Loco, Razer 8 (8 page)

It’s the end of the day at the FBI agency and Director Young
is walking down the hall.
Yeah, I’m finally going home,
he thinks,
turning the corner.

Commander Martin is heading towards him in a hurry. Director
Young takes a deep breath
.

I know that something hot is on or Commander Martin
wouldn’t dare to delay me at this time on Saturday evening
, muses Director
Young.

“Director Young, we just received this message from the drug
cartel. The drug cartel lord has our FBI agent. Agent De La Cruz is being held
hostage. They’re demanding that the United States release the drug lord Luis
Negro aka el Negro from our custody,” says Commander Martin.

He waits for the Director Young to take over the terrible
situation
. I just don’t know what else to do with all of the kidnappings and
now this hostage demand
, thinks Commander Martin.

“You got to be kidding me!” says Director Young, turning
around to go back to his office in defeat.

I guess I won’t have a weekend after all,
he thinks.

He dials the appropriate agency to get authorization for the
exchange, to get the Delta force to go into Central Mexico, to rescue the FBI
agent from the clutches of el Tigre.

At least now we know where FBI agent De La Cruz is
located
, thinks Director Young, waiting to get the call answered. 

Finally after several rings, the Delta Force Commander
answers the call. “Delta Force Commander Knight,” says Kevin.

I wonder what’s happening this late in the evening on a
Saturday night! Geeze!
muses Commander Knight.

“Commander Knight, we have a matter that needs to be taken
care of immediately. We have an FBI agent that is, at this moment, being held
hostage by the drug lord Cartel in central Mexico, El Tigre. He’s demanding the
release of the drug lord, Luis Negro, aka el Negro Del Sur. He demands the
exchange for our FBI agent. Luis Negro is in the United States custody,” says
Director Young.

He looks out into the coast with regret
. I truly pray
that the young FBI agent will be saved in time,
he thinks.

“Director Young, I will give the government officials the
Intel to get their authorization to extract the FBI agent. I know that the
United States government will not cave in to the cartel’s demands. It will take
a few hours to get all the Intel analyzed and approved by the top officials. I
will have the Delta Force on standby. I seriously believe that the United
States will attempt to extract the FBI agent,” says Commander Knight.

“The FBI agent has been in the Cartel’s clutches since 0100.
We need to move on this if we want to get the FBI agent out alive. The FBI
agent is a young women and from a good upstanding American citizen family. This
family also has three young ladies kidnapped by the new drug cartel in Baja
California. The Navy SEALS are on their way to extract them now,” says Director
Young, with alarm in his voice.

“Is there a special reason why this family is being
targeted?” asks Delta Force Commander Knight.

This is incredibly odd to have four young ladies from the
same family taken by the Mexican drug Cartels. Hmmm, what’s up?
ponders
Commander Knight.

“Commander Knight, the FBI agent was undercover when she was
taken. The other three young ladies were kidnapped by the new drug lord in Baja
California. The drug lord wants to force the family to associate with the new
cartel. The family is a wealthy, upstanding, Mexican American family and the
Cartel wants to be in control of the family,” says Director Young, shaking his
head.

This is unreal! How can these terrific young ladies fall
into the evil ruthless hands of the drug Cartel?
he thinks.

“Due to these circumstances, I’m requesting that the Delta
Force gets deployed immediately.”

“Director Young, you have a valid reason and I will forward
this Intel to the top officials. I will do all I can to move this along
quickly,” says Commander Knight, shaking his head.
This is incredible
.

“Thanks, Commander Knight. I’ll be waiting for your call as
soon as you have the okay,” says Director Young.

He takes a seat and he motions to Commander Martin to wait.

“We will need to get the signal to proceed forward,” says
Delta Force Commander Kevin Knight. He takes down all the Intel that Director
Young is imparting.

“Thanks Sir,” says Director Young. He looks out the window
in his office.
I can’t leave until I know that agent De La Cruz is safely
home
, he thinks.

He turns to his Commander Martin. “Commander Martin, this is
going to be a long night. I need you to get us some dinner and some coffee.”

“Yes Sir,” says Commander Martin. He walks out of the
office, in search of food.

This is just great. I have to cancel my date and Shirley
is going to be real pissed
, thinks Commander Martin.

Delta Force Commander strides down the hall to his team operatives
to alert them for standby. He enters the barracks. The operatives immediately
surround him.

“Team, we have a covert mission on hold. We need to get the
top officials to sign off. We will be extracting a young FBI agent who’s
currently in the clutches of a drug cartel in central Mexico. The FBI agent was
taken hostage at 0100. The top officials are reviewing the drug cartel’s
demands and the situation. Team Razer 8 will be deployed when the mission is
approved. Team, I need you on standby,” informs Commander Knight. “This might
take a few hours since the top officials still have to arrive and review the
Intel.”

