The nights became heavier with the passing of the days. Since that night falling asleep was a complicated task to perform. I had not seen Alana since then, I did not receive a message from her or indications of wanting to start a conversation. days were just that, days running and ending my month to adjust the monetary accounts in the agency.
-"I'm going to say it one more time. You're doing too much work, I don't think it's worth overloading yourself for something that lost the sense of being and meaning to you." I listened to Hector who was sitting in front of me, while my eyes wandered on the new case of the week.
-Héctor, you know that I adore you, but you can't come to my office when you want to interrupt my work, you are also the least indicated person to tell me that I have lost the reason for my work. I remind you dear friend that you work for her, you are something like her personal dog. I huffed still with my gaze on the folder sheets, listening to the growl and lifted my face from her to see the expression of displeasure on her features.
-"I haven't mentioned a single word about her since I've been here. It's not my fault either the assigned areas and I'm not her bitch." He said clarifying the previous insult. Something characteristic of Hector was his lack of ability to follow orders and listen to criticism of his work or his clothing.
-To start you could refuse and to finish I'm still angry with you, you saw my face for years. Years. I screamed in exasperation, trying to intimidate him to force him to leave the office
-I have apologized to you all this time, she forbade me to tell you something about what was happening. I swear I wanted to tell you as soon as I knew it, but I had to shut up, it was a pretty big mission and we were stopping large shipments of drugs and human trafficking.
-Yes, but you pretended very well in each shipment. I cannot forget it or you know that I can because that is no longer my problem, you can continue playing to be her subordinate or her faithful pet if you wish, there is simply a rule
-In my presence do not mention a single word related to that woman, I have enough with the Thompson case and Mrs. Elizabeth pressuring me to advance on it, I have had fateful days and I would be very grateful if you did not put your finger on the wound. Finally my gaze returned to the papers hoping to find a point, something unnoticed, a name, an address I did not visit, something that would indicate where to start looking for the twins.
-What are you working on now? I say if you can tell. "He replied his, getting up from his seat to go to the coffee machine and prepare an espresso and a black for me.
-I'm going to start charging you for everything you occupy in my office, whenever I want to make an express I can't because you've finished everything. You visit my workplace a lot lately and I know your intentions Héctor
-Do you think she sent me? He asked, still on his back and with the two cups finally full. He started walking to my desk, extending the cup of coffee and taking his place again.
-You don't answer, well nobody sent me, I have come for the new case of bravo. I am somewhat concerned about the lack of information about the case. he mention it and my mind remembered the night before and that anonymous received.
- Last night I received an anonymous one at home, I think it can help you a little. I said, extending the letter from the drawer and turning my eyes to work
-Are you OK? I say this is too serious, and you are as if nothing. Sofia have threatened you who knows who it will be, and you are as if everything was normal. I blurt him out with a frown and his arms crossed, hoping to see my gaze fixed on his.
-What do you want me to do? It is normal, I receive several of these daily and I am not even in that case for that reason I have given it to you, it is not useful to me in any way.
-Sofia, these people are dangerous, they don't go around with stories and I know that even if you're not investigating that line, they think that way and it will bring you problems to keep getting involved in this.
-What do you want to say to me?. I said closing the folder and turning all my attention to my great friend and confidant.
-You know, they want to kill you, please, you can't just ignore it. I fear for your life since that woman decided to put her nose into this matter and the brilliant idea of approaching you knowing all the risks involved crossed her mind for his stupid idea.
"Enough." I said, hitting the letter twice, thus dropping the table lamp and some photographs of the case. There it was, in the photos, that was the unknown clue and now it was as clear as spring water-
-Héctor you must go back to work and I have to deliver some reports to my boss, please go away and we will continue with this conversation in your apartment at night, I promise to go as soon as my shift is over. I should get him out of there soon and make sure that he it would be out of everything. I did not know who to trust or if she had entrusted my security to one of the agents who worked for her.
He got up from his seat, putting the cup back on the small island.
-Okay, let me know when you leave and if you want me to come for you. You already know that it is not a bother for me to come to see you or pick you up. He said stretching his hand to say goodbye, I hugged him briefly and accompanied him to the door to finally stay alone with the photographs.
It was in front of me all the time, the connection of all the cases was so clear now. I spent a couple of hours looking at the photographs to confirm my suspicions, and every second I could see what was happening and in my mind the scene was recreated analyzed.
