and his demand that we
take Claudia back to him.
“Bruno, aqui pronto (over here, hurry),” yells el Gato. He
wants to start counting the money before completing the transaction. I need
to make sure that the bottom of the pile is also money .
Bruno sprints over to the table. He slides his gun in his
waist.
Bruno starts counting the money. It takes a little while to
count all the money. It’s not easy to count ninety million dollars in hundred
dollar bills
Finally el guey is done. He’s anxious to get the transaction
over with.
I don’t like how El Gato keeps licking his lips. He looks
at Claudia like a fine piece of meat , muses Christopher.
This is too much. I really hope that Claudia truly means
to resign or to change to an office desk position after this mission. I don’t
ever want to be the one to be with her if anything awful happens in any deal ,
thinks Christopher.
“Todo bien (everything good),” says Bruno. He zips up the
duffle bags and gets ready to take them.
“Okay,” says Christopher, smiling. “Take the money and
disappear.”
“Si,” agrees El Gato. He walks towards the table to get one
of the duffle bags. He approaches the table and quickly turns to shoot
Christopher in the side, right between the right ribs and stomach, missing any
major organs.
The vest is not covering that portion of his body.
Christopher falls down onto the filthy ground. He shoots back, before blacking
out from the blow that el Gato gives him.
Everything happens quickly and Claudia takes aim.
El Gato turns around as Claudia aims, ready to shoot him,
when Bruno knocks her out.
El Gato quickly scoops her up and takes her to the car. “Vamanos pronto (lets go, hurry), gueys,” yells el Gato.
He rests Claudia in the back seat with one guey. El Gato goes
to sit in the front on the passenger side.
The guey in the back seat with Claudia immediately sees her
diamond stud earrings. He takes them off.
Yes, these are amazing and my woman will just love them ,
thinks Lucas. He puts the stud earrings in his pocket before el Gato sees him.
The driver in the car quickly pulls out of the garage. He
turns onto the dirt road, going a hundred miles an hour.
Two of the gueys from the car spring to help Bruno get the
bags. They grab the duffle bags full of money.
One guey turns and aims at Christopher’s chest. He shoots
him. Yeah, we have to make sure that this guey is dead , thinks the guey.
He then sprints to the truck, jumping inside the front seat,
laughing.
Christopher is bleeding from the shot in the side and is
unconscious.
There are shots coming from the roof top as the FBI agents
instantly figure out that the transaction has gone bad.
The FBI agents realize that the gueys are taking the
ammunition and money. “ICE, the elements are taking the money and we have no
communication from agent Rosas or agent De La Cruz,” says FBI agent Waterford.
“Get in the warehouse and tell me what’s happening! Agents
King, Landers, Edwards, Chin, and Anderson follow the truck and car. Terminate
the elements if needed,” barks out ICE.
He paces back and forth in the conference room. This is a
nightmare. It should’ve gone down nice and smooth , deliberates Ice.
“ICE, agent Rosas has been shot and is unconscious. We think
he’ll make it, but it looks like they took agent De La Cruz,” says FBI agent
Waterford, with alarm in his voice.
“The paramedics are on the way,” says ICE. He’s trying to
keep control of the situation.
The director ICE is frustrated with the events that are
taking place. The FBI agents are a few minutes behind the drug Cartel. These
few minutes can be crucial for Claudia’s safety.
They have Claudia and Christopher is hurt in the
warehouse. Damn those bastards! We need to get Claudia away from the cartel
before she gets hurt , thinks Ice. He turns, with anger, and smashes his
fist into the wall.
“Agents King, Landers, Edwards, Chin, and Anderson we need
you to stop the car!
