Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1048 - 982: I Want Justice
The director of the Border Control Bureau is named Michael Raine...
The recent situations in Laredo City have put enormous pressure on Director Raine!
The 'Bangkok Group' attached to the FBI is stationed in the refugee management area of the Border Control Bureau, starting to collect testimony and evidence from the rescued hostages there.
Raine has a premonition that the deal on smuggling people and contraband with Los Zetas on his side will soon be uncovered.
Since the kidnapping at the Laredo Police Station, Raine has been making calls incessantly, but the responses he received were mostly indifferent, and occasionally those close to him would sternly warn him.
Raine realized that he probably wouldn't get through this time. After finishing a day's work in the evening, he drove back to his home in the Laredo North District…
However, the moment he got out of the car, his professional instincts sensed something was off… 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
His son and daughter, who usually came out to greet him as he drove up the driveway, were nowhere to be seen. Although the lights in the house were on, his wife, who should have been at the kitchen stove, was absent — only a pot of thick soup steaming away indicated that someone should be home.
Raine pulled out his gun, quickly chambered a round, then gently pushed open the car door, quickly got out, and circled around to the back of the house, prepared to enter through the back to investigate.
But upon entering the house, he unexpectedly found his wife and children in the living room chatting and laughing with two men…
When Raine's wife noticed him, he instinctively hid his gun behind his back and forced a stiff smile. As he embraced his wife who came to greet him, he locked eyes with the two men seated on the living room sofa and asked, "Who are they?"
His wife replied, with a strange look in her eyes, "Honey, they say they're your colleagues…"
Raine realized that these visitors were likely connected to the recent events, so he nodded with a grim expression and told his wife, "The soup you're cooking in the kitchen should be done. Have the kids go upstairs, I need to talk with them…"
As he spoke, Raine moved to the meeting room. He watched his twelve-year-old son and daughter holding the latest tablet computers, giggling and playing. He said sternly, "Billy, take your sister upstairs…"
The twelve-year-old boy complained reluctantly, "Oh, Dad, let me play a little longer. Julian is teaching me how to use social media, and a Mexican girl just said hi to me."
Raine glanced at the young man sitting quietly on the sofa with a shy smile on his handsome face. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Raine said in a deep voice, "I said, go upstairs now…"
Seeing his father angry, the boy reluctantly grabbed his sister's hand. Just as they were about to leave, Mountain Eagle, who had been sitting with his back to Raine, stopped them and then turned to Raine, saying, "Why let them leave?
Children should learn more about their father…"
Saying this, Mountain Eagle ruffled Billy's hair and said, "You know, your dad lets tens of thousands of Mexican refugees into the United States every year…"
Billy, having grown up during the Obama era, shrugged and said, "What's wrong with that? I heard Mexico is terrible. If those people can find jobs in the United States, why not?"
Mountain Eagle nodding smilingly said, "That is a good thing, so I'm here to commend your dad...
Because not only does he allow tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in every year, he also picks out the prettiest boys and girls among them to sell to those who want them.
Many of those kids are around your age…"
Saying this, Mountain Eagle then looked back at Raine, who was trying to draw his gun. He raised the pistol in his right hand, smiling, saying, "Raine, you should have recognized me by now, and you know what I do, so don't act rashly, because you definitely won't be faster than me…"
Raine's forehead began to sweat. He looked at his two children and the gun in Mountain Eagle's hand. Dejected, he drew the gun from his waist and placed it slowly on the side entrance, spreading his hands, "Mountain Eagle, you're a Homeland Security consultant; you can't act recklessly!
I'm cooperating with the 'Bangkok Group's' work. If there's any misunderstanding between us, we can sit down and talk it through.
Let my wife and kids leave here, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
An alliance of interests lacks any real loyalty. They only weigh pros and cons within the system because the law provides room for negotiation. Whether or not they betray their allies depends on their personal judgment.
If keeping secrets can gain more, they will keep the secrets for their allies!
However, this usually fails when faced with pure violence…
And at this moment, Mountain Eagle represented pure violence!
Because he doesn't 'exist' at all, he should now be at the Laredo Police Station, where nearly a hundred police hostages can testify!
Raine evidently understood this point, which is why he appeared so tense…
Bad people are not stingy in maliciously speculating about others. When Mountain Eagle decided to show up in front of his family, he determined that if he couldn't provide what Mountain Eagle wanted, his family might be doomed.
In a two-to-one situation, fighting was definitely out of the question. With his already large belly, Raine sensibly chose to lay down his weapon, trying to play the emotional card with Mountain Eagle and use his role as a Homeland Security consultant to restrain him from acting out.
Unfortunately, Mountain Eagle wasn't buying it at all. He had brought the group of crazy madmen with Julian and wasn't planning on a peaceful resolution.
Seeing Raine put down the weapon, Mountain Eagle ruffled the head of the boy Billy, who was already dumbfounded, and said, "Your father is an impressive butcher. Every year he collaborates with Los Zetas to send hundreds or even thousands of kids like you to a group of crazy perverts.
Have you seen B-movies? There are many perverts in them who like kids, and they'll hurt children around your age…
Your dad made a lot of money. The private school you attend, your autographed jerseys, and your mom's expensive jewelry, all were bought with that money.
Your dad is awesome; he takes good care of you…"
Billy, having grown up in a liberal environment, listening to Mountain Eagle's description, looked at his father in disbelief and shouted angrily, "Is all this true?
Why did you do it?"
At this point, Raine was on the verge of collapse. Seeing his son's angry face and his daughter's puzzlement, he couldn't bother explaining to his son but pleaded with Mountain Eagle, "What do you actually want?"
Mountain Eagle pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, took a deep drag, glanced at Mrs. Raine, who had her mouth covered by Julian, and then smilingly took out his mobile phone, opened the camera mode, and said, "I want justice!
I want the customer list you've accumulated over the years...
Don't tell me you don't have it; otherwise, you'll be of no use!"
Pointing at Julian, Mountain Eagle, with a smile, said: "Do you know who he is?
His name is Julian, a chef, but he likes to use human bodies as materials for his dishes...
I brought you a gift when I came here, and I will prepare a grand feast for you...
You can invite your family to join, or you can transfer all your money to an account I specify, and I'll arrange for them to be sent to El Salvador.
I can't guarantee a wealthy life, but I can ensure their safety in El Salvador!
How about it? Do we have a deal?"
