30th October 2022 03:34:45 HRS El Paso, Texas, United States

With the intelligence that Bishop and Alejandro received from the CIA, the plan was to trap Hassan between the Mexican and American borders. Rainbow Six teams from Alpha and Bravo, along with HRT and BORTAC, would raid the cartel safehouses to force Hassan into Alejandro and his Vaqueros. Logan Keller looks at his ATAC to see the ISR footage of movement within the house. He loaded his MP5SD along with his 2IC, Michael Walters, and his other two assaulters, X-Ray and Yung.

Logan Keller/Rainbow POV

Logan: Bravo 1 to Alpha 1, we are almost in position.

Sunny: Copy all, Alpha 1, we're taking HRT on the other side of the compound.

As Bravo and Alpha Teams stack up on the door with the help of HRT and BORTAC teams, Sunny and Alpha would stack up on the door as well. Meanwhile, Keller and X-Ray saw two cartel men guarding the door. Seeing this, Logan contacted Sunny and told all teams to move on his go.

Logan: All Alpha and Bravo teams, execute on my count.

Sunny uses his PEQ-15 to lase the targets as all the other members of Alpha point their MCX LVAWs at the cartel men on their side of the compound.

Logan: I have control. 3...2...1...execute.

MP5SD and LVAW fire.

Alpha and Bravo then moved in and placed charges on the door. As they stacked up, they blew up the door. Bravo pushed upstairs with the HRT while Alpha pushed with BORTAC. The cartel tried to put up a fight but was quickly taken care of by Rainbow.

Sunny: Door front. Walter, breacher up.

Michael: Copy.

Logan: X-Ray, prep the flashbang.

Michael: Charges set.

Logan: Hit it.

Door explodes, flashbang explodes.

As the door explodes, Sunny and Yung drop the tangos that were trying to destroy information.

Logan: Yung, see what you can get.

Yung: Oh my Logan, you should see this.

Los Vaqueros POV

Alejandro: Rudolfo! This way!

While Rainbow was clearing the Las Almas safehouse, the two Vaqueros were tracking Hassan since he jumped the border. Little did Hassan know the safe house was crawling with BORTAC and HRT agents after tracking him to a safehouse owned by a cartel.

Alejandro: Hands up! Now! Check them, Rudolfo!

Rudolfo: A man came through here. Where did he go?

Cartel 1: A two-story building. That's all I know, I promise.

Alejandro: For your sake, you better not be lying.

Alejandro would then take the cartel's guns and empty them.

Alejandro: [In Spanish]... Laswell came through; local law enforcement is here.

As Los Vaqueros moved to the El Paso PD, their SWAT surrounded the men.

Police man 1: Put your hands up now!

SWAT TL: Put your hands up now!

Police man 4: Hold on, Gomez, these are our guys.

Police man 1: Where's your suspect?

Alejandro: We tra-

As Alejandro was talking, the cartel ambushed the team and tried to fight them off to cover Hassan's escape back to Mexico.

SWAT 5: What the hell was that?

Police 8: This is Unit 342. Shots fired!

Alejandro: Rudolfo! Contact on the rooftops?

Rudolfo: You okay?

Police 10: Yeah...

Alejandro: Victor 0-1 to Bravo 1; we're taking fire, and our target is in the building!

Logan: Copy, we're on the way!

Alejandro: Hey, can your men cover us while we get into the building?

SWAT TL: Yeah, we got you covered.

Alejandro and Rudolfo would then split up to find Hassan. Rudolfo would then clear the house. When he got to the final door, he dropped a Las Almas member with his MCX Victus. Unfortunately, he got hit by a cartel member with the butt of his AK.

Hassan: Burn everything. Do you know who I am?

Rudolfo: You're a terrorist, pendejo.

Hassan: I'm a soldier. Let him burn as Ghorbrani burned.

Alejandro: Rudolfo! I'm with the Americans! Where are you?

Rudolfo: They're moving something sizable across the Atlantic.

Alejandro: Hold on, I'm coming, brother!

Alejandro would then pick up the wounded Rudolfo and exit the building. With the information gathered; Laswell realized that they needed to be ahead of this. She wasn't sure what Al-Qatala-Aljahdid was going to do with the missiles. With no options she decided to contact her Delta Force contact in Fort Bragg.
