What should I do? Well maybe I should just tell Alexander about the stolen van to help Alexia.
"We need your help Alexander" i said "Alexia's van was stolen and her equipments that she wants to use for her world tour is in that van".
Alexia asks, her voice full of anger "We heard that you have some... connections. People who knows about these things.
Daniel, the cautious one among all of us says "We want information Alex. And if you can help us find the van, we would compensate you... accordingly". He emphasizes on the word 'accordingly' leaving the term deliberately vague.
Alexander leans back on his chair and studies our faces, his expression unreadable. After a long time, he chuckled
"Connections, you say? I do have connections but they come with something important...money".
"I know" I nodded "I know that connections cost money and I promi....."
"Don't make a promise you can't keep" Alexander said interrupting me "Well, tell me more about this stolen van".
Then I reached to Alexia and she opened her bag and gave me a photo. I passed the photo to Alexander. Alexander took the photo and looked at the photo with disgust.
"Wow, so this is the van you are talking about. But...who in his right sense would still this.....rickety and old or worn-out van".
I didn't say anything in return because I knew what he said was true. Even I, Daniella Rodriguez would never steal such a van.
"Well, I can help you look for the van. But I can't do it alone. My cousin Leon and his.....friends would help you look for the van" Alexander said to us.
We were very happy. I was sure that we would see that van with the help of Alexander and his cousin.
"But" Alexander interjected "What are you going to give in return?".
Oh my gosh, Alexander sounds like the devil.
