chapter 78

Martina

*I was sitting on the floor in the hall, waiting for someone to come out of the office when someone tapped on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Alba, my colleague*

A: Hi! I heard you got the one and only wanted criminal!

M: Yeah. I did

A: Whay are you so sad then?

M: I am not sad. Just... worried.

A: Why?

M: He is in the office now and I don't know what the boss is doing to him.

A: You care about that guy too much, don't you think?

M: ... a villain is a human too

A: Yeah. Sure. Anyway, I'll go now. See you later

M: Bye

*She patted my back and left. Do I care about that guy that much? Is it more than just worries? The door flew open and Jorge came out. I stood up and ran to him quickly*

M: So? What did he say? Are you okay? How is he gonna punish you?

J: He is a good man. Let's move to my room now. Will you be my guide?

M: He even gave you a room? Wow.

*I lead him to his room, we entered and he closed the door behind us.*

J: I-I got an offer

M: Tell me

J: I can move to Mexico and work for this company as an agent. That's the way I can aviod... death.

M: That's great! You can start your life over again.

J: I want you to go with me.

*That sentence got stuck in my head and I couldn't get rid of the echo. He wants... he wants me to go with him? Why?*

M: Why?

J: You don't want to go?

M: I... you just asked me, I don't know if I do or don't

J: Please, come with me. We can work together and, I will buy a nice flat

M: But why do you insist on taking me?

J: Because I like you! And I want some happiness in my life.

M: Is it because you like me? You want me to leave this country just because you LIKE me.

J: Just come with me. Please.

M: What about my life? Do you think I can just throw it away?

J: You don't want to go?

M: You just told me this and insist on my answer right now?
