Catch me if you can

chapter 70

Jorge

S: Any questions? We need to shut this conversation and move to the last step.

J: I have one.

S: Go on.

J: If I claim my loss and your victory, will you let Martina go?

*I asked ridiculously. Of course they won't, they're not stupid. But I just need more time to unlock the chains*

S: I don't know wether to laugh or cry because you're so smart yet so stupid. Even if we let Martina go now, she will barely stay conscious.

*In that moment, the bells started ringing. Martina covered her ears to avoid the unpleasant noise which didn't stop*

V: Wh-what is this

*Valeria said angrily and left the room. Two minutes passed by... three... and she wasn't back*

J: Don't you wanna check what is happening? The ringing is annoying

S: I am not stupid to leave you alone

*She said nervously and kept walking around the room*

S: Ugh! Wait here!

*She also left. Great*

J: Come on Martina, we gotta go

*I finally freed myself from the locks and went to her bed. I guess she won't walk. Uh...*

J: Come and lean on my back, I'll carry you

*I wrapped her in a blanket so she won't be cold outside and carried her out. We walked through halls, halls, and more halls, until we left the building and I recognised the van. I placed her inside and sat in too.*

J: Ruggero! Great! Thanks for rescuing!

R: No problem, I- what happened?

J: That's not important now, we gotta go

*Ruggero took off and raced to my house.*

J: Just a while and it will be fine, hold on.

...

*I put Martina in my bed and covered her in more blankets. She was cold as ice and pale. I don't even know if she was just sleeping or being unconscious.*

J: Thanks for help again. That was amazing. How did you know where I was?

R: I'll keep that as my own secret. Let's say I found out so we went to action. The others got in, knocked out some people and turned the ring on. The guys should be here soon. Now tell me, how did you two get there.
