Chapter 7 I’Ll Cross His Path Part 2

• AT THE OFFICE
• “It’s Martina.” She said knocking on his office door.
• “Come in.” Alberto responded. She opened the door and walked into the office. She met Alberto’s wife in the office too, and she gulped and put on a smile.
• “Good morning.” She greeted the both of them and his wife smiled widely.
• “Good morning Martina, it’s very nice to see you again. Alberto didn’t tell me you are back in town.” She said looking at Alberto.
• “I’ve been busy and when I get back home you are always asleep baby. I’m sorry.” He apologized and Martina kept the smile on her face.
• “I came few days ago… Work brought me back. I’m not here to stay permanently. How have you been Lucia?” Martina asked.
• “Very fine. He has always been a good husband.” She stated and Alberto smiled.
• “Don’t mind her Martina. She will end up scolding me after this.” He said and they all laughed.
• “I should get going now. Get back to work.” Lucia said kissing on the cheek.
• “Bye.” Martina said to her and she winked at her as she walked out of the office.
• “She is still very beautiful.” Martina said and Alberto smiled.
• “Thank you. We should get to work, come and sit here.” He said pointing to the chair in front of him.
• She stood up from the couch she sat and walked to the chair. She sat on it and looked at him.
• “So… here, have this.” He said passing a pamphlet to her. She reached for the pamphlet and collected it.
• Alberto’s eyes caught with the bracelet on her hand and he held her hand before she could take it back.
• “Wow, you still have this.” He said staring at the bracelet.
• “Yes, I don’t throw my stuffs away most times.” She said and he let go of her hand.
• “I’m sorry.” He said and she shook her head.
• “It’s fine. So what is inside this?” She asked opening the pamphlet.
• “List of people he has killed, women he has been with, their information, and all other necessary things you should know about him.” He said and she nodded.
• “This good, I’ll check this when I get home.” She said and he nodded.
• “Martina, you know you can stop if you don’t want to do this. We could think of other ways to get him.” He said worriedly and she smiled.
• “Alberto, I’m fine with this. Trust me, I’d help you get him. He has been an asshole for so long, time to put an end to that.” She said and he smiled nodding.
• “Thank you so much.” He said and she shook her head.
• “You don’t have to thank me. I’m doing what I have to do.” She told and he smiled.
• “So what is your plan? Last night was incredible, you did really well. I saw you got him to look at you, you got his attention.” Alberto uttered.
• “Yes I did, and I’m so happy I did. But that is just the beginning. I’ll cross his path again.” She said and Alberto placed his hands on his table.
• “How do you intend doing this?” He asked and she smiled.
• “Pretty simple, that same bar but this would be another case. I’m still thinking about it though, I don’t know if it’s a good idea.” She said and he furrowed his brows.
• “What are you planning?” He asked.
• “I’d go to the bar again, and this time I’d be in a position of help. I mean, I’d pay someone to act like he wants to rap me and then I run to one of Roberto’s men because I’ll make sure I’m pretty close to them.” She said and Alberto narrowed his gaze.
• “And what if he kills the person acting like the rapist? Or even you?” He asked.
• “He wouldn’t want to kill him because that would mean he is on my side, and he isn’t because I stood against him, this is something that no one has ever done in years. He wouldn’t kill someone that didn’t offend him I guess.” She explained and Alberto nodded thinking about it carefully.
• “And what if he kills you?” He asked.
• “I bet he wouldn’t, he wouldn’t just want to kill me like that, not after what happened last night. That would mean he is following what the people thinks he should do, and like I researched he liked doing things his own way. Moreover, that’s the main reason why I’d run to his men and not him.” She further explained with confidence and Alberto smiled widely.
• “What?” She asked looking at him.
• “You are still the very intelligent Martina I knew.” He said and she smiled faintly.
