At the end of the meeting with her boss, she asked for a complete report on Emiliano Romero, she had to know his weaknesses, his virtues, his personal tastes; she imagined a very easy job.
- Here you have Miss Maria De La Cruz - said Rosa - the information you asked for about the boy, the rest, said the boss, is for you to use your charms and get it yourself.- Ok Rosa, thank you, and tell the boss he is very kind. - sarcastically-The report said; Emiliano Romero, born in the province of Entre Rios, March 23, 1990, mother Roberta Ruiz, father Lautaro Nicolas Romero, and no siblings. His profession is veterinarian, he is fond of science.- Great, thought Maria, I'm ready to get married, how frustrating all this, she lamented a few more seconds of her existence and then left for new directions, at least her profession would remain and she could enjoy new students, without losing sight of her clear objective.She arrived at the airport in Buenos Aires, a car was already waiting to take her to her new residence. It was a very cozy house, and very well decorated given the context of the place, she was assigned a car, Peugeot 308, black obviously, for her better mobility, although she never used it, she was a faithful lover of public transport.The first day of classes, the presentation of the new teacher was revolutionary, since besides being very beautiful and Mexican, she was the first immigrant teacher of the institute, all the Argentines were amazed. Once the formal presentations were over, Maria de la Cruz, was contextualized in the Argentinean history and little by little she was falling in love with her new world, she almost forgot that she was working for the Mexican mafia, quite risky, she should not lose her sanity, but still she tried to enjoy every moment, while doing what she liked.It was very difficult to get to the Romero family, as the whole house was surrounded by large walls with ligustrines, so he would start his own investigation to see what it was all about. He began to plan future casual encounters like buying a dog, he thought that way he could get closer to the vet, but it turned out that Emiliano did not have an office in Buenos Aires and did not take care of dogs, what vet does not take care of dogs?So he thought he had to come up with a plan B. He tried to investigate through the neighbors, where they worked, how they moved and what they did, but it turned out that those porteños did not like to talk, they disliked it, because they called them gossips, and also nobody said anything and as soon as he approached them he felt he caused them discomfort.So he had a plan C. He put cameras at the entrance of his house, with which he spied on the Romeros when they entered and left their home, but it did not work either, since they moved around in tinted vans. That plan did not work either.She moved on to plan D. She had come up with a crazy idea, to follow him, but she wouldn't know which car to follow, so she was forced to find another strategy.
Plan E. Investigate what his meat chain was called. And finally she was able to find a small tip of the big ball she had to untangle, the meat chain was called "Descendant Sheep", a strange name, but at least she intercepted his chains, now she lacked to know where his fields were to finally find the much desired veterinarian, but instead she found something much worse, and more dangerous. With the successful plan E, he managed to find one of the most important slaughterhouses that went to Mexico, although that was not his most important point of investigation, he went into his world, to know if they put substances to beef or not. She sent by mail, her curriculum, lied on it, and got with luck, a job in the administration sector, between teaching and her new job she was saturated the next two months, but anyway it was worth the fatigue, at that time she could not discover anything inside the factory, but she had the privilege of going to the field and after exasperating investigations, he managed to decipher the enigma, he confirmed that yes, they were putting harmful substances to beef to create cancer in people, and at the same time the black market of medicines, if they were preparing their remedies, not to cure, only to improve, because you know what they say, if the patient is cured, the business is over. The cause of cancer is called AHC and HAP, it is a disease invented by the Romero's and the mystery man, this game became dangerously interesting for Maria De La Cruz.Maria De La Cruz was not a pushover, she had not been satisfied with the first results. She decided it would be a good idea to get physical evidence of what was going on there, although she knew it would not be easy to obtain, since as expected everything was surrounded by cameras, in addition to the security guards, so she prepared the documentation and left it on a desk. That day he left work with the adrenaline of knowing that he would be back that same night. The early morning was rainy and cold, ideal for the robbery. He wore black long pants, a tight black shirt, black shoes, a black hat, black glasses, a black chinstrap and black gloves. He did not want the security cameras to capture his face. That night he jumped the fence and entered with his security card. So far the job was very easy, he pretended to steal something else so that the documentation would not be obvious. When she finished, she walked through the corridors of the factory, but was quickly intercepted by one of the guards, who upon seeing her began to shoot without measuring consequences, leaving as a result, a holed wall, a broken glass, and the Mexican woman's arm bleeding, but that did not stop her, as she jumped the fence and ran, saving herself from being discovered by miracle. She