"Sofia, you have a visitor, can we come in?"

She listened to Larry and closed her eyes.

"Yes, of course, you can come in."

The director opened the door.

Leonel looked at the woman, he didn't move from the doorway. Now that he was there, he could understand the teacher's living situation. The apartment was small, but it looked cozy. He could see everything quickly, barely detailing things, but seeing her standing there, dressed so beautifully and looking into her eyes, which, despite the distance, he found sadness in them, almost destroyed his chest by the amount of emotions he began to experience.

She looked directly into his face, but he could not hold her gaze.

"Good evening, Mr. Vos. Well, it is almost late. Larry, have you been having a good time?"

The director felt his heart shrink. He witnessed the moment when the businessman passed by her and entered the house, approaching her in short strides.

"Sofia, I wish we could talk," Leonel said.

The woman still didn't look at

    Sofia was puzzled by the question. "The video of the tortures," she said. He froze again and approached her. "Sofia, how did you find out what Gael did to me? Didn't he tell you?" "He gave me his cell phone to show me a video." She swallowed thickly, trying not to let her stomach churn again with the images recorded in her memory. Leonel's gaze seemed to tinge with a strange mantle, something unhinged caused him to lose himself for a moment. "I didn't know he was recording." He turned his face toward her, but he couldn't see her. A sort of smile was about to appear. "So... he didn't tell you about it, but... you saw it?" Leonel reacted. "Fuck. Fuck, you saw it!" He put his hands on his head and turned away, turning his back on her, disgusted with himself for creating something as frightening as terror in that woman. "No way, you've seen it all. C'mon, what a fucking asshole!" He continued to wail, burying his fingers in his hair once more. She lowered her head, seeing him exp

    Sofia removed the blanket from her face late at night. Larry's party eventually came to an end amidst singing, piano playing, dancing, drinking, and company she never expected. Raymond's sister attended, but her brother didn't, and Sofia thanked God for that, she just wanted to spend the rest of the night in peace, without too many complications already. Leonel looked at her and stayed close all night. They even managed to talk about the campus and things about Liam, who came up to them and was in their company during the cake bite. Larry, for his part, watched them still worried, but he understood that he should not insist on knowing more and that he would give the teacher time to tell him everything herself. Leonel left early and promised that he would see her very soon. He promised her that the men stationed out there would drive her to and from school and that she would work normally because he was sure that Gael would not do anything right away. If he had this plan between his

    Elizabeth sat down on the largest piece of furniture, right in the middle of it, and crossed her naked legs, smeared with glistening, seductive body cream, the woman had preened herself thoroughly before she got there, ready for a great night with the man of her dreams. Leonel returned shortly thereafter and with the bottle tucked into an ice bucket, a white tea towel over his shoulder. His attire was casual. He wore a white shirt with sleeves rolled up, his dress pants were still on, but his shoes were off, he was barefoot and she was fascinated by that. Despite having seen him many times without any clothes, it was strange to see him like this. His hair was neatly combed and cut, and no beard, any stubble that he sometimes let grow, was cut. She noticed him relaxed, even friendly, it was all a bit strange, the woman felt surprised almost, because always that "lion" (as she called him) showed himself at all times as someone very serious and strong-willed, however, she would not allo

    The woman looked into Leonel's burning eyes. Her heart broke a little more when she heard those words; the same ones that defined this man's life were none of her business. "We've been bedded for a long time, I've been giving you my body for all kinds of pleasures for years. If a woman appears out of nowhere and wants to take me out of the way, I'll do everything I can to make sure things don't turn out that way." Leonel felt tired and fed up listening to her, though a little regretful for having kept up his sexual dalliances with her all that time. The woman possessed knockout curves; she was sexy and good in bed. She put up with whatever his moods elicited, but he adored nothing else about her; he never felt anything for that girl. Around a corner, Frank Loman appeared in the shadows, the most reserved one in that apartment. Leonel then focused his gaze once again on the maddened woman, who, jealous, continued to claim from him that love that she demanded to be considered. "Are

    Sophia and Larry found themselves in the kitchen. It was quite late, several hours after the party, and neither could fall asleep. "What are you going to do?" was the director's question after she told him everything, every detail of what was happening. Leaning back against the counter, she reached behind her to touch the counter and lean against it. "Ask me that again tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or maybe Monday. Or never, maybe? I don't want to know what I should do or what I shouldn't do; it's exhausting." Larry smiled sadly. He lowered his face, focused his eyes on the floor, and back on her. "Is there any chance you could go to another state in the country? Or maybe... some confederation of the country? Some unincorporated territory of the nation?" She scrunched up her face in a smile of disbelief. "What are you talking about? I don't know what the chances are of anything, Larry; I'm lost right now. Leonel and I agreed to square all this away, but that's as far a

