Chapter 252: Conspiring Against the Conspirators
Alex received a phone call shortly after La Madre’s meeting with her lieutenants. It was from none other than his mother, and when he heard Diana’s voice on the other line, he was quick to flirt with her.
“Well… Look who’s calling? It’s been a while huh, mom? How are you all enjoying yourselves on the island?”
There was a stern tone in Diana’s voice as she ignored Alex’s question entirely, instead speaking with a sense of urgency as she scolded him for his actions.
“I don’t know what you were thinking getting yourself involved with the cartel like this, but the DEA is setting up an ambush for you and the leaders of both Jalisco and the Zetas. If you go there, you will die. So please, for the love of god find some excuse not to step foot into that damned exchange!”
Alex was stunned by this news, and quickly looked left and right to make sure he was not being observed or listened to before lowering his voice almost to a whisper as he interrogated her mother for more information.
“How the hell did you find out about this?”
Diana’s sigh was exaggerated enough that Alex could understand she was deeply stressed and indeed felt slightly bad for causing his mother to feel that was, especially when he considered that she was currently pregnant with his child. But her tone was much softer as she spoke up about what she knew and how she knew it.
“A friend in the Department of Justice told me about it… Alex, all I know is that Jalisco intends to doublecross you and engage in a shootout, while the DEA and Mexican Marines intend to take out whoever is left standing. What you’re about to get yourself into is extremely dangerous, and I’m begging you to stay as far away as possible, alright? You can’t leave me, not after we were finally able to reconnect!”
“I got it… Thanks for giving me a heads up. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m a survivor. I always have been. I love you mom and give the others my love as well. I’ll see you soon.”
With that said, Alex hung up on the woman without responding. He then forced his way into La Madre’s room, while she was working on hiding several weapons beneath her clothes. The mature beauty had a body that was to die for, and she was currently only dressed in her underwear. When she saw Alex enter her room unannounced, her expression shrank. She was just about to scream at them and when he coldly and calmly shut the door behind himself.
Upon seeing such a serious expression on the face of a man who was almost always anything but, La Madre forced herself to remain calm as she asked the man the question that immediately came to her mind.
“What’s wrong?”
Alex responded with a cold tone in his voice as he alerted the woman to their problem.
“We have a mole… The DEA knows about our plans to eliminate Jalisco. They are working with the Mexican government to ambush us both, and kill the survivors?”
La Madre’s finely groomed brows raised in curiosity as she repeated that last part back to Alex.
“Survivors?”
Alex once again spoke in a tone filled with severity as he told the woman what his mother had told him.
“Jalisco doesn’t intend to pay the ransom you have given them for Angel and Isabella. They intend to ambush us and wipe out our leadership in one fell swoop. The DEA and Mexican Marines will be on standby to clear up anyone who still draws breath. We are walking straight into a trap…”
Though this was a serious turn of events, La Madre was curious about how someone like Alex knew all of this and was quick to interrogate him about the matter.
“And how exactly do you know all of this?”
Alex responded in a way La Madre was not expecting. He stood up and smirked as he approached the woman, who was wearing nothing but her satin undergarments. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her neck when he spoke to her.
“You aren’t the only one with connections. I’m a billionaire, or did you forget? There is nothing that money can’t buy in the US of A, and that includes information. I’ve got an informant in the DOJ who gave me a heads up.”
La Madre sighed heavily when she heard this. It sounded like Alex’s source was directly involved in the chain of command that oversaw the operation itself. Because of this, she decided to trust this intel, and was quick to call off the meeting.
“If that’s the case, then I suppose I have no choice but to call that bastard and put an end to these negotiations. If he intends to ambush me at the meeting, then I’ll just kill his son like the dog he is!”
Alex, however, was quick to grab hold of the woman’s shoulders and calm her, as he assured her he had a better idea.
“We could do that… But I think I have a better idea about how to handle this matter…”
La Madre looked at Alex strangely, before asking him just exactly what he wanted to do.
“Go on…”
With this permission given, Alex sat La Madre down and explained to her his plan of action. One that she surprisingly found herself in agreement with. The two of them went over a detailed plan about how to emerge victorious from this ordeal, nailing two birds with one stone.
Killing the leadership of the Jalisco Cartel, while also dealing a decisive and terrifying blow to the Mexican Government and the DEA.
