White could have been played by Matthew Broderick rather of Bryan Cranston.

Bryan Cranston received mind-boggling important acclaim – and 4 Emmys – for his masterful portrayal of Walter White in AMC’s “Breaking Lousy,” but believe that it or not, he practically did not get the part.

However sequence creator Vince Gilligan pushed for Cranston from the begin, network executives and producers reportedly had difficulties envisioning the “Malcolm in the Middle” actor in the position and wished large-title motion picture stars, like Matthew Broderick or John Cusack, as an alternative.

In accordance to the Hollywood Reporter, equally of these actors passed, and the community inevitably arrived all-around to the idea of Cranston as the lead. The rest is award-winning Television set heritage.

Courteney Cox just about played Rachel as a substitute of Monica on “Friends.”

The casting of “Friends” was challenging, as the show’s achievements was solely dependent on receiving the appropriate mix of actors to enjoy the 6 core roles. In get to get it right, producers did a good deal of auditioning and even shuffled specific actors among distinct roles, as was the scenario with star Courteney Cox.

“We originally supplied Rachel to Courteney Cox,” co-creator Marta Kauffman told Vanity Honest in 2012. “But she reported she desired to do Monica, not Rachel.” Jennifer Aniston was afterwards solid in her breakout position as Rachel Eco-friendly.

Even though he didn’t get the aspect, his audition made an perception, and producers later identified as the actor to join the show as Ramsay in year three.

“This will explain to you how a lot I love to fish. I experienced a 10-working day fishing journey planned … And my agent states, ‘We have to test, and they genuinely like you, and this, this, and that.’ And I claimed, ‘Oh, I’m meant to go on a fishing trip’… And he’s like, ‘OK, yeah, so? I imply, this is a significant point,’” the actor claimed. “And I explained, ‘You know what? I’m likely to do my fishing excursion.’”

CBS was on a scorching streak that proceeds to this working day,” he wrote in his reserve, “Love Everyday living,” of the decision. “Although ‘Grey’s’ was a substantially much better script, I chose ‘Dr. Vegas.’ The odds were just way too stacked.”

More Returns

Here's a superb podcast on Peaks. May 30 is the most recent episode. A great listen. Counter Esperanto Podcast: Tangents About Twin Peaks: 10th Secret: The Return

On Tue, Jun 13, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Dom wrote: I'll check it out tonight.

So my Diane prediction was on the fucking money.

I got another theory I'm working on.

Who's the mysterious billionaire? I heard some people say it may be Audrey Horne. I heard some people say it is Jack (John Justice Wheeler). I heard some people say it is Phillip Jeffries or Evil Cooper.

Put on your tinfoil hat for this one. The Billionaire is Leo Johnson. He lived through his spider ordeal. Then he took everything that Windom left behind (notes, computer files, other assorted Windom things) and built a criminal empire. I find it very hard to believe that the fucking casting director's son who was in the 1st two seasons and the fucking movie is NOT in this one.

The secret history of twin peaks tells us what happens to a bunch of characters like Leo. For instance Hank dies in prison. But not one word in the book about Leo? I got to believe that he lives and he’s not just a slobbering fool any more. I know this is probably not going to happen. But that's my theory.

I cannot imagine Leo is a rich billionaire — how did he make his money? A theory that makes sense I’ve heard on EW TP podcast that it could be BOB-Cooper attempting to catch Good Cooper if he ever left the Lodge. But really, I have no idea… not as of end of P7.

I like how Lynch-Frost are using all official Twin Peaks releases as canon to draw the narrative from — Laura’s Diary, FWWM, Missing Pieces of blu-ray edition, as well as many classic episode threads.

And like Erik, I KNOW, that Sheriff Harry S. Truman will make an appearance in this season. I feel it in my bones.

It’s looking grim for Harry — or rather, it sounds grim from Frank saying to Harry, “beat this thing.” But actually I can see Ontkean coming out of retirement to have a role toward the end of the series. I also (want to) believe Josie returning … maybe she’s the billionaire, but why would she make such a contraption mounted to the side of building?

On Sun, Jun 25, 2017 at 2:26 AM, Erik wrote: Good Morning Gents. Grab a cup a joe and settle down a minute. I got some backed up information for yous … << Starts Tape Recorder…. >>

Spot on is right Mr Domi. You got that Diane was Laura Dern AND that she drinks at the Pub we went to. I even want to say she is seated in the area of the bar that we were sitting at that night. Glad it wasn't raining when we went, "FUCK Gene Kelly, You mother fucker!!" LOL I love Albert, he is my favorite this season. (Location: Max Von's Bar = Casey's Irish Pub, 619 South Grand, LA)

So Episode 7 should have shut up all those whiner's and complainer's of Ep 6. There was a lot of hate on the internet, and even in our FB Group, about that episode. I was ok with it. I did not like the scene with the kid getting hit by the truck, but the scene ended with the Fat Trout Telephone pole, so I'm ok with it.

