Chapter 31

Mexico City, Mexico

Godoy shivered as he came to on the cold cement floor of a darkened room. His head swam as he sat up, and his body felt like he’d been thrown down a flight of stairs. The last thing he remembered was being grabbed at Leticia’s apartment, and the rest was a haze. He reached to his right arm and felt a sore spot, and then squinted at where a small trickle of blood had dried on his dress shirt. He rolled up the sleeve and spotted the culprit: a dot where he’d been injected with something.

He tried to stand but only succeeded in slipping back to the floor, his legs refusing to obey his mind’s commands, and kicked an empty metal pail by his legs in the process. He winced at the noise, everything amplified, no doubt from the after-effects of the drugs his assailants had shot him up with.

The only door in the room opened and three men entered. Two of them hoisted Godoy onto a chair as the third sauntered behind them, his body language that of a man in no hurry. The third man stood in front of Godoy, staring down at him, and then turned to one of the pair.

“Turn on the lights,” he ordered, and the man on Godoy’s right rushed to comply.

The room illuminated, and Godoy grimaced and closed his eyes. The pain the light caused was excruciating, but the agony from the hard backhanded slap that came next eclipsed it.

“Open your eyes,” the third man said.

Godoy forced himself to comply, his eyes slits. The man’s face came into focus, and Godoy’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that face. The man was a cartel boss – but which one eluded him.

“I see you recognize me,” the man said. “Which tells me that you’re a greater fool than I would have guessed. You knew she’s my girlfriend, and you still did it. I should grind you into hamburger and feed you to the dogs.”

A name sprang to mind: Luis Hierro, the Mexico City head of the Gulf Cartel, now dissolved after a brutal territory war with Los Zetas.

“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Godoy protested, his stomach twisting in a knot at the sudden revelation.

“Leticia didn’t tell you?” Hierro barked, and then laughed. “Then the joke’s on you. She’s my main squeeze. And you’ve been dishonoring me by screwing her, you shit grub.”

“I…had no…idea…”

“That figures. She may be gorgeous, but she’s got the morals of an alley cat, and she’s greedy. Let me guess – you been paying for it?”

Godoy tried to shake his head, but the pain from the effort was too much. “Just gifts. And help with the rent.”

Another laugh. “That’s funny, considering I own the apartment and she stays for free. How much did she clip you for?”

“Ten thousand pesos a month.”

Hierro grinned, and the effect was chilling. “That’s not bad for tagging one that looks like her. Especially for a troll like you. Of course, now it’s going to get a lot more expensive.
