Chapter Eleven:Infiltrated 2
Two 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.I was later hired by a petty drug gang who were just sellers of drugs.I served as the middle man for a while until one day,the police raided our hide out.Fortunately, a few of use were able to to escape but the rest were arrested by the authorities but afterwards,I couldn't find another job,so I just did some petty handwork so that I could afford a days meal.Recently,I got a call from a friend,Diego Martinez,he an resident of El Paso and after learning about my plight,he asked me to come and stay with him for a while,at least until am able to stand on my own again and that's how I began to live here.Yesterday,I was watching the television when I came across your commercial,I noticed that you were using the Morse to code to pass a secret information,I've know this code for years now,and as I saw the opportunity,I knew that I couldn't afford to loose it."Have you ever killed anyone before".The first man asked."Yes,the first time was out of Self defense,but the rest I'd say its was purely business".Rowen replied."Well,that will be all for now,drop your identification card and the number of your friend Diego Martinez so that we can be able to confirm your identity".The first man said and Rowen handed over the number and fake Identification card Jay had made for him earlier."Go and wait on the hall way until you are called upon again".The second man instructed,pointing to another door.Rowen left the room and entered into the hallway there were already people seated there in two rows facing each other.Rowen Found an empty chair in the middle of two men and he sat down.The man seated on his right was tall,slender and had a well built muscular body,probably in his late thirties.The man on his left was also tall,but not as tall as the other guy,he had a plump shape and broad shoulders."Buenos Dias".Rowen greeted trying to get their attention,but only the one seated on his right hand side replied."My name is Bryson Finley".Rowen said extending his hands for a shake."Santiago Perez".He replied shaking Rowens hands."You don't look like someone who has ever killed anyone before,so what's a man like you doing in a place like this".Rowen asked after observing him for a while."You're right,I've never killed anyone before,nor have I been involved in crimes,but you see,my wife 'Fernanda' she's been sick for a while now, and she needs to undergo surgery but I do not have the money to pay for her treatments,I tried getting a descent job ,but I wasn't able to find any,that's why I came here today hoping that I would be able to get a job. Back in the room"Hello,am I speaking with 'Diego Martinez'.Antonio asked over the phone."Yea,who's asking".Diego replied."Am calling from 'Fabrica De jabon LA corona soap company".a friend of yours Bryson Finley came here to apply for a job,we needed someone to confirm his identity that's why we decided to call you"."Oh my goodness,are you for real.I knew he could make it,so finally he's gotten a job,that's really wonderful news,you know,Bryson and I have know each others for years now,he has always been a hardworking man, am sure you won't regret employing him.Can i tell you a little secrete when I first met Bryson,I didn't really like him that much cause he never really smiled,always with a straight face all day long but as time went by...............".But before Diego could finish talking,Antonio ended the call."I just needed him to confirm Bryson identity but instead he kept on blabbering non stop,I wonder how anyone could have a friend like that,he talks too much".Antonio said to Miguel who's attention was on the computer." I've hacked the computer at 'Arenia casino' where he claimed to have worked for a while,and its confirmed,his name is on the list of former employees".Miguel replied confirming Mason's fake identity."All right then,send the next person in".Diego instructed the men on guard outside. Few hours laterAfter waiting for about four hours,all the applicants were called back into the room."You all came here today to apply for a job but unfortunately,we do not have enough vacancy to accommodate everyone.I have a list here and written in it are the names of accepted applicants which will be moving on to the next stage.1.Lucas Alvarez2.Emiliano Castillo3.Joaquin Cisneroz4.Nicolas Delgado5.Lorenzo Estrada6.Santiago Perez7.Dante fuentes8.Salvador Gonzalez9.Enzo De leon10.Bryson Finely11.Edgar Herrera12.Arnesto Diaz13.Erick Garcia14.Andreas Mendoza15.Adolfo Dominguez The rest of you whose names were not mentioned,should exit the building immediately and also keep it in mind that what happened here today must remain a secrete and if its gets out,you will be hunted down and killed.Antonio announced and they left the building."Congratulations to the rest of you who has made it to the next stage,a location and time will be sent to you,be there on time tommorow cause we do not tolorate lateness and remember,you cannot tell anyone else about what transpired here today or else you along with your family and those you consider friends will all be killed".Miguel warned,after a few more instructions,they were allowed to go home.{Thanks for reading this chapter.}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. The Next Day Warehouse 9A large warehouse filled with many unused ro
Chapter Thirteen:The Brotherhood"Well gentlemen,we've finally reached the last stage of your initiation,but the bad news is,out of the last ten men still standing,the vacant positions needed to be filled is available for only five men,so now,we've decided that you will have to fight yourselves in order to get a position".Miguel announced."What.........how are we supposed to do that".The men murmured among themselves."Its pretty easy,you will be given an opponent to fight against ,whosoever is able to defeat his opponent wins and mind you,by defeat I mean kill your opponent".Miguel said and the murmuring grew louder."If you're not satisfied with the arrangement,you can leave,no one is forcing you to stay,the door is wide open,but just know this if you choose to stay,then you will have to fight till the death to secure a spot for yourself.........so,what's it gonna be".Miguel asked knowing fully well that the men couldn't just leave,except if it was their corpse that was being taken
