The Maite's Cleaning van slowly approached the US-Mexican border crossing. Six people were laying in a false bottom chamber below the cleaning van bed. They were scared, silent and praying.
Maite's parents had both been working class people. They had legally emigrated to the United States when she was twelve and settled in Laredo, Texas.
She was well versed in what her mother did because she had often accompanied her when she was younger. She decided that she would open up a cleaning service.
Cleaning provided a legitimate reason for her trucks entering Mexico and returning to the US. Smuggling soon provided the main income for the business. Her fortune seemed to grow exponentially. She now had been in business for many years. She had accumulated a very large sum of money, and she was no longer doing any hands-on work.
Then an angry mood was triggered by a call she received from her snitch informer, who called to let her know that the young woman who had been arrested and detained after she had been smuggled into the US had been sponsored and whisked away by a person named Brian O'Neill.
She was personally worried that the person who had been whisked away might give away her smuggling operational secrets.
She was not usually a violent person but now she was willing to eliminate both the person who could potentially expose her operation and the person whose sponsorship had rescued her.
After two failed attempts and killing the person pursuing her, Maite hired an assassin to kill Brian.
She was sure that she had found the solution to her problems. She was surprised to learn that her sniper had failed and had died in a hail of bullets.
She was now desperate and decided to go to her new hideaway in the belief that she would be able to hideaway.
Instead, she is whisked away from her hideaway and brought back to into the US.
She is brought to court and is surprised to be charged for money laundering and not paying her taxes instead of the attempted murder that she had been expecting.
Found guilty, she points to her orange suit and mouth the famous line, orange is the new black, to Brian as she is led out of court on her way to prison.
Brian and his partner Kekoa returned to Maui to celebrate the successful apprehension of a wayward Billionaire.
