The Notebook of Carlos Moore

There is reasonable intelligence that the MDO are buying up hazmat suits and antivenom. It’s being kept under wraps so DHS don’t bust them on terrorist activities, although I don’t see the difference. If they’re working on setting up a superlab in Sonora, best case scenario DHS takes away the toys, makes some arrests, and stops the MDO from setting up the lab. Worst case scenario, the MDO get to keep the gear but know that DHS is watching, which will make them be more careful and put a crimp in their operations. I’ve considered dropping the dime to DHS, but it would mean burning a source. I’m not ready to do that yet, even if it’s a source I don’t entirely trust. Will continue to investigate and see how it plays out.

I know the antivenom can be used to treat meth lab workers who are exposed to toxic chemicals, but part of me wonders if the suits and the pharma aren’t part of a plan to explore the area where the drug mules were found. Hazmat suits would go a long way to mitigate exposure to snakes and scorpions. It’s a hunch, but not a strong enough hunch that I’ll risk going back there soon.
