The early morning sun began to rise in Las Almas, giving a comfortable warm weather. Ghost and Soap were on their way to meet back up with Alejandro near their gate where multiple cars were parked and ready to leave.

More people started to gather outside and made their way over towards the team. Not everybody had met yet so Alejandro used this time to introduce his second in command Rudy before gesturing to get inside the vehicles so they could take off.

The team drives through the city on their way towards a cartels safehouse where Hassan had last been seen. On the way over, Alejandro tells them about the city and about el sin nombre after driving past one of his warnings. 

After a short drive they arrive at the village across the river. They waited at the gate for everybody to gather before entering the village in silence, the people in this village were working for el sin nombre and wouldn't hesitate to shoot.

They moved up further into the village, while making quick work in killing any hostiles that were in their way. Once they reached a the main big white building in the back, they stopped. Lot's of people were inside, all of them shooting recklessly at the team.

After cleaning up the house, they pushed up the stairs towards what seemed to be a bedroom. There they found one of Hassan his coats hanging around the back of a chair, some paperwork still laying on the desk in his signature flag pinned against the wall. He was here, and from the looks of it they must have moved him pretty recently.

The sound of vehicles approaching, made the team move up towards the windows to see five armored trucks coming closer. Soldiers came running towards the building, their guns pressed tightly against their body.

"Good we have back up."

"Negative, they are working for El Son Nombre, they are here to protect Hassan." Alejandro explained before taking his own gun and aiming it towards the window.

"You want us to engage the Mexican army?!" Soap asked shocked but followed his movement.

The rest of the team quickly took cover behind a wall next to the window, staring outside while the army came closer. Once they got close enough Alejandro started to fire at them and the rest soon followed after him.

Grenades were thrown into the building and Alejandro, Soap and Ghost fought off the army while los vaqueros made their way outside through a window at the back of the building that was leading towards a mountan. Once they were all clear, the team followed behind them and they ran down the mountain, trying to escape the army who were now running after them, hunting them like one does it's prey.

They continued to make their way down the mountan while still having to fight of the army, losing a few good men in the fight. They came to a stop when they reached the end of the road. 

"You lead us to a dead end mate." Ghost spoke once he saw that there was no way to go.

"From here we jump!" He shouted to the team while he took a few steps back before running towards the edge to jump off, falling in the water beneath them.

The rest of the team followed quickly after him and with the help of Graves they were finally able to escape the army that has been following them all around.  Ghost, Soap and Alejandro found a vehicle and they went after Hassan. The Mexican cartel was escorting him to a new safe place so it was the perfect time to stop them.

Alejandro was driving them to a compound that was located on what he liked to call cartel land. Graves and his shadows used their heli to secure the area while the team moves through the field and into the main building to go after Hassan who was moving with an armed guard.
