BaltasarIt's time for me to start pulling my weight in the Suarez clan-to prove I'm worth more than the plays I make on the field or the dirt I dig up on rival families.

SimonI needed to get the hell out of Big City.The only reason I was living in this American wasteland was because my mother insisted I reconcile with my estranged father.
