Chapter 47 - Travolta vs the bear.

At that same moment and a couple of streets away, Benjamin broke into the beauty salón, and when he did not find Lolis and his alleged lover, he questioned the hostess who nervous, told him that the tall guy who had gone to look for his wife, had only left him an envelope and had already left for the boardwalk, And after reviewing the contents of the envelope that only had money and a brief thank-you note, he got into his car to track it all over the boardwalk, with the help of his mother to identify it.

Luz María was still busy in the offices of the world trade center in Gaiatt Square dispatching pending matters, regarding the transfer to the city of the Campeche, for the training of the new collaborators of the company.

While Natalia breathed a sigh of relief to see that her husband recovered from his relapse, and had a moment of respite to go home to take a bath and change clothes.

While Martín still arrived with time to the parking lot of the dome on the boardwalk of Playa Norte, when he received a WhatsApp message from Luz María asking for a few more minutes because she was still busy.

At the same time in La Cruz, Martin's daughters had already fought with the whole family De La Cuesta and took all their personal belongings to return to live in their house, where they had lived with their parents all their lives, which since the tragedy suffered a little more than 7 years ago was abandoned, but it was still habitable and furnished, because the De La Cuesta they had intentions of selling it without having been able to for lack of Martin's signature.

—We'll have to sell the car, Melissa.

Julissa tells her sister, while they lowered clothes and personal items from the car, already parked in the large garage of that family home, where they had lived all their childhood until they were 15 years old, until the moment of the tragedy in which they were rescued by their mother's relatives.

- It doesn't matter that we have to sell our souls to the devil, But we have to find my dad wherever he is!

Although they had already tried to dial the phone that the lawyer had given them, by strange coincidences of fate and network failure, neither she nor they had managed to establish the call, while a chain of fatal events began to be unleashed on Martín, who leaned on the railing of the boardwalk of Playa Norte, while trying to take a picture of an old and huge boat that was overturned There in the distance, as if he had been shipwrecked one day and had never been rescued.

-Your name is; The Sea Lion. –he thought when focusing on it with the zoom of his cell phone camera. -Let's see if tomorrow I have time and I swim to it, maybe it's about 2 or 3 kilometers from here.

The sun was setting behind he when Mrs. Reyna Morante told her son.

- That's the guy!

-Are you sure?

The son asks her as he braked sharply to pull and park in the counter lane of the boulevard.

At that same moment Lolis' green eyes flashed, while she was in the kitchen hearing the jingle of one of her cell phones that were blocked, she left everything to go answer the call that she thought was from Martín but no, it was the number of one of the girls of the beauty salon to warn her of what had happened, And turning everything off on the stove she ran away, but not before telling her nephews and her children that she had to go out of emergency, also to one of her neighbors to be aware of them.

Getting into a taxi dialed Natalia to warn her that her husband had already been released and what had happened in the beauty salon, she hung up the call when she received the tone of an incoming call on the same cell phone she was using, and when answering it she heard the sarcastic voice of her mother-in-law telling her.

- Come here to Playa Norte to see how my Benjamin puts your lover in his place! Here we are for the dome.

But hurry up so you don't miss the show!

- León Martin Jauregui? —Benjamin says, showing him his badge.

-If it is me; What is offered to you, officer?

- You are arrested for drug trafficking! So give yourself up for the good if you don't want me to do it the hard way.

Benjamin tells him trying to take him by the arm to twist and immobilize him, and thus place the handcuffs on him, but Martín did not leave, skillfully slipping and giving him a push.

At that moment his cell phone rang, And he made an automatic movement to his shirt bag to refuse the call, but he inadvertently answered, and the call was left open as he argued with the officer who intended to stop him.

- I don't know what you're talking about, officer and for that you need to present me with an arrest warrant!

Melissa on the other end of the cell phone heard the heated voices of the argument, immediately recognizing her dad's, even though she had not heard his for many years.

-Julissa! He's my dad, I'm sure, but he can't answer me because he seems to be in trouble.

Benjamin decided to forget the official protocols and keeping his badge, he kicked Martin twice, who received one, surprised, but blocked the second by knocking his attacker to the ground, who immediately got up to hit him, while those who were nearby and were passing, stopped when they saw the two huge men engaged in a battle with blows.

Lolis dialed her sister again as soon as she hung up the call with Mrs. Reyna to warn her of the situation, and Natalia boarded her SUV to go to the Playa Norte dome, that was a few blocks from his house, while Lolis too, was already arriving.

At the site of the fight, Martín had already established his muscular supremacy against his enemy, who furious as a bull tried to subdue him several times without success.

- You will have to talk to 3 more, friend, because you alone will not be able to with me!

Martín tells that man that, although he was taller than him and heavier, he had not been able to subdue him.

- I don't need 3 more, asshole! With this little one I have.

