Not that I think it’ll do much good.
Soon as you take one out, another takes over. It’s a never ending cycle that is usually connected to those who are supposed to help end the drug crisis.
Whatever. I’ll get my part of the job done. The rest is up to someone higher up the ladder than me.
Milena
I’ve been awake for several hours now. Sleeping on this concrete floor every night is taking its toll on my body.
I’m already bruised from where the men here knock us around if we don’t do as they say. They mainly use us to get drugs across the border into the U.S.
Some, though, get used in other ways. So far I’ve been lucky on that part.
If I ever make it out of here, the first thing I’m going to do is kill that asshole that put me here.
My step-father, the bastard as I like to call him, never really liked me but there was nothing he could do about me while my mother was alive.
I knew that as soon as she passed away, that I would need to leave. I just didn’t know that I should have left before the funeral instead of after.
He’d tried to accost me one night after I got home from work while mom was asleep.
The pills the doctors had her on didn’t help her much other than making her tired all the time.
She slept through the whole thing and I didn’t have the heart to tell her about it. I’m sure she knew it was coming though.
She even told me that as soon as my schooling was done, that we would both leave.
So I went off to school but by the time I came back she was so bad off there was nothing I could do to get her away from him.
We didn’t have any money to pay for the doctors on our own and certainly couldn’t afford a place. We would have had to leave the area anyway as he would have found us.
Hearing the men coming to wake us up, I open my eyes and look towards the door at the end of the hall just as a man I’ve never seen before follows one of our jailers into the cell areas.
His face never twitches but there’s something about his eyes that just tells me he’s angry. About what, I’m not sure. Maybe they skimped on his drug order.
As they pass by the chain link area that I’m in, his eyes catch my own long enough for chills to pass down my spine.
