"عن ما (About What ?)"

"حول الأمريكيين ، تقول الشائعات أنهم بدأوا في إعادة تسليح أنفسهم (About the Americans, Rumor has it that they began to Rearm themselves)"

"لا توجد طريقة ، هؤلاء الوثنيون بالكاد يتعافون من الاحتلال ، فهم لا يزالون ضعفاء على حد علمي (there's no way, those heathens are barely recovered from the Occupation, they are still weak as far as i know)"

Just a few blocks from where they stand, Unknown Individuals began to Move in to them

"ربما ، لكن هذا ليس كل شيء ، سمعت أن هناك شيئًا مختلفًا عن الأمريكيين (maybe, but that's not all, i heard that there's something different about the Americans)"

"يقول الناس أنهم أصبحوا الآن شيئًا آخر (people says that they now became something else)"

"في ماذا (Into What ?)"

"الوحوش..... (Monsters.....)"

The Individuals spotted them

"......Overlord, this is Hunter 2-1, got several Tangos, orders sir ?"

"Hold fire, we don't want to spook them, plus we just be ready to commence the live test"

"This test better be worth it"

"It has to"

"ما الذي تتحدث عنه (what are you talking about ?)"

"What's this test all about actually ?"

"Hall believes that in order to overcome the 4GW, we have to utilize our Agility, our Strength, and our Senses, 

"alright, so who is this guys ?"

"Some Separatist Organization called "Houthis", Nationalistic as fuck, these guys were pissed about practically everybody, on Old Government, on the Yemeni Government, on Israel"

"Speaking of Israel, Kellar didn't accept their plea for help ?"

"Yeah, thinking it bring too much trouble so they decided to stay Neutral and stay off from Middle East, plus Both Middle East and Israel were one of the main causes of the Occupation of America, and i bet those "Plea" would be fighting and bomb the shit of the Palestinians, let those Israelis and Palestinians sort this out themselves, it's none of our business"

"alright, but how did the Israelis Take it ?"

"Not very well, last i heard"

"لكن الأهم من ذلك ، كانت عيونهم حمراء ، وسوف يقتلون أي شخص يقف في طريقهم (but most importantly, their eyes were Red, and they will kill anyone stand in their way)"

"Mr Castillo, i may had no kid myself, but i know an kid when he or she is in Rebellious Phase, especially when you lost someone when you were kid"

"yeah, but that's not all, this city has one of highest rate of murders in Mexico, caused by Criminals and Drug Cartels, and that's is why i decided to hire an Personal Bodyguard for her, to keep her safe"

"alright, but why not move out, you were an Banker of an Major Bank in Mexico, why not go to the Mexico City or Monterrey?"

''October 6, 2028. Mariscos El Faro, Monumental, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 17:45 PM''

Jimmy is eating an food along with someone, an White Young Man in front of him

"so you got the job ?"

"yep, easy, he even disregard my criminal record"

"haha, see i told you he will do that, i mean that criminal record exist when the Old Country is still standing, it's now considered outdated you know, nobody wanna pry that again"

"yeah, you were right, Zack"

"so who's the one you were guarding again ?"

"his daughter, named Elena Castillo, i heard from him that she's in her rebellious phase"

"her age ?"

"17"

"make senses, Teenagers like her were prone to do something stupid, like you and me...."

"get the fuck outta here...."

"i'm serious, you got that criminal record for stealing your classmate car for being a jerk, me, i got an criminal record for hack and posting embarrasing photos of the man who's been bullied me off"

"hahahaha, oh man it's was good times"

"yeah, a good times......"

Zach then looked at the wall on the America-Mexico Border

"..........."

Jimmy then looked at where he see, and began to understand

"hey, you still missed it ?"

"yeah, bro, just a stretch of miles and San Diego is on sight, .........man"

"........."

"........the "New Americans", wonder they will do a better job than our old government would"

"yeah, by the way this Kellar Girl, she's one hell of an President if i ever saw one"

"yep, became the first president of the America Federation at age 17, and she restored almost infrastructure, economy, and creating the Armed Forces in just an year following the aftermath of the Occupation, she done more than an good job than Old Country Presidents did."

"yeah, if Old Country had someone like her back then....."

".........yep"

both Zack and Jimmy then looked at the wall.

"......speaking of America, looks like Drug Cartels here are beginning to lose influences"

"The hell you're talking about ?"

"Illegal Drug Trafficking began to decline, back then Drug trafficking start from Latin America where Drugs were being produced and trafficked to North, toward America, and then through the world, but now....."

"What ?"

"The Traffic stop there, i heard, there are two causes, one is that the border between America-Mexico were kept shut, also include Air Traffic to America. As the result Border Crossing in America-Mexico Border are now empty, no one in or out. Second is that i heard that Drug Cartels sent their guys into the Border to trafficked Illegal Drug into America, but days later they lost contact, nobody not even the cartels had no idea where they are now"

"Really ?"

"Yeah, as the result a lot of Heroin and Cocaine's got stuck here in Mexico, and the Cartels began to lose money fast"

"If they can't go through America, why not just go through Europe, Asia, or Africa"

"That's the thing, the Cartels too sent their guys to Europe, but never heard again as in America, in Asia The Chinese keep cracking down Drug Traffickers, and enhanced securities by Asian Countries, and in Africa shit went into the fan, you heard about South Africa ?"

"Yeah, ......so we don't have to worry about The Cartels no more ?"

"I don't think so, when someone is weakened, that's when they will do everything they can for survival, even with Violence, no doubt Tijuana will suffered another waves of Violent Crimes again"

"I get what you're saying......."

"Yeah, and that's not all...."

"What now....."

"Remember what happen Last year ?"

"Yeah......, not an finest hour for America"

"right, remember that Chinese Soldier, who takes off his equipment and Frantically climb the Border Wall into Mexico....."

"yeah, guy was kinda crazy, told us that he trying to escape from "Monsters" or stuff, last i saw him when he got dragged away by National Guard"

"Yep, turns out he committed suicide by jumping from an Sanatorium Roof, normally i don't care about that "monster" thing he talking about, but that got me curious after watching TV Networks Signals from America"

"And....."

"Apparently that Bioweapon Called "BW-1", they changed it's name to "Valkyur", i don't know why though"

"Hmm....."

"I also learn from the TV about something called "Afflicted", again i don't know what the hell does that mean"

".........that is strange"

"Yeah, ........but it's probably nothing"

".........right"

"yeah, but recently their powers were began to decline as we closed down Borders with Mexico and we just happen to captured smuggles trying to enter the country, some of them even gets out from an manmade tunnels down below, those sneaky assholes, if it wasn't for the "Red Eye" sense, these guys will surely have free access to America"

"and how's Walshbury and her man do ?"

"well, asides of accepting "Afflicted" Refugees, she and her man captured more than 5.000 people and secured more than 80 Tunnels through the Borders"

"that's a lot of tunnels, those cartels must have some screw loose on their head" Curtis said

"well, those cartels had no idea who exactly we are, so they see us as any other humans"

"make sense, even China and Russia didn't believe the surviving soldiers statements after that operation, thinking they were shellshocked"

"yeah, but the problem we now discuss right now would be "Afflicted" in Northern Mexico, here is the recent Satellite Image above Mexico"

Hall shows an footage of Satellite Images of Mexico

".....and here's is the footage of the detector we placed on the satellite"

the footage changed, revealing small red dots, all of them were concentrated in Northern Mexico

"following the aftermath of Bioweapon Attack, the mist contained the pathogen began to spill over to Northern Mexico, Mexicans believe it to be "Unidentified Illness", and the Mexican Government didn't even know that their country were affected by "Valkyur", at least in the Northern region"

"okay, so what's the story"

"first off, Mexico Population mostly consistuted with "Mestizos", those who had European and Amerindians Genetics in their body, some of them even had African Genetics, Northern Mexico Mestizos European Genetics were Prevalent there, between 66.7-95%, it also had Highest Percentage of Mexican European Population, so it makes senses if the Northern Region is the hardest hit, the only thing baffled us is that some of the "Mestizos" were "Afflicted", some of them stay dead, some of them "Immune", and some of them suffered from the "Snyder Syndrome", Weaver estimated that over 5-10% of Young Population in Northern Mexico will likely became "Afflicted", even when they had no idea"

"that is a problem" Diaz said

"second, some of the "Afflicted" were coincidentally were victims of Crime-related Violence, some of them were done by Cartels, so when they "revived" they decided to take matters in their own hands"

Hall then shows News Footages and several Photos

"their damages were pretty significant, lots of people die over the violent fighting, and everybody pissed"

"Exactly, i'm ordering the Deployment of JSOC into Mexico to secretly retrieve "Afflicted" from the area, so far we managed to retrieved over 1.000 "Afflicted" out of Mexico, the "Red Eye" Sense makes it easy to identified which one is "Afflicted" in Mexico" Simpson said.

"good....., but i assume there's more"

"Ah yes, because of the Unusual Violence, some of the citizens are began to believe that the "Afflicted" were "monsters" and cause some sort of Witch Hunt against "Afflicted" which became the reason why they escape from Mexico, and one of the Delta Force Team that was sent to retrieved "Afflicted" are found this......."

Hall then plays an video, it shows several Mexican Police beating up an Young man

"Oh christ....."

After the video ends, Simpson began to explain

"This was taken last night, fortunately the cops left him and the team take that chance to retrieved him up, he's doing okay in Laughlin AFB" Simpson said

"well, my point is this, when you have an "Monsters" in front of People, they will instantly fear it, some even use violence against it, if this continues......"

"............i see where this is going, this is a really hard choice"

"Yeah, those "Afflicted" are same as us, we need to do something" Ross said

"I already talked to Senators and House Representatives, and they decided that it was the best choice, madam president, and besides People are beginning to concerned about the effect of being an "Afflicted" in an Human Populace" Curtis said

"And besides it's the best chance to see if the tactics that Hall Proposed were working or Not" Simpson said

"It's your choices, Madam President, take your time" Tennyson said

"............(sighs) Diaz, prepared the Document about Declaration of War"

"Yes, Ma'am"

"Hall, Tennyson, how long will you prepared the men ?"

"A day, Ma'am"

"alright, ......speaking of which, how's the new uniform ?"

"Oh, it's Very Comfortable, Others are like it too" Hall said

"Yeah, the only things that still baffles me were this Short Pleated Skirt, i mean i know this is made with Nano-Fabric Armor, but wearing this......"

"(Giggles) apparently Angela got the Uniform Setup design from some Japanese Anime's, she's very obsessed with it and when she hear about the tests, she immediately proposed the uniform design, i watch some of them with her from her big collection, and i kinda understand her reason"

"Wait, What !, oh my god that geek girl has gone too far" Tennyson in disbelief

"Relax, Michelle, at least this Uniform is of any use, everyone who see this getup would be fooled for sure" Hall Said

"It better"

"Hahaha, i bet those Japanese Cartoons were going to take over this Nation by storm in near future" Simpson said

Everyone began to laughed at Simpson jokes

Room Break
''October 15, 2028. Castillo Residence, San Jacinto, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 17:25 PM''

"¿QUÉ QUIERES DECIR QUE NO PUEDO IR? (WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T GO ?)"

Jimmy began to wake up over an loud voice

"huh ?, what the....."

Jimmy then gets up from the sofa and open the door, there Mr Castillo and Elena is having an argument

"porque es, todavía tienes diecisiete años, por qué diablos vas a una discoteca de noche con tus amigos, y ni me lo dijiste ... (because it is, you're still seventeen years old, why the hell you go to a nightclub at night with your friends, and you didn't even tell me about it.....)"

"esta es la razón por la que no te lo dije, y además puedo cuidarme solo (this is the reason why i didn't tell you, and besides i can look after myself)"

"........ entonces me dejaste sin otras opciones (........then you're left me with no other choices)"

Mr Castillo then suddenly grabbed and dragged Elena into her room

"hey que estas haciendo, déjame ir ahora mismo (hey, what are you doing ?, let me go right now)"

Mr Castillo then throw Elena into the room and locked the door

"Elena, estoy haciendo esto por tu propio bien, así que por ahora compórtate, entiende (Elena, i'm doing this for your own good, so for now behave yourself, understand)"

"papá, abre la puerta esta instancia (papa, open the door this instance)"

Jimmy then approach Mr Castillo

"sir, uhh...."

"ah, Mr Garcia, sorry you have to witness such thing"

"it's okay, but what happen ?"

"Apparently Elena is trying to leave into an Nightclub with her friends at night, and considering recent events, i thought that it would only endangered her"

"i understand that, but locking your daughter into her room ?"

"do i look like i have a choice, i already lost my wife in the accident, i can't afford to lose my only daughter"

"point taken, by the way what's with the suit ?"

"oh this, i will be gone for an meeting at the Headquarters in Mexico City that start tommorow, it's only for a couple of days, so i need you to keep an eye of her, here is her room key"

Mr Castillo hand Jimmy an Room Key

"and don't worry about the room window, it's been reinforced with steel, all you gotta do was to hold this room key, understand"

"yes, Mr Castillo"

"good"

"Señor Castillo, el taxi está aquí (Mr Castillo, the taxi is here)"

"that's my taxi to the airport, don't let me down, Mr Garcia"

"i will, sir, be careful on your trip"

Mr Castillo then went outside the house and into an Taxicab, the Taxicab then leave the house

".........oh well, this should be an easy job"

meanwhile inside Elena's room, she's walked back forth to thinking up a way

"dammit, i can passed throught the security gate undetected, but the problem lies on the door, and even did i somehow managed to open the door that stupid bodyguard will catch up to me, this is a real headache....."

Elena then looked at the Reinforced Window

"i could try to escape through window, but papa reinforced the window with steel......"

Elena then approach and open the window door, then she touched the steel

"........that means i can't get outta this room, SHIT"

in angry mode, Elena Smack the Reinforced Steel, of which the window butt is suddenly broken, the reinforced steel is then drop down into the ground

"..........the steel must be rusty, ......lucky me" Elena said in grinning smile

.............

.............

.............

20:02 PM

Jimmy is patrolling down the house

".........it's now 8 PM, better check Elena if she's calmed down"

Jimmy then approach Elena's room and knocked the door

"Elena, it's me Garcia, are you in there ?"

no sounds was heard on the room

"hey, Elena, are you still pissed ?"

again, no sounds was heard

"..........."

Jimmy then decided to use the room key and open the door

"Elena, are you alr......, what the fuck....."

Jimmy then looked at the now empty room, and immediately went into the opened window, there he found an rope heading toward the ground, Jimmy then dragged the rope back up, he also spotted the reinforced steel now in the ground

"how the fuck is she......"

Jimmy then spotted an letter on the desk, he then read it

"sorry, mr bodyguard, i'm just gonna go with my friends for a while, don't worry about me, i will be back, oh yeah, don't tell my papa about this. Elena"

"that little punk...."

Jimmy then immeditately went outside the room when he encountered the maid

"Jimmy, what's going on"

"Elena, somehow she managed to escape"

"oh dear, that girl are always causing trouble, but this is a first she pulled off something like this"

"yeah, either way i'm gotta go, i need to find her fast and dragged her back to the house, otherwise i'm screwed"

"do what you have to do, just bring here safe, alright"

"you got it"

Jimmy then went into his room as he began to make a call

"c'mon, pick up....."

the phone then picked up

"(Phone) Jimmy, why you suddenly called"

"hey, Zack, i got a problem, bro"

"(Phone) what is it ?, is it serious ?"

"hell yeah this is serious, remember the girl i mention, she ran out from the house"

"(Phone) what ?"

"she attempt to go to the nightclub but her father disapprove and locked her up into her room, but somehow that rusty steel that was supposed to reinforced the window fell, and she use that chance to get outta the room, oh god...."

"(Phone) that is quite serious, do you have a clue which Nightclub she going to ?"

"no...."

"(Phone) .......you had her phone number "

".......as a matter of fact, yeah, my boss give her phone number to called if something happen"

(Phone) okay, what is the phone number ?"

Jimmy then told Zack of Elena's Phone Number

"(Phone) okay, i got my laptop with me, and i think i can ping her location throught the satellite"

"you had a satellite ?"

"(Phone) yeah, an decommisioned USAF Satellite, figured nobody use that anymore...."

"okay, location ?"

