Chapter 2
WALL OF STEEL
After some time he slowly stand back as he sniffled and wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and he immediately look embarrassed, I quickly walk towards him and hug him again, he totally accept it and slowly stop crying. I sat on the floor still hugging him so he sat by my side, I put my back against the bed as I rub his, he looks so vulnerable and fragile that I thought that anybody will fight to make him feel safe and comfortable.
I putted my hand down his chin and lift his face to me, I told him almost in a whisper:
-Nobody will hurt you anymore, ok?, I won't rest until you're safe and I put you in your parents' arms. I can't imagine what you have been suffering down there, but it's over now, ok?- he nodded and start crying again, between sobs he said:
-thank you, all the time they got me there I was praying that somebody help me, and when I was running and fell I was sure that they were going to get me again and treated even worst than before, I start praying harder and harder at the very moment that I receive you car's lights in the face,,, you're truly a God's Angel,,,,,- I chuckled a little, and I said to him looking directly into that blazing blue eyes
-Far from it bud,,, believe me. But one thing is for sure when my boss told me I have to come here I hated the idea, but now I thank God that I was there to help you.-
-Talking of it- he said a little more calmed- I don't know even your name, where are you from, I mean all...- I smile at him and said
- Don't worry there are plenty of time to that, but first I'm sure you want a hot bath don't you?- his eyebrows lift immediately and a shy smile cross his tear filled face - yeah, I can see you want, but first why don't you check the Room Service Menu and I order you a very nice dinner that will arrive in the time you take your bath, do you like the idea?-
-Of course!- he said really enthusiastic and add -thank you, I won't have enough life to thank...-
-Hey, it's ok, and now come on, let's check that Menu...- I interrupted him as I grabbed his wrist to help him stand on his feet, but when I take his arm, he let out a yell of pain
-OUCH!- I immediately sit again and uncover his wrist; when I saw it I almost begin to cry, there was dirt, dry blood and still open bleeding wounds; I turn to his left wrist and there was the same scenario, I didn't say anything, I just stroke a little bit of his hair that was covering his left eye, and ask him:
-You also have one foot injured, right?- he nodded and added
-It's my ankle, when I fell-. I kneel in front of him and told him - Put your arms `round my neck and I'll take you to the bathroom- he did as I asked, and I carried him and sat on the Toilette as I open the water taps and the water begin to flow and fill the tub.
-Ok, wait here Dan, can I call you Dan right?- I ask him from the door of the bathroom
-Of course- he told me with a smile in his face -but please, always Dan, never Danny, I hate it!-
I smile back to him with an "ok!", I went to the night table got the menu and returned to the bathroom, I read the menu to him and he selected a nice cut of meat with fries, and a coke, I suggested him a Potato Soup and he accepted. Before I got out of the bathroom I asked him if he'll need help with his clothes, he start to mumble things like
-Um,,, no, I can,,,- with that I returned to him and just unbuttoned the shredded shirt and the dirty jeans and zipped open them, I took out his shoes and socks and got out to gave him some privacy.
Just some minutes later I heard a loud "Ahhhh" and I supposed that his skin just touched the hot water; suddenly I realized of something: He had no clothes to wear at the moment he get out of his bath, so I went to the bathroom's door and ask him
-Dan, do you need anything bud?, I'm gonna go to the Lobby to get something- from the other side of the door he answered
-No thanks, you won't be late, right?-,
-No pal, I'll be back right away-.
I went out of my room and before I reached the elevator I saw three of my bodyguards, by the look in their eyes, they didn't forgive me yet for my little runaway. I pushed the elevator button and suddenly an idea hit my mind, I turned and faced the boss of them
-Hey Marco, I need something - I said this with an authority tone that he received clearly and told me
-Yes boss?-,
-Can I trust you COMPLETELY?- I said to him looking directly in his eyes,
-...Yes... what do you need- he answered a little bit nervous.
