“Hey Ramolito! You’ve always been
the black sheep of our family, but now
you’re in it up to your neck, looking 
at a life stretch in the state pen!
They’re gonna throw away the keys,
hombre
! I don’t want to hear your
excuses, save that for the judge — 
but as your twin brother I’m gonna
throw you a line!

“You know as well as I do that the
drug cartels are taking over Southern LA and most of Mexico, poisoning
both nations and dragging more and more people into a life of crime.
Hard drugs, guns and gang violence are the day-to-day currency and only
the drug lords ever seem to win. I know it might seem crazy, but with me
out of action, my buddies in the DEA need someone to play my part 
in the big picture.... Before you flip me off, hear me out. If you won’t do
this for yourself, maybe do it for papa’s memory....

“The story goes that he died of an overdose on the backstreets of Los
Toros, Mexico. But something doesn’t add up. If he OD’d, it was a damn
long fall from a curb that caused his injuries. But yet the flatheads 
at the DEA seemed to write him off all too quickly as an overworked 
and strung-out cop who couldn’t handle the pressure.

“He was a damn good agent. He gave his life to the forces of law and
order and I have one helluva hunch that he’d penetrated deep into the
cartel’s organization before his cover was compromised — by a traitor,
someone on the inside at the DEA. If you get involved maybe we can
clear papa’s name and blow the whole cartel wide open, taking out 
the drug lords in the process. 

“Since you’re not officially playing for our side, you don’t need to follow
the rules! Just make sure you’re good enough to go up against these bad
asses before you run in all guns blazing. These banditos 
aren’t playing 
to lose and they will bury anyone who crosses them.

“Did I mention that you can get all the training you need at the Pistoleros
Asociados in downtown Los Toros, just south of the border? I’d started
infiltrating the cartel when I got taken out by that grenade, so just carry
on from where I left off and use any means necessary to take these
scumbag pendejos 
out of the equation.

“So, are you with us? I hope so, hombre, I hope so.”
