“De La Cruz, Corona, I will allow you to continue to participate in this extraction mission. I believe that your skills will be sharper than ever. We will allow you the authority to use on your discretion to eliminate every single element that is in your path to a successful extraction,” he said with hard, evil gleam.
Chris looks into the Lieutenant Commander Ramirez’s ojos and is relieved to see that he is being allowed to continue on this extraction mission but also was given authority to kill these bastardos. Yes, this is going to be good because I will not show any mercy on these animals. “Thank you, sir,” said Chris, looking into his ojos.
“Thank you, sir,” said Gabriel, relieved that he will be with Chris to help him get las primas a casa.
“Time to deploy,” said SOTO Officer Ford as he turns walking out of the cuarto going down the hall to the waiting helicopter with the team right behind him.
This really sucks for De La Cruz and Corona. I know each one on this team is going to work extra hard to eliminate these animals from the face of this planet, Officer Ford thought.
The team SEAL operators are in the helicopter and are ready to deploy. Every team operator is thinking that Chris has incredibly beautiful sister and cousins. Wow we didn’t even know how wealthy he is. Chris has always been one of us and never appeared to be anything else. We need to make sure that we get his family out of there and back to their home.
Chris and Gabriel are praying that they get there in time to save Bella, Paty, and Jessy.
Dios mio, por favor help mi team y yo to be strong and smart. Give us strength to rescue mi hermana y primas, prays Chris.
Dios mio, help us rescue Bella, Paty, y Jessy, prays Gabriel, trying not to give into fear and keep tight control of his nerves. This could have been mi Erica. I can just imagine how Jose Enrique, mi hermanos, Carlos and Greg, are now feeling, thought Gabriel.
El Mextli lives in opulent comfort in Baja California in a one-hundred-fifty-year-old colonial-style villa located in the center of the valley that reaches the sea. The hermosa villa has four master suites, a gourmet kitchen, three wet bars, living and dining room with powder room, four balconies, and two terraces to view charming, enchanting views of the ocean.
The quiet atmosphere conceals the ruthless, malicious creature that has taken control of Baja California. The oasis of the gardens is ideal for lovely, romantic strolls through the fragrant gardens. The gorgeous beaches and surf on the Pacific Ocean displaying romantic Mexican sunsets and amazing star-filled skies. The moonlight illuminated the spectacular beach and villa.
The Navy SEALs team operators are momentarily stunned with the beauty that this animal is surrounded in. To put it simply this beast is enjoying the luxury that most individuals dream about. The peaceful atmosphere of the villa is ideal for the body, mind, and soul.
It is approximately 0300 when the Navy SEALs finally land. The SEALs immediately separate and proceeded in different directions into the drug lord domain. Christian and Gabriel progressed swiftly through the bush and eliminated every single drug soldier that they encountered.
The other SEAL operators are fueled by anger and are also moving fast through the terrain. Each operator is enraged with the situation that Chris’s family is in. It is a matter of minutes that the entire villa is surrounded by the Navy SEALs operators.
The team officer Ford decided to send Chris and Gabriel to get their family. The young ladies will feel better knowing that they are being rescued by their own.
“De La Cruz, Corona, two guards below a window on south indicates possible location of goods and extract.”
Chris and Gabriel did not wait for any further orders and are on it. Immediately Chris and Gabriel are twisting the necks of each guard and pulling them behind the bushes. Effortlessly they climb up the trees and onto the balcony that allows the access to the cuarto.
The window is slightly open. We will figure out how to take them down without them getting hurt, thought Chris slowly landing onto the balcony. He leans close to the window looking in. Si, they are in here. Chris signals that they are in the cuarto with relief.
He slowly opens the window and softly enters, hearing them crying. Damn, they are scared to death, he thought with worry and rage going to them. I need to take off mi mask before I terrify them. He takes off his mask and smiles at them. He quickly signals for them to be quiet, acknowledging their relief.
Si, mi hermano, thought Bella with relief, smiling. Her expression is full of love and relief. She nods her cabeza, acknowledging that she understands his instructions, slowly standing up.
Jessy sees Christian, sighs with relief. With a smile and her ojos full of tears, she nods. Slowly she stands up without making any noise.
