The stolen tablet is said to contain compromising information. Our mission is to locate and retrieve the tablet.”
"What is so important about the information on the tablet? And what does it have to do with Spam?" Mahina asks.
"The contents of the tablet have not yet been revealed, as this could have led to certain circumstances that have not arisen. Therefore, whoever stole it may still have it in his possession. The ability to access it at a moment’s notice is almost as important as the possession of the tablet itself" Stella says with a serious tone. "Agent Jones was sent in to lead us on this mission. He will be posing as a tourist with a strong curiosity about the culture and history of Guam. Our job is to follow his command until the tablet is retrieved. Jones, the floor is yours." The tension in the room is thick as everyone's eyes examine my troubled expression. Should I tell them what is really going on? What if there is a mole in this room? Can I trust that no one here is working with Governor Cal Lakas? Can I trust that they do not really work for Mr. Saru? No matter, they are all staring at me and I am gazing out the window.
"Thank you, Stella. Team, retrieving the stolen tablet is our top priority. Also, our mission involves Spam. Someone has been putting drugs into Spam cans and shipping them to Guam. Someone is shipping methamphetamine to Guam in cans of Spam. It seems like the perfect crime. Who would suspect that drugs are in cans of Spam?" I ask rhetorically. Eddly and Stella look at each other as Mahina stares blankly. "The intelligence report states that the Spam is diverted, repacked with methamphetamine, trucked to the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, and then shipped to Guam. Our mission is not to stop the drug trafficking. We just need to figure out who is doing it. We need to follow the money," I say to a silent table.
"Who on Guam could do that?" asks Mahina.
"Uneducated human beings. Low life people who need to get a life and stop dealing drugs," Stella says.
"At first, we suspected a man only known as ‘eL Capitan’, but now we think it is an inside job. Inside the government of Guam that is. We believe that the Saru corporation is involved with eL Capitan and more specifically, Governor Cal Lakas."
"Who is eL Capitan?" Mahina asks.
I open the attachment in the message on my phone and read the description aloud.
"eL Capitan's real name is Stephen Binkfain but no one calls him by his name. He is described by the people who have met him as artistic, impulsive, captivating, garrulous, ingenious, musically-inclined, thoughtful, and driven by a madness which few may hope to understand. He is said to be the son of a Vietnam-era American GI and a Barbary Coast bar girl. He was raised in the San Francisco Haight-Ashbury district during the early 1970's. After graduating from Galileo Academy High School, he joined the Navy, where he excelled as a Navy Seal before being promoted to intelligence specialist at the office of Naval Intelligence. He was discharged in the aftermath of the infamous Tailhook scandal and enrolled at Silicon Valley College where he specialized in computer science. He disappeared for a few years only to be arrested for hacking into the Ticket Master box office and dispensing free tickets during the first Electric Daisy Rave, where he was performing with his band 'the Stimulators'. No one has seen or heard directly from him since. He is an enigma. That is his power. Anybody could be working for him and they may never know. Physically, he has been described as tall, dark, and handsome with an almost preternatural youthfulness. He is a highly-educated with a penchant for good food, strong drinks, and beautiful women."
"He will love Guam," Eddly says with a smirk as I pause and then resume speaking.
"We need to focus on finding eL Capitan and get close to him without letting him know that we are looking for him. He is probably hiding in plain sight and on a small island like Guam, finding him should not be difficult. Do you agree?” Everyone nods and I continue. "Once we find him, we have to keep our cover and get close to him. Close enough to access the tablet and then apprehend him. Eddly, check in with the local bar scene. Look for any new bands on the island. Mahina, monitor all GPD communications in case the local cops hear anything. The first thing we need to do is find eL Capitan. And we need to investigate governor Lakas."