-I need you to get me a fake passport, no, not for me, a passport for a 15 y/o boy, ok?- He looked more and more anxious, we was about to start talking and I interrupted him, - European passport, for the picture get someone of blue eyes, thin lips, white skin and dark hair, got it?-
-.....Yes sir,,,,, but it'll take sometime...-
-It's for tomorrow morning- I interrupted him again -I know it'll be difficult but be sure that I will be VERY happy if you do this for me, money is not a problem, got me?-
-......yes sir, I'll have it when I pick you up to take your flight- I pushed the elevator button again, when it arrived I climbed in and before the doors shut down I tell him
-Marco, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that discretion is a must in this matter, right?- I just hear a "No sir" when the doors closed.
I went down to the Hotel Lobby and due to the hour everything was closed, so I had to plead the Front Desk attendant to open the Hotel Shop arguing that I hadn't enough time to buy some souvenirs to my family and I was very happy at the Hotel so I didn't want to leave without something to remember my days here. After a very long conversation and a great use of my persuasive tactics, I got the shop open for me and I bought him some shorts and T-shirts (there's nothing else there!); I also bought some key chains and garbage like that to justify my insistence. I gave the man a very good tip, and that settled everything.
When I got back to my floor I noticed that Marco and one of the Bodyguards weren't there anymore and they were replaced by two more of the regular ones. I nodded at them when I passed by their side, slid the magnetic card in the slot and entered my room. Daniel was already out of the bathroom and sat on the bed wrapped in my bathing rob; as soon as I open the door he stood looking alarmed, when he saw it was me he calmed down but he was starting to apologize for using my rob and I said to him
-Hey!, it looks better on you that on me!, that's unfair!- he smiles honestly and sat again, -I'm sure you aren't carrying your suitcase with you right?- he smiled again -I thought that, so I got you some clothing I have to say it's not Boss or Armani, but it'll cover your body, at least until we can get you something better tomorrow at the airport-. I walked toward him and gave him the clothes, he stand up and went to the bathroom, he got back fully dressed but I saw him limping which reminds me that he was hurt. Fortunately I always carry a small emergency kit since I took a First Aid and RCP course, so I have an idea of how to bandage an injure. I putted some antiseptic spray on his injuries and he was standing the pain very bravely then I putted the bandage `round his wrists and right ankle. When I was about to finish with his foot there was a knock on the door which made Dan jump; I walked to the door and asked -Yes?- and a male voice answered me form the other side
-Room Service sir-; I opened, he got in, putted the trays on the bed, took his tip and walked away.
-This smells REALLY good isn't it Dan?- I asked him as I looked that he didn't lift his eyes from the trays
- Oh yes...- he answered,
-So let's begin!- and he immediately were pushing food down his throat, when I saw how hungry he was I couldn't help smile at this. I begin also with my food and a wine that I have asked; there were not a lot of conversation because Dan's mouth was always totally full. When we finished he looks really better, he was relaxed and laying on the bed with his back against the wall, and his eyes almost shut. I was sipping my wine when I asked him,
-Hey bud, there's only one think I can't understand,,, I mean, I'm sure you know a lot of enchantments and jinxes to get you free!, did they got you without your wand? Or what?- He burst out in laugh, and said
-Yeah!, I forgot my wand in Hogwarts and they won't give it to me until next class period!- Soon we were telling jokes to each other and he asked me my name, where I was from, who I work for, all the basic data. Very soon he began to fall asleep, I helped him to get into the blankets and covered him, I whispered him,
-G'night buddy- and he moaned back something that I supposed was the combination of Thanks and Good night. I went to my baggage and took out my Laptop, I got online and reserved an extra seat for the same flight that I was taking, fortunately the flight weren't full so I got the ticket rather easyly, I checked my mails and turned off the computer. Then I took a pillow and lay down in the couch, no much time later I was totally asleep.
