Transcript
I knew the reach of the Menendez Cartel extends around world, but I did not understand just how high Jefe's influence went until his Soviet friends arrived by helicopter -- several squads of Russian soldiers that made our sicarios look like boy scouts.

Señor Raul spoke to them briefly, then told us these men are in charge now. I have not seen el Jefe since, but his Russian friends seem to know more about this whole situation than they are willing to admit. It feels less like they are here to hep than they are here to cover it all up. I am beginning to doubt that I will survive this after all. And to be honest, I don't much care. Not after today.

You see, I went to check on Manuel after the Russians sent out "kill squads" to eliminate all soldiers of death. By the time I reached Manuel I knew I was being followed. Turned out it was Hector Garcia from Matagalpa. He was Manuel's squad leader - which is probably why Hector let me live. He understood why I tried to spare my brother but leaving Manuel in this condition was simply not an option. So he said he would keep this between us on one condition: "You must spare your brother the continued pain of his existence." And so I did it, mamá, I put two bullets in Manuel's head and then I buried him. Hector even helped dig the grave.

I do not expect you to understand, much less forgive me. But Manuel was already gone. I had to let go of him and move on. So do you.

I pray you are safe and that Rio Blanco was spared this horror. I am going to stay here and help hunt down the rest of the infected. After that, I expect the Russians will eliminate all witnesses, including myself. And I will deserve it. But what happened to Manuel and the others was not their fault. And I know you will disagree, but it was not God's judgment either. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. I only hope time has not run out for everyone.

Con Amor,

Jorge
