“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
As always, the optics are bad every time an enemy is captured alive. In every instance it’s to be expected that someone’s going to suffer humiliation before their demise.
An enslaved man finds himself at the whims of his captors. He like others before him in his line of work already knows the drill.
Commands are barked out by the death dealers in charge. And the subjugated are expected to perform.
With each order given, death inches closer and closer for the Cartel del Noreste operative. Assassins from the Grupo Operativo Rockeros of the Cártel del Golfo will soon see to it that he’s killed off.
