For Better And For Worse
Chapter 104

Port of Mexico.

Five men from Gordjo in a black 4×4 arrive at the port followed by the van with two men in the cabin. Krist brings Gordjo in at the end.

Diego: I have a visual of three vehicles arriving. It is certainly Gordjo and his men.

Communications are also transmitted to the cell. The commander orders everyone to use night vision. The technician sets up a device to receive audio of any conversations that may be there. Gordjo is getting impatient.

Gordjo: It’s 10:55 p.m. and Mando is still not here.

Krist: be a little more patient boss, he will definitely come.

Here are Mando’s cars arriving.

*

Diego: two vehicles have just arrived. They stopped, some men got out. I count five men, among them there is certainly Mando. They approach Gordjo. This man in the white jacket could be him.

Néro: we are waiting for audio confirmation.

*

Mando: Mr. Gordjo!

Gordjo: Mando!

They hug each other.

*

Technician: We have confirmation that it is Mando.

*

Gordjo: I’ve been waiting for this moment for a while.

Mando: me the same.

Gordjo: where is the cargo?

Mando: She’s coming. She’ll be here any moment.

*

Technician: The cargo is not here yet!

Nero: Let no one move. Hold your ground!

Here is a ship arriving with containers and stopping at the port. Mando’s men climb into machines and lower the containers. Six men also get off the ship. They place a container in front of them.

*

Diego: a container has just been placed in front of the group. It’s probably the drug shipment.

Nero: get ready, as soon as we have visual proof, we will intervene.

*

Mando: There he is. Go ahead, open!

They open the container and see the drugs. Gordjo approaches and takes one to smell.

Gordjo: excellent!

*

Diego: I have visual proof, it is indeed the drug.

Nero: come on, let’s move, we’ll intervene now!

The agents come out from all sides and advance slowly to be able to surround them but they were spotted.

–The cops are here!

Mando: what, Gordjo, you set a trap for me!

Gordjo: no, it’s not me.

All the men take out weapons and fire bullets at the agents who also do not hesitate to open fire. Other officers come out of the water to intervene as well. Krist and Ernest run away with Gordjo. Krist in front, Gordjo in the middle and Ernest behind. As for Mando, two of his men try to flee with him while the others take care of shooting. They are hiding among the containers and some agents are looking for them but they manage to reach a vehicle and they get in to leave. Unfortunately for them, Diego flattened a tire and they had an accident. Samuel and three other agents come to arrest them. On the other side, Krist and Ernest bring Gordjo but when they arrive behind a container, Krist stops and fights with Ernest. Gordjo asks what’s going on but he doesn’t listen and ends up putting Ernest out of commission. He then turns to Gordjo.

Gordjo: Krist, were you the one who betrayed me?

Krist: you destroyed my life Gordjo. I was going to be released that day, I was going to be reunited with my family. From the day you came into my life, you destroyed yours too.

Gordjo takes out his gun and points it at him.

Krist: Go ahead, shoot! Let’s get this over with!

He shoots but there are no bullets in the gun. Krist presents him with the bullets he had taken from the house.

Gordjo: damn!

Another officer arrives and Krist tells him to arrest Ernest. He orders Gordjo to move forward.

Krist: come on, move forward!

Krist takes him hostage and brings him back to the others. All the men were arrested, some injured, but the operation was a success. Krist brings Gordjo.

Krist: Commander, here he is!

Nero walks over and hands Krist a pair of handcuffs.

Nero: the honor is yours!

Krist: Thank you Commander.

So he handcuffs him before handing him over to Nathan.

Nero: You see, it’s over today.

Krist: yes, it’s over but I still have a lot of work to do at home.

Nero: I am sure that you will be able to solve all your problems, I have confidence in you.

Krist: Thank you.

After notifying the base of the success of the operation, Samuel joins the commander and Krist.

Samuel: Krist, thank you for the sacrifice you made, all thanks to you. Sorry I didn’t trust you the first time.

Krist: it’s forgetting.

They shake hands.

Krist: Now you’re going to help me get home, right?

Nero: of course, I spoke to the governor about it and he will help you.

Krist: Thank you very much.

Nero: let’s go to the cell, he wants to meet you.

Krist: Okay.

The drugs were put in the cell van, all the men arrested also in another van and they left the port to return to the cell.

CLCD.

Once back after the success of this operation, all the agents receive congratulations from the others who were on site. They look at Mando and Gordjo who are being taken to the cell. Everyone else is also locked up. As for the drugs, they are placed in the seal room in the basement. The governor comes to congratulate the commander and the director. Nero introduces Krist to him.

