Ex Drug Dealer Executed at High School Reunion
It reads like something out of a spy novel, but there was actually an assassination at a recent high school reunion. Steven Potter, who bears no relation to Harry Potter, was executed in grisly fashion by two cartel hit men at a high school reunion in Orlando, Florida.
High school classmates describe Potter as a laid back stoner with minimal ambition. He enlisted in the Marines before graduation, shipped out right after, and survived two tours in Iraq as a sniper scout force recon. He was embittered by the experience. The killing was apparently not the issue. It was the low pay. Why should Cheney and Halliburton make billions of the carnage, while the grunts doing the wet work made pennies?
Potter began dealing cocaine. He fronted Mike "Mako" Giovanni a kilo, and when he didn't pay on time and tried to flee, Potter clipped him in a local Irish Pub. A cartel member saw the ballsy hit, and recruited the ex-Marine. Potter became a narcotrafficker and hit man who handled the tricky wet work.
He botched a hit, accidentally killing the wife of a man he'd been sent to kill. Potter didn't know that the man was the husband of the Don's favorite mistress, who he was having offed so she could service him sexually with greater frequency. She didn't die immediately, but was laying bleeding to death slowly. Potter was depraved, and raped her as she died.
The Don despised the husband. He had a surveillance camera installed in the house to watch the murder. When he saw the rape he flipped out, and was tempted to kill Potter. Except he remembered all Potter had done. He agreed to let him live and leave, so long as he never dealt drugs again.
Potter left, but was soon poor again. He began dealing drugs. The Don found out, and ordered Potter's death for breaking his word.
Potter laid low for years, but decided to attend his reunion even though he know the Cartel might whack him. He would risk dying to see his old high school love. He had enlisted the day after she told him her father would never let them be together. She had married, but recently divorced. Risking the reunion was stupid, but holing up for years had made Potter lonely. Better to be dead than wonder each day about his lost love. His first and only love.
Potter met his old flame, told her he loved her, and she said the same. He told her they had to leave immediately. She asked why. He said he'd tell her later, she had to trust him. She said she did. Though confused, and frightened, she agreed, and kissed him. Bystanders grew misty eyed.
Two assassins were at the reunion pretending to be classmates. They opened fire with Uzis as the reunited couple kissed, and then made a hasty exit before the cops descended.
