Raquel stood in front of an empty establishment in the Cyberia district alongside two of her men. Through the cracks of the bricked shop window, she carefully scanned the inside of the local. Once she got a good view, she smiled:
>So, it's true.
>I am indeed afortunada.
>The Yellow Empress left the town.
>And look at this district all around, the invisible hand of HALCYON is lighter than ever.
>This district is bustling with small independent businesses. It's perfect for us.
>All my opponents in the city are out of it.
>And what is best, Porkchop was shot by la chica mazorca.
>Finally, la dama fortuna smiles on La Jefa.
>Sheila is back. I have a second chance. And I never fail when it matters.
>As I always say: Good things happen to good people.
>No more pointless chases, time to focus on what matters:
>El dinero.
Raquel faced her men and started giving orders:
>We are going to establish our authority here and we will begin with the humble entrepreneurs, the backbone of the economy, I want twenty groups of tres men, armed, visiting every business in the district. Do not go for big retail yet. Prioritize family-owned businesses. Hernando compiled a list of them with their addresses, making sure all chicos got a copy.
>You will offer them protection against the gangs in town, 500$ a month. And if they refuse, you show them they need it.
>No deaths, for now.
>Pero pero pero, don't let anyone think they can skip the offer.
Both of Raquel's men nodded in understanding. Yet, one of them raised a voice:
>But Jefa, what happens with her? She is still in town.
For a couple of seconds, Raquel had to collect her thoughts and interpret the words of his underlying.
>Oh. No no no, not her...it.
>Pero pero pero, you are right.
>Change of plans, eighteen groups of tres. I want seis with me tonight.
>You know me.
>I am a woman of faith.
>Mass is at midnight.