(Phone) one second, ..........it's looks like Elena is heading to an Nightclub called "COKO BONGO", on 1659 Av Revolución, Zona Centro"

"sent me the location, now"

"(Phone) on it, oh yeah use the Radio Earpieces i give you back in the day, Custom-Made by myself, to keep contact between us, you know, Smartphone battery can run out, right ?"

"yeah, thanks for the heads up, let me know if something comes up, alright"

"(Phone) right bro, be careful"

Jimmy then hung up the phone and enter his room, then he grabbed an Earpieces and put it into one of his ears, he then grabbed his Glock 19 Pistol and Magazines from the table, he also grabbed the car keys and wearing his grey jacket and gets out from the room

Jimmy then shouts at the security guard as he gets out from the house

"oye, abre la puerta (Hey, Open the Gate)"

"sí señor (Yes, Sir)"

"Zack, talk to me"

"(Radio) alright, according to the ping location, she's already arrived at the nightclub, and i ran through her social page, and it confirmed from her recent posted photos that she still at the nightclub as of now"

"what a idiot, posting your location on the social media, that's a quickest way to found someone, but how the hell she managed to get passed the nightclub bouncers, as far as i know nightclub imposed legal limit"

"(Radio) probably lie to the bouncer and passed herself as adult, kids these days"

"right, thank you man, you were really helpful"

"(Radio) no problem, and besides, Marines help each other"

"yeah"

after a while, the benz arrived at the "COKO BONGO" Nightclub, he then put his pistol on the side seat and gets out the car, he then approach the bouncer who were busy checking

"disculpe señor, tiene que ponerse en fila como los demás ...(excuse me sir, you gotta have to get in line as others.....)"

"no, no, no, no estoy aquí para festejar, busco una chica que entró al club, aquí está su foto, la reconoció (no, no, no, i'm not here for partying, i'm looking for an girl who went inside the club, here is her photo, recognized her)"

Jimmy shows Elena's photo to the bouncer

"su ? ¿Tiene 21 años? (Her ?, is her age is 21 ?)"

"no, ella tiene 17, ahora si no quieres que te despidan por permitir que una chica de 17 años ingrese al club, tienes que dejarme pasar, solo tengo que encontrarla y traerla de regreso a su casa, entiendo (no, she's 17, now if you don't want to get fired for allowing an 17 year old girl into the club, you gotta have to let me pass, i'm just gotta find her and brought her back to her house, understand)"

''........ ¿quién eres exactamente? (........who are you exactly ?)"''

"yo ?, soy su guardaespaldas, ahora puedes dejarme entrar? (me ?, i'm her bodyguard, now can you let me in ?)"

Jimmy then went into the club, inside many people were partying inside, loud music plays through the club, He then search around the club

"alright, Zack, did you had her exact location ?"

"(Radio) according to her recent social post, she's in a Bar desk along with her friends, looks like she been drinking alcohol quite a lot"

"drinking alcohol at age 17 ?, that girl will have serious talk with her father once he gets back"

as Jimmy looked around, he spotted Elena, wearing the clothes she buy a while ago, drinking a shots of alcohol

"ahhhhh, no importa si bebo, todavía no puedo emborracharme (ahhhhh, no matter i drink, i still can't get drunk)"

"wow, Elena, tienes una gran tolerancia, ya bebes más de 10 tragos (wow, Elena, you got strong tolerance, you already drink over 10 shots already)" said one of her friends

"alright, let me know if something comes up"

"(Radio) Wilco"

the car then arrived and stopped at the warehouse, there he see several men armed with SMG's and Machine Pistol

"shit, Zack, i saw dozen of armed guys outside the warehouse"

"(Radio) you were right, shit, even the inside the warehouse there more of them"

"can you hack into the security cameras ?"

"(Radio) one second....., yes, i can, one moment"

after a while, Zack finally answer

"(Radio) alright, i got a positive ID of Elena, looks like she is tied in a chair along with dozen of armed guys in there, one of them is making a call to someone and hang up........."

"what !, then that means....."

suddenly Jimmy phone's were ringin

"hello"

"Mr Garcia, what is this, is my daughter really kidnapped ?"

"Mr Castillo....., yes sir she is, (sighs) it's like this...."

Jimmy then explain Mr Castillo about what just happen

"oh my god, how could Elena done something so stupid"

"it's my fault, sir, i should pay more attention to her and my surroundings, if i....."

"........you said you knew the kidnapper's whereabouts is ?"

"yes sir, i'm looking at their place right now....."

"please, Mr Garcia, Elena is the only thing i had in this world, i can't afford to lose her, please, save her"

"i know, Mr Castillo, you daughter will be saved, trust me"

"..........i pray to god for your success, Mr Garcia"

the phone then hang up

".......Zack, can you help me ?"

"(Radio) of course, just tell me what to do"

"alright, do you know some sort of entry point, something that could......"

"(Radio) already did, go to the side, there's an small house there, looks abandoned, you can climb your way up to the roof and jump across the fence undetected"

"understood"

Jimmy then grabbed his Glock 19 Pistol, checking his pistol, and gets out the car

he then approach the abandoned house and went into the side, he then went up toward the roof using an stairs who were lying on the ground and climb up to the roof

"okay, here goes"

Jimmy then ran and jump across the fence and landed safely

"hoooh"

Jimmy then quietly approach an door, he then opens it, revealing cars inside the warehouse including the white van, there's also many guards in the warehouse, many boxes are also there

"......gotta be careful"

Jimmy then stealthily evades several guards, and hide behind a pile of boxes, there two guards are discussing something

"¿Entonces el último falló? (so the latest one failed ?)"

"Sí, al igual que otros, escuché que Catalina está extremadamente enojada. (yeah, just like others, i heard Catalina is extremely pissed)"

"mierda, ¿qué pasa ahora? (shit, so what happens now ?)"

"El jefe no tuvo más remedio que posponer la distribución, diablos, incluso nos dijo que cerráramos los túneles. (boss had no choice but to postpone the distribution, hell he even told us to close the tunnels)"

"como ese túnel en la habitación? (like that tunnel in the room ?)"

"Sí, joder, en ese entonces podíamos traficar drogas fácilmente, pero ahora, con las fronteras estadounidenses cerradas y sin contactos de nuestros muchachos en Estados Unidos, las cosas eran bastante sombrías. (yeah, fuck, back then we can trafficked drugs easily, but now, with the American Borders shut down tight and with no contacts of our guys in America, things were pretty bleak)"

"¿y esa es la razón por la que El jefe ordenó a Carlos secuestrar a una chica rica (and that's the reason The Boss Ordered Carlos to kidnap a rich girl ?)"

"sí, el negocio de los narcóticos está en declive y el jefe decidió que para ganar más dinero debemos buscar en otra parte (yeah, Narcotic Business is in decline, and boss decided that in order to make more money we need to look elsewhere)"

the guards then leave

"christ, these guys weren't ordinary kidnapping gang, they were part of an Drug Cartel....."

"(Radio) well, that would make sense, with their drug money dryed out, they decided to branch out for other activities for example, Kidnapping, they must have targeted her right from the start"

"which means i need to rescued her fast"

Jimmy then quietly passed more guards as he enter the room

"alright, Zack, where is she ?"

"(Radio) she should be on the other side of the door in front of you"

then suddenly a voice came out from the door

"Suéltame, lo juro, cuando salga de aquí, debo llamar a la policía y hacer que los arresten a todos. (let go of me, i'm swear, when i get outta here, i'm gotta called the police and had all of you arrested)"

"cierra la boca, perra (shut your mouth, you bitch)"

"que acabas de decirme (what did you just say to me)"

"yeah, she's there alright"

suddenly a man gets out from the room

"Dios, ¿alguien puede callar a esa perra?....... (god, can somebody shut that bitch up)"

Jimmy then point his gun at him

"no hagas nada estupido (don't do anything stupid)"

Jimmy then move along with the man in gunpoint into the room, everyone in the room began to point their guns at him

"bien, todos, déjenla ir ahora mismo (alright, everyone, let her go right now)"

"or what exactly ?"

"you speak english ?"

"of course, i also know you were American, because of your fucking accent"

"then that makes it easier, let her go right now, and we promised not to involve cops on this"

"no can do, Vato, this is business"

"business ?, this is a straight out fucking kidnapping, now me and her had no trouble with y'all, so just let us go and nobody will get hurt"

"not a chance"

the man then point his Silver-Plated Beretta 92 to Elena

"you put your gun down, or i shoot this bitch"

''"huh ?, wait....., you can't...." Elena said''

"Carlos, ¿qué demonios crees que estás haciendo? (Carlos, the hell you think you're doing ?)" said one of the Sicario's

"tranquilo (quiet)"

Carlos then puts his pistol toward Elena's head

"drop the gun, now, or i shoot"

"wait....., please don't shoot..... help....."

Elena is trembling in fear

"..........."

Jimmy were hesistant about what to do

".......DROP IT"

".........."

but just before Jimmy decided to put down the gun, an man frantically comes in, the man is in Panic Mode

"Carlos, Carlos, esto es malo, hombre, muy malo (Carlos, Carlos, this is bad, man, very bad)"

"diablos, estamos en medio de algo aquí ..... (the hell, we're in the middle of something here.....)"

"Jefe, todos estamos en una mierda profunda, muy, tenemos que salir de aquí (boss, we all in deep shit, very, we need to get the hell outta here)"

"De qué demonios estas hablando ? (what in the hell are you talking about ?)"

"es ....., será mejor que lo veas tú mismo (it's....., you better see this yourself)"

the man then approach an old TV and turn it on, there an News Report comes in

"...........El presidente de la Federación de América, Kellar, anunció una Declaración de Guerra a México que fue provocada por la constante incursión de los cárteles de la droga y la discriminación en contra de los "Afligidos" que incluso tenían pruebas innegables de que existen tales incidentes, allí proyectaron un video donde se encuentran varios Policías Municipales de Juárez. golpear a un niño por ser un "Monstruo". tal tema fue planteado por pequeños grupos de ciudadanos en el norte de México que ......

"Jefe, tenemos un problema (Boss, we have a problem)"

"Lo sé, esta mierda de Declaración ... (i know, this Declaration bullshit....)"

"es el americano, encontraron el túnel y se acercan aquí ahora (it's the Americans, they found the tunnel and approaching here now)"

"Qué ? (What ?)"

"nuestros hombres están tratando de detenerlos, pero ... (our men's trying to hold them off, but....)"

"........ nos vamos de aquí, ¡ahora! (........we're getting outta here, now !)"

"Carlos, ¿y ellos? (Carlos, what about them ?)"

"Dejarlos (Leave Them)"

Carlos and others then began to flee

"what in the hell......, oh right, Elena"

Jimmy then approach Elena

"are you alright ?"

"(Breathing) i'm fine, can you get me off this"

"sure"

Jimmy then untie Elena's Hand, after she was freed she then stand up

"(Breathing) so it's looks like my Papa's warning has some merits on it"

"exactly, can you walk ?"

"yeah, i think so ?"

"alright, let's get outta here"

both of them then gets out from the room, there Carlos and his men are preparing to leave the warehouse

"vamos, tenemos que irnos de aquí (c'mon, we need to get the hell outta here)"

as others we're busy preparing, an banging voice was heard on the barricaded door leading to the Smuggling tunnel

"!"

Several Sicario's then take position, aimed their weapons on the barricaded door

Jimmy and Elena then take cover behind the boxes

"what's going on ?"

"sshhh"

the banging voices became louder, and Sicario's were prepared to fire the weapons onto the door

but before they shoot, the banging voices stop

"..........."

everything went quiet all of sudden, everyone including Carlos stop their movement

"............"

then all of sudden, hail of fire went throught the door, killing Sicario's standing in front of the door

"oh shit...."

the door then breaks down, and the door was wide open

"dispárales, dispárales, ¡AHORA! (shoot them, shoot them, NOW !)"

Carlos ordered his men to open fire

American Soldiers then began to swarm the warehouse, and an gunfight between Sicario's and American Soldiers ensures

"sácanos de aquí (drive us outta here)"

"Lo tienes jefe (You got it, Boss)"

Carlos then leave the Warehouse with his Cadillac Escalade SUV

"oh my god, oh my god, this isn't what i had in mind to finish the day"

"stay calm, just breathed slowly"

firefigth continues

"........Hopkins, flank them up, we provide cover fire"

"roger"

as others give cover fire, an young short brunette girl rushed out from cover and using her agility, went into the top of an Cadillac Escalade SUV and shoot several Sicario's down with her Federal Arsenal M27 PDW.

"carajo, dispara a esa perra (the fuck, shoot that bitch)"

an Sicario trying to shoot her, but was shot in long range by an young black-haired boy with his Mk 14 EBR

"got ya"

"alright, everyone, move, move, move"

the Soldiers then move out of cover

an young girl with long blonde hair is firing her Federal Arsenal M1 Novak Assault Rifle and killed several Sicario's, then suddenly an Sicario grabbed her from behind and attempt to kill her with Knife

"te tengo, perra (got you, you bitch)"

"let go, you fuck...."

the girl then stomp his leg, and get away from him, he then attempt to attack, but as he attack, she catch his shoulder, broke his arm, and stabbed his throat with his own hands, he then collapsed

"asshole...."

another boy shoots his Rifle when he encountered an Sicario, he then fired his Beretta 92 Pistol to him, it hit him in the head, but instead the bullet is hitting an Invisible Shield

".......bad choice, Pal"

the Sicario, clearly baffled by this, attempt to shoot again, but before he can do that the boy broke his leg, and shoot him in the head with his Rifle, he then collapse

as the girl atop the car went back to the ground, she is faced with an Muscled Man in front of her

"que vas a hacer, niña (what you gonna do, little girl)"

"hmph, gimme a break"

the man attacked her, but she evade his attacks, at one point he use his fist toward her, but she catch his fist and twisted his arm

"(Screams in Pain)"

she then broke his leg, causing him to collapse, Reload her Gun, and shoot him in the head with her gun, he then collapsed

As the situation unfolded, Jimmy and Elena is in sight of disbelief

"Holy shit, that girl just killed that Big Guy, is she some kind of monster....."

"What the hell....."

The gunfire stopped

".........we clear, stand down"

Soldiers began to check the bodies

''"Overlord, this is Bravo 1 Actual, engaging with Armed Men, Possibly Members of......, Woods, you got any idea who this guys are ?" Captain Luis F. Mendoza said''

"Probably Sinaloa Cartel, they had strong presence here in Tijuana" First Sergeant Dylan S.Woods said

"........possibly Sinaloa Cartel, Over"

"Copy that, is there are any survivors in this area ?"

"So far nothing, sir"

"Sheesh, Those So called "Sicario" were troublemakers, no doubt" Private First Class Jennifer F.Hawking said

"Yeah, but in the end we won, some of those guys were scared as hell" Private Rick C.Owens said

"but still, this "REDEYE-COM"...., it's pretty useful" Private Lorenzo G.Perez said

''"Yeah, i'm hear that they used the same technology of Coil Shield at the Navy Ships....." Private Emma S.Parker said''

"Exactly, speaking of which, you're really doing great, you wiped those guys off like it was nothing, Hopkins" Private First Class Vincent F.Esposito said

"It was nothing compared to your shot, thanks" Corporal Tiffany J.Hopkins said

"Still, the way you handled that big guy, and hearing him suffering, that is just beautiful" Jennifer said

"Well, that big guy must have workout each day in some GYM in this city" Dylan said

"Yeah, so what now ?, sir" Rick said

"Search around for any stragglers, and lookout for any "Afflicted" in this area, when you had confirmation, let me know, got it" Luis said

"Yes, sir"

As the Soldiers search around, Jimmy and Elena are contemplating about what to do

"What do we do, if these guys finds us....."

"Oh crap......, just let me think of something"

One of the Soldiers then began to approach where they hide

"Huh ?, i sense someone there ?, Lorenzo said

".........."

The Soldier then began to approach it, but suddenly an Man, Armed with an Smith & Wesson Model 19 Revolver then appear out of nowhere and began to shoot

"muere, maldito maricón, muere (die, you fucking faggot, die)"

But the bullet missed the soldiers, they were clearly baffled by it, and then decided to shot

"Eh ?"

Before he know it, he was gunned down by the soldiers

"Now !"

