Chapter 264: Marked For Death By the CIA
The day after Alex conquered Maria’s heart and body, the pink-haired beauty clung tightly to his side. Alex awoke to find himself in the woman’s embrace, and yet he did not stay by her side long. There was a limited amount of time before the US Government decided on a course of action on how to deal with Los Zetas. And if it were to come to an outright invasion, Alex did not want to be in Mexico when the fighting went down.
Thus, Alex quickly left a note for Maria when she finally awoke, instructing her to go to the airport where a private plane would take her safely out of the country. As for What Alex intended to do now, he planned to make his move on Nina.
Thus, he once more drove to the girls’ college campus in an attempt to force her into seeing him again. But while Alex was trying to win over the heart of the young hacker, the United States Government was voting on whether or not to intervene in Mexico Militarily. But more importantly, the Federal Agencies had begun to shift their sights on Los Zetas.
In an office within Langely Virginia, sitting within the headquarters of the CIA, there was the director of said agency. He was staring at a board which had the pictures of Los Zeta’s leadership pinned to it, and directly below La Madre’s beautiful photograph was one of Alex Smith.
The photograph displayed Alex in his sicario gear, albeit with his mask removed, and was captured by the DEA prior to their failed plan, which resulted in the deaths of several field agents and even higher-ranking officers.
The secretary of the CIA’s director pushed her glasses up to get a better view as she made a statement aloud.
The director of the CIA scoffed before staring menacingly at Alex’s photo. His words were full of arrogance and were outright treasonous if one were to actually hold someone of his position accountable for what he said and did.
“You think I give a damn about securing the border? What is good for the nation is not necessarily good for those who are in control. And they don’t want a secure border. If they did, do you really think we would allow millions of people to flood into this country unchecked each year?
A stable Mexico may be in the best interest of the Nation, but it is the exact opposite of what our benefactors want. So no, we will not be allowing Los Zetas to stay in control. Once we eliminate their leadership, they will collapse, and the ensuing power vacuum will once more break out into chaos.
And we will start with this Alex Smith... Sure, he may have some powerful people protecting him, but there are even more powerful people who have marked him for death. Stupid kid, you never should have interfered with their plans...”
The secretary sighed heavily; she knew damn well she was working for the devil, and that her actions, and that of the CIA, as well as many other federal agencies were actually more detrimental to the United States and its people, then it was beneficial. But that was her job, thus she immediately began to look on her phone for an available covert ops team who would be able to get the job done.
“Alright... I’ve alerted Covert Ops. As of this moment, Alex Smith is marked as a target for elimination. His death will come when he least expects it. Once he is dead, we will move onto the other leaders of Los Zetas. Is that all, or did you want anything else from me?”
The Director of the CIA sat down in his seat and threw a dart at Alex’s picture. There was a conceited smirk on his face as he dismissed his assistant.
“That will be all... Take the rest of the week off. Because starting Monday we are going to be very busy...”
