Nouno the Vigilante Episode 50 Targeting Everyone Involved

                In Grinnett, GA on the outskirts of Atlanta, 38-year-old illegal immigrant Jose Carrenza –Castro is mad at a woman whom we will call ‘Carmella.’  Although Jose wants to harm her, he doesn’t want to go back to prison as he had gotten out in 2014.  Carmella has two small children; one is a toddler and the other one is not much older.  Jose decides that rather than do his own dirty work, he’s going to get two college kids to do it for him.  College kids are always strapped for money and will do almost anything for cheap. He meets with 20-year-old Josue Isai Ramirez-Aguilar and 19-year-old Francisco Palencia. 

                As they are talking, Jose orders them to rape Carmella and provides them the details of how to enter the house.  Josue and Francisco are a little hesitant because they don’t want to get caught either.  As they speak, Jose realizes that this is the only barrier to getting what he wants so he recruits 19-year-old Angela Garcia to serve as a lookout and has 17-year-old Ana Lopez-Huinil to drive them so that neighbors will not be able to identify the car. 

                The day was set and Ana drives Josue and Francisco to Carmella’s house.  They go around back where there is a screened in porch.  Josue takes out a knife and cuts the screen allowing them entrance into the house.  Immediately, they go to the kitchen and take out two pans and fill it with water as they turn on the stove and place the pot of water on top.  Shortly after, Angela texts them that Carmella is home and Josue and Francisco grab the handles of the pan and wait for Carmella to enter.  Fortunately, Carmella’s two kids are still in the car as the older one wants to show he’s responsible and wants to get his brother from the car seat.  When Carmella enters, she freezes at the site of the two boys in her kitchen.  Josue and Francisco, however, do not hesitate as they toss the scalding water onto Carmella.  As Carmella screams, the boys scurry over to her bearing stun guns and begin shocking her.  Disoriented and outmatched, they force Carmella into a bedroom where they sodomize her and force her to perform oral sex on both of them.  They are both wearing ski masks so reason that they don’t have to kill her because she can’t identify them.  The two college-aged boys can’t believe that they are being paid for this as it was very easy to force her into submission.  Hearing the screams, her oldest son doesn’t release his younger sibling from the car seat and enters the house.  He goes to her bedroom, which is normally considered a safe space for him.  What he finds when he enters is not something he is fully able to process due to his young age. 

                When Carmella notices her son in the room, she pleads with them not to hurt him.  Deep down, she hopes that the mere presence of a little boy will discourage the college-aged boys from continuing their assault.  This assumption would prove to be false but they do manage to acquiesce to her request and not hurt her son but let him watch. 

 

                On the western end of the country, in Arizona, Nouno and Abby are in their pool as the weather has warmed up.  Abby comments, “Well some areas of the country are beginning to open bars and restaurants and stuff.  We may be turning a corner on this.”

                “Only Republican states are; the Democrats are going to delay opening up for as long as possible because they love how it destroyed Trump’s economy and the massive unemployment and hurting small businesses is worth it to them to make Trump lose the election.”

                “Where do you get that?”

                “They are all complaining that they need testing.  It’s not just tests to see if you have the virus but now they also want the antibody test.”

                “What’s wrong with that?  Didn’t you say the numbers were skewed because they’re only testing the symptomatic and people at the hospitals?   We need to know what the death rate is.”

                “Why do we need to know that?  The only reason they’re pushing this as a condition to open the economy is they know it’s an impossible act and then they can try to blame Trump for not giving them the testing they need so it’s his fault they didn’t open.”

                “The more we know about the virus, the better we can combat it.”

                “It’s unreasonable to contact trace in a big city.  You want to track every person someone came in contact with on a New York or Chicago subway and then everyone they came in contact with?  It’s impossible and it’s just to hold the federal government hostage because they want bailout money for their horrendous fiscal decisions.”

                “Like who?”

                “Cuomo (D-NY), Whithelm (D-MI), Northum (D-VA) to name a few.”

                “Well, New York was hit hard!”

                “They inflated their numbers to try to get more money from the government.  At least three thousand people that died were never tested for the Wuhan Virus but they marked it as a Wuhan death anyway.”

