Plot Revealed

"The day of our death? ... Hey! Kid, be careful what you say, that's not a topic you can joke about "Ernesto said as he frowned.

"No old man, this is no joke" Sebastian Wild replied with a stern tone as he continued. "Vicente Cortez will make his move in the next few days, that's something I'm sure of"

"Umh? ... tell me about that. Let's see where that idiot gets his guts from "Ernesto said, his face beginning to turn gloomy.

"It's like that, in three days they will set me a trap that will make it look as if I stole from the Cartel and they will execute me on the spot." Sebastian began to briefly explain what had happened on his first death. After all, he couldn't tell him that he had already lived what would happen.

"If I avoid the trap, Vicente's men will seek to eliminate me regardless of the reason and manner. As far as I've found out he has control over 100 kilometers around Casa Vieja. For this operation, he arranged people in the two large cities on the eastern border for any irregularities that may occur, so it is impossible to escape the siege that he has arranged. " Sebastian continued as he told him what he was able to gather in his painful second death.

"As soon as he deals with me it will be your turn old man, he will come directly and besiege your mansion forcing you to leave after that he will execute you on the spot" Sebastian finished telling the old man what he knew.

"Umh? ... "Ernesto thought as he looked at Sebastian with a frown.

"So you're telling me that the trap is set and there is no way out of it, but I ask you, where did that idiot get such guts?" Ernesto asked as he continued to comment: "After all, I am the one who has control over the tunnels and the Cartel will not allow such valuable assets to be lost."

"Kid are you sure what you're telling me? Where did you get this information?" Ernesto kept asking anxiously.

"This ... The information, I had my ways of gathering it, and the confidence in the information? it is completely true!" Sebastian answered without any hesitation.

"I don't know kid, although I trust you, this information is very strange" Ernesto replied doubtfully. "Do you have any way to prove it?" Ernesto continued.

"Yes !, but before showing it you must promise that you will do whatever is necessary to help me and also tell me what you know about the death of my parents," Sebastian said looking deeply at the old man in front of him.

"Umh promise you something? ... So you finally show your true colors kid, hah" Ernesto said while teasing a little.

"True colors? I don't know what you're talking about old man, just answer if you can promise me. " Sebastian replied as he kept looking at the old man.

"Hmph !, kid maybe you fool the people in this town, but you would never fool me after all I changed your diapers when you were a baby and watched you grow up, I know all your tricks" Ernesto sneered as he continued "Tell me what you know, if it is as you say we will have to work together to get out of this. About your parents, there will be time later to tell you what I know, but do not have much hope, the information I have about that is little"

"Okay, bring me the map of the border," Sebastian said as he prepared to tell him the most important information he obtained on his last death.

"Umh ... what are you going to do?" Ernesto muttered as he pulled out a map of the border and placed it on the desk.

When the map was on the desk Sebastian began to mark various points in a desolate and rocky area on both sides of the border.

"This! … "Ernesto muttered incredulously as he looked at the arrangement of the dots on the map.

Sebastian was slowly marking different areas until he finished pointing out what he remembered. On the map, there were 2 points on each side of the border and a couple of lines that interconnected them both, apart from this, there were 3 small circles on each line that overlapped and assumed high importance.

"These points ... where did you get this information from?" Ernesto asked sternly as he looked solemnly at Sebastian.

"I already told you, I have my ways" Sebastian replied.

"Hmph kid, a few lines and a few dots do not prove anything, some of those locations are already known, tell how does this prove what you said earlier?" Ernesto kept asking solemnly, looking for a way to find more information from Sebastian.

"Sigh! Calm down old man, I'll explain it to you "Sebastian sighed, then continued:" As you can see, the points at both ends of the borders are the tunnels that you have at your disposal. One is to the east of Casa Vieja about 25 kilometers and the other to the west about 45 kilometers. Both of them have a height and width of 1.5 meters and are interconnected by rails and mining carts for transport, is that right? "

"That's right, but this information is already known by Vicente and his men, after all, labor is needed to operate the two tunnels, and he is in charge of various matters for the Cartel so he already knows where they are," Ernesto commented seriously.

"Now explain to me, what do the little circles on the tunnel lines mean?" Ernesto asked, at this moment his face changed completely and an aura of extreme danger permeated the air.

"Hmph! Explain to you? Shouldn't you be the one to explain to me what happens with those places? " Sebastian gave a little snort as he continued to ask.

"First of all, where did you get those positions? This shouldn't be in anyone's hands" Ernesto replied.

"I already told you I have my ways, I just need you to trust me" Sebastian answered confidently.

"Sigh! ... Trust you? It's fine after all, you already know where the points are" Ernesto said as he continued: "Those places are the 3 security systems in each tunnel and only I was supposed to know about them. . If you flip a switch some of the sectors inside the tunnel would collapse, this is precisely why the Cartel can't do anything to me and the boss turns a blind eye on me, since I could simply destroy hundreds of millions in assets with a simple switch. "

"Umh? ... So this is why Vicente dares to go against the old man, he must have already found the switches inside the tunnel and a way to disable them," Sebastian said in a serious tone as he understood where the enemy's courage was coming from.

