Chapter 251: Setting a Trap
Chapter 251: Setting a Trap
After breakfast, and gaining some easy points with Maria, Alex spoke with La Madre, who outlined her plans to take down Jalisco once and for all. She had met with all of her lieutenants, for two important reasons. One was the discussion of this operation. But first she had to make another very important announcement.
“I gathered you all here today to make two announcements, the first of which is the promotion of our infamous El Cucuy to the rank of lieutenant. Nobody here can deny that he has been instrumental in the collapse of our rivals, and the dangerous position Jalisco now finds itself in.
He may be a golden-haired shit from north of the border, but he has proven himself to be a true Narco. So… you will now treat Alex the same you will as all my other Lieutenants. With that out of the way I will move onto the primary reason I called you all here…”
Alex could tell that La Madre’s “boys” were all giving him death glares. It had been less than a year since he found himself involved in this conflict, and already he had gained La Madre’s favor to where she gave him a prominent position in the organization.
But their hatred for him was cut out by the woman’s sultry voice as she explained their plans to eliminate their last true rival.
“Alright listen up boys, because I’m only saying this once. I’m going to be meeting up with that shit Ramirez… He wants his son and daughter alive and unharmed. The fool genuinely believes he is in such a position to negotiate. What he doesn’t realize is that he will be walking into a trap.
Alex here will lead the ambush. When Ramirez arrives with the other leaders of Jalisco, we’re going to take him out, and kill his little brats as well. It will be a permanent reminder to everyone in this country who is really in power! Am I understood?”
As if they were a military unit, the men who were tasked with leading Los Zetas all stood up at attention and responded in the affirmative.
“Yes, Ma’am!”La Madre then went on to explain the plan of their ambush in great detail. All the while, another discussion was taking place in a different part of Mexico.
—
Carmen was shocked when she heard the plan that the DEA had come up with in accordance to the moles they had inside both the Zetas and Jalisco. Apparently, a meeting was set up between the leaders of both Cartels where the exchange of the Ramirez family’s prince and princess would take place.
The Zetas apparently planned to wipe out their rival on the spot with an ambush, while Jalisco planned to do the same, completely disregarding the potential deaths of their prince and princess in the process. Both sides planned to betray one another in a bloody shootout.
But what neither of these two cartels realized was that the Mexican Marines would be surrounding their meetup with the intention of leaving no survivors. Once the leadership of the two remaining cartels were dead and buried, it would be a simple matter of mopping up the remnants and restoring law and order to the State of Mexico, something that had not existed in some time.
Carmen had to agree. The plan was bulletproof, and they had the advantage of knowing exactly what the other two parties were planning. While neither the Zetas nor Jalisco had men on the inside of this operation.
Thus, the mature beauty finished her coffee, and was quick to comment on the plan her superiors had come up with.
“It sounds a bit too good to be true… But if the intelligence is properly vetted, then I can’t wait to take part in this bloodbath!”
Despite her rather crazed words, nobody batted an eye at Carmen. Most of the men and women here had lost friends or loved ones to the Cartel, and this was the perfect chance to get rid of the Mexican Drug Cartels once and for all! They all shared the same sense of bloodlust that was overwhelming Carmen’s heart and mind right now.
Unfortunately for her, her superior took her aside and gave her a private mission, but only after he had dismissed the rest of the attendees to this meeting.
“Carmen… You’re not going to be in the ambush…”
The mature beauty was outraged over this idea, and immediately tried to persuade her superior otherwise.
“What the hell are you talking about? Of course I’m taking part! Sir, I need to be there to avenge my partner’s death! I won’t be able to move on until I do!”
There was a look of sympathy on the middle-aged man’s face as he nodded his head in understanding of Carmen’s desires, but he was quick to shut her down, regardless.
“I’m sorry Carmen… But we all have our orders, and yours come from someone way above my paygrade… You are to get that little brat they call El Cucuy as far from the firing line as possible. He’s not supposed to make it to this exchange…”
Carmen immediately misunderstood what she was being told to do and wore a sadistic grin as she nodded her head in agreement with her “orders.”
“I understand what you mean sir, don’t worry, I’ll take care of the bastard…”
Carmen’s eager desire to Kill Alex was obvious. She hated the man more than anything. Though La Madre was the one who ordered Carmen’s partner killed, she was just trying to protect Alex. He was the man to blame for this tragedy.
Naturally, her superior could tell what Carmen’s intentions were, and sighed as he shook his head before lecturing the woman on what he meant by his words.
“No… Carmen, you don’t understand… That brat has ties to some very powerful people in Washington. He’s not supposed to be harmed… In fact, he’s not even supposed to be identified as the Zetas Lieutenant known as “El Cucuy”. You are to escort him to safety, so he can be extracted back to the US where he will be released as if nothing ever happened here in Mexico.”
Carmen’s expression dropped as she struggled to understand her orders. She just simply couldn’t believe they were letting Alex go after all the damage he had done here in Mexico, and she was quick to protest this decision.
“You can’t be serious! With all due respect, sir, this man is a murderer, and a fucking Narco! He needs to die!”
The middle-aged man sighed heavily once more while he nodded his head, agreeing entirely with Carmen’s sentiment. His next words, however, were quite chilling as he reminded Carmen who she worked for.
“Like I said, Carmen, we all have our orders. And if you think of disobeying them, and doing something stupid, then I should let you know it won’t just be your neck on the chopping block. You of all people should know what happens when you piss off those in power…”
After saying this, the middle-aged DEA officer walked away, leaving Carmen in a conflicted state.
