Mexico🇲🇽

We were in Mexico and Lalo was giving me instructions on where to go on where to find his house. There was a huge gate in front of the house with a security system. There were a couple of guards outside talking to each other as well. I was surprised. I had never been here before. I remember in the past Gus was telling me about this place, and how he wanted to take me here. Looks like Lalo beat Gus to it haha! But then again Gus was still upset about me talking to Lalo, but I was gonna have to talk to him at one point.  "This is my place! You like it?" Lalo said smiling like he always does. "Yeah..! It's nice." I said looking at him. "Come on! Smile! You're at my place!" I smiled at him. I was happy. "But y'know.. There used to be a lot of fools here guarding this place but. They kinda got shot by that shooting, so.." Lalo said under his breath. "What??? How many people are here now?" "Eh, not much anymore. However, there is someone I would like for you to meet! Come out to the back." "Alright..?" Lalo walked me outside to the back deck. There were quite a few people here though. He made it seem like there was nobody here. I suppose there wasn't much, but still. There were a lot of women and people i've never seen before. 

Lalo walked up to someone and gave him a hug. "HEEYYY! DON ELADIO!!!" Lalo yelled. "AH! LALOO!" Eladio yelled back. "Haven't seen you since that shooting! Glad to know you're still alive!" "Haha! right?" Lalo said happy. Eladio looked over at me. "Well Lalo, who's this pretty young lady? Finally got yourself a girlfriend?" Don Eladio said looking at me. "Close! Just a friend. Not my girlfriend. Her name is Camila, she works for Gus." "Wow, Gus.. Never would've thought a señorita like her would be working for the chicken man." Eladio said whiling whistling. I shook his hand. "Anyways señorita, the names Eladio." "It's nice to meet you." I said politely with a smile. "It's nice to meet you as well." He said.  "Puede hablar español señorita..?" Eladio asked. "Sí." I said. "Ah, wonderful!" He said happily. "Welp, I guess i'll leave you two alone. Have fun Lalo." "I'm sure I will." Lalo said laughing. 

Me and Lalo were walking down a path that lead out to the forest when Lalo came to a stop. "Have you ever been axe throwing?" He asked me. "Once or twice. I can't say i'm professional." "Would you like to try it with me? There's an axe throwing range up here." "Sure, why not." "Great!" He put his hand in mine holding it in his as we continued to walk up the path. We eventually made it there and it looked amazing. "Do you wanna give it a shot?" Lalo asked. "Yeah." I picked one up and threw it at the target. My aim was a bit off but it wasn't all that bad. "Nice! You have good aim." Lalo said. "Heh. Good one. I missed" I said jokingly. Lalo picked up an axe and threw it, he got it in the middle. "Ha. Beat that." After he said that we heard rustling in the grass behind us. Lalo looked around to see what it was. Turns out it was a guy. Looked like in his mid 20s maybe or younger. I don't know. Lalo knew exactly who it was. It wasn't the old kid he used to have before who was killed in the shooting. "What are you doing here Cabrón?!?" Lalo said angry. "You don't usually come out here sir." The kid said. "Yes, I do? Are you trying to tell me where I can and can't go??" "No!! Not at all Don Eduardo!" "iÁnimo cabrón!! iNo necesito que me supervises!!" Lalo said kind of mad. "Sorry Don Eduardo!" The kid ran away back to the house. "Interesting." I said. "Yeah, he's kind of like Tito, my old guy. To be honest.. I don't really like them both but oh well." Lalo said. "How about we do something else?" "Like what?" I asked. "Hmm. You'll see." Lalo said grabbing my hand and heading back to the house. 

We got back to the house and went inside. "Do you want to watch a movie?" Lalo asked. "Of course! I love movie nights!" I said happily. Lalo Smiled. As me and Lalo were preparing for the movie I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I glanced at it for a short moment and saw the number come up as "Los Pollos Hermanos". "Shit, not now.." I thought in my mind. I knew he had found out something. "Hey Lalo, i'm going to be right back alright?" "Sure! Where are you going?" "Just to the bathroom." "Alright." I went into the bathroom and answered the phone. "Yes?" I said. "Where are you right now." Gus said seriously. "I- uh- um-" I didn't know what to say. I knew if I told Gus I was at Lalo's I would be in mad trouble. "You're in Mexico aren't you. He took you." "How did you-" "I advise you to be on high alert when being there." "Sure." "I mean it." He hung up after that. "So weird.." I thought to myself. I opened the bathroom door and walked back out to the living room. "Did Gus call you?" Lalo asked. "You know you didn't have to lie and go into the bathroom to call him." "I know. I just felt awkward." I said. "Eh, it's fine. Let's just watch the movie! I got snacks!! Also, we have no dumbasses to bother us either." Lalo said sounding happy. "Right, haha." 

-With Gus and Nacho-

Nacho walked into Los Pollos Hermanos and went into Gus's office to talk to him. "What's up?" Nacho asked. "It's Camila and Lalo. He took her out to Mexico like he did with you." "What? why?" "I'm not sure. We'll find out sooner or later though." "I hope you're not planning another shooting out at that place again. This time you'll injure Eladio or Camila instead of Lalo." Nacho said. "I'm not planning on it. I just want to see how this plays out. Maybe if we don't interfere it will backfire on its own. There's a whole bunch of fools over there who know what would happen." "What does this have to do with me." Nacho asked confused. "You're close with Lalo and Camila. I would like you to keep an eye on them. See what they do." Gus said. "Alright. I can do that." Nacho said. "Great. You may leave."

Nacho was heading back to his car when he was suddenly stopped by Mike Ehrmantraut. "Varga." Said Mike while Nacho was turning around. "Gus wanted me to give this to you." "What is it?" "It's a tracker. He was going to give it to you before you left but he forgot." Nacho took the tracker. "I thought Gus said he wanted to lay low and just watch. Not track and watch their every move." Nacho added. "It's for Camila's safety and for ours really." "Where does he want me to put it when I get the chance? On Lalo's car? Camila's...?" Nacho asked. "Anywhere really. Wherever works to where Gus can watch them. Find a way" "Alright." Mike then walked away and Nacho got in his car and drove to his dads Upholstery Shop to help out.

-With Camila and Lalo-

We were watching the movie when Lalo put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. I knew what he was doing and I put my arms around him in return. "Qué pensaste hoy?" Lalo asked sofly. "Fue divertido. Qué piensas al respecto?" I asked. "Estaba bien." Lalo said. I turned to Lalo and gazed into his eyes for a short while before leaning toward him more and more kissing him. Lalo leaned toward my ear and said something i've never heard him say to anyone but his family. "I love you Camila." Is what Lalo had said to me. I was in shock, but also amused and happy at the same time. The only time I heard Lalo say "I love you" was to his uncle, Hector Salamanca. Nobody else. "I-I-I love you too." I said gently. "You should get some rest. It's getting late." Lalo said. "What about you?" I asked. "I don't sleep much. I don't really like it. I'll probably sleep for an hour or two that's it." Lalo said. "Oh alright. Goodnight." "Night."
