Conspiring Against the Conspirators

Alex received a phone call shortly after La Madre's meeting with her lieutenants. It was from none other than his mother, and when he heard Diana's voice on the other line, he was quick to flirt with her.

"Well… Look who's calling? It's been a while huh, mom? How are you all enjoying yourselves on the island?"

There was a stern tone in Diana's voice as she ignored Alex's question entirely, instead speaking with a sense of urgency as she scolded him for his actions.

"I don't know what you were thinking getting yourself involved with the cartel like this, but the DEA is setting up an ambush for you and the leaders of both Jalisco and the Zetas. If you go there, you will die. So please, for the love of god find some excuse not to step foot into that damned exchange!"
