Well, here I am hunkered down in a sweaty apartment with a broken ceiling fan. My badge is on the table with my .45 and a pack of cigarettes. I have a bottle of tequila and no friends anymore. The cartel is coming for me, and they want blood. So what am I going to do?
Life is hard, it’s harder of you’re a cop south of the border surrounded by guns. The heat is unbearable, I long for the days of old looking out at the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. Now the only snow to be found comes in piles of processed cocaine I was sent here to put a stop to.
The dirty politician is still out there, and he's the most powerful one in the game as I see it. All he has to do now is kill 4 people. Me and three more cartel leaders. So, saying that I'm cartel, lying, may not get me killed right away, but they will sniff out the lie and then I'm done. But what if I tell the truth? What if I tell the truth and point out to them that the Politician has the easiest path to victory right now and I have the hardest. I have to kill 10 cartel members, only 2 are dead. It comes down to simple math. He needs 4, I need 8. It's better to keep me alive and use my abilities to help the cartel find and kill the politician before he wins, then maybe we can deal with each other after. But even then, once the politician is dead, I'll be soon after, despite the fact that the cartel win clauses have nothing to do with me.