Nero: Mr. Governor, here is Krist, the one without whom this operation could not be a success.

Governor: Krist, it is an honor to meet you.

Krist: all the honor is mine sir.

Governor: are you an agent at home?

Krist: no, I just adapted to the lifestyle that life imposed on me.

Governor: In any case, you are doing very well.

Krist: thank you sir, I would like to return as soon as possible, my family is waiting for me.

Governor: ok, tomorrow, come and give me your report then you will tell me everything and I will help you.

Krist: okay, thank you sir.

The commander retires with Samuel to his office. He gives him his badge and his weapon.

Nero: I will make my report which I will submit tomorrow. This cell is now in your hands Samuel, if it is not dissolved.

Samuel: That’s what I hope. If the drug is gone, it no longer has a reason to exist.

Nero: It’s true, there may be no more drugs but there are still criminals. So maybe she could change her focus. Why not crime fighting unit?

Samuel: that’s an excellent idea, I’m going to suggest it. Thanks for everything ordering.

They shake hands and the commander comes out. He replaces Krist.

Nero: So what did he say?

Krist: tomorrow I will make my report and he will help me.

Nero: I’m happy for you.

Krist: Thank you. Can you put me up at your place while I sort things out before I leave?

Nero: of course, with pleasure.

Krist: Thank you. We’re going to Gordjo’s, I’m going to get my things.

Nero: Okay, let’s go!

They say goodbye and leave. The governor also returns as well as the others. Krist and Néron stop by Gordjo’s house. Krist picks up everything he has and puts them in the commander’s car and they go to his house. Before resting, Krist takes a time of prayer to thank the Lord. The commander writes his mission report tonight and very early tomorrow, he prepares breakfast while Krist writes his. After finishing, they eat and go to the cell. They submit their reports to the director.

Gordjo: damn!

Another officer arrives and Krist tells him to arrest Ernest. He orders Gordjo to move forward.

Samuel: thank you very much to both of you.

Krist: I would like a favor, Mr. Director.

Samuel: whatever you want Mr. Krist.

Krist: Gordjo knows the true identity of a drug dealer in my home who wore a mask, and this man tricked me into sending me to prison. I would like to ask Gordjo about him.

Samuel: okay, follow me!

He takes him to an interrogation room then he brings Gordjo to him and he leaves them.

Gordjo: Krist, you are really cunning, I admit it, you were smarter than me.

Krist: I’m not here to talk about that. I need some information.

Gordjo: what do you want?

Krist: I know you know Gauthier because you supply him with drugs, tell me who he really is. I want to know his true identity.

Gordjo: why do you want to know his true identity?

Krist: I was a simple, honest and honest man, a husband who loved his wife and was content with what life offered him. Then one day I lost my job but thank God I found a job as a waiter in a prestigious restaurant. Everything was going well until the day the boss’s daughter fell in love with me. I rejected her so she faked rape and her father sent me away. Fortunately for me, one day I met Mr. Gauthier who came to eat at the restaurant. He gave me his card telling me that if I ever needed a bigger job, to call him. So when I lost my job, I called him, he made an appointment with me and when I arrived, he said he wanted to involve me in drug deals. Naturally, I refused, but when he returned, he sent his men after me. We fought but they got me. They made me take drugs and put some in my pockets as well. This is where my ordeal began. I was accused of drug use and possession and sentenced to five years, but my lawyer and the anti-drug squad did not stop working and they arrested Gauthier’s men and seized his drugs. They were able to establish my innocence. I was going to be released that evening and then a riot broke out in the prison and you came and here I am. That’s my whole story. I want to know who this man is and why he was so angry with me, because when I was in prison he even tried several times to eliminate me so please tell me who this man is.

Gordjo remains silent.

Krist: Please Mr. Gordjo, I did nothing wrong to deserve everything that happened to me, tell me who he is.

Gordjo: I’m not a snitch.

Krist: It’s not a question of scale or not. It’s about helping me get my life back, please. You have nothing to lose.

Gordjo: some truths are not good to hear Krist. You might not like it.

Krist: tell me anyway, I’ve endured worse than a simple word.

Gordjo: very good, I’ll tell you, just for your sake. The person who hurt you all this time is BRUNO, your stepfather.

Krist: no…!

Krist receives this news like a bullet fired point-blank in the heart, which throws him against the wall. He slowly slid down to sit up like a dead person. Samuel and Nero come running.
