The Don's Office

[Carlos_Benitez]

Ronaldo arrived at the door to the Don's office, straightened his uniform, and nodded at the guard. The doors opened, and he caught glimpse of the Don.
Carlos stood and greeted the Commandante warmly, before slowly lowering himself back down. He was surprised to see Ronaldo had chosen to arrive in full, formal dress normally reserved for major ceremonies. His chest bore the Commandate's insignia, above three rows of gold and silver service-ribbons, each representing awards earned during Ronaldo's impressive career.
"What's the special occasion, hermano?"

Carlos glanced at Cezar, who was seated in the corner of the room, near the door.
"Leave us" exclaimed Carlos. The doors swung open, and the Don and Commandante were left to speak in private.
