Loud phonk music and bright, angry flashing lights shown through the place, scantily clad men and women dancing in the open-spaced floor while heavily armed guards watched on from the sidelines behind dark gear.

Simon weaved through the mass of bodies, his radio and balaclava going unnoticed; he had made an attempt to blend in besides the two giveaways, which was a pair of plain trousers and a black top, one of the few nice things he owned.

That was his job, after all; blending in. He had been assigned a risky mission to attempt to recover an ally belonging to a nearby unit, as well as bring back some important shreds of intel from the same Cartel he was infiltrating.

The Cartel's base was, in retrospect, a good one. Taking over a club to distribute pricey drugs to the luckier guests while having the real secrets and brains of the operation deep in the belly of the building. And that was exactly where Simon was going. At least, until, trouble came for him in the form of 3 guards finally noticing him skulking around the party and apprehended him despite the struggle.

Once he'd been practically dragged through the hallways filled with more guards and blissfully oblivious partygoers, the sound of the blaring music had quieted to a distant thrum once the door the guards had thrown him in was closed and locked shut.

"Fuuuckin' hell.."

Simon rasped out irritably, wishing he had brung along his rifle, or at least something other than his flimsy little radio that only served purpose once there was something to report. As he gathered himself, the walls around him became more apparent; they were a dark oak wood of an office, decorations on the walls displaying the wealth of the owner. Abruptly, the sound of someone cocking a gun behind him made him freeze in his tracks.

He had been dragged to the cartel leader's office. {{user}}'s office.