Using this chance, Jimmy and Elena then escape

"Hey, we got a runner"

The Soldiers then went after them

Both of them then get into the car

"Get in, get in, get in"

The car then started

"Esposito, shoot the car engine"

"Roger"

As the Benz drove off, Esposito fired several bullets toward the engine

The Benz began to disappear from their sight

"Don't worry, they will not go very far" Mendoza said

State of War
''October 15, 2028. Zona Norte, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 20:40 PM''

The Benz began to drive fast through the road, Jimmy trying to get an hold on Zack, but he didn't answer

"c'mon, Zack, answer......"

"who are you calling ?"

"a friend of mine, so Elena, you sure you're okay ?"

"what do you think, we just getting involved in Gunfight between an Drug Cartel against American Soldiers, i mean did you see what those guys did...."

"yeah, in my life as an Marine, i never see such tactics, let alone their speed, their strength, and they even still young, most of them must be younger than 20, and then there's that uniform"

"you mean those suits they wearing"

"yeah, normally Soldiers were equipped with everything to protect themselves, these guys....."

"i didn't mean to interrupt, but i saw one of those armed guys fire his gun to an soldier head, and it just hit something invisible"

"what do you mean ?"

"like, something invisible protect their heads, kinda like Sci-Fi thing"

"oh christ, looks like the New Americans were more advanced that i thought, that i can understand, but those outfits they wear...."

"hey, an girl wearing that Black Blazer with White Dress Shirt and black tie, and that Short Pleated Skirt, it's actually pretty sexy......."

"are you serious ?"

"hey, i love fashion, i just giving out my opinion"

"sure, but those outfits, that ain't right, i mean, you can't just........"

suddenly the Benz Engine began to smoked

"the hell"

"oh no, no, no"

the Benz then began to stop

"fuck me...."

Jimmy then gets out the car and open the Engine Hood, there an large cloud of smoke came out from the engine

"what's the problem ?"

".......looks like one of those soldiers fire must have hit the engine, this car is toast"

"then how the hell are we supposed to get outta here ?"

".......then we had no choice but to walk"

"what !, uhhh, i'm sorry, but do you realised where we are now, and not to mention with those soldiers behind us"

"hey, it's either walk, or getting captured by those guys, now c'mon, i got my gun with me, don't worry"

".......oh great"

Elena then gets out the car and follow Jimmy as they abandoned the car

after a while walking, they see several American Army UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter passing by

"..........."

"looks like they invade Mexico after the American President declared war, but why......."

"maybe it has something to do with "Afflicted" ?"

"what're you mean ?"

"well, i don't know the details but some of the people in the city were chanting about something called "Monsters" that they believe were the main cause of the Violence that began few months ago....."

"yeah, i too saw the news, i even saw several people beating somebody, the government believe it to be nothing but an superficial, but still......."

"i couldn't be so sure, after all, it all began on an social page post"

"what kind of post ?"

"well......, i never saw the post, but i do know that it's contained what the account owner said as "evidence" that "Monsters" exist"

"you really starting to confuse me....."

suddenly an UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter began to descend

"shit, hide"

both of them then hide in an alley

"go, go, go"

Soldiers then began to rappling down from the helicopter

"secure the area, go"

Soldiers began to move out

"shit...., we can't go this way"

both of them went through the alley

as they arrived at the end of alley, several Federal Arsenal HTV-1's passing by through the street

".........we clear"

both of them move through the street, and enter into another alley

"how the hell we supposed ot get outta here"

"just keep walking"

eventually they arrived at an small street

"okay, now what ?"

"let me think....."

but before Jimmy can think, he spotted an HTV-1 Vehicle coming

"shit...., go right here"

"huh, wait, that's...."

"we don't have a choice, deal with it"

Jimmy and Elena then went into an Building, an Gentlemen's Club

Inspection
Jimmy and Elena began to approach the club entrance, it appears to be unguarded

"where are the bouncer"

"no idea, let just go inside"

both of them then enter the club

"........what the....."

then they found a lot of people in the club, who were partying as usual, strippers still doing their job while customers sat in seats watching them or drinking

"wait, should they already cleared out of this place right now ?"

"heh, looks like they were too much partying that they forgot to see the news, damn....."

"should we....."

"uuhh...., there should be an exit here somewhere....."

both of them then ventured the club when several American Soldiers enter the club

"bien, deja lo que estás haciendo en esta instancia (alright, stop what you're doing this instance)" said the American Sergeant

everyone in the attendance stop what their are doing, except for strippers who still doing their job

"eso las incluye a ustedes también, señoras (that includes you too, ladies)"

the Strippers then stop their dance

both Jimmy and Elena then began to hide

at that point, an man along with several of his bouncers approach the soldiers

"qué demonios es esto, que yo sepa, todavía teníamos permisos en esto ... (what in the hell is this, as far as i know we still had permits on this......)"

the man then stop talking once he saw the soldiers

".......wait, you guys weren't......"

''"so you speak english, then that makes things easier, who are you ?" said the Sergeant''

"i'm the Manager of this establishment, what's going on ?"

"then you realised what's going on right now ?"

"......yes, about the declaration of war"

"good, but right now i need you to cooperate, we intend to conduct an inspection on this place, those who were age 30 or below here will be included for the inspection, those who were more than age 30 will be excluded, that includes you who were in mid-40's, i presumed"

"wait a minute, we already done inspection by Municipal Government recently, i assured you that this place is...."

"sir, we not doing an health inspection, we doing something else, now please sir, if you would cooperate...."

"oh no, no, no, if you're from the government, i can understand, but if you were American, then i can't allowed you to do that, you had no legal basis to do inspection here"

"sir, please, doing this would end up....."

"if you wanna talk, talk to my lawyer, or....., wait a minute, is it just me, or is that all of you were youngsters ?"

"uhh...."

"por el amor de Dios (for fuck sake), you are nothing but a bunch of punks, sácalos de aquí (get them outta here)"

"Si jefe (yes, boss)"

the bouncer began to approach the soldiers

"ah shit....."

but just before the bouncers approach them, Luis and his men enter the club

"what's going on, Tom ?"

"Luis, i was wondering where you guys shows up, we had some kind of problem here, apparently the manager and his security thought that we were just an youngster punk and trying to kick us out"

"is that right"

Luis then approach the manager

"sir, we may be youngster, but we were part of the American Army, so if you cooperate with us......"

"i don't care who you are, just get outta my establishment, right now !"

at that point, one of the bouncer then looked at the female soldiers

"hey, muchachas (girls), the clothes y'all wearing right now is so damn hot"

".......huh ?"

"yeah, wanna get laid in bed, puta (slut), i can do it all day"

''"what the fuck you just say ?" Jennifer said''

one of the bouncer then approach Tiffany and instantly hold her shoulder

"now why i don't take this girl upstairs, i'm sure she will like it"

"cih"

Tiffany then grabbed his collar, went into an bar desk, smashing his head on the desk, and pointing up an Federal Arsenal M28 Pistol to his head

''"oh dear...." Emma said''

everyone fall silent

"listen, if you dare touch your hands on me, i will put an bullet in your skull, comprende (Understand)"

"...........yes"

"good"

Tiffany then let go of the bouncer

"look, we can do this in easy way, or we could do it in the hard way, your choice"

the manager clearly frightened

".........look, do you had any idea who owns this place ?"

''"let me guess, Sinaloa Cartel ?" Dylan said''

"yes"

"........."

Luis then closed his eye, and after a while, open his eye, his eye color changed to red

"..........Dios mío (My God)" the manager in disbelief

in Luis Vision, he see several people who were Green, Blue, and Red, he then spotted two people who were giving off an red colored

Luis then approach the said people, and pointing his Rifle to them

"pon tu mano en el aire, ahora mismo (put your hand in the air, right now)"

the two men were clearly baffled by this

"ahora mismo, o dispararé (right now, or i will shoot)"

the two men have no choice but to put their hands in the air

"ahora manos detrás de tu cabeza (now hands behind your head)"

the two men did exactly he told

".........Perez, Owens, check them"

"roger"

"copy"

both Rick and Lorenzo then approach the two men and search them, there they found an Mini-Uzi in their holster each

"sir, we found guns on them"

Luis then approach the two men

"Donde estan el resto de tus amigos ? (where are the rest of your friends ?)"

"go fuck yourself, Gringo"

".......doesn't matter, cuff them"

the two men then get cuffed

"do you know who you fucking with, Vato"

"The Sinaloa Cartel, formed in 1989, in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, with more than 10.000 members, you guys had pushing drugs in America for at least...., Four Decades, and your current leader would be Esteban Garza, who people known locally as "El carnicero", The Butcher, an Sicario of the Sinaloa Cartel who then rise to power to became the second-in-command of the boss, when the boss died, he takes the throne, and he's been responsible for hundred, if not thousands of murders. Rival Cartel Members, Cops, Politician, Journalist, and even Civillians were murdered by him or his order, hence his nickname, did what i say so far is correct ?"

"y-y-yeah, but why....."

"hey, you guys might be not fearing death, think again, we no longer the Americans you used to know, we are now the incarnation of Santa Muerte, no matter how your boss or his men does, they will meet their death soon enough, and so do you and your friend"

"the hell are you talking about ?"

"you and your friend are going to be sent across the border and to be immediately executed for being an member of the cartel, you guys after all, cause the Occupation of America"

"Que mierda (What The Fuck), we had nothing to do with the occupation, gringo, we not the one who invade America ?"

"yeah, but your goddamn drug smuggling is the reason of 2016 Election result, and so you guys are directly responsible for the Occupation, Tom, can you...."

"you got it, get these guys into the truck and sent them packing across the border, no tolerance for Cartel Sicario's"

as the Soldiers grabbed them, they were shouting loudly

"ESTO ES MIERDA, NO NOS PUEDES HACER ESTO, EYES ESTÁS ESCUCHANDO, EY ... (THIS IS BULLSHIT, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US, HEY ARE YOU LISTENING, HEY....)"

the two men then carried away outside the building

"o-o-okay, you had your point, i will cooperate, just please......"

"good enough"

"thanks, Luis, couldn't done that without ya"

"no problem"

as the situation unfolded, Jimmy and Elena is in shocked

''"they will execute them !, for being an member of cartel !" Elena said''

"well, looks like they finally done something that's long overdue, though i kinda feel bad for those guys" Jimmy said

"then again, what do he meant by 2016 Election"

"it appears they still hold grudges after 2016, seen by it's Anti-Russian Sentiment"

"what did the Russians do ?"

"accused for interfering with the election result, though i don't know if it's true or not, but looks like the New Americans take that heavily, and starting to hate Russians ever since"

"ah......, so that's the reason they didn't want to accept the UN Membership, because Russia also part of the United Nations ?"

"maybe, or maybe because they believe the UN was hijacked by Chinese and Russian, as the result many of the European Countries after the Bioweapon Attack decided to stripped themselves of their membership and reformed NATO With The Federation, and their powers began to significantly grew even went passed over UN"

"you think is very likely an World War will happen ?"

"hope not, thought i very much doubt that after i seen what's going on right now"

Luis then have an conversation with Tom

"by the way, what are you doing here ?"

"looking for two people that was escaping from us, we found their car already immobilized, and we track them here, we believe they were hiding here somewhere......"

"oh shit, they somehow tracked us here, what should we do ?"

"just let me think....., we going upstairs"

"on the hotel ?"

"c'mon"

".......damn"

both of them then went upstairs

"........i see, it's been confirmed ?"

"yes, it is"

"alright, me and my men will stay here, you guys go to that stairs, as far as we know it led to the hotel or some kind"

"i know what the place is, is for people who want to getting laid in one of the hotel room with the ladies here, you can get strippers upstairs and do what you want privately"

"are you serious ?"

"hey, i'm from Tijuana, and i certainly know that Zona Norte is known for being an Red Light District"

"well, if i may, señor (sir), we had guests upstairs who wished they didn't want to be disturbed for their "Activities", now if....."

"that Hotel is connected to this place, and so the hotel will be included, understand, let's go"

"yes, sir"

"wait, let's think this through....., señor (sir)"

Luis Squad then began to approach the stairs with the Manager chasing them

Hotel
Jimmy and Elena then arrived Upstairs at the Hotel, when they encountered several strippers girls

"oye, ¿quieres divertirte un poco conmigo? (hey, wanna have some fun with me ?)" one of the girls said

"gracias, pero no gracias (thanks, but no thanks)" Jimmy said

"how are we supposed to get out from this hotel"

"just let me think of something"

just then, an footstep was heard below

"shit...."

both of them then ran into an stairs

"where should we hide ?"

".......in that room !, quick"

both of them then decided to enter an room, Jimmy then closed the door

"woah, this room is pretty nice...."

the room is an Penthouse Suite, with an Bar Area, an Pole Stage, an Jacuzzi Tub, and an Bedroom.

then suddenly an footsteps was heard outside the room, of which both of them panicked

"this way...."

Jimmy and Elena then enter the bedroom, a while later, an Stripper, comes frantically into the room and locked the door

"(breathing) quienes eran esos chicos (who were those guys ?)" said the girl

"phew, don't worry, looks like it's just one of those strippers"

suddenly an knock was heard

"oye, te conozco ahí, abre la puerta! (hey, i know you in there, open the door !)" Jennifer said

"go away, now" said the stripper

"you speak english ?, then that should make things easier, you're positive of being "Afflicted", Miss, that's why we had to take you in"

"no, not a chance, go fuck youself, you puta"

"........well, you insisted"

using her leg, Jennifer breached the door, startling the stripper and surprise Jimmy and Elena who instantly hide in a corner

"kyaaa"

"(breathing) wow, why are you wearing something like that ?"

The Stripper, who was wearing an white short tied shirt and short plaid pleated skirt, clearly baffled by what Jennifer just said 

"uh, excuse me, but you too are same, wearing that Black Blazer and that Short Skirt, you know that"

"oh this, as far as i know this was used to fool it's enemies"

Jennifer then began to approach the stripper, of which the stripper also went backward

"so....., why are you suddenly approaching me ?"

"look, lady, you already been declared positive, so i need you to come with me....."

"what's with this "Afflicted" thing, it's like you guys trying to find an infectious disease or something......"

"oh it's not an disease, it's something else"

both of them reach the bedroom, and as the stripper went backward, she tripped and falled into the bed

"look, can you just tell me why i'm declared positive"

".........."

Jennifer then went into the bed and began to approach the stripper

".....what's your name ?"

"huh ?, uhhh...., my name is Tina"

"alright, Tina, i will show you the reason why"

Jennifer then suddenly kissed Tina in mouth

"!"

Elena, seeing the situation from the corner, had an expression of surprise, while Jimmy instantly cover her mouth

"mmmmhhh, mmmhhhh, mmmmhhhh"

Jennifer then finished kissing her

"haaah, the color not changed, maybe more....."

"no, wait...."

Jennifer then kissed Tina once again

at that point, Vincent comes right into the room and saw them

"what in the hell are you doing, Jennifer ?"

Jennifer then stopped kissing Tina as Vincent called her

"oh this !, i'm just trying to prove that girl that she is "Afflicted", but she didn't buy it, which is why i kissed her, there are ways to confirm that, such as Crying or getting sexually stimulated"

"like what you're doing right now ?"

"yeah, and she is really an "Afflicted", look"

Tina eye were changed color to Red

"(breathing) what the hell......"

"hey, give me that mirror"

"fine....."

Vincent then grabbed an mirror and giving it to Jennifer, then she shows her reflection

"what the....., my eyes were....."

"yes sir, she's right here, oh yeah, her name is Tina"

"thanks"

Luis then approach Tina

"Tina, we not here to hurt you, tell me, how old are you ?"

"............17"

"alright, where are your parents ?"

"uuuhhh......, i don't know, last i saw them when i was still in Bogota"

''"Bogota !, that's right on Colombia, which means....." Dylan said''

"but they said if i......"

"don't worry about the Cartels, let us dealt with them, and besides you one of us now, understand"

"..........you mean, i'm now an American ?"

"yes sir, c'mon, i will take you downstairs, there we will wait for transport toward the border, you're in ?"