A few hours later I felt a hand shaking my shoulder, I woke up to see Daniel standing in front of me, with my eyes still unfocused I ask
-What's up? Are you ok?-, I sat in the couch and faced him, he looked very embarrassed and I knew at the time what was happening
-You can't sleep right?- he look down and shook his head, -There's nothing to be embarrassed of bud, it's normal after all that you have passed- I said passing an arm on his shoulders, -come on, I don't think we'll have any problem there's enough space for us both-. With that I stand up from the coach and walked to the bed with my arm in his shoulders; I helped him climb and then I turned around and climb the opposite side of the bed. There was an amazing sensation when I felt his body warmth so near of mine; soon his back were pressed against my chest and I immediately felt his need of protection so I embrace him from behind and I noticed that his breath become regular almost instantly and I knew he was asleep.
Next morning I woke up and moved very slowly out of the bed to avoid waking up Dan that was deeply sleep, when I rounded the bed his face looks so angelic that I couldn't help kissing him on the cheek, he didn't woke up, just moaned a little and changed side. I just stared at him a few moments and walked to the bathroom to take a shower; when I was shaving I saw through bathroom mirror that Daniel was awake. He sat in the bed and searched the room for me, then he saw me in the bathroom and say
-G'moorning!- I turned to him and say
-G'moorning to you!, you had a very good sleep right?-, he answered me with a very relaxed sight in his face:
-This was the first time in so many days-.
-It's better you start packing bud, or we gonna miss our flight- he smiled and stand out of the bed,
-Are you hungry Dan?-
-YES!- he said very enthusiastic
-I supposed that and what about some toast with jam, tea and orange juice?-,
-That'll be perfect!- he said from behind me, he entered the bathroom and opened the shower; I finished shaving and got out while he was taking his T-shirt off, and I couldn't help check out his naked upper body: despite the bad moments of the past days he still looked great, he was more built up than seen on the movies, there were defined pecs and a six pack, I can say also that he was working on his back and arms. Just before he noticed I was staring at his chest I walked out of the bathroom.
Ten minutes before 10 o'clock, and while Daniel was still in the bathroom, there was a knock on the door, I was pretty sure it was Marco, I asked:
-Yes? - and from the corridor he answered me
-It's Marco sir, I have everything you need with me, we must leave in 10 minutes to avoid losing your flight...- He stopped talking as I open the door,
-Come in- I said to him as I closed the door behind him,
-Listen to me carefully, I'm not gonna say this twice, I'm changing your tasks, from now you'll be protecting me AND a friend of mine, his security priority it's as high as mine own, ok?. And if there's a danger situation he have top priority got it?- With a strange look in his face, he answered:
-Yes sir-
-Ok, take my baggage to the car, I'll be there very soon-
-Sure thing- And he took the suitcases and shut the door behind him. In the moment that Marco was out of the room, Daniel went out of the bathroom.
-What do you mean saying that I have security priority over you in a danger situation?, I can't accept that-
-Well, fortunately, I'm the only one that can command the boys out there, and that were my orders. Listen pal, you are in more danger that I am; so it's a smart choice to do this. But don't worry we'll be flying to Mexico City in a few hours.-
I gave to him a cap and the sunglasses that I bought for him the night before, he putted them on while I was checking that I wasn't forgetting anything in the room and asked him:
-Are you ready bud?- He took a really deep breath and nodded,
-Ok, let's go then- I told to him as I opened the door. There were three of the bodyguards waiting there; when we got out of the room one of them took the front of the group while the other two were behind us. We descended to the parking level where two cars were waiting for us, we climbed in the first one, the front bodyguard closed the door and boarded the rear car.
Fifteen minutes later we were at the airport, we got into the VIP lane of the airline that was empty, I gave to the lady our electronic ticket codes, my Mexican passport and Daniel's fake one. She checked them really fast, and gave us our boarding passes smiling; I know that it won't be a mayor problem in the check-in for the flight, the real problem was to get through immigration services at Mexico Airport. I thanked the girl and approached Marco, and I asked him in a very low voice:
-So, how much were your expenses last night?-
-Three grand, sir- I gave him five thousand dollars and say to him:
-Nothing of this never happened, right?-
-Happened what sir?- he answered me smiling.
