[center][h2]Mateo Secada Partycrasher - End Aral Sea, Kazakhstan[/h2][/center] Mateo had just finished off one of the lingering hostiles and went to reload when he heard the sweet voice of their pilot. Feeling relieved that they were getting out of this mess and when Queen gave the order to move to the bird. "Roger Queen," was all he said, and he got up and put his sniper away and brought out his submachine gun just in case, and quickly made his way to the V22. Covering who he could see and shooting down any hostiles that were close to him. By the time he reached the V22, it was about to leave. He turned off his cloak and took his spot on one of the seats. Now sitting down, and not knowing if his weapon was out of ammo or not, once it started to leave. Mateo breathed a sigh of relief and took off his helmet. Getting a look at the others, and he did not know how to feel since it seemed like some of the others got the worse of it. Like passed out from their wounds bad, like Samantha, as he can clearly see. While him not that bad and he is betting his cloaking is what saved him from getting wounded. Can't hurt what you can't see, he thought. Still, they got out despite it all, and now he chose to take a deep breath and lean against his seat with his eyes closed. Time for the long trip home.

Far From Home, it was called, and it was one of his new favorites. If only he gets more time to read and but with his job and routine. Still a nice escape from the world, especially from his job after a mission like the last one. At least they all got out and finished the mission. However, he will be happy if their next mission does not take a turn like what happened in that one. Either war, after finishing a chapter, did Mateo feel like drinking something. Something alcoholic and so Mateo with a smile on his face. He put his book away and headed to the rec room. When he arrived, he was at the tail end of Skye talking and saw that she and some of the others were in the rec room. Recovering no doubt with what happened to them. It does make Mateo lucky that he got out fine, but that was probably the cloaking, and he is not a frontliner like the rest of the team. But still, it did not make him feel better about it. So Mateo gave a short friendly wave to Skye and them before heading to the bar and after searching for a bit. Mateo picked out some beer can and took a sip, and made a small face which he found the beer to be tolerable. Addressing the group, "How are you'll feeling? Better, I hope."
