Chapter 813: The Man Whose Face You Can’t See
“Don’t talk, it’s me.
Carmencita heard the man’s voice and whispered: “Ergo?
Barreda let go of her slightly and whispered: “Someone has entered this hotel and may come after us, I have just contacted the police department, but just in case we have to escape through the window now.
Carmencita’s brain, which was still a little dazed, went into overdrive.
With a jerk, he hastily put on his jacket.
Due to all the unusual circumstances of late, he sleeps only with his jacket off and does not even wear his pyjamas, which is useful in case there is an unexpected incident so that he can flee.
Barreda pulled a rope out of nowhere, tied it and let Carmencita go down first.
It’s the third floor and Carmencita is a bit scared, but she doesn’t want to hold Barreda, so she lets go of the rope with force.
Barreda was relieved to see how obedient Carmencita was.
His legs were still shaking when he fell to the ground.
When Barreda came down as well, he dragged her to a grocery shop on the side and ordered a coffee for one.
The two were sitting next to each other in the supermarket drinking coffee just as they could see a couple of police cars pull up in front of the hostel across the street.
Carmencita turned her head to look at Barreda and saw that he was just staring across the room and had no intention of approaching to meet the policeman.
The policemen jumped out of the car and ran upstairs, and it was not long before several people ran out.
The men were heavily armed and so heavily armoured that it was impossible to see their faces, and they were running fast.
The one at the end was a little slower and was caught by the police.
One of the policemen stood in front of the car and looked around for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and called.
Then Carmencita heard Barreda’s mobile phone ring.
“Is he calling you?” Carmencita asked Barreda curiously.
“Hmm.”
Barreda replied indifferently and there was a pause before picking up the phone.
It was not known what the policeman had said to Barreda, and he heard Barreda say on the phone: “We’re safe now, we’ll see you tomorrow somewhere, eh, bye”.
Hanging up the phone, he got up and said to Carmencita: “Let’s go”.
The two men found a makeshift hotel for the night and went to the police station the next day.
They were met by a man in his thirties who spoke with more authority.
“Marco”.
“Victorian”.
Barreda and Victoriano greeted each other and Victoriano let his eyes fall on Carmencita: “And this is her?”
“My sister, having a tantrum with the family, came running”.
Barreda replied perfunctorily, not even introducing Victoriano to Carmencita, making it clear that he would not tell them who Carmencita was.
But they also knew that the person who would follow Barreda was not a simple person.
“Come in and talk.
Fortunately, Victoriano was not one to talk too much and took them straight to the office.
Victoriano poured water for each of them and sat down: “Last night was a sudden incident, we weren’t well prepared, are you OK?”
“We are fine, but Victorian might want to take a good look at his men, I am not military, no one else knew that when I arrived, and when I arrived in T-town I kept all my movements secret except coming to meet you, and they would attack me in the middle of the night, it cannot be that Montrelle’s side was on to me, it is likely that you have an undercover agent on your side who knew I had met with you and Montrelle’s side guessed my identity and chose to attack at night.”
It was a question I had thought about the night before while sitting with Carmencita over coffee in the supermarket.
He had only been here a short time, and discreetly; Montrelle had just been chased by Marco once before this, and surely all they could think to do was watch the police station, and the support sent from Sky City, and not target him.
I had also spoken to Inocencio on the phone two days earlier and an explicit support team would follow.
Victoriano’s face turned a little ugly at her words, he pursed his lips and spoke with some embarrassment, “Okay, I will definitely take a careful inventory of the people below, where are they staying now?”
“We don’t need Victoriano to worry about where we live. ”
Carmencita looked at Barreda with some surprise; at first glance, his words seemed polite, but on closer inspection, it was clear that he was defending himself against Victoriano.
Victoriano pretended not to hear him and politely dismissed them both.
The place Barreda is looking for this time is a high-end flat.
Carmencita asked him as soon as he entered: “Don’t you trust Victoriano?”
“No.” Barreda closed the door and said as he entered, “Victoriano is the policeman in charge, but Montrelle’s side is already familiar with Victoriano and knows him, and now they must have their eyes on Montrelle, and if we stay in the place Victoriano has arranged for us, those people are sure to find us soon.”
Carmencita nodded, not knowing what to do: “So, …, when are we going to see big brother?
Barreda paused and was silent for a moment before saying: “That depends on when it comes up.
Carmencita looked at him in surprise: “Really?
Barreda, however, simply made a face of circumstance and said no more.
…
The next morning, Barreda set off early.
There is a supermarket in the neighbourhood where you can buy the ingredients and supplies you need on a daily basis, and you don’t even have to leave the neighbourhood.
At ten o’clock he went down to the supermarket to do the shopping.
There was too much stuff and it was a bit difficult to lift it.
Not far away, a tall figure slowly approached and waited until he was behind Carmencita before speaking in a deep voice: “Do you need my help, Miss?
At the sound of the voice, Carmencita froze and turned her head quickly to see a man in cleaning clothes, hat and mask, whose face was not visible.
“Great …,” he opened his mouth to say that word and hastily changed it, “That would be a problem.”
The man took what was in his hand and took a step away from her to follow her.
At the entrance of the lift, she met people who lived on the same floor, and when they saw the cleaner behind her, they spoke with a little curiosity: “When did we ever have such a tall male cleaner in our neighbourhood?”
“I don’t know, it looks like the clothes are not from our neighbourhood …”
“It’s a bit weird growing up so high.”
“Probably those from outside the city”.
The two men’s voices died away and Carmencita gave them a slightly worried look.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The man gave him a reassuring look.
Once inside, he closed the door and reached for the man’s mask, beneath which was an unmistakably familiar face.
Carmencita’s eyes immediately turned red, and with a deflated mouth she shouted “Big Brother” and went over to hug him.
The result was dodged by Marco.
He looked at Carmencita with a cold face: “What brings you here?
He got the news that Barreda was approaching, but he didn’t expect Carmencita to do the same…. What nonsense!
