For Better And For Worse
Chapter 112

Anti-drug squad.

Commander Boris leads Krist into the interrogation room. Krist stays at the wall near the door and an agent brings Hector. Boris brings him in, so Krist is behind him. He and Léon join the technique to see and listen.

Krist: hello Mr. Director, surprise!

Hector turns around and gets scared.

Hector: Krist, how come you’re here?

Krist: I put an end to Mr. Gordjo’s drug cartel once and for all and I came home. You should never have joined forces with Gauthier to harm me, Mr. Hector, because anyone who attacks me never gets away with it.

Hector: Gauthier threatened to kill my daughter.

Krist: stop lying. I know you received money from Gauthier to prevent anyone from visiting me when I was locked up. Then he paid you to kill me but you didn’t succeed. So when the riot broke out in prison that day, you took the opportunity to sell me to Gordjo and you told Gauthier that I was dead. And so, you got away with it. Tell me Hector, what did you do with the 10 million dollars that Gordjo gave you to buy me?

He does not say anything.

Krist: that’s it for you, Mr. Hector. There was a time when you ran a prison, now you will be a prisoner in your prison and someone else will run you. It’s over for you, you are all alone now because your daughter will no longer accept you after what you did.

Krist comes out and Hector starts crying. Boris and Léon join Krist and they go up to Boris’s office. The latter turns on a tape recorder.

Boris: who is Gordjo?

Krist: He’s a Mexican drug dealer. You know Francis, don’t you?

Léon: yes, it was me who arrested him, he was a drug trafficker.

Krist: Gordjo was his supplier. In this prison there are clandestine fights that take place every year and the winner becomes like the president of the prisoners and I was the winner. Francis was released and I think he called Gordjo who in addition to being a drug trafficker, he also does clandestine boxing. He told him about me and he came. That evening, my innocence was proven and I was going to be released. But the ex-prison champion couldn’t stand his defeat so he caused a riot. I managed to save as many guards as possible and prevent all the prisoners from escaping. When I stopped the riot, Mr. Gordjo had arrived and he gave 10 million dollars to the director and he left with me. So the director shows a charred body to say that it was mine. In Mexico, I fought several fights for Gordjo then I learned that he was the biggest drug trafficker in Mexico and that he was Gauthier’s supplier. So I gained his trust and delivered him to the drug cartel unit and here I am back home.

Boris: incredible!

Krist: I don’t want anyone to know I’m alive until I stop Gauthier.

Léon: one question, do you know Gauthier’s true identity?

Krist: yes, I know her and I’m trying to prove it before updating you on her arrest.

Boris: give it now and we can help you more quickly.

Krist: no, please trust me, I know what I’m doing.

Boris: very good, I trust you.

Leon: a question. How do you know that the prison director was arrested?

Krist takes out a newspaper and hands it to them.

Boris: how could it have appeared already?

Krist: You have someone here feeding information to a reporter. That means my cover might be blown.

Boris gathers everyone in the operations room.

Boris: listen to me everyone, there is someone here who is providing information to a journalist and this act must be considered an act of treason therefore severely punished by law. The prison director worked for Gauthier, now that Gauthier knows he is arrested, he will take precautions. Which means that the person who leaked this information also works for Gauthier in some way so they will be subject to the same sanctions as him. However, if she comes forward now, her charges could be reduced.

There was a moment of silence and Marlene denounced herself.

Boris: Marlène, in my office.

Marlene leaves the crowd.

Boris: to the rest of you, Krist is our only asset to succeed in stopping Gauthier so no one should know that he is alive and that he is in town. Understood ?

Everyone answers yes and the commander ends the meeting. He joins Marlene.

Boris: Marlene, why did you do that?

Marlene: I’m sorry sir, love blinded me.

Boris: will you promise not to do it again?

Marlene: I promise you, Commander.

Boris: very good, return to your post.

Marlene: thank you commander.

She leaves.

Krist: well, I’ll leave you too.

Boris: we stay in touch.

Krist: Yes.

He leaves and goes home to wait for Yves. Léon also returns home.

Krist’s home.

At 12 p.m., Stella comes home. He replaces Krist sitting on the couch watching television.

Stella: hello Krist, Isabelle called me this morning. The divorce will be finalized tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Krist: That’s good news.

Stella: tell me you don’t blame him?

Krist: It doesn’t concern you.

She becomes sad.