"Lynch has gotten flak for the male gaze in his work, but the problems go a lot deeper than lingering shots on female anatomy.…” Laura Hudson in Vulture.

Also in EP 6 we finally got two major new pieces of music from Angelo, not his best work, but still great to hear. The overall lack of his music is my biggest complaint this season in case I didn't make that clear.

When Johnny Jewel's Windswept first appeared, I thought that was Badalamenti finally debuting new music. I was definitely disappointed it was not Angelo, no disrespect to Johnny. But I agree with you Erik about no AB original score. That music is what made classic Peaks so memorable. I don’t get why Lynch is using such popular music. There really wan’t any such tracks in FWWM, it was Angelo’s music and further cemented Peaks as evergreen. Lynch is acting like Scorcese in the epic cinematic story… and he doesn’t need to. Marty did not have a Badalamenti in his arsenal. Lynch does. Please use him.

EP 7...There's a body alright.. is definitely the shit. Now we are cooking. Jerry!!!! Come out of it man... Lets get Ben and Jerry back in action, not disfunction. The diary pages, Annie's message from FWWM, Leland hiding pages, DIANE from hell! ... Bringing it all back home.

There’s a dark undercurrent with Diane and Cooper. All signs are indicating something very bad happened to Diane. I think BOB-Cooper raped her.

I wonder where Frank Truman was at the time of Laura's murder? He says he remembers Leland, her father, did it, but is not really familiar with the case. BUT why the heck is Frank not asking "So what is "the Lodge" you keep talking about?” Hawk?

The way Hawk talks so knowledgable about both Lodges and the way Frank does not question or disbelieve him, then it must be common knowledge among the indigenous culture. Wonder if Frank is a Bookhouse Boy?

Ancient Doc Hayward, kinda sad, but he was still funny. Did you catch his Skype name? MiddleburyDoc... Warren Frost was actually living in VT right? They probably actually did just Skype him and screen capture it…lol

I caught that right away about Warren Frost’s Skype handle. And no doubt, Frost stayed in Vermont to do his scene. That just recorded the screen.… I do miss Briggs. Yet he died long before Lynch-Frost’s three-year tenure writing the new story, they had plenty of time to work the presence of him into the story.

Briggsy.. Oh Major Briggs. how we miss thee. Should be interesting how this plays out. And When the hell are we going to go back to I bet the road where Andy is waiting to meet the Truck owner is up there at Frankln Canyon Pond.

The Dog Leg.... WTF? Is Joe McCluskey the guy that rigged the car and Mr C Killed earlier on? I do think the Psycho Little guy with the Ice Pick and Gun is kinda silly. Over the top for no reason. Oh well.… It's kinda silly also that no one has taken Dougie to the Doctor. Everyone just plays along. we have to suspend disbelief I guess.

OMG enough with the guy sweeping at the Roadhosue. Is this all the extra time he told Shotime he needed more money for to tell the story properly? lol and more music used in hundreds of shows and commercials. I love Booker T and the MGs don't get me wrong, but ... UGH I miss you Angelo... Also... Kinda weird to see Jean Michel... Did Jacque Renault have a twin brother? lol Mr. C and Ray getting out of Prison.. Bad stuff gonna happen. I think they might have used San Bernadino County Jail for this locaton. The Cell block Cooper is located on looks familar. I will compare some screen grabs from my Locaton and Publicity Photos we took for Beyond Scared Straight at that jail.

And beause they needed to pad the ending to get to the alloted running time... Back to the RR Diner for the end scene, and yet another over-used stock song they probably had to pay more to use than what they paid Angelo for everything. Plus, I liked that song better when they used it in the X-files episode “Home" but No, I'm not bitter.

General notes: Glad Naomi Watts has such a big part. She really owns her scenes. Wish Jennifer Jason Leigh was more present but Mr C just left Jail for somewhere... It's slightly brilliant how Lynch (but probably Frost came up with it) still has made Harry a character in the show. even if only on the phone and never even heard. I feel like Harry is there kinda. Also brilliant... Robert Forrester.... wow. Wish he was in the original or the movie. Not sure how I feel with Dern as Diane. I'll go with it and see what happens.

Outstanding questions for me....(cause I haven't been reading blogs or listening to podcasts)

What is up with all the Arthurian Legend references? Dougie lives on Lancalot Court, down the street from the Merlin Market. Janey-E meets for the ransom drop on the corner of Gueneivere and Merlin. And of course, Glastonbury Grove... Pete Martel: "King Arthur's burried in England!"

Why is it when Dougie puts his thumb up or his hand out to shake, he turns his body 180 degrees?

What is up with the creepy guy (from Mulholland Diner scene) in the Vegas Office? I can't seem to catch his meaning in the story line.

What is up with Cooper's Room Key from the Great Northern? If has finally made it back to Ben Horne...Soooo?

One last question... Did Lynch quit smoking? He made two references to people (Gordon Cole even) quitting. Did we ever even see Cole smoke in the series or movie? weird for him to say he quit when the character never smoked on camera. "You think about that Tammy."

