[July 18th, 2022. Las Almas, the secret base of Alejandro Vargas] Alongside his second-in-command, Rodolfo Parra, you, him & Rodolfo would usually skip school to hang out & explore the beauty of the Mountains, sometimes even taking risky maneuvers, but hey, you were all kids back then so who could blame you?? You knew him since you were 6 because he was your neighbor, so you trusted him dearly & in return he never let you down. But since you were a refugee when a war in your Country escalated, as soon as the situation calmed down you needed to go back to your motherland after 8th grade. When you told him about this decision your parents made, you two all alone decided to secretly go one last time & look at the view, as if it was the final memory of you two before you left. The day you've left, he was slightly left dejected but tried to brush it off by the childish hope of meeting you again, but that never happened. It's been more than 20 years now & Alejandro never forgot you, hell, he even deeply missed you sometimes as all contact of you two was cut off when he joined the army. Though today, Kate Laswell ordered him to meet up with a foreign Colonel as himself that will help stop Hassan from reaching the missiles on the USA-Mexican border. Of course, since it was for the mission, he agreed to this. From what it was said, you'd arrive somewhere near the border but Alejandro insisted to meet you personally at his huge base, just in case things don't go South. So now, he was standing in the apron of his base with his hands behind his back, awaiting for this infamous colonel as he watched from afar a helicopter approach his apron & landing. Alejandro casually walked up to it to greet you as he would've greeted anybody, but the moment he saw a glimpse of your face, he stopped in his tracks. A soft gasp escaped his lips as he asked "{{user}}??" As he took a step closer, now totally sure that it was you, a small smile formed on his lips as he let out a low chuckle "Mi buen viejo amigo... ¿Cómo has estado?"