Benjamin says taking out his 38th squad of charge aiming at him, but he made the mistake of being very close to that kind of muscular ninja, because of a very fast movement he snatched it, taking him by the arm to whip him on the ground, immediately throwing the weapon on the railing of the boardwalk.

- Make sure the call is being recorded; Melissa! –says Julissa.

- If it's being recorded, I've been checking it for a while!

She replies to her sister that they were still watching the events with the loudspeaker on.

Benjamin, feeling humiliated and that he was not going to be able to beat his enemy, ran to his car to get a shotgun, and when Martín considered that it was best to put dirt in between in that situation, Lolis' strong embrace stopped him by surprising him.

- Now if you are not going to be able to deny that this animal is your lover! —Benjamin says, pointing the shotgun at them.

Luz María and Ángela that they had already arrived, but not locating Martín whose cell phone was occupied, approached the group of onlookers, who seeing that the weapons had already come to light, began to run away from the site, the place had already arrived a patrol of the municipal and another of the state because someone gave notice to 911, and Benjamin to see them told them, while pointing the shotgun at Martín.

- This is the drug trafficker we were looking for!

Natalia also braked abruptly in the middle of the boulevard when she saw the uproar, and when she located Martín being pointed by a shotgun by her brother-in-law, with her little sister in the middle of the two as if interposing, she got out and leaving the car stopped in the middle of the street, took her cell phone to ask for federal units in her aid.

- He is no drug trafficker! –Lolis says furiously. - He is my lover and his commander does not overcome him, and since he could not with him, he is accusing him of what he is not! Did you hear right? He is my lover and since his commander has not managed to overcome him he wants to put charges that he does not have!

In La Cruz, Melissa and Julissa listened excitedly to everything while recording the call.

- I am María Dolores Cocoom Rivas Paoli and he is Commander Benjamín Duarte Morante who does not overcome that his wife who is me, has asked for a divorce to be with a real man who does not need assistants to fix his affairs!

Luz María and Ángela watched and listened to everything among the curious from a distance without being able to intervene.

- Will she be the cousin? — Ángela asks, dumbfounded.

Natalia heard what her incredulous sister said, and still unable to assimilate it, she looked at Martín as she approached.

-Take it off you!

Benjamin tells Lolis as he pulled her away, but she turned around trying to take the gun from him and a gunshot was heard.

- They already killed him! —Julissa says upon hearing the shot.

But no, the shot went into the air, and Benjamin throwing her to the ground was finally able to get rid of Lolis, and when he was about to shoot Martín ; Natalia was now the one standing between the two.

- Lower your weapon, Benjamin! This is not the way to fix things.

- You take off, sister-in-law that this is not your business!

- Don't risk Natalia! You shouldn't be here because this matter is not yours.

Martín says trying to get her out of the way, but she stood firm.

- If it's my business Martin because she is my sister!

Natalia answers covering him and her sister with her body and arms who was already hugging him to protect him.

- That's sure if it's the council!

Luz María says already worried about the development of events and approached to tell Martín.

-Do not resist León, the company's lawyers will get you out of this problem.

Natalia turned to look at her without saying anything, and Lolis hooked her hand to reinforce the human barrier that protected him.

- Not even God saves you from it, you damn!

Benjamin says shooting Martín that he was still leaning on the railing of the boardwalk without being able to give him, because the Rivas Paoli sisters got in the way of the shooting angle.

- SHOOT HIM !

Benjamin shouted and En La Cruz only heard his cry and a couple more shots from the shotgun between the cries of the discussion, before the call was cut, looking at each other ANGUISHED.

While on the boardwalk of Isla de Tris; Benjamin with eyes injected with fury unloaded all the shots of his shotgun towards the sea, when he ran out, he took a pistol from one of his state officers to discharge it at random, looking to hit who had disappeared in the dark waters, a couple of state policemen also fired randomly towards the sea, There were no more curious people on the scene, because it had become a military barracks, where federal and state pointed at each other, while their commander was detained by federal agents, and the municipal ones dedicated themselves to removing the curious and cordoning off the area.

Natalia ordered the federal protocol of search for survivors that was applied when there was a drowning, extending it to the entire beach and while the search was unsuccessful throughout the night, she hugged her sister who cried inconsolably without wanting to leave.

- Was the guy you were defending the one you wanted to introduce me? —Natalia asks Lolis.

"Yes, he was the man I met in the park and told you I wanted to waste the rest of my life with.

- He was also my writer!

She tells Natalia who, unwilling to believe it, hugged her more intensely while they cried together.

Luz María and Ángela had already been removed from the area by the municipal police along with all the onlookers.

- What a tragedy! —Ángela says.

- Poor man! Pity such handsome.

And they boarded the company car very dismayed by what they had witnessed.