Commander Knight returns to the office to wait on signoff.
He walks directly to his desk. He looks at Officer Ortiz.

“Did you take all the Intel to the conference room so the
officials can sign off on it?” asks Commander Knight. He glares at Officer
Ortiz.

“Yes Sir,” says Officer Ortiz, waiting for further
instructions.

“I need you to wait outside the conference room door so you
can give me the answer immediately,” says Commander Knight. He sits on the edge
of his desk.

Damn, this is going to be a long night and it must be a
nightmare for the family
, thinks Commander Knight, sighing with
frustration.

“Yes sir,” replies Officer Ortiz. He exits the office.

The Delta Force team, Razer 8, immediately starts to prepare
for the covert extraction. They’re pumped up with a rush of adrenaline.

Yeah, this is what we live for,
thinks operative De
Leon.

I have to be prepared because we’re going to deploy on a
special mission as soon as we get the signal from the CIA
.
This mission
is going to be extremely risky.

The Cartel has the FBI agent and wants to get an exchange
deal with the United States government. They want the United States to release
one of the cartel’s strongest and meanest drug lords, who’s in United States
custody.

Time is running out. If the United States wants a
successful extraction, they need to make a decision quickly
.
We might
not locate any pieces of the FBI agent, if we delay
. 

It’s always crucial to extract the hostage within the
first twenty-four to forty-eight hours. That’s the time frame we aim for, if we
want any chance of extracting the hostage alive. Yeah, if god is willing, in
one complete body
, contemplates Roberto, anxiously.

The Delta Force Razer 8 operative’s team is transported to
the operational deployment area. The operatives are waiting to be deployed.

I don’t know why this mission is causing me so much
heartache. I don’t know what it is
, ponders Roberto, attempting to shake
off the feeling.

“What’s up, Loco?” asks Ghost. Ghost is his partner who has
learned to read all of his moods.

It’s kind of scary sometimes to have someone else know
what you’re feeling,
thinks Roberto. He ignores his buddy.
We spend so
much time together that we have become more than just partners, friends, or
even more than familia (family). We know each other well, we perceive our
moods, fears, and demons
.

“I’m good,” replies Roberto, turning to look up at the sky.
“I’m anxious to get this over and we’ve been waiting for the signal for two
hours. I’m getting antsy about the mission and odds on the success of the
extraction.”

“Dude, I know. I can feel it,” agrees Panther. He looks at
his buddy.

He’s really anxious and I wonder why. Loco always has his
feelings and body in tight control. That’s why we call him Loco, because he
acts like nothing fazes him. He reacts like nobody ever would. He takes such
loco risks
, contemplates Panther.

“I heard from one of the officers that the FBI Agent De La
Cruz is a female. This doesn’t sit well,” says Panther. Panther is the team lead
operative. He’s fast and vicious like a panther when stalking his victims.

Panther is Mark Lotus and is 6’1 tall, lean, mean, and
strong. His face is strong and he has brown eyes and light brown hair with soft
full lips.

The lips are the only thing that’s soft on this man. He
hates any man that takes and abuses a woman. He’s ready to go and ready to kill
those bastards.

“You got to be fucking with me! What are we waiting for?”
demands Loco, frustrated.

“With luck, we’ll be able to get the FBI agent out alive and
safe. Time is running out and we’ll be lucky if they don’t rape her,” says Loco,
frustrated. He anxiously paces around the room.

Damn it, it’s extremely urgent and important to extract
the FBI agent as soon as possible. Who knows what type of abuse she’s suffering
through at this very moment and the United States government is deciding on
extraction. This really sucks
, rages Loco.

“I know, Loco. Time is crucial,” says Ghost. He looks around
and waits for the signal to deploy.

“Is that it? We’re not going to receive any additional
Intel? We’re only getting the order to insert and extract the FBI Agent? We
don’t have a picture?” states Roberto, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Why am I reacting like this? Why do I feel these strong
feelings with this particular mission? It’s not like I’ve never been on a
mission involving extraction of women.

That’s just it! I know the danger and abuse that the
women often go through in the hands of these savages, scum, bastards,
thinks Loco, frustrated. He clenches his jaw, flexing the muscle.  

“No, Loco,” says Ghost. He jams his right hand fist into his
left hand, furiously.

The other six team operatives are busy checking their gear
and warming up for action. The operatives are feeling tense and frustrated with
the delay in deployment. The wait is wearing on their nerves, with the
knowledge that every minute is crucial.

Roberto starts to stretch, wanting to be ready to take off
as soon as the signal is given.
I just need to keep moving before I go
insane
, he thinks.
