Chapter Ten:Infiltrated 1
Different drug syndicates uses different methods to recruit new members.The first step in doing so would be creating awareness to the members of the public about the ongoing recruitments.One of the most suitable method to use is the internet.Videos depicting violence and glorifying organized crimes are posted on social media.The purpose of this would be to attract interested viewers to make more enquirers into it and get awareness about the job.Another method used is the newspaper.Cartel uses Ads like "We are looking for people with valid identification card and passports,if you are looking for a good paying Job,call for more enquirers."And the good paying job actually has to do with selling drugs.Other methods involves the use of radio announcement or the use of flyers and poster,but whatever method Vandel decides to use,we need to be alert and one step ahead. Three Weeks LaterReporter:Its been confirmed,in the early hours of Monday,three high school students were found dead at an old abandoned building at Alvora street.Upon close investigation by the local authorities,it was found that the cause of death was from the excessive intake of an illegal drug identified as cocaine.The students who has been identified asMateo lozano,Rainer Amherst and Rory Trevino were reported to have used the pretext of going to school that morning but instead snuk off to the abandoned building where they overdosed drugs and died.The families of the victims are heartbroken and calls on the local authorities to help them seek justice for the death of their loved ones.But the questions still remains,who exactly is the mastermind behind the recent reappearance of drugs in El Paso.And that's a wrap on the news for today,my name still remains............But before the reporter could finish reporting the news,I had already smashed the radio in a fit of rage."Disgusting bastards".I muttered to myself as I angrily stormed out of the room."Jay......jay".Rowen called after me in an attempt to find out why I was so upset."I think he needs sometime alone,just let him be for now".Mason said as he continued going through the channels on the television."But why.......what exactly is wrong with him".Rowen asked sitting next to Mason""His family were murdered by drug addicts and his brother also died by excessive intake of drugs,so I guess hearing the news must have probably brought back bad memories,so I guess the least we can do for him right now is to keep trying to find the Information we've been searching for the past three weeks now".Mason replied giving out a heavy sigh as he focused his attention back on the television."You're right about that...... but you've been controlling the remote for hours now , your fingers must be numb You should take a break,i'll take over ".Rowen offered."Alright then here you go ''Mason said handing the remote control over to Rowen, immediately he stood up,he felt a sharp pain on his back ''ouch....my back hurts,it's seems i didn't realize how long i've been seating on that chair''mason said as he groaned in pain.''Massage it with an Ice pack, it will help you relieve the pain ''.Rowen advised as he turned his focus back to the television mason left for the kitchen, he opened the fridge took a sip of water and began to gently massage his back. Few minutes laterMason.......mason hurry,come over here i think i've found something '.'Rowen called from the living room as Mason who was already getting ready to serve his breakfast quickly ran to the living room''What is it , why did you call me in such a rush''.Mason asked as he sat opposite to rowen''look at the televison,what do you see'' Rowen asked, ''uhmm.... i see a man doing a video commercial for a soap business'' Mason answered plainly." look closely , there is an important clue missing." Rowen said ." Am not really sure what am supposed to see" .Mason replied still looking closely at the television."His hands , he's tapping them constantly on the table as if he is trying to pass some secret message using morse code,I'll be back".Rowen replied as he rushed out of the room."Where are you going".Mason asked,but Rowen was already gone."What's going on here".Jay asked as he entered the house."Well,Rowen has found the clue we've been searching for,look the man on the television is advertising for his supposed soap company,but instead,he's saying something completely different with his hands,like a form of secret message,but I still can't figure it out".Mason said already frustrated."Am back".Rowen announced as he entered the room holding a pen and paper."Can you decode it".I asked with curiosity."I've known this code for years now,decoding it won't be a problem for me".Rowen replied as he focused his full attention on the television as he began writing the codes on the paper.We waited patiently for him to finish decoding."I've gotten it,its like some form of address with the title"Fabrica De jabon LA corona".And the time of meet up,at exactly 9` o clockwhere exactly is that".Rowen asked."Its an abandoned soap company down atMadano street......good job guys,I guess tommorow,our real mission begins."Jay said enthusiastically. The Next Day"Are you guys sure this is going to work".Rowen asked through the radio ear piece.Earlier that day,we had prepared everything he needed to go undercover.A wired security ear piece and a small camera hidden in his pocket,so that we could be able to monitor what was going on.He left early and was standing in front of the old Fabrica De jabon LA corona building"."Its going to be fine,just remember don't forget what we've discussed earlier."I replied through the other end of the ear piece."Alright then,am ready to go in".Rowen replied preparing himself for the task at hand."Buena suerte to you amigo".Mason said as Rowen entered.The building was old and dusty,he began to walk around but there was no one around,until he finally arrived at a door.He opened it,it was really dark,as soon as he took another step,a light came on,which reflected on his face causing a temporary loss of sight."Who are you and why are you hear".A harsh voice roared."My.......my name is Bryson Finley,am...am looking for a job.Rowen stammered a little."Its alright,you can let him in now".A voice said from another room."Enter".The man roared Rowen again as Rowen quickly entered the next room.{Thanks for reading this chapter.}Chapter Eleven:Infiltrated 2Two men all dressed up in black suits were seated next to each other in a large and dimly lit room,in front of them was a table and on top of it were two guns,a candle and a packet of cocaine.They were both huge and had a scary look on their faces."Take a sit".The first man instructed,I carefully pulled out a chair in front of them and sat down."What is your name,how old are you and where do you come from".The first man asked."My name is Bryson Finley and am 29 years old and am from Hub city".Rowen replied after taking a deep breath to calm himself down."Do you have any present or previous occupations".The second man asked."I worked at 'Arenia' casino back at Hub city,but after some years,it was forced to shut down due to constant visits by the law enforcement agents.I became jobless for years,I had no family members to rely on and no one to turn to,I tried finding a descent job but I couldn't get any so I decided to return back to doing illegal things
Chapter twelve:Survival of the fewestJay's House"Congratulations on passing the first stage of your initiation on becoming a member of the Cartel".Mason said applauding Rowen for a job well done."Well,I wouldn't have been able to pull it off if not for the fake identity you created for me".Rowen replied as he sat comfortably on the sofa."Am afraid that this may be the last time we will be able to see each other,cause from tomorrow,you're going to be out there on your own.We won't be able to help you anymore,so you will have to depend on yourself for whatever you might need.We can only try to help you from the outside,but the rest is up to you.You have to succeed but more importantly,you have to stay alive".I said giving my last words to Rowen."Don't worry Harmon,I promise I won't fail you,I will do everything within my power to succeed no matter what".Rowen replied assuredly before his departure the next day.
