Antonio is sitting at his desk at the mission staring at the phone trying to will it to ring. Spence had called him 30 minutes earlier indicating that he should know shortly where Gabi was by tracing her credit cards. The last 30 minutes had been pure torture for Antonio. He kept looking at his watch every other minute, unwilling to calm himself due to the anticipation he was feeling. He finally gets up and start pacing the office, running his fingers through his hair furiously unable to think straight. Why would Gabi just leave like that? He wanted answers from her. He would not be able to put her or anything behind him until he knew why Gabi so abrubtly left his Ricardo's life....and his. He rethinks back to Ricardo and Gabi's wedding day and how he was willing to accept Gabi with Ricardo. He had been ready to deal with their sharing a life together. It would have been difficult but with time he knew he could at least learn to see them together. He would always love Gabi, that was something he could never rid himself of. Gabi was a part of him and no one, not even his love for Ricardo, could end that. As his mind continued to race, the phone rings. Antonio knocks trips over a chair in an effort to grab the phone on the first ring. "Hello...Spence?" He says. "Yeah, Father, it's me. I think I've located Gabi. At least, I know where she's used her her credit card the last week." Antonio listens impatiently. "WELL, WHERE IS SHE!!" He practically yells over the phone. He realizes that he came off abrubt by Spence's silence on the other end. "I'm sorry Spence, it's just that I am desperate to find her....for Ricardo...you understand." "Yeah, Father, I get ya. Ricardo has been a mess ever since Gabi left him. If it wasn't for this murder case we're all working on, he'd be a lot worse. I feel really bad for him." Antonio listens to Spence's words and they cut like a knife. This is his doing. If it hadn't been for that one night when he and Gabi gave in to their desires, Gabi and Ricardo would be together and his brother would be happy. The guilt washed over him like water over a bridge. He couldn't stand it. He had destroyed his brother, but he couldn't help what he was feeling, neither could Gabi. "Father , are you still there?" Spence says. Antonio had been in thought for awhile. He shakes his head as he snaps back into the converstation. "Where is she Spence?" "Well, looks like Gabi has been using her card extensively at this motel in Blanco, Texas....it's called the rotary. Does that mean something to you? Now that i think about it, isn;t that where Gabi is from?" Antonio hits his head with his hand. OF COURSE! Gabi went back home. How could he not have thought of this in the first place? He feels such relief to have found this information. Now he can see her, be near her...and talk to her about what really drove her away. "Spence, thanks I owe you big. Can you give me the phone number on the printout? I need to talk to her for Ricardo. I'm gonna try and see if I can work things out between them." " A little heavenly intervention huh?" Spence says and laughs softfly. Antonio winces at this. "Yeah I guess you could say that." Anotnio and Spence both say goodbye and Antonio slumps in his chair, staring at the number in front of him. A smile slowly creeps up on his face as he thinks of seeing Gabi once again. His heart races so fast he feels like it will puncture through his chest. He slowly picks up the phone and dials. Now Gabi would not be able to escape him. He has made a decision and he needed Gabi to know what he wanted to do. "Rotary Inn, Kelly speaking." "Yes, could you give me directions to your location......."

Gabi has been roaming around the town of Blanco for the past 2 hours and that was a long time to take to walk throughout this whole town. It was very small. Only 3000 people inhibited the town. Gabi had always hated town but it was her hometown and it was the only place she could think of that she belonged. As she walks through the streets, looking through the various windows of all the stores on Main St., she remembers doing the same thing with her father, Lorenzo....before he hurt her. Gabi shakes her head as she tries to forget the memory of her father. Instead, she replaces him with thoughts of Ricardo. She thinks back to when she met Ricardo, so long ago. She thinks back to how he made her feel even back then. He was so handsome, debonair, and so sure of himself. The confidence he possessed was so evident that she had found herself wanting to acquire that same security. Her intentions had been to use him, but instead she had fallen for him. Without warning, Ricardo Torres had crept into her heart...something she never thought would be possible. Gabi never knew she could love someone more than herself. She was a selfish girl and she wanted what her sister had. Above all, her love life. How was she to know that Ricardo would change her life forever. How was she to know that he would feel a love so great for her. It was inconceivable to Gabi that it would happen. But it had. Ricardo had loved her for her and understood her when no one else had and she thought she owed him her life for that. How wrong she had been. Gabi had misjudged her feelings for him all along. She did love him. She loved him so much that she didn't know how she would go on without Ricardo in her life. Her time away from him made her reflect back on what she had had with Ricardo. She reflected back on all the good times they had had together. As Gabi turns the corner to go back to the motel, she opens her purse and pulls out the ring....her engagement ring. She kisses the ring and debates on putting it back in her purse. She decides to put it on her right hand index finger for now. That way she would give the impression she was getting married yet she would have a part of Ricardo always touching her. She needed that right now in order to pull through her depression. Gabi decides to say hello to Kelly before venturing to her cold, solitary room. She walks through the door and notices a man at the counter talking with Kelly. He has his back to Gabi and she vaguely recognizes his profile from behind. As she realizes who it is, he turns around. Gabi and Antonio lock eyes. Only their gaze keeps them standing. It's as if a piece of string holds their eyes together. Gabi's knees begin to buckle as Antonio approaches her....a stern worried look on his face. He begins to say something when Gabi instantly places her fingers on his lips. Gabi can only say, " I knew you would somehow find me......"
