Huntsfield, TX

This one f ls di erent.
I usua y find him alone, destitute, no family, no fortune, but never this angry…

What has ha ened to this place?

The cash!

Federales?

north of the border?! impo ible!

Man has dried this world up.

Sicario? Did those fucking Sabuesos set us up?!

A I know is it was huge!

Their gr d has consumed them. Made the land ba en.

Where is it?!

Not like before.

Forget it!

There! Wait! Almost... What a pathetic
luck…
a deserve to rot in HE .
species. What
They
The boy agr s!
I
like it.
I can f l the boy's anger growing.

They have b n given so much.

Hey what are you doing?! You can’t just--

Kinda reminds me of back home.

T much...

Why are humans so determined to destroy themselves?

At least what I can remember...

Their prosperity has poisoned their minds.

Out of my way!

Hope is dead. Turned their hearts cynical... Go! Go! Go! He he he! Redemption never came. They expected salvation.
did I... Where is she?!
So
where is ingrid ka o ?!
the he did you get in here?!
come on, don’t do that.
How
Oh,

L k kid, I don’t know how you got on here, but if you don’t want a bu et betw n your eyes, I su est you sit down and shut up!

if you do that, he’s go a come back and he’s t big. You think I won’t sh t a kid?!

I know they gave her to YOU!

I know the Fuegos t k her, and I know they gave her to the Arcos. That’s you right?

it’d be suicide. just te me what I want to know.

I’ve forgo en how quickly the minds of men can warp.

Easy kid! Stay back!

Each time more a ogant and zealous in their recycled ideologies.

Where’s my mother!

So y, kid.
the image-bearers are losing their minds.

Federal Task Force Unit-Counter Terrorism

We got a mi ing cartel informant, presumed dead.

We got a hotel containing an Arcos safehouse blown to smither ns. Co ect. Alright, Shack, go over it again with me.

We got eight bodies here, a heavily armed, and another decapitated one out by the airstrip.

Co ect. The evidence is... e atic. Some of this is arti ery, but we’re having trouble determining what kind. Two park rangers have l ked at the bodies. Some of the injuries resemble a cougar or a bear a ack.

Thr safehouses hit within a w k. A north of the border. Co ect, but this is the first one tied to the Arcos Narcos. Are the factions going to war?

Co ect. Carlos Ba era.

This isn’t a war, this is just reshu ling the deck. The Sabueso factions are already discu ing a truce.

Agent Davies, I’d like to introduce you to our new DEA counterpart,

o icer Evere Fo is.

O icer Fo is, this is my partner, Special Agent Olivia Davies. Heard a lot about you, Agent Davies. Welcome to the team.

Likewise. You rea y think there’s going to be a truce?! I gue even gangs get tired of ki ing eventua y.

Not this time. Just t much money on the table...

How can you be so sure? We a have our sources. Not clear yet who’s ru ing the Sabuesos, but the Arcos, Fuegos, and Alphas are in. Tampico faction is pending, but they’re sma potatoes compared to the other four.

Why would everyone start singing kumbaya together right after a coup?

Then we’ve got the plane… inte igence says it blew up at 3,000 f t just a few minutes after takeo . private charter. the owner and pilot were hijacked right after things went sideways at the hotel.

Truce or no truce, bl d is being shed north of the border. it’s the whole reason senator fly wanted this task force.

Could that be our C.I.?

The pilot’s description matches Ba era.

the cartels are ge ing more violent and brazen.

it would explain why we haven’t heard from him.

Someone’s here!

L k out! Oh Shit! Co and Post! We’ve got a ye ow SUV heading north from the hangars! I n d a available units!

The plane blew up over the town! They can’t put ye ow tape around the whole thing!

Step

Relax. This isn’t my first rodeo. Neither is it for my men.

Next time make the crime scene big enough to cover the actual damn crime! on it!
