Chapter VIII
Bullets and roses

We were back to Las Almas now, back to the hot weather and the Hassan related missions. But I missed this base. For a few months, this place was home, and made me realize...I don't miss the one in London as much as I missed this one, and this is seriously worrying me.

I was in the common room, watching some crappy tv show. Couldn't understand much of it, since it was in Spanish, but I wasn't really  interested in it anyway. It was just a way of spending time.

I felt someone sitting next to me on the couch, so I turned my head, only to see Rodolfo, waving at me.

"Oh, hi there." I said, turning back my head to the tv.

"Hi, I actually came to ask you something."

"Go on."

"Alejandro may or may not have sent me to ask what's your favorite food and drink."

"Ah, sweet. Why does he need this kind of information?" I asked curiously, as I turned back to face him.

"I don't think I'm supposed to tell you." He said with a smile "but I'll do it anyway. He's organizing something. I think he wants to ask you on a date or something."

I couldn't help myself but smile at the though.

"I like spicy food, with meat, like chicken or beef, or anything really. And as for alcohol, Wine, rose, no water."

"Got it." He said as he took out his phone, texting someone, who I could only assume it was Alejandro. "Favorite flower?"

"Black roses."

"Oh that's an interesting one. Thank you BB."

"No worries. Although I'd love to know what he is organizing. He seems like he'd have fancy dates."

Rodolfo just got up, shrugging.

"Thats one thing I can't tell you actually, mostly because I dont know myself." He said with a smile, leaving me alone again.

e were on the roof of a building, Soap was looking through his scope at a luxurious villa, while me, Ghost, Alejandro and Graves were standing quietly behind him.

"La casa de Sin Nombre?" Soap asked quietly.

"No. One of his Lugartenientes."

Soap turned to Graves, giving him the scope to look through it as well.

"A cartel lieutenant."

"Buen hermano. Estás aprendiendo. My sources tell me all the VIPs in Las Almas will be there tonight. Some are invited, others are, umm..."

"Volun-told...?" I asked, crossing my arms at my chest.

"Yes."

"What's this meeting about?" Graves asked, letting the scoop down.

"Us. Las Almas is burning, and they want to know who lit the fire."

"Sin nombre will be there, yeah?" Ghost asked turning to look at Alejandro. We were all looking at him now.

"No guarantees, but this is our best shot."

"Then, we take it. I got enough Shadows here to take over the whole damn country."