Stella: I thought I was like your daughter and that a girl always wants to see her parents together.

She leaves the house and goes to sit outside. Krist comes and sits next to her.

Krist: I’m sorry Stella. You know very well what I mean and you also know that it has nothing to do with what you think or what you just said.

Stella: I know, I couldn’t stand it if you rejected her Krist. Even knowing you were dead, she never stopped loving you you know. Imagine how she might feel if she knows you’re alive but you don’t want her.

Krist: I understand and if it’s any consolation, know that all I want is for my wife to divorce and join me.

Stella (happy): really!

Krist: yes, I do everything for that.

Stella: oh, forgive me Krist.

She falls into his arms.

Krist: It’s okay. You could not have known.

Stella: thank you, I’m glad to hear it. I’m going to prepare something to eat until my friend arrives.

Krist: Okay.

So she will happily go to the kitchen to prepare. A few minutes later, Yves arrives and she goes to open it for him. They exchange k****s on the cheek and they enter. Once inside, Yves was very surprised to see Krist.

Yves: but… it’s… isn’t it you, Krist?

Krist: yes, it’s me.

Yves: how come you are alive?

Krist: It’s a long story.

Stella: Krist, this is my friend Yves, he’s a computer expert.

Krist: nice to meet you Yves, sit down and let’s talk.

He sits down and Stella brings him a drink then she leaves them.

Krist: Can I trust you to keep my secret?

Yves: of course, it’s your life so whether you decide to be alive or dead is your problem.

Boris gathers everyone in the operations room.

Krist: Thank you. Stella told me that you are an ICT expert?

Yves: she exaggerates, but I still know a little about it.

Krist: I need you to install surveillance cameras for me, would you do that?

Yves: this is my area of ​​expertise.

Krist: great then! Do you know where we can replace cameras, small ones that we can’t detect?

Yves: I have three or four at home.

Krist: awesome!

Stella comes to tell them that the meal is ready. After eating, Yves takes Krist and they go to his house. He takes the cameras and whatever he needs. Krist takes him in turn on his motorcycle and they go to Gauthier’s secret home.

Gauthier’s secret home.

Krist and Yves arrive at the home and Krist uses his instruments to open the door.

Yves: whose home are we?

Krist: It’s better that you don’t know. Let’s do what we have to do and get out of here.

They enter.

Krist: I want you to install a camera here, to have an image of the person entering and one there, to have an image when they exit.

Yves: okay, I’ll take care of it.

Yves installs a camera above the entrance to the living room towards the interior. He installs another above the door that leads to the bedrooms. After the living room, they go to the secret room behind the library. Yves was very surprised when he saw Gauthier’s masks.

Yves: oh shit, is this Gauthier’s home?

Krist: Yes.

Yves: how did you discover it?

Krist: It doesn’t matter.

Yves: you have to give the address to the anti-drug squad.

Krist: It’s not time yet. Do what you have to do and let me do what I have to do.

Yves: ok.

He installs a camera opposite, near the mirror in which Gauthier sees himself. After that, he connects the cameras to his computer and they visualize. It’s really perfect.

Krist: wow, this is really perfect; but how will we get the images if you disconnect the computer?

Yves: cameras have memories on which the images will be recorded. You don’t have to worry.

Krist: Thank you very much. I just have to provoke Gauthier to come here. We’re going.

They return to Krist’s house and he pays Yves. He takes his motorbike and returns home.

Stella: So, did everything go well?

Krist: Yes, everything went well.

Krist rests for a while and decides to go scare his father-in-law a little when it was already evening.

Bruno’s company.

Krist arrives at the company and waits for Bruno in the parking lot. He wears all white clothes. Bruno finishes his work and arrives at his car. He goes up and turns to the left to exit. He suddenly sees Krist on the right. He stops and steps back to take a good look but Krist is no longer there. He runs, ducking to go ahead. Bruno looks in vain and decides to leave. As soon as he moves a few meters looking behind him, he sees Krist in front of him when he turns his gaze forward. He’s starting to get scared. He brakes and looks behind to reverse. Krist takes the opportunity to disappear. He runs quickly to get behind. Bruno no longer sees anyone ahead so he drives at full speed and he sees Krist in his rearview mirror. His heart is beating so hard, he’s never been scared like this in his entire life. He drives at full speed to get home. Krist couldn’t help but laugh freely. He gets on his motorbike to leave.
