Loco, Razer 8 (5 page)

The next day, Claudia is training with her partner
Christopher.

“Christopher, I’m thinking of resigning after this mission,”
says Claudia. “I’m tired of dealing with the scum.”

“Yeah, I’m thinking the same. I want to marry Veronica. It’s
time. We’ve been putting it off long enough. We’ve haven’t had time to even
discuss our plans. We only have a couple of days off and I have to also spend
time with my familia,” says Christopher. He wraps the towel around his neck.

“Okay, I don’t feel bad now. I felt like I was deserting
you,” says Claudia, grinning.

“Yeah, thanks for the heads up. This makes it even easier to
leave the Bureau. I didn’t want you to have to get another partner,” replies
Christopher.

They walk out of the gym to take a shower. “I’ll see you in
the classroom,” says Claudia, walking into the women’s rooms.

“Okay,” says Christopher. He strolls into the men’s rooms.

Oh wow,
I missed my appointment for the pregnancy
shot. I don’t have time to get it now. This mission should be over in a few
days. No worries,
thinks Claudia, shrugging.

A couple weeks later, Claudia is packing her gear at her
temporary apartment.
The FBI agency installed me in this apartment. I don’t
live here in this apartment. It’s just a front for the undercover that I’ve
been working on for the past year. I can’t believe it’s been that long.
Finally, we’re making some progress. I truly thought this mission would be over
by now. It’s had some delays.

I need to be ready by midnight to meet with the arms
dealer. The setup is in place. It’s been hard work but we’ve managed to
infiltrate into the dangerous world of drugs, arms, and death
.

Claudia finishes braiding her long brown hair into a French
braid. She’s naturally feminine and sexy. She has on her favorite black lace
bra and black lace bikini panties from Eve’s Pleasures.

She turns around and pulls on her black leather pants,
bullet proof vest under her black long sleeve t-shirt, black leather jacket,
and black leather boots. She slides a couple of knives into the black leather
boots that have special-made sleeves and a Glock in each boot.

Claudia also tucks a Glock at the small of her back in the
waist band of her leather pants. She slides a knife in the French braid and
some in her leather jacket. She’s loaded with weapons. The one weapon that she
has exposed is the one that she puts in the front of her side holster.

Christopher and I have made contacts and have achieved
our goal to get close to the arms dealer and drug Cartel. We’ve earned their
trust. The stage is set
.

Now, we have to go through the transaction which will be
recorded. After we’ve obtained the state-of-the-art ammunitions, we will wait
for the dealer to leave. We will wait with the ammunition cargo.

The entire FBI team will sweep in and capture the arms
dealer as he leaves the building,
she mentally reviews the plan.

Getting the terrorist to make a deal to sell the
sophisticated ammunition has been a feat. The terrorist wanted to get the
highest price for it and there have been a lot of negotiations. This has been a
real draining process. The negotiations have been completed and now, show time
is at midnight
.

This will be a great achievement for Christopher’s and my
careers, if this transaction is successfully completed. Not that it matters
anymore. I’m leaving the Bureau
, muses Claudia.

Gaining the trust to do business with us has been
accomplished by taking baby steps. After many transactions and much patience,
we’re finally able to get a big cargo of state-of-the-art ammunition.

Christopher and I have managed to achieve a double
infiltration. We also have gained the trust of the Mexican Cartel. We have
become the ammunition buyers for the Cartel. 

We’re posing as the Cartel’s minions to purchase
ammunition for the Cartel located in Mexico. The terrorists believe that the
state-of-the-art ammunition is being sold to the Mexican Cartel
.

Christopher feels like he has to always protect me even
if he knows that I can take care of myself. I know that Christopher sees me as
his hermana (sister)
.

Christopher Rosas and I went through training together.
We know each other’s weaknesses and strengths. We’ve been working together as
partners since graduating from the academy. We have gone through a lot of
undercover and work hazards that have made us bond. We’re close like hermanos.
We each know what the other is thinking when we’re in action and danger. We
have each other’s backs.

