That same evening, Gabriel and Daniel were in another one of their meetings after their newfound liaison, oblivious to the incident that happened at the base or the brewing war.
"Adele is out of the deal," Daniel announced to him, sipping from his glass.
"What?!" Gabriel shouted, unable to believe what he just heard. "How is that possible? You said she's on our side and everything would go well…." It dawned on him, "What did you do?"
Something must have happened for Adele to back out all of a sudden and Daniel was a troublemaker - everyone knows that.
"Well…." Daniel tilted his head unsure, obviously believing he had done nothing wrong, "Apparently, fucking her mother was her breaking point."
Unfortunately, Gabriel who just took a sip of his drink spat out everything, some of it falling on Daniel who stilled at once.
