Infection

The Romero's field, located on Route 12, had more than 300,000 hectares, but they also had fields in Patagonia, and of course in the north, but the point of experiment was the province of Entre Rios.

In her stolen documents Maria de la Cruz, wrote that the point of infection was only in the center of the Argentine map, and she also reported that the local and Mexican government were aware of these negligences and that of course, they charged an important sum of money in exchange for their silence, but they could not expand their infested cattle anywhere. It was an extremely unbreakable deal, otherwise war would break out between them.

Maria de La Cruz was not allowed to call her bosses by phone, cell phone, or any similar technological device, nor to write under any material, she had to wait to return to her country with the mission accomplished, or they would look for her and kill her.

Of Emiliano Romero, there was no news, it was known that he was in the fields, but she had never been able to see him.

The winter break finally arrived in Argentina, and since she was not allowed to visit her beloved homeland, she had no choice but to redeem her way of thinking and make use of the car that had been assigned to her at the beginning of the mission, then she rented a cottage in Entre Ríos and spent her vacation under the cozy fire of the salamander and the so relaxing aroma of the hawthorn. In the second week of winter vacation, he had run out of provisions, so he decided to leave the comforting cabin and go shopping. He went into the first store he could find, filled the trunk of the car with junk food and alcohol. He was about to return when he decided to stop at a bar that seemed to be very striking, entered, sat down and asked for the menu, ordered the traditional food of the place "Sábalo frito", and asked for a fine wine; The owner of the bar, noticing such a beautiful tourist, served her a traditional beer of the area, courtesy of the house told her; She very politely accepted. Suddenly something happened, everyone was positioning themselves at their work stations, the waitress cleaned and prepared one of the tables excessively, a man in a formal dress sat there, it seemed that everyone ran to attend him but they were also uncomfortable with his presence, behind him, a young man dressed in traditional gaucho clothes entered.

María de la Cruz recognized him, at last, Emiliano Romero, he was in front of him, but due to the excessive public that surrounded them she could not intervene, however she had to act before he lost the opportunity. Maria de la Cruz, goes to the bathroom, she gets desperate, she does not know how to act in front of the situation, she leaves the bathroom and goes back into it, she cries, she does not find the right way to face this immense situation. She understands all that his presence implies for her, the loss of her life, in exchange for a great young man who lacks nothing, he had everything, how unfair life is, she thought, how much impotence she felt in those moments, suddenly she decides to calm down and leave the bathroom, maybe that day was not the right one to face it, because she was not prepared, and besides, -she lied to herself saying- I am on vacation, deep down she knew that it was not so. She dried her tears and went out, but fortunately in the hallway of the bathroom their gazes crossed intensely, he recognized her, and she fell in love.

The tachycardia of Maria de la Cruz's heart does not allow her to behave calmly. She decides to pay the bill that she had not yet consumed, she argues that she had a sudden commitment and must return home. She quickly leaves for the parking lot, starts her car, when she is about to start, she sees more black cars arriving, apparently she notices strange movements, she decides to wait, maybe she had to do it. Suddenly, the young Emiliano approaches the car, knocks on its window with delicacy, she puts it down with a lot of nerves;

- How can I help you? -says Maria.

- Do I know you? -Emiliano-

- No," Maria answers him.

His inevitable Mexican accent does not allow him to hide, he insists;

- I know you, it's you Maria de la Cruz, you saved my life, oh how lucky, I wanted to meet you, wait I'll call my dad to introduce you to him, we are very grateful for your great gesture Maria, do you understand that I owe you my life, and I could never thank you personally. You are as beautiful as I remembered you. -Emiliano-

- As you remember me, you were fainting that day. -said Maria.

- So it was you. I recognized you by your unforgettable look, and those little honey-colored eyes.

She realizes the mistake she made, she leaves herself uncovered and must continue pretending, when she tries to continue talking, more men get out of the car, dressed in black suits and at that moment she thinks she sees her boss, and she only wished to die at that moment, a man with a penetrating look observed her from far away.

The situation became even more complicated, she did not know what to do, whether to leave or stay, but she preferred the first option, she told the boy that she should leave, that they would talk another time, he asked for her cell phone number, or at least the name of her social network, she replied that she did not have any social network, or any electronic element that would keep her online.

- You must wait for destiny to cross us again. I think your father needs you, he has more friends who have joined the "reunion" or "party"? -Maria-

- You mean those men? They are Mexican associates of my father.  They come to do business with him, nothing that interests me, besides they don't need me, I never participate in their meetings, and honestly I don't know very well what their business is about, I only know that they tried to rob me, they shot at me and you saved my life. Let's get out of here, we can go in your car if you prefer, I don't want to miss this opportunity, destiny has crossed us, and we have to celebrate it.

- Okay Emiliano, but I want you to know that this is a very bad idea. Let's go to my cabin, it's near here.

That day Maria De a Cruz, would have been totally intrigued with the supposed meeting that the romeros had, in a place that seemed to be easy, for men like them. It was definite that she would ask Emiliano Romero about that matter.