arrived home, removed the bullet, healed herself with a lot of pain, and then slept the rest of the night, only two hours before returning to the institution, and to avoid future infections she self-medicated herself. That is a common attitude performed by all human beings who hate going to a hospital.The next morning, just before leaving home, an unexpected visitor knocked on her door.The Romero's field, located on Route 12, had more than 300,000 hectares, but they also had fields in Patagonia, and of course in the north, but the point of experiment was the province of Entre Rios.In her stolen documents Maria de la Cruz, wrote that the point of infection was only in the center of the Argentine map, and she also reported that the local and Mexican government were aware of these negligences and that of course, they charged an important sum of money in exchange for their silence, but they could not expand their infested cattle anywhere. It was an extremely unbreakable deal, otherwise war would break out between them.Maria de La Cruz was not allowed to call her bosses by phone, cell phone, or any similar technological device, nor to write under any material, she had to wait to return to her country with the mission accomplished, or they would look for her and kill her.Of Emiliano Romero, there was no news, it was known that he was in the fields, but she had never be
Mientras tanto la reunión continuaba con su oscuridad atenuante, terminaron de cerrar tratos, y marcando la ruta del narcotráfico, los hospitales que acordaron, las farmacias que participarían en la estafa, todo el manejo que tenían ambos, pero de pronto uno de ellos pregunta Y emiliano? Argumentan que es un simple veterinario y que su equipo estará disponible cuando lo necesite, todo parece estar acorde a la situación, menos la incomodidad del mandamás mexicano.David Del Valle, nacido el 9 de julio de 1963. El nombre de su padre era John Depp Del Valle. Su madre, Betty Sue Del Valle. Es un famoso médico clínico, respetado por curar el cáncer. Aparentemente, el médico encontró un tratamiento especial para la enfermedad maligna, donde ayuda a sus pacientes a sobrellevar la situación y posiblemente curarlos. David, es el tipo de persona que nunca viajó en transporte público, y sus autos siempre deben ser de alta gama, aunque nunca revelaron si realmente era el dueño, y lleva consigo un
Everything was going much better in Mexico. David del Valle was boasting about his good life, by candlelight at a party that he himself had organized. The important point of the celebration was that he had opened two more branches in Cuba, and also at the same event there were some very special guests, Colombian businessmen, who were coming to close "certain treaties". That party concluded with great success, the next day, the main meeting would end in one of the mansions located in the much desired Cancun. All the businessmen and politicians showed up in formal dress for the occasion, ready with their briefcases to close certain treaties, where their respective countries would be affected for the blind society and benefited for a few billionaires. The main issue was the routes, since the merchandise of each of the parties was stipulated and closed for negotiations.Then, the main agreement was the drug trafficking routes, where the politicians would protect the agreements, and the po
In Argentina, the love between Emiliano Romero, and Maria De La Cruz, bloomed like the September equinox. They finished their weekend, full of energy, and many revolutionized hormones. She was in love with his intelligence, when they talked about medicine she loved to listen to him, she was impressed by so much knowledge. He was falling in love with the simplicity of her soul, her heart and her longing for history.It occurred to him that it would be nice to give her a cell phone. Although she tried not to accept his gift, the temptation won out, so she decided to accept. He bought her a chip, activated whatsapp, and they sent many audios for days, but then she opened a social network with a false name, to spy on her friends and acquaintances in Mexico; A mysterious call, with a distorted voice warned her that if she did not disappear that phone, her life would come to an end, at that very moment she realized that she was being watched by David Del Valle's people, although she was
Lautaro Nicolás Romero, together with his wife, was still in captivity, they knew that they could not move from the place or their son's life would be in grave danger. Before reaching two months of confinement, they received a clear and forceful phone call.- Lautaro Nicolas Romero, I was your friend more than your boss, I always looked after your interests and those of your whole family, you were nothing more than a simple and fucking hitman with no future, I built you, I made you have everything, even Emiliano's studies, I paid for you, and I never asked you for anything in return and how do you pay me?- Mr. David Del Valle?- I am your spirit, stupid. Did you really think you could beat me with such an incredulous ambush? Did you think I would be so stupid that I couldn't notice your filth?- Sir, I am innocent, I would never attempt against you, I honestly confess that sometimes I get angry easily but I wouldn't be so foolish to betray you sir, I swear I didn't do it, -he cries-
