“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Assassins from the Operativa Rockeros, an armed wing of the Cartel del Golfo, have captured a low-level Cartel del Noreste member.
They waste no time using a fixed-blade knife and strong-arm tactics to interrogate the enslaved man within their grasp.
The kneeling captive gives up every bit of information he knows while an enforcer slices into his back.
His testimony reveals the name of an unknown organized crime sector where drugs are being sold day and night near the Tamaulipas and Nuevo León state lines.
Captive: When I arrived my job was to get the supplies off of the truck and help out the young men. Once I got off of the vehicle Mr. H told me that I would be staying here with them. And that I’d have to follow the orders El Tigre gave because he was in charge of the area of operations: Chester.
Sicario #1: Uh huh. So, what else?
Captive: After this I consumed cocaine all night long so that I wouldn’t fall asleep. This was done on account of the fact that every one of their drug points operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Once the sun came out we moved towards the hills…
Sicario #1: Tell me about their Improvised Armored Fighting Vehicles (IAFVs).
Captive: I honestly don’t know anything about those IAFVs.
Sicario #2: How are you not going to know anything you fuck.
Captive: The only thing I do know is that…
Sicario #2 speaks to his counterpart: Go head and let him go. I’ll hold him for you.
Captive: They’re always in the same vehicles working 24-7. Every time the guy in charge comes to one of the drug points. He pulls surveillance with a drone to ensure that no one comes into the area.
Sicario #1: What do they call the drone operator?
Captive: Just the same it’s Mr. H.
Sicario #2: How many drones does he have?
Captive: He has 4 of them in the back of the truck.
Sicario #2: Are they small or large drones?
Captive: They’re large.
Sicario #1: Are the drones armed?
Captive: No. They only use them for surveillance. If anyone tries coming near, whether it be the government, national guardsmen, or civilians, it helps them to get away in advance.
Sicario 2: Go ahead and lick the blood off of my blade you faggot. Mmm. Are you hungry or what?
Sicario #1: Babygirl, go ahead and paint your lips with your blood. Ok, now tell us more…
