She gave him a firm stare. "You just be sure to believe that, Ricky. I mean to your core."
She touched her heart. "Luckily, if you're right about the location of most of its vics, it'll have more tempting prey."
Ricky started the vehicle up and they went on their way to one of the districts near the edge of the city. The area was Nuevo Leon territory and you definitely could see the difference. While it wasn't any cleaner or safer appearing, there were less people out.
They passed numerous men in guns and he amended her thought. Less regular people this is. The men were hard eyed and held their weapons competently.
Made sense. Cartel wars would do that. Weed out anyone who wasn't keen on living, quick on the draw, and mean enough to do what they had to to make money. In some ways she understood it. But what she did wasn't merely to enrich herself- as if! Nah. This was humanity's war and she was a soldier. That made all the difference in the world.
The men looked them over as they drove and they were stopped a few times. Ricky was good with their cover though- an adventurous couple out heading to the brothel in order to have a 'party' with a few of the girls- and was generous with the bribes. Though there were a couple times when she was looked over like maybe the men wanted to join in the party, and she kept a her arms and hands free so she could get to her hidden gun if she needed to.
That was all they needed. She wasn't worried about these guys, not really. But her blowing their heads or sacks off would bring every other asshole in the area to their location and would blow their hunt. That would piss her off.
Finally, they made it through and pulled up to what had to be the place. It looked like an old walled villa that used to have a nice view of the country side off in the distance, where Ricky said the caves were. Surprisingly, it was well cared for, though, and the grounds were manicured. Pretty on the outside. For the most part.
They got out and she stood there, looking around, trying to get a feel for the place. Next to the villa looked like a cantina. Other buildings housing businesses and homes filled out the rest of the area.
There were a couple men outside the doors of the place. It was still light out and they needed more intel. Talk to a few of the locals. "What's say we hit up the cantina? See what we see?"
