[Black Force Shorts 07] • The Wicked

Will Slater — one of the most violent and effective operatives in Black Force history — finds himself in California, drinking and partying and trying to forget about the horrific deeds he’s performed for his country. Then one morning a stranger kicks his motel door in. Sent by the organisation Slater works for, the man reveals his newest assignment — head to San Francisco, locate a private VIP club reserved for Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires and other uber-rich types, and befriend the Sinaloa cartel’s chief interrogator, in-country on one of his routine benders.

The cartel fiend is known only by his nickname: The Wicked.

What starts as a simple plan to extract information descends into anarchy as Slater struggles to maintain his cover under the influence of enough drink and drugs to kill a lesser man…

Sometimes, it pays to have a tolerance.
