"What the hell is this?" Christian asked himself after putting on his jacket and found that letter in one of his pockets. He woke up and took your coffee. When he put on his jacket, he dropped a letter (the one shown above). Christian could not understand how that paper had stopped in his jacket. He went to Ulf's room, who was standing and asked:

"Ulf, did you happen to put this in my pocket?"

"I did not put not anything in your pockets; let me see what it is. But what the hell ist hat?

"That's what I asked myself."

"What a strange thing!"

"It seems to me that we have work. It is an encrypted letter."

"Only, it seems to me, to read or understand that, we need to have a code and without it, how are we going to read numbers?

"Let's think about it."

It was clear that they should read those numbers. They designed the numbers on the living room TV screen. Suddenly, they both had a simultaneous revelation and said in unison. "I have an idea."

*****

In Washington, Hudson McCage was still amazed with the situation in your home.

"We want Hudson's head; I must believe it's you, right?"

"Right."

"What is your patent at Interpol?"

"I don't work there."

"What do you know about Camorra?"

Hudson froze even more. He knew very well the mafia organization, he knew it was from Naples, from the Mezzogiorno and, he knew how dangerous it was too.

"Everyone believes it doesn't exist," said Hudson, "but I know by reliable sources that the truth is quite contrary to this."

"Great! We will eliminate one more."

At that, one of the "men in suits" shot into Hudson, he jumped and rolled to the balcony of his apartment, "only" 20 floors separated it from the floor. One of the ties said. "Can you settle the light finger on the trigger? Damn it!"

"Excuse-me." Hudson took advantage of the fight and said to save time. "An internal fight! I must ask you to calm down and put an end to my life or patience and serve them a cup of tea?"

"Save your sarcasm for those who appreciate it. With a pleasure, one last information for you: we killed your friend Alice Luckyhand."

"Before kill me," said Hudson, "one last act."

What Hudson McCage did was James Bond's thing: he fired three shots in the tie was talking with him to after jump from the 20th floor to the death.

*****

"I think we had a double reveal." Christian said. "Tell me Ulf, how do you think we can read this from there?"

"If we put numbers from 1 to 9 and divide the letters of the alphabet by these, like this." Ulf took a paper and wrote:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z ß-

"But before we read, we must think in what language this should be."

"I thought about that. Said Ulf. "Probably the person, who put it there, if it was who I think, did not know who was going to deliver. You will probably agree that I mean, with sure will be in English. It was obvious. English had become a global language and many people in the world speak English, about 400,000,000. "Right. As far as I know, not all of these numbers want say something." Christian said.

"As well?"

"Squeeze your brain!"

Ulf thought for a moment and said. "Randomness! We can know where the letters are, there are a key."

"Do you know what the key is? If we used Roman numbers, it wouldn't exist."

- Like? I did not understand."

"The only number missing from your table."

Ulf thought quickly. "The zero."

"This, because if we look at this letter, we realize that zero is the key. In the last sentence, before all the dashes, it repeats 33 times, even before certain numeric symbols.

Ulf took his I-Phone and typed the symbols with 00 in front: 0096 - 00763 - 008145 - 0095359454 - 002891 - 00352259 -0092 - 0091 - 002531315 - 009 - 008145 - 004954 - 00735115 -006954 - 00834165 - 00433175 - 0095 - 005118957265 - 0043 -00154 - 002533 - 00894 - 002812 - 0013935 - 0091 - 0043140071 - 0025 - 003195633 - 005928 - 00285 - 003646991 -0041691.

"Now, just remove the zeros and translate," Christian said.

Within minutes, Ulf had the message in hands:

"If you have received this letter, it is because I have died. Please, find Hudson McCage in Washington DC and tell him that Alice is dead.PS: Be careful with the Camorra Mafia."

"I was sure it came from the injured girl." Said Ulf.

"Like?"

"She was being followed and, in a desperate attempt to transmit some information, passed this letter on to the last person who had contact in life, in this case, you.

"Right. I had thought of that. - Now, how are wefind this Hudson McCage? - Asked Ulf .*****What makes a person, in good conscience, jump from the 20thwalk? And on top of that, thinking I would make it to the ground alive, justan analytical mind would think of a way out. And, as the presenceimminent death will sharpen Hudson's senses before jumpinghe had an idea: Le Parkur.Parkur was part of military training, where theobjective was to quickly, efficiently and safely overcomeany obstacles using only the skills andcapabilities of the human body. At that moment, Hudson thoughtjust to escape death and used this transformed sportplayfully for the feat. Holding the bars on thehis apartment, launched himself onto the balcony below and repeatedthis movement up to the 11th floor. That's when he found a doorajar. He entered the apartment and ran to the door, went tostairs. He thought, as he went down the stairs:"Taking the elevator would be an invitation to death, they must already begoing down it. "He reached the ground floor, ran to the parking lot and foundyour car. There were some agents from Camorra next to him. Has arrivednear the car and found himself at an impasse:"How am I going to unlock the alarm ?!"Then he was seen by the agents.
