Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: A hopeful conversation

Synopsis: Robert and William discuss what happened with Arturo and Liz. Meanwhile, Diego's actions stun the band. And Liz has a hopeful conversation with the Professor.

William went to the bathroom where Amanda, who was a hostage, was treating Arturo's wounds after the beating that William gave him. Then Robert arrived, and after seeing what happened to Arturo, he held William by the arm, led him out of the bathroom to one of the passageways, and asked him:

- Is your clamp gone? - Asked Robert - You've busted him. Your head can't go away like this

- If this is a pressure cooker - answered William

- That's the reason! That's the reason! You can't fuck around like a kid - Robert told him

- We are robbing the Central Bank of the Country - William told him - you will have forgotten, but not me!

- We have never been sons of bitches - said Robert

- Maybe I have a trauma - said William - maybe we all have a fucking trauma

- What the hell are you saying? - asked Robert - What trauma do I have?

- I'd better shut up - said William

- Tell me! - Robert answered aloud

- That you have left Liz - said William - How many men do you know who would leave Liz? To nobody. Nobody leaves Liz.

- What do you know what Liz is? - asked Robert

- Liz is a fucking Maserati, everyone wants a fucking Maserati - said William - And if you leave it on the street with the door open and the key in, it's because you're so screwed. Look, Robert. I'm going to make it very clear to you. Maybe they have touched your virility. That they have unbalanced you with the subject of torture. But you have to get it out. That's why you've dumped Liz, right? Whether she has done it one or in a group, the trauma she causes is different. Get it out! You can count on me ... for everything you need. But for everything.

Then he patted Robert on the shoulder and left. And Robert was left alone in the hall, very thoughtful.

Meanwhile, Diego took off his patch, covering his injured eye that had already improved. He put on a black suit, grabbed a suitcase, and went down some stairs from the bank that led to the first floor and to the doors of the bank as he said:

- Well, ladies and gentlemen - Diego said - not without regret I tell you my goodbye. I'm going. Keep your spirit steady and high.

- But what the hell are you doing? asked Gabriel, who was one of us, but he was in charge of hostage control

- Gabriel ...- Diego said, while he put 2 explosives at the entrance of the bank-I'm leaving. It has been a pleasure working with you as always. Even I would say to you: "I love you very much, Gabriel." And to you hostages, I hope my command was not too traumatic. You can tell this anecdote to your grandchildren, relatives, loved ones. Anyway ... ladies and gentlemen, it has been a pleasure.

Just as Diego was about to press a button to open the bank doors, a shot near the button stopped him. The hostages screamed. It was Liz.

- What the hell? - Diego said

- Easy - Liz said to him, while she raised both hands, and she went slowly where Diego was - Diego, calm. Let's talk ... quietly. But go away, you won't go away.

So when Diego was going to press the button for the last time, Liz fired again, and this time towards the button. And also, angering Diego:

- Fuck it! - Diego exclaimed - You made me a putsch, damn it! What the hell do you want?!

- I'm in command of the military. You, the technician - Liz told him

- The technician - said Diego - do you really think I'm some kind of engineer with glasses?

There was a moment of silence, and he added:

- What kind of orders am I going to give down there, let's see? Now it melts, now it does not melt. Bathyscaphe out, bathyscaphe in. Immersion, emersion - Diego said, then he imitated the sound of an alarm, and said - Who the hell do you think I am? I'm not up to this shit! I'm not for this little guy. I leave. I'm going to activate manual release, and I'm doing you a favor. Because if I stay, I'll shoot you. You and everyone else. I'm not on your side anymore.

Then, Liz pointed her gun at Diego, and said:

- I'm doing the favor to you - Liz said - because I swear to you that the next thing I'm going to do ... is execute you.

- I think not - said Diego

- I think so - Liz said

Then, Diego took out a control from his pocket, raised the antenna with his mouth and replied to Liz:

- Claymore Mines - Diego said - which, as you will see, are directed towards you. You are not going to touch me.

