<div style="text-align: center">《 Alvaro 》<br/>
Location:<i> Abendblume  --&gt;  KOA</i><br/>
Addressing:<i> Ray Jr</i><br/>​</div>Once he'd dropped Sou off to her own fate, Alvaro headed back to Abendblume to let him know the job was done. The news didn't do much to take the edge off the bad mood Hale had fallen into but Alvaro's news about Ray Jr. setting out to investigate the matter more brought a cautious curiosity to the old man's face. Alvaro understood it immediately, some of the possibilities were grave. While Ray Jr's ambition sat well with him, he was still rightfully concerned as a father but Alvaro's suggestion to join him sat well with the leader and Alvaro was off again.<br/><br/>He made a quick stop to his armory to grab his suppressed Colt M4 to add to the Baretta and trench knife he always carried. He planned to keep at a ranged perimeter distance and let Ray handle the situation as he saw fit, but if things went wrong, Alvaro would be there to take the necessary shots from afar. If things went<i>really</i>wrong, a spray of bullets would bring things back in line quickly. He headed out taking all the back routes that assured he remained unseen. He was up and over the wall in minutes, easily slipping past the outer guard to be on his way. It was a shame he couldn't take a more active role in training the guards, but in the end, he knew they weren't disciplined or cold enough to learn as he had learned.<br/><br/>Time was quickly made up as he stuck to the road and moved at a fast pace. There was little worry of running into anything or anyone that would pose him a threat since the guards and Ray Jr. had already moved through the area. He came upon the scene just as Ray was crouched down looking closely at the ground. The evening was fading quickly giving itself over to darkness. Alvaro let out a soft whistle like a night bird; a signal that he was approaching and to not be alarmed.<br/><br/>"Senor Ramon," he crossed the distance to the other man. "It looks like we've had a little confrontation here. What do you make of it?" The clues were obvious and abundant as Alvaro scanned the immediate area around them.