                “That’s why we need testing.”

                “Oh come on!” Abby smiled as she knew she was being a smart ass but Nouno continued, “Think about it though.  What would be the point of testing?  It’s not like HIV where you get tested because you had sex with a questionable character.  If you find out you don’t have it, you make sure you know who you’re sleeping with and take precaution.  If you find out you do have it, then you alert people and try to find a way for you to be sexually active but not transmit it.  You can’t do that with the Coronavirus.  You can get tested and find out you don’t have it then take the subway home and contract it there.  Maybe you don’t even take the subway, but you go into a grocery store and someone breathes on you.  What was the point of the test then?”

                “It’s almost like everyone has to be tested every day.”

                “Now you know why it’s unrealistic and an impossible ask.”

                “Whatever; we have a case.”

                “Minnesota?”

                “No, I know how much you complain about that.  We’re going to Atlanta.”

                “Oh good, they’re opening.  We can actually go to a bar or sit down at a restaurant while we wait.”

                “That is why we have some people going with us.”

                Nouno and Abby started out as vigilantes defending the United States and Mexico border.  They and several other patriots would stand at the border and fire upon any illegals they saw entering the country.  When Donald Trump became president and started building the wall and sending the military to secure the border, they realized that they were no longer needed.  They were known as the ‘minutemen.’  Although Nouno kept in contact with his fellow minutemen members, they didn’t speak often and most were unaware that Nouno and Abby continued their vigilantism by going after people in America that the justice system was too politically correct to prosecute.  They almost always acted alone so when Abby brought up that more people were coming with them, he became nervous.  He asked the one thing that would justify more people, “Do we have more than one target?”

                “Yup”

                “MS-13 or gang?”

                “Nope”

                “How many people are we bringing?”

                “Three others.”

                “Alright”

                “I have to admit that they jumped at the chance to be able to go to a bar again.  We’re going to fly separately but we all have an Air BNB together so we can strategize. “

                “You’re the boss.”

                Abby books the flight and when the time comes, they are on a flight to Atlanta.  There is one thing that the Wuhan Virus shut down has positively affected; those that were still flying were doing it with empty planes.  They loved it because it seemed like they had private jets but they paid next to nothing.  While they were on the plane, Abby asks, “You said that New York is inflating its numbers to get more money.  What’s wrong with that?  The federal government should help bail out states when they’re struggling.”

                “That’s not how our system works.  The Federal government doesn’t make money; they take it from its citizens.  Why should fiscally responsible states like Florida have to bail out New York for being fiscally irresponsible?  Many Floridians fled New York to get away from their high taxes and constant thievery of its citizens to try to compensate them for all the money they waste on Deblasio and Cuomo retarded liberal agendas and green policies.  Now, you’re saying that the federal government should steal it from them and give it to New York anyway?  That’s why they left in the first place!”

                “No, I’m not saying that.  I just think that when shit hits the fan, the federal government should help.”

                “The Federal Government has already given the states a trillion dollars.  That is like 30% of what we spent last year.  Enough is enough.”

                “People are struggling.”

                “If the states that are struggling now couldn’t manage their money before, what makes you think they’re going to be able to now?  Some have spent like 50 years digging the hole and you think we can pull them out in a month?”

                “I don’t think you understand how much money the federal government has.”

                “No, you don’t understand how much they don’t have.  The national debt is $24 Trillion.  The entire economy is worth $20 Trillion.  There’s no money.  Those stimulus checks that went out are borrowing from you to give to someone else who is borrowing from someone else.”

                “You say that the government already gave the states a trillion dollars, but all of that went to restaurants and hotels.  I saw it in the post today.”

                “First off, the Washington Post is worthless.  I would say it should be used for toilet paper but then you would get ink on your ass so it can’t even do that well.”

                “Well, nowadays people read it on their phones.  You may have heard that phones are like little computers now.  You don’t need to actually read a paper.”

                “Yes, and most of what’s on it is a lie yet they ironically call them ‘smart’ phones.”

                “How is it a lie?  The GOP let the Payment Protection Program fund go dry because they gave it all to hotels and restaurants.  Keep in mind that Trump owns hotels.  The Democrats want to replenish it.”

