THE EVIL OF THE GOOD GUYS CHAPTER 15
Sofia excitedly ran to her room in the cottage Larry rented her so she could calm her nerves without her son seeing her. She felt like a teenager. That afternoon she would no longer be gazing at the cottage as she did each time, still feeling impressed to live in such a beautiful place. She was present at her son's chores, but couldn't find a way to refuse the dinner she was sure Larry and his wife Fabiola would propose. She called her sister and asked to connect with her via video call. Dolores wanted to see her nephew and so she did, but Sofia was feeling impatient. As soon as she could, keeping an eye out for Liam watching something on the living room TV screen, she went back into her room and closed the door. She spoke slowly and quietly so that nothing could be heard outside. "What's the matter? You look so strange." "I popped into Leonel Vos," Sofia said. Dolores, a woman in her forties with features very similar to those of her younger sister, with the difference of her h

"This way!" She followed the thick and somewhat hoarse voice of Leonel Vos to her left, crossed to the right, and a clearing opened up for her to see, well-lit, a table beautifully decorated with glassware and china, white tablecloth and with some details, wooden chairs and he, the boss of all, dressed in a black suit. Sofia, for a moment, stopped walking, her legs almost didn't respond. He looked very, very handsome and was already waiting for her, standing with the chair she would occupy, pulled up for her to sit down. Leonel exhaled a muted puff of air after she sat down. Before proceeding, she greeted him, smiled, and at the same time removed her cloth jacket that exposed a black, thin-striped, V-neck dress that was not intended to be sensual or evening; it was a cocktail dress, above attached to her skin, unlike the skirt, which went slightly above her knees. For the first time, he was seeing Sofia with cleavage and found this one to be very sensual. Her hair was straight and

Sofia saw the envelope and looked at it with a question mark on her face. He waited until he sat down to explain. In his gaze, there was a peculiar cynicism. The mask of hardness was already on. "Sofia, if you open the envelope, you will find the same thing I gave you five years ago. Open it." The girl didn't move immediately, only to open quickly the envelope, she was getting fed up with so much mystery. Her breath held as she saw what the contents were about. "You have two days to leave the country. If you wouldn't like to go back to Spain, I can take care of that. Just tell me where you'd like to go and I'll arrange it." Leonel stared at her, serious, nothing moved on his face. One of his legs was bent, one ankle on one knee, his back glued to the chair, his elbow resting on it, watching, observing the features of the beautiful Sofia who was trying to process everything. "What is this?" She looked at him, incredulous. "A very bad tasted joke?" "Sofia, you were wrong to come

Sofia moved away from the door, stepping backward, tired of knocking and shouting. She understood that had gotten herself into a serious problem, into a cave that might not have an exit. She looked at her hand, still holding the plane tickets, and remembered, at breakneck speed, everything Leonel had told her. «Gael has changed, the father of your child is not the same. He will hurt you, to you and Liam. Get out of here, go back to Spain!» «He brought me here to get me out of town. He invited me to dinner just for that, just to send me back.» She glued her ear to the metal, wincing because the material was cold. She couldn't hear anything. He had told her that the place was soundproofed. She regretted not picking that up as a sign that this dinner would go very badly. «But that's what he wants, he wants everything to go wrong here. He just wants me to leave. So why did he leave me locked up?» "Why did you leave me locked up in here?!" she cried helplessly, crying again, wiping h

Before crossing, circling the outside of the house, Sofia hid behind some bushes to get a better look at the black vehicle parked in a corner. She looked at the ground and swallowed the dryness in her throat. Frank was already gone. It was still early, so she convinced herself that in the big house, they might still be awake. So trying to make as little noise as possible, she ran to the annex Larry rented for her. Her son was not in the room; he must still be in the main house. Under other circumstances, she would go looking for him, not now. She locked herself in her room. Locking the door, she began to cry; she needed it like never before. She restrained herself inside the van because she decided not to show herself like that in front of Mr. Vos' employee. Sofia cried a lot, glued to the wood. When she managed to calm down, she took out her cell phone again and dialed 911, but didn't hit the green button. "What am I going to tell them?" She looked for her sister's number, look

Sofia's footsteps were camouflaged by the thickness of the grass, but it was very early. It was not yet 06:00 in the morning, and the silence was so quiet that even a fly could be heard, so she had to be very careful. Hesitant, nervous, but also desperate, the young woman spotted the black van, very similar to the one that had left her there the night before, and stopped at the corner where she had expected to see it. She exhaled once and stood in front of the passenger door. She could barely see her image through the glass, but she had no desire to analyze any of her features at that hour. The decision was made; she would not back down and was already prepared to know what to say without letting the subject go any further than it might at any moment. Raymond opened the door, letting her in. The silence of the space enveloped them. He looked straight ahead and started the van... "No," she said, "what are you doing?" "Getting out of here?" She looked back, then all around. On th