"........yes"

Tina then hold Emma's hand, Emma then escort Tina out of the room

Jennifer then sense something with her sense

"sir, uuh....., we have some kind of situation here" said the young boy Soldier

''"what happen ?" Luis said''

Jimmy then looked at the Bedroom Door, the room is empty

"looks like we clear"

".........we clear, now"

Jimmy and Elena then went downstairs, and in an stroke of luck, managed to passed the inspecting Soldiers on each floor undetected

eventually they reach the ground floor, when they find many Soldiers inside the floor

"yes, c'mon, let's get outta here"

both of them then gets out from the building and ran

''"huh, what's going on ?" Elena said''

"........don't tell me" Jimmy said

both of them decided to look behind, then they spotted an Tank along with several American Soldiers approaching the blockade

"what the hell, that Tank....."

"why, what's wrong with the Tank ?"

"uhhh, that Tank, while it has some similarities with the M1 Abrams Tank, but something about that Tank Feels off about it"

"really....."

the M1 Titan Tank then began to approach the barricade

"........ saca ese tanque, ahora (........take out that tank, now)"

"(Radio)Sí, comandante (Yes, Commander)"

the T-90 Tank then fired at the M1 Titan Tank, it hit the front, but it didn't suffer no damage

"Oh, mierda....., TOMAR CUBIERTA (oh shit....., TAKE COVER)"

the M1 Titan Tank then fired it's main gun, it hit the T-90 Tank and then exploded

"holy shit....."

American Soldiers then engage fire with the Mexican Soldiers at the Barricade

Jimmy then punched the gas, and gets away from the barricade as possible

"oh christ....."

taking several turns, they see Violent Clashes between Mexican Army and Local Poilice and American Soldiers through the streets

"oh god......"

as the car went through the street, several cars frantically attempt to escape

"really, okay, c-c-can you help me out, please"

"hold off, are you injured ?"

"me neither, i'm guess......."

after much struggling, both of them managed to get out from the car

gunfire and screaming echoed

"........we need some place to hide for the night, it's too dangerous right now"

".......over there !"

Elena spotted an opened door of an small house

"well, it's better than nothing, let's go"

(........so far the Military are unable to push back the American Forces as they taking major cities on the border such as Tijuana, Mexicali, Juarez, and numerous others, forcing the military to fall back and setting up defense to prevent......)"

Jimmy then turn off the TV

"so what should we do ?"

"we sleep here, wait until things calmed down, you okay with that ?"

"yeah, it better than sleeping in the street"

"Okay, i'm going to sleep in the Sofa, also to keep guard on this place, you sleep on that bedroom"

"are you sure ?"

"very, don't worry about it"

".........okay"

"good"

as Elena went into the room, she stops and turn around

"by the way, i haven't had a chance to know your name"

"my name ?, it's Garcia, Jimmy Garcia"

"..........can i just called you Jimmy ?"

"that much is fine"

"okay, ........thank you for rescueing me back there, Jimmy, i appreciated it"

"yeah, have a good night, Miss Castillo"

"yes, good night"

Elena then closed the door

"..........alright, i'm have to stay awake to make sure no one comes here unnoticed"

Morning
''October 16, 2028. Morelos, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 09:21 AM''

Jimmy is sleeping on the couch, with the Pistol still on his hand, then an voice came out in his Earpiece

"Jimmy, wake up man, yo"

Jimmy then began to wake up

"oooohhhhh, Zack ?, where are you ?"

"outside, man, can you let me in ?"

"wait a minute, you're here in Tijuana, oh shit...."

Jimmy then frantically went into the door and open the door

"you supposed to be in Mexico City, how the hell......"

but as Jimmy opens the door, there's no one there

"huh ?"

suddenly a Sophisticated Drone fly by into the house

"woah....."

the drone display began to turn on, revealing it to be Zack

"hey, it's me, man, don't shoot"

"Zack ?, woah......"

Jimmy then immediately closed the door

"what in the hell is that ?"

"oh this, i made it myself, i originally using it for fun"

Just then Elena gets out from the room

"what is all of this racket, did someth....., woah"

Elena were too shocked by the Drone

"uuoh, mis disculpas por irrumpir así, señorita (my apologies for barging in like this, miss)"

"Zack, she can speak English"

"really ?"

"yeah, by the way, you know this guy ?"

"oh he, he's name is Zack Dalton, he's an friend of mine and an fellow Marine just like me, and an experts when it comes for technology"

"yeah, may i assume you're Elena Castillo ?"

"yes, that's right"

"phew, so looks like you guys managed to flee from those Cartel Sicario's, that's good"

"wait....., what's is that drone anyway ?"

"this...., meet my newest invention, the "Eagle Eye", this Drone was designed for Reconnaisance and connected to the satellite so if you guys were lost in direction, this drone should do the trick, and sorry about that whole disconnect thing, i had to configured the satellite which takes hours, sorry man"

"that's alright, still how did you know....."

"i retrace you steps from the beginning, wow you guys even forced to hide in strip club, that's......"

"forget about it, so how's the situation ?"

"well, it's bad, really bad, i mean entire TV Channels were reporting on the current situation, take a look at this"

the Drone display then changed to an map

"as you may know, last night America Federation declared war on Mexico, and in just few hours they managed to take cities in borders, Mexican Armed Forces were sent but failed to hold the cities, so right now they had no choice but to fall back and setting up defenses stretched from Ensenada to San Fernando in Tamaulipas"

"i see, by the way, Zack, did you see something off with the soldiers ?"

"the hell you mean ?"

"after Jimmy released me from the kidnapper hideout, the cartels men were suddenly find themselves fought with the Americans, and these guys easily taking out a whole lot of them, one of the girls same age as me even managed to twisted some muscled guys arm, broke his leg, and shoot him in the head" Elena said

"what ?"

"hey, i know this may sound unbelievable, but it's true, i saw it too myself"

"actually i too saw it myself, from social media and stuff i mean, and these guys completely take the Mexicans by surprise, none of them even expect their agility and strength, and those tactics...., they way different that ours did"

"yeah, it's like they want to do it close and personal......."

"and those Uniforms......, the hell they trying to do with wearing that......"

''"i think it's to fool the enemy, you know that girl say that once in that hotel, remember ?" Elena said''

''"hmm, now that i think about it......." Jimmy said''

"that would make sense, National Militaries like Mexico are getting used by Armed Soldiers, but still that doesn't mean......"

"hey, i hate to tell you man, but it appears that the New American Technology is way passed ours, we just happen to see some of their, and it's working perfectly"

"really, oh shit......., then that man is telling the truth......"

"what are you talking about ?"

"well....., i told you right about the job in Mexico City, the man hired me several days ago for Technical expertise, i mean, the pay is good"

"who is that man you talking about ?"

"he's an American, and he's happen to just established some sort of NGO in Puerto Rico, you know right, the US Government-in-Exile"

"yeah, i know"

"apparently the organization purpose was to "Save what Remain", that's it's motto, though i don't know the reason, but i think it has something to do with the Bioweapon Attack ?"

"huh ?"

"it's like thi....., oh shit......."

"what is it ?"

"uhhh, an unknown car are approaching the house you're in right now"

''"what ?, is it the Americans, or......" Elena Said''

".......hide, quick" Jimmy said

both Elena and Jimmy and the drone are hiding in the bedroom as an Black 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe stopped in front of the house, then four Armed Gunman gets out the car and enter the house

"¿Estás seguro de que están aquí? (you sure they are here ?)"

"estoy seguro, hombre, uno de los halcones los vio entrar a esta casa (i'm sure, man, one of the Falcons spotted them entering this house)"

"pero no hay nadie aquí, tal vez se hayan largado (but there's no one here, maybe they bugged out)"

"de cualquier manera, registra la casa y, si los encuentras, dispara al guardaespaldas, pero deja a la niña con vida, entiende, el jefe quiere a esa niña viva para que podamos recuperar el dinero del rescate de su padre.(either way, search the house, and if you find them, shoot the bodyguard, but leave the girl alive, understand, Boss want that girl alive so we can retrieve the ransom money from her father)"

Jimmy then brandished his Pistol

"wait, what are you......."

"get down, now, and cover your ears"

"........right"

Jimmy then prepared to fire as one of the armed men began to approach the bedroom

"eh, es eso ... (huh, is that......)"

Jimmy then got out from cover and shoot one of the armed men, others began to take cover"

"mierda, dispara a ese hijo de puta (shit, shoot that motherfucker)"

an gunfight ensures

"que alguien le dispare a ese hijo de puta (someone shoot that fucker)"

Jimmy then fired several shots, managed to kill one of the armed men

"toma esto, gilipollas (take this, asshole)"

the two of the gunmen then fired their MAC-10 Machine Pistol and firing it at the door

"......shit"

"Jimmy, use this"

the Drone then went in front of the wall, and displaying the wall in X-Ray

"woah, the drone can do that ?"

"yeah, now shoot"

"right"

Jimmy then fired his Glock 19 Pistol into the wall, killing an gunman while critically wounded other

"(breathing) you're alright, Miss Castillo ?"

"(Breathing) i'm fine......"

Jimmy then gets out from the room and approach the wounded man who attempt to grab his gun, Jimmy then tossed the gun away from him

"okay, who the hell are you ?"

"(breathing) ........Sinaloa Cartel, Puto"

"Sinaloa Cartel ?, no shit, why the cartel want her ?"

"(breathing) drug business is on near collapse, homes, because of those "New Americans" shit, we starting to lose money, so boss decided to kidnap her for 50 Million Dollar, cash"

"..........alright, who's your boss ?"

"you don't know, ese, Esteban Garza, also known as "El Carnicero", Puto, so you have no idea who you're fucking with heh"

"Garza......, oh shit" Zack said

"you know something ?"

"Garza is one vicious son of a bitch, has killed a lot of people during his time as an Sicario for the Sinaloa Cartel, and is now the drug lord of the cartel, he's an bad news, man"

"come to think of it, one of those soldiers at the strip club said something about "Garza" Thing"

"yeah, sooner or later we get the girl, homes, we will......., ahhhhhhh"

the man then die from his wound

"............ah shit"

"well, if i were you, i leave Mexico, fast"

"to where, this place is a fucking warzone here, how we are supposed to...."

"don't worry man, i will be your eyes in the sky, you know the reason why i called this drone "Eagle Eye", right ?"

"so will you help us ?"

"yep, if you need anything, called me on the earpiece, until then i gotta go, you know recon the place"

"thanks man, Semper Fi"

"Semper Fi, Brother"

the drone then leave to the door

''".......now what ?" Elena asked''

"now......., now we getting the hell outta here"

Long Walk
''October 16, 2028. Hidalgo, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 09:59 AM''

Jimmy and Elena is seen walking in a street

"geez....., can we just use that car back there ?"

"maybe, but then again their colleagues would be suspicious about why those guys i just killed didn't respond back, they would come right on their last known location, understand"

"(sighs) oh well....."

"Zack, how's the road ahead of us, bro"

"so far nothing to indicated that there's Cartels nor the Soldiers in area, although i see an group of individuals on the street ahead of you"

"really ?, you mean those guys in front of us"

"yeah, but....., you should be careful though, because......"

"because of what ?, that they were under cartels payroll"

"no, what i meant is......, shit, get behind something, an car approaching in"

"got it"

"ah c'mon, we have to hide again"

"quit whining and follow me"

both of them then hide in a building

an Black Chevrolet Tahoe then arrive and stop in the street

"buscar alrededor, tienen que estar aquí en alguna parte (search around, they gotta be here somewhere)"

Armed Men began to search around

"(whispering) shit, they must have found the bodies"

as they search around, the armed men spotted the people in front of them

"oye, ¿qué diablos esa gente aquí? (hey, the hell those people here ?)"

one of the armed men began to shouted at them

"lárgate de aquí, esto no te concierne (get the hell outta here, this doesn't concern you)"

after a while, the Armed Men began to baffled and realised something

"carajo, fuego, fuego (the fuck, fire, fire)"

the Armed Gunmans fired their weapon, but was overwhelmed by the charging people, the Armed Men didn't stand a chance and started to scream in pain

"(whispering) what the hell......"

"(whispering) oh my god....."

the people attacking them, had blood all over in their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears

"that is the reason, "Acute Psychotic Syndrome", American Officially designated it as "Snyder Syndrome" named after the American Scientist that researched it, the Syndrome was confirmed by an Russian PMC Team that were trapped in South Africa during the riots in Johannesburg, it was discovered first by Dr Viktor Luzhkov, an Russian Scientist that now part of an International Scientist Team led by Dr Noah Bracker in Switzerland, they had an partnership with the organization i was working for" Zack said on Radio

"(whispering) how the hell they became like that ?"

"according to the research, it was caused by the Flu Vaccine that was developed by China who supposed to protect it from the Bioweapon itself, but it caused their minds to became crazy and attack people who make loud noises"

"(whispering) wait, then does that mean that they were zo...."

"they not Zombies, they still alive, only their minds were complete mess, Bracker is trying to find the cure for the syndrome for few months now"

"(whispering) wait, then how about us......"

"don't worry, apparently those who were suffered from "Snyder Syndrome" in Mexico were small in comparison from South Africa, and the vaccine implementation were completely slow in this country, it only take 2 years to they finally start vaccination"

"(whispering) then that leaves me out, how about you Miss Castillo ?"

"(whispering) me ?, well....., my father didn't trust Vaccine in general, so i didn't get vaccinated"

"(whispering) really, how lucky of you"

"hey, even you did get vaccinated, it only compatible to those who were....., you know what, once you guys get outta there and find an safe place, i explain everything to you, but to make it short, that "Valkyur" Bioweapon is the one who got us into this mess"

"(whispering) alright, so what should we do with those guys ?"

"the best is to stay quiet and don't make a loud voice, it's best to avoid them"

"(whispering) alright, Miss Castillo, follow me, alright"

"(whispering) i follow"

both of them quietly walk and approach the back door, Jimmy then quietly open the door, once Elena enter, Jimmy quietly closed the door

"let's go"

both of them then quietly walk

''October 16, 2028. Av. Vía Rápida Pte, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 10:04 AM''

Carlos is waiting outside his car when he spotted an convoy of vehicles approach him

"finally......"

one of the car stop, and an beautiful latina woman wearing an black leather jacket and black jeans gets out from the car

"you got yourself in a whole lot of trouble, Carlos"

"shut up, Catalina, shit happen"

"i know, looks like we underestimated those New Americans, they even found and use the tunnels to get under the borders undetected"

"damn right, man, that's why business is dying"

an man then approach Catalina and Carlos

"Pedro, i heard about what happen with the submarines"

"yeah, those damned American Ships destroyed every subs i sent, i lost millions of dollars worth of heroin because of them"

"and not to mention every men i sent"

an Muscled Tattoed Man then approach them

"Manuel......"

"those fucking cabrón (Bastard) has apparently captured and execute them for being an member of cartels, and it's not just us, every Drug Cartels in Mexico has suffered the same fate as us"

"shit, those New Americans are real deal alright, unlike back then"

"yes, they adapting, so Carlos, did you find the girl ?"

"i sent couple of guys to the city, but so far no answer"

"(sighs) then we need to find her quick, boss is pretty pissed last i saw him"

"right....., follow my lead"

Carlos and others then enter their cars, and the convoy then move into Tijuana, with smokes appearing across the city

Shelter
''October 16, 2028. El Progreso, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 11:27 AM''

"how long do we have to walk ?, i'm starving" Elena said

''"me either, shit......" Jimmy said''

"you guys are still there ?"

"we still here, so can you tell us what do you know, right now"

"oh right, well, take a look at the monitor"

the drone the arrived toward them and displayed it's monitor of an document, detailing about "Valkyur", as Jimmy and Elena read it, they were stunned

"wait a minute, what......"

"i first don't believe it myself, but then again after what happen today, i starting to believe it"

"so those soldiers we encountered on, they were superhumans !"

"yeah, and besides did you see something off aside of their ability"

".........wait, there were no African-Americans within their ranks"

"Huh ?, what does that mean ?"

"it means that the Bioweapon working, but it also had an unintended consequence, those who were "Compatible" with it were "revived" and became those you guys saw"

"oh my god......"

"and to baffled things up, only young people were revived, adults and old people were still ends up dying by the bioweapon, hence the reason why many of the soldiers were young"

"..........."

