Man. My girls great aunt just dropped some of the wildest family lore I have heard in a long time.
When she gets back home to NY or Mexico or where ever the fuck she is currently living I'm gunna get my chick to FaceTime her so the story gets recorded correctly and doesn't get lost in time. And so I can transcribe this shit into a cohesive story in English lol
Pre cartel crime families in Mexico. If you don't know. Mexican crime families mostly started post WW2. The US was running out of Morphine during the height of the European campaign. So the US state department went down and taught Mexican farmers to cultivate poppies/opium for the US war effort.
They would continue to do so after the war, and obviously were also growing ganja in some places. This would be the start of Mexican drug trafficking organizations, that later would consolidate and form the loose alliances that would become the cartels we think about today.
I mean that is mostly still how they operate. There isn't really one big faction, even among say the Sinaloa cartel. It's multiple groups of families and Orgs under one banner. And if you aren't current on that stuff, there is some wild ass shit going on right now.
So anywaaaaay. The story involves one of her great aunts being a kidnapped child bride by a Mexican crime family and the whole story is something right out of a fucking movie.
Daring rescues and escapes and disguises, political corruption, multiple murders including the fucking priest that performed the ceremony not knowing the girl had been kidnapped. Rapes, beatings. Lots of gunplay. Lots of deception.
Witch craft/brujeria. A seven year old girl orchestrating a midnight escape from a killer on horseback in the pitch black night in the middle of no where.
Fucking story just got crazier and crazier as it went on. But had a happy ending( well maybe not for the priest and people that got murdered lol) and she and her family would end up being free and living their lives.
If you guys are interested. I will try and work up a rough draft of the story arc this week.
Like we are literally already calling out chapter names lolol. "Act 2, Chapter 1" Uncle Santana and the cheese man's rescue"
