Hex’s Place:
Hex was dressed all in black. She also puts on the police vest she stole. She takes one of the guns, she took from the drug dealer they were going to kidnap tonight. She checks the van she plans on taking for the kidnapping. She was feeling nervous and excited because she has never done anything like this before.

Once she was finished checking the van and making sure all the fluids were full and the tire pressure was right. She looks at her wristwatch and noticed it was twenty till one in the morning. She wonders where Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart was. She pulls her cellphone out and was about to dial their numbers when she hears the doorbell ring. She switches to her RING app to see who was at the front door. Standing out front was Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart.

She heads towards the front door and opens it “I was wondering when you ladies were going to get here.”

“We had another problem to solve, that came up.” Sasha looks at Hex and the way he was dressed.

He had on a black bodysuit and wearing a pair of black tennis shoes. He also was wearing a gun belt with a gun on his right hip and a police vest. The belt had smaller pockets that must contain other gadgets or tools for Hex. She noticed he had two spare magazines for the gun.

Nora also notices how Hex was dressed. She had to admit that Sasha’s guess about Hex not being a boy made sense. Hex’s hips seem to be smaller than a normal boy his age would be. The bodysuit showed off his long shapely legs.

“Are we going or staying?” Hex was getting impatient just standing around in his place.

“We’re going, Hex. Just give us a few seconds.” Sasha checks her cellphone. Her crew had sent her a text message letting her know the tank was set up.

An evil smile appears on Sasha’s face. She was going to have fun interrogating the drug lord.

“Alright, let’s go.” Sasha looks at Nora and Hex.

Nora was curious about why an evil smile appeared on Sasha’s face. She follows Hex and Sasha out to the black van they were going to take. Nora takes the passenger seat, while Hex drove. Sasha sat in the back as they drove over to the drug dealer's house. His place was in the bad part of Memphis, Tn.

The thing was, they had scouted the place out and knew where they could stash the van. After twenty minutes of driving, they arrive at there location. They park the van somewhere safe

“Hex, stay here with the van and wait for our signal.” Sasha slips out the back door of the van.

Nora looks at Hex “be careful and wait for us to signal you.”

“Alright.” Hex didn’t like the fact she was being left behind to be the getaway driver, but she figures Nora and Sasha must know what they were doing.

Nora catches up with Sasha “so what’s the plan?”

“Knock them out and walk out the front door with the drug lord.”

“How are you going to knock them out?” Nora was curious.

“Specially designed knockout gas. My mother came up with the formula when she uses to do this type of work. I improved on her formula.”

“So, you’re going to gas everyone?” Nora watches as Sasha moves.

“Yep, I toss these golf ball size balls into the house and let the gas do the work. The gas won’t hurt the occupants, it will just put them to sleep.”
Sasha dashes towards the shadow of the next house to the one they were heading to.

Sasha hands at least six balls to Nora “here, take these. Press the middle and count to ten. Once the gas releases, we have to wait a few minutes for the place to clear.”

Nora accepts them and finds where she has to press. She breaks off from Sasha and heads towards the back of the house, where six guys were sitting around playing poker. She spots an opened window and presses the middle of the ball and count to ten. She tosses the ball in and just as it hit the floor, it starts spraying the gas.

Sasha finds a few windows that were opened and tosses several balls inside the house. She also tosses a few through several glass windows. Several guys try to get to their guns but are knocked out before they can move. She meets back up with Nora at the front of the house.

“See how easy that is? No one shooting at us and we don’t have to break a nail.”

“How would you handle it, if you didn’t have your little gas ball?” Nora wonders if Sasha relies on her gadgets too much.

“Oh, I would just use some other trick up my sleeve. After all, I am a stage magician and misdirections and distractions are what I am good at.” Sasha starts walking towards the house.

When they walk inside, Nora and Sasha couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Their children passed out on the sofa that had been playing video games in the living room. In the kitchen they were packaging cocaine and mixing the powder cocaine with fentanyl. They were also counting money as well.