"look, i know this may sound out of the ordinary, but it's the truth, only several ethnic groups such as Caucasians can be "Compatible" and "Revive", no one, not even Bracker nor the Federation had no idea how it happen that way"

"the Federation too had no idea ?"

"yeah, though we uncovered some interesting detail, That Bioweapon, it wasn't created by the Chinese"

"what are you talking about ?"

"the chief scientist, that asshole buy that bioweapon from an completely unknown man and passed it off as his own creation, and thus led to this"

"what !, who is it ?"

"no idea, the guy is an complete ghost, no one know who he is, no one"

"........fuck"

".....look, right now both of you need some kind of shelter right now, Federation Drones are been deployed right now"

"and how are we suppose....."

"you guys are in El Progreso, correct ?"

"yeah....."

"you never visit my house before, haven't you, Jimmy ?"

"wait, your house is in this area ?"

"yep, just ahead of you there's a house, that's my place, go to the gate, then i explain to you how to open it"

"is it alright, to stay at your home ?, Mr Dalton" Elena said

"hey, don't worry, getting trapped in an warzone is the last thing i had right now, and besides i found myself in an fancy hotel Downtown"

"christ, we stuck in this city while you gets to relaxed in an luxurious hotel with your laptop alone"

"sorry man....."

"ah doesn't matter, what happen is what happen, the house this way ?"

"yeah, follow me"

the "Eagle Eye" Drone then led Jimmy and Elena to an house, surrounded by thick walls

"holy shit, Zack, did you live in a house, or a fucking Fort Knox"

"what can i say, Tijuana is known to prone of crime, i can at least build that"

"Point taken"

then they found the gate

"uhh, Zack, this has some sort of password buttons on it"

"press this number on the screen"

the display shows the password, 7-2-4-1

"okay"

Jimmy then pressed the password, the gate then opened

"it open !"

"good, get inside, now"

both of them then enter through the gate and closed it, then they enter the house

the house interior is completely plain, as any other houses, but noticed that there was an room written "don't enter"

"........my guees that would be your workshop ?"

"yep, it's also the place i made the drone myself, uhh can you lock the door for me, something tells me i don't need that room anymore"

"got it, bro"

Jimmy then closed the workshop door

"so is there a food in this place, i'm hungry" Elena said

"don't worry, there's a plenty of food in the fridge, take whatever your need" Zack said

"thanks, Zack, really appreciated what you're doing" Jimmy said

"no worries, make youself at home"

............

............

............

12:05 PM

Jimmy and Elena has already finished eating

"finally, my stomach is full" Jimmy said

"yeah, for the first time in my life, i was completely grateful for this food, it may not luxurious, but hey, it at least filled me up" Elena said

"glad you're like it" Zack said

"so you powered the drone with an solar power ?"

"yeah, it's the only way to fly, that along with an battery that was used to get the drone out of the house when sun rose"

"ah......"

''"so what are we do now ?" Elena asked''

"well, that is the big question, how the hell are we supposed to get out this city alive, without encountering those Soldiers, the Cartel, and possibly some Psychos who want to kill us off" Jimmy said

"for now you guys just stay in this place for a night, we still don't know if......, hold on"

"what is it ?"

"two cars approaching, it looks like they were being chased"

"chased ?"

"yeah...., looks like they stopping at the intersection, at the front of the house"

"!"

then they immediately went into the window and peeked it, there an White 2005 Dodge Caravan was stopped by an Federation Army Federal Arsenal HTV-1

"Ocupantes, salgan con las manos en alto (Occupants, come out with your hands up)" one of the soldiers said with their gun pointing at the car

the car occupants began to came out from the car

".........you, check the back of the car, we cover"

"yes, sir"

one of the soldiers then went and open the back seat car door, then he see an 7 year old girl sitting on the seat

"hey...., don't worry kid, we going to get you somewhere real nice"

the soldier then retrieved the little girl and carry her, her mother raised an objection

"oye, no puedes simplemente llevarte a mi hija (hey, you can't just take my daughter away)"

"lo siento, señora, pero ha sido declarada positiva, tenemos que acogerla (i'm sorry, Ma'am, but she's been declared positive, we have to take her in)"

suddenly the mother grabbed her daughter from the soldier

"no, esta es mi hija, nunca dejaré que la tengas (no, this is my daughter, i will never let you have her)"

the father appears to reject the idea

"Espera, quieres mantener este "monstruo", solo dáselo a ellos. (wait, you want to keep this "monster", just give her to them)"

"¡Monstruo !, ella no es un Monstruo, es nuestra pequeña bebé, ¿no entiendes? (Monster !, she's not a Monster, she's our little baby, don't you understand)"

"señora, escúchenos una sola vez ..... (ma'am, listen to us just once.....)"

as they went into an arguing, the father went back into the car, and grabbed and pointed his Smith & Wesson Model 629 toward the mother

"Dásela a ellas, ahora (give her to them, now)"

American Soldiers then pointing their rifles to the husband

"señor, hacer esto solo terminaría empeorando, simplemente baje el arma ... (sir, doing this would only end up getting worse, just put the gun down....)" one of the soldiers said trying to calmed him down

"¿Estás loco? Baja el arma (are you outta of your mind, put the gun down)"

"de ninguna manera, no mientras sigas sosteniendo ese "monstruo", déjalo ir (no way, not with you still holding down that "monster", let go)"

"ella no es un monstruo (she's not a monster)"

As the situation getting dire by minutes, the husband cocking his gun

"en ese caso, MUERE ! (in that case, DIE !)"

The husband shot the woman in the head, he then collapsed

"Shit, FIRE"

The Soldiers then gunned down the man, he then instantly

the little girl then began to cry and begging the woman to wake up

"Oh christ, get her outta here, now"

One of the Soldier franticaly grabbed the little girl from the woman corpse and joined others in the car

"Alright, let's go back to base"

The HTV-1 then left

Both Jimmy and Elena is in sound of disbelief

"What the hell......"

Elena soon began to collapse

"Miss...."

''"why, why he had to do that....." Elena said while covering her mouth''

"Well, it's because the whole "Afflicted" thing, when the Bio Attack occuered, it began to spill toward Canada and Northern Mexico. And there you have it, when you had something like "Monster" here, they will instantly fear and hate it, that's why something like that happen"

".........oh god, how the hell we end up in this mess......"

Nightfall
22:01 PM

Elena is looking at the window, looking at the two corpses on the street when Jimmy approach her

"Miss Castillo......, are you alright ?"

"huh ?, oh yes, i'm fine....., it's just......, what should we do about those two......"

"............."

Jimmy then suddenly leave

"where are you going ?"

Jimmy then went out into the house, carrying an blanket, and cover the corpses while praying on it

"............"

Jimmy then quickly went back to house and lock the gate

"............"

Jimmy then again approach Elena

"it may not much, but it's the only thing i can do, Miss"

"it's fine, i understand......, thank you, Jimmy"

"you're welcome"

at that moment, Elena spotted an Cross necklace on him

"......that Cross, are you religious or something ?"

"oh this, this actually my lucky charm"

"lucky......, charm ?"

"yeah......, it's from my grandfather, who was also an Marine in WWII in Pacific, now it's been passed on to every generation in my family who became an Marine, and to me, from my Uncle......"

"really ?"

"yep, as a matter of fact, this Cross probably the only memento i had of the Old Days, before the Invasion....."

".......memento ?"

"exactly"

Jimmy face then had an bittersweet expression

".........uuhh, sorry, i didn't realised you just remember an bad memories because of me......"

"it's okay, Miss, it's okay"

"............"

"......listen, we going to leave tommorow morning, so get to sleep, okay"

"........okay"

Elena then began to walk to the bedroom

"........and, Jimmy"

"yes ?"

"may i assume....., that you no longer have a family ?"

".........you're certainly correct, Miss"

".........i see, ........good night, Jimmy"

"yeah, good night"

Elena then enter and closed the door

"............"

Jimmy then laying on a sofa, then looked at his Cross Necklace

".........it's was an good time, a really good time......."

..............

''October 16, 2028. Zona Rio, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 22:05 PM''

an Convoy of Cars and Pickup Trucks are parked in an street

''"so where do we start looking, Carlos ?" Catalina said''

"to be honest with you, i don't know, and since the Falcons i sent didn't sent a word, we basically don't know where they are" Carlos said

"damn......"

''"Carlos, is it a good idea to be here, i mean....." Pedro said''

"look, no one's here, not even the Americans, and even if they here, we just gonna blast them to hell for fucking with us"

"i don't know, man, i heard those Americans are way serious than us, back then......"

"hey look man, it's nothing but an crazy man tale, nothing to be afraid of"

"Carlos, don't underestimated the enemy, we had absolute no knowledge about these New Americans, the loss of my men sent to America is a clear proof of this, besides i had some suspicions about them,"

"not you too, Manuel......"

as the cartel lieutenants are talking, unbeknownst to them, American Soldiers began to aimed down their sights on them from the Parking Lot above

"Captain Mendoza, thank for helping us out" Captain Nancy Leblanc said

"no problem, we just happen to be nearby" Luis said

".......shit, there's a lot of Sicarios in there, probably 20 to 30 Hostiles" Dylan said

"they even brand their shit on their car, "C.D.S", these guys has some kind of deathwish of something" Lorenzo said

"this is their home turf, for years they had unchecked grip of power on this country, this country is virtually under control of the cartel" Emma said

"until now" Luis said

''"damn right, .........should we do it now ?" Captain Leblanc said''

"right, Hawking !"

"yes, sir. right here"

Jennifer carry an Federal Arsenal AT-1 RPG

"we going to blow the shit on them with this"

"okay, on my signal, fire the rocket into one of the trucks, got it"

"got it"

Jennifer then aimed the RPG

"okay, on my mark, 3, 2, 1, now !"

as Carlos look up, he spotted something

"hijo de puta (Motherfucker), RPG !"

RPG Rocket then fired and into one of the vehicles, it exploded

"FIRE !"

American Soldiers began firing down on their position, many of Cartel Sicarios were killed

"fuck me......"

"Hopkins, take Owens and Hawking with you and go downstairs, Esposito, lay down some Sniper fire on them"

"roger"

"on it, sir"

the Sicarios continued to taking fire from the Americans

"mierda, jefe, alguien viene rápido (shit, boss, someone's coming in fast)"

Tiffany then in quick speed then went into several sicarios, one sicario trying to aim, but Tiffany break his leg, and shot him in the head, while other sicario trying to shot, but was grabbed and had his neck punched, Tiffany then throw him into an car, she then take cover behind an wall

Rick fired his Rifle when suddenly an Sicario charging to him with an knife

"morir, pendejo (Die, Motherfucker)"

"get off"

Rick then banged his head onto the sicario head and subsequently freed, he then shot the sicario to his shoulder, grabbed his hand, making him fall down, and shot him in the head

an Sicario fired his AKS-74u Carbine into Jennifer, but she slide down, fire her Rifle into the Sicario and collapsed, she then gets up and fire her rifle into other Sicarios, at one point an Sicario with an Lupara Shotgun fire into Jennifer from behind, but the Bullet were protected by her Blazer, then revealed to be the Nano-Fabric Armor

"que diablos....... (what in the hell.......)"

before he can react, Jennifer killed him in the head, he then collapsed

"..........looks like it's very useful after all, only downside is, it's quite painful....."

Jennifer then continued to fire at the sicarios

soon the sicarios were outnumbered by the Americans

"shit......, let's get the hell outta here"

"that would be an pretty good idea, homes"

"c'mon, get into the car"

the Cartel Lieutenants and what's left of the sicarios then frantically enter their car and leave

".........sir, some of those guys managed to get away" Rick said

"forget about them, now they will know that dealing with us will be such an bad idea" Luis said

''"but that got me thinking, why they returned to Tijuana, they should just leave like the rest ?" Emma said''

"probably their valuable stuff is still in Tijuana, and these guys were sent here to retrieved it, you know Garza was an cold blooded killer in his time as an Sicario, friends or foe, they definitely risked their ass back here just to not get shot by him"

"hmmm......"

"sir, permission to speak" Tiffany said

"go ahead" Luis said

"do we know who we were after ?"

"oh, almost forgot, Overlord has some information about the individual and the name and is now on your watch"

".........."

Tiffany then looked at her watch, there an AR HUD is on display, Tiffany then read the file

"...........i see"

"well, let's hope the one we after isn't already bugged out of town right now, especially without them knowing......"

Grab and Run
''October 17, 2028. El Progreso, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 08:38 AM''

Jimmy and Elena are walking down the street when the drone approach them

''"how's the road ahead of us. Zack ?" Jimmy said''

"so far i haven't encoutered the Cartels, the Soldiers, nor people who were suffered of the Syndrome, we clear for now" Zack said in the drone monitor

''"any idea how to get out from the city ?" Elena said''

"well, it's like this"

"yeah, .........i was born without an father, i don't know who is he, what's his name, or his face, only My Mother knows, and she never told me who he was, not an single bit"

"why she didn't tell you about your father ?"

"i don't know, it's still an mystery to me, .........unlike yours, Miss, my Early childhood is filled with suffering, you know, suffering from Poverty, and still My Mother work had each day just to feed both of us......., so i don't mind about Poverty or some shit, as long as i had an Mother who alway taking care of me, i don't care, it's was all going well, until......"

"until what ?"

"she..... died"

"!"

"back then, before the time of Sinaloa Cartel, there was another cartel, named "Tijuana Cartel" back then, they were most powerful in this city, and has intense rivalry with the Sinaloa Cartel"

"now that i think about it, there was an organization with that name before....."

"yeah, but Late 2000s saw the most violent turf war in the city, and Sinaloa Cartel win the war, Tijuana Cartel were soon lost most of it's power as the result of the turf war, and Sinaloa Cartel is now take over Tijuana, many people lost their live because they were caught in their crossfire, my mother was one of them......"

"Jimmy......, i'm....., i don't know what to say......."

"it's okay, after my mother's death, i'm became an orphan, no one to take care for me, until that man shows up"

"who is it ?"

"it was my mother's brother, an Marine, he heard about what happen to my mother and came to Tijuana from San Diego as fast as he could, and decided to adopt me, as his son, and that's how i became an American Citizen and live in US with my Uncle, but now he's gone, and once again, i have nobody, again"

"............."

".........you okay, miss"

"oh !, uuhhh, yeah, it's just......."

"just what ?"

"............did My Papa mention about my Mama ?"

"yes, Miss, he said it numerous times on occasion, he also told me that he can't afford to lost you after he lost his wife"

"i see....., so Papa still hasn't forget Mama......."

"............"

"............back then, i had an perfect life, an big house, an loveable parents, an unreplaceable happiness......."

"............."

"i back then even had an dream, i want to be an pianist"

"an pianist ?"

"yes, first time i decided to be a pianist is when my mother play the piano in the living room, you know that piano ?"

"ah, yes, Miss"

"right, so my mother play an classical song made by Claude Debussy "Clair De Lune", and the first time i heard it, i'm in love with it, and it became my favourite song when i was little"

"wow, most kids these days would listen to Pop and Hip Hop Music, but you, an Classical ?"

"yeah, and besides my mother play it perfectly, since she too was an Pianist too, My Mother played that beautiful melody sounds so perfect......, it just...... very lovely, that's when i told my parents to start taking Piano Lesson, in hope i became an Pianist just like my mother"

"i see......, then what happen......"

"..........one day, my parents and me are on our way to the Rosarita, for vacation, for a while on the road, nothing happen, until......., the accident happen......."

".........and that would be the accident your father mention back in the day ?"

"yeah, the truck that hit us had an brake failure, and the driver attempt to avoid cars as much as he can, though......"

"..........."

"the truck driver died on the scene, as for Papa and me, we were just lucky we survived, but Mama......., she didn't make it"

"............"

"after what happen, i stop playing the Piano........, because it will only remind me on Mama, and as years after that, my relationship with Papa start downhill once i enter Adolescent, and there you have it......"

".............."

"in other words, both of us lost something meaningful to us when we were kids, and i understand too the pain, the pain of losing an mother"

"................."

''"eh....., guys, what are you guys talking about ?" Zack said on the drone''

"oh !, uuhh, nothing, ahh, looks like the car is fueled and ready to go"

"..........Zack, is it possible that both of us were "Afflicted as well ?"