I’ve worked hard to be in the position I’m in. This has
not been pleasant. It’s tough to associate on any level with the garbage.
Calling them animals is too kind
.

The men that I have been dealing with are the scum of the
earth. They will stop at nothing to gain the money, the power that they want.
It doesn’t matter who they hurt or betray.

This has started to drain me; I have been feeling weary
of the endless amount of scum in the world. No matter how many are captured and
imprisoned, there’s always a new batch coming up
. 

These men are strong, mean, and soulless. These men are
eager to replace and seize whatever position there is available. These are men
that will do anything for power and will stop at nothing. Their goal is gaining
wealth, no matter what the price is or the sacrifice required.

The doorbell rings and Claudia strides quickly to open the door.
First, I need to make sure it is Christopher. You just never know. I need to
be careful, especially since show time is tonight
.

Si, it is Christopher and he’s ready to go
. She opens
the door and steps back. 

Christopher is wearing his favorite black tight leather
pants and jacket with black cycle boots. Christopher looks gorgeous. He has
green eyes, dark brown hair and a golden tan. He’s 6”2” and is trim, with a
lean body with just the right amount of abs and muscles to make the chicas’
mouths water. He’s definitely a man’s man.

Claudia opens the door. “You’re ready, good,” says Claudia.
She walks back to her room to close her duffle bag.

Christopher is right behind her ready to scoop up the bag
for her.
Geeze, he’s always doing that, like I can’t do it. I wonder if he
ever will stop babying me. I know he knows I can take care of myself. He’s my
partner
.

“Okay, Claudia, we need to get going to get ready for show
time. The crew is stationed a few blocks from the warehouse. We need to get the
special microphones and webcams on us. Come on, let’s go,” says Christopher. 

He turns, exits the room. He strides to the SUV, to the
front door. He throws her bag over the seat and into the back seat of the black
SUV, which has bullet proof glass and steel panels.

They both climb into the front seats. Driving down the
street, they look for anything that can be wrong, anything that can make the
entire operation shut down. The street looks clean. 

They drive to the location a few blocks from the warehouse
and drive through a gate that they have opened with the remote opener. Going
behind the warehouse, they push the automatic door opener and drive into the
warehouse. Christopher parks the SUV inside the warehouse.  

Getting out, they enter another building and quietly pass
clearance with the two guards stationed for security. Not a word is exchanged
by Christopher, Claudia, or the guards. 

They walk into the room located in the center of the
warehouse. It’s so well protected that when you approach it, you can’t see any
light filtering through the cracks. 

They knock on the door and wait for clearance. Claudia and
Christopher walk down a hallway and into a room where the Director and other
FBI agents are waiting. 

“Ready for action?” asks the Director Elliot Brown. Director
Brown, aka Ice, is well known for his cold-as-ice blood and attitude. He gets
the job done. Period! He’s 6’4” tall, with blonde hair and has incredible light
blue eyes that rarely, if ever, show emotions. He has the body of a weight
lifter, nothing but hard muscle, not an ounce of fat. “This is what we’ve been
working for. We will finally get that scum. Smith, put on the equipment.” 

Smith walks over to Claudia and Christopher.
Good thing
both of them have their ears pierced
, thinks Smith.

“This is a new device we’re trying out. The webcam is inside
the studs. We want both of you to wear the studs. We’ll be able to monitor from
each side of you. The studs are also a tracking device in case anything goes
down.

Claudia takes the studs and looks at them “They look like
real diamonds. Nice,” says Claudia, nodding. “Good thing you have your ears
pierced, Christopher. I think they’ll look cool on you, real sweet.”

“Yeah, I think they’re cool. They don’t look like anything
else but diamond studs. Brilliant,” says Christopher.

“Yes, they’re real awesome and the latest technology. The
stud’s stem works as an actual antenna. The small cam and speaker combination
is inside the stud that is made to look like the real diamond. It is very
remarkable,” says Smith, grinning.

He’s pleased with the new babies that he helped create.
“We’ll be able to see and hear everything. If the assignment goes down wrong
and you get snatched, we’ll be able to track you. We’ll be able to rescue you
quickly.”

