Chapter 1: Dead Deal

Crockett barged into the OCB, swinging the door open and almost hitting Zito in the face standing near the door. He clearly wasn't happy with what had gone down back at

the pier. Tubbs followed suite, trying to consolidate Sonny and calm him down. "Hey listen man, it didn't go as planned. So what? We still have the witness to testify against

him in court man!"

"It's not that Tubbs, don't you see? We get Ortez and we are this close, THIS CLOSE to nailing him…and then one of his men gets a tip from some lunatic, and it's all over. Just like that. And the witness, if he kills her? You really think witness protection is going to do anything?"

Tubbs sat down with a sigh. Once Crockett went off, he knew there was no going back until he calmed down. Unfortunately, deep down he also felt the same way about the witness. He knew, that more often than not, the witness usually didn't make it or something happened where the suspect walked. And it was frustrating. Every bit of it.

Castillo walked out of his office and over to Sonny and Tubbs.

"Sonny, Tubbs. I need a word." Crockett looked up at him. "Sure." Both men got up and followed Castillo to his office. He shut the door behind him and stood behind his desk. Crockett looked grimly out the window. "Ortez's men knew you were heat." Castillo said, with an icy stare. Tubbs opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Crockett.

"I know. I know Marty…I know. And I just don't know how…how they would have known…. that we were heat? I mean…the only contact I met with was 2 days ago, and my judgement told me he wasn't one to tip Ortez off." "Lieutenant, we're about as frustrated about this as you are. We put in 8 months of work for this, only to be washed ashore…Sonny?" Sonny turned around. "Who was the guy you met with earlier to seal the deal?"

He scratched the back of his for a minute. "Eh uh…something Cruz…. something…. Santano. Santano Cruz. That was him. Why?" Tubbs excused himself for a minute. Crockett sat down in the bench across from Castillo, putting his hands over his face. "We only have the witness remaining to testify against him now, hope you realize that." Crockett looked up and gave a slight nod. "Yeah…yeah we do…" Castillo walked out the door. Crockett shortly followed.

Tubbs was with Gina near the police computer. Castillo walked over, with some seemingly important news. "Tubbs, Gina. Research won't be necessary." Gina and Tubbs shot each other a look. Castillo motioned everybody to follow him into the briefing room, where he had set up a projector. Apparently, this was very important. Castillo walked over to the screen that was being projected on. "Santano Cruz. Ex-military veteran who served in the Cuban army during the Cuban Missile Crisis." The slideshow switched to a young man in the army with a few others standing next to him behind a ship. "He was discharged in 1978, and went on to serve in the DEA alongside me in the covert operations of Southeast Asia. He and my former CIA agent partner Menton got involved in Lia Li's drug operation scandal. I'm sure you all remember that one."

Switek chuckled under his breath. "You sure bet we do Lt. What a funny guy!" His chuckle didn't last long when Castillo shot him a dead look right in the eyes. "He disappeared after the arrest of Lia Li. He hasn't been seen since…until now." Crockett looked at Tubbs, knowing there was more to this than Castillo said. The picture switched to another man with blonde hair, brown eyes and wearing a tank top. "Auric Waters." Castillo went on further about him, but suddenly the audio seemed to be drowning out as Crockett's eyes grew wide. He knew the man. He recognized him instantly. "Crockett?..." He snapped out of his stance. "Yeah um. Lieutenant…can I speak to you in private after this?" Castillo nodded.

Auric Waters had server in the Vietnam army alongside Crockett during his Vietnam days, before he took on Law Enforcement. As far as Castillo, and Crockett knew, he had gone missing after being declared "mentally unstable and unfit for law enforcement" due to some head injuries he suffered during the war. Crockett still remembered the day Auric had received a call regarding his application for becoming a patrol officer, alongside Sonny. After being told his application was denied due to medical reasons, he threw a violent fit and stormed out of the house he and Sonny were living in. That was years ago. Now he runs one of the biggest child sex rings and drug operations in South America, with thousands of deaths falling at his doorstep each year.

The briefing was over and everyone had left but Tubbs and Crockett, alongside Castillo. "Uh, Lieutenant. About Auric, I wanted to talk about…" Castillo stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Yes?" Crockett hesitated, as Tubbs got up and sat on the table near them. "I know him. He served with me during Vietnam…" Tubbs perked up. "I know." Crockett looked at him. "You knew?...and you let him get away with it without telling me all this time?..."

Castillo made himself clear. "Sonny…you know, and I know I can't allow personal vendettas in the business here. If I had told you, you would have gone out there and done something that would put yourself at harm's play and possible hurt yourself and and Tubbs." Crockett turned around and sighed. He walked out the door. Tubbs followed him, leaving Castillo to look after the place. He had a grim look on his face, because he knew that Crockett would stop at nothing now to take him down.

It was a busy night that day. Glamorous woman made through the streets with their roller-skates down the streets of Miami, and a nightclub was blasting music loud just next to the local repair shop. The neon pink lights lit up reflections for every car passing by left and right, especially Sonny's Ferarri. He got out of the car and made his way through the streets, wearing a dark blue jacket and jeans with a white shirt on underneath.

He rang up the public telephone and called up Castillo. "Get me the Lieutenant…yeah, thanks. Uh, Castillo, listen…I need to meet him. Tomorrow." There was a small pause on Sonny's end, then Castillo denied the request. He angrily hung up the phone. He was going to find him…and kill him. One way or the other.
