Mery's mansion was in an elite complex area which surprised David.
He was surprised because the complex was guarded by quite a number of heavily armed soldiers.
One could not enter the complex unless special permission was obtained from the manager.
Even the complex of French national officials were not guarded that tightly. David knew because yesterday he was there, at Isabel's mansion.
But what surprised him was that it wasn't an official complex. It was just a private complex where rich people lived.
To David, this was really funny and strange.
Why were soldiers guarding a complex for rich people? Shouldn't it be guarded by private security?
David didn't need an explanation from Mery. He understood what was happening. Maybe this was something common in developing countries.
The taxi wasn't allowed into the complex, but Victor came to pick them up at the gate, so they went home with him.