                “Actually, the Republicans want to replenish it but I’m against that.  The Democrats want to use it to pass their liberal agendas and not help anyone.  That is what’s blocking it because the GOP only wants it to go to small businesses but the Democrats, like they did last time, want to fund green new deal projects and bail out blue states.”

                “Well, if they didn’t waste it all on two industries, maybe they would have had enough for small businesses in the first bill.  Before you attack it, why don’t you read the article and make an informed opinion?”

                Abby pulls up the article on her phone and hands it to her husband.  He reads the article and inquires incredulously, “How much of the trillion do you think went to hotels and bars?”

                “I don’t know; all of it?”

                “Did you read the article or just the headline?”

                Abby gave him a dirty look, “I read the whole article thank you very much.  I know how to read.”

                “Why don’t you read the end of the article again?”

                Abby takes back her phone and scrolls toward the end where Nouno has highlighted the paragraph he was referring to.  As she’s reading, her face contorts in disgust.  Buried toward the end of the article is a paragraph completely refuting the headline as it admits that restaurants and hotels only took 10% of the total money disbursed.  She shakes her head and drops her phone and exclaims, “So what, it also says that several Democrats wrote a letter to Mnuchin and the small business administration asking that the payment protection be replenished so it was the Democrats.”

                “They left out that they wanted it replenished with the following conditions.  They want to dictate where the money goes and it’s not to anything affected by the Wuhan Virus.  Make no mistake about it, small businesses are suffering because Pelosi and Schumer are holding up the bill. “

                “Don’t you think that’s a good thing?”

                “I don’t want the bill at all so I want them to open everything up to make the payment protection obsolete and unnecessary.  That is not what Pelosi and Schumer are proposing so I’m against both parties on this one.”

                “Well, I think the president agrees with you.”

                “No, he doesn’t.  He says every day in the press conference that he needs to replenish the fund.  I’m straying from the president on this one too.”

                “I don’t want to talk about this.”

                “Of course not because you just got caught either lying about reading the article or being really bad at reading comprehension.”

                “Fuck you.  Don’t disrespect me.”

                “It’s just the truth babe.”

                She shoots him a dirty look and he grins back.  They land in Georgia and immediately go to the Air BNB.  While Nouno sets up the room, Abby furiously hacks into the social media accounts of Josue, Francisco, Ana, Jose, and Angela.  Given their age group, four out of five of them were easy to locate as they constantly posted their whereabouts.  Jose was a little harder but nothing that Abby couldn’t handle.  Later that day, three of their friends named Damon, Matt and Jim show up at the house.  They picked a good time because after a month of not being able to go to a bar, the recent openings has caused everyone to want to go out.

                Josue, Francisco, Ana and Angela are together in one bar.  Ever since their attack, they’ve bonded and became friends.  Jose, on the other hand, none of them wanted anything to do with.  After they were done, Jose informed that that he never said he would pay them.  They just assumed he would and told them that their reward was the sexual gratification they got from Carmella.  As for Ana and Angela, Jose told them that they didn’t do anything.  Angela letting them know when Carmella got home was pointless because she would have noticed the two people in her kitchen anyway.  As for Ana driving them, Jose pointed out that they could have just called an Uber or taken a taxi so she gets nothing.

                The conversation got heated but there wasn’t much they could do.  Nouno went to the bar Jose was at while the other four went to the bar the high school and college-aged kids were. It wasn’t hard for Nouno to find Jose but he waited outside the bar for him to come out.  Jose was alone but that didn’t stop him from spending a lot of time in the bar.  Luckily, Nouno was very patient.  Finally, Jose emerges from the bar, and Nouno approaches him.  He declares, “Oh look it’s the pussy that needs a bunch of teenagers to do his dirty work for him.”

                Jose turns around and barks, “What the fuck did you say?”

                “I’m sorry, is your English not too good?  Do you want me to say it in Spanish Bendejo”

                 Jose darted at Nouno but Nouno grabbed him by the throat squeezing his carotoid arteries.  With his opposite hand he lunged a syringe into Jose’s leg knocking him unconscious.  Nouno then dragged him to the car and tossed him in the back seat yelling that he shouldn’t have drank too much to try to hide in case people were around. 