We spent the time before boarding buying Daniel some clothing, when he got what he want he got to the bathroom and changed clothes. With a grater comfortable look in his face we approach to the entrance to the waiting rooms, the bodyguards can't go into there, so I thanked them and said good bay. As soon as we passed the security filters the local sound announced that our flight had started boarding so we went directly to the plane. When the flight attendant were receiving our boarding passes when I heard a little girl shouting to his mom:
-Look mom! It's HARRY!!!, HARRY POTTER!!!- Daniel looked back terrified, fortunately our tickets were already checked so I pushed him into the tunnel and boarded the plane.
The flight Bogota-Mexico City isn't a short one, so the first hour we were talking of senseless, then as I was watching a movie I felt Daniel slept head on my shoulder, I smile at this and rest my head over his. When we reached the limits of Mexico City I shook Daniel's leg to awake him and I showed the size of Mexico capital from the window, he looked amazed and said to me:
-Isn't this the biggest city in the world?- he asked still looking through the window
-Well, there is a tight competition bud, nobody knows for sure which it's the biggest- I accepted
-Maybe, but I can tell you this it's a colossal set of glass, concrete and steel!- he said
-Sure it is, now try to cross it side to side when you're in a hurry- I said smiling sadly
As soon as the landing gear touched the runway I dialed from my cell phone to my driver to inform him that I had arrived and I'll be out at any time, so he must be ready. When the plane was at complete stand in the platform we stood and walked out the plane; we were heading to the baggage pick up facilities when I noticed that Daniel was looking for something, so I tell him:
-There won't be bodyguards here bud, but don't worry my driver is waiting for us just outside the passenger-only area to get us to my place, ok?- He nodded.
We got my suitcases and went to immigration area, now we are about to face the most dangerous part of the travel; if the immigration agent noticed that Daniel's passport was a fake, not only I would be sent to prison, also he will. We were making line waiting for a free immigration desk, when I said to him:
-All right, just be relaxed, if he asks you something I'll tell him that you don't speak Spanish and I'll answer for you, ok?- He looked very, very nervous and just let out a voiceless "yes"
It was our turn, we stepped in the desk 4 and the agent asked automatically for passports, I gave them both, he checked mine very quickly and stamped it, then he moved to Daniel's and looked alternatively at the picture and his face,
-Puede quitarse los lentes senor? (could you remove your sunglasses sir?)- I told Daniel to do so, he did it but keep his head down, I hit him slightly on his ribs and he rose automatically his head. The agent was looking at his face rather suspicious; I was getting REALLY nervous, then he passed the passport in the scanner, and passed again.
-Cuales fueron los asuntos por los que acudio a Colombia senor? (What were your business in Colombia sir?)-
-Viaje de placer (on vacations)- I answered the agent.
-Disculpe senor pero la pregunta es para el joven (I'm sorry sir, I'm asking the young men)-
-El no habla espanol, por eso es que le estoy respondiendo yo (He don't speak Spanish, that's why I'm answering)- He looked at me a time that felt like hours to me, then he started typing in the computer. >From the left side of the hall I heard some steps when I turned to see a group of Federal Policemen were walking towards us. Daniel looked like he was to faint at any minute. I turned to the agent pretending that nothing was happening, the steps heard closer and closer and suddenly from behind me I heard in a very loud voice:
-Senores, necesitan acompanarnos, estan bajo arresto... (Gentlemen, you must come with us, you're under arrest...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- That can't be good at all,,, Eric and Daniel will be sent to prison? The press will love to have such a story, but I guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out the answers to this and other questions. As always I'll love to hear from you at danielsmagic@gmail.com Thanx for you comments so far Mike, Gabe, Jack and Devin! See you next week!