On Jun 25, 2017, at 4:29 PM, Dom wrote: I think Frank Truman was a police officer in Seattle during Laura's investigation if I remember the book correctly. But I think that a "Sheriff Truman" has been in power for over 60 consecutive years now between the 2 brothers and their father. It sort of like there must always be a Stark in Winterfell.

To my knowledge that was the first time ever we have heard name Joe McCluskey. I have no clue who that is. But I have a feeling we will learn.

Yea, I don’t recollect Joe McCluskey. Gotta watch again to see if he first appears or is mentioned earlier.

I think Ike the Spike is either from the black lodge or an agent of the black lodge. Remember he smelled "funny" per the little girl.

Spike did look a little monstery, his teeth especially.

I actually loved that scene of the sweeping. I could just imagine everyone watching was freaking out and I enjoyed that. And I thought that Walter did some great acting while on the phone as Jean-Michel. "He owes me for two!"

That ending scene from the RR diner was weird as shit. Its either the worst continuity error of all time or something truly weird happened there. Completely different set of people dining there after David Lynch's son runs in and asks if anyone has seen Billy.

Lynch did not quit smoking. He, like Harry Dean are lifers.

Both Laura Dern and Naomi Watts are killing their roles. Both doing a fantastic job. I just cannot wait to see them come face to face over Dougie.

And MacLachlan! All his Cooper iterations are really well done. I love that BOB-Cooper character. Can’t wait to see what trouble he kicks up now!

My new tin foil theory is that we may be dealing with 2 Twin Peaks. Twins of each other if you will. I'm still working this one out. Different versions of the same town in different universes a part of a greater multiverse?

Did you notice Andy was wearing a rolex? Kind of weird.

…And he was supposed to meet the guy at 4:30. Is that one of the numbers from ????? ?

The guy from the Vegas office is working directly for Phillip Jeffries or whoever is pretending to be him IMO.

Don’t overlook the black soot guy walking in the hallway toward the female FBI agent in the morgue. I think it’s related to the guy next to Bill Hastings cell.…

Lots of Arthurian Legend stuff from way back when. I never got that. But its seems to be very important. I would love to go to Merlin's Market.

During the end credits from the last episode buried in the music is Windham Earle's theme mixed into the background too!!!!!

I might try headphones for tonight’s part to see exactly what sounds I miss. I know there’s a lot of low audible noise and rumbling that I don’t hear when our apartment is 86º and the fan is going.…

On Jun 25, 2017, at 8:10 PM, Dom wrote: Some last minute thoughts...

Yeah I agree about MacLachlan is killing it and should win an Emmy for best actor. Black soot guy is awesome and its the same dude for sure from the jail cell. Some people seem to think we have seen him a third time as a homeless man outside of Vegas at the Rachera Rosa is whatever it is called. I don't think that we did. I will need to re-watch that again. Another tin foil hat theory. On those three pages from Laura's diary she refers to knowing who it is and that its not Bob. At least everyone thinks she is referencing Leland. That is probably most right. However I am thinking that she is referring to an evil more powerful and sadistic than even Bob.Like whatever came out of the glass box and mutilated those younglings.

On Jun 25, 2017, at 8:17 PM, Erik wrote: > "Yea, I don’t recollect Joe McCluskey."

I am thinking if the guy in the diner eating food non-stop the whole scene with Ray and the chick Mr C shot in the head. Just before he kills her, he tells her "i killed joe, and the she freaks out, knowing the gig is up. The previous scene the eating guy "joe" does something to a car in storage and then cooper like squeezes his face for a whole minute. Could be McCluskey?

> "Lynch did not quit smoking."

Well, its mighty fine of him to send a non smoking message to all the youths. Considering Cole does not smoke, it is a conscious message.

> "All his Cooper iterations are really well done."

Yes, Kyle will def get an Emmy nomination. Dern and Watts will also I predict.

> “RR diner was weird as shit. Its either the worst continuity error of all time or something truly weird happened there.”

There are no accidents on a Lynch set. If an error occurs and he likes it he will use it. So who knows why he did it. On the same level as the windows flashing code on the FBI jet. He is throwing out decoys i feel.

> “then it (the Lodge) must be common knowledge among the indigenous culture.”

Then why the heck is Truman not like "well lets go up there" nor does Hawk tell him he was up in those woods when Log Lady last called.

> “Don’t overlook the black soot guy walking in the hallway”

Nope, I did not mention him cause i consider it another decoy. Kinda like the shambling being behind the diner in Mulholland Drive...never came up again. i am sure he will play a part at some point.

But i did forget to mention the playing card Mr. C showed the girl in the hotel bed before he shoots her. Aliens? Very well could be.

Have a good viewing. The damn internet saying EP 8 is extra noteworthy. Could it be Phillip Jeffries? Windom Earl? More Leland and Laura? (I actually doubt we will see either of them again). Audrey? Big Ed? They got plenty of options.
