Catch me if you can

chapter 46

Martina

*I woke up because of my arm. I slept on my arm the whole night, cowering myself behind the table. I stood up slowly, hitting the chair*

M: Dammit

*Luckily no one came. After stretching my arm, I walked to the door and opened. There I saw Stephie sleeping on the couch. She moved. Opened her eyes and looked around curiously for a few moments. When she realized she had cuffs, she stood up and headed to the door quickly. But Jorge was faster.*

J: Good morning

S: Eh, hi Jorge! I really enjoyed yesterday but could you please unlock these?

J: No, sorry.

S: Why not? Please, I have done nothing wrong

J: Stephie, sit down. I think we have a lot to talk about.

*She returned to the couch slowly and sat down next to him.*

J: Once upon a time there was a guy, just like me. He had a special job, very dangerous but exciting one. Luck was on his side. Three years of luck. And suddenly, one night luck vanished. The guy looked all over the place and saw a girl. A girl who has stolen the luck from the boys.

S: I still don't understand

J: Don't play this game Stephie. I mean, agent Camarena.

*Agent? STEPHIE IS AN AGENT AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. She was the one who sabotaged all their acts and my rescuing missions! And I was so stupid and believed that they got what they wanted. I had urge to come out and join them. I really had.*

J: Now that I know about you, it's either I kill you or they do. For not keeping the secret of the agency.

S: Not so fast.

J: Why not? I got you twisted around my finger.

S: Before you kill me, I want to talk.

J: Okay, at least you'll talk to someone important before death.

S: What is what you have with Martina?

J: Why are you asking me such-

S: I am gonna die soon

J: Okay. We are like lovers. But not official lovers

S: And, what does she feel? Is that what she feels real?

J: I don't know. But she still didn't give up on me. That is new.

S: You better watch out then.

J: What?

*She didn't say anything and pulled out a tiny gun. She shot the lights and the glass and sparks flew everywhere. The vision got blurry for a while but when everything settled down, she was gone. Jorge was standing there shocked, with a few cuts from the glass on his arms. Then he started cursing. Very loudly.*
