</div>Alvaro took a seat, content and attentive allowing the glow of his new position to show. "Honestly, I was impressed with Senor Rebel. He's well-trained, thinks sharply, and speaks honestly and I'm confident his loyalties are to serving the community. His ideas are good and our conversation was proactive. He has a good understanding of my background and despite this, he was committed to working with me on strengthing the security and protocols."<br/><br/>Rebel had impressed him. In general, he respected cops, even when they were at odds with him. Their discipline and drive most often were strong. "We spoke openly about the incident. I wanted him to have the opportunity to see how events unfolded to become as they did. To say your son went on a violent rampage would be a gross mischaracterization when the evidence, from our perspective, pointed to our men being in trouble. I asserted that one simple communication could have averted the whole incident and all would be well." Alvaro nodded side to side, "He shared his perspective, and it gave me a little better understanding of how things got out of hand for them. We agree it was a wash, something to learn from and move past."<br/><br/>"Senor Dan," he winced with a shake of his head. "He seems to be perhaps a kind man, but he is not what I would call the right mettle for security. He was distracted by Senor Roman's practice today, enough so to break away from our conversation in favor of that. When Senor Rebel and I meet tomorrow to go over the personnel lists and make assessments, my opinion will be to have him reassigned. Our first step is to see what we have compared to what we wish to have and make adjustments from there."<br/><br/>He still thought about how things could have ended up in the shape they were in. "Was this a duty Senor Armando tended to, or have I overstepped the lines of my new position? I am unaware of the full scope of Armando's duties." This was a particularly important question to him as it would reveal if Armando was actually just bad at his job or if Hale was redefining the job to include things that would address previously unknown weaknesses.<br/><br/>"Ah, Senor Hale,"  he had hoped not to be thrust into Hale's more personal family issues, especially on the heels of Raimundo's meeting with him. Things were changing for certain and Alvaro was keen to see himself straddling the middle of it. "I have said it before and can only say it again, young Ray reminds me so much of young Arturo. A passion and talent so strong that it's almost as alarming as it is impressive. I have no doubt that when that transition does occur, he will do well."<br/><br/>He was careful not to linger on the topic for too long as if trying to sell Hale on an idea he was clearly not ready for.  "Senor Roman is somewhat an enigma to me. I do not have the honor to work with him as I do Raimundo, but you have said before he doesn't have the mind for business, and his games still occupy his thoughts and time. While one son is beyond his years, the other lingers behind in childhood. Do you worry for him and feel perhaps he needs to step up more?"
