Valeria was led into a cargo box that had a singular chair in it.

Graves: have a seat. Alright how do you two know eachother?

Alejandro: know is a strong word.

Valeria: strong words are important. Our words are our worth right?

Alejandro: go to hell you fucking sonuvabitch- I'm going to kill you

Soap: Alejandro!

Rudy: calm down commander.

Alejandro: yeah?! Yeah?! Go on. Tell them.

Valeria: I don't take orders anymore. Even the dogs in Las Almas know not to bark at me.

Alejandro: look at this- she's ex military. We served together.

My phone went off and everyone looked towards me. I was going to ignore it but then I saw who it was. I knew this was urgent.

Carmen: I have to take this. Continue without me.

I walked out of the cargo box and walked a little bit away.

Carmen: oksana. I really hope this is important.

Oksana: captain it sure is. We got a lead on Spence and Ethen. We're close to Jay but the rest are unknown so far.

Carmen: thank you oksana. I think you know where to send the info.

Oksana: of course!

Carmen: I need you guys to get to Mexico as soon as you can. There's two men here who I don't trust and I feel like I'm gonna know why soon. It's time for the Red Berets to connect again.

Oksana: Already on it cap. Love you!

Carmen: love you too.

Oksana is my main bitch. She is my best friends and we would both take a bullet for eachother. I know she always has my back.

As I reached the cargo box I heard Valeria yelling at Alejandro. When she speaks Spanish, it does things to my insides and I don't know what to do with those feelings. I walked back into the cargo box and stood in the corner.

Rudy: who was it?

Carmen: a friend.

Rudy: being secretive makes you look suspicious Carmen.

Carmen: I'm not the only one being suspicious.

I glared at Graves who was too busy with interrogating Valeria to notice my death glare.

Rudy: stop glaring.

Carmen: fine.

Valeria seemed to notice my change in demeanor to graves. She looked at me with one eyebrow raised as I glared at the back of Graves head. The interrogation continued for a long time and I'm going to be honest I was bored.

Alejandro: don't make a deal with her. It won't end well.

Alejandro stormed out and I stayed behind with the 141 and Rudy.

Graves: I want the missiles, I want the target, and I want Hassan. You've got 10 seconds or I'm going to show you the difference the military and me.

I snorted when graves said the difference between him and the military.

Carmen: Graves. If you hurt the girl, you will answer to me, and whatever crimes I commit against you, remember I have diplomatic immunity in 46 countries including the U.S.

Graves: ma'am are you associated with the drug lord.

Carmen: not in the slightest, but hurting her can easily be a war crime so I suggest you back away.

Graves: ma'am you will find that fear is not in my vocabulary.

Carmen: perhaps but it's in your eyes. Now back away. I will ask the questions from here. You're dismissed.

Graves: I don't take orders from lower ranks.

Carmen: I am a captain. Now go before my nice  limit runs out and I have to be a bitch

Graves stomped out of the cargo box like a toddler and soap, Rudy, and Ghost were still with me.

Carmen: usually I don't like pulling my rank but I needed him away from me before I killed him.

Rudy: Carmen I told you to play nice!

Carmen: and I did! That was needed! He was threatening her with empty threats and I won't have it.

Rudy sighed and I could hear soap clapping lightly behind me. I can tell soap doesn't like Graves either.

Carmen: here's the deal. If you've been affiliated with the Russians then you should know there tactics of torture are violent. Tell me what you know.

Valeria: I don't know the targets. I'm a courier. I move things. I can tell you where to find the missiles. When you return, I'll tell you where Hassan is. In exchange you will let me go and get the fuck out of Las Almas. Now leave-

Carmen: alright but until then you're staying right here.

All four of us walked out of the container that was holding Valeria. We all went to the briefing room and talked about the next mission.

Carmen: Alejandro. I'll brief. The missile is said to be on an abandoned oil rig that is now being used by cartel. We will deploy three strike teams. Ghost, Graves, and soap will deploy to the ship outside of the rig. Alejandro, soap, and Graves will engage the oil rig and disarm the missile. Your orders are to eliminate all threats.

Graves: what about you? What's your place in this mission?

Carmen: I will stay behind. I have Red Beret business to attend too.

Graves: Red Beret?

Carmen: I am a captain cabrón. I have my own force to take care of. Now get ready we leave at 1300.

Everyone: yes ma'am.

Everyone left and I know Graves is still mad at me for earlier. I don't regret what I did though. Even if it makes me look suspicious in his eyes.

I went to my own room to take all of the scar makeup off my body. It felt nice having all of my scars again. Usually people are ashamed of their scars, but I feel like if I don't have them then my pain wasn't real.

I dressed up in my black suit and put on my red beret patch on my right shoulder along with the Mexican flag on my left. I walked out of my room to meet up with the team that was about to leave in a heli.

Carmen: alright! You guys know your orders. Make me proud boys!