                Back at the bar more suitable to a younger crowd, Abby is waiting outside with Damon while Matt and Jimmy walk into the bar.  They find the under aged group they are looking for and approach them.  Jimmy talks first, “What the fuck are you beautiful ladies doing with such trash as these assholes?”

                Josue fires back, “Look asshole, they’re with us.”

                “Are you even old enough to be in here?  What did you do?  Promise them some fake ID’s if they agree to fuck you?  He turns to Angela, “Girl, come drink with me and you won’t have to worry about any cops or security throwing your ass out for being under age.”

                Josue’s face was turning red in anger as Angela’s head was down glaring at Josue to do something.  That is when Matt took his cue, “Look girls, there are two of you and two of us.  Unlike these assholes, we don’t rely on our parents to send us money as we make our own.”

                “Nobody gives me any money jackass.” Francisco retorts

                “Oh, so you sell drugs?”

                Francisco gets up and stares down Matt inches from his face.  Matt is smiling and expresses, “Look it how quickly we stop social distancing.”

                Francisco goes to shove Matt but he side steps him and Francisco ends up falling flat on his face.  Josue is now up to.  Jimmy offers, “Hey, why don’t we take this outside?”

                Josue and Francisco are bigger than Matt and Jimmy but they don’t seem concerned.  They head outside and go around the corner into an ally.  Both Matt and Jimmy know that Josue and Francisco are going to go for a sneak attack so they make sure to turn their backs to them.  As they hear the boys both charging, they each have their syringes ready and turn and jam them below their chins and they drop like rocks.  Angela and Ana hurry over to them and lie on top with their hands out.  They plead, “Please don’t hurt them anymore.  Just leave us alone.”

                Abby takes this as her cue.  She walks behind the girls and takes out two syringes and plants them into the back of their necks as they fall forward.  It may have been a little harder if their targets weren’t all very drunk thus had slow reaction times and impaired judgment.  Matt. Damon and Jimmy load the four people into the trunk of the car that Abby pulled up and they drove off.  They arrived at the house before Nouno and set out to strap them down.  Matt and Jimmy went to sleep as they didn’t like talking to the people before killing them.  If they had it their way, they would have left them dead in the ally but Abby insisted that this was her mission so they had to do it her way. 

                The younger assailants woke up first and Nouno and Abby said nothing until Jose woke up too.  Usually, the criminals are held down by plastic but Nouno and Abby used rope this time for one special reason; plastic has a low melting temperature.  When Jose yells, ‘what am I doing here?’ The other four restrained people rapidly scream back at him.  Abby interrupts them and articulates, “Maybe this will be a hint to answer your question” as she tosses a half pan of boiling water on Angela while, simultaneously, Nouno throws half his on Jose.  Jose and Angela scream and Abby and Nouno ignore them and toss the other half on Ana and Josue.  Jose seethes, “You racist fucks! I’m sick of living in a racist country.  Land of the free my ass.”

                Nouno responds, “No, you’re not free to break into someone’s house and rape them.  That is not covered in the constitution.  You have to think though, if America really was a racist country, then calling someone a racist wouldn’t have any effect.  It would be like your country where people are open about it.”

                “I didn’t break in to anyone’s house or rape anyone.”

                “No, you just got some dumbass kids to do it for you.”

                Josue blurted out, “Fuck you”

                Nouno queried, “Who is that directed?  Me or him?”

                “Both of you.  Listen, that asshole said he would pay us but he stiffed us.  If you know that woman or something, then we’re sorry but it was all his fault.  He told us to do it.”

                “Do you honestly think that’s a good excuse to break in and rape someone?”

                Abby interjected, “In front of her kid no less.”

                “Yea, that’s pretty fucked up.”

                “I didn’t notice he was in the room.”

                “Bullshit.”

                “Look, I know you’re not racist.  You’re a good guy who feels horrified by what we did to that poor woman.  We are very sorry.  It’s just that we don’t feel welcome in this country because Trump put that restriction on immigration into the country.”

