Prologue
2008; Somewhere deep in the Amazon
Steve had been around the world, to countries most Americans didn't know existed, more times that he could count. As a Navy SEAL he often saw the worst of mankind, but he never gave up hope that he would find better somewhere, or that what he was doing was the right thing to do. He knew in his gut that no matter how many lives he took to complete his mission it was the right thing to do. He was stopping bad people from making the world into a worse piss pot than it was. Not that he thought the whole world was a piss pot. No, he knew there were places out there that weren't perfect, but were far better places to be than most of the countries he had spent the last several years in. In fact, at the end of this mission he would be allowed to take a two week leave to head back home, to one of the few places he had been that didn't feel as if it had been tainted by corruption, greed, and all the worst of man kinds sins. All he had to do to get back to paradise was to make it through the jungle, capture his target, and make it back to the pick up point.
It should be a piece of cake.
Well, about as much of a piece of cake as any SEAL mission was.
Steve slowly brushed aside an oversize leaf, carefully taking note of the guards below as they moved out of sight. Never taking his eyes off where they had gone, or where the next team should be coming from, Steve signaled his men to advance. They had barely three minutes before the next team of guards walked by and they needed to get over the security fencing and into the compound before then, without setting off any hidden security traps. Not an easy manner for seven large men to do silently. But Steve trusted his team to get in without notice. They were the best after all.
They moved through the underbrush with great care, hardly a sound made, or track left to prove they had even been there. They were trained to be ghosts.
Getting past the first set of guards proved to be fairly easy. Jorgeson and Cavana were able to get the guards in sleeper holds and slip a blade between their ribs. None of the guards made a sound as their lives slipped away and their bodies were dragged into blind spots. The next set of guards went down as smoothly as the first, and Steve began to feel confident that they were going to be able to take down the supposed bruja in charge of the cartel, without any loss of life on his teams part.
It was that confidence that should have told him things were about to go FUBAR.
