I knew that you would be interested. I'll leave you two alone, the less I know, the better.Capitán Torres: {PLAYER_NAME}, correct? Don't be irritated by John's behaviour. Our plan is not fully legal in the narrow sense but saves my deputies and the sheriffs here a lot of work.I am looking for one Emilio Vargas. He was a highly decorated general of the mexican army, until he tried to seize the power in the country. The coup did not succeed, but he was able to flee.Since then, we have lost track of Vargas, but word is spread that his adjutant, a man named Pablo Salvador, is trying to recruit soldiers for a "revolution" in one of the border towns on the American side. He is up to no good. I want you to infiltrate these self-proclaimed revolutionaries and put a stop to their game.

Back there, that could be the ruin we are looking for!Old Man Hackett: Indeed, that should be the one. This is the end of the line for you then!Before you can react, Hackett shoots Salvador in the back, killing him instantly. While you reach down to your gun, the echo of Hackett's shot is reverberating from the rocky cliffs. Almost instantly, the sound changes into the rumbling sound of a rock slide. In the last second you manage to get to safety. As usual, Old Man Hackett has completely disappeared.

You hurry towards the ruins you have seen from afar. the Labyrinth of canyons and caves makes it hard to keep track and you would be completely lost if the sound of small explosions wouldn't help you find the way once in a while. It seems like Hackett and Vargas are already trying to get into the ruins.

 Finish
A stronger explosion shakes the canyon. A short while after you turn around a corner, you find the burned-out ammuntion wagon, surrounded by dead soldiers. You can hear the echo of gunshots from the ruins. After you approach the treasure vault through blown-away walls, you see Hackett and Vargas oppose each other, guns drawn. In the middle, between them, stands an old clay jug, filled with gold coins.
