Chapter 269: A Hostile Situation
As expected of the CIA, they immediately began their attempts to form a rift between Alex and La Madre. And just as Alex had anticipated, he began receiving files from an anonymous user posting audio and video recordings of La Madre setting Alex up in the hopes that he would get rid of her enemies for her, or die trying.
Although this information pissed Alex off, he knew the actual goal behind it, and thus he decided to ignore La Madre’s previous betrayal, and instead focus on conquering Nina. Which would allow him to eventually punish La Madre in the way he preferred most.
It soon enough became clear to the CIA that their efforts to form a rift between Alex and La Madre were not working. They did not in the least expect that Alex was the type of guy to ignore betrayal. In fact, all signs showed he was the kind who would attempt to get his revenge once someone had betrayed him.
But this betrayal never came, and instead, Alex and La Madre seemed to be getting closer. So much so that the CIA had begun to suspect that they had been compromised in some way. Whether it was having a mole in the ranks who leaked their plans to Alex, or perhaps a weak point in their cyber security that allowed the Cartel to learn of their schemes.
Either way, the CIA began searching for how they had been compromised and, after much effort, they were able to track down the source of this leak. Unfortunately, Amahle’s source had hidden herself so well that the CIA instead managed to pinpoint Nina’s exact location.
—
Alex received a text message from an unknown source. He had no idea who had sent it, but one thing was abundantly clear to him by the message. Nina was in trouble! The CIA had discovered that she had been accessing their systems and leaking intel to the cartel. Or more specifically Alex.
And because of this, they were sending a hit team to kill her in her dorm room. Luckily for Alex, he was already out and about, driving around in his custom pickup truck, which had been modified so that its engine was capable of producing 1,000 horsepower.
The moment Alex learned that the enemy was targeting one of his heroines, he put the pedal to the medal, and sped off like a madman through the streets of Mexico City, which he was visiting so that he could coerce Nina into going on a date with him.
The Technical zipped through the streets of Mexico City, eventually arriving in the parking lot of Nina’s university, where Alex rushed through its halls towards her dorm room. Coincidentally enough, when he crossed through the hallways of the dorms, Alex saw the CIA death squad stacking up against the door.
Alex did not hesitate to reach into his waistband and pull out the custom 1911 that La Madre had commissioned for him, where he flicked off the safety and began unloading 8 rounds of .45 ACP AP ammunition into the skulls of the enemy assailants.
The first three shots penetrated through the FAST helmets of the CIA operators as quickly as they were fired, piercing their skulls and sending them to the afterlife. After being caught off guard by an unknown hostile, the surviving members of the fireteam turned their suppressed rifles towards Alex and opened fire.
Where the man immediately ducked behind cover and waited for the bullets to stop flying before he fired a few more shots at the enemy. The gunfight was over before it had even really begun. Though the CIA fireteam had managed to exchange a few shots with Alex, they ultimately missed their marks, whereas Alex made each shot of his 8 round magazine count, nailing each soldier right in the dome.
Knowing that their body armor would protect against .45 ACP AP ammunition, Alex was forced to hit the men in the helmet, which was incapable of protecting against armor-piercing rounds. Ultimately, it was the fact that Alex had ambushed the soldiers, and they did not even know if they were surrounded or not that led to their deaths.
Once Alex had killed the CIA fireteam, he reloaded his magazine before kicking open the door, where he found a terrified Nina hiding beneath her bed. With a heavy sigh, Alex spoke to the young woman commanding her to leave with him.
“pack your shit, we’re getting out of here…”
Nina was in tears as she crawled out from under the bed. She was absolutely hysterical, never anticipating anything like this to ever really happen to her. Though she feared this day would come, she always believed she had been covert enough in her hacking to avoid detection.
Unfortunately for her, she was wrong, and the CIA found out she was helping Alex. But just when they were about to kill her, she was saved by the very man who put her in this dangerous situation. As a result, she couldn’t help but hug Alex and cry into his arms.
“Thank you…. Thank you so much! I’m such an idiot!”
Alex knew they didn’t have time for this. Odds are another fireteam was trying to cut off their escape at this exact moment, and thus he grabbed hold of Nina’s shoulders and shook her in to a state of clarity.
“Now’s not the time for this! Nina, grab your shit and let’s go. We need to get the fuck out of here, now!”
It was only after Alex expressed the severity of the situation did Nina fully comprehend it, and thus she wiped the tears from her eyes, and nodded her pretty little head with a serious expression on her face. After which she grabbed her bag, which had her computer in it, and some other essential supplies, before following Alex out the door and into an unknown hostile situation.
