*At least twenty minutes have passed by and Nico hasn't stopped talking.*

N: Here he hacked the government files and sold it-

M: Nico. I don't understand some things. Where did you take this from? And why are you doing this?

N: ... I just want you to know the truth. Because I can't stand hiding it from people anymore.

M: I think keeping this a secret was better. Because no one, including me will believe this.

N: Look, Jorge has had many, many girlfriends. I know where all of them ended up

M: Well, if that is my destiny, I will face it

N: You seem different. Very different.

M: In which way? Am I not skinny enough? Or not so on girly things as them?

N: No, I mean, yes but that's not the main thing. You're having a secret. I can see it. A mysterious fact that no one knows. And it has something to do with Jorge.

M: I don't have to tell him everything

N: Don't you want to tell me?

M: No. That is clearly my thing. And now, you said you have Jorge's weak spots

N: You want to know them?

M: Yes. I should know things like this as his girlfriend

N: Alright. In fact, there is only one spot. Never ask about his family.

M: I'll try to remember that

*Family. That didn't come up on my mind. He never talked about it. A great thing to bring up next time we meet*

M: I... it's late, I should go now. But don't forget my advice. To the café in a few days

N: I will be there. If you trust what I said about Jorge.

M: Nico...

N: You don't? Are you really that naïve?

M: I will think about it.

*I said and left his flat. Successful mission. Partly.*

...

*I arrived at work and almost bumped in Pepe.*

M: Oh, sorry

*He didn't respond and kept doing his job. Where is Mechi? Just when I thought of her, my phone rang*

M: Mechi! Where are you?

Me: Hi... could you please tell Stephie I won't come today? I have a fever

M: Uh, yeah, sure. I will. Get well soon

Me: Thank you. See you later

M: So... seems like it's only you and me here today

*No response again. I won't survive this deafening silence*