The hostages began to panic.

- You know well that I don't give a damn about killing you - Diego said - calm down

- You can't betray us like this - Liz said

- We bet? - Diego said

A tear slipped from Liz's left eye.

Until John arrived, yelling:

- Diego! - shouted John - Quiet!

- Ah, well," said Diego - the stupid princess came to see her prince off at the train terminal. But please, dignity John!

- Where are you going? - John asked - To jail? Shot in the forehead? To betray us?

- I am not going to betray anyone - Diego said, and he lifted the suitcase saying - I have my passport: State secrets. I'm not going to betray you, calm down.

- To go out is to betray - said John walking towards Diego - to leave us alone here is to betray

- No! Do not move! - yelled Diego

The hostages shouted, after that change in Diego's tone of voice:

- I don't want to kill you fatty - Diego said

- You don't want to kill me? -John said, while he took the 2 explosive mines that Diego put previously-well you will have to kill me

- You're doing something crazy, John - Diego said

It was at that moment that, Diego, became somewhat sentimental at that moment, because John, although you may not believe it, was in love with Diego. But he didn't love him, even though John was very romantic with him.

And when John was close enough to Diego, John hugged him and said:

- I have you - he said as he hugged him. Diego had a tear coming out of his left eye

Then Liz walked over to him, and delicately removed the detonator.

As we drove out of the forest, we made a stop at a cabin. There, Lucas had three motorcycles. One for him, one for me .... and the other was for ... Lucia, who could not escape with us. I stared at her motorcycle for a few seconds, until Lucas told me:

- Professor, we must continue - he told me

I could only nod my head, and as we returned to the storm pool, which was our underground lair, I received the call from Liz:

- Professor - Liz told me - I'm Liz

I stopped the bike, took off my helmet, my vest and said:

- Liz, you just gave a putsch - I said to her

"Diego has gone crazy," she informed me, "He was going to blow up the operations yard." Everything is controlled

- No, you don't have it under control - I said - you can't control Diego, he's unpredictable

-He is tied up and guarded 24 hours a day-she told me

- Liz, the plan is falling apart! - I said aloud to her

- I'm still here, Professor - she answered me

- And what are you still there? - I said to her - Without Diego, we are unable to get the gold. Or do you know how to get it out? Hey? And without Emily. And without Lucia.

I sat on a rock that was there. My tears came out of my eyes again. And I said to Liz:

-Diego was running away because he's the only smart thing to do

- Professor - Liz told me - you have been my guardian angel. Now is my turn

I rubbed my hand over my eyes to wipe the tears off my face.

- How was it? - Liz asked me

- She died for not giving me away - I said Liz

- I'm so sorry - she told me

- I ... I was camouflaged in a tree and there were soldiers and police everywhere. She was on a farm. There they found her. They knelt, unarmed, and asked about me. And I ran and ran ... and they said to her: Where is the Professor? And I: Tell him, Lucia. Tell them where I am, tell them I'm going to surrender, please. I do not know. She said again: I don't know where the Professor is. And they shot her 2 times. Being unarmed, she was shot twice. And I did not arrive on time - I told Liz as the tears came out of my eyes again, and I could not do anything to avoid them

There was a moment of silence, until Liz said to me:

- But did you see it?

- No ... - I said while moving my head to both sides

- Did you just hear it? - she asked me

- Yes ..- I said while moving my head up and down

- Did you see how they took the body out? - she asked me

- I had to run away - I replied

- Listen to me - she told me - I heard my mother tell me to come home. That I would be safer there. But there were 20 policemen waiting for me in the kitchen. In the tent ... they also heard us escape from the bank. But here we continue. It was just a hooded ferret. Have they published something?

- Nothing - I said to her

-Just like with Robert-she answered me, and she finally said-if they really killed her, we'd know

It was then, that, with everything Liz told me, and all the foundations and evidence from her, I got up off the rock, and said:

- They are questioning her
