After taking out the Gulf Cartel in a single surgical strike, Alex returned to the headquarters of Los Zetas, where he met up with Maria. Maria had been depressed since the night of their date where the two of them were kidnapped by the Jalisco Cartel.
The reason for this was simple... The two guys who were interested in her were both murderers and madmen. Though Alex was slightly better than Angel, specifically because he was basically forced into this life, or that's how he made it seem. The fact remained that her luck was terrible.
She escaped without injury thankfully, but since that day she had been secluding herself in the room she was provided where all she did was drink away her sorrows. It was because of this that after a brief shower to clean the blood and gore off of himself, Alex knocked on her door.
Maria's tears could be overheard from within, and because of this Alex knocked again, while voicing his thoughts on her current miserable state.