                Nouno took a stun gun and shocked Josue and condemned, “Well, I don’t know if you realize this, but there is a serious virus going around and it spread across the world in three to seven weeks depending on who you believe.  Allowing people in this country is probably a bad idea right now.”

                Ana fired out, “He’s a xenophobic racist tyrant.”

                Abby took a stun gun and shocked her and uttered, “This is what I don’t understand about you Trump-haters.  You bounce seamlessly from tyrant that is abusing his power to not doing enough.  Which is it?  Pick a fucking narrative and stick to it!”

                Jose was happy the attention was off him but he still offered, “In this case he did, he doesn’t have the authority to do that.”

                Nouno stunned him and replied, “Let me read the Immigration and naturalization act section 212F for those following along, ‘Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President.  “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.’ What part of that makes you think that he doesn’t have the authority to issue a temporary immigration ban?”

                Francisco states, “I assume I’m just going to be shocked for this but I don’t care.  The only reason Trump did that is because he’s diverting attention away from the fact that we need more testing.”

                Nouno shocks him and smiles as he pronounces, “I wouldn’t want to hurt your self-esteem by proving you wrong.  Except, you don’t realize that Democrats are always projection artists.  It is Schumer that is diverting attention away from the immigration ban because he knows it’s a good idea by talking about testing; which is impossible to test everyone in the United States.”

                Angela snickers, “Did you just give a ‘I know you are but what am I’ argument?”

                Abby stuns her and queries, “If Trump was diverting from testing, why would he have daily briefing and talk about testing?”

                “Are you just going to shock us every time we talk?”

                “Oh no, we’re done shocking you.  Now you’re going to die.” Abby took a knife and drove it into Angela’s chest. 

Nouno took the cue and took his own knife out and buried the blade in Josue’s sternum.  The married couple removed their blood stained knives and dipped it into the blood through the chest of Ana and Francisco next.  Finally, Nouno walked over to Jose.  Abby handed him her knife and Nouno took it in his other hand.  He wiped each blade against Jose’s cheek and declared, “Their blood is on you.”

Jose rejoined, “You think I give a fuck?  I used those kids.  They mean nothing to me.  You expect me to feel guilty?”

“No, I expect you to die.” Nouno explained as he drove one knife into the sternum and the other in the neck. 

Abby looks over the carnage and mutters, “Ummm, I just realized something?”

“What?”

“What are we going to do with all these bodies?  We can only cremate them one at a time and that would take forever.”

Matt appears in the room and nods, “Yea, I thought about that.”

Nouno asks, “And?”

Matt pulls out car keys to his rental car.  “Road trip”

                “Where to?”

                “Alligator Alley.  I got some sleep so you can take a nap in the car because we got a long way to go.”

                They hear the door open and Nouno and Abby jump.  Damon enters and explains, “I took a cab back to the bar to get their car.  The plan is that Matt and Nouno are going to drive their car to Florida so that we can return the rental cars and fly back to Arizona.  Matt and Nouno are going to book a flight from Florida because now that we’ve already killed people here, it’s a bad idea to stick around or return.

Nouno and Abby agree to the plan and then Matt and Nouno get in the stolen car and make the long journey to southern Florida to toss the bodies on a stretch of highway known for a large concentration of alligators.  As Florida is still mostly shut down, there aren’t many people on the roads so they can do it more conspicuously.  As soon as the fifth body is thrown, they get back in their car and drive to the airport where they book a last minute flight back to Arizona.  Nouno and Matt have been friends for a while.  Nouno knows Matt is apolitical but that is why Nouno likes talking to him.  He knows he views the information not from either bias so Nouno knows if he’s letting his right wing bias affect his opinion or if it’s legitimate.  He starts, “So, they declassified more of the Carter Page FISA warrants.”

“It took them long enough.  What did they find?”

“That the declassifications had nothing to do with sources and methods like they previously claimed.”

“I feel like we already knew that.  Some of it had whole pages redacted. I didn’t think it was all sources and methods.”

“True but at least we can confirm it now and it’s not speculation.”

                “That’s pretty disappointing if that’s all they got from it.”