Paty nods contenta, softly crying in relief. Mi primo Chris is here, she thought, nodding following his instructions, standing up quietly.
Chris quickly gives them a quick hug. He then kneels and starts to get them free. Urgently he cuts the plastic straps that holds the chain at their ankles. Damn, estos animals, thought Chris. He is furious when he sees the deep red welts on their delicate skin. I’m going to kill each one on this damn compound. Chris stands up, attempting to smile to encourage them. He whispers in their ears that Gabriel is outside to help them go down.
I have to do something about their bare feet, he thought looking around. I don’t see their zapatos, and knowing them, they had on high heels. That will not help them get down, he thought grinning.
Si, they’re so feminine and delicate, I will wrap their feet. He quickly takes off the sheet on the bed, tears it up in strips. He indicates for them to sit on la cama. Quickly, efficiently he wraps up their feet with the strips of sheet, protecting them a little from the rough ground.
Paty looks at her primo softly wrap her feet up with the sheet, smiles. He is the greatest, she thought.
Bella is proud that her hermano is so sweet. He thinks of everything, smiling at him in gratitude.
Jessy smiles, thanks him with soft whisper. He is just great, she thought with relief that he is here to take them a casa.
Chris stands, smiles, making hand signals, indicating that one at a time will go down, to be quiet until all are out of the cuarto.
Paty, Bella, y Jessy nods in understanding. They walk to the window, onto the balcony, looking down. There is nothing to hold on to. There are lots of trees close to the balcony. Gabriel is waiting for them on the tree branch across from the balcony.
I will go first, thought Bella, jumping onto the tree. I know that I can do this. I always loved climbing trees with mis hermanos when I was small. Bella jumps onto the tree, and Gabriel assists her. Bella went climbing down the tree, making room for Paty y Jessy.
Yeah, mi prima did it, and I can do it too, thought Paty. Okay, I can do this. I never really liked climbing trees like Bella did, but I know I can do this. Paty crosses herself with her right hand before taking the jump. Okay, one, two, and tres, here I go. Paty jumps and holds onto Gabriel’s strong brazos as she lands, a little wobbly but grinning with relief. Si, I made it. Damn, that is scary, and I need to control mis nerves, she thought with relief. Paty smiles at Gabriel, following his directions, moves down the tree near Bella. Paty climbs down the tree to make room for Jessy.
Gabriel smiles and instructs her to go further down the tree next to Bella. Okay, now I need to help Jessy. She really looks terrified.
I’m scared, thought Jessy, watching Gabriel signal for her to jump. I know that Bella y Paty made it. I saw them jump, and it looks easy. Oh Dios mio it looks like the ground is really far. This is scary. What if I hurt mi bebe? Si, they are all waiting for me to jump. I’m wasting time. I need to get back to Jose Enrique.
Paty and Bella start to signal for her to jump.
Chris leans close and whispers, “You can do it.” He is watching Gabriel get ready to catch her.
Jessy looks at Gabriel’s smile and hears Chris. Si, I can do this for mi bebe. I have to get back para la casa. Jessy crosses
herself with her right mano, asking Dios to help her. She closes her ojos and jumps, landing on the branch, feeling Gabriel hold her. Jessy opens her ojos, smiles with relief. Si, I made it, and now I can go a casa. These wrappings that Chris did on mi feet feel comfortable.
Chris jumps on the other tree going down quickly and quietly. I need to be down on the ground to help them get down. He hikes over to the tree that the mujers are on. Okay, they are coming down. I will catch them.
Slowly and quietly Bella came down first, grinning. Si, I always loved climbing trees. This is fun.
Paty follows a little more slowly, cautiously trying not to think of what she is doing. Si, finally I’m almost there. I need to jump. Okay, mi primo, Chris, is ready to catch me in his strong brazos. Damn, mi primo is strong.
