Flashback
We see Alucard and Integra sitting across from Sister Yolanda and Walter who both had a cup of tea in hand, Seras was in the background helping the Lagoon Company move a bunch of crates into a trailer that was attached to their company car.
Yolanda: I've got a job for you Mr.Alucard.
Alucard: Alucard is fine, no need to add the honorific.
Integra: What is this job exactly and why only him?
Walter: Sir, me and you will be handling a different matter when Alucard is off on his quest.
Yolanda: Now, your job is to escort the Lagoon Company into 'Commonwealth' where they'll be making a delivery of highly classified and customized weapons that Balalaika specifically requested they be delivered within the day without any problems.
Integra: How much are you paying him for such a risky operation?
Yolanda: We'll talk money once the job's done, so for now all you need to know is that you have to keep everything from going to shit.
Alucard: Alright, just remember that deal you made us when it came to giving us a discount on your weapons.
Yolanda: Trust me, I'm not going to mess around with the new boss of the Colombian Cartel.
Walter: I almost forgot your their new boss, I'm guessing you'll be making some changes once you return?
Alucard: Most likely but for now I just need to know how they do things before seeing what I need to change.
Seras: Everything's loaded!
Seras shouted from behind, they turned to see that the Lagoon Company were already in the car waiting for Alucard, so he stood up and said his goodbyes with Integra being a little worried about his wellbeing.
Integra: You better come back alive.
Alucard: Of course I will.
Integra: And don't let Balalaika get to you, that woman is quite crafty.
Alucard: I'll keep that in mind.
Integra: Good and once you return, we might have a guest that we might be able to convince to form an alliance with us.
Alucard: Then I'll trust your instincts in negotiating proper terms for the alliance.
He waved her goodbye and walked to the car where Revy jumped out and allowed him in, they revved up the engine before taking off to deliver the weapons to Hotel Moscow. Integra watched the car disappear over a hill and hoped everything would go well, she walked back to Walter and Sister Yolanda who watched the scene in amusement.
Yolanda: Your really getting attached to him aren't you?
Interga: N-No I'm not, I'm just making sure he, um....he...
She trailed off with a her cheeks slowly turning red which made Walter chuckle at his masters shyness.
Walter: It's alright Sir Integra, you don't need to explain yourself.
Integra: Thank you Walter.
Walter: Pleasure, now what we're going to do is set up a meeting regarding an alliance you and Alucard can form with a very skilled man who has a lot of connections.
Integra: Mr.Chang.
Yolanda: The boss of the Hong Kong Triad stationed here in Ithcona, are you sure your not just grasping at straws?
