The Journey to Freedom: Path to WW3

Chapter XIII

Instead of a man of peace and love, I have become a man of violence and revenge – Hiawatha

We get to one of my grandparents' house and start getting ready, as I load what I need in the bag I can sense my cousin Daniel staring at me. Everybody stops and asks what the plan is? I reply, everybody take these earpieces. They are your receivers; the microphone will be these throat mics. My receiver looks like an earring, I had it fitted so that it looks like I'm not carrying anything. And my microphone will be this watch and it even doubles as a recorder.

I pull out the map of the town and tell them where the police station is and then print out a map of how the place looks in a zoomed view.

Fito and Drew, you will pretend you're students walking around, don't worry because you will be our backups. We will take the first shot. You two just have to distract any cops coming towards the police station from a safe distance so that when it's time to make an escape you two can make sure we can get away.

Daniel and Kevin will be on the opposite side of the station talking to each other pretending to be busy with directions like lost tourists.

A.B. will be at this bench pretending to holla at girls. Leave the sniper rifles because when Lawrence and Marcus get here, I'll draw on the map where they are supposed to be at to cover us. As for me, I will be at this ice cream shop that's directly across the street from the police station.

We will all keep in contact in English, we don't want them knowing that we are scoping them out and give ourselves away.

My cousin looks at me and asks again "so what's the plan?"

"I told you the plan already. Law and Marcus are on their way, and when I give the signal, that's when you all start covering me because as soon as I attack, the attack will be fast and hard, this way the police officers won't know what hit them."  I tell my cousin.

They all get ready and put their weapons in their backpacks and put on their disguises. We walk to the corner and get in to two taxis to drop us off at the park that's connected to the police station. The taxi drops off Fito and Drew over by the corner away from the station. Then drops off A.B. over by the guy selling corns in a cup and drives away. Our taxi drops off Daniel and Kevin on the opposite side of the station and then finally drops me off directly in front of the station at the ice cream parlor.

I do a radio check, and everyone checks in. I tell them to stand by and get ready for my signal. I put my bag over by the table next to the window in front of the store. I go and buy an ice cream cone and sit down at the table and stare at the station. Hopefully the captain will show his face.

We wait for about an hour and he never showed up. I get impatient and wait for the last customer to walk out and I tell everyone to get ready. I unzip the large bag and pull out the M202 already fitted with napalm rockets. I hear the workers in the ice cream parlor yell and see them run to the back.

I open the door and fire a rocket. It hits the front of the police station and breaks the windows and flames start to go everywhere, I shoot the second rocket to the second door over by the police officers cars and see flames surround the door and the entrance. I hear yelling from the front of the station and shoot a third rocket and finally the last rocket into the cop car closest the second entrance.

I drop the M202 and pull out the AK47 and start walking across the street and see the cars stop immediately and start going in reverse. I start shooting the police officers that are on fire and put them out of their misery.

I hear my cousin yelling over the radio "what are you doing!? The captain never showed up."

I talk into my watch and say "too bad, I told you what I was going to do. Now I need everyone to get ready just in case the cops start coming back."

I run into the station, shoot anyone that I see that's a police officer. Finally, I make it to the back and see the office where the captain is supposed to be at. I walk inside and the phone rings.

I pick it up and answer, "El capitán no está. Deja un mensaje."

And then there's a voice on the other end "En serio pensaste que iba ser tan fácil? Pensaste que nomás me iba quedar sentado y esperar que llegarás para matarme? Ya sabía que ibas a venir por mí."

I reply, "Yo estaba con las esperanzas de que estuvieras aquí, porque como maté a tu jefe y tus hombres tan fácilmente. Sabía que todos los narcos están iguales de pendejos."

Then the captain replies "Pues pensaste mal soldadito. Ahora yo soy el que va verte la cara de pendejo."

And then I hear a voice that gives me a cold shiver down my spine. "Papi! Ven por nosotros! No nos quieren dejar ir hasta que tú vengas por nosotros."

Before Genesis could finish her sentence, I knew that by coming after this guy, I left my oldest daughter without protection and yell into my watch.

"Everyone back to the base!!! Everything just got complicated!!!"
