At 5ft, 1 inche, José was a very short man with a round belly that looked like he had a calabash attached to his stomach and a flat butt that looked like the cheeks were sliced off. Making it seem like his butt cheeks were sucked into his thighs.

His Hispanic face was as round as his stomach with his cheeks leveling up with every part of his face to form what looked like a ball with facial features drawn on it. His eyes socket looked so tiny and his eyeballs so small that his friends joked that if he could only lose his baby fats, so they could really see his egg whites.

Because of his looks, José was someone you would notice immediately but also forget the moment he is out of sight. Having been at the receiving end of much bullying and rejection, José decided to drop out of school at age 17 to join his cousin; Mateo, who lived at Puerto Nuevo, a small lobster village close to the border. Leaving his father, two brothers and sick mother behind.

    After traveling for about 30 minutes, José became apprehensive. First Mateo had not called back and when he tried to call, he discovered that they were out of service range. If he had known that they were entering a no network territory, he would have left markers at every turn. But now after making up to 6 turns, he was finding out that Mateo might never be able to find them. He was crossed between going back and keeping the jeep in sight. He really didn't want to go against organ traffickers on his own. He had slowed down and just kept at a speed that made sure he could see their tail lights while driving blind. Just when his fear got the better of him and he was about to make a U-turn, the Jeep seemed to stop moving and its lights went off.  José also stopped and got out of his car. He opened his booth and started searching for something. Only if he had a gun. But he had never needed one until now. For a drug dealer, he was quite pathetic. But then he was

    Everything was going just fine until someone suddenly jumped on ICE out of the dark and stabbed him with a spike. HD had managed to carry Ice and Ben to the cave then went back for the crazy dude whom he had knocked out. He then opened the den and took them in, one after the other. After restraining Ben, he had to find a way to stop Ice's bleeding internal wound and stabilize him, so he took some time before coming out to get the crazy attacker. HD was scared and angry at the same time. First Ice, who was supposed to watch their back was drunk and high which was why he was careless and got jumped in the middle of nowhere. Now he wasn't sure if the crazy guy had followed them from town or he was just some homeless person who was probably living in the cave, got spooked by their presence and decided to attack them. Secondly, Ice's wound was deep and probably lethal since that spike was practically buried in his body. HD couldn't call anybody for help because they were not su

    Through the glass door, they were able to see a long, wide room that ended with a curtain of translucent nylons. The line of nylon cut across the room and it was clearly hiding something or another space from their immediate view. Just like the corridor they passed through, the wide space only had stretchers lined up against the wall on both sides. Lobo poked HD who had paused after opening the glass door with his gun. "Move!"HD heaved and stepped into the well lit room. His eyes became more gloomy. If only he didn't disarm the security features of the building. Right now, these stupid men would have become his preys. The empty room was a trap room that would have opened up under their feet and swallow them up if it was still functional but HD had accessed its control and disabled it on his phone on arrival. With HD in the lead, they moved into the room and the glass door closed with a click. The sound of this click seemed to ha

    Mateo was the first to step in, followed by the hiker. On the panel by the right hand side of the elevator door, there were no numbers. Just two red arrows going in opposite directions. The one facing up was blinking a crimson red color while the one facing downward was dead. The door slid close and immediately, the arrow facing downward started blinking red while the one facing up, went dead. Without them touching anything, the elevator started moving the moment the door locked up. It was first a slow descent but just after 2 seconds, the elevator cabin simply dropped! Making Mateo and the hiker yep like a startled dog. The two occupants quickly grabbed at the smooth wall. If not that the space was already cramped for the two of them, they might have ended up on the floor but there was nowhere to fall to, but on themselves. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes because the cabin just kept going. The further it dropped, the higher their

    When the Don of Mateo's gang got the news that one of his local boys spotted someone that looked like Ben, he didn't make any move until he got the news that José's car was found along with some other unrelated car in the middle of nowhere in the Sonora mountains. At this point, he informed Derrick and they got on standby. Derrick would have moved immediately but Sonora wasn't a place you want to barge into just because you have the ability. There are some troubles one should try to do without, unless unavoidable in a foreign territory.But immediately José's body was identified, Derrick jumped on his chopper with the four members of shadow.  Even though the location was under the radar, finding it through the satellite wasn't a big deal. In minutes, they were already in the territory. The chopper landed in a valley and the fully kitted, combat-ready, five men team, stealthy made their way to the red dot on their multipurpose wrist watches. Half run

