Ricky drove while Jacinda and El Diablo "chatted." It was really more of a one sided discussion at this point. She was using the antidote to mock him, and usually that sort of thing would have upset him. This time it didn't. After all the pain and fear this man had caused, he deserved to be staring death in the face.
Ricky listened as the ass began to talk. "Some of my men and customers have been disappearing. Others come speaking of a strange bat like creature. Any corpses we find are ravaged - claw and teeth marks. They are usually sighted near the caves. We sent some men there. They didn't come back. That's all I know...I swear."
Ricky could hear the man's panic, and as he made a quick glance over, he saw it in his eyes as well. The pain must be intensifying. The cartel members eyes were on the antidote. Ricky stopped the SUV. The mouth of the cave before them. "We are here."
Jacinda administered the antidote and as it took effect, El Diablo realized where they were. "No - not here." Ricky could hear the panic in his voice.
Ricky pulled out one of his colts and pointed it at the man. "Out."
Ricky followed suit, keeping his gun trained on the man who got out slowly and stumbled a bit as he got to his feet. Jacinda also got out of the vehicle, her gun trained on El Diablo. Ricky gestured to the mouth of the cave silently.
El Diablo swallowed, but didn't move. "Come on. We're just helping you be a good lieutenant. You wouldn't want El Sanguinario to stop by and see that you haven't checked out the issue that's been going on around one of his prime establishments."
The man cringed but began walking. Ricky followed him into the cave. He pulled out a light and kept it just bright enough to see by. The man stumbled a couple of times, but got up as quickly as he could. A few minutes and they emerged from the tunnel into what appeared to be a den. Skeletons and bodies littered the floor and the room smelled of death. Ricky allowed El Diablo to walk farther in. The man was shaking and looked up as he heard a screech. Ricky turned his light to the ceiling and for the first time looked on his quarries. There were four of them, all rather large, at least larger than any he had seen before.
The stories said they were attracted to sin. It was why he had gone to confession. He had been cleansed. The four creatures gave him a momentary gaze, but although he was the one holding the light, they turned their focus on El Diablo. Except for one - it's eyes were clearly turned onto Jacinda.