We have been friends since the intelligence department, although Leo and I already knew each other in the traffic police". Sofia listened and looked at him, but her whole body had frozen there inside that vehicle as if the cold outside had penetrated the bodywork. "There was a delicate situation in the department, it was affecting us. We had to work for people we didn't want to work for, do things we didn't want to do, collaborate in dubious cases with strange methods, and it's not easy to quit in a job like that, or to get a change for another headquarters. So we made plans to fight these people who were our bosses in the end. It didn't work. Well, it worked, but only for a very short time. Leonel had been demoted when he came in police custody of your person." He paused, watching for Sofia's reactions. "Things didn't continue in the best way after we managed to get you out of the country. ""What happened after that? Why are you still a detective and Leonel is not?" There was sile

Elizabeth Cord's barefoot swung like a pendulum in time with her discomfort. Leonel had left her embarked once again. Dressed in red lingerie, she had kicked off her stilettos from the exhaustion of waiting for her partner, or at least, the man she had been dating. She was a patient woman, but she didn't like feeling foolish or being made fun of. She used to take a deep breath every time tycoon Leonel Vos decided on her, but this shipment wouldn't pass up. She dialed the phone number several times, but none of them were answered, neither by him nor by Frank. The calls went to voicemail with only a few rings, which meant that Leonel was rejecting her. On the bed, that man used to adore her in ways no gentleman ever had before. It always depended on his mood, sometimes on how his day was going, if he made money, or if some project came to fruition. And it wasn't often, but he did seek her out, he would come to her on rare occasions. When that happened, Elizabeth would cancel everyth

Leonel and Sofia were in a part of the gear of the San Juan house, near the pool area. It was daytime, almost lunchtime. Both of them stood, hugging, enjoying the quietness they needed. She took her cheek off Leonel's chest to look at him, caress him, and let him caress her. "Are you feeling well?" she asked, worried. They had operated on him again; his internal stitches had been compromised, and she wanted to be careful not to hurt him. He smiled and denied it at the same time. "That's for me to ask you." He lightly caressed his girlfriend's left shoulder; she was wearing a short-sleeved blouse, and the dressing of her wound could be seen through the fabric. "Are you sure you don't need one of these?" He moved his injured arm a little, talking to her about the sling he was wearing again. "Your friend's wife told me it's not necessary." "Great. If Pilar says so, it must be so; it means you will heal soon." "Yes, she's very good at what she does, I'm glad you contacted that nur

"Baby, look at me! LOOK AT ME! Sofia, don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes, baby, keep looking at me... Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?!" "We're local police, let us help. We have to take her immediately to the hospital," one of the officers announced in English, trying to get Leonel to let the authority that managed to get there do their job since the ambulance hadn't yet arrived and had to act fast. Leonel took his girlfriend in his arms, he wouldn't let that man touch her. He ran to the patrol car, his truck was further away. They opened the back door, he got in with her, the officer who spoke to him got in front of the steering wheel, a colleague of his in the other front seat, and they sped off with sirens blaring, while the co-pilot radiated the situation, calling for backup. Dolores, who was still in the street, was crying inconsolably, hugging Liam, placing her face against his chest with the intention of not letting him hear, or listen. Other policeme

"I'm sorry, officer, you can't make me get into any car, I haven't committed any crime." From the vehicle stationed behind, the back door opened. "Cut the crap, Sofia, and get in the car. Let's go." One step back, stiffening, holding her child tighter, the teacher could feel the sulfur stink emanating from the voice of Gael Cliff himself, who had spoken to her. "What are you doing here? No, no! Help!" She wanted to take advantage of the fact people were recording, shouting for help as a way of making them see that these guys were bad and wanted to harm them. "Help me, help us, please! Help! They want to kidnap us!" "Mom, Mom, what's wrong?" Liam's whimpering touched Sofia's heart, it made her angry at the discomfort of living through that dreadful moment. Her little boy was so scared. "It's going to be ok, honey. Leo and his people are coming for us; nothing bad is going to happen to us." "My dear son, wouldn't you like to see what I have for you in the van?" "Don't say a wor

