Hondo and the rest of 20-squad all geared up and headed out to Black Betty but stopped when they saw Amila leaning against the wall eyeing Boyle dangerously, her fists kept clenching.
Deacon looked to Hondo confused so they approached her,
"Amila? What is it? What's going on?", Hondo questioned standing in front of her. Amila shook her head holding onto her vest,
"You're not gonna like what I have to say", she said looking them in the eyes.
Hondo motioned for the others to follow as Amila pulled out her phone once they were out of DEA earshot,
"I called a buddy of mine who owed me a favor and he said the DEA aka Boyle is looking to hit up some big rival using Los Nueves as a pawn to go after who they're really looking for", she tells them but pauses as the trio from the tac squad passes by, side eyeing them.
"I don't like this one bit Hondo, trust me, they aren't telling us everything and I have a bad feeling we're gonna go down with it", she stated looking over to Boyle and his team. Hondo eyed Amila softly then nodded,
"I hear you loud Amila. We go in and see how this plays out. I want all of you to watch your back and each others. If this goes down south the DEA is gonna have a lot of explaining to do", they all eyed the DEA tac squad.

Amila was moving behind Hondo as they were making entry to one of the apartment buildings. She watched his back as Deacon watched hers. Her phone vibrated continuously in her vest but she couldn't look to see who it was but she had a feeling it was Marcos. She took notice Boyle had made it was next to her,
"Luca!", she heard Hondo call out as the gate was chained with a lock. Luca got it open and they go in eyeing every corner, watching above them as well.
Amila went ahead seeing a gated structure, she turned to Powell,
"Your up chica", she gave her a nod as Powell used the decode tech to get the lock open, it beeped red rapidly till it turned green signaling it was unlocked,
"Deacon, Street, this is you. Eyes open for lookouts", he ordered, "rest of you, on me".
Amila turned the corner carefully just as their comms went off,
"Hey, 30-David, heads up. These guys are dressed for battle", Deacon informs them. Hondo glances at Amila who gave him a nod, entering the building. Amila sees a guy, a look out and rushed forward grabbing him by the back of his neck, flipping him over her, arm locking him,
"He's yours", she eyed Red before taking her stand next to Hondo,
"All right, keep moving", he said, gun raised as they headed inside. Amila was on high alert, walking down a small flight steps, Hondo signaled them to stop and counted down. Amila got to the door and with one harsh kick, she got the door open,
"LAPD! Gun!", Hondo stepped in front of Amila, shooting one in the arm, the male grunts falling to the ground as the other put his hands in the air.
Luca bursted into the other room, gun raised seeing a pregnant girl packing quickly,
"Hands in the air! Come out!", he yelled just as his eyes grew wide in shock to see Marcos walking out with his hands raised,
"Don't shoot", he said.
Luca hesitated,
"Marcos! What are you doing here?", he asked but Marcos was speechless, his eyes searching the room,
"Hands over your head!", Red yelled, grabbing Marcos harshly and shoving him into the wall, he grunted,
"Easy, man. What the...", he groans as the guy puts the cuffs on tight with a smirk on his face,
"Stop resisting", Red snapped shoving Marcos's face into the wall.
Amila rushed in hearing everything and grabs Red by the back of his shirt and shoving him away from Marcos,
"Back off!", she snapped as Red glared angrily.
Muriel was stunned to see Amila in her SWAT gear,
"Amila", she whimpered holding her stomach in fear.
Amila gazed at Powell,
"Don't hurt her. She's pregnant", she ordered before turning to Marcos who had his head down in shame. She looked at Luca who was at loss for words on the situation,
"What the hell is going on Marcos?", she walked up to him, upset that he never told her the real reason he had to see Muriel. Marcos couldn't look her in the eyes, he felt disappointed with himself as he promised to always tell her the truth no matter what it was.
Luca grabbed Marcos by the arm and walked him out, passing Amila who was glaring at Red, as he whispered to Boyle. Hondo approached seeing the interaction and blocked her view of them,
"You were right!", he stated, keeping his voice low.
Amila gazed up at Hondo,
"I didn't know Marcos was doing this. He told me had to help his cousin", she sighed rubbing her neck, "not this!", she pointed around her.
Hondo nods giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze,
"Go with Luca, talk to him", he said as she walked out.

Amila exits the building hearing the helicopters whir from above, she gave a nod to Street, standing in the middle of him and Luca, her gaze set on Marcos who looking her in the eyes before looking to Luca,
"You know me and Shorty ran with the Perros. We ain't Los Nueves", he argued.
Luca sighed,
"You were in an apartment leased by Leandro Garcia, a known member. And we have a warrant. So where is he?", he questioned Marcos who sighed looking away, "where is he?", Luca repeated.
Amila stepped up to him, gripping his chin so that he faced her, her eyes had rage in them and that was the first Marcos had ever seen it was directed at him.
Street spoke up seeing how intense it was getting,
"Shorty says that girl is your cousin?"
Marcos gazed into Amila's eyes before he closed his,
"Muriel!", he stated, feeling Amila let go of his face,
"Only 18, with a baby on the way", he tells them, "the door you kicked down, that's her man's place. Leandro. She ain't seen him in two days, so she's tripping. We just came to help her get her stuff and get out of here", he said but a crash nearby caught their attention and Muriel's yells. Shouting could be heard so Luca and Street ran off to check.
Amila was stopped by Marcos as an officer grabbing his arm to put him in the squad car,
"I'm sorry Hermosa", he said as she gave the officer a nod,
"I tried to call you and tell you, once I found out what was really popping off. But you weren't answering your phone", he put his head down.
Amila walked up to him, her forehead to his chest,
"I'm still upset with you", she mumbled feeling his chin on her head,
"I'm sorry", he apologized.
Amila pulled back opening the car door,
"We'll figure this out back at HQ", she said as he slowly nods taking a seat inside but not before Amila claimed his lips with hers,
"Sit tight", she mumbled as he gave her a soft look, the door closing. This was definitely not what she had expected returning to SWAT would be like. She had no clue it was gonna be a lot more than it seemed and Marcos, Shorty and Muriel were smacked down in the middle of it.
