Santana sat on the ground, her eyes were rimmed red, they were puffy and there were tear stains on her face. She hadn't seen Alex since he had laughed taking the cell phone with him She had sat in sobs on the ground until she had cried her eyes out. She couldn't believe that her son was dead, she didn't want to believe it but she knew it was true, she knew it because she had heard the shot.

Santana wished she had never joined the Army, never agreed to stay in and make a career of it. Had she never joined the Army her family wouldn't be in this awful situation. She was to the point though that she was wishing that Brittany had never met her. She wasn't blaming Brittany for any of this, she was blaming herself, she was causing Brittany so much pain.

It was her fault that her son was dead, it was her fault that he daughter had lost a twin, her youngest son, an older brother. It was her fault that her wife was now not only distressed for her well being but now having to grieve for the death of her son, and plan a funeral. Santana wished that she had just died in the stupid helicopter accident like, O'Malley, at least then Brittany and Shay and Mike and Tony could have moved on. Now they couldn't because Santana was still captured, and now Mike was dead.

She couldn't take it anymore, she knew that she needed to find out exactly why the hell she was in this situation anyway. She promised herself then and there that the next time the bastard reared his ugly head that she would find out why she was hear. If not she would go all Lima Heights on his ass, no matter how weak she was right now, her sadness had now turned to anger and her rage was giving her strength.

She waited hours until Alex finally entered the room again, when he did she glared at him for a few moments before doing anything. He smiled at her.

"How are we feeling at the moment Santana, you look a little down." Alex said with a laugh.

"Why the hell am I hear, for God Sake tell me! You fucking kill my son, torture my family and my best friend, tell me why I am here!" she screamed.

"Well since you asked so nicely." Alex said. "First I want you to know that clearly I have shown you how easily I can get to your family. If you lie to me, Brittany is next. You are here because of what you saw, you saw something that you shouldn't have."

Santana sat there confused, she didn't remember seeing anything that she wasn't supposed to see. She searched Alex's face for any type of clue as to what was going on. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks, there was a reason that she had decided to call this man Alex, it wasn't just some name she had made up. His name was Alex, Alex Smith at least that is what she and Finn had known him as before he had just disappeared one day. He had been at military training with them, thats why Santana hadn't recognized him, his hair had been longer, and he had spoke with a perfect American accent.

"Alex." Santana breathed and then she knew exactly what she was doing here. "Why? We never even knew what it was that you did."

"Oh, you two were starting to put it together and I have been watching you both since all those years ago. I knew that you two were starting to put the pieces together, even if you didn't realize it and I couldn't have that, it would ruin everything, all of my hard work would have been for nothing. So I used one of my contacts and had him make sure that you and Hudson would be coming my way and that you two would be on that helicopter. I am a very smart man Santana, very smart. You do remember what you saw that day and if you think long and hard about it you will put the pieces together. Think Santana, think." Alex said.

Santana thought back to the day when she and Finn had last seen Alex, when he was posing as an American Army officer.

Finn and Santana were walking down the hallway of the main building on base. They were heading to the debriefing room, they were being deployed in a weeks time and were getting to know the details of their specific mission today.

"How did Britt take it?" Finn asked Santana as they turned the corner. "Rach took it well enough I guess, as well as you can take it ya know."

"Same as always, she was angry at first then sad, then she just kept hugging me, I had to pull myself out of her arms this morning so I could get into work, it was awful. I hate seeing her like that it kills me." Santana said as they continued down the hall "She also made me make the same promise she makes me make every time even though she knows there is no way of possibly being able to promise something like that. She made me promise I will come back alive, and I being the fool I am promised without even saying that it may not turn out that way."

"Don't beat yourself up San, its what she wanted and needed to hear and what you needed to say in that moment, Brittany knows what could happen, she isn't stupid."

"You don't need to tell me that she isn't stupid, I am the only one who hasn't called her that." Santana said sharply then tacked on an afterthought. "Sorry, stressed."

"Its fine, I know that I called her stupid in high school but that was a long time ago." Finn said.

They stopped talking and walked the rest of the way to the conference room in silence, though it wasn't the awkward kind that would have been there in high school. Finn was right, it had been a while since high school, a lot had changed, they had both changed. They walked straight into the conference without even thinking to check before entering, that is when they saw it. Alex Smith, another officer in their unit was in the room, maps and diagrams spread out all over the table. At first Santana and Finn had thought nothing of it, then Alex hurriedly put the documents away into his bag, though they were clearly the ones that were supposed to stay on base. Both Santana and Finn had intended to say something about the suspicious behavior that Alex had had, but they had both gotten caught up in their advancing deployment, their families and Alex had disappeared so they assumed he was doing something that was just a secret mission.

Santana and Finn had all but forgotten about the incident, they rarely spoke of it or Alex even. They had gotten so caught up in their own lives and had simply forgotten about Alex and the papers. They had mentioned his name maybe once or twice and the map thing maybe once or twice but they never connected it together.

Santana sat, she was coming out of her memory. She knew now what it was that she and Finn had seen. It had to do with the maps and diagrams that Alex had taken. She sat trying to remember what had been on the diagrams, then it hit her, she knew what it was and everything became clear to her.

"You are going to take over the base here."
