good way to end an arch
It's a good way to end a story arc. Since this is the most popular of the story archs so far, I'd say I'm content with what I have.

Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents.