Sasha walks over to the cabinets and find a garbage bag and put all the money inside it. She a few other places and find the hidden money that was there.

“You’re not keeping that, are you?” Nora looks at Sasha with a serious look on her face.

“Nope, I’m giving it to a bunch of charities that can do some good with it. As for the drugs, I know a place we can get rid of it.” Sasha packs all the drugs up as well.

Nora finds the guy they came for. As for the rest of the gang, she zips ties them. She spots Sasha drawing facial features on the others that were knocked out.

“How long does your gas last?”

“At least an hour. They will wake up feeling fully refreshed.” Sasha looks over towards the kids that were asleep. She felt sorry for them. She
would never do something like this to her girls.

“Hey, you want to give me a hand with this guy?” Nora was trying to pick-up the person they came for.

“No problem.” Sasha signals Hex to come and pick them up.

The Van:
Hex had watched as Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart disappeared into the darkness. She kept a close watch out around her. She taps on the steering wheel and wonders how long it was going to take Nora and Sasha to apprehend the person they came after.

She glances at her watch and noticed fifteen minutes have passed since Nora and Sasha had left her. She doesn’t hear any gunfire or explosions. She tries to calm down and hope everything is okay.

Hex hears her cellphone start beeping after another twenty minutes. She knew that was the signal for her to come and pick them up. She starts the engine up and heads over towards the house. She spots Nora and Sasha outside with a person between them and several bags as well. Hex wonders what could be in the bags, as she pulls up to the curb. She gets out to help them.

“What’s with the bags?”

“It’s their money and drugs.” Sasha tosses everything into the van carefully.

Once they were loaded up and driving away from the drug house. Hex wonders how much they found.

“So, where too, Sasha?” Hex glances at Sasha since she was in the back.

“5741 Oak King Road.”

Hex punches the address into his google map app and follows the directions. He wonders why they were heading there. He follows the directions and finally arrives. It took them about thirty minutes to arrive.

The place looked like it uses to be an old garage. Sasha gets out and walks up to the metal door. She inputs the combination on the lock and lifts the heavy metal door up. She turns around and motions for Hex to drive inside.

Hex drives inside the building and it was bigger inside, then it looked outside. She turns the van off and gets out.

“What is this place?” Hex was looking around and spot a clear square tank in the middle of the room with a platform around the top of it.

“It’s a storage place my mom owns.”

Nora spotted the clear square tank with a frame going the top of it. She has seen that setup before as a stage magicians act. She wonders if that was what Sasha had planned for their drug lord.

“Hey Hex, can you give me a hand moving this guy?” Sasha looks at Hex.

“Sure.” Hex walks over to help Sasha.

The guy was big and heavy. He had to adjust how he carried the guy a few times.

“What are you going to do with him?” Nora follows Hex and Sasha as they carried the guy.

“I’m going to give him a chance to tell us everything we need to know before that tank fills up with water.”

Hex looks at Sasha “you’re going to drown him?”

“No, but I’m going to let him think I am. See, that tank has a trick floor, so I can drain all the water out of it quickly. It’s sitting over a drain. I thought about using electric eels, but I figure he’ll get the message and talk.”

“Oh, you are mean.” Nora had a playful smile on her face.

“I could encase him in a block of jello.” Sasha takes the zip strip off and put a set of handcuffs on him and lift the unconscious drug dealer up.

Between Sasha and Hex, they manage to lift the drug dealer up and into the tank. Sasha secures the top and hooks the fire hose up to fill the tank. She climbs back down and taps on the glass of the tank.

Pablo slowly starts waking up. He hears a tapping on the glass in front of him. He freaks out when he realizes he isn’t in his house with his guards and friends. He looks at the two women and young boys looking at him. He notices his hands are secured with handcuffs.

“Good morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well?” Sasha had a smile on her face.

“Who fuck are you bitch and how did I get here?” The last thing he remembered was playing poker with his men.

“Well, Puff the Magic Dragon brought you here to me. He said you have been a very naughty boy and need to be punished.” Sasha was
enjoying messing with Pablo.

