I honestly don't even know what happened. I remember that I had entered Mexico with Chris than all of a sudden I get kidnapped and is taken to America again, being transported to the White House.

I walked with two security men and have me in power stopping handcuffs. I'm all old, wise and powerful, but I can't outthink a pair of power stopping cuffs. Maybe.

As I entered the room, I found the president who waited patiently for me along with an older Spanish man sitting in one of seats.

"Ah. Miss Park. Thank you for coming." Mr. President said as he nodded me at the door while his guards opened the doors.

"More like your welcome for not killing my escorts, being your men." I said staring at him emotionless. When one of my escorts when to take off my cuffs, I split my wrists from its holding position, breaking the metal around my wrists.

I handed him the last bits of the cuff before I walked in and sat down beside the elder Spanish man.

"Welcome to the White House. Good thing we got to you both when we did. Southern hospitality can be a bitch." Mr. President said as he poured himself a glass of liquor.

"Why are we here?" Machete asked for the both of us.

"Right to the point. I like that. No bullshit. I'm a bit of a no-bullshit guy myself. So, all bullshit aside-"

"Get someone else." Machete and I said in sync. I took my shot aside from Machete. I was craving a little alcohol myself.

"We need you, Machete. Toxicidad. We got a situation on our hands. There's a revolutionary south of the border named Marcos Mendez. You heard of him?" Mr. President asked the both of us before giving us a quick info page.

"He's crazy. He's out of his mind. He's got a mistake aimed at Washington. He says he's gonna blow us up if we don't invade Mexico, clean up the cartels and stop the violence they're spreading across the land." Mr. President said informing us a bit about what he'd do if we didn't stop him.

"What's that got to do with us?" Machete asked calmly and looked tired.

"The basic violation of sovereignty aside, we can't take the bait. However, you two know Mexico. Hell, the both of you are Mexico. Aside from Gasolina. A shame she's not here with us." Mr. President said making me hum and nod.

"Well, if you've done your research. You'd know she doesn't like being found unless she wants to be." I said given if he knew that or not.

"I have done my research. So, here's what I want you both to do. Head back south, find Mendez and just him out." Mr. President said making me scoff and break out laughing.

"Okay. Let me just sum this up in my language. You want me to find this Mendez guy, just to check him out and while doing that, I'd have to work for you along with a guy that I hardly know- no offence." I said giving a side eye to Machete.

"Non taken." Machete said looking at me.

"Yes. Because if what he says is true, you'd get to kill him." Mr. President said before taking his shot of liquor. Machete and I look at each other before turning back.
