简介:A unemployed family man desperate for work agrees to takes a job offered by a friend. What should have been smooth sailing on the first day of his job turns into a nightmare. Now he must fight for his and his family's life. Things will never be same....
  It seemed like I had been driving for hours along a narrow highway stretch.  There was nothing but cactus, desert brush and the hot sun along the way.  Sylvia’s description of the landmarks were accurate and apparently got me this far.  I am not sure I could have noted the features of the landscape as well as she did and turned it into directions.
  I finally got to a point where I was to turn off on an unpaved road per Sylvia’s directions.  How was I to find an unpaved stretch of road along this endless highway was the question I kept asking?  Sylvia’s directions said once you see a large rock with a hole in it and then turn left onto the unpaved road.  I got frustrated thinking how big of a fucking rock I am supposed to look for.  As my frustration level began to rise I couldn’t think clearly and just got angrier at everything.
  I was not sure if I was driving in the right direction or if I should turn my car around and go back because I had missed the damn rock.  I kept thinking that I had come this far and done things no one could even dream of, only to get lost on some stupid desert road.  Part of me was thinking I should just pull over onto the side of the road and lay down to die since I did not know where I was at this point.
  Just then a glint of light caught my eye in the distance.  I tried to make out what it was, but I was too far to be sure.  I sped up to get there quicker.  Shit as sure enough it was the sunlight coming through a rock with a hole in it.  A great sense of relief came over me.  I found the rock Sylvia was talking about.
  That relief was short lived as I knew what lied ahead.  I stopped the car right in front of the dirt road and pondered for a minute.  During that time I tried to remember all the good things in my life.  My wife, my son, and the happy times we had together.  I sat longer than I should have thinking about it all.  I had to snap myself out of the daydream and get back to reality.  The path I had taken will prevent me from seeing much happiness in the future, but it’s too late for regrets now.  I can’t stop until Valdero and the threat that he poses is ended.  Maybe I will be buried and dead six feet under but I will be sure to take Valdero with me in order to keep my family safe.  It was time.
  After driving another 2 miles down that dirt road I could see a couple of buildings far off in the distance.  The sun was starting to get lower in the sky easing the heat a bit.  I knew had to wait until it was darker before going in.  I drove the car off the road and parked behind some brush that gave me cover while I waited.  Before I knew, it I ended up dozing off.
  After an hour I was awoken abruptly by the sound of gunfire.  My first thought was that I had been discovered.  But then I realized something was going on in Valdero’s compound.  I could not see what was going on, but figured now was the time to get this underway no matter the outcome be good or bad.
  Under cover of darkness I set out to find a location to seek cover in.  I found a good spot that gave me view of an entry gate at the front of the compound.   I set up my gear and went back to the car.  The good thing about driving a hitman’s car is that there will always be useful tools present or it will make a useful tool.  I got the car pointed in the direction of the front gate of the compound, tied off the steering wheel and dropped a rock on the accelerator.  The car roared off towards the gate and I ran back to my gear.  The car had some distance to travel before it reached the gate and it did veer a bit from the center.  But nonetheless it had the desired effect.
  The car had gathered enough speed and was of enough heft that it hit the right gate post breaking it and then spun around causing the right side of the gate to fall.  That was the opening I needed.  Four guards with weapons drawn came running out to examine the car.
  Two of the guards fell quick as I picked them off.  A third guard was hit in the leg as he was trying to duck for cover.  He fell short of getting behind the car giving me a chance to fire a second round at him which had its finishing effect.
  The fourth guard ran behind the fence and out of my line of sight.  From my vantage point I could see the main part of the house and what appeared to be a separate building in the back that looked like a barn.  I fired off the remaining bullets in the magazine indiscriminately into the house so as to cause some chaos.  I swapped magazines and fired some more rounds at the barn knocking out some lights in the process.