Jimmy were surprise by Elena question

"that is the tricky part, there's a chance you're "Afflicted", but there's also chance that you're "Immune", so far only the Federation had means to identify which one is it"

Elena began to approach an Wounded Jimmy

"hey, hey, hey, are you alright ?"

"d-d-don't worry, i-i-i-it's just a scratch"

Awakening
Instituto México de Baja California, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

Bell Rings out across the school, signify the end of class, Students began to exit each classroom after the bell

Elena is walking down the hall when several of her Female friends approach her

"Elena, ¿quieres pasar el rato en un centro comercial el fin de semana? (Elena, wanna hang out in a mall on weekend ?)" said one of Elena's Friend

"sí, las tiendas acaban de agregar ropa nueva como promoción, ¿quieres venir? (yeah, the stores just added a new clothes as a promo, wanna come ?)" said one of Elena's Friend

"¡De verdad! Está bien entonces, ya es hora de comprar ropa nueva. (really !, okay then, it's about time i buy new clothes about now)" Elena said

"bien, entonces ¿qué tal una selfie? (alright, then how about a selfie ?)"

"suena bien, hagámoslo (sounds good, let's do it)"

Elena gets out her Samsung S20 Smartphone and selfie along with her friends

"bien, adiós, Elena, no te olvides de lo que estamos hablando (alright, bye, Elena, don't forget about what we talking about)"

"si, nos vemos (yeah, see ya)"

Elena Friends began to leave

"Será mejor que me vaya a casa también, de lo contrario me perdí el último episodio de mi telenovela favorita (i better get home too, otherwise i missed the latest episode of my favourite Telenovela)"

but as Elena walked, she spotted something on the ground

"Eh....."

She spotted an Red Line on the floor

"que ....., que yo sepa, ¿no hay tal línea roja en la escuela? (what the....., as far as i know, there's no such red line in school ?)"

out of curiosity, Elena began to follow the Red Line, the line then went left into an dark corridor

"............"

gaining Courage, Elena ventured the corridor

"............"

as she walked, the corridor even became darker, with only bright red line paving the way

"............"

eventually after a long time walking, she encountered an man, wearing an glasses, an black suit, and is holding an Book

''".........Elena Castillo ?" said the man, talking with an British Accent''

"eh, ... ¿sí? (huh, ......yes ?)" Elena said in confusion

the Man is writing something on the book he holding

"........alright, Follow Me, Miss Castillo"

"huh, you can speak English ?"

"yes, now if you please follow me"

"o-o-okay"

Elena began to follow the man, then they arrived at an hallway, it's architectures design were classic and filled with pictures of the past

"what the......, since when something like this exist in the school ?"

"i can assure you that we no longer at your school, Miss, or especially, not in Mexico, dear lord, that country is an complete mess over human incapability to cope, especially when those so-called "cartels" acting like they own the country"

"huh, you mean drug cartels ?"

"exactly, thousands people lost their lives in this neverending war called "Mexican Drug War", and it's not just that, there are wars carried out by people who had an Religious, Ideology, Race, and Nationalism agenda. people up North, fighting each other who is right, who is wrong, who's ideology one is best, Capitalism, or Socialism, none of that didn't work, and they were too forgetting that they all were, an Human, side by side, and that, is the Current Species Greatest Failure, despite being born as same, they fighting each other, over trivial things"

"uuhhh......., are you a god or something like that, cause it's sounds like you're pretty pissed about all of us, i'm admit, all that's has happen in these pictures...., it did happen, but if all nations we work together......"

"and that proves to be an failure as well, take a look at United Nations, it's original purpose was to keep order of the world, yet the organization is being taking over by some ambitious nations who want to advanced their own agenda, and then there's many organizations that would rather kill other just because they were different religion, they all had chances, but they all misused it"

"but......."

".......Miss, about your question about if i an god or not, i'm not an god, i'm just an Overseer"

"Overseer......"

"yes, as an metaphor you can think it i belong to an company, and my "supervisor" is not very pleased with what these current species repeated mistakes......."

"huh ?"

"my job is to oversee the transition, like what i'm doing now"

"transition ?, what does that mean ?"

"well, it's best if see this for yourself"

both of them then arrived at an door, then The Overseer opens the door

"come right in, Miss"

"eh...., ah sure"

Elena then enter the room, there she spotted an girl, she's black dressed, and is chained tight on her legs and hands

"eh....."

Elena then began quietly approach the girl

"disculpe, ¿estás bien? (excuse me, are you alright ?)"

"...........!"

the Chained Girl then realised Elena's presence, and began to looked at her

".........!"

Elena began to take a step back before she's bumped into The Overseer, she then look at him and demand an explanation

"what the....., t-t-that's, t-t-that's......"

"you are correct, Miss, that is you"

Elena began to look again toward the girl, who is same as Elena's

"wait....., i-i-is this some kind of an candid camera or something, cause if it is, you're seriously......."

"this is not an joke, Miss, that is you"

".......why her Eyes were red ?"

"because it's what they are......, ........do you remember about my metaphor"

"ah !, ......yes ?, so....."

"imagine this, if your product such as cars is having some sort of "Problematic" Issue on it's component, what would you do ?"

"........i would replaced it with an ne......, wait a second, is this the Transition you just talking about ?"

"looks like you're finally realised it, so did you remember ?"

"huh....., what are you....., eh....."

Elena's Memory began to came back a little, and she realised something

"t-t-this......, this whole "Afflicted" Thing, that was you ?"

"you could say that, yes"

"what the fuck, i mean, this whole mess, y'all start it, just because you saw Humans as "Incapable", that is seriously fuck up, you can't......"

"like i said, they had their chances over and over, and they failed each one of them, and so, My "Supervisor" decided to take Drastic Measure....."

"Drastic Measure !, oh god, you and your fucking "Supervisor" are officially lost your goddamn mind, stop this thing at once"

"it's already too late, the proccess has began, there's nothing we can do to stop it"

"you can't be serious"

"...........well, what's done is done, now....."

The Overseer retrieving several papers from his jacket

"take this, and show all of these to her"

"huh !, why ?"

"just do it, you see"

".........fine"

Elena then approach the chained girl

"who is this guy anyway ?"

Elena then looked at one of the paper, it's an biographic file containing an Photo

Name : Esteban Garza

Nickname : El Carnicero (The Butcher)

Affliation : Sinaloa Cartel

Rank : Capos (Drug Lord)

"what's this, some drug lord wanted list named "Esteban Garza" ?"

just then, the Chained Girl hear the Name, and suddenly went Feral

"Kyaah...."

"now, Miss, show her another one"

she then looked at the paper

Name : Carlos Braga

"L-L-Like this ?"

Elena shows the photo to the girl, causing her to even more feral

"why she so pissed about this guy, that guy, ........to be honest with, that's is kinda creepy, looking at myself chained, and went feral at same time"

"i'm supposed that's very understandable, now if you please...."

"okay, now who is this guy ?, .......wait, did i know this man before ?"

Elena then shows the photo to the girl, she then looked at it, and suddenly became quiet all of sudden

"huh ?, that's a first ?"

Elena then looked at the paper

Name : Jimmy Garcia

Affliation : United States Marine Corps (Formerly), Victor Castillo

Rank : Gunnery Sergeant (USMC) (Formerly), Bodyguard

"huh, papa hired him as an bodyguard ?, but as far as i know the bodyguard is....."

suddenly Elena's memory came back, this time toward her last moment before she die

"(gasps)"

Elena then dropped the paper, she then look at the chained girl, she had an sad face on her

".........d-d-does that mean......, i'm die ?"

"yes, Miss, that is correct"

Elena then soon collapsed

".......now i know why she pissed about the first two people on the photo, they......"

Elena then looking at Carlos and Garza photo, she then take a look at Garza file

"this......, this is Garza ?"

"you're certainly correct, Miss"

Elena's hand began to shaken, she then ripped of the paper she was holding

".......t-t-this....., this is all my fault"

Elena began to cry

"(sobs) i shouldn't......, i shouldn't agreed to go to the nightclub with my friends, if i didn't go and stayed back home, if i just listen what my papa said, then maybe, just maybe, Jimmy still....."

".......i understand why you're sad, Miss, after all, you fell in love with him"

"(sobs) he's......, he's the only first man, that i fell in love with, ......oh god, how can i be so stupid......"

"..........well"

The Overseer then approached Elena and hand her over an pen and an paper

"(sobs) w-w-what is this ?"

"this....., this is an letter of approval, in order to complete the transition, you need to sign it, Miss"

"(sobs) Transition of what ?"

"to become what you're called, "Afflicted", Miss"

"..........(sobs) but why i didn't become like this sooner ?"

"most of the time, many experienced like this after they became "Afflicted", a year ago, i was completely busy with an sheer numbers of people passed through here, and so does this year......, but in Mexico Case, people were unknowninly know this and continue their daily lives, just like you, though i expect in the future, something like this wouldn't happen again"

"(sobs) but what if i refuse ?"

"you can't, it's an mandatory to sign these, it's your fate, after all"

"............(sobs) may i ask you an question"

"go ahead, Miss"

"(sobs) ........is Jimmy, already Passed on ?"

"about that, that is out of my expertise, it's been done by other section, but...., i'm sure he will be waiting for you, Miss"

"............"

"so, Miss....., will you sign it ?"

"..........."

Elena then takes the pen and sign the paper

"good, then you're set"

"............."

"oh, almost forgot, you will not remember this conversation, nor what have we talking about, it's our Policy, after all, oh well"

The Overseer then clapped his hand, and the chain on the girl were released

"............."

Elena then looked at the girl who procced to approach Elena

"now, Miss Castillo, enjoyed your second life....."

Elena Vision then began to bathed in bright white

"that's because i'm now an monster, you guys were human, but i'm......"

"..........wait, you mean, that rumor really true !"

"yeah, so you understand why i decided to do this, i'm going to do what you all can't do and already long overdue, so don't you dare stop me......."

"..........."

The Guardsmen is waiting for his partner to come down

"Vamos, ¿por qué tardó tanto? (c'mon, what took her so long ?)"

after a moment, the Guardswoman come down from upstairs and meet up with her partner

"ahí estás, ¿por qué tardaste tanto, tuviste algún tipo de problema o algo? (there you are, what took you so long, did you have some sort of problem or something ?)"

"lo siento (sorry)"

"Entonces, ¿todo bien ahí arriba, nada sospechoso? (so, everything good up there, nothing suspicious ?)"

"nada, parece que nadie es dueño del camión de la policía, pero, de nuevo, pueden mentir al respecto (nothing, it looks like no one own the Police Truck, but then again, they can lie about it)"

"(sighs) supongo que no hay nada que podamos hacer aquí, volvamos al camión (i suppose there's nothing we can do here, let's go back to the truck)"

the National Guards then returned to their truck and drove off

as the truck drive through street, the Guardswomen silently looking at the window

(Flashback)

the Guardswomen retrieved back her helmet from the floor

".........i will not tell my colleagues about what you're trying to do, you have my word"

"i know, you're telling the truth"

the Guardwomen then approach the door, then suddenly stopped

".........by the way, this love you mention, does he have a name ?"

"........."

after a brief silence, Elena then said this

"........Jimmy, it's Jimmy"

"Jimmy !, how convenient, you know, i named my son Jimmy too"

"really !"

"yeah......., just make sure to kill lot of those bastard....."

"i will......., i absolutely will......."

(Present)

the Guardswomen expression became sad

".........¿Por qué estás triste de repente? (why are you sad all of sudden ?)"

"......nada ... solo recuerda un triste recuerdo (nothing......, just remember a sad memory)"

the National Guard Truck then went away through the street

back at the hotel, in Elena's Room, she's holding on the Cross Necklace on her hand

"................."

"......i miss you, Jimmy"

The Mansion
''October 21, 2028. Primer Cuadro, Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. 06:30 AM''

in an hotel Room, Elena is having an nightmare again

"(breathing) (sobs)..........mama, don't leave me behind......, please....."

Smpartphone alarm goes off in Elena's Room, and Elena quickly wakes up

"(breathing) that damned dream again......"

...................

...................

...................

07:21 AM

Elena went down the stairs with her bags and approach the receptionist

"me gustaría hacer el check-out, por favor (i would like to check-out, please)"

Elena gives out the Room key to the Receptionist

"gracias por hospedarse en este hotel, señorita (thank you for staying in this hotel, Miss)"

again, Elena didn't say a word and gets out from the hotel

".......que chica tan rara (.......what a weird girl)"

Elena then open the truck door, get in, and drove off back to the street

as she's driving to the City Outskirt, she remember something

(Flashback)

''October 19, 2028. Castillo Residence, San Jacinto, Chapultepec, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 01:27 AM''

Elena is talking with Zack on Video Call in her bedroom, while sitting at her bed

"Garza Mansion is extremely huge, swimming pool, garage for luxury cars, typical for an narco asshole like him, and it was surrounded by a wall and equipped with barbed wire, so you can't just go in there by climbing up the wall and quietly attacking them out of blue"

"okay...., and the Guards ?"

"lot of them, i count at least more than 50 Hostiles in there, armed with AK's, AR-15's, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, even a couple of MG's, all to guarding the party at the Mansion, that also includes an Enforcer Unit inside the Mansion that act as Garza's Security Detail, not to mention the Cartel Reinforcement they bringing should someone attack the place, in other words, it's an goddamn fortress"

"so....., a frontal assault would be the only option"

"yeah...., normally i would calling this as an suicide mission, but...., since you are "Afflicted", i'm guessing that would be no problem ?"

"no...., not an problem, i can handle it......"

"okay......, hey, may i ask you a question ?"

"what is it ?"

"did you......, fall in love with Jimmy ?"

"..........how did you know ?"

"well,i know someone falling in love when i see one, and to be truth though, Jimmy is quite popular in his high school days by girls"

"really !"

" yeah, (laughs) he caught sight of every single girls in the high school, so i figured you be falling in love with him too"

"oh...."

"but don't worry though, Jimmy always turn them down, hasn't meet his mutual love he said as his reason, he said once to me that once he found it, he would give his Cross Necklace toward his loved one, yep, the one you're wearing right now"

"!"

Elena then looked at the Cross Necklace

"..........."

"........that proves that Jimmy love you back, only you......"

"............"

(Present)

as the flashback ends, she's almost arrived at the Mansion, Elena then spotted something

she then drove the truck into an empty building, and stopped the car, she then gets out the car and take a look at the Mansion just straight ahead of her

".............."

The Mansion Gate is Heavily Guarded, with Two Armed Men Guarding the Gate Entrance

"............."

Elena then use her ability, and her eye turned red

in her vision, there are plenty red-colored glows in The Mansion, and also spotted several golden glowed persons inside the Mansion

"............(sighs) there's so much things i don't know abou this one....."

as Elena baffled by this Newfound Sense, one of the Golden Glowed Person gets out from the room, revealed to be Garza, meeting with an guard, there Elena can hear their conversation

"!"'

"¿Está todo bien? (is everything good ?)" Garza said

"hasta ahora bien, jefe (so far good, boss)"

"bien, lo último que necesito es una pandilla rival que intente atacar esta mansión durante la fiesta, esta fiesta tiene que ser perfecta, entiendo (good, last thing i need is some rival gang trying to attack this mansion during the party, this party has to be perfect, understand)"

"Si jefe (yes boss)"

"Esteban, estoy listo para ti en el dormitorio (Esteban, i'm ready for you in the bedroom)" an Woman calling Garza

"por supuesto, Mercedes, mi amor, ya voy (Of Course, Mercedes, My Love, I'm Coming)"

Garza then went back into the Mansion

"Garza......., your time will soon end, you motherfucking drug pusher......."

Elena then lean on an wall

"........it's best to wait until the party started, then i can crashed the party"

.............

.............

.............

''October 21, 2028. FOB Tijuana (Tijuana International Airport), Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. 19:09 PM''

''"what do you mean Castillo already gone ?" General Karen D.Walshbury said''

''"well....., we searched her house in Chapultepec, we found signs that she was in her house, but no sign of her, we also found these....." Luis said''

Luis hand over an bag, he then takes them out, revealed to be Elena's Wet and Bloodied Clothes

"this is her clothes ?"

"yes, Ma'am, and we search through her social page, and she wear the same kind of clothes such as this one in her latest post, no doubt Elena changed clothes into her School Uniform, because we couldn't find it anywhere"

"wait....., this latest post...., where it was taken ?"

