We Who Serve

Chapter Fourteen

"El Casa de Sin Nombre?" Soap spoke as he looked at a building through a spotter scope. They stood on a rooftop a few hundred yards away from the building as the dark of the night gave them all cover. 

"No. One of his Lugartenientes." Alejandro told him as Grimes smirked.

"A cartel Lieutenant." Soap translated quickly,

"Picking up Spanish after all." She muttered with a chuckle as he shook his head.

"Agradable, hermano. Estás aprendiendo." (Nice, brother. You're learning.) Alejandro smirked at him as Soap dropped drop scope from his sight. "My sources tell me all the VIPs in Las Almas will be there tonight." Alejandro continued as he turned his head to look at everyone, "Some are invited, others are, umm..." 

"Volun-told?" Graves finished off his sentence for him, and Alejandro agreed. Will and Grimes stood off to the side, just the two of them watching.

"What's the meet about?" Graves asked him, and Alejandro just looked at him.

"It's about us," Grimes piped up from the back. They both had their hoods down, but Will had his mask on. Grimes was yet to get a replacement. Will's mask covered his lower face up to the bridge of his nose and was made from material. 

"Las Almas is burning, and they want to know who lit the fire," Alejandro explained as he looked at Grimes with a nod.

"Sin Nombre will be there, yeah?" Ghost asked quickly, not wanting to dally about any more than they already had. 

"No guarantees, but this is our best shot," Alejandro told him as he turned around to face everyone.

"Then we take it," Graves said as he stepped forward. Grimes clenched her jaw in frustration; he would jump in and say that. Will seemed to sense this and reached up to put a hand on her shoulder. 

"Control, Sister." He muttered to her as she released a shaky breath. Grimes wanted nothing more than to nail Graves to a wall, even if he did help them. She knew what he could do, and it didn't sit right they were working with him. 

"I got enough Shadows here to take over the whole damn country." He continued. Will squeezed her shoulder, knowing she was about to say something. This helped keep her from speaking out, saying something or doing something that could compromise the whole thing.

"I'd prefer if you didn't," Alejandro warned him. He felt off with Graves after Grimes's warning as well. 

"I'm just sayin'; one house shouldn't be a problem." 

"We need Sin Nombre alive." Soap countered back at Graves's statement. 

"Well," Graves sighed, defeated. Almost like he was itching to level the building with all the people inside. Even if they may be criminals, they were not the ones they were after. Not this time. "Then we need to meet him." 

"How?" Soap asked 

"We give them what they are looking for," Grimes said, stepping forward, followed by Will, "Intel."

"They want to know who is here. Let's tell them." Will countered back with a gentle shrug of his shoulders. "Grimes and I have done this kind of thing thousands of times. We go and give them exactly what they want."

"In person?" Alejandro asked as Grimes nodded at him.

"I like it." Graves nodded, "Get one of us inside. Find the boss. Roll him up." 

"And let me guess, you stay watch." Grimes gave this sarcastic smile to him as if she knew.

"And what the hell does that mean?" Graves asked her as she stepped to turn to face her.

"Oh, you know exactly what I mean." She fired back; Graves went to say something but was cut off by Soap.

"I'll do it." He said as Grimes turned her head to face him, surprised.

"You go in there, and they'll kill you, hermano," Alejandro told him in a deep voice.

"I'll take my chances." Soap said,

"Absolutely not. I'll go," Grimes shook her head through her hand out in a no motion. 

"They already know you because you've been here before. They don't know my face." Soap fired back at her, "We came here to stop a missile. Let's stop it." Soap told him all firmly. Grimes had never seen this side of Soap before. She smirked at his change in demeanour. "I'll offer intel for a meet with Sin Nombre. And if he's there, we pounce."

"infierno sí- Tienes pelotas, hijo de puta." (hell yeah- You've got balls, you son of a bitch) Alejandro smirked at him, "You make it in; you'll need eyes and ears. I'll go too." 

"I'll take overwatch." Ghost called out before looking at Graves, "Shadow circles the target in a helo."

"Rodger that." Graves nodded at his orders from Ghost, who turned to look at Will and Grimes. 

"What about you two?" Alejandro asked as everyone looked at them.

"We will do what we do best." Will nodded as he looked at Grimes, 

"We will see you inside." Grimes nodded to Soap with a smirk on her face. She was looking forward to finally getting back to hiding in plain sight.

"They are gonna want proof." Graves spoke out as he ripped off his patch from his vest and handed it to Soap. "Show 'em this." Soap bumped his fist off of Graves, and Graves punched his shoulder light before he turned around and began to walk away. He gave Grimes a look as she glared at him.

"Call me when you need me." He yelled, "Alright, let's gear up and get after it." 

"Asshole," Grimes muttered to herself as everyone began to walk away from the roof ledge. Will and Grimes separated from the others. 

"Just like old times?" Grimes asked as Will nodded back.

"Just like old times," He fired back. "Ci vediamo dentro, sorella." (I'll see you inside, sister.)

"Se mi vedi." (if you see me) Grimes smirked at him; it was like a game they played on the side. When they went undercover, they would always stay hidden from each other and their target. It made the whole thing a little more fun.

"Gioco su," (Game on) Will smirked back at her as they separated to ready themselves.
