Simon may be right when he talked about Venus one day, the Roman goddess of love and beauty compare Aphrodite. The boys were too flabbergasted when I revealed myself, with their mouths almost wide open which I most likely had to close one by one before they could focus theirselves.

It didn't took me too long to make my way into the lieutenants house, like I very much belonged there with the group of people whom are also invited.

Most of the Las Almas cartel are standing outside, guards with their guns hot as they searched me and they luckily didn't caught a very tiny com in my ear, whereas I can communicate with the rest of my squad, as well as in my very small handbag.

And the villa is as big as it was looking on the outside, knowing Soap and Ghost are taking overwatch while the Shadows are somewhere nearby.

They're planning on circling with their helicopter on the roof to eventually get ahold of Sin Nombre, if we find out who he is, and if he's even here. It's probably going to be chaotic soon enough.

However, the villa is packed with people, especially in the main room of the house, supposedly the living room but I don't know what it is really. It has a bar with a bartender, serving his specialties and there are probably so many rooms to even count on one hand!

Hopefully they're having a great time, but you can already see some of them are here for business. And because of their uniforms or dresses, you can definitely see whom are the VIP's of Las Almas like Alejandro told me.

It isn't really a party what Soap had organized in the base a few days ago, but more like a gathering, some of them talking with each other while enjoying a refreshment.

Maybe they all want to get ahold of Sin Nombre, some of them probably too cocky in wanting to go first. Eventually they're all standing here, putting up their fake smile.

In the meantime, Alejandro's also inside. I heard he has taken down a cartel member, taking his suit meaning he has to be here to eventually provide me a knife to defend myself if it comes to that.

"You inside sergeant?" I suddenly heard Graves in my ear while I already made my way towards the bar, because where else can I sit peacefully without being noticed..?

"Affirmative," I responded quietly, taking a seat at the bar which was very easy if I'll have to be honest; the dress is very easy to work with.

"Copy, wait for Alejandro. He's inside somewhere,"

"Rog," I tried to not make it too obvious while responding, looking like I am all alone while I'm
surrounded by these stupid VIP's whom got nothing to do with their lives.

In the meantime, I still heard some talking through my earpiece, but I wasn't really paying attention as I ordered something to drink.

Unfortunately, they didn't have what I was looking for, as I ordered the dog piss Alejandro offered me earlier.

"Un tequila para una mujer hermosa," (A tequila for a beautiful lady) The bartender smiled at me, while he offered me my drink.

"Gracias." I smiled, even though I don't like it so much; don't try to make that too obvious Louisa!

I silently observed the main hall, looking for any sign of Alejandro or other landmarks to focus on, but I am still seeing cartel guards wearing grey masks to protect their identity, and they are literally everywhere!

In the main hall where the gathering is, outside on the plaza or in the garden, and even upstairs. If I remember properly, the villa has like three floors or something, meaning there must be even more guards also taking watch over there.
