ALICIA'S DRUG

PART THIRTEEN

        We reached the dining room and the dinner was just like in a fairy tale. "How we gon' eat all this shit?" I asked shocked at what I found. It was like a full table. Well mostly covered by the full Turkey, with pork chops on the side, Kentucky chicken and the sea food was cod, I like cod, he really knows me well. It's like someone told him all about me. I doubt it though
          "Let's eat." He said pulling out a chair for me. "Thank you so much" I said as I sat down. "Ok now tell me your plans" I said as we started to eat. "I plan to take you away, if you want" he said abit excited. "We go far away on a vacation to the Bahamas. I have enough money and businesses to last me till I die and I want to spend my life with you." I couldn't help buy imagine, me, telling the team to abort the mission, getting a fake passport, new identity, new life, starting over with someone new. I know it would be hard at first since I wouldn't love him but I'd learn, leave the past behind me, leave Ashton, Karen, my old life, and just leave in peace, who wouldn't love such a life.
                  "Think about it" he said. "No worries,obligations,threats,problems,just you and me and no work,just play". "Look,I've heard the good stuff, now I need to know were the money comes from before I get any trouble." I said after hearing everything. Why isn't he spilling?. "I'm a drug dealer okay?"he said yelling. He noticed I was scared then he took a deep breathe as if to relax. "I'm a drug dealer. In fact the leader of a cartel" he said, this time calmly. "I lead the most prominent cartel in Bolivia and I deal in both liquid and solid drugs," he paused. "We sell the hardcore drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroine and crack when liquid, its hard to get it since it's liquid, the feds think it's some liquor or some shit," he paused, "the soft drugs are sold as medicines, like Mira, Cuba and opium and some other Bolivian stuff. That's the reason for the hospital." He then stopped and looked at me waiting for my reaction "Please," I said, "go on". "I want to open my hospital to be able to sell my drugs legally I'm Miami, that's why I need you to sign these papers." He said handing me the papers . I looked at him, knowing it's time to stall and then get him, I have him recorded and he is the leader of the greatest cartel in Bolivia but I need him to confess about Hamilton. "So," I continued while taking the paper and eating my food, "do you know about Hamilton?" . "Hamilton of Hamilton inc.?" He asked. "Yes, did you have business with him? " I asked "yes," he replied, "I had some business with his son,". His son, "Ashton." I said out loud. "Yes that one" he said normally "he threatened me, he said that if I didn't help him, he would rat me out to the feds". "Help him with what?" I asked shocked "He said that if don't help him terminate his dad and cover up the tracks for him, he'd rat me out." He said again blankly. "So what I did was obviously to do what I knew, I'd threaten the father, then kill him and since am hard to find, go on, but the feds couldn't just drop the case, so it made it hard for me to reach you." So all along, the person who wanted me to prove him innocent was the murderer, he told me he was innocent, he killed his dad, he killed Carlos his father's driver, why?. "You know, I want to turn myself in and then I'd be let go and run with you." He said, I looked to see whether he was lying but no, there was honesty in his eyes, he really did love me. What was I doing not to notice?. "Abort mission," I said crying, "arrest Ashton Hamilton instead, I'll be the one to interrogate" I broke down and cried. "I'm sorry Alicia, let's get Ashton" said Maxwell.
           "So the feds were here all this time."he said sadly. "You can't trust me". "I'm sorry," I said crying, "Ashton's my friend and I can't think it was him, yes him and his dad had a few issues but, he loved him." "That's it," he said rising angrily, "no wonder he used you, your as gallable as fuck. He knew you would side with him no matter what". "But then at the bar" I said looking at him. "I needed to see you, I had seen you at the coffee shop and I really had to find a way to see you again," he said sounding sad, tears were in his eyes, he ain't lying. "I'm sorry, " I cried. All this time, I thought I was alone yet someone was there with me all the time, why am I such a fool? "And Jerome wanted me off the case, did he know too?" I asked in between tears. "I have my men on that D.A guy, I don't like him coz he had you so I decided to put y man on him. He went and asked Ashton about me and Ashton didn't hide a thing since they are best friends, so he wanted you off the case so that you don't find out and he could stay with you."he then paused "you do something to men, I don't know what, but it's something". So he knew. "Wait here," I said rising, "I need to make a phone call". "Take your time." He said breathing. I stood up trying to look for body movements of whether he was lying but there was none. So I moved away to call Jerome
              When he picked up, I was so angry I couldn't hold it. "How can you do this to me?" I asked crying. "Do what?" He replied asking dumbly. "Tell me, why did you want me off the case and be honest" I said angrily, "do you have Ponce?" He asked as if changing the topic. "No," I said angrily, "I have the mastermind behind Ponce" . "Well who?" He asked "Ashton," I broke down, "and you knew about it". "Hey look am sorry Alicia," he said when I reduced on my sobbing, "I couldn't tell you because I knew it would hurt you," he said calmly, "that's why I wanted to take the case, to arrest Ponce either way and to let Ashton have his big break and so that me and you can be happy together." "Happy?" I barked angrily, "you expect me to be happy? I hate you so much right now, you betrayed me. I never want to see you again in my life. EVER!" I said emphasizing the ever part. "Alicia let's discuss this please" he said before I hang up. "I quit," I told Maxwell before I took off the ear piece and the recorder and broke them, then I headed straight for the elevator. I don't know what I was going to do, but I had to put my life right and ASAP
