The sunset gloomed in various colors of orange, red, and purple. A perfect moment for a special place. Evelynn had a bouquet of red chrysanthemums and marigolds in her hands and stood in front of the candle-lit stones.

   Una madre y un padre para Evelynn Escamilla Fujiwara

Evelynn was only 10 years old when her aunt broke the news that her parents had passed away in a car accident. She remembers the moment when her aunt broke down in tears when his son and his daughter-in-law passed away.

She sat on the backyard swings, her stuffed bunny gifted from her mother seated on the opposite swing. She saw her aunt's wet tears through the window as she held the house phone.

For a few days, she only remembers being in her room, looking at the photo frame of her and her parents. The big smile they all had. Her mother's long raven hair lushed through the frame and her father's tired green eyes filled with joy and happiness around his family.

Yet, at just 10, she realized she would never see her parents again...

She placed the red chrysanthemums in the empty vase between her parents' gravestones and surrounded their tomb with marigolds. 

A tear started to roll down Evelynn's cheek, but she quickly wiped it away with her hand. She began to walk away from the tomb but looked back for a silent farewell. As she left the cemetery, she walked into the Las Alams plaza to return to the hotel.

Walking back, she noticed a certain Scott attempting to flirt with a drunk lady, causing her and her friends to laugh at his broken Spanish.

She mentally rolled her eyes and looked around to find a man in a plain black balaclava mask looking directly at her. She stopped and looked at him, Ghost was his name, and started to walk again.

Her pace started to rise quickly. She needed to return to the hotel room to get ready to meet with Valeria. She was lost in her mind when she bumped into someone to her surprise, it was Rodolfo.

"Ay, lo siento-" he said, looking up to see it was her. "Oh! It's you!"

Evelynn gave out a small laugh, "We meet again."

"Indeed we do." Rudy smiled, "Heading somewhere?"

"Back to my hotel, I have done everything that I was supposed to do for today."

Rodolfo hummed and Evelynn looked at Soap who seemed to have gone into a problem with now the drunk lady shouting at him on the other hand Soap was terrified. "Seems that your friend has gotten himself in a problem." Rudy looked at where Soap was. "Mierda...", he murmured and made his way to Soap whilst Evelynn chuckled and continued to walk back to the hotel.

It was midnight and Evelynn was now dressed in her all-black outfit with her weapons, her iconic red coat, and her black mempo mask. Walking up to the entrance of the mansion where Valeria is temporarily staying since her last mansion has been burned into ashes to eliminate any potential information that would be useful for both Task Force 141 or Los Vaqueros.

The front gate was opened and she was greeted by some of Valeria's men who guided her to Valeria's office.

The office doors opened and Valeria was on a phone call but as soon she saw that it was Evelynn who was at the door, she immediately hung up and told everyone who was in the room to get out.

The doors shut and everyone was out, Evelynn took off her mask from her face, "Widow! Que maravilla that you got here safe."

Evelynn smiled, "Nice to see you too."

Evelynn sat down on one of the couches that was in the middle of her office. "We need to talk." Valeria looked at her, "we sure do."

"Where is he. Hassan."

Valeria picked up her drink of tequila, "Chicago."

Evelynn looked at her confused, "Chicago? How?"

"My men snuck him into the States and successfully made their way to Chicago with the missile."

Evelynn hummed. "It is going to be quite a lovely trip to Chicago." Valeria chuckled, "Quite lovely, but I am sure you can handle it, Widow."

"Evelynn." Valeria looked at her confused. "My name is Evelynn."

Valeria smiled at her, she was about to talk to her but that is when one of Valeria's men barged into the office door, both forced to be on full alert. "Lo siento jefe but Las Almas is being attacked! Those American PMCs are killing everyone in the town!"

Valeria and Evelynn both looked at the man, "What?!"

That is when Evelynn's phone started to ring, it was a phone call from Joi. She immediately picked it up. "Eve! Las Alams is being attacked by Grave's entire company. The twins and Divina have not been in contact and Catalina barely managed to escape and is now in a safe house, we need you to find the twins and Divina NOW!"

The phone hung up. Valeria looked at her, "Go Evelynn." Evelynn grabbed her mask and rushed out of the room, wishing that both the twins and Divina were alright and somewhere safe.