    "I'm sorry I didn't come to the director's party yesterday, I was working," Raymond explained a few seconds after she hung up. "No problem." She put on her seatbelt and that's when she saw it: the Nordic's car stopped at a corner very close to the house. Her whole body went into tension. Raymond noticed how she pressed herself closer to the seat. "You sure have met Asgard." She looked up at him. Sofia still wondered how this man who represented the law could know about the existence of these people who seemed to represent everything that was wrong with Albany, but at the same time, her brain made her conclude that precisely because he was a lawman, he must know all the secret and dark loopholes of the place. Besides, she could not ignore the confession he made to her so few days ago, about having been a colleague of Leonel Vos and being in the middle of it all. "Asgard... As if I had gone to see him alone" she threw out the words bitterly. They arrived at the school. All vehicle

    Twelfth dawned and after all the protocol, where Raymond once again drove her (the same way they did the day before, with Liam in the principal's car), teacher Sullivan managed to say goodbye to her students, apologized for the inconvenience, and corroborated with them every class, their contact list, phone numbers and email addresses. She emphasized that her educational plan would be to continue with online classes, although she emphasized talking first with their parents about it, to see if they agreed with this method. Still, she was hopeful that after the pandemic hit the world, families with children in the educational system were already accustomed to using virtual methods for learning. She saw no other way to keep in touch with her new life in Stone Village. Larry was in full agreement and that made the board not exclude her from upcoming payroll payments. «Okay, I'm out of here, done; I got it.» Sofia was shaking her hands and thinking about it constantly, several times, out

    «They guard her too much; this is crazy,» Elizabeth thought, who had also joined the line of people surrounding Principal Larry McDonald's house. The woman couldn't help herself. She had too much anger built up, and she felt humiliated, even though she knew exactly what her mistake was. And it wasn't just the blackmail of Leonel's employee, who she thought should have been fired by now. She was sure that the biggest mistake was to have fallen in love with Mr. Vos. Now, with every neuron in her brain on him, she couldn't turn away, she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. Try as she might, she could not manage to take any steps other than being close to the reason she felt ruined what little had with the businessman. When she left the building, didn't leave the area at once, she stayed patiently and very close to wait for one of the people who worked for Leonel to make an appearance out of there, or for him, even if it was the next day; she was willing to wait until

    "Thank you for waiting," Sofia said to Raymond after she had asked his permission to go and change. She was not so foolish as not to notice the looks he gave her as soon as she approached. Raymond rose from the furniture to politely greet her in the living room, where he made himself comfortable while waiting for the teacher. He sat back down when she did. Sofia in a single-seater and he in the three-seater armchair. "Okay, Raymond, tell me, what's going on? What are you doing in San Juan?" "Nothing's going on, Sofia. I know it may seem strange for you to travel back here, but I needed to do a few things here on the island. As you may have noticed, I work together with Leonel. You will likely see me often when it comes to his business." "Okay, it's fine, although I don't understand much, you manage at your own pace. Where is he?""He's busy." Ray avoided the pressure of his jaw. She stared at him. "He tightened the security in this house, then you come... Why all this? And why

    It was already 20:00hrs in San Juan, and Leonel had not answered a couple of calls and text messages. Frank called her, explaining his boss sent word that he would contact her soon and apologized for the inconvenience and absence, he was attending to matters that consumed all his time. Half an hour after she hung up the short conversation with Mr. Loman, Liliana arrived out of her working hours, bringing with her a couple of pizzas and soft drinks, plus some desserts that, according to the cook, were sent by Mr. Vos as an apology. Sofia didn't say anything, but it all seemed very strange to her. However, she didn't know exactly what Leonel's work routines were like, the exact things he was dedicated to, she didn't know the details of his specific tasks. Food plans at Larry's school? In other schools or NGOs? Sale of the articles he saw that time when he invited her to dinner? Coordination of companies, management of shares, assets, protocol acts, commitments with personalities, inv

    Frank sat in front of his boss's bed, who was lying down, resting from an operation on his left arm. Mr. Vos would recover, but the bullet wound tore the muscle, entering from the shoulder and exiting a point below, causing cracks and splinters in the forearm bone. The businessman should have been operated on immediately, but Frank himself, aided by the family doctor and his influences, arranged to leave the hospital as soon as possible. After what had happened, they couldn't risk staying inside the medical center at the mercy of any of Gael Cliff's henchmen. "Now this looks like a clinic," Mark joked, entering the room and speaking in a low tone so as not to wake Vos. "What the hell happened?" he asked, already seated in another corner of the room. "I think that Mr. Cliff wanted to prove a point of authority over Leonel, albeit a messy one. He didn't ask very intelligent questions. He insisted on knowing where his son's mother was and by logic, he must already know. We thought he