Dolores approached Leonel a few minutes after Liliana cleaned the broken glass from the cup he threw on the floor. "Is it true what that article says?" Leonel turned his face to look at her "Excuse me?" "Sofia told me everything and I know it couldn't have been you who did that atrocity with that girl, but are you involved?" Leonel looked at her as if she had grown three heads. "Are you saying that I had her killed?" She looked at him with apprehension and doubt but also boldness and determination. "You aren't a meek dove," Leonel straightened up, "you have your past. All that money you show now must not have been earned in a good way and now this..." Leonel stood up from the chair, and Dolores took a step back. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the gesture. "Dolores, but what...?" "I called the police." Leonel stopped breathing. "What?" She felt a pressure in her chest. "I dialed the Interpol numbers and told them you were here. The numbers are listed in the articl

"Sofia, can I talk to you for a moment?" The teacher nodded to the principal of the school where she worked, then followed him into his office. "Sit down, please." She obeyed. "I'm so glad you came today. I understand you will no longer be attending the event with the mayor." «What?». Sofia looked at her cell phone screen, she had a missed call from Leonel. «So we won't be going to the event; he was surely calling me to tell me and giving classes I didn't answer him.» She made a mental note to call her boyfriend after that reunion. "Yes, well, I couldn't miss this last day of classes. Besides, I've made arrangements with some students in the higher grades to continue online classes to prepare them for next year's tests." "Are these classes private, or are they on the school's account?" She frowned. "Aren't they part of the academic curriculum?" "No, Sofia. If you're going to teach off-site, you'll have to charge the students separately." She was very surprised by the way the

Dolores found out every detail the next morning, her younger sister thought it was a good idea to tell everything. Dolores didn't like what was happening. She always accepted Sofia's decisions despite refuting them, but this time, she wanted to be more attentive. Leonel talked to Adam in the pool area. Sitting around one of the tables and under an umbrella, totally alone, taking advantage of the fact that Liam was in class and Sofia was working right there, the businessman was able to find out the health status of his lawyer's assistant through a phone call. Lawyer Adam Coney's worker had a severe blow to her head, doctors were keeping her sedated while she recovered from her injury, so she could not issue a statement yet. However, Adam filed the complaint with the emphasis of immediately finding the culprits of that attack, linking the assault to the Elizabeth Cord case, having the evidence in his hands of her attendance at that hearing which someone—they didn't know if it was Eli

It was a cool night, clear skies in that part of San Juan. The water was warm thanks to the pool system. Leonel had been swimming for a few minutes. It was a little difficult at first, but he found the perfect trick to do it without his arm. Now his feet were the only limbs submerged in the water. Wearing only a shorty-type swimsuit, he ingested some black soda with ice in a short glass. For the first time, he felt good. And the confirmation of this was given by the simple fact of being there with a group of people he could call Family. He thought of his mother. Living in the United States, south of Albany, she was the only blood family he had left. He had visited her little lately, although Frank helped him to make sure she lacked for nothing. He thought about bringing her to Puerto Rico, introducing her to Sofia, that she would also meet Liam and they would spend some time together in that beautiful place. While his longings and thoughts about it were shaping new plans, his cel

Lawyer Adam Coney's assistant arrived at his apartment on the outskirts of the Big Apple's largest Latino neighborhood. It was already late at night, she was carrying a huge fatigue, high heels that she was crazy to throw over any part of her apartment, and folders in her hand, along with a leather briefcase. Dressed in office attire, although with a slight dishevelment of her hair thanks to the cold that barely covered the long coat and the few beers on top ingested at the bar in the corner of the buffet, she lamented once again because that nice housing complex used magnetic cards for the doors, missing very much some keys as she fought with the system failure. About to launch another expletive, the young girl bent down a bit to set the gear on the floor so she could perform the task of unlocking her home with both hands. As she straightened up, a sudden push slammed her against the door. She cried out urgently, but no one would hear her, because the force of the gloved hand si

On the plane, the couple talked about Liam and the decision to live together. Leonel agreed to everything the little boy's mother proposed. It was not the best idea to sleep in the same room when they arrived. They wanted first to explain to Liam how the situation would be from now on, to see if he would accept it, but without stopping spending time together inside the house, investing more time between them as a new couple that longed to settle down in the middle of chaos and fear, with outings, in family life, now that Dolores was there and that the others seemed to join that nice circle. So it was done, all accomplished, and in a couple of days, which were work days for the teacher at the school, as well as school days for the child (these being the last school days of the year), they began to make room for Christmas; it was not yet December, but it was so close, that guided by traditions, they began to decorate the house. They had the time of their lives, as never before. Therap