Okay, now its mi turn, thought Jessy. Here I go, but I’m going down slowly. I’m so contenta that Gabriel is behind me and can help. Hmmm … I’m almost down. I’m getting onto the last branch. This is not too bad, but it is scary. Okay, I need to sit down on this branch and balance. Chris is signaling me to jump. I know that Gabriel is right behind me, waiting. I need to do this quickly without thought. I know Chris will catch me. Damn, it’s still a little too high. Okay, Dios mio, take care of me y mi bebe. Here I go, she thought throwing herself down. Damn, Chris is strong, and he catches me like if I didn’t weigh a lot. I need to thank him, “Gracias.”
Chris nods, looking over at Gabriel.
Gabriel spoke into the mic in his ski mask to advise SOTO Officer Ford that they have las primas. “Goods extracted and secured,” said Gabriel, looking around, waiting for the orders.
“Request permission to infiltrate to eliminate,” requests Chris, looking at Gabriel with a raised eyebrow. I’m going in regardless, thought Chris, looking at Gabriel.
“Permission granted,” said Officer Ford, looking at the other men nod in agreement, “Sending McKay and Lewis in.”
“I want in,” said Corona, looking at Chris shake his cabeza in disagreement, looking at las mujers, “Need escort for goods.”
“Negative,” said Officer Ford, walking over to the area that De La Cruz and Corona are located, from the east of the villa, taking out another two drug soldiers out on the way.
I see that Corona has the ladies behind the trees. Damn, they are real beauties. I believe that they are even more beautiful in person. He nods in greeting to the young ladies. Wow, look at their beautiful smiles, he thought. Damn, I would have loved to have met them before, under different circumstances. I see that Corona is anxious to go with De La Cruz.
Gabriel is watching Chris with anxiety, sprinting across the terrain to enter the villa, shit. “Lewis, to assist me with these ladies,” said Officer Ford into the mic, “Corona, permission granted.”
Gabriel breaths in deeply with relief, urgently running right after Chris, Gabriel thought, Si I have to help Chris kill these bastardos.
“Lewis, let’s go and guard our backs,” said Officer Ford heading toward the boat, leading the group. Lewis is the last one in the group, covering their backs.
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO
THE SEALS HEARD THE ALARM go off, and they know the drug lord soldiers will soon be on them. Now the heat is on. The drug cartel lord is aware that the mujers are gone. The drug soldiers are now in fighting mode. There is a lot of yelling and gunfire going on, making Bella, Paty, and Jessy real nervous as they attempt to keep up with the officer.
The group almost makes it to the beach. They can see the ocean and hear the waves crashing against the rocks. The group is intersected by eight drug soldiers. “Run to the boat,” yells Officer Ford as he and Lewis engage with the drug soldiers.
Okay, I need to run, thought Bella, running toward the beach. Oh dios mio, she thought, running as fast as she can. I’m going to die, she thought looking back. Oh no, there’s un hombre chasing me. Bella trips over a branch and goes stumbling down onto the beach scraping her knees. Oh Dios mio, help me, he’s going to catch me. Bella yells at the top of her lungs with terror.
The drug soldier picks her up, striking her across the cara. Bella cries out, and her cabeza whips back from the force. The drug soldier strikes her again, splitting her lower lip. Her lip starts to bleed. Her blood travels down her chin. The huge drug soldier throws Bella over his shoulder walking back to the villa. Si, El Mextli is going to be real contento with me, he thought.
“Help me, please help me, Greg,” she yells, sobbing hysterically for her esposo. I’m so afraid and it hurts. Crying in pain, she begins to hit the bastardos back with her fists, yelling for help.
Jessy sees the hombres and starts to tremble with terror. Oh dios mio, please help us. I need to run. I will make it to the boat. I’m not looking back, I have to make it. Mi bebe, Dios mio, help us. I have to run faster.
Okay, I’m on the beach. Where is the boat? I don’t see it. I don’t see the boat. I have to stay calm. I need to know that Bella and Paty are okay. Jessy turns to look back to see if they are coming. Oh dios mio, I don’t see them. I can’t stop shaking. This is so scary.
I need to locate the boat. Should I walk into the sea? It’s so dark and cold. I can’t cry, thought Jessy, wiping at her tears. Where is the boat? The moonlight is not strong enough for me to see anything out in the dark ocean. I’m going in further into the ocean. Dios mio, please help me find the boat. Oh I can see the boat. I see the dark outline of the boat. There are two small inflatable boats waiting for us. Si, I need to hurry and get in one of those boats. I need to get on the boat, she thought, frantically waded through the sea.
