Chapter 2

Gray watched in amazement as the gracious woman walked toward the front of the room. He could only hope that he didn’t look as dumbstruck as he felt. It was hard enough not to stare at her long, lithe body. She was at least five feet, eight inches tall. Being an admitted clothes horse himself, Grayson appreciated the elegant lines of her tailored silk shirt and matching trousers that could have come from a high-end fashion boutique. Maya was slender, without being thin. She looked athletic but had enough womanly curves to pique his interest—or at least that of his always-on-the-prowl dick. Within moments, her easy, authoritative presentation made it clear that this wasn’t the first briefing she’d led. Forcing himself to swallow the consternation roiling in his gut, Gray determined to at least hear her out. He owed Diamond, and, certainly Ian, that much. Knowing that there was a 50/50 chance, at best, that he would accept the mission, he put aside his budding anger at the way that Ian had blindsided him, and determined to give Doctor Taveras the courtesy of making her presentation.

At that moment, Maya clicked on the remote and the multiple monitor screens came to life. The stunningly handsome man whose face appeared on the screens looked more like a teenage heartthrob than a criminal. A shock of dark curly hair, dancing green eyes and a thousand-watt smile lit the screen. Gray wouldn’t have been surprised to see his face on a tabloid featuring the 20 Hottest Latinos. Gray shook his head in amazement as Maya began to describe the Hispanic man gracing the screens.

“Meet Dante Torres. In a few short years, Torres took over what was a San José street gang that controlled small pockets of the essj—the East Side of San José. Since he gained control of the Diablos, as they were called ten years ago, the organization has mutated into a major player in the worldwide illegal drug market. Now known as the Torres Cartel, the DEA, FBI and ICE estimate that as much fifty percent of the coke, heroin and now meth that is flowing into this country from South America, is doing so under the direction of this man.”

Flipping through a series of action shots showing Torres doing everything from surfing to skydiving, the Cartel leader with the infectious smile could have been an international playboy more easily than a drug lord. Maya anticipated Gray’s assessment with her analysis.

“It’s hard to intellectually process that someone as frankly wholesome-looking, not to mention handsome, could be the dangerous Cartel leader Torres has become. In truth, he hides his vocation well, taking on the trappings of a movie star or an international athlete. More than a few famous Hollywood types as well as international athletes, have been seen in his presence. His base is in Columbia, but he has homes—make that estates—in five different countries: Thailand, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, Brazil, and, of course, the good old U-S-of-A. While Torres rarely appears in this country, he flaunts his presence worldwide.
