cartel crime detective espionage international smuggling terror thriller trafficking

This contains one chapter from three difference Alex Landon stories to give readers a sample of my writing and the characters from this series.

OPERATION BARRICADE
Arizona drug task force detectives and SWAT teams begin using coordinated, small-unit military tactics to combat human trafficking and narcoterrorism, and quickly make several multimillion dollar seizures. When the Mexican drug cartels retaliate by viciously targeting the officers and their families, how can the cops protect the community while fighting to defend themselves? 

THE RECIDIVIST
Homicide detectives identify the lone suspect in a heinous double murder as the victims' son, a recently paroled meth-addict, adamantly professes his innocence and blames an unidentified killer. As politicians, police administrators, and the victims' family demand the ex-con's immediate conviction, mounting conflicts force detectives to question both his guilt, and their moral and legal obligations to investigate exculpatory evidence. 

THE TOXIN
Cops investigate a series of seemingly unrelated mass murders caused by an unknown biotoxin. As hundreds frantically work to identify the agent and its antidote, the unidentified suspects begin targeting cops, prosecutors, and judges with such ferocity that law enforcement must choose between protecting the public and protecting itself.All Rights Reserved

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for.

Almost Human by TrikkiNikki

Robots have become a modern staple. The Big Three, three mega-robotics companies, have set up a monopolistic control of the worldwide robotics market, selling everything from the most basic, task-oriented units to androids, the humanlike metallic jacks-of-all-trades. And then there is Veda. She's young and the most gifted robotics engineer the world has ever seen. And the only thing about her equal to her intelligence with robotics is her reclusiveness. Unwilling to be recruited by the underhanded Big Three and turned into a researching and developing slave, Veda has hidden herself from the world since she could learn how to build a circuit. In her home, she has tinkered and built robots that the world has never known..... But when a good friend of hers and a Head Roboticist at one of the Big Three goes missing and foul-play is suspected, a detective named Andrew comes to her door, hoping to get some information about this disappearance. What he finds is not the solution to a mystery, but a world of mechanical engineering that delves into the realms of taboo so deeply that he is caught up in the conspiracy of it all. And more important than the task he originally set out to complete, Andrew meets a miraculous creation, something so new and different that it could change the world, or even the course of human history. His name is Sam.

Shadows of deceit by upbeatguy23

In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, a complex web of power, crime, and intrigue weaves its way through the city's heart. This is a mafia story, a tale of organized crime that unfolds in the shadows, where loyalty is as deadly as betrayal, and power is the ultimate currency. At the center of this seedy underworld is a charismatic and enigmatic mob boss, a figure whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of legality. This mafia don is a master of manipulation, shrouded in an aura of charm that belies a ruthless and cunning mind. His empire stretches from illicit gambling dens to the drug trade, from extortion rackets to underground fight clubs. The city itself becomes a character in the story, its alleys and backstreets concealing secrets, and its towering skyscrapers casting long shadows over the criminal enterprises that flourish within. The juxtaposition of opulence and decay is striking, as glamorous penthouses overlook squalid tenements, and the echoes of power are heard amid the sirens and gunshots. The story's protagonists are a motley crew of characters, each with their own moral compass and motivations. A disillusioned detective, haunted by the memory of a loved one lost to the mafia's clutches, is determined to bring down the boss and dismantle the syndicate. Alongside him, a conflicted lawyer finds herself torn between her duty to uphold the law and her loyalty to a childhood friend entangled in the mafia's web. As the plot unfolds, alliances are forged and broken, betrayals and vendettas fuel the narrative, and the line between right and wrong blurs into shades of gray. Family ties, whether by blood or loyalty, play a pivotal role, as characters grapple with the choices they've made and the consequences that come with it.
