Bound cargo

It didn't take long for the thugs to help unload the van. One of them took the van to an underground parking facility they had made out of an old cave. The other thug took Syd's car, and followed the van to the same destination. The entrance to the cave was well disguised, and no one would ever find it. After they finished covering up any signs of anyone, especially Syd, having been there, they boarded the plane with the rest of the gang.

Syd looked up as people stepped into the plane, and took their seats. There were three strange men she'd never seen before come aboard first. They were followed by none other than Vincent Beretta and her naked partner Nancy McKenna. The three thugs Syd was familiar with followed last.

Nancy was taken from Vinnie by two of the thugs who escorted her to the back of the plane, where they made her sit right across from Syd. She was shackled to the floor, and her cuffs were then removed.

Henna looked over at Nancy and smiled. "Nancy McKenna. It's been a while. It's actually good to see you. I've never forgotten what you did for me."

Nancy smiled in recognition. "I haven't forgotten you either Henna. I'd say it's good to see you, but I didn't expect to see you on a plane bound for Mexico, or so much of you."

"Now that is a story in itself. The four of us volunteered to come to Mexico to work for the Cartel. They promised us more than what we had, living on the streets of LA. We all jumped at the chance. We knew what our attire, or lack of attire, would be before we boarded the plane. Women who are taken to Mexico to work for the Cartel have to arrive nude. It's a rule for some reason. I don't know if it's a universal human trafficker's rule, or what, but flying naked to Mexico didn't seem that bad to any of us."

"Well, I wish you loads of luck when we get there. I hope things turn out like you say they will for you, and the other girls." With that said, Nancy finally turned her attention to Syd. "Syd, I'm sorry you got caught up in this mess. Why did you come, any way? You should have given up on me."

Syd looked at her with a fire in her eyes. "Nancy McKenna, if you think for one minute I'd ever write you off, or give up on you, you're sadly mistaken. Once I found out from Wesson where to look for you, I came as fast as I could. I got here way too early, and I got ambushed."

"Yeah, I heard the story about the whippoorwill, and the Care Bear undies?"

Syd palmed her face. "Why won't anyone let me live that down?"

"Hey! I'm not making fun of you, or anything. If you remember, I was there the day you opened them. It was your birthday, and they were a gift from your niece Shaniqua. You kept them out of love. it's the same reason why you wore them. It's like keeping her close to you, no matter how far away she is. I know I'd feel the same way. You don't ever have to be embarrassed about anything in front of me."

"Why do you always seem to have a knack for saying the right things at the right time? Thanks, partner. I owe you another one."

"No, I owe you one. I got you into this mess."

"Nancy McKenna, you did not hold a gun to my head, and tell me to drive here. I did that all on my own. I am very capable of getting into trouble all by myself. Now you take that back."

Nancy threw her hands up in the air. "Okay, you win."

Henna turned to Syd. "See? I told you so. You both bring out the best in each other."

"Yes, you did. Thanks for that. But now we have to worry about what's going to happen to us once we reach Mexico. I've heard the Cartel may sell us at a **** auction in Cartagena, just because we're cops and Americans. At least you four are lucky."

"Well, you two could always make a deal with them, and work for them like we are. You're both very beautiful, and would probably make a shitload of money for them. but it's up to you guys."

Syd and Nancy sat there, looking at each other. They both knew what the other was thinking.
