219 Ambrosia Cartel: Part 26 (1/2)
A shell company. That was what it was called. It was one of the fronts that the Ambrosia cartel used as a way to sell their weaponry to the tribals. Right now, Patrick, Lynn and the others were investigating that shell company. That shell company name was Helix. Not to be confused with the company that produced oil.
However, this company seemed to be a little bit of the record, even for the covert mind like Patrick and Lynn. That company wasn't listed on the Panamanian government list. In short, that company was illegal and its existence was questionable.
Even from the large compiled data that the intel team gathered, there were simply not enough traces for finding the remains of those cartels. Patrick and Lynn wouldn't be able to blame the cartel now since their involvement was questionable even though Patrick and Lynn's guts and feeling told them otherwise.
Right now, in the Blackhawk, those two were heading to the capital of Panama. Their objective was to investigate Helix and their origin using the faked letter that the intelligence platform made from therm. The disguise was simple, they were from the financing assistant from the Panamanian government and they wanted to find out the existence of Helix without being disturbed by the Ambrosia since they were disguising as a citizen of the United States.
The US had a very large authority over the world stage after all. It wouldn't be a big surprise if the Ambrosia cartel wouldn't come after them with the US passport in their pocket. That was also the main reason why they were dressing up as civilians. Patrick wore a formal shirt and a black pants while Lynn wore the same thing only more feminized.
Their landing zone would be a parking lot near the panama capital. That parking lot would be designated as the landing zone due to the fact that it was located very far away from any civilization. It was located in the middle of a dense forest with barely enough space for the helicopter to land. However, any HSDC pilot should be able to insert personnel to any zone without any difficulties since it was one of the requirements to be a pilot of the HSDC.
”Patrick, do you think we are too conspicuous?” Lynn asked.
Patrick didn't answer. He just looked at the scenery without replying his girlfriend. All he could think right now was the fact that he saw Farl at the abandoned missile base that was located deep inside of the Panama Canal. It simply made Patrick nervous. If the person who Lynn thought that his head was blown off was still alive, Patrick wondered about the others.
”Sorry, I was missing out. No, I don't think we are too obvious. We are only a civilian after all, we better stay to our nature as a regular person if we don't want to stand out,” Patrick said and he looked at the sky again.
It was one of Patrick's response to Lynn's statement. Lynn statement wasn't meaningless either since Lynn knew that the Ambrosia wasn't that dumb either. They might know if there was something wrong. If there was something wrong, they would be immediately fell into a deep mumbo jumbo. Patrick didn't want their cover to be blown either, but that was the only choice to investigate the company without arising further suspicion. They had bribed for the service after all so there would be no issue.
”We might have paid 500$ to the nearest authority, but that doesn't mean that they won't kill us either. Well, we just have to stay vigilant and keep our eyes opened for something that out of the ordinary. Don't worry, as long as you're with me. You will be safe,” Patrick said proudly to Lynn.
Lynn nodded in her understanding. Patrick was reliable as a person. He also had cheated death twice so lady luck might on his side after all. However, Lynn was still paranoid about that, for example, she still packed an FN Five-seveN on his pocket. She simply didn't want to take any risk about what could possibly happened.
The Blackhawk arrived at the parking lot. It was literally located in the middle of the forest. A camping ground to be exact. That was the only spot where HSDC could do an insertion without being looked as too obvious. Patrick went down from the helicopter and Lynn followed him shortly. The helicopter took off from the ground afterwards and Patrick waved his hand at that helicopter.
According to the mission details, there would be a car parked inside of that parking lot. There was a car inside of that parking lot, the car was a standard Chevrolet suburban that HSDC always used during their clandestine operation. It was weird considering that the car was used at almost every single situation that HSDC had ever face and the enemies hadn't found out about the car yet.
