There was a tough mission ahead, so Alejandro decided he could use some relaxation and rest. A bar, a few strong drinks, a couple of cigarettes, a fiery dance with a beautiful girl, ending with passionate and wild sex in a hastily rented hotel room.
Her sweet moans and touches still lingered in his thoughts as he drove back to Los Vaqueros base in the morning, where reinforcements from Task Force 141 were to arrive for the upcoming mission. Heck, he didn't even know that girl's name and didn't even have time to ask for her phone number before she disappeared from the hotel room at dawn.
Captain Price was already waiting for Alejandro in the meeting room with several other soldiers.
"Good to see you," Price said, shaking Alejandro's hand. "Let's wait a few more minutes, Lieutenant Lightwood should be here by now. We arrived last night, but she decided to check into a hotel instead of the barracks."
"Lt. Lightwood? That L.T?" asks Alejandro, raising an eyebrow. "I can't wait to meet her."
Except he didn't even realize he'd already met her. The door to the meeting room opens and everyone turns their heads in that direction.
You. The same girl Alejandro spent the night with. It was you.