"at an Nightclub, Ma'am"

"at age 17 !, she must be in her rebellious phase"

"yeah, until she found out that she's "Afflicted", and there's something else, we traced her from her house, and it led us into The Tijuana Municipal Police HQ, she breached the Evidence Room in there, steal Heavy Arsenal of Weaponry stored as Evidence, and drove of with an Tijuana Police Pickup Truck" Dylan said

"why did she do such thing ?"

"beats me, but it sounds like she's prepared herself for an war with someone, most likely Sinaloa Cartel, we believe she's heading behind Mexican Army Lines toward Sinaloa to track down and enact revenge on the Cartel....."

"oh christ....."

just then, an Soldier enter the room and knock the door, carrying an file

"Ma'am, excuse me for a moment"

"what is it ?"

The Soldier then approach Walshbury, and after some talk, the Soldier gives out the File to Walshbury

"okay, you may excuse yourself, Private"

"Yes, Ma'am"

the Soldier then leave the room

Walshbury then read the file

"..........."

she then closed the file

"(sighs) looks like Castillo really want to start an war with the Cartel"

"what is it, Ma'am ?"

"..........NSA just intercepted an phone call just two days ago, the Call came through from Mexico City, The Judicial Police HQ, and guess where it end up"

"..........at Castillo's Residence ?"

"you are correct, apparently her Father, Victor Castillo, an Exec of an Major Bank, was murdered"

"what !"

"most likely the Sinaloa Cartel are the one who killed him, and they let go the prime suspect for "Lack of Evidence" from the custody, and Elena did not take it well"

"May i, Ma'am"

Dylan then grabbed the file from Walshbury and read it

".........woah, there's a lot of inaudible script in this Audio Transcript"

"that proves she did not take her father's death well, she's clearly suffering for Psychological Trauma, she undoubtely will kill everyone stand in her way, and that's when even bad news comes right in"

"(sighs) what is it, Ma'am ?"

"apparantely Garza, aka "El Carnicero", decided to host an party in his Mansion just outskirts of Culiacan, many important people, most likely under Garza Payroll, is attending the party, he also calling an meeting with his Top Lieutenants as well, to discuss the current issues facing the Cartel, Elena Castillo will undoubtely attack the Mansion right now"

"oh my god"

"it would be an goddamn slaughter in there"

"so what should we do, ma'am ?"

"fortunately today is the day we launched an offensive operation toward Mexican Lines, but we don't know if they managed to arrived at Sinaloa, that would mean i have to contact JSOC to extract Castillo out of there, but it will take some time"

"until then....., there's nothing we can do about it ?"

"unfortunately, yes......"

"..........."

Party
''October 21, 2028. Garza Mansion, Outskirts of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. 17:58 PM''

Luxury Cars and Limousines began to enter through The Mansion Gate and parked it into the designated parking lot, there people began to enter the Huge Mansion

many important people then began to gather inside the Mansion, The Mansion have Two Floor, an large swimming pool on the back, and the scale is large enough as any other Mansions, on front of the Mansion, there was an Round Fountain, and a large garage beside the mansion

inside the Mansion, the Interior is very luxurious, with two stairs toward second floor, and white colored walls

outside, several tables are lined up filled with foods and drinks such as alcohols, people gathered on the table to retrieved it

as people gathered outside, Garza began to meet up with his guests

"Sr. González, ¿cómo van las cosas estos días? (Mr Gonzalez, how's things these days ?)"

"se puede esperar tan bien, excepto por la guerra en curso, por supuesto, estoy extremadamente preocupado de que pueda afectar las próximas elecciones (as good can be expected, except for the ongoing war of course, i'm extremely worried that it might affect the Upcoming Election)"

"Yo también, sabes que hice una gran "contribución" a tu campaña, así que la guerra es lo que más me preocupa. (so do i, you know i made a large "contribution" to your campaign, so the war is concerned me the most)"

"sí, esperemos que nuestro ejército haya logrado hacer retroceder a las fuerzas Americanos del país. (yes, let's hope our military managed to push back the American Forces from the country)"

" esperemos, ahora disculpe señor, tengo que dar un discurso como anfitrión de la fiesta. oh, otra cosa disfrutó la fiesta con tu amada esposa aquí mismo (let's wait, now excuse me sir, I have to give a speech as host of the party. oh, another thing enjoyed the party with your lovely wife right here)"

"por su puesto que lo hare (of course i will)"

Garza then went over the Mic and began his speech

"uhh ...., discúlpeme un segundo, tengo algo que decir (uhh...., excuse me for a second, i have something to say)"

people began to look at Garza

"Primero que nada ....., gracias por ser uno de los invitados que organizo personalmente, normalmente sería como cualquier otra fiesta, pero la guerra cambió eso, así que la razón por la que reuní a damas y caballeros aquí, que incluyen al Sr. Gonzales y su amada esposa, candidata a las elecciones gubernamentales, para expresar nuestro apoyo, a nuestro gobierno y a nuestras fuerzas armadas, para defender nuestro hogar ....... (first of all....., thank you for being an guests that i personally hosted, normally it would be much like any other party, but the war changed that, so the reason i gathered ladies and gentlemen here, which include Mister Gonzales and his beloved wife, a candidate for gubernational election, to voiced our support, for our government, and our military, to defend our home.......)"

as Garza is giving an speech, outside the mansion, Elena is looking at the Mansion, by using her sense

"no wonder, you bribed those fuckers after all......."

as Elena is looking out the Mansion, she sensed something

"?"

behind her, an hispanic man, in his 30s, began to approach the mansion, his glow is orange, indicated an suspicious person, she then spotted an light blue glow object inside his jacket, an pistol

"!"

immediately, Elena catched up to him, and grabbed him shoulder

"el infierno..... (the hell.....)"

the man trying to go away, but his shoulder were tightly hold by Elena

".........who the hell are you, and why did you....."

"let go of me......"

Elena then search his jacket, and grabbed something, it was an Heckler & Koch USP Pistol 

"........huh ?"

Elena then find something else, an badge of "Federal Ministerial Police", named Angelo Rodriguez

".......you're cop !"

"yes...."

Rodriguez then retrieved back the badge and the gun from Elena

"what's a kid doing here, you're not supposed......"

Rodriguez then spotted the Police Truck

"wait....., that's an Tijuana Municipal Police Logo, how did......"

he then looked at Elena, wearing an School Uniform, an contrary of an police officer

".......you're not part of Tijuana Municipal Police, so how did you ?"

"............"

"........let me see your ID, now !"

"........."

Elena then pulls out her ID, Rodriguez then take a look at it

"........Elena Castillo...., you're 17, what's your purpose doing here, and how did you get an police truck ?"

"i'm the one who should be asking question to you, Agent Angelo Rodriguez, why did you had an pistol with you, and it looks like you trying to approach the mansion....."

"............"

"........if you wanna take revenge to Garza, it would be an complete suicide for you, his guard are gonna gunned your down before you can get to him"

".........then how about you ?, you are the same, i'm bet you had some unfinished business with him too....."

"yeah, .......but who i'm kidding, you are just a human, but me......, i'm an monster....."

"what are you talking about ?"

"........did you see my eyes, is there something different of it ?"

"..........yeah, ........hang on a second, you too......."

"so you know ?"

"yes, i had some cases in which people on Northern Region committed act of vigilantism against Drug Cartels, i even meet some of them, but they always escape, either run across the border, or getting pick up by American Special Forces"

"i see......."

suddenly Elena Smartphone rings out

"who is that ?"

Elena then picked up the phone

"Zack, how's things ?"

"i'm hacking into Local Emergency Services, it won't be long, but should be enough for you to make sure the National Guard or Cops didn't joined the party by surprise"

"okay, thanks Zack, appreciated it"

"yeah....., so....., do you need any help along the way ?"

"don't bother, i can do this myself, but thanks for the offer"

"........okay, then this will be our last time we have an conversation, is that alright with you ?"

"yeah......"

"okay....., Good luck, Elena....., and Good Bye....."

Zack then hung up

".........."

Elena then looked at Rodriguez

"........tell me the reason why you want to go after Garza"

".........."

after a brief moment, Rodriguez tells his reason

".........we barely close on him, so close, then out of nowhere, the court dismissed the evidence we piled up against him......"

"........he corrupted the judge, is he ?"

"........most likely, and soon after he was acquitted, he order his men to kill me and my subordinates, the agents who gaves their lives to trying to bring Garza down, and failed......., and i lost my family too....., because of him......., i was in coma for 3 months, and when i wake up, i have nobody anymore, i lost everything......"

"and that's the reason you do this......"

"yes...., so i can put an bullet to that fucker head......., and i know it would be a suicide mission, ....... but it's fine by me....."

"............."

"what about you, why you decided to take revenge ?"

"...........well, before all of this happen, i'm just an ordinary rich teenager girl, an rebellious, so to say, my late mother used to be an pianist, and my father was an executive of an major bank in Mexico, and the head of the Tijuana Branch, .......one day my papa decided to hired an man to keep an eye of me...., .....and like any other girls, i'm end up escaping from the house just for hanging out with my friends in an nightclub....."

"that i can relate....., then what happen ?"

".......the bodyguard found me, and told me that, i'm going back home, and getting lengthy lecture for underage drinking, but before we even get into the car, The Sinaloa Cartel kidnapped me for Ransom...."

"!"

"and to make matters worse, it happen right in the Invasion by the American Soldiers, you know, back then, there were many stories of the cartels cruelty, that they didn't fear death itself, because the Santa Muerte, they worshipped her like some sort of god......"

"okay......"

"but when i saw the American Soldiers fought the Sicarios for the first time....., they are able to killed them at ease, hell, i even saw one of the girls take down an muscled guy and broke his limbs like it was nothing....."

"......make sense..., the Americans were too......"

"an Monster, yes...., the Cartels prepared of attack by Cops and Soldiers, but they cannot handled them......., not one single bit......, they were the manifestation of Santa Muerte herself"

".......and you were escaping from the cartel ?"

"yes, with my bodyguard, Jimmy Garcia, for 3 days, he protected and rescue me from danger, i mean, i felt some sort of affection toward him back when we first me, initally i disregard them, but......"

"you're realised you fell in love with him ?"

"exactly......, he done his duty as my bodyguard to the end, until he and me die....."

"and that's when you found out that you were"

"yeah....., i'm one of them......."

".........what about your father ?"

"..........he die too....., soon as he give the cartel the ransom money, they killed him, and they were untouchable by law, even in the midst of war itself......."

"............"

"and here i am....., standing here....., on that fucking drug lord and his men........, thye were partying like it's was okay by pushing drugs and kill people however they like......, i'm going to show them all that they were wrong......"

"..........."

meanwhile, inside the Mansion, Garza is about to finished his speech

"....... y así, saludemos, por nuestra gran nación (.......and so, let's salute, for our great nation)"

everyone salute

"ahora ...., disfruta de la fiesta mientras dure .... (now...., enjoy the party while it last....)"

an Mariachi Band then makes their way through the stage, and playing the music

Garza went through the crowd and meet up with his lieutenants

''"Boss....." Carlos said''

"Carlos....., shall we, ladies and gentlemen"

''"yes, boss....." Catalina said''

Garza and his Lieutenants then make their way to the room

outside the mansion, Elena look at the Mansion

"..........so let me do the honor, Agent Rodriguez, i'm going to be the Santa Muerte myself, and bring death to the cartel, you just sit back and watch the show......"

".............okay, i back off......, i'm going to sit back and see what you're doing, just do you job......."

Rodriguez then leave, but turns back toward Elena

"......oh yeah...., one more thing......, make Garza suffer......"

".......i will"

Santa Muerte
Garza and his Top Lieutenants began to sat on their respective chairs in an round table

".......okay, let's commenced this meeting, now as you may know, business is beginning to take a hit, especially by those Americans cabrón (Bastard), our top money earning is disappearing fast, .....so Manuel...., no words for your men just yet ?"

"so far nothing, Boss, no contact from the North, same can be said in Europe too......, looks like the Authorities cracking down us very hard" Manuel said

".....i see....., Pedro, how about you ?"

"not good, Boss, those hijos de puta (motherfuckers) sank every single narco-sub i sent there, their ships is something else, Boss, i heard one of their ships sunked an Chinese Ship without taking damaged, those Ships are high-tech, way more that China and Russia combine, Boss" Pedro said

"fuck...., Catalina ?"

"......nothing....., all the drugs we smuggled out to America are end up getting intercepted and destroyed....., and our tunnels were being use by those pendejos (Assholes) to carry out the Invasion itself, and it's not just us......"

''"yeah, other drug cartels smuggling tunnels too were discovered and used by them at the start of Invasion, i even saw that first hand...." Carlos said''

"shit........, then what are you waiting for, kill some of them...."

"we try...., but these guys were way outta our hand, they were moving there and there, and we didn't even see them coming......."

Garza then stand up

"I DON'T CARE, KILL ONE OF THOSE SOLDIERS, OR CIVILLIANS, WE NEED TO SEND THEM A MESSAGE IF THEY MESS WITH THE SINALOA CARTEL......"

"Boss..., i already told you, we try the best we could...."

"........"

"and besides, we got the ransom money, that should keep us aloft for a couple of months, until then, we can think something out of it....."

"..........."

Garza then sit back to his chair

".........okay, you're right, now's not the time to get angry about it......, so......, got any......, Suggestion ?, anyone ?"

as the meeting goes on, in the Mansion Gate, two armed men are guarding the gate

"hey ....., ¿tienes un cigarrillo? (hey ....., got a cigarette?)"

"¿eh ?, claro .... (huh ?, sure....)"

one of the men then gets out an cigarette and give him, the other retrieve it, and attempt to ignite the cigarette with his lighter

outside the gate, the Chevrolet Cheyenne Police Pickup Truck then move and stopped at the Mansion Gate, it's front light then on

"!"

the Armed Men then spotted the truck

"que..... (what the.....)"

"es que ....., un camión de la policía? (it's that....., a Police Truck ?)"

inside the truck, Elena is in the driving seat, already wearing the Police Bulletproof Vest and Holster and belt

"............."

Elena then looked at her Cross Necklace for a while

".........i'm sorry, Jimmy"

Elena then pulls down the car stick, punched the gas, and The Truck drove off in high speed

".........oye, oye, oye (.........hey, hey, hey)"

the Truck began to come closer to the gate

"alejarse de..... (get away from.....)"

but before they can react, the truck rammed through the gate, it then rammed the two men which was killed simultaniously, the truck then stopped

other guards hear about the commotion, and began to approach the front

"............"

the truck then move again, this time rammed an armed men trying to shoot, he narrowly escape death by jumping, thus led him to be stuck in the truck hood

the truck then went full speed, before it suddenly stopped, throw the man from the truck hood into the stairs, he hit the stairs in head, he die instantly

the truck then went reversed, rammed another armed men, and went through the wall, killing the man

".............."

Armed Men then approached the truck

Elena then gets out from the truck, open the truck back door, and grabbed the M60E4 Machine Gun and carried it with her

"¡Chingada madre!........ (Motherfucker !..........)"

Elena then open fire the MG toward the Sicarios, killing several of them

inside the Mansion, Garza and his Lieutenants, along with the Party Guests, hear the shots

"the fuck....."

Garza and his Lieutenants then look at the window to see what's going on

there, an gunfight ensures, Elena continuoslly fired her Machine Gun toward the Sicarios

one of the men fired his pistol toward Elena, but was killed off, he then splashed into the fountain water

as the situation unfolded, Carlos spotted Elena

"i-i-impossible, t-t-that can't be......"

"Carlos, what are you talking about ?"

"it's her....., the girl, the one we kidnapped for money and killed off....."

"what !, i thought you take care of that ?"

"i did, Boss, i'm swear, i'm even the one who killed her"

"he's right, boss, we all saw it....."

".......fuck me......"

just then, an man frantically open the door

"Jefe ....., estamos bajo ataque .... (boss....., we are under attack....)"

"Lo sé, cuéntales a todos lo que está pasando, ¡los necesito aquí ahora! (i know, tell everyone what's going on, i need them here now !)"

"Si jefe ...... (yes, Boss.....)"

"all of you, do something about that bitch right now, especially you Carlos......"

