From Here On Out Part 1

Gabi sits in her hotel room in El Paso, Texas with nothing to do but think. She starts to thumb through her wallet when she finds a picture of herself, Antonio, and Ricardo. *This was before all the turmoil I caused* , she thinks to herself.

*Oh, god how could I do that to them,..to Ricardo.* "I know exactly what I have to do...."

She gets out a pen and a pad of paper and starts to write. "Ricardo deserves to know the truth."

A few days later......

Ricardo arrives home from work and tosses his mail on the counter.

He then hears the phone ring and hurries to pick up.

"Gabi....." "No, Ricardo, its me," Carmen replies.

Ricardo: "Mama, what is it?"

Carmen:"I need to see you right away, its about....Gobbie."

Ricardo: "Oh, mama, I don't want to come over and have you tell me that there is another man in her life. Or if its about the stupid cards, I don't want to know."

Carmen:*I have to get him over here, as she holds the tape of her baby Antonio being seduced by Gobbie.* "No, its not about that...I think I can help you find her."

At this Ricardo is suddenly very interested. "Are you serious?"

Carmen:"Oh, very."

Ricardo:"I'll be right over, oh shoot I forgot something at the station and I have to go get it."

Carmen:"Ok, I'll be waiting..."

Ricardo hangs up the phone and walks out the door towards the station.

At the station in the file room....

Antonio is going through some files, desperatly looking for a clue to Gabi's whereabouts. He finds her profile and pulls it out.

Antonio:"Shoot, I can't look at this now, I have to get back to the mission."

As he starts to sneak out, he runs directly into his brother.

Ricardo:"T, what are you doing here?"

Antonio:"Um,..."

Ricardo:"Never mind, I think I know..."

He looks down and sees the profile in Antonios hand.
