Chapter 17 - Mexico

Five more hours until the team's departure for Las Almas, Mexico. 

The Captain once again gathered the team in the debriefing room for one last call with Laswell. This time, all the teams are standing around the table rather than sitting.

You crossed your arms as your eyes trained on the screen, carefully listening to what Laswell might inform all of you. 

"I manage to dig down some of the commander's file, and he has some shady stuff, but it seems we can trust him enough. Just remember that at least on this mission we have to." Her tired voice can be heard from the call. 

You slightly feel guilty to make her tired herself just to listen to your suspicion. But then again, if you don't warn them about what will happen, who else? You can't afford to lose someone from your team.

Even though you know no one will die in this mission, seeing them hurt was enough to worry you much.

"Copy that, Laswell." Price replied, followed by nods by the others.

"I hope the best for you guys."

Just before Laswell was going to end the call, you spoke. "Laswell."

"What is it, soldier?"

You paused for a moment, quickly regretting what you were about to say, but you kept on your decision to say it. "Can you promise me not to go by yourself? No," You quickly shook your head as you corrected yourself. "I mean, please remember to make sure your hiding spot is good enough. Also... sometimes water can't be trusted." 

You tried your best not to frown at the thought. You won't let another slip up just for Ghost to pick up on you again. 

The older woman remained quiet for a second. "Okay, I'll keep them in mind. You too, be careful." 

Without waiting for you to reply, Laswell immediately ended the call. You averted your gaze to look at Price, giving him a nod, then walked out of the room. You felt the others' eyes on your back, but you tried to ignore them.

The back of the mini aircraft opens as the hot air of Las Almas gets in the way. Greeting the small group task on this site.

Price once again reminded the group to be careful and wished them good luck before he, Gaz, and Roach said their goodbyes to the rest. Telling them to tell the Mexican Forces a hi from him. 

You three slowly get out of the aircraft; Soap is the first, followed by Ghost. And you stayed behind to wave one last goodbye to the men. 

"Alejandro!" You heard Soap call out to someone.

"Sergeant MacTavish."

As you turn around to face the other group of men, your face lights up at the sight of the Latino man. You see him shaking hands with Soap. "Call me Soap."

Then Alejandro shifted his gaze to Ghost, who was standing behind Soap. "Lieutenant." He places both his hands on his back. "Laswell says they call you Ghost." The Colonel slightly smiled. 

Just before Ghost could reply, Soap beat him to it.

"Actually, I believe he prefers to beー"
