Chapter 18

Taste of Insanity

For the next few days, the fellas stayed close to Paco and the members of the Hernandez Cartel. Being that they moved around with them, none of the other prisoners bothered them. Brad, Swag, Tyler, and Travis explained to Paco and his crew their situation in Brazil, but Paco’s story was way different.

Paco and his crew came to Brazil to have a vacation with no Hernandez Cartel business and no drama, period. Everything was going good, until Paco was at one of Brazil’s hottest night spots, talking to a Brazilian firecracker. She was one of the many mistresses of a Vietnamese crime boss, and the night ended up in a blood bath, leaving eight murdered. After that incident, the Hernandez Cartel members were going through all kinds of hell, with the media saying that it was a war between them and the Vietnamese crime family.

Paco’s father, Paco Hernandez Sr., and his lawyer were doing everything they could to get Paco and his team out and back on the streets of Texas. Paco even offered to help the fellas out if they agreed to accompany him and his people back to Houston to work with the Hernandez Cartel as their debt. To Swag, Tyler, and Travis, if they had a good chance to get out of that filthy hellhole, they were on board.

The main thing on Brad’s mind was his freedom, but Brad for damn sure wanted to make sure Diamond had her freedom too. He couldn’t understand why he was falling so hard for a woman he barely knew. Maybe he could save her too, and to keep his boys and Paco’s gang off his back, he agreed to be a part of the Hernandez Cartel if they were released.

The cell door opened, and the guard put in one more inmate. Everyone turned to see the fresh meat, but Brad and the fellas knew it was Stan.

Stan looked a god awful mess. His face had many scabs on it. His eyes were puffy, and his teeth were yellow. His hair was matted and nappy. He wore a prison uniform that looked way too baggy on him, and with his head down, he kept fidgeting.

Paco looked at Stan, then at Brad and the fellas.

“Do you all know that crackhead?”

The fellas could look at Stan and tell his mind was gone. They couldn’t afford to have him tag along if they were in Paco’s gang, and they didn’t want to lose that connection, because that gave them a good chance of getting out of Brazil.

“Hell, naw, we don’t know that fool!” Swag spat.

Brad looked at his cousin, who had no emotion on his face. He knew Swag was a cutthroat kind of dude who would throw his own sons to the wolves in a minute to save himself. Stan meant nothing to him, nor did he mean much to the others, who were looking for a way out.

About twelve men went up to Stan, shoving him around like he was a common prison bitch.
