FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY CENTRAL FLORIDA

As I parked my car, I sighed as I wished that everything from today onwards no sort of bullshit happens. I got out and walked towards the entrance with Mike and Marcus on my heels. As we said that we were here on official police business they told us to wait for some minutes so they could escort out Armando so we could talk to him. After we got the green light to see Armando we walked in and saw Armando sitting inside a cell. He stood up as he saw that it wasn't only me. "Hey, I'm sorry I didn't come here early," I said to Armando as he gave me a small smile. "It's okay," Armando said as I moved to the side to give space for Mike so he could start talking. "How you doing?" Mike asked. "It's a prison," Armando said with a sarcastic voice. "Yeah. Look, we need your help. They're saying that Captain Howard was dirty. Do you know anything about that?" "How much time do I get off for this one?" Armando asked Mike. "We are still working on that. Look, babe, this is me telling you that I need you, right now." I said to Armando as he realized that I was not playing. "I need to know if Captain Howard was working with the cartels," Mike asked him as he saw that Armando was willing to answer his questions. "No. He was onto the ones that were. So, he got green-lit." Armando replied to Mike as Mike and Marcus looked at each other. "Wait, no. No, Captain Howard was killed because he was on your mother's hit list." Mike said as Armando and I looked at each other. "He was added to it. Your people wanted it to look like us. Your people wanted him dead." Armando said to us making me realize something. "What you mean "our people'?" Marcus asked as he sounded confused by what Armando was saying. "You should be careful. Out of the three of you, only two of you are playing a game, when you don't even know the rules. There are dirty players on your side." Armando continued to say. "That's bullshit." "No, it's not, Armando is right. Not everyone loved Captain Howard." I told Marcus. "Wait, who?" Mike asked. "I saw him one time. Isa, you remember the day I took you with me to the meeting," Armando said to me as I tried to remember. "Yeah, but I don't think I would remember anyone I never got out of the car," "Can you I.D him?" Marcus asked as soon as I finished talking. "Si," "Give me a name." "I don't know his name. My mother: she's the one who dealt with him." Armando said. "It was the day after your mother escaped," I said as I sighed not remembering anything else.

"I knew we should've kept that damn witch alive," Marcus said. "Marcus," Mike said to him. "May she rest in peace," Marcus said to Armando as Armando rolled his eyes. "We should get going, you guys go I'll catch up," I told Mike and Marcus as they understood that I wanted to talk to Armando alone. After I saw they left I turned over to Armando. "What did you mean that out of the three of us, only two don't know the game?" I asked Armando as he smiled. "Amor, you are the only one that knows, how this shit works. Like you said not everyone loved your Captain. You know how all this shit works. You trained with me, you were there when I did my job, and you saw everything, only you have the knowledge of this. While I am stuck here you are the best chance Mike has out there. You're smarter than you think you are, Bella," Armando said as he looked me in my eyes and all I could see was the truth. I was about to say something but my phone rang indicating I just got a message. I looked at my phone and noticed a contact appear, a contact I never thought I would ever get again, Captain Howard's. "I'll see you later, amor. Watch your back and be careful in there," I told Armando as I started to leave. "Always, Princess," Armando said as he sent me a wink before I left. As I left the room an officer escorted me outside.

As I reached outside, I went to my car, got in, and opened the message I got. "If you're seeing this, I'm probably dead. Fuck. Fuck me. Before I begin, I want to say one thing: I'm putting you in mortal danger. Boys, Isa, we got rats in our walls. But I- I got to make sure you're my bad boys and my Bella. The Coke bottle giant is the key. Don't trust anybody." The video of Captain Howard said. "What. The Coke bottle giant is the key," I said to myself as I looked out to the sky through my car window wondering what he meant until I smiled and realized something. "Fletcher," I said thanking Cap while looking to the sky. I turned on my car and started to drive into the streets, as I called Mike. "Please, tell me you got the same video of Cap as I did," I said to Mike as he answered my call. "Yeah, both Marcus and I got it. But we still don't know what he meant by the Coke bottle giant is the key," Mike said as I turned a corner. "You two are slow. It's Fletcher. Fletcher is the key, Mike," "What? Why him?" Marcus asked as he was confused. "Well, there is one way to find out. I'll meet you boys on the street in front of Fletcher's warehouse," I told them as I ended the call.