Si, I need to climb up onto this boat. I have to pull myself up. Huh, someone is helping me up. It is un hombre. Is he a SEAL? I pray that he is, thought Jessy, looking up into the hombre’s cara. I made it. Hmmm … is he another SEAL?
The SEAL assists her to the boat bench. He bends down and gives her a towel.
“Thank you,” she whispers, taking the towel from his manos. Where is Paty y Bella? Is that Bella yelling? She needs help? This SEAL next to me can help them, she thought, turning to him to ask him to help them.
Oh dios mio, he is shaking his cabeza no. Damn, what can I do? Somebody has to help her. Bella is punching the drug soldier with her fists. I don’t think that she is strong enough to make that bastardo release her. Geeze with the illumination of the moonlight, it makes it much easier to see, thought Jessy, watching the entire scene.
I can see the beach real clearly. I need to keep up with Jessy, thought Paty, running behind her. Shit, two gunshots hit me. This is real painful. Damn, I’m falling. I need help. “Help me! Help me!” she yells with pain. “I’m shot!” She starts to get up, trying to walk closer to the shore. Paty hears Bella screaming for help. I need to help mi prima, she thought, wildly running toward Bella as fast as she can.
I need something to hit that bastardo, thought Paty as she picks up a branch from the ground. Yeah, I’ll hit the bastardo as hard as I can on la cabeza. He better put me prima down, thought Paty with rage. She goes toward where Bella is attempting to hit the drug soldier’s cabeza. Paty is high on adrenaline and doesn’t feel the pain of the two gunshots in her right thigh. She is full of fear and rage.
“Help me!” yells Bella. I need to make him put me down before he takes me back to la casa, she thought with fear. I’m going to hit his hard cabeza, she thought, raining all the punches that she can.
Paty manages to run as fast as she can to catch up to Bella and takes a swing, hitting the hombre in his groin causing him to go down onto his knees, yelling out in excruciating pain, letting go of Bella.
Bella quickly struggles out of his brazos, picks up a rock to hit the bastardo on the cabeza with all of her strength.
Si, I’m real close to the bastardo now, Paty thought. I need to hit him again. This bastardo is dead. Paty takes another swing, but before she could make contact with the branch, she is stopped by another animal.
Another drug soldier approach Paty and grabs her brazos. He tugs the branch
, swings it across the beach. The drug soldier is laughing, hold her real tight, walking away.
“No!” yells Paty in agonizing pain and fear, trying to make the bastardo to let go.
Bella turns as Paty yells and sees the bastardo that has Paty in his brazos starting to walk away. No way in hell will I allow this bastardo to take mi prima, thought Bella. This one is down, and Paty needs me. Bella picks up the branch that the drug soldier has thrown down.
Si, I’m killing this one. With rage Bella runs after the hombre that is walking away with Paty. Bella takes a swing, hitting the drug soldier hard in the knees, cracking his kneecaps. The impact and damage causes the drug soldier to fold, yelling out in horrendous pain. His grip grew slack, and Paty quickly moves out of his brazos. Si, thought Bella, swinging at his cabeza with all her strength, knocking him out. The hombre falls forward onto his cara with a loud, excruciating scream.
Paty y Bella turn to look at each other smiling. Si, we make a great tag team. Yeah, all the play fighting with our hermanos helped.
Bella then sees that Paty is bleeding. “Prima, your leg,” said Bella as Paty looks at her right leg that is bleeding and faints. Paty has lost a lot of blood, and she finally feels the pain.
Bella moves quickly to look at Paty’s leg. Oh dios mio, Paty has two gun wounds, and they are bleeding like crazy. I need to do something. I need help to get her to the boat. I will have to drag her because I’m not risking leaving her on the beach to get help. Bella wraps her brazos under Paty’s brazos, starts to pull her slowly. Hmm … mi prima is dead weight because I know that she doesn’t weigh a lot. Bella is starting to get real tired, sits down to take a deep breath before continuing to pull Paty again. Just as Bella is going to try again, she feels a mano on her shoulder, causing her to yell out in terror.