Claudia and Christopher also are armed with firearms to use
for protection and to exterminate enemies, if needed.

“I want you two to make the transaction and get out of
there. I don’t want to blow your cover. We might need to use it on another
assignment planned for the other Cartel. Make it quick. As soon as you two exit
the warehouse we will burst in and clean the trash,” says Director Ice. “It
should all flow nice and smooth. Okay, ready to execute.”

Claudia and Christopher exit the room and head for the SUV.
They climb inside and quickly leave the warehouse. They head to the rendezvous.
Each of them is on a high dose of adrenaline. They’re excited that finally they
will be able to finish with this mission.

Loco strides into the barracks
to get his work clothes. “What are you doing?” asks Loco. He looks over at
Ghost.

“I’m waiting for the call,” says Ghost. His voice low,
grinning.

“I thought you would want to work out. I want to do some
sparring and you’re the only one that makes it tough,” says Loco.

He narrows his eyes at Ghost.
Damn, he’s all into this
chica. That’s scary,
he thinks.

“Okay, that sounds great! I’ll work out with you in a few,
okay?” replies Ghost, grinning. “I need to talk to her for a few minutes.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know, right,” says Loco. He turns to get
dressed. “I’m going to spar with Panther.”

“I’ll be there in a few,” replies Ghost, answering the cell.

Loco walks out of the barracks, shaking his head. He walks
to the gym to work out.

Claudia and Christopher arrive at the warehouse. The
warehouse is located a few blocks down from the conference site. They’re on
time. They’re anxious and excited to go and finish the transaction.

This is going to be a grand production,
thinks
Claudia.
I’m ready and I’m already into my role.

They park the SUV outside of the warehouse, close to the
door so they can do a quick exit after the transaction. They walk into the
warehouse, fully aware of the danger they’re entering.

Christopher is carrying all three duffle bags with ninety
million dollars for the newest, most dangerous state of the art ammunition. Not
even the government has it available.

This is it, the big night. Yeah, I just don’t feel right
about it
, thinks Claudia, waiting for the drug cartel’s dealer.

Geeze, he isn’t even the big fish, he’s his right hand.
Christopher and I are just putting our vidas (lives) in jeopardy. All of it for
this little snake,
she thinks. With irritation, she attempts to control her
feelings and not give herself away.

It’s 0015 and he’s late, like always. No way can you
expect these jerks to have any type of manners. I need to remain cool and in
control. I don’t need El Gato to suspect anything after all of these months of
hard work
.

She turns to look around the warehouse, noticing that it’s a
little bigger than she thought.
Hmmm, this is a good size building with lots
of places to hide. I know that we have some back-up on the roof. The FBI agents
will also be outside, down the road waiting to come in. Damn, it’s a little
dark in here.

Christopher looks at his watch.
This is just freaking
unbelievable. Los bastardos (the bastards) are late again. It’s 0030. I wonder
what they’re up to because I don’t like this. They have the habit of being
late. They’re on Mexican time, but they’ve never been this late before
, he
thinks, turning to look at Claudia, raising his eyebrow.

Claudia looks at her watch, nods. “Ten more minutes,” she
says.

She looks at the back door.
They’ve never been this late
before on other transactions. Yeah, a few minutes but not this late. I wonder
what they’re up to. They’re thirty minutes late!
she thinks.

Christopher walks over to the table and sets the three
duffle bags on top. He looks around, trying to get the layout and feel of the
warehouse.

He looks up to the steel roof.
Hmmm, it’s not a glass
roof and the team can’t see what’s going on. We will have to work with the
studs and pray that they work. We should have tried them out yesterday to see
if and how the studs work. Now we have to trust that they work. Yeah, it is
fucking incredible
, he thinks.

Christopher feels antsy and notices that the back door is
slowly opening up. A truck is coming into the warehouse.

There’s also a car right behind the truck with four gueys
(jerks).
We’re not expecting extra guests. We’re prepared for anything, but
that!
thinks Christopher.