Chapter fourteen:UndercoverTwo weeks later Warehouse 11"Boss,boss".Fernando called, running into the building almost out of breath."What the heck is wrong with you,why would you just barge into this building with so much noise".Vandel asked as he angrily stood up from where he was seated,still sipping his bottle of beer."Am sorry boss,I didn't mean to disturb you,but there's something urgent you need to know about".Fernando replied."Alright then,speak up what exactly is going on".Vandel asked."The Los zetas cartel",they are here in El paso".Fernando said finally breaking the news."What.........how did those annoying leaches come back to my island".Vandel said as he smashed his drink on the floor out of anger."We don't know how that happened boss,our men stationed at the border didn't inform us either so we were caught unaware".Fernando replied."Now tell me,what exactly are they up to this time".Vandel asked after taking a deep breath."Well,they want to set a meeting with you
Chapter 15:New enemiesTwo week later"Boss,you called for me".Rowen asked as Vandel pointed at the sit in front of him,gesturing him to sit down."Yes,i did......how's your injury".Vandel asked taking out two cigarette and handing one over to Rowen.After using the lighter,he handed it over to Rowen."Thankfully,My Injury is almost fully healed,it doesn't hurt much anymore".Rowen replied also lighting his own cigarette."That's good to know..........actually,i don't say this often,but i really appreciate what you did for,in this world,its really hard to find someone who would risk their life just to save yours,i mean you haven't been here for a long time but yet you still did this for me,while those i trust were busy hiding their faces,i guess it's true what they say, in time of danger you get to know who your true friends are and you just proved that to me."Vandel said,taking a sip of Tequila,before he continued smoking."Its my pleasure boss,you were in danger and as one of your men,

Chapter eighteen:New discoveries A week laterEarly in the morningAlvero Juarez street"Have you gotten the package".Manuel asked Mason as soon as he returned back to the car packed in the middle of 'Alvero street'.Seated inside the car were Manuel and Pedro the two most favorite henchmen of Antonio which he sent to torment Rowen every single day and today was no exception.Vandel had instructed them to deliver a brief case containing lot of money to a client of his living at 'Alvero street' and collect the package given to them.But instead,Antonio requested to the boss to let Rowen tag along under the pretext of helping him gain more experience but unfortunately for Rowen,Vandel agreed.And now,here he was being forced to do all the work while Manuel and Pedro sat ideally inside the car."Yea,this is it".Rowen replied handing the package over to Manuel,he collected it and kept it in the chair beside him.As Rowan opened the back door and was about to get into the car,Pedro quickly sla
Chapter Nineteen:The break in at warehouse 12Jay's House"Are you done editing the CCTV footage".i asked as soon as i came out of the kitchen holding two cups of coffee of which i handed one to Mason.He collected it and kept it on the table next to his computer,as i sat at the chair next to him."Yeah, the only thing that can be seen now is their arrival at the parking area,how Rowen retrieved the package and how they clearly bullied him and left him behind.The part where he entered into the store for the second time doesn't appear in the footage at all".Mason said after finally finishing the editing,he took a sip of his coffee before relaxing back on his chair."You've really done a good job,but we've still got a lot work to do,I've printed out all the documents that Rowen sent.Its all in this file".Jay said handing over the files to Mason."As you can see,we've gotten all the information we need about warehouse 12 and 14.But our main focus for now is on warehouse 12,it is located at
Chapter thirty eight: FarewellThree weeks flew by, and behold, Jay Wilson, once a fugitive, now basks in the sweet embrace of freedom. With Vandel's demise, my path led straight to the doorstep of the infamous "LA penalidad organization" to rid myself of the looming bounty."Well, well, Mr. Wilson, it seems you've found yourself in quite the pickle lately," remarked Mr. Hernando, alluding to my tumultuous encounter with Vandel."Mr. Hernando, I won't take up much of your precious time today. As you can plainly see, here lies the body. Now, kindly lift that hefty bounty off my weary shoulders."And just like that, the weight of the bounty was lifted, and I was a free man once more. No longer bound by fear and remorse, I could finally embrace a life unburdened.As the dust settled and the final chapter drew to a close, Rowen returned to his abode at "prestamista De dinero." A steadfast ally and partner, I often pondered how I would have weathered these trying times without his unwaveri
Chapter thirty seven:Mission accomplishedHe exploded at me. Just launched himself forward with his right arm swinging around in a giant roundhouse strike. I sidestepped his body and ducked under his arm and bounced up again and spun around. He stopped short on stiff legs and whipped back toward me. We had changed places. Now I was nearer to the guns than he was. He panicked and came at me again. Same move. His right arm swung. I sidestepped and ducked and we were back where we started. But he was breathing a little heavier than I was.“You’re quite slow,” I said trying to provoke him.He came at me again, no hesitation. Same exact move. This time I crashed an elbow into his side as I spun under his arm. He bounced straight off of locked knees and came right back at me. I dodged away again and felt the breeze as his giant fist passed an inch above my head.He stood there, panting. I was warming up nicely. He was a very poor fighter,all his life,he had depended on others to do the dirty
