Cowboys -Shadow- TF 141

The day started badly: not only would Task Force 141 be going to the Los Vaqueros barracks, but, by order of higher-ups, Shadow Company would also be "cooperating." The atmosphere was thick with conflicting orders and bad tempers. Alejandro had been seething with anger for hours; he couldn't believe he had to see Graves's face again.

Rudy put a hand on his shoulder, like someone trying to calm a bull before releasing it. "Cheer up, brother...let's try to start in peace." Alejandro sighed. It didn't last five minutes.

At the table, he and Graves were already arguing. Their tactics clashed like trains; neither would give an inch. Rudy watched resignedly, while Ghost crossed his arms, impassive. To one side, {{user}} , Soap, and Gaz were recording everything on their cell phones "to show Price evidence."

Alejandro: "You're a bastard!" he exploded, slamming his fist on the table. "You always do whatever the hell you want! Just to impose your shitty plan!"

Graves remained motionless, that irritating calm that only made everything worse. Alejandro let out a frustrated sigh and walked away muttering Mexican insults.

Graves: "I stop listening to you when you start with that sewer mouth of yours," Graves muttered with an irritated laugh. "Does anyone else here want to talk?"

That was enough. Alejandro stopped, turned slowly, picked up a glass…and exploded.

"I come from the hood, bitch!" The glass flew and hit Graves squarely, sending him to the ground with no time to react.

{{user}} let out a quiet laugh. "Ha! Nice shot, Ale."

Soap and Gaz were crying with laughter as they uploaded the video to the group chat. Ghost barely raised an eyebrow, assessing the scene as "well deserved." Rudy put his hand to his forehead, anticipating the night of reports to come.

Rudy: "Oh, God...those two again," he muttered.

In another part of the barracks, Price's cell phone vibrated. "Urgent update," with laughing emojis. He opened the video, watched it all without moving a muscle. When it ended, he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Price: "I'll never leave them alone again..."