                “I would agree but it’s not.  We now know that they knowingly spied on Carter Page so they could spy on the Trump campaign.  Apparently the FBI also knew that once you get a FISA warrant, you could get all the correspondences before the date; meaning when Carter Page was part of the campaign.”

                “Again, something that was obvious”

                “You don’t think that it’s something when the media has been telling us for years that the Trump campaign wasn’t spied on?  It’s one thing to make an educated guess but it’s actually in the FISA that the FBI admitted it.  That means when they told the media that they weren’t spying on the Trump campaign, they blatantly lied and now we have proof.”

                “It specifically stated it?”

                “Yes!  They even admitted that they hoped that Page would still keep contact with Trump campaign members so they could spy on the campaign going forward too.”

                “And into the presidency after Trump won.”

                “Yes, considering the 2^nd and 3^rd FISA were in April and June 2017 respectively.  Donald Trump was president and they kept spying.  Again, both FISAs admit that Page had access to senior US government officials during this time.”

                “Well this is vindication for everything you’ve been saying for four years.”

                “It gets worse.  In the FISA, the FBI claims that Carter Page is helping the Russians because he professes his innocence after they falsely accuse him.  They claim that it creates chaos in the country because conservative media defends him and fights with liberal media and the battle to defend himself pits him and the president against the DOJ thus dividing America.”

                “Wow!  Okay, it’s official, the FISC can no longer claim that the FBI lied to them or tricked them.  Anyone with a brain would realize that if someone said something that retarded that they were clearly lying.”

                “I would agree.”

                “Any other gems?”

                “Yes, but I’ll spare you the rest.  Sergei Millian is interesting because the FISA attributes quotes to him that were word for word from the dossier, which they claimed not to have yet.”

                “By now, we know that the dossier was the only thing they had to open the investigation.”

                “With all these lies that they have been caught in, I’m beginning to think that Steele not only didn’t write the dossier but that he lied to Kavalec about his sources.”

                “Is this the part where his sources claim they never told him some of the things he claims they said and others write it off as not serious and just bar talk so he exaggerated?”

                “No, but that does destroy any credibility.   His having zero credibility made me question everything he said.  One, the format of capitalizing every letter of a last name is Russian formatting so it was probably written by a Russian.  That’s a different story though.  The other point is that he told Kavalec that his sources were Trubnikov and Surkov; two Russian disinformation specialists.  Originally, I thought that Halper, who taught a class at Cambridge with Trubnikov, introduced Steele to Trubnikov.  Now, I’m beginning to think that they never met.  There are parts in the dossier where Steele makes reference that his source got it from another source.  This isn’t how intelligence works because you don’t get vicarious credibility.  To stop being vague, what if Steele got the information from Halper who said he got it from Trubnikov?”

                “Like a big game of telephone.”

                “Yes”

                “Based on what you said, a Russian wrote the dossier, maybe it was written by Trubnikov and attributed to Steele.”

                “That would be the ultimate Russian disinformation.  It’s possible actually.  It would explain why in interviews, Steele claims not to be sure of things that were written previously in the dossier.  Yea, maybe you’re right.”

                “I was joking.”

                “I know but you may be on to something.”

                They land in Arizona and go to their separate houses where their wives are waiting for them.  Nouno takes a deep breath and expresses, “Honey, we’re getting way too sloppy.  Thank God Matt and Damon took care of the cover up while we were talking with the targets.”

                “We keep saying we’re going to do better next time but we really don’t.  It’s almost like we want to get caught.”

                “Yea”

                “What are you saying?”

                “I don’t know.  I’m really tired.  There was a lot of travelling.  Just something to keep in mind I guess.”

                “Yea, once you sleep on it, I’m sure you’ll come back to your senses.”

                With that, Nouno realized that Abby wasn’t ready to stop.  The truth was that Nouno didn’t think he was either.  The point was that their routine was down so cold that they didn’t deviate from the plan when the situation may call for it.  The natural solution would be to only target one person but they felt a lot more sense of accomplishment when multiple people who don’t deserve to be alive were removed from the realm of the living.  The real question was whether they could stop if they wanted to.
