Chapter 241: Hatching a Plan
Carmen was surprised by the message she received from the anonymous user. They claimed to have the means to take down La Madre, but in exchange for this information she had to help this mysterious stranger rescue the Narco Princess of the Jalisco Cartel. A young woman who was far from innocent in her own right.
But Carmen was desperate for anything to bring down the vicious Drug Queen of Los Zetas, and because of this she immediately accepted the offer. Though how she would rescue Isabella from her own family, even Carmen didn’t know. I mean it was not like she could barge through the front door and save the girl as if she were a damsel in distress.
Thus, Carmen spent the rest of the night thinking of a plan that would allow her to save Isbella from her family, and bring down La Madre at the same time. After all, she had no idea if this stranger was even reliable. But any attempts to confirm such a thing were met with failure.
It turned out Redacted was very good at hiding herself behind her screen, so much so that even the US Federal government had a hard time tracking her down.

Alex awoke next to a group of loose young women who were from Neuvo Laredo. He had no idea what their names were, or any memories of what level of debauchery they had engaged in last night. But as was evident by the fact that they were lying naked next to him, he must have had a fun time with them last night.
As the man struggled to reach for his phone, which was charging on the nightstand next to his bed, he found that he had several messages left over. And when he looked at them he realized they were indeed from the same person who helped him and Maria escape from the Jalisco compound.
Speaking of Maria, the woman still refused to speak to Alex, and thus all he could do was continue the fight he had signed up for when he first agreed to work for La Madre. But when Alex looked over at Redacted’s messages, he immediately became concerned.
What did such a thing entail? Well, honestly, Alex’s plan was pretty much just to snort more cocaine, and then go balls to the walls in a head on assault of the Jalisco compound all by himself. It was an incredibly stupid plan, but Alex also wasn’t a genius. He was more of a meathead than the brains behind an operation.
And because of this, he was about to do something stupid like consume an ungodly amount of cocaine, and storm the enemy castle as a one-man army. A plan that would certainly get him killed. Luckily for Alex, before he could do something so incredibly stupid, he received a phone call from La Madre who demanded an audience with him.
Thus, Alex got dressed and exited his room, incredibly hungover from the previous night’s party, where he entered La Madre’s office, where she was sitting while counting a pile of money. There was a look of concern on her face, as she spoke to Alex in an almost motherly tone.
“Boy, did you seriously spend the whole night drinking, fucking, and snorting cocaine? You look like a goddamn mess! I would send you to rehab to get clean, but you and I both know you’re an absolute monster when you’re on the stuff. Here, have a small bump on me. It should help cure what ails you…”
Alex didn’t exactly think he was addicted to the Columbian nose powder, but he also didn’t refuse the offer, as La Madre rolled up a hundred-dollar bill, and allowed the man to snort some of the purest cocaine available. Which indeed helped him get over his hangover.
Despite his insistence of wanting to snort more, La Madre refused to let Alex do so, as she needed him alert, but not wired to the fucking gills for the next task. Which she was quick to give voice to.
“Alex… I received a message last night about a certain someone who is being held captive… We already have the Jalisco Prince as our prisoner, but… If we could get our hands on Isabella we could have an even stronger bargaining position with that old crazy bastard! What do you say? Are you up for a daring rescue operation?”
Alex was now starting to realize that Redacted likely contacted everyone she could to get Isabella safely away from the hands of her crazy father, which of course included La Madre, and because of this he remained silent as he nodded his head with a wide grin on his face.
“Storming the castle, saving the princess… This sounds vaguely familiar to what I already had in mind… But you’re going to give me backup instead of my suicidal plan, right?”
La Madre gave Alex a curious look as she demanded to the see the man’s phone. Which he obliged, not because he wanted to, but because to deny the female Drug Queen would probably arouse suspicions about his loyalty, and the Zetas were the last friends Alex had left south of the border.
Once La Madre looked at the messages on Alex’s phone, she realized the anonymous user that messaged her was not a friend of the Zetas, but rather a friend of Isabella’s and clicked her tongue in disgust.
“Tsk… This changes nothing! Having both Isabella and Angel as our prisoners is still far more ideal than only having Angel! Your objective isn’t to go all guns blazing and get yourself killed like an absolute fucking idiot, but to covertly infiltrate the Jalisco compound and extract the princess without leaving a trace of yourself behind. Because of this, I’ll have you provide support to Amahle who is an expert in these matters!”
Alex was slightly offended that La Madre thought he was nothing more than a brute who was only good as the forlorn hope of a combat operation, but he chose to remain silent, and instead accepted his orders. After all, this was a much better plan to get Isabella out of her situation alive and unharmed. And Alex needed to save her in order to not reach a bad end.
Thus it was decided, Alex, Amahle, and a few other Sicarios trained in infiltration would begin their operation, after the other Zeta Sicarios set off a distraction in Jalisco territory. And Alex would be a critical component of this plot.