Chapter thirty six: The last fight Two weeks laterDoctor Nicole's residentIt's been two weeks now since I was discharged from the hospital,i had no where to go,I was still a wanted man in El Paso, i couldn't go anywhere nor could i return back to my house either. Lucky for me, Doctor Nicole (My personal doctor and a close friend of Mason) allowed me to stay in her apartment for the mean time.My injuries were almost fully healed and I had almost recovered all my strength.Mason was very supportive,he stayed with me and helped me through this tough times.Rowen always dropped by once In a while to check up on me.Doctor Nicole didn't really stay in the house,she dropped by once in a while to replace the groceries and help me with my treatment and therapy.It was another day at El Paso,i was sitting on the balcony of the house,sipping coffee and trying enjoying the cool morning breeze.Tri!!Tri!!Tri!!My phone began to ring.I took it out of my back pocket and looked at the screen to see
Chapter thirty five:In The hospitalThe stark smell of bleach was overwhelming,i scrunched my eye at the bright light that was sipping through my closed eyelid. I felt powerless and very heavy. I couldn't move my hands,head or body.I started blinking slowly ,desperately trying to open my eyes and see what was around me.The anesthesia was already wearing off and the blinding light slowly subsided,as i opened my eyes.I could smell the plastics that were in my nose and throat,next to my bed stood a one drawer night stand and on top was a blue pitcher and a cup filled with water.The room had only one bed which was the one i was occupying,the walls had white wall paper and flower design pressed on it.On three sides of the wall hung the picture of what seemed to be an endless field of wild flower.The bed i was lying on was very soft and comfortable.The side of the bed had silver metal rails that could be pulled up to keep yourself from falling off the bed.Attached to the bed by a cord wa
Chapter thirty four:Discovered Outside The Ware houseRowen Flashback"Other preparations are being made for this inevitable war,that's all i can say for now.I will see you soon".Mason said before the call disconnected.Rowen wasn't really sure about what Mason was talking about,but all he could do now was find a way to save Jay.As he was about to leave the house,he saw Rowen's computer lying on the table.He remembered that he had planted some CCTV camera's at warehouse 11 so,he decided to see what Vandel was up to since he left the ware house.He clicked on one of the footage but couldn't see anything.It appeared blank,Rowen didn't understand what was happening so he decided to check the previous footage. He took the footage back to beginning of that day and began to watch what had happened.He saw Vandel coming into the warehouse,he looked very disturbed and uneasy.After pacing back and forth for a while,he left the warehouse again. Few minutes later,he returned into the warehouse a
Chapter Thirty three:The Break in Three days laterIt was the morning of the third day.I didn't have any strength left in me,i knew that there was no way that my body could take any more torture,it was obvious that i was going to die soon if i didn't get any help.Vandel always came to check up on me twice a day usually in the afternoon and evening,but today was different,he came very early that morning.He walked around me for a while checking how much damage his men had done to my body and he was really pleased at what he was seeing."Good job boys,i can see that you have been taking really good care of my friend here".He said with satisfaction and pleasure written all over his face."Of course boss,we made sure to treat him exactly the way you ordered and today, we got a lot more in store for him "Antonio replied."That's great , i wish we had more time to make this bastard suffer more but unfortunately, we don't .Last night i received a call from one of my contacts at "Alsher city"

Chapter thirty one :New discovery The Next dayLa Cantinas Verde"Bryson........Bryson,you gotta wake up dude.......Bryson".Pedro called trying to get Rowen to wake up.Rowen opened his eyes slowly,he gave a heavy growl as he stood up from the couch where he had passed out. He placed his hands on his forehead as he felt a sharp pain. They had both drunk last night only to find themselves still at the bar.That was only Pedro's version of what had happened the previous day but the truth was Pedro drank so much alcohol and he passed out. Rowen paid the bar attendant and one of the servers to keep an eye on Pedro while he was away.He had returned early that morning after making some necessary arrangements to save Jay's life. Luckily for him,Pedro was still fast asleep. He took a sip of Tequila,sprinkled some on his shirt and roughed up his hair and shirt. He gave the server he had paid off a signal to wake Pedro up as soon as he laid down on the couch."Wha.......what happened last nigh
Chapters thirty:Captured Outside The WarehouseAlong San Francine roadRowen stopped a taxi and was about to enter when he heard someone calling his name. He turned to see Pedro running after him."What the heck did he want now".Rowen thought to himself.He closed the door of the taxi and apologized to the driver for the inconvenience as the taxi drove away."I've been following you for quite a while now but you didn't even notice it,you seemed really lost in thought".Pedro said after finally catching up to Rowen."I guess you must be right about that,i didn't even notice that someone had been following me all this while........but wait,is anything wrong or did the boss send you here to call us back to the warehouse".Rowen asked,it wasn't that he didn't notice Pedro had been following him since he left the warehouse,he choose to act as if he wasn't aware of it to find out what Pedro was up to."No its not that,actually i was headed to 'La cantinas Verde' when i saw you leaving the war
