Chapter 9: The Treasure Fight
Verse 1: Desire
Desire rampages through my blood
Augustine, the 6 of Hearts and his older brother August, the 7 of Hearts are orphans of a drug dealer. Their parents died while smuggling drugs for the K of Hearts, who then adopted them at the age of two and four.
Adopted by K as kids, the brothers developed firstly the loyalty to the Heart family, and then their ferocious character. The brothers were locked up with many other orphans in a brutal elimination system, and they made it out alive. From that moment K of Hearts had already earmarked their destiny ---- drugs.
After years of grooming, the brothers took over the drug business at the US-Mexico border, which has always been a major source of income for the Heart family. The Wilson and Turner families have been trying to bring the brothers into their fold.
Augustine is known as a big, strong, vicious and brutal man and nicknamed "The Imp" at the border. The nickname derives from his penchant for collecting skulls of his enemies and making them into the shape of demon heads for deterrence. He has a secret room in his villa stashed with two wine coolers full of skulls, all of which are his trophies.
In a high walled villa in the deep desert north of Mexico, the curtains are draping, and the light is dim. Augustine sits on a sofa in the hall stroking an African hyena beside him. On the sofa next to him are two beautiful girls who have just taken a new drug. Every time a new drug arrives, Augustine will test it on the girls around him. The girls begin to have strong hallucinations, and instead of the powerful, sexy face of Augustine, they see a red demonic skeleton face in the dim red light puffing cigar vapor. Strangely, they are not scared at all. Instead, the powerful hallucination gives them a thrill they have never felt before.
The door is suddenly thrown open and a fat white man holding a cigar walks in. Mike, he is the lawyer and liaison assigned to the brothers by the Hearts family.
Mike strides into the hall and gestures for everyone to leave. A few of his men drag the two girls who are obviously high as a kite out of the hall.
Waiting for everyone to clear out, Mike makes his way to the sofa and looks at Augustine, "The location of Saxon's treasure has been confirmed, it's over 40 kilometres away and we need to move now. Your brother is on his way".
He holds up his phone and shows a map coordinate to Augustine.
"Who else will be there?" Augustine askes after looking at the map.
"The Diamonds and Spades are already on their way. We must speed up." Mike replies as he takes back his phone.
At night seven cars drives out of Augustine's villa and heads towards southwestern Mexico.
At a highway tamp a team of more than 20 motorbikes suddenly appears merging into the convoy and keep running......