Finally fulfilling the paternal punishment to which he had accustomed everyone, David Del Valle, appeared in Colombia in the abandoned house in the middle of nowhere where his disillusioned bovine partner was. When his presence entered the hut, he warned him that he would not forgive his betrayal, however he would take into account the years of friendship and the empire they had managed to build together, anyway, he warned him that the laboratories, and everything else important for the bovine organization was his property. Therefore, the ruthless Romero, was lost with nothing, he only had his animals and fields left, but the most valuable thing he still had was his son Emiliano.David Del Valle told him;- With what little honesty you have left, I give Emiliano Romero, your son, the opportunity to take the place that belonged to you before, but from the position of an employee, and not a partner, you will lose all your rights in this organization, and you will return to my shadows wi
Campo de rio negro, continues...Maria De La Cruz, pretends to go to sleep, however, decides to get up, open her safe, takes out a gun, a cell phone, sends a message where she writes; "I'm ready". And then she went out into the field, in the dark, put on her night vision goggles and set out on her mission. She took out her car as best she could, pushing it far away so that it would not make any noise while driving, when she was at a good distance she turned it on, and marched towards her second field of investigation, she had to find out what was in those stables that he so suspiciously did not want to enter with her in the first tour, so she started her own turf.Unfortunately try as she might, and try as she might, the day, was about to peek its glow, and finally that meant that her search had been totally unproductive, because she couldn't find anything. She decided to give up the idea and returned very slowly to the cabin, but far from leaving the car nearby, she parked it in the
On the floor of the basement, a woman was chained by hands and feet, but there was no more time, the gentlemen who were taking care of the place, were simple old men who could do nothing, they called the police, it was the ideal, the kidnapped girl sent Maria to check what was going on upstairs, everything was a matter of seconds, when she told her the situation, the kidnapped girl told her:- Listen, if you tell the police that I am here, you will die, and they will move me to another place, and I will no longer have the possibility of you saving me. The best thing is for you to leave, and come with time, so that together we can get out of here. Now close the door, put the padlock on the same place and leave.In less than five minutes, Maria would have managed to see what was going on outside, go back, padlock the door, leave the key carefully in place, and return pretending that nothing had happened.When the police came in she was coming down from one of the rooms with an earring i
When she picked up the phone, however, she heard the stern rebuke in her father's voice, who shouted, "Arlyne!" She withdrew her hand. With one brief command, Irving had just firmly excluded her from his most intimate affairs. That was the way things worked in the Weiss family. Doors that slammed shut. Mirrors that stared back. And telephone rings that hid secrets. Maria De La Cruz would have been slow to reflect on her mother's writings, at least she discovered that her real name was "Arlyne", and that she had made a kind of auto-bibliography written in the third person, but how could I find out? Well, those sheets hid an admirable truth and bandit, they coincided perfectly with her father's chest. She was confused for a few days, she wasn't sure what her real surname was, her real name, and she certainly had become quite messed up in her mind. However, in the shadows of her questions, she was filled with relief and emotion for the blood that ran in her veins; even though they carrie
Irving and Billie, who were used to frequenting classier joints, had to pop in from time to time, basically because one of the other co-owners was one of Lucky Luciano's friends: Giuseppe Antonio Doto, also known as Joe Adonis. Adonis was an aloof guy and, to Arlyne, a complete mystery. She managed to catch a glimpse of him one night while he sat waiting for her father in front of the apartment. Although Arlyne was not yet a teenager, the sight of Adonis' hazy profile through the tinted glass of the Cadillac aroused some sexual interest in her. His marked, sensual features seemed both exotic and forbidding. Although the question had not been explicitly discussed, it was clear that any daughter of Irving Weiss would stay far away from the Italians, who were widely known for preying on mirror maze 51 Jewish girls and recounting the details of their conquests on street corners and in taverns all over the Lower East Side. On the one hand, Adonis was attractive because he was so strange,
Although pleasant at first, these formalities began to wear on Miss Blum's patience. Constrained by convention, she could not initiate contact without a suitable pretext. Fortunately, one did present itself. One of the funeral homes was going to hold a raffle and all the East Side undertakers were given a handful of ballots to sell. Ida Blum, who usually handled these matters, called her daughter and asked if she was interested in trying her luck with the Weiss brothers. At her mother's timely suggestion, Billie went to Houston Street on the pretext of selling them ten raffle tickets. Irving was willing to buy all ten, but Henry stopped him, telling him that five would be enough. That confirmed what Billie thought: that Irving was the most generous, and the best catch. In fact, Billie had left nothing to chance. Before approaching them and without anyone seeing her, she had lifted the red Mafia Girl 46 stamps from the ballots in order to guarantee that she was selling a winning one t
