Elena thought back on her call with her older, she sighed. She heard humming, "Aye, taking on a habit I see, loved the masterpiece by the way." Elena said as Dani approached her. "Figure you would." Dani said. "He's over here." Elena said as she and Dani approached Benito. "Hey Benito..." Elena called out and he turned towards the duo.

"Oh Elena, Let me guess, Clara Garcia talked you two into this. She even had us fishers hooked on her Libertad nonsense. Convinced us to help her little invasion of Santuario, Lost five of my best. Now Clara calls me begging for boats, more recruits, pfft. I'm pirate first, fisher second. Thank the blockade for that. We use out boats to pull fish from the sea and we get people and contraband past the army bur El Presidente tightened his grip. The new comandante, Rosario has locked down all the fuel to keep it out of Libertad's hands. Murders anyone who dares get near it. Clara wants us to help Libertad? Take back that refueling station, Kill Rosario. Help put food back on our tables." Benito explained.

"Well you got yourself a deal." Elena said. "Suerte, señora and compay." Benito replied.

"Well there's two places she could be..." Elena said to Dani as the walked away. "Dani and Elena, the only thing better than a guerrilla , is a guerrilla with a nice ride." Juan responded. "You want us to steal one? Been doing that since I was a kid." Dani said. "And like that we are more a like." Elena said to Dani. "You're in the big leagues now, you need a car, just call for one. I'll have a friend bring it right to you." Juan explained to Dani. "Friends?" Elena questioned. "Gracias, but you don't have any friends, Juan." Dani said. "There's two of you... Just shut up and call for a car, Dani." Juan said, sternly.

Dani called for the car, it arrived. The duo hopped into the car. Elena was just in awed by it. "Juan, this is a nice car." Dani told him. "That's not a car, Dani. That's a 1956 Beaumont Valentina, she's a work of art, just like me, except I don't have a ram welded to my chassis to fuck up anyone who gets in your way." Juan explained. "You're definitely one of a kind." Dani said, Elena nodded. "Haha now go get those fascists, tiger." Juan said.

Dani looked over at Elena, "You have any ideas to look first?" Dani asked. "There's a place, not too far from here, I say we park the car near by and hide out on the cliff side, scope the place out." Elena explained. "You think she's there?" Dani asked. "Good possibility then again possibly not, doesn't hurt to check it out anyways but we need to be cautious, she's definitely not alone." Elena replied. Dani nodded.

As they were heading to the cliff side, "Dani and Elena, I hear you two are taking care of a little problem for Benito." Juan said to the duo. "Yeah, we're going to pay his friend Rosario a little visit." Dani replied. "Just be careful, She's not going to be alone, Do some scouting before you two pull the trigger, Remember, Rule #9, right tool for the right job." Juan said. "Rule #10, shut the fuck up." Both Dani and Elena replied. "You're adults and can make your own decisions. Spread your wings and fly, little birds." Juan said.

Dani scoped out the area with his phone, while Elena spotted the Comandente through the scope of her gun.. "Well well well, there's our little Comandente." Elena said. Dani looked at where Elena was looking. "How do you want to do this?" Dani asked. As the Comandente Rosario was walking in front of the alarm. Elena pulled the trigger, which was silent taking out both Rosario and the alarm. "Just like that... still got it." Elena remarked.

"(Shit) nice shot." Dani said. "Thanks..." Elena said as she stood up from her spot. "That takes care of Rosario, Adios asshole." Dani responded. "Now to.." Dani started. "Take back that fuel depot from these (Assholes)." Elena finished his sentence.

.........

"Dani and Elena, where are you?" Clara asked as the duo heading to the destination by horse. "Heading to the fuel depot, Benito wants us to take it back from the army." Dani said as Elena tighten her grip. "It's an FND base now. Dani, the army has bases all over Yara. We want freedom? We need to break their grip on the Island." Clara explained to Dani. "We'll do what we can, Clara." Dani said.

Dani noticed her grip. "You alright?" Dani asked. Elena shook her head. "Oh goodness.. I didn't realize, sorry about that. I was just thinking about things, thinking about my siblings." Elena said as she was about to let go. Dani squeezed her hand softly. "If you need to anything, you can always speak to me about it." Dani told her. "Gracias..." Elena said as she squeezed his hand back softly.

They both looked ahead, Dani hopped off first, then helped her off. Then hid away and examine the base. "When need to secure the gas, but our best bet to take out the alarms." Elena said. Dani saw the sniper, "But we need to take out the sniper as well." Dani added. "Silently, taking out the rest of the guards... took my advice, like to see it." Elena said.

Elena took care of the alarms and started taking care of the fuel. Dani took out the sniper then started the guards one by one.

Elena finished the last one, Dani approached her. "That the last one?" Dani asked. Elena looked up and was about to replied, then became alert when a guard was approaching Dani slowly.

Elena signaled Dani to duck to which Dani did, Elena quickly pulled out her knife, tossed it which slammed into the soldier's skull, he dropped to the ground. "(Fuck me.) Nice.. that's definitely the last of the guards." Dani said. "Which means the base now rightfully belongs to Libertad." Elena said.

...........

Dani and Elena was leaving the base, Dani contacts Benito. "Ok Benito, Rosario is dead and the fuel is flowing again." Dani said. "Si, carajo! I admit I got my doubts about Clara but I never doubted the both of you, especially Elena there." Benito said. "I know a thing or two about looking out for your own." Dani told him. "Tell Clara I'm heading to her camp, she's got out boats and our support. Gracias Elena and Dani." Benito said before disconnecting.

"Clara, Benito's back on your side, He's on his way to you right now." Dani told Clara. "Shit Dani and Elena, gracias, now you two get your asses back to camp, it's time to get off this island." Clara said. "Oh hell yeah!" Elena exclaimed. "Just remember our deal, I've paid my rent and then some. One of those boats has me sailing to Miami." Dani said. "I keep my word, Dani. How about we change history first?" Clara said before disconnecting.

"Set on leaving for Miami I see?" Elena questioned, Dani looked back at her. "It's a possibility, to be fair I don't know." Dani replied. "What would your purpose be?" Elena questioned him. "Who would want me to stay in Yara, I lost both of my best friends, I'm alone." Dani said. "You have me... Dani when I came here, I was alone, at first I shut everyone out, but to this day, I don't really have a best friend.... but you have me." Elena explained. "We've only know each other for a week now." Dani said. "Yeah... but Lita was right about one thing, being around you, it's great, I can't convince you but saving Yara with you... would be the greatest adventure yet." Elena said, which made Dani smiled a bit at her.

"I'm piss Lita didn't tell me about you sooner." Dani said, Elena chuckled. "I bet she had her reasons but it does have to do with the struggle I dealt with when I came to Yara, but I won't lie, I wish met you sooner." Elena said. "Well...oof.... damn... enough with the sap, let's get back to camp and then cause some fucking chaos." Elena added on. "I like the sound of that." Dani said.