    Kah..kah..kah!!!"The sound of AKs….."Wait! Don't shoot! He is with us!"Lobo quickly reacted when Derrick's team readied their rifles to take Mateo down as the oblivious guy ran into the corridor on his way to the hiker's side of the vast hall. Mateo froze up on the spot. With three high caliber rifles pointed at him, he was trembling and suddenly felt like his bladder was full. "So none of you managed to get a single shot out. What if he was the enemy?!" Derrick sternly reproached his boys.Gulp!Mateo and Lobo swallowed."I already told you my boys are the only ones here."Lobo managed to stutter.But in response, Derrick simply stared at HD. "This way..." HD responded and led them to the hiker's side of the wall. With HD leading, Everybody started looking around. After walking for some time, the group got to the middle of the hall where the passage became a cross

    "Hey! " HD whispered gently to Ice  who had just opened his eyes for the first time. "I am sorry. I fucked up." Ice whispered with a wizzy voice. Blood spilled out of his mouth from the side and HD brought out a handkerchief to dab at his mouth."It's okay baby. It's okay. You need to preserve your strength. Stop talking okay.""I woke him up so he could talk." Derrick declared, making HD tremble in anger.Ice frowned and looked around. The cabin was filled with 12 people, clustered together at close range, holding Glocks and combat rifles. 10 of them were staring at him intently. He felt uneasy and turned to HD, confused."We are going to the dome. I need you to give me access to your server.""What?! No!" Ice refused. His uneven and wheezy breathing got worse as he became agitated and upset at once. HD squeezed him reassuringly and gave him a hard stare. " You need to calm down, love."

    "Get ready to move!" Derrick suddenly announced. The shadows, excluding ES04, who was carrying Ben, who was still unmoving,-got their guns ready. "What's the layout?" Derrick turned to the tech guy.Without saying a word, ES03  pressed a button on the side of the slim laptop he was using all this while. The keyboard pad suddenly withdrew into the body of the laptop screen. He clicked on another button on the side and the screen went dark. A white light came on, on the other side of the laptop. The tech guy turned the touch light-like light on the wall above Ice's body and repeatedly pressed a button. The more he pressed the button, the wider the spectrum of the light became. Soon the bright light formed a rectangle on the wall and the laptop screen came on again, showing a screen touch  keypad.  He started pressing the keypads and the map of the whole area soon got projected on the wall. Some places were marked in colors like red, blue, green, yello

Two of Nikkie's men were holding up the still unconscious Derrick in-between themselves, while the rest guarded them with weapons drawn. The two teams were having a standoff waiting for who would fire first but this was only possible because Jan had called his men earlier and told them to cease fire. Jan gallantly strolled to stand beside Boris who was leading his men. He took his time to look Nikkie's men over and imprint their faces in his heart before smirking in a derisive way. " So you all are Jakub's men living right under my nose." He nodded his head in acceptance of the fact in front of him. Jan was brimming with anger and the restraints he placed on himself knowing that Jakub could blow up his ranch was evident in his voice and body language. He was trembling and had his p

    By the time Rolph stepped into Jan's office, he found Jan standing by a window with a freshly lit cigar in his mouth. Rolph humbly walked over to Jan's desk and stood there with his head bowed, waiting for further instructions. "Sit down." Jan muttered. In fact, if Rolph's five senses, except for his down-turned eyes, weren't focused on Jan, he probably wouldn't have heard the order. It was as if Jan wasn't talking to him. This made him wonder if there were more troubling things to come. Whatever it was that had Jan so distracted could only be resolved by Jan. Even his own present issues were out of his hands. Rolph took one of the seats and waited. He didn't have to wait for long because Jan puffed a fog of smoke then returned to his seat where he opened his laptop and turned it to face Rolph. On the screen was an open letter from the leader of Robert's family. "They have contacted you?!" Rolph gasped."Read it." Jan replied.Rolph heaved and started reading. The first thing

    The moment they stepped into the room, two men already on standby grabbed Derrick and dragged him to a set of heavy iron chains hanging down from the ceiling, just like the one Rolph had in his underground torture room back in Texas. Since Derrick was declared as Rolph's property, Rolph had stopped receiving his punishments. Derrick was the one receiving them in his stead. So when he was grabbed, Derrick and Rolph were not surprised and Derrick didn't put up a fight. Rolph rolled his eyes and faced Jan who had settled in his seat, smoking his cigar as he watched his men chain Derrick up. "How is what Jolanta does with Jennifer any of my business? I don't know where they are. Why are you putting this on me?" Rolph demanded with a straight face. Jan chuckled silently and glanced at Rolph before crushing out his cigar on an ashtray on the table beside his chair. "You have really overestimated yourself.
