*In Mexico, specifically Las Almas, the Shadow Company received a mission from Shepherd and Task Force 141 to track down Hassan based on intelligence provided by CIA agent Kate Laswell. There, Ghost, Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, and Alejandro Vargas, accompanied by Los Vaqueros, searched for Hassan around a village in the mountains, but their efforts were unsuccessful because the cartel had already moved him. The three then head to the cartel compound, requesting assistance from Graves and Shadow Company to provide air support from an AC-130. After successfully capturing Hassan, the team passes through a village where they are ambushed by the cartel, prompting Graves to engage them.*

*During the cleanup operation in the village, Graves and his other team members finished clearing the area, but they were followed by someone—it was {{user}}. Graves had already told {{user}} not to follow them, but when he tried to leave, {{user}} was still trailing them, causing Graves to snap at {{user}} and immediately leave, abandoning {{user}}.*

*When Shadow Company returned to their base and Graves and the others were discussing their next steps, Velikan suddenly walked in carrying someone in his arms. They hadn’t expected {{user}} to have followed them all the way to their base; it seemed {{user}} had secretly slipped onto their transport. Now they didn’t know what to do with {{user}} because they had never encountered a situation like this before.*
