.I do not understand anything, first you appear in my apartment saying that you love me, we make love, you tell me a great story of drug trafficking, money laundering and a corrupt agency for which I work. Then I'll accompany you to one of your little jobs. By that time the usual gestures of her with her hands were present in our conversation in the cafe. Wait comes the best part, you disappear again when you said that it was in the past, you take me for a fool and a week later you decide that it is good to call your girlfriend to tell her that you want to see her in a seedy bar.
- You have finished? I said tired of her little well-deserved monologue. The dark sides of Sofia used to enchant me much more than the colorful ones, I smiled when I saw a small pout peek into her face.
-I think so, well I'll start by explaining everything. My hands moved signaling the waitress to deliver the order of cakes and a new cup of coffee, the day was dark and it was only 2:30 pm, even so, the sky was telling you that a storm was coming.
I had to go, Vito is essential for the organization and for me. I could not allow his presence any longer in the place, we took the tunnel behind the small control room to get out of there without being chased. I don't know how it happened or why The FBI agents and the police were there, but they managed to intercept our calls, by now in the game they know where I was staying, who I am, what I was doing at that dock and they know everything about the shipment, but not about Vito and I should protect it. So we were forced to withdraw and leave virtually all of the seemingly lost shipment
-We intercepted it with Bill after a few days, it seemed like a loss, those girls are already at Miguel's disposal and our heads are safe. Someone has been investigating my Sofia and I am not liking this so I called your home phone, at least there they will not be able to intercept your calls. I took out a small box from my coat spreading it across the table
-It is a new mobile, I will call you on this phone and it will only be for this. Forgive me, I really did not want to disappear for so many days, but it has been difficult for me to find a new place, and to fix the whole thing with Vito and Miguel. Also, I was recovering from a confrontation 3 days ago
- Showdown? She replied with her tone somewhat concerned, her eyes denoting the lack of sleep and her hair the need for a long shower.
-Yes, tell me something, you haven't bathed or slept in days or am I imagining this? Point out your gentleness and her dark circles highlighting your face
"I've been a little busy with the Thomson and Elizabeth case and I've been looking at all the uncovered lines."
-Understand. Elizabeth is Elioth's sister. Truth?
-Yes, she mentioned something about you and her brother, something about business and also about a trap set for him.
-Yes, if i knew him too young to die, but I suppose that betrayal is arranged like that in this world. I said, sipping some coffee and ripping some of the cake on the table.
-Alana, I've missed you. I have been foolish for days trying not to think about this, but it has overtaken me and I have totally focused on a case that leads me to you in all respects.
Sorry for that, I took her hands on the table and saw her smile at me once more with all that love that she always had for me. The same love that led me to her in each stumbling block on the chosen path or perhaps the one designated for me.
-I didn't want to worry you, but everything has been confusing in recent days and I would not have forgiven myself for losing your position or being related to me in this world due to an oversight of mine. Sofia I have not stopped thinking about you for a single minute, all these days I have had the same routine. Get up, complain about the pain, fight with Vito and think about you. I have refrained from calling you long before for your safety, I needed to make sure that everything was fine for everyone.
-Elizabeth says that we have advanced in a part of the investigation but I must ask you to tell me everything you know about your father and those boys, it is important to her.
"Hey. Raise her chin quickly." I'm not jealous or anything like that. It doesn't bother me that you bring other women's names to the table. Have you had a bad idea about the girls. Isn't that right? She nodded slightly making me laugh at how curious and funny the situation was.
-Well, Sofia was only joking. She was not upset either at that time. I just wanted to see your face, I have never felt jealous of anyone sofí.
-I'm glad you think so. I suppose then you are aware of my previous relationships. I say before you came back I went out with a couple of girls, things from a few weeks, others from one night. There was one of them Jessel I think was her name, that girl was very interesting and to say Really pretty pretty but she moved to Chicago for work. I released her hands quickly and took a more serious position, she knew how to play very well and put me at a disadvantage with her words.
-You should have insisted, maybe she would have been the one to share your life. Don't you think? I said sarcastically staring at Sofia. She took my hands again before speaking.
-Miss not jealous, I have not gone out with anyone in a long time, maybe alcohol or depression things but you are the only girl in my life, although I must admit that I have loved your angry face but it is not so funny when you get too serious .
That afternoon passed slightly quickly, I did not feel the minutes running and I did not want the clock marking the closing time. I had spent so many days thinking about where I would be or if I would live that those precious seconds in the cafe comforted the nights of cold and loneliness.
