Operation Desert Passage IDAP Tour Leg 5

Leg 5 — MMSD → MMSF San José del Cabo → San Felipe Mission: Return personnel to clinic and continue humanitarian operations.

The First Real Sign The vehicle wasn’t out of place. That’s what made it noticeable. Same type as others. Same color. Same positioning. But it hadn’t been there before.

Then — “People who don’t like interference.” Sofia stepped outside again, scanning the road, the angles, the distance. “They’re not here for us,” she said. Then after a beat — “They’re here for you.”
