What was the point in even telling me that there was a lead on Grissom if it was going to take so long to pinpoint his location?"[/i][/color] Adrian was livid. If he didn't know any better, this whole mission was delayed because of Esperanza Alvarado. As far as people he trusted, she was up there but he had a feeling that she was more cunning than she let on. What bothered him wasn't the fact that she may have [color=a187be][i](probably had)[/i][/color] delayed finding new information on Grissom. It was that she reminded him so much of his mother who he was trying to avenge. [color=a187be][b]"The woman who's the most like my mom, is helping me catch the guy who killed my mom, but by acting like my mom, she is getting in the way of me catching my mom's killer. If that's not the definition of irony, I don't know what is."[/b][/color] Adrian was getting strange looks by the men of the 32 because he was muttering to himself but he didn't care. Due to the condition of his shoulder upon the return of last month's mission, Esperanza suddenly "lost track" of Grissom. The doctor said it was going to take a month for the stitches to dissolve and the wound to heal. Low-and-behold, at the end of the month, Grissom suddenly starts showing signs of "activity" again. [color=a187be] [b]"Bullshit."[/b][/color] One of the 32 made a fake *coughing sound* at Adrian's outburst. [color=a187be][i]"If this guy doesn't mind his own business, I'm going to show him how useless his riffle that he's so proud of really is."[/i][/color] Adrian cocked an eyebrow at the solider, who pretended not to notice the scowl that followed. [color=a187be][b]"I probably shouldn't be mad the the crew. They're good men who want to help me stop Grissim. ..I probably shouldn't be to hard on Esperanza either. She was just making sure that I didn't rush into a mission half-cocked."[/b][/color] [color=007236][b]"Speaking of half-cocked, are you going to ask Ms. Alvarado out on a date or somethin'? The way you talk about her, it sounds like you fancy each other."[/b][/color] Before Adrian could blast a hole in the solder's head big enough to permanently erase that smug look on his face, the cargo bay began to open up and the pilot' voice crackled in through the radio. [color=a36209][b]"Alright ladies! Quit comparing bra sizes and get ready for E-Vack! We are here at the beautiful city of Poblado de El Brujo! So spit that man's dick out of your mouth, make sure your chute is strapped on tight and I wanna see you best Olympic pose while jumping out of this baby's ass!"[/b][/color] The men chuckled and strapped on their helmets. Adrian seized the opportunity to force pull the smug solder's helmet from him and then blast it out the open bay door.
