-Where am I? -Ximena woke up, her head ached, she was lying on an old mattress in a large room with old walls whose paint was peeling due to the humidity. She got up and looked around her, the windows had been covered with steel sheets, the light was coming in through the plastic roof tiles. The height of the walls of the cellar made him not even consider climbing them. He tried to open the door, and it didn't even have a knob to pull it from. -Let me out! -I shouted at the cameras, "You don't know who you've messed with, my husband will kill you, he's a very dangerous man. I swear they will regret kidnapping me, I give them a chance to release me, I will even give them a good sum in cash. Only her echo answered her and the movement of the cameras that were watching her. A smoke came from the floor, she suddenly felt very sleepy, when she woke up again she found plates of food and more blankets, she tried to eat for her baby, but the crying didn't let her. -Angelo, my love, please save us," she sobbed.

Her protector returned to the house, tired from the long journey, he arrived disguised as a peasant, it was his turn to flee from his enemies, the surviving bodyguards also arrived in other outfits. José Luis received him with a hug, gave him food, when he saw him a little recovered, took his hand and revealed to him:

-I don't want you to worry, but Ximena is nowhere to be seen.

-What? You should have told me that as soon as I set foot in this house. We have to look for her, what have you done?

-Sir, we've called her, we went to the hospital, they told us she was there, the security cameras in the car parks are damaged, one at a traffic light managed to capture a tow truck taking the car, I've tried to replace out about that tow truck company and apparently it doesn't exist. I was getting ready to go to the place that the GPS on my phone indicated to me, it was in the industrial zone, I was even squaring people up.

-Let's go to that place, let's take all the men, including the ones we just recruited.

-Yes sir, right away.

With their parade of armoured vans they arrived at an empty warehouse where there was only the crane and Ximena's car with her personal belongings inside, Angelo touched it and it seemed colder than usual. He sat in the driver's seat, he could smell her scent that was still impregnated in the car, he tried to hold back the tears, however, the desperation became water and his eyes overflowed. He took refuge in the steering wheel, covering himself with his forearms, so as not to see anything, not to feel any glances, he wanted it to be a nightmare to wake up in this painful moment.

-Boss, they are calling this mobile phone that was in the tow truck, what do I do, do I answer it? -asks one of the bodyguards.

Yes, have you checked that there are no explosives in the place, the call could be the switch. Answer cautiously, it could be a clue. I'd better answer it; -Angelo is cutting his mobile phone, -Hello, with whom? -Angelo, I hope you're having a great time, because we are, your wife is a lot of fun.

-Let her out! -I shouted to the cameras, "You don't know who you've killed, my husband will kill you, he's a very pale shadow. I swear they'll be sorry they've been kidnapped, I'll give them a chance to free me, I'll even give them a good sum of money.

Only her hoof was scratching her and the movement of the cameras that were watching her. A smoke came from the floor, da rapanta felt a lot of sweat, when she came out again she found plates of food and more blankets, she tried to eat for her drool, but the crying didn't stop her.

-Angalo, my love, please save us," she sobbed.

Her protactor returned to the house, tired from the long journey, he came disguised as a peasant, he touched her to flee from his friends, the bodyguards who survived also came with other attires. José Luis embraced him with a hug, gave her food, when she saw him a bit scared, he grabbed her hand and pulled her away:

-no quiaro qua ta praocupupas, paro as qua Ximana no aparaca por ningún lado.

-What, so you should have said so, because she is putting up a car all the way home. We have to look for her, what have you done?

-Sir, we called her, we went to the hospital, there they told us that she was there, the security cameras of the parking lots were damaged, one of the traffic lights managed to capture that a crane was taking the car, he tried to replace the crane and when he stopped he couldn't replace it. I was about to go to the place that the GPS on the phone indicated, the industrial zone, and I was even squaring the road.

-I said, "Don't say anything else, let's go to that place, let's take all the men, including those who had just finished the race.

-Yes, sir, yes, sir, let's go.

-I would have to go to the crane, what do I do, do I count? -asks one of the bodyguards.

-I assure you, if anything happens to her, I swear I'll finish you off, you won't even be in photographs.

-Mr. Angelo, she's fine for the moment, we just need you to give us a shipment of weapons, like the one you gave us in the jungle.

-I know what kind of dog I'm talking to, you're the kingpin of the patio bonito, I thought I shot her, the heat must have affected my aim.

-Your bullet got embedded in my arm and I have to have an operation, don't worry about that, it's an occupational hazard, love of work is what they call it. I need that is what I am asking for and that's it, there is only one small detail, without importance, you have three days to give us that shipment. We will be communicating about it. -How do I know she's okay, you have to pass it on to me.