He watches the car stop behind the truck, about twenty feet
back.
Excellent, this is the truck with the ammunition on it. This is going
to be tricky, because of the extra gueys. I don’t trust them. Damn, now I have
to drive it out without Claudia. She has to escape quickly as I go.

Claudia stands ready at the end of the table. She looks at
the truck pull in, quickly pulls out her Glock.

She waits for them to stop.
There’re two men inside the
cab of the truck. What in the hell is this? There are more men in that car that
pulled in
, thinks Claudia.
Oh hell, this is going to get bad.

The truck is a moving truck
, thinks Claudia.
We
need to check this out back at the office
. She memorizes the license plate.

El Gato jumps out and walks over to Claudia. The driver
jumps out of the truck. He runs to the back of the truck to open the back
doors.

Before the driver can open up the back doors, all hell
breaks loose. “Gato, have your gueys in the car pull out! Turn the truck
around, facing the garage door, and leave it running,” yells Christopher. He
doesn’t like the situation.

He points his Glock at el Gato.
We’re not expecting the
other car with the four gueys
. “Now!”

The other car with the four gueys is about twenty feet
behind the truck and the car is running as the four gueys jump out. They stand
next to their doors.

El Gato gawks at Christopher and Claudia.
Yeah, they’re
suspicious. Hmmm, should I comply or ignore his request? It will actually work
for me anyway if the truck is ready to go when we put Christopher out and take
Claudia. Si, the dulce (sweet) Claudia
, he thinks.

“Hola, niños (hello kids),” says el Gato. He’s always trying
to intimidate them with his age and experience. He looks them over.
They’re
only babies playing with adults
, he thinks.

The niña (little girl) is a beauty and I know that I’m
going to have her first. I just can’t wait,
he thinks licking his lips. He
looks her over.

“Bruno! Turn the truck around and leave it running,” yells
el Gato, gawking at Claudia.

“Do you have the cargo?” asks Christopher.
I’m fucking
going to kill him. I don’t like how this animal is looking at Claudia. I don’t
trust him. She is not for him and I will kill him before he even gets to touch
her.
“We don’t have all night!”

“Claro (of course)!” says el Gato. He looks over at Claudia,
grinning. His grin looks evil.

He walks over to the truck where the driver is standing with
his gun pulled out.

“Your guey is a little over zealous,” says Claudia. She
smiles at him. Claudia walks over to the back of the truck. “We need to see the
ammunition.” She stops a few feet away from the back of the truck, ready to
shoot.

“Gato, move your guey away from the door!” yells
Christopher.

I fucking don’t like the way the animals are looking at
Claudia,
he thinks
.

Christopher moves closer to the door to look inside to
verify the ammunition.

El Gato makes a hand signal to have the driver move to the
other side of the truck with an evil smile. “Que pasa (what’s wrong)?” asks el
Gato.

He looks at Christopher and he looks into the truck with a
flash light. “Everything is good.”

“Si,” replies Christopher. He walks back to the table, not
losing sight of el Gato and his guey.

Carefully, he gets the bags. He starts to open the bags,
while he continues to look at el Gato.

Christopher waits for el Gato to walk over to verify the
funds.

This is too much for my nerves. El Gato looks like he’s
more interested in Claudia than in the money
, deliberates Christopher.

El Gato turns to look at Christopher. He’s trying to pay
attention to the transaction.
It’s difficult to keep track of what’s
transpiring. My mind is on el jefe (the boss), el Tigre, 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! The elements have taken FBI agent De La Cruz,” barks ICE.
He’s anxious and concerned for Claudia.

The chase is on and the FBI agents are in pursuit of the
truck and the car. There are three FBI cars in pursuit, firing at the truck
that’s loaded with the ammunition.

The guey in the passenger side of the truck is firing at the
FBI agents in the cars.

Bruno is trying to keep from rolling the truck. The fast
sharp turns in these extreme high speeds is making it difficult for him to
control the truck. 

The guey in the truck shoots the right front tire of the
first FBI car, causing it to turn and roll off the road.

The second FBI agent is pissed off. He shoots at both back
tires of the truck, blowing them out, causing the truck to roll on the road.
The truck comes to a complete stop, blocking any access.
