Catch me if you can

chapter 77

Jorge

J: What do you want to do with me now?

*I asked to prevent the silence. It would make me think more and more about the past.*

P: I don't know what to do with you. If I did what the others would do, you would be dead. I want to let you go freely. But that is not fair. You should be punished.

J: I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want this job.

*I bursted out. And done. I already wanted to say this sentence several times before.*

P: You have been doing this from a young age. Is it really that easy for you to say stop?

J: ...yes. I hate my life. I have an expensive car, a big flat and confidence. But that doesn't make me happy. I always said being bad made me feel good but... that was no true. It was just a façade the whole time.

*I didn't notice that tears were rolling down my face. After such a long time I saw Pablo again. That made me recall my memories. And my trust to him came back. I hope he didn't change. That he stayed the good uncle he was my whole childhood.*

P: I think I might have a solution.

J: What is it?

P: Move out.

J: Move out? Right now?

P: Yes. I can book you a ticket to Mexico. You should be safe there.

J: But, what about my friends?

P: Your co-workers?

J: Yes, what will they do

P: They could... work for this agency. I am sure they are good people. Just like you.

J: And... what about Martina?

P: Martina? She completed her job. Now I'll give her a new mission and...ooh. You... you have feelings to her

J: ...she helped me a lot. I need someone cheerful and caring like her

P: I'm sorry to say that Jorge. But that is clearly her decision.

J: I understand.

P: If she loves you too, I will let her go. And, mabye your abilities won't be just thrown away. You could move there and work under our agency too, in fact. But, only if you want to.

J: I will think about it. And tell you when I decide.

P: That's the boy I remember. Even though you didn't start off well, you can change it. Just by standing here, you made me proud.
