The Beginning…

Peter Giant Bowleg

Hector Alvarez always played for keeps. He had learned that the tough way from his father Jorge. His father had been in the military during the Vietnam wars and had taken three tours before calling it quits. Something bad must have happened to his father because he never talked about it and began to have these random incredibly violent mood swings. The man that used to come to his t-ball and football games was lost somewhere in Vietnam.

Jorge Alvarez returned from Vietnam and became an assassin for hire. He taught Hector to shoot and handle guns of all types. As the only male child with three other daughters Jorge was always testing Hector to toughen him up as he always told his wife Magda. He would constantly attack and roughhouse with the boy. When things became too rough at home Jorge would spend days and nights with his best friend Roberto and his family. Roberto’s family tried to do what they could for Hector and treated him like another member of the family. He was always welcome in their home and at the dinner table.

Roberto’s father and Jorge were old friends. While Jorge went into the Army and became a trained sniper Roberto’s father Reuben went into the Marines. During his second tour of duty he was killed when his unit was overrun by the Vietnamese.

After Reuben was killed Football became Roberto’s refuge for a while and then basketball and then he dropped out of school. He became a drug dealer for the Raiders Gang.

Roberto’s mother; Ava did not approve of his new lifestyle of pockets full of money, fancy cars and fast women. She told him so in no uncertain tones. His sister Selena always came to his defense and would get his mother to change the subject. Ava had worked two jobs while her husband was in Vietnam and after he died to make sure that her family bills and needs were met.

One night, Jorge flew into a terrible rage and beat Hector unconscious. Hector’s mother Magda tried to intervene to save her son. Jorge turned his rage onto his wife Magda and began to beat her with his heavy work belt. Hector came to as his father was beating his wife un-mercilessly with his belt. Jorge held a butcher knife in one hand and in the other he had a heavy work belt that he was hitting his wife with. Hector ran to the closet and grabbed one of his father’s 9mm guns and fired at his father until the gun emptied. He was still pulling the trigger to the sound of empty clicks when the neighbors arrived to find out what was going on. They had to pull him away from his father’s body and force the gun out of his hand. Hector became a changed man after that.

The Police investigation ruled that Hector had acted to save his mother’s life and no charges were filed. Jorge was cremated and his ashes were scattered on the North Georgia mountains where he had loved to hunt. As for Hector after his father’s death he became cold and distant to anyone he did not know. Gone was the outgoing and friendly guy. Hector also joined the Raiders Gang.

Hector was a natural with a gun and became an assassin for the gang. Hector also became quick to fly in a rage like his father. Roberto and those closest to him tried to keep him from losing control when he became hot about an issue or person. Hector was extremely ambitious and began moving up the chain of command in the Raiders. Roberto was supportive of his friend in most matters. When they had a dis-agreement they would meet at a Bar called Rosa’s off South Cobb Road and try to work out their differences. No matter the issue they would meet there and try to see each other’s perspectives on whatever they had a conflict on.

The last time they had had a conflict it was over greed. That conflict had happened over a year before. Hector had wanted to raise the pricings for their marijuana and cocaine products. They had met at Rosa’s and Roberto had said it was basically a simple reason NOT to raise prices. He took a paper napkin and said we are doing over half a million at our current prices per week. If we raise prices we run the risk of chasing off a third of our customers. In front of Hector Roberto took out a pen and he subtracted a third of the amount of the half million. Hector told him that right now they should concentrate on expanding their territory and distribution base instead of raising prices. Reluctantly Hector agreed with Roberto. They hugged and toasted with glasses of Bacardi Dark. It was off to party, eat, drink and chase women after that. To Roberto it was no big deal but to Hector it was sign of disrespect because he was now third in command in the Raiders gang.

Hector let it go because of their history and the way Roberto’s family had always been there for him but he was pissed about it none the less…. One day Roberto was told by another member of the gang that Hector had left town and gone to visit another gang leader in Mexico. Rumor had it that the gang Hector was going to see was big into Human Trafficking. Roberto felt that the gang was growing and being profitable in the areas it was in now. They were making a ton of money daily. The gang did not need to get into Human Trafficking as that would mean more attention to them and then the FBI coming after them. Once he got wind of the plan; Roberto called Hector and asked him where he was? He wanted to meet Hector at Rosa’s to find out if what he heard was true. Hector said he was out of town and would talk with him once he returned to town then hung up.

Roberto could tell something was wrong in the way Hector answered him. Roberto called his girlfriend Irene and told her he needed her to pack quickly. He was on the way home. He told her not to open the door to anyone but him. He jumped in his S500 with the AMG package and raced to Kennesaw and on the way he called a friend at the Net Jet Company in Kennesaw. He told them he needed a one-way transport to Jamaica right away. Alberto knew that Roberto could handle any fee for the trip but Alberto knew that Roberto was not a fool as well. There was a trip headed to Nassau and it could be diverted to Jamaica after dropping the couple headed to Nassau, Bahamas for the cash fee of $15,000.

Alberto told Roberto that he had a plane leaving in an hour for Nassau, Bahamas and he could divert it to Jamaica for the $15,000.00 total. Roberto told him he was on the way and to add one more person to the manifest. He told Alberto to use a fake name for the person but that they had their passport and travel documents.