-That's not going to be possible, she's a bit isolated, what I can do is show you in real time the video from one of the security cameras where she's staying. Keep this mobile phone charged, because this is where I will be calling you, you know, Angelito, three days, I'll leave you with the video, roll the film.

The mobile phone showed Ximena walking around in that cellar, where she was talking and stroking her belly, it looked good.

-What do we do, Angelo? -asked José Luis.

-We have to give them the weapons, we have to get a shipment similar to the one we lost, of course we must have other plans under the table.

-Sir, I have a friend who works for them, they call him Chacon, he is a traitor who is capable of selling his own mother, I will get him to give me information.

-Excellent, you can pay him whatever he asks for, I also need the best mercenaries we can get, I'll call my grandfather to send me men and weapons.

-Mr. Angelo, I met a guy when I was in jail, it's a coincidence that he got out of jail yesterday, he's a legend in Patio Bonito, they call him Cancán and he's a sworn enemy of the capo.

-He's a legend in Patio Bonito, they call him Cancan and he's a sworn enemy of the capo, contact him too, we need all the help we can get, make an appointment for them tomorrow morning, by the way I need all the information about this warehouse and the crane. I don't think we can trace the signal from this phone, although it doesn't hurt to try.

The next day several mercenaries, ex-military, gang members and the guests of honour, the traitor Chacon and Cancan arrived, everyone paid homage to the latter, he was even the first to speak:

-Well my friends, I know that we are gathered here to hit that horny fat man who thinks he owns the beautiful patio, that puppy is wrong, he could only catch him because I was in prison, the poor thing crashed ugly, we are going to hit him like a rat for nothing. -Yes, that's the way it's going to be, Mr. Cancan. I offer a hundred thousand dollars for the head of that dog and a million for that of an associate of theirs, his name is Max, he's Italian like me. I make it clear that this is an extra bonus, as they will all be paid as agreed. Please I need Chacon to tell us the location of those miserable dogs, although we are already agreeing to deliver the weapons order, we will use it to distract them and divide their forces. They will also get an extra bonus for each dead. -Sir, it's hard to know who kills someone, it would be a matter of having bullets marked and waiting for the coroner, that's not fair. -A thug who was shaking his head back and forth spoke.

-Calm down, the total will be counted, it will be divided between you and that way you will be rewarded.

-That's no good, I'm good at killing, but not at mathematics, if I were, I'd steal with the computer. -said another little boy who was dressed in overalls.

-We'll explain it to you later with calm, otherwise, is there any doubt?

-Yes, sir.

-What would it be?

-They're going to give us something to eat, it's just that I came early in the morning and I couldn't get anything in my stomach and I've got a gurbia. -said another one, who had bulging green eyes that looked like two cooked eggs.

-The breakfasts are coming, we have to go, all the powers that be, full of energy. The plan is simple, we will be two teams, one under the command of my right hand man Jose Luis, who will be in charge of the exchange of weapons for my wife, it is clear that nothing can happen to her, and the other team will be under my orders, we will be in charge of breaking into their barracks to leave no puppet with a head.

-Sir, it would be good to have a third team, even a fourth, we must not leave anything to chance. -Cancan added.

-Please explain. -Angelo interjected.

-It's possible that this little hood is planning an ambush in the exchange, for that we would need another team to take care of that or to help them to lock them up, also others in the lairs to avoid escapes. -Excellent, Mr. Cancán, I would like you to work for me on a permanent basis.

-I'd like that too, Don Ángelo. -Chacón put in his spoon, speaking with his mouth full.

-Yes, of course it's possible, Chacon. It all depends on how you behave today, for sure you can also be one of my lieutenants. Angelo mentioned it to avoid betrayal, because he would never give a job to a traitorous rat who you never know when he will turn on you, it's a double-edged sword.

-Sir, it would be an honour to work for you, you are a legend, there are those who say that you are an urban myth. -Cancan said it with his grimace as if he was going to smile.

-Yes, of course, the legendary Doctor D," interrupted a red-haired boy and the whole room fell silent looking at Angelo, who approached him staring at him without blinking. Cancán stood up and hit him on the head, scolding him:

-"stupid, Don Angelo, he is not Doctor D, if he were, you would already be dead for revealing his identity. Apologise to him now, and on your knees.

The red-haired man knelt down on his knees saying:

-Please don Angelo, forgive me, I am very stupid, I fell out of bed as a child.

-I ask you all to please forget this embarrassing scene, let's better prepare ourselves mentally for the operation, exchange and rescue that starts now. -Angelo left to check some vehicles to start his plans.
