El Tiempo Casino

I sat by her side for a few hours, kissing her hands and stroking her hair.

I slowly said, "I know it's been nearly 7 years since I last visited here, and I'm very sorry for neglecting you in this way.

"I have to keep my word and seek vengeance for our misfortune Mama".

"Just be patient Mama,

I'll make good on my word to exact revenge on that imbecile.

I gave her one more kiss on the forehead and lastly spoke.

"Always know that I love and miss you with all my heart" with that I walked away.

I saw the doctor talking to the blonde nurse, but I was too upset to approach him.

Instead, I waved at him and quickly left the building.

As I had anticipated, seeing my mother brought up the emotions I had buried deep within me.

When I saw Zee, dressed casually in a blue shirt and black jeans, standing next to his black Jeep, I attempted to collect myself.

As he opened the door for me, I pondered how he was aware of my whereabouts but I dared not inquire.

He asked where to after a brief period of silence, and I pointed him in the direction of the coast.

I had been missing the cool, crisp sea breeze.

It provided some solace and calm throughout these awful years.

Nevertheless, I was grateful for Zee's presence at this particular time.

Walking closer to the shore, I gave a sad smile preparing mentally to pay respects to my Dad and Uncle.

" Hi dad"

" Hi, Uncle Joe," I murmured in a broken voice.

"I know it's been years since I last came here and I'm so sorry for neglecting you this way.

I can't promise but I'll try as much as I can to visit and always know that I love you" I said with tears spilling."

I stood there staring at the waves for what felt like an eternity.

Zee finally cleared his throat and I knew it was a sign we had to leave.

We arrived at the camp in deafening silence.

Turning to assess the Soldiers at the camp, I spotted General White seated on a huge rock just before the entrance.

He quickly stood as he spotted us.

We saluted as he simply nodded.

"Fuego" he called out to me

"Yes sir", I retorted.

"Hope your injuries are getting better," he asked concerned.

" Affirmative sir".

"Good" he muttered with a nod.

" I guess you're both wondering my purpose for being here today" he inquired as we gave a tad nod.

"Our men have confirmed that drug dealing will take place at the El Tiempo Casino 72 hours from now after Diablo was spotted in the area today".

" Get ready," he said.

"I'm certain this may be our last opportunity to finally defeat them."

Hours Later.

Zee and Vee have been at the El Tiempo Casino for the past 34 hours in preparation for the mission.

Inside the stripper's room, I'm seated while getting ready.

I was staring directly into my reflection after peeling off the silicon half-face mask.

Since Zee, Vee, and I are operating on a private assignment, I'm not concerned about revealing my identity.

I asked that this mission be dealt with confidentially to General White if I was going to go reveal my identity.

I curled my short black hair and put on some black smoky makeup, which made me look more stunning than ever.

I readied by ultimately changing into my red lace lingerie.

Vee and Zee were monitoring everything coming out of the casino from the front entrance to the back whilst they were both dressed as waiters.

The person in charge of the security cameras was Vee, my newest comrade.

El Tiempo Casino is one of the most famous Casino's in the city with it's elegance.

From the restaurant to the spa, the casino was enormous and gorgeous, but the gambling floor was by far its most remarkable feature.

Thousands of guests spent millions merely to have a good time there.

Everything was flawless, and "Diablo" was the only devil we were dying to see fall tonight.

At precisely 10:15 p.m., Diablo's men entered the building clad in dark suits and equipped with firearms to secure the area.

At that point, he arrived wearing a white tuxedo.

He had a clean shave, and his hair was properly combed backward.

In addition, I noticed that he walked with a walking stick and a wicked grin crept across my face.

Making himself comfortable on one of the chairs available he waved at a waiter probably in his mid-twenties, tall, black hair with handsome features I observed from my phone screen.

Diablo was fierce and dangerous.

Everyone knew what he was capable of.

The trivial mistake you make and he puts a bullet straight into your head.

The waiter was reluctant before he took a step forward.

Zee standing by the waiter's viewpoint whispered something to him as he moved swiftly to attend to Diablo instead.

As he walked towards him, a small camera bug in his left pocket viewed his encirclement.

ZEE'S POV

I was furious because I knew Diablo was capable of making that poor chap suffer his wrath, and when he gave me instructions, I executed what I had to do.

I started working after getting a bottle of whisky.

I returned holding a whiskey glass on my serving tray.

I gave him a drink and left.

I stopped abruptly in my tracks as I heard him say, "Stop."

I turned to glance at him.

I kept my face expressionless as he motioned for me to get closer.

I was aware that there was a camera in my shirt pocket that was recording everything, and Vee and Fuego are now on guard.

There will be chaos if one wrong move is made. If he vents his anger, hundreds of lives might be in danger.

As he drew nearer, he made a bending motion with his fingers, and I bowed my knees to his level while maintaining as much serenity as I could.

He reached inside my pocket as I was doing so.

At first, I assumed we had been found, but when I looked down I saw a dollar bill neatly folded in my pocket.

I immediately feel relieved inside. I said " Thank You" to him and walked away.

I quickly checked that there was privacy before rushing to the restroom.

I put on my earbuds and contacted Vee straightaway.

" Do you copy Vee" I called out.

"Yes Copy" his response came.

"That was very close, for a moment I thought our cover was blown".

"Yes, very close Zee" he replied as we continued to focus on our next plan.

A few minutes later I heard Vee screech in shock.

"OMG! you wouldn't believe who's here to meet Diablo at the casino right now" he revealed.

" Who? " I asked getting anxious.

"Lee" came his short reply and I could swear I felt hot

steam evaporating from my ears.

Anger filled my heart recalling his betrayal.

This isn't good but we're lucky to have seen him sooner than later.

"Let's get in touch with Fuego and let her know what's going on now" I commanded.

Ren's POV

"Do you copy Fuego? " Vee called out as I stood in my room scanning everything transpiring on my screen.

"Yes, copy" I replied.

"We have a little bit of an issue" he spoke in a worried tone.

"Lee is in the casino right now to meet Diablo".

"Copy" I responded calmly.

"Lee, Zee"I called out.

"Yes, Fuego" I heard the response come in.

"We're taking them down tonight and there's no backing out so trust me and continue with what we've planned out" I ordered my comrades.

"At exactly 180 seconds from now, I'll be out on stage so it's your turn to cover me as I make my first move".

"Copy" they replied and with that, we cut contact.

I've been keeping an eye on Diablo and his men since the second they walked in.

Even when Zee took his orders I watched him closely grabbing onto my gun ready to walk out to protect if needed.

For a moment I thought we'd been discovered but seeing Zee walk away changed my assumption as I put the gun away.

As Lee entered the casino and made his way toward Diablo and his men, I grinned because I knew this evening would be eventful.
