The Last Mission

We went back to where the first truck crashed and gathered the rest of the drugs. Eddie then finally drove the truck to the safe house and parked it there. I also saw another truck there which is the one Eddie drove to the safe house from the harbor. I opened the two trucks and saw the quantity of the things that we retrieved. "That's one hell of drugs. There might be more when those water melons are crushed, and the main drugs taken out", I said. "Take Jack to the doctor. Tell Von Ruiz that his drugs have been secured. I'll see you guys later". "Where are you going? Why aren't you coming?", Jack asked. "There are lots of things going on in my head right now. I need to rest and calm my head down. I've seen enough today", I replied. "Whatever reply Von Ruiz gives, call me and tell me. I'm very sure he won't be giving us penny for this job. We should be grateful the cops didn't show up at least". I grabbed my hand guns and walked out of the warehouse. I stopped a taxi and it took me to my home. I took shower, prepared breakfast for myself and burnt the clothes I used for the job. As I watched the fire that burnt those clothes, the words of Eric came back into my mind. "Your brother was a good lad, but he mingled with the wrong people alongside Von Ruiz. I killed him myself", I screamed and scattered everything around me as I remembered those words. All these while, I have been seeing and working for the same man that killed my brother. I'm very sure he will do the same to me if he should find out I'm working for Mr. Zhang as well. Von Ruiz, Mr. Zhang, Bronxx, Edward and Mr. Gante. These men are made of money and they all have the same thing between them; the willingness to take out anybody that comes in their way or threatens their source of money. They'll do anything to get what they want. Bronxx and his son Edward have been taken out of the equation now leaving me with Von Ruiz and Mr. Gante. Mr. Zhang doesn't look like a threat to me. He's just a regular business man protecting his things from his enemies. As I thought about my life and the people I have been hunting as well as those I have been hunting for, I never realized that my phone has been ringing for a long time. I finally came back to reality and picked up my phone and checked who the person calling me was. It was unexpected, but it was Mr. Zhang. I wasn't really in the mood to see or do anything for anybody after all I've been through lately, but I was determined to end everything going on in my life, so I answered the call. "Henry, I have been calling you since yesterday, but your number wasn't going through", Mr. Zhang said. "Yeah, I have been busy with some jobs", I replied. "It's the drug delivery, right?", Mr. Zhang asked. "How did you know about it?", I asked sounding surprised. "Your boss told me. Don't forget that we're business partners", Mr. Zhang said. "Mr. Gante is back in town after several weeks of hiding. He's the one that abducted my daughter, and this is my one big opportunity to repay him for all he has done to me". "What do you want me to do?", I asked. "You know Mr. Gante runs a drug business in Cuba. I don't know how but he somehow, he manages to move those drugs into Mexico and United States and then sell them. But after what I did to his warehouse, he hasn't been doing much in the States. Those drugs are worth millions of dollars. I want you to seize them for me. And if you happen to come across Mr. Gante which of course you will, do me a favor and make sure the fool breathes his last. He is currently in Cuba as I speak", Mr. Zhang said. "So, you're saying I will be going to Cuba", I asked "Exactly but don't worry about how you'll get there. I have arranged a ship that will take you to the borders of that island". "When am I supposed to go for this trip?", I asked. "Tomorrow evening, come to my place. My assistant will take you to the ship. More equipment will be given to you for this mission", Mr. Zhang said. "The end of this job will mark the end of my business with you", I said. "Agreed!", Mr. Zhang replied immediately. "You have done more for me than anybody else. I will reward you for all you have done for me", Mr. Zhang said. I ended the call and dropped my phone on the table and took a deep breathe. The next day, I prepared myself for this final mission I'm about to do for Mr. Zhang. I checked my cell phone and saw a text message from Wendy. I opened the text message and it read "Where have you been? I have been calling you. I just hope you're alright. I want to tell you that Jessica has woken up and she's fine. I hope to see you soon. I love you". I smiled as I read the text and the thought of seeing Wendy again after 2 weeks of being away from her began to cloud my mind. I called Jack to know how he's doing. After few rings, he finally answered the call. "Hey man, where are you?", Jack asked. "I have a job to do so I won't be seeing you anytime soon", I replied. "What's the job all about?", Jack asked. "It's for someone. I'll be going to Cuba. It will just be for a few days and I'll be back. I have unfinished business here in Atlanta as well. So, don't be afraid I'm not running away", I said. "Whatever it is man just stay safe okay and thanks for saving me. I really appreciate it", Jack said. "It's just nothing. What are friends for? Please while I'm away take care of Wendy", I said. "She's in safe hands", Jack replied. I ended the call and packed few stuffs I'll be needing for this mission including rifles, grenades and ammo. I left my house, stopped a cab and told the driver to take me to Mr. Zhang's mansion. The taxi stopped at the gate of Mr. Zhang's mansion. I paid the driver and walked to the gate. I identified myself to the security man and he let me inside. I walked inside the compound and saw Mr. Zhang and his assistant waiting for me. I walked to Mr. Zhang and greeted him, and he looked very happy to see me. The assistant gave me a bullet proof vest and a military camouflage uniform that I will wear. "My assistant will drive you to the ferry that will be taking you. Remember, complete the job and get out of Cuba", Mr. Zhang said. I followed the assistant to a car and he drove out. We continued going until we stopped at the harbor. I entered the ferry that was waiting for me and it left the harbor immediately I got in. It took the ferry 2 days to reach the shores of Cuba. I changed into my military camouflage uniform, wore the bullet proof vest, equipped myself with a silenced M-16 rifle and some extra ammo. I dived inside the deep sea and swam to the shore of the Island with my head above water. I reached the country's harbor and climbed inside. The harbor was heavily secured and getting out looked difficult. I made sure not to kill anybody and to achieve this, I need to be smart and careful. I saw one of the security men on duty seated on a chair, sleeping. I walked quietly to him, tapped him to see if he's really sleeping or dead. I tapped him twice before he finally woke up. I knocked him unconscious with the head of my gun before he could say anything that will alert the other security men. I took out his security uniform and tried putting it on. After a long time of struggling with the clothes I finally put it on. I picked up his identification card and his personal keycard. I walked to the gate of the harbor, but I was stopped by a security man. "Where are you going to? Aren't you on duty today?", He asked pointing his bright torchlight towards me. "I'm hungry. I just want to get something to eat outside", I replied turning my face away. "Do that fast or you won't be getting paid this month", He shouted. "Yes sir", I replied and walked out quickly. I walked far from the harbor with no exact clue where I was going. I stopped somewhere dark and removed the security uniform. I took out the parts of my rifle and assembled them again. I scattered it to prevent being caught because the security at the harbor only carry hand guns and not rifles. I received a text message from Mr. Zhang's assistant and it read. "Someone on the inside placed a tracker on Mr. Gante's car. I'm sending the coordinates to you shortly". After few minutes a 3D map of Cuba appeared on my phone screen with a red blinking dot somewhere in Havana. "I'm coming for you", I said to myself and continued moving.
