(A convoy of Task Force 141, Los Vaqueros, and Shadow Company reaches the main gate of Los Vaqueros' base at night in the rain where some shadow guards wait for them)

(Soap, Player, Alejandro, Ghost, and Roach get out and approach Graves and his men)

Roach: (Visible confusion)

Alejandro: What's this?

Graves: This is the immediate future. Step away from the gate

Soap: What?

Graves: You heard me

Player: Why?

Alejandro: You're crazy, this is my base.

Graves: It's not a base. This is a sizable covert facility and I admire it- So, I'm taking it. You boys have been relieved. Thank you for your service

Alejandro: No, no, no, I don't take orders from you

Graves: Didn't Valeria say that? Now, that makes me wonder what else I don't know about your affiliation with a drug lord?

(Alejandro steps forward threateningly)

Alejandro: What the fuck did you just say to me, pendejo...

(Soap walks up to Alejandro and stops him)

Soap: You're out of line, Graves

(Graves points his finger at Soap)

Graves: Don't do that. Don't... do that. No one needs to get hurt here

Ghost: Are you threatening us?

Graves: Soldier, I don't make threats. I make guarantees. So, let's not do this

Soap: I'm calling Shepherd

Graves: General Shepherd sends his regards

Group: (WTF?)

Graves: He told me y'all wouldn't take this well

Ghost: He knows about this?

Graves: He's put me in command of this operation from here on out

Player: Are you saying Shepherd fucking ordered this?

Graves: Exactly. So, y'all need to stand down. It's time to let the pros finish this

(Soap and Ghost glance sideways at each other, knowing something's up)

Graves: And why the hell are we talking like this is some kind of a negotiation? It's not. I've got my orders and now you have yours

Alejandro: And who the fuck do you think you are, cabron? My men are inside!

Graves: I'm afraid not. Your men have been... detained

(Alejandro glares at Graves for a second but then launches himself at him)

Alejandro: Cabron!

(Graves and one of his men push Alejandro against a vehicle and restrain him with a zip tie)

Soap: Graves, what the fuck?!

(Graves and his men raise their weapons at Soap and fire. Soap dodges their gunfire and gets behind a shadow soldier, putting him in a chokehold and using him as a human shield)

(Ghost elbows a second Shadow behind him in the face and then uses his knife to stab a third Shadow in the neck before throwing that same knife into the fourth Shadow. Alejandro puts his restrained arm around a Shadow's neck)
