Has Hope But …

One morning, in the streets of Medellin; a young man was running away from home. Juan Martinez, 17 years old Colombian, is running away to follow his dreams. He has ambitionus, that’s what makes him different from the other homeless child. But also his obsessionaddiction, strived him to reach his goal of making him wealthier. So what can he do to reach his goal? There is word in the streets that a Colombian drug lord needs a young soldier.
In response, Juan tried his hardest to find this the infamous Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar. It’s pouring hard in the afternoon and Juan is soaking wet. He’s shivering alongside the sidewalk in the cold weather, due to lack of clothing. Until he reached an intersection that looks abandon. But there were what seem to be security guards outside the front entrance. Juan approaches the security guards and yelled,” Is the company hiring anybody at the moment.”

Security guards responded, “Yes we do have one open job.”

Juan replied, “Where are the do I get an application at?”

Security guards answered,” Nope just go proceed right in and walk all the way straight until you see a set of titanium doors.” Juan walked into the building and followed the security guards instructions. The aisles were pitching black and silent walking toward the titanium doors. As Juan walked down, the air was getting cold. As Juan approached the titanium doors, he knocked and the sound made an echoed. When the doors opened up, a bright light shined on the young Colombian’s face. He was greeted by Colombians that had assault rifles and Kevlar vest on. A middle-aged man was sitting at the end of the table.

“Hi there young recruit, I’m Pablo Escobar and how can I help you?” said Escobar.

“Well Mr. Escobar, I wanted a job since I’m homeless and have no money,” stuttered Juan.

“Well of course, I’ll give you a job,” answered Pablo Escobar. After their conversation, Juan became excited when being hired. But the catch is that, his job started right away. Juan didn’t know what he had to do accomplish. Pablo told him that he had to leave town to meet with some of his other employees. After he was told where to go, Juan went to the remote part of the mountains. When he arrived there, he saw more men with assault rifles but found this time were machines that contained bags of cocaine. He knew that he became a criminal from that moment on. A young man approached to Juan because he is under his supervision. The couple of days there,there it was became hard because they had to operate rapid and ship kilos of cocaine to an unknown destination.

Weeks later, Juan became a skilled worker in packaging bags of cocaine. The young supervisor approached him once again, but this time to congratulate on his work. He told him that he had special job to do execute in the orders of Pablo Escobar. This His job was to infiltrate the enemy’s base in Cali. He returns to the secret base of Pablo Escobar. When he arrived got there, he sat down with him. Between them Pablo and Juan, they talked about the operation that Juan had to execute and Juan was going to get paid well. Two comrades walk into the room with with Cali Cartel membersenemies that tried to infiltrate their base. At that moment, Juan witnesses an execution of the enemy and was traumatized after the incident, where blood splattered and human matter across the floor.

“As you witness an execution of the enemy, that happens when you fail to infiltrate and it’s your job to infiltrate our enemy, the Cali Cartel ,” Pablo said.

Juan is sent to a truck with other comrades to the town of Cali. As the truck came closer to Cali, Juan became more nervous and unsure about this the operation. When they arrived to the placed, they arrived to an abandon building. As the group went inside the aged rotting building , Juan was sweating. They arrived to a table with criminal bosses. They asked each one of us questions why we wanted to work for them Cali Cartel. The other comrades passed until they asked me questions.

“Why do are you want willing to join our criminal organization?” said the “Boss”

“Well…. (Stuttering) I want to join because I learned from the be…” Juan was stopped when he noticed he was shot on the heart.

“Well you know what, tell your boss that I’m going after for him,” laughed the “Boss”. Juan and his fellow comrades were shot them after their failed operation.

Juan’s last words,” I’m sorry boss but this time I failed you and easy money only leads to a short life.”

After the death of Juan, Pablo received got the news and wondered why he keeps doing this the job if it involves the life of others. The death caused Pablo to realize that he sends others to commit suicide so he can make millions for himself. Pablo keeps doing what he knows best and hires young men to do perform the dirty work for him, hoping he can live for another day.