    Sofia was not feeling well that day, it seemed that the previous night's dinner had gone bad for her.She experienced a fever in the early morning, which she cured on her own by taking medicine. "Liam?" she said to her son, who was entering her room. She stretched to check the time on her cell phone. It was about 06:00 in the morning. "Mommy, are you okay? Why aren't you out of bed yet?" Sofia wrinkled her eyebrows tenderly as she saw her little boy worried and talking in his tiny voice. "Oh, honey. Yes, I've been feeling a little sick since last night, but I'm better now. I'll be changing soon, okay? Now, tell me something, I see you already dressed, why did you get up so early?" She was really surprised to see her son ready to go to school when there was more than an hour left for his classes to start. "I woke up to a noise." She accentuated the furrowing of her brows. Liam was not a light sleeper, especially at night, as opposed to naps, the few times he took them. "What no

    "I'd love to put a bullet between those wretched eyebrows," Gael growled. "I don't know what you're waiting for." Gael looked into Leonel's dark eyes. "If you won't do it, then put that gun down, your arm is going to get tired," Leonel said.Gael took a couple of seconds, but he lowered the gun and smiled as if he was dumbfounded by something in particular. "Leo-Leo, the businessman who orders." He laughed. "I'll pretend that none of your detective friends are around here, somewhere in the walls or on the ceiling, waiting for me to say something that will bring the fucking police here." He pointed around with his gun and gestured with his free hand. "I'll also pretend I'm crazy enough to imagine you've already made a deal with your old Intelligence department to turn me in like a Thanksgiving turkey. Anyway, I came all this way so that you could tell me yourself what you intend to do with Sophia and what the plan is to use her. I certainly don't know exactly where you've taken her

    Everyone would know perfectly well that the place was not watched by any camera. Only a few knew that Leonel once, not so distant that time, came to own shares of the place, that after parading almost completely from Gael's ranks, he sold those shares to never again own anything that would link him to Mr. Cliff. However, Leonel kept going to that improvised gym, a huge and transformed shed with a wide space, almost as big as a mini hangar, but he did it in very specific cases, those in which the businessman needed to touch from time to time that opaque world devoid of feelings. The parking lot was open; no one could notice anything strange; it was just vehicles entering the site like any other night; with the difference that day, it would be closed for training. Neither Frank nor he said anything at all, silence was the best behavior they could perform as they drove the van into the large covered parking lot of the shed. Both gentlemen could see the Nordic man standing by the back d

    The hours passed under great tension. Frank was worried about his boss, who had not left his room all afternoon, after moving from the mini-mall back to the building to get ready before going to meet Gael Cliff. Mark was prescribed rest that day, as he had hardly had any, so he didn't notice their arrival on the floor. The time to leave for the meeting at Troy arrived, Loman was to let Mr. Vos know that they were to leave. Leonel permitted him to enter the bedroom after hearing the knock on the door. Loman found him readying his gun and placing it behind his back, pulling his jacket over his black sweater, and tucking his gloves into his pockets. He turned and Frank could see the determination washing over his boss's face. "All set?" Vos asked. "Yes, sir. The team is waiting downstairs and another one has already started." "Raymond?" "Monitor the area. He left for there an hour ago." Leonel nodded. With his bulletproof vest on over his sweater, his thick jacket with zipper i

    Liliana gave a splendid smile. She sat down in one of the high chairs across the counter from the teacher. "Boricuas love romance as much as we love to party. And we can smell the chemistry of two people a mile away." She shrugged and stood up. "I don't know what the story is between you, but there's candela, there's candela pura." Sofia laughed, felt her cheeks flush, and hated herself for it. What the cook said reminded her of some people back in Spain. "You take me back to my years in Madrid. By the way, I met some of your fellow countrymen there. Not many, mostly clients of the restaurant where I worked. Are you usually that extroverted all the time?" "Well, what can I tell you? Yes, yes we are. Not all of us, but it's something that is definitely in our blood." She pointed to her arm. It's inevitable, you know? And it gets rough when we get infatuated with someone. And wham, there we are, watching and seeing everything, so we don't miss anything." Sofia loved the accent of

    Sofia furrowed as she saw one of the guards sitting in front of the house. "New position?" she asked Mr. Francisco, as she sat in the front passenger seat of the vehicle. The teacher had steadfastly refused to ride in the back seat next to Liam, especially when they were just going to school, it also happened when they went shopping. Sofia still felt uncomfortable with so much privilege. "I think Mr. Vos transferred him to that job today." The chauffeur almost shrugged. "But we already have to go with a security team back there." She looked in the rearview mirror, spotting the vehicle following them; at that moment, it was parked next to the curb, just like them. "Live with another team surrounding the house, have fixed communications on recording alert in case a suspicious call comes in, not to mention the alarms activated 24 hours a day, the cameras around the perimeter..."