Those who declined the offer received threats of sabotage and often death. Lansky and Los Chicos ran their criminal enterprises almost unchallenged until 1933, when they found themselves in troubled waters in the political arena. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had emerged victorious at the 1932 Democratic National Convention with the support of the Lansky-controlled political bosses, soon turned against his old allies and launched an all-out war against organized crime. That move made him so popular that local politicians across the country took his lead. New York Governor Herbert Lehman appointed a politically ambitious young man named Thomas Dewey as special prosecutor to bring the mobsters to justice. Dewey set about his task with fervor, lashing out at the bouncers across the spectrum of suspect sectors. However, the onslaught of his prosecutorial fury fell especially hard on Lepke and Gurrah, whom he considered "the two biggest extortionists in the country." Realizing t
They were all avid gamblers, and they all came to Frankie. Sometimes, preferably on Saturday afternoons, because no funerals were officiated and she was allowed to gamble on the front steps, Arlyne would visit her grandmother. On those occasions, she would go down a back staircase leading to the neighboring basement and visit Uncle Frankie and his friends. She used to find them stretched out on a couple of old couches, going over the race sheet and listening to the standings on a big old wooden radio. They didn't seem to mind that little girl hanging around. Sometimes Frankie or one of the others would sneak her a quarter and a pat on the cheek. In fact, as Arlyne recalls, those men were "the Uncles." For example, there was Uncle Milty Tillinger, the loan shark. Once, when one of Milty's relatives was on the run from justice, Ida hid him in the coffin room until the danger passed, earning the loyalty of the Tillinger family forever. There was also Izzy Smith, owner of Zion Cemetery do
As Arlyne observed, Grandma was always surrounded by men, most of them much younger than she was. Among those blowflies flying over Ida's kitchen on Friday night were Jimmy and Jake, the chauffeurs in charge of driving the hearse during the funeral. It was obvious that both young men held their benefactress in high esteem. Jake, a ladies' man, flirted with Ida nicely and then went on his way. The other, however, had been hit harder. Jimmy the Pagan, as he was known, was a shy soul who seemed unable to find a girlfriend. Ida had taken pity on him and offered to teach him to dance. Later, when she had finished her duties as cook, she would take his hand and lead him into the living room, where she would put a record on the phonograph. Then, to the delight of those present, she would show Jimmy the first steps in the erotic pleasures of tango. Their bodies were not a perfect match; Ida was much more muscular than her skinny dancing partner. But Jimmy was eager to learn and Arlyne found i
As far back as Arlyne's memory goes, every Friday night the Weiss family went to Grandma's house. It was a sacred obligation, one they could not skip under any circumstances. As a child, Arlyne looked forward to those outings with innocent enthusiasm, taking them for granted and not understanding them. By 1944, when she was eleven years old, an age when the growing knowledge of the mysteries behind ordinary events pricked her curiosity, those visits took on a new importance. At three o'clock sharp, as soon as they came home from school, Arlyne and her little sister, Barbara, would bathe and change, putting on the dress the maid had left on the bed. They then presented themselves to their mother, who, as was customary at that hour, was seated on a stool before the dressing table. Billie Weiss assessed her daughters with a critical eye and then placed the little girl before her. As she braided her long honey-colored hair, the little girl's head bobbed docilely up and down. But that idyl
In 1957, at the age of twenty-three, she married a furrier named Brickman. However, that union exploded because of her husband's constant flirtations, in addition to his penchant for grand larceny. With a young daughter and an indefatigable spirit, Arlyne resumed her destructive pursuit of glamour and influence only to end up raped and beaten to a pulp at the hands of mobsters she considered her friends. The rape marked in Arlyne's career the advent of a new cruelty, born simultaneously of a desire to ven- The Mob Girl 18 ganza and the need to protect herself. She spent the next thirteen years of her life in a stormy and often violent relationship with a Genovese mobster named Tommy Luca. During that period, she also became an "entrepreneur", engaging first in illegal gambling and then in drug trafficking, and displaying a constant obsession with money. It was that cynical view of the world that allowed her to evolve quite naturally into a career as a confidante. The main reason for t
Before returning to Argentina to begin her plan of revenge against Emiliano Romero and his brother David Del Valle, she wanted to go back to her childhood neighborhood, and remembered the houses of some friends, one of them Lupita, she called her when she saw her walking quietly between the most dangerous streets of Mexico, but with the gun in her waist, she only gave the impression of being part of there, and in fact she was. When Maria saw Lupita, she crossed the street to meet her, there they entered a large house, one of the best, three stories, white, surrounded by fences and more precarious homes, the lack of the place was noticeable. That afternoon they spent the whole day together, but in the evening Maria wanted to return to Guanajuato, since she had rented an apartment there, just before leaving, her friend found a folder with a particular manuscript that she said was from her mother when she was a little girl. Their mothers had been friends in ancient times, and apparently
