The civilian cargo ship wasn't slow either.
But by the time Guadalupe Island came into view, the sky had also turned a grim gray.
And at the dock, intense combat was unfolding.
An Mi-8 armed helicopter was bombarding the dock back and forth, embodying Victor's principle: No need for infrastructure if there are still drug traffickers left to kill!
The drug traffickers, already traumatized by helicopters, were wailing for their fathers and mothers, with quite a few even jumping off the dock, only to vanish with a splash into the waves.
This is the Pacific Ocean, big brother, not your neighborhood swimming pool.
Kennedy Heisenberg led 20 EDM members off the civilian ship, boarded the seized assault boats, and sped towards the dock.
The machine gun mounted at the bow began to sweep fire.
This was about seizing the initiative with an opening salvo.
It might not kill anyone, but it could surely scare the daylights out of them.