"Vicente knows? Did you steal the information from him?" Ernesto asked as he listened to the words of the man next to him.

"Umh ... that's right, I stole it a few days ago" Sebastian lied.

"This is a big problem, when did you say they should come for us?" Ernesto asked thoughtfully.

"At dawn in three days" Sebastian replied.

"Umh ... shit! That day will be when the Cartel moves a lot of products and therefore one of the busiest around here."

"Damn! the motherfucker has it well planned! " Ernesto exclaimed as he discovered something and prepared to explain it to Sebastian.

In three days it would be July 15, which would mark the middle of the month. During the beginning and the middle of each month, the Cortez Cartel would mobilize everything collected during the previous 15 days. Drugs, weapons, and people would pass through the two tunnels from the Latino area of ​​the border into the American area, and the money from the operations of the Cartel would flow down from the American area. These are the two most problematic days of the month since the entire area around the two tunnels would have to be secured.

Vicente would use all the distractions of that day to set a trap for Sebastian and Ernesto to finish them off. After all, knowing the location of the switches, he would only have to find a solution for them. The boss of the cartel would not say anything about the death of anyone since he would still have the tunnels and his operation running as usual, and Vicente would have shown him that he is a trustworthy person since he solved the problems cleanly for his own.

Damn! This idiot did have it well kept for himself "Ernesto roared angrily.

"What I don't understand is why Vicente would take so much trouble to annihilate us?" Sebastian wondered as he continued: "After all, the easiest and fastest way would be to eliminate us and then talk to the boss."

"That damn arrogant fool wants to put on a great scene to earn the respect of the Cartel, for that reason he is waiting for the day of the big delivery" Ernesto replied in an icy tone.

"Vicente should have been investigating the tunnels for a long time since it is not easy to find the switches, he must have used expert engineers for a long time, and they entered and left the tunnels without raising suspicions" Ernesto continued while finding even more clues: "To achieve this must have had free entry at the Latin end of the tunnel, this means that the boss wants to completely control the tunnels and that there are no loose ends! "

"Hmph!… So he has already decided to get rid of us!" Ernesto said as an icy look shone in his eyes.

"What?! So it's like this ... that's why there are so many suspicious people around the mansion and that Vicente was not afraid of dealing with the old man, this situation is even more dangerous than he thought "Sebastian replied in exasperation.

"That's right, but we still have a couple of options," Ernesto commented as he took the marker and marked 2 new points at the ends of the tunnels on the American side of the border.

"What are these?" Sebastian asked.

"Umh ... I should make use of that" Ernesto muttered as he marked one more piece of information on the map.

On the map, apart from the two points that he had previously marked, a new tunnel appeared 15 kilometers north of Casa Vieja. This was a new tunnel even longer than the previous two, which Sebastian was previously unaware of. Along the line he drew on the map, it was a tunnel that passed just below the town and went straight to the Latin side of the border.

It was a countermeasure that Ernesto had started to create 15 years ago. To live in this type of industry you had to be cunning and have several options and hidden aces to avoid death. And this was something that Ernesto knew very well.

"Shit! What is this? Are there more tunnels around town? " Sebastian asked.

"That's right, it's the success of 10 years of work between your father and me. We began to dig this tunnel a little after you were born, it was going to be a piece with which we would negotiate our exit from the Cartel, but just when we finished adapting it, your father was murdered. Due to this and because of how confusing the situation has been so far, I have not used the tunnel "

"My father and you made the tunnel? Damn old man! " Exclaimed Sebastian surprised

"That's how it is"

"The other two points that I just marked on the map are two external switches of the tunnels which have not been discovered yet." Ernesto said as he looked at Sebastian and continued: "These are the only options we have kid, we cannot trust anyone from this moment on as the boss of the Cartel may be involved in this"

"Now tell me kid !, What is the plan you have? I don't think you came here without any plan. "

"Sigh! After all, I can't hide anything old from you "Sebastian replied, then said:" The plan I had was to kill the way out, but with all the factors involved it will no longer be possible. In addition, we have a couple of additional assets with which we can move and trade "

Sebastian proceeded to plan together with the old man how they would survive this deadly situation. In the middle of the discussion, you could hear murmurs on both sides and some pronounced silences.

They discussed measures and countermeasures as they could not underestimate the cartel boss and Vicente's determination to want them dead.

Moments later a slightly more relaxed laugh could be heard outside the office.

"Hahaha! I knew it, kid, I told you, you couldn't fool me. "Ernesto laughed as his previously stressed mind relaxed a bit.

"Umh? … Will this be enough? " Sebastian asked while he was still thoughtful.

"Yes, it is. At least this is the best we could do "Ernesto said as he felt more relaxed. Then he continued. "Come, let's eat something and keep talking. If I were to die tomorrow I would like to die without regrets "

"I'll tell you what happened the day your parents died"
