Spain was my other home. It was where I grew up. Where I learnt that to survive in this world you need to be strong. Spain was a pain on my ass. I knew all its corners and I could tell the dangerous places. The sun was pretty warm. The things I loved about here is that the streets were always clean. I loved the white villages and the weather was always good.
"pairing up with the place?". He handed me ice cream. It reminded me of Mars and I. It's like he had consulted from him.
"yeah Jamal...thanks for the ice cream."
"Mars has always loved you. You can't imagine how dissapointed he was when you chose me over him.". Mars was always jealous of any man who came close to me. He had loved me and I still saw the traces of feelings for me in his eyes. I didn't want to complicate things. They were already worse the way they were.
"poor him," He giggled.
"meaning you don't love him?"
"meaning nothing...have you gathered the names of the clubs and bars?"
"club??? Yes I do but why did you insist on them too?"
"the devil is always hiding in the least expected places Jamal. It would have been better if we added churches but let's focus on those two. We will split up the search and remember, you go to Rome, you act like one to be one. I'll take the pubs... Just remember to leave your cell phone on incase."
"don't you think we need two other people?, I can ask Swares to get each one of us back up atleast.". He was talking sense and to some point I realised that I was being selfish. I looked at the list and nodded to his agreement. I had thirty dangerous pubs.
"I agree. We have to begin tonight..that's when the business is booming. We have to rescue as many as we can."
"Our team will be here tomorrow morning. For now the ones backing us up are the FBI."
All was set and when the night fell, I was ready. Ready for the fight and for death. Anna read her cards and she told me my fate. I just had to digest it all and get ready for anything. I smelt death around me and at the same time I felt like something good would come out of it. I was ready to save my sister from another mother and take her place if it was necessary. I moved my hand to my neck and felt the charm necklace Anna had given me to protect me from danger and to know if I was close to Bruna. I didn't trust it but I just had it on anyway. I put it on for Bruna.
My phone buzzed. Looking at the caller it was it was Peter. I didn't want to pick it but having in mind that I'd never made it alive forced me to. I had to say goodbye in advance. I had to apologise for being carried away by emotions. I received it.
"thinking whether to pick up or not?"
"you can say that again....how are you?"
"we are ok dear. How is Spain?"
I looked around. There was alot as always to be told.
"get done Felicity, I gotta drop you to your first place." . Jamal said from the back.
"there's alot....you have to explore. Get married to my Mom and I'll sponsor your honey moon here in Spain."
"as if it was possible. We broke up.". My eyes widened. I expected that but not that soon. Had she found out about us?. She loved Peter to bits.
"what did you do to her Peter?"
"nothing, my feelings for her are dying and I won't let it all drain out. It's better this way."
"I entrusted her to you. Should anything stupid happen to her I'll hold you responsible."
"so now you care so much about her?, isn't that amazing Felicity?... If you loved her that much you wouldn't have left and.. "
"just shut up Peter!. You've got no right to judge me or to reproach my decisions. Just leave her alone then and get the hell out of our lives you demon!."
I hang up the phone. My head was coming off my neck. The wind hit my face blowing back my hair. That's just what I needed.
"Felicity can we leave?",
Tears welded my eyes but hell no was I going to let Jamal see me when weak. I took a deep breath and swallowed back the tears.
"sure, am after you."
