Hesitation fills me as we pull up to the gate. I give her thigh a squeeze. The metal moves opening access to the home in front of us. This doesn’t feel right.

In my gut, I want to turn the bike around and drive off with Yesnia. She came with me on her own accord. Well, if one could consider her mother being stuck with a criminal and telling her she needs her as her own accord, then yes she came willingly. Funny, I was forbidden to coerce Yesnia onto my bike, but all along Javier Almanza had the power and he knew it. If someone held my mother, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave with a stranger headed to ten-buck-two if that’s what it took. For the man to worry about me forcing or coercing is a joke considering the lengths he went to in order to make this shit happen.

I have a job to do. I have to tune out all of my emotions.

This is not my business. Family problems and relationship counseling is not my job.

Pushing down the thoughts, the feelings, and everything inside of me that is screaming something isn’t right, I press on.

Twisting the throttle, we go forward.

My stomach churns. Bile rises in my throat. I’m unsettled.

One ride.

One job.

One task.

Get it done.

Parking, I hold out my hand as she climbs off. I give her a minute to steady herself knowing after a long ride like this your legs feel unsteady. Once I know she’s stable, I move to climb off myself.

It’s dark outside. We have been on the road for eleven hours, forty-eight minutes with only one stop for food and three for bathroom needs. Yesnia has taken every bump, turn, and curve in stride. For a while it felt like she was born to be on the back of my bike. Alas, none of it is real. She’s with me because I was hired to deliver her. After this, there is very little chance I will see the Latina beauty again.

I don’t like the feeling in the pit of my stomach. I don’t like the way any of this is going down, but I’m not here to say what’s right or what’s wrong.

Yanking off my helmet, I secure hers in my saddlebags before letting my own fall to the ground. I take her by the hand and stop her from going to the steps.

“Yesnia, you don’t have to do this. I told you before, I can keep you safe.”

“No, I need to face him. For my mother, I have to do this.”

The determination in her eyes takes away all my worries. This woman is strong. She’s fierce. She’s resilient. I can read it all in her face. She’s going to do whatever she has to in order to survive.
