Chapter 264: Marked For Death By the CIA
The day after Alex conquered Maria’s heart and body, the pink-haired beauty clung tightly to his side. Alex awoke to find himself in the woman’s embrace, and yet he did not stay by her side long. There was a limited amount of time before the US Government decided on a course of action on how to deal with Los Zetas. And if it were to come to an outright invasion, Alex did not want to be in Mexico when the fighting went down.
Thus, Alex quickly left a note for Maria when she finally awoke, instructing her to go to the airport where a private plane would take her safely out of the country. As for What Alex intended to do now, he planned to make his move on Nina.
Thus, he once more drove to the girls’ college campus in an attempt to force her into seeing him again. But while Alex was trying to win over the heart of the young hacker, the United States Government was voting on whether or not to intervene in Mexico Militarily. But more importantly, the Federal Agencies had begun to shift their sights on Los Zetas.
In an office within Langely Virginia, sitting within the headquarters of the CIA, there was the director of said agency. He was staring at a board which had the pictures of Los Zeta’s leadership pinned to it, and directly below La Madre’s beautiful photograph was one of Alex Smith.
The photograph displayed Alex in his sicario gear, albeit with his mask removed, and was captured by the DEA prior to their failed plan, which resulted in the deaths of several field agents and even higher-ranking officers.
The secretary of the CIA’s director pushed her glasses up to get a better view as she made a statement aloud.
“Alex Smith, American citizen turned Mexican Drug Lord. He’s the muscle behind the downfall of the Sinaloa, Gulf, and Jalisco cartels. He’s also a professional mixed martial artist. No doubt he has a certain blood lust which drove him into a life of war south of the border.
He also has friends in very high places. Friends who insist on him being brought back home alive, and without the appropriate charges that should follow his crimes against humanity.”
“I don’t care if he is blood brothers with the current President. You and I both know who the real power is of this country. Mr. Smith has made himself an enemy of the world by aligning himself with the Cartels, and we will make sure he doesn’t make it out of America alive.
Send a Covert Ops team to eliminate Mr. Smith. There is no way I’m going to allow this fucking kid to get away with the damage he has caused to our plans.”
The secretary was quick to remind the CIA’s director that Alex’s actions may have inadvertently been positive to the United States in an unforeseen way.
“Sir… With all due respect. Now that the Chaos in Mexico is resolved. The crisis at the border is dying down. After all, the last thing Los Zetas wants is for the Republicans to pass more border security measures, making it harder for them to smuggle drugs into the country.
They would rather go back to a time where there was some reasonable measure of stability at the border, while still loose enough in security that they can easily bypass our measures. La Madre is smart enough to know that this chaos can’t last forever, and she wants to take advantage of this to go back to how things used to be…”
However, the Director of the CIA scoffed at the secretary’s statement, and was quick to point out that just because border security was good for the nation, that didn’t mean it was good for the people he really worked for.
“You think I give a damn about securing the border? What is good for the nation is not necessarily good for those who are in control. And they don’t want a secure border. If they did, do you really think we would allow millions of people to flood into this country unchecked each year?
A stable Mexico may be in the best interest of the Nation, but it is the exact opposite of what our benefactors want. So no, we will not be allowing Los Zetas to stay in control. Once we eliminate their leadership, they will collapse, and the ensuing power vacuum will once more break out into chaos.
And we will start with this Alex Smith… Sure, he may have some powerful people protecting him, but there are even more powerful people who have marked him for death. Stupid kid, you never should have interfered with their plans…”
The secretary sighed heavily; she knew damn well she was working for the devil, and that her actions, and that of the CIA, as well as many other federal agencies were actually more detrimental to the United States and its people, then it was beneficial. But that was her job, thus she immediately began to look on her phone for an available covert ops team who would be able to get the job done.
“Alright… I’ve alerted Covert Ops. As of this moment, Alex Smith is marked as a target for elimination. His death will come when he least expects it. Once he is dead, we will move onto the other leaders of Los Zetas. Is that all, or did you want anything else from me?”
The Director of the CIA sat down in his seat and threw a dart at Alex’s picture. There was a conceited smirk on his face as he dismissed his assistant.
“That will be all… Take the rest of the week off. Because starting Monday we are going to be very busy…”