“You better let me out of here bitch. Do you know who I am and what will happen to you?” Pablo was getting pissed with the red hair woman.

“Oh, I’m so scared of you.” Sasha does a fake shiver.

Pablo just glares at Sasha. He looks at the floor he was sitting on and saw that it was some sort of grate. The tank itself was taller then he was and smooth. There was nothing for him to grab onto.

Sasha taps the glass to get Pablo’s attention. She was ready to get started with the interrogation.

Pablo turns his attention back to the red hair woman “WHAT!”

“Tell me who supplies you with drugs and where do you get them from.”

“I ain’t telling you shit, bitch.” Pablo was pissed.

“Wrong answer.” Sasha presses a button to let the water flow into the tank.

Pablo shivers when he feels the cold water start filling the tank he was in. He bangs against the glass, but it doesn’t do any good. He looks at the red-haired woman and the Hispanic woman watching him.

Nora and Hex watched as the tank start filling with water. They wonder when Sasha was going to stop it from filling.

“You said you weren’t going to let him drown.” Hex walks over to Sasha.

“And I’m not going too, but he doesn’t know that. Besides, the water is only up to his knees.”

Nora walks up to the tank. She doesn’t think she could be as cool as Sasha. Sure, she has done somethings with shock collars and such, but making a person think they are going to drown, is a new thing.

Sasha stops the water when it gets to Pablo’s waist “now, do you want me to continue or are you going to talk?”

“Go fuck yourself, bitch!” Pablo glares as Sasha.

“Okay!” Sasha turns the water on again.

Pablo watches as the cold water starts filling the tank again. He knows if he talks, he’ll be killed. The thing is, does he want to go out drowning or chance being shot. He tries to swim to the top of the tank, where the hatch is. He sees the water getting higher and higher. It stops just a foot away from the top.

“Well?” Sasha looks at Pablo to see if he was going to see how serious she is.

He gives her the middle finger. Pablo was going to see if she would do it.

“Okay.” Sasha pushes the button.

The water starts flowing again. Sasha wasn’t going to back down.

“Sasha, we need him alive.” Nora was ready to shoot the tank to let the water out.

“He’ll talk.” Sasha watches as the gets to full and Pablo floats around inside.

Sasha, Nora, and Hex noticed he was holding his breath. Hex looks at Sasha “aren’t you going to release the water?”

“In a few minutes.” Sasha knew how long she could hold her breath. She watches as Pablo starts losing air.

Pablo bangs against the glass. He was losing air. He looks at her and nods his head. The next thing he feels is the water draining out pretty
quickly, but stops at his waist.

“You better talk, or next time I won’t be so nice.”

“I’ll talk. My supplier is Gomez Xavier with the Tijuana Cartel. He brings it up from Tijuana into Texas and then up the Mississippi River, through New Orleans.”

“What’s his connection to McKinley?” Sasha needed the information.

“He kept us informed about ICE and DEA movements, so we could avoid them. He also supplied us with information on Coast Guard patrol routes.”

“Why did he killed that DEA agent family and tried to kill his child as well.” Nora wanted to know why McKinley did what he did.

“Because McKinley found out that the DEA agent figured out his connection to us.”

Nora was tempted to take the control Sasha had and drown Pablo inside the tank. Carol lost her family because of greed and drugs. She couldn’t believe someone would destroy a family for those reasons.

Hex could see that Nora was thinking about something. She was so quiet and there was eerie sense to her. As for Sasha, she wonders what she was going to do next.

Sasha pulls her cellphone out and presses the number 8 on her phone. She waits a few minutes “I have a pickup for you. Take the package to the local police station. I’ll have the evidence for you.”

Hex wonders who Sasha just called “who were you talking too?”

“A transport company. They are going to come and take Mr. Pablo here to a nice jail cell, along with some of these drugs and pictures.”

“Let me go, bitch. You got what you wanted.”

“And you got what you wanted as well. A second chance on life. Do better this time around or I’ll come back and finish what I started.”

Hex, Sasha, and Nora turned around leave the warehouse.
