Chema finally passed his SERE, he was now ready to be recruited by a Seal Team. His specialty: military dog handler, his K9 was a Belgian Malinois named Phoenix. Both of them were inseparable since Phoenix was born and was assigned to him.

-You're nervous?-he asked his dog who barked in answer.

-Me too, but I'm sure we can do it.

-Alvarez-a masculine voice said from the corridor.

Chema got on his feet and saw Master Chief Sitka Leavey, known as Bravo 1, walk towards him.

-Master Chief Sir-he said as he saluted Sitka.

-Relax kid, follow me.

Chema followed Sitka till the war-room, there Sitka opened the door and let Chema and Phoenix enter first. On the war room was the rest of Bravo team: Denahi Leavey, Bravo 2, the medic, Kenai Leavey, Bravo 3, the fire worker and interpreter, Koda Leavey and Bucky Barnes, Bravo 4 and 5, the snipers, also there was Atka Harvey, leader of Alpha team and a big and strong Afroamerican man known as Commanding Tug Mathews.

Sitka stood by Chema's side with his hands on his back.

-Gentlemen, I present you our new Bravo 6, José-Maria Alvarez. Now we have finally a dog squad.

Chema looked nervous around him, he felt shy being the center of attention. Something that didn't pass unnoticed between Bravo.

-Hey, little rookie looks nervous-said Koda.

-How old are you?

-21 as Bucky.

-Well I might be the rookie but I'm four years older than you.

A deep oohhhh was heard on the war-room.

-He returned it to you little brother-Kenai.

-Is it just a coincidence that four of you have the same last name?-asked Chema

-Nope, it isn't-Denahi-You see José-Maria...

-Chema, call me Chema.

-Okay...Chema, Sitka, Kenai and Koda are my brothers of blood.

-So this is some kind of family business?

-Yeah-Sitka-Kind of.

-And who is he?-asked Bucky referring to Chema's dog.

-This is Phoenix, She, is my best friend. She's a detection, rescue and attack dog.

-Wow, three for the price of one-said Atka impressed.

-I know, I have her since she was born.

-That long?-Kenai-How old is she?

-Two years old. She's so special, right Phoenix?

Phoenix barked in answer, so Chema started to scratch her by the sides.

-Who's my good girl? Who's my good girl?

...

The team was on the bar close to the base, celebrating the arrival of Chema.

-So Chema-Bucky-What are your origins?

-Mexico, and yes, I might be white, have dark brown hair and eyes but still I'm Mexican. And I'm proud of it.

-I completely understand you, you see, I'm from the same village than Koda and his brothers. And people thinks I'm not because I'm a blond, blue eyes guy. From my mom's side.

-That's why I hate stereotypes-Koda

-Same here bro-said Chema putting his fist with Koda's.

...

-Damn, I forgot my jacket.

It was late night, Denahi went to the cages to pickup his jacket. But he didn't expect that Chema was still there, so when he opened the door he saw the rookie was getting dressed since he had take a shower.

-Woah!-said Chema covering his private area with a towel.

-Oh my gosh I'm sorry!

Denahi faced the wall.

-Okay you can see now.

He turned around and saw Chema's naked torso. He was a strong young man, his muscles were like Denahi's and on his right thorax was a tattoo of a sharp, his left shoulder had a wolf head howling.

-Sorry, I just forgot my jacket.

-Sure-said Chema as he putted on a black t-shirt.

-So, what were you doing?

-Just took a shower before going home. Phoenix, come on.

Chema and Denahi were leading to the parking lot till they got at Chema's truck.

-Well, then I'll see you tomorrow-Chema

-My brothers and I are going to watch a movie now. Wanna come?

-Thanks but I have stuff to do at home, maybe other time.

-Sure, so...welcome to the team.
