Looking through my grandmothers closet clearing, I was tasked with clearing out unwanted belongings. After hours of cleaning, I found a peculiar tan box. Opening it, I gasped as I saw pictures being filled to the brim. The pictures were old, worn out, blurred, having to squint to make out the picture. Looking through the photos, I come across a man I’ve never seen before. The picture looked older than the rest of the photos in the box.

It was a hot day as usual in Miami, but it was not an ordinary day in the life of Lorenzo and her father.

Mikey Castaneda had changed his life decades ago. He was sure Marci wouldn't have liked the person he had once been. He had been one mean son-of-a-bitch who thought nothing of cold cocking anyone that pissed him off; knocking a man down and then, kicking that same poor bastard with steel-toed boots, until he was unconscious. And he had proven that many times in prison, after he was sentenced to three years, for assault with a deadly weapon.

It was a Sunday afternoon and El Pablo’s older brother, Sergio, was trapped in the corner of a brick wall. El Pablo was holding a gun to his head while the sweat ran down Sergio’s forehead. El Pablo was a top class criminal who was very talented, cold blooded, sneaky, and deceiving. He had recently left his brother stranded in Texas after their delivery of 500 pounds of marijuana. El Pablo was holding the revolver to his head with his finger on the trigger. He contemplated pulling the trigger; internally he was questioning Sergio’s value.

Within one hundredth of a second it had penetrated his head. El Pablo’s brother was dead.