"y-y-yes, Boss"

"shit, i need to go to Mercedes......"

Garza then frantically left the room

"how the fuck is she still alive ?"

"i don't fucking know, all matter is that we need to kill this bitch now....."

the Lieutenants began to get out from the room

outside, the Sicarios began to lose numbers, due to the Elena persistent Fire, and began to fall back to the Mansion

"entra a la mansión, rápido (get inside the Mansion, quickly)"

the Sicarios then quickly enter and closed the door, Carlos and others approach them

"¿Qué carajo crees que estás haciendo? (the fuck you think you're doing ?)"

"tiene una maldita ametralladora, no hay nada que podamos hacer, jefe ... (she's got a fucking machine gun on her, there's nothing we can do, boss.....)"

suddenly hail of fire went through the mansion windows, Elena fired her Machine Gun until the Bullet runs out

"(breathing).........."

she then tossed her now empty M60E4 to the ground

"............HEY !, CARLOS !, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE......, ANSWER ME"

"!"

Carlos hesitant at first, but decided to answer her

"have you lost your fucking mind, Puta (Bitch), you're supposed to be dead"

"and here i am, alive and well......"

"so why don't you ran ?, why instead doing this bullshit ?"

"because i had an unfinished business with you and your boss, GARZA !, I KNOW YOU IN THERE TOO...."

"........"

Carlos then approached the door while carrying his pistol

"what the fuck are you doing, Carlos ?"

"she's alone, the only thing she had is an fucking Machine Gun, and she's already ran outta ammo, i'm going to kill her, this time for good"

"oh shit, man....."

Carlos then gets out from the Mansion and pointed his gun at Elena

"you got some balls doing an attack here all by youself, to The Sinaloa Cartel ?, you must be outta your fucking mind, Puta (Bitch)"

"hahaha, yes, i'm already losing my fucking mind, attacking the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico on it's home turf"

"so you're already know, but why you still do this, huh ?"

Carlos then spotted an Sicario, hiding and looking at Elena, Carlos decided to distract Elena while the Sicario attacked her from behind

"look, i already said this once, but this just business, nothing else"

"Oh, it's that the kind of mentality you and the other cartels got, "just business" ?"

"yeah......"

Elena then went quiet for a moment, then she grinned, and began to laughed

"hahahahahaha......"

"what so funny ?"

"haha....., i'm finds this funny, cause it seems like your hold this mentality for 22 years, right, those years, a lot of people die by your hand, either by drugs, or by killing, you all a one sick fuck if i ever saw one......."

"that just way things they are......."

".........what do you know about Santa Muerte ?"

".........."

Carlos were surprise by Elena Question

"...........protection for drug smuggler, us......"

"yeah......, but do you know another meaning of it ?"

".......yes, as a matter of fact...... i do"

the Sicario silently went behind Elena's back

"........Death"

as the Sicario brandished his pistol, Elena swiftly behind his back in quick move

"!"

Elena is now behind the Sicario, she then grabbed him, using him as hostage

"yeah......., tell me, what do you know about "Monster" ?"

"you mean that rumor ?, as far as i know it's nothing but an bunch of....."

Elena suddenly break the Sicario Leg, which crippled him

"AHHHHHHHH........."

"What ?, do you think a teenager like me can do this......"

Elena break the sicario other leg, which led him to collapsed

".......and this"

Elena then grabbed him up, and banging his head into the wall over and over, Carlos is in shock over looking at the scene

Elena then let go of the sicario, badly wounded, and barely alive

"..........."

Elena Brown-Colored Eye turned red after she closed her eyes for a moment

"t-t-that....."

"think about it, why i'm still alive ?, why i'm still here ?, it's because i'm already an monster......., way outta your league...., you may be prepared to face off Cops and Soldiers in this country, hell, you can just bribed them to your heart content, but they all still human, as for me, i'm not......."

Carlos, clearly terrified by this, began to step back

"w-w-who, w-w-who the hell are you......."

"me ?, ..........you could think that i am the "Santa Muerte" herself, and now, all of you, including your boss, will die today....."

".............Dios mío (..........my god)"

The Breach
"............"

a brief moment of silence

"............"

Carlos, realised what's going on, decided to hurriely get back to the Mansion

Elena too, decided to get back to the Truck

Carlos quickly enter the Mansion and closed the Mansion Door

"Carlos, why you're suddenly......"

Carlos, clearly terrified, then tell others

".......shit...., this is way out of our hands"

"the hell you're talking about, homes ?"

".......Barricade the door...."

"huh ?"

"BARRICADE THE GODDAMN DOOR, NOW !"

"........."

several of the Sicarios then do exactly as Carlos ordered

meanwhile, outside, Elena went back to the Police Truck and retrieved the Weapons in the back

"............"

inside the Mansion, the Door already been barricaded, and Armed Men pointing their guns on the barricaded door

"Carlos !, what the fuck are you doing ?"

Garza then angrily approached Carlos

"she just an girl, and you could'nt kill this bitch......"

"boss....., those rumors....., they true, boss..."

"it's nothing but an crazy man tale, for fuck sakes, there's no such thing as "Monster"......"

"Boss......, she's a real deal, and she's content to killing us off......"

''"what are you talking about, Carlos ?" Pedro said''

"her eyes....., she had same red-colored eyes as the Americans had"

"!"

outside, Elena carefully approach the door, using her ability, she saw dozens of people in the mansion entrance

".........gotta use this, then"

Elena then grabbed something from an pocket, it was an block of C-4 Satchel Charge

"Cartels do have a helluva ways of obtaining something......."

she then plant the charge on the door, configured the timer, and quickly take cover

inside, Carlos and Garza had an heated argument

"........i already told you, boss, there's something wrong with the Americans, think, why Manuel's Men up North hasn't called back at us yet ?"

''"he's right, Boss....." Manuel said''

"Manuel....., stay off from this....., and you, do something about that bitch right now !"

"but......."

suddenly the door exploded, killing several men near it

"what the......."

moment later, Elena comes in, and kill several Sicarios with her HK416 Carbine Rifle

"shit......"

Garza and other Lieutenants began to retreat, as Sicarios open fire on her

"using explosive !, on my house....., someone kill this Puta (Bitch) right now !"

gunfight ensures

several Sicarios fired at Elena from above the stairs, but she killed them, one of them even fall down the stairs

she then pushed through, killing several Sicarios along the way

just then, an Sicario attempt to restrain her up, another trying to hit her with the Rifle Butt, but she kicked the Sicario, and hit the one who restrained her with her head, the Sicario trying to use his pistol, but she break his leg, and was shot in the head with her rifle, she then point and shoot several of them before one of them collapsed to the window, to the outside

"kyaaa....."

the Guests were clearly horrified, and began fleeing

Elena then went through the fleeing crowd as she spotted someone and intercepted him

"¿quién eres ?, ¿qué haces esto? (who are you ?, what are you do this ?)"

"........Eduardo Gonzales ?"

"¿s-s-sí? (y-y-yes ?)"

"........ no deberías aceptar el soborno de Garza (........you shouldn't take the bribe from Garza)"

Elena then shot him multiple times with her rifle, he then collapsed into the pool

''"Eduardo !, NO !" his Wife screaming hysterically''

Elena then approached the Wife, an Young Woman, in her 30s, and pointed her Rifle on her

"le dices a todos que quien acepte un soborno de los cárteles, se enfrentará a mi ira, entiéndelo, si no, te perseguiré, ¿está claro? (you tell everyone that whoever take a bribe from Cartels, they will face my wrath, understand, if not, i will hunt your down, are we clear ?)"

"s-s-si....... (y-y-yes.......)" the Wife said in terrified voice

"bien, ahora lárgate de aquí (good, now get the hell outta here)"

the Wife then do as Elena said, and frantically fleeing

".........."

she then gets up, and then approach the wounded Sicarios lying on the floor, and shot them in the head each

"............."

she looks around her surrounding, there, she spotted Manuel, wielding his Mossberg 500 Cruiser Shotgun

".........i have to say, it's very surprising how an young girl like you are capable of doing something like this"

"........i saw you back then, you're with Carlos"

"yes, and judging by your eye color you have right now, Carlos did tell the truth, and i never expect the rumors about "Monster" were true"

"you mean about the Vigilantes thing ?"

"exactly, .......now, Elena, was it ?"

".........yes"

"alright, Elena, i only ask you an one question, one question only, .........are you....., ready to accept the demon within you ?"

".............."

afte a while, she then say this

"..........i am"

".......i see....., then let us began"

Manuel then pointed his Shotgun and began firing at Elena, she then quickly take cover

as Manuel repeatedly fired at her, Elena then ran at full speed from her cover

Manuel shooting her as she move, but thanks to her Superhuman Agility, she avoids Manuel Shotgun fires

Elena then return fire toward Manuel as she ran, the two exchanged fire toward each other, window glass were hit and broken as Elena ran through it, Manuel surroundings are also taking damages from Elena fire

"o-o-okay"

Mercedes then hurriely went out the room

"........why did you....."

"i had my reason......."

Undercover
Catalina then walked into the bed where Elena is sitting

"........shit, you're just charged right in, killed many of those cartels fucks, and kill all of the Sinaloa Cartel Top Lieutenants, you are obviously done a lot better job than we all did"

"huh ?, "we" ?, .......then you're......"

"yep, Maria Velasquez, i'm an NOC for the Federal Ministerial Police"

"Federal Ministerial Police......., could it be...., did you know a certain agent named Angelo Rodriguez ?"

"Angelo !, he's still alive ?"

"yeah, alive and well, he just happen on the front of the Mansion, just sitting back watching"

"really, ........hahaha, lucky bastard"

"......i'm guessing Agent Rodriguez the one who put you undercover ?"

"yes, got the assignment for undercover work in Sinaloa Cartel by the name "Catalina" 5 years ago, it took me lot of risks and dangers to finally gained trust of the Cartel and became one of it's Lieutenants in the process"

"5 years......, you were lucky, if they found out that you're......"

"yep, but all that hard work went into drain when Garza bribed a judge to dismiss the evidence i secretly piled up, he still don't know i was the one who brought up the evidence, since i framed another lieutenant that he's the UC and was killed, honestly, that was the close call"

"i see, Agent Rodriguez did mention that before......., you know, he was comatose for 3 months and almost got himself killed on an suicide mission for revenge"

"really, can't blamed him, he's very close to his Agents and his family, no wonder he want revenge, i just wish there's something i can do to stop Garza from killing them.........., but i'm assume you stopped him"

"yeah......"

".........follow me"

Maria led Elena out of the room, then downstairs, and then into an door, Maria then unlock it

"this door will led you downstairs, he only got couple of guards left, his best enforcers, and about his reinforcement, don't worry i told them a lie about thing already been cleared out, they will not come to the Mansion for a while, still be careful, he will not go down without a fight"

"got it......"

Maria then began to walked away, but not before she stop

"by the way, why you trust me, knowing you, you will put an bullet on me for sure"

"well....., it's all thanks to this ability, thanks to it, i can figured out that if you lie or not, so far i haven't see a lie into you"

"make sense, so that Bioweapon is really dangerous......., it can creating something like you"

"yeah, and i hate it very much......."

"that i can relate....., and Elena"

"yes....."

".......sorry i couldn't save your bodyguard......"

".........just go, don't you worry about that"

"............."

Maria then left

Agent Rodriguez rise from his seat as Maria approach him

".........wow, you look like shit....."

"you too, Maria, i thought you're done for after what happen"

"same goes to you, by the way, you know that girl, Elena Castillo ?"

"yeah, stopped me from my suicide mission to kill Garza, saying she's going to do it herself and told me to just sit back and watch the show, i'm gotta say, she really put one hell of a show"

"exactly, all of Garza Lieutenants and his men were killed solely by her, looks like those crazy man tale were true after all......"

"damn right, and all of this began when they killed her bodyguard who she's having love with"

"Elena is in love with her bodyguard !"

"yeah"

"that would make sense, if i were her, i would be very pissed and done exactly like she did"

"........well, look at this, we been working for 5 years just to put down Garza, and that young girl is rampaging in his mansion and throw it into chaos in just minutes, she's absolutely done better job that we all did in the past"

"yeah......."

just then, afar, National Guard and Culiacan Municipal Police Vehicles began to approach the mansion

Elena then check her Taurus Pistol

"i'm gonna show you, that attacking me, and The Sinaloa Cartel, would be you biggest mistakes you're ever made"

"..............."

"(breathing)........"

Garza then approach her and point his gun to her head

"........hehehe"

"what's so funny ?"

"......you're invincible, you said ?"

"yeah....., i survive many assasination and gunshots, that's why"

"........then how about this"

in the front car, Lorenzo is driving the car

"..........so i heard the Offensive is an success" Lorenzo said

"yeah, 36th has already taking Chihuahua, while 83rd has taken Monterrey, the Mexicans began to fall back and setting up another defense line" Luis said

"and they extracted many "Afflicted" from the area we just captured back across the border, i'm gonna say, this new doctrine really is revolutionized modern warfare" Dylan said

''"so what going to happen next ?" Emma said''

"yeah....."

Tiffany then looked at Elena, who spotted her Cross Necklace

''on October 15, 2028. America Federation declared war on United Mexican States for "Afflicted" Discrimination that happen in Northern Mexico, hours after that, Federation Army gained foothold and captured border cities in Mexico''

the war, commonly known as 'Second Mexican-American War" will go on for 6 weeks until American President Sarah F.Kellar offering an Peace condition to the Mexican President Diego Serrano on November 10, the condition was that the Northern Mexican Region will became part of The Federation, a day later, The Mexican Government accept the offer, having lost huge amount of Military Personnels and equipments in it's Armed Forces due to relentless attack by the Federation Army

''on November 12, 2028. America Federation and United Mexican States announced an cease of hostility between two nation after the "Treaty of Houston" was signed between American President Kellar and her Mexican Counterpart Serrano, thus led to the "Division of Mexico" in which the Northern Mexico are under control of the Federation, while the United Mexican States can keep the Southern Mexico, an DMZ was formed that separates the North and South Mexico.''

The "Hall Doctrine" proved to be an tremendous success, with the Mexican Army were caught off guard by the New Tactics the Federation Army during Combat, despite being armed with Russians and Chinese Military Equipment, prompting the SCO Members in it's recent summit few months later, declared America Federation and it's allies as an "Emerging Threat"

during the war, Mexican Drug Cartels such as Tijuana, Juarez, Gulf, Los Zetas, Jalisco New Generation, and Sinaloa Cartel began to lose power as the result of intensive crackdown by the Federation Army, as much as over 10 Trillion Dollars worth of drug contrabands were destroyed, and after revelation that "Afflicted" cannot be addicted anymore, resulting in price crash of Heroin, Cocaine, and others, making it worthless

''the Sinaloa Cartel, once known as most powerful drug cartel in Mexico, began to collapse following the aftermath of "fiesta sangrienta", the Bloody Party, on October 21. resulting in death of Esteban Garza, aka 'El Carnicero", his Top Lieutenants, and large number of Cartel Sicarios, and Eduardo Gonzales, a Sinaloa Gubernational Election Candidate suspected of taking bribes from the cartel''

the perpetrator of the attack is unknown, but being described as 17-year old girl, and have an red-colored eye, from there on, many people called her "Ángel de la muerte", the Angel of Death, to this day nobody know who she is, and the motive behind the incident

the Cartels is still in South Mexico, but no longer reach the same level back where it was before the invasion.

the "Mexican Drug War" is over after 22 years since it began

"that i can relate"

"........so i heard about what happen in Mexico, i have to say, your doctrine is very successful"

"yeah....., but i'm supposed that's not the reason you called me here in London ?"

"exactly, i noticed you thinking something lack of your doctrine, correct ?"

"........you were right, yes, during the early days of the invasion, the Mexican Forces are dugging in deep, their defense line is very thick, and it took us couple of days to flatten them up"

"hmm......."

"while the doctrine is an success, i feel like the doctrine were lack of something......., the enemy defensive tactics is the problem........."

".......which is why i called you here, i have an idea for it"

"really ?"

"yes, i already talked about this to Queen Charlotte, and she agreed to proposed my idea that i recently formalised to you"

"hmm......, tell me about it"

"yeah, why you suddenly......., wait a minute......"

"now you're start piece together what i mean......"
