The Elevator

Get into a lot of trouble

My pulse stopped and my logic froze. Straight away I went and looked under the little window into the void. The distance is long I couldn't jump to the lower balcony without being damaged... No, I won't take any chances.

Myrto: Come in.

God, I'm desperately looking at every inch of the squared space. In the closet? Not too clichéd. Under the bed! It's the only way I can see, I casually drop the blanket to fill the void before I get inside it. Tears began to flow in my eyes and convulsions took over my entire body.

I could hear them looking one, one of the rooms. Nadia kept raving, saying they're not going to find anything and that they're wasting their time. Those annoyed, told her to stop this constant murmur. I drown my sobs, one by one, I repress them deep inside my chest, collecting them.

They were approaching, the rooms of the house were finished. Every moment they walked through the steps, they grew stronger and stronger, more and more determined, closer and closer to me. I don't want to part with Nadia, I feel her like my sister, she needs me.

These thoughts had overwhelmed my body, I had no sense, I was a lifeless piece of wood cut off from the trunk of the tree had not a single drop of vitality in it, except its remnants. Cheap imitations of emotions. The steps stop, they're here, outside the door.

Nadia: Wait! This is my room. I want you to be careful because my things are precious to me and I don't want them to be damaged.

Although almost in the form of hum, I could tell her phrases and the annoyed epiphany of the police officers. Panicked, I feel a numbness penetrating my body starting from the lower extremities transmitted to the top. He was in the room.

Then everything was blurry for me, I could just hear them pacing along the entire length of it, opening whatever closet and drawer there was. At least in my panic that's what I understood, I think they checked the balcony, but I'm not sure...

Cop: She's not here.

Nadia: I made it clear from the beginning, I think..

She said, slightly ironically. Her audacity makes me whole and at the same time fascinates me.

Officer: We want to inform all of you one last time that the matter has taken on enormous dimensions and if something is finally found and you have hidden it from us..

Nadia: We're going to get into a lot of trouble, don't worry, we know, you made it clear from the beginning.
