Chapter 6: The Death Simulation
****Ximena Smith
I open my eyes little by little, I look at the place where I am but I... I don't notice, damn I have a terrible headache but where am I? I wondered inside, ji I remember well I was with...
"it was time for you to wake up"
Just said a man dressed in black in front of me, I don't understand anything, I'm quite confused..
-ME: what the hell am I doing here? And where is the man I was with? That..
-BLACK: I thought you were never going to regain consciousness again, but men didn't go to any lengths with you
Black? So he's the one.. I now understand everything..
-ME: why am I tied up? What happened ?
-BLACK: I kidnapped you!
-ME: sorry? (I say panicked)
FLASHBACKS
Black? Does she know it's me? But... But how? Damn I now understand everything... I have to act quickly, out of the question that she stays there,
-XIMENA: you're surprised to know that I discovered you, aren't you? (she says sardonically)
I said nothing and made a discreet gesture to my men, and in less than a few minutes they gave him a pretty hard blow on the head and then led him to our car and me behind them to...
-KIMORA: you were planning to leave without saying goodbye to me too? (she said screaming at the entrance)
I look towards my car and see that my men are already loaded with Ximena so to appear serene I approach this damn commissioner..
-ME: you like me, don't you? (I say arrogantly)
-KIMORA: and what makes you believe that?
-ME: we are adults, so act like one and admit it
-KIMORA: you are cheeky and..
Without her finishing her sentence, I place my finger on her mouth to silence her, she stares at me intensely..
-ME: you don't need to deny it, I read it in your eyes.. The day you decide to tell me that, you'll see that we're going to get along very well (I said, giving him a wet kiss on the corner of the lips)
Without further ado I head for the car very calmly, I have wasted enough time and we can discover me, before entering I throw a last seductive look at Kimora and to see her she looks perplexed .. Bah so much the better I rush into the car and my men start. I have to put this commissioner in my pocket and I know she's going to fall...
END OF FLASHBACKS
-BLACK: now you understand how you got there
-ME: yes but I want to know one thing, why tie me up and treat me like your enemy? Did you see what state your men left me in?
-BLACK: I can't leave you alive, you know my true identity, something no one knows except my daughter
-ME: but your daughter is dead so I will keep your secret as well as her
-BLACK: how did you know it was me?
-ME: well, I've always been a physiognomist..
-BLACK: develop!
-ME: during all this time I spent here with you, I watched you a lot, even if you haven't made love to me yet, I have perfect control of your body and your gestures, when we collided Earlier at the reception, I had the impression of being in front of the man who has obsessed me since and I was going to ask you this question if my idiot of Marie did not interrupt us.
-BLACK: I see! But I can't let you live
-Me no ! You're not going to kill me, I'm the only woman you have left and the only one who really loves you and the last thing I can do is report you and deep down you know it. I'm ready to stay living here with you, that you shut me up I don't care but don't deprive me of my life
- ME: your husband must already be looking for you and to avoid any link with me the best thing is to kill you
-ME: he is aware that I have a relationship with the famous mafia that is to say you! So the best thing would be for you to pass me off as dead, you know what I'm talking about...
-BLACK: I understand! But you won't stay here
- ME: how so?
-BLACK: when everyone is already aware of your death I want you to go find Scarlet alias the queen of drugs in Bogota, and you two will lead this cartel.
-ME: you know very well that she and I don't get along!
-BLACK: I don't care! Either that or I'll put a bullet in your head right now
-ME: you have no feelings, it seems that you have no heart, or you are afraid to love
-BLACK: you (addressing these men) detached there!
He said turning on his heels towards the exit. I'm crazy about this man, I feel that I'm falling in love with him and it can cost me dearly......

**** Kimora Duque
<< Madam the people you were waiting for have just arrived, can I let them in? >>
-ME: yes of course, and especially that no one bothers us.
<< okey ma'am I'm going >>
He said closing the door to my office. It's been more than a week since we were informed of the death of Ximena, her husband and I are convinced that it is a crime given the state in which my officers and I had found her and ... I come out of my thoughts when I see the door open on my guests well it was time..
-ME: I was surprised when I received your e-mail I didn't think your team would agree to join mine (I said inviting him to sit down)
- know that if we had not received this rather shocking news, my agency and I were never going to accept this alliance.
-ME: what news are you talking about?
- we discovered that there is a new head who is in charge of directing the cartel of the North which belonged to the Capo. And according to our sources it is the famous queen of drugs..
My heart skips a beat after that sentence. The queen of drugs? Damn it's been years since we dismantled her organization and later we found out that she was dead so now I don't understand anything, she would have fooled us?
-I can see that you are as surprised as we are. That's why I agreed to work with you.
-ME: but let's see, how a D.E.A agency like yours could..
-I'll stop you right away, understand one thing we deal exclusively with drug traffickers and you with delinquents, hence your post as Commissioner here in Colombi. But if we have accepted your offer to find the presumed culprit of the death of Minister Scott Smith it is because your first suspect is the famous Black J.C.S who is also a mafioso.
-ME: I understand your email a little better. Do you really think this is the queen of drugs?
- according to our investigations yes, and it turns out that she is not alone there is someone above her
-ME: I could put my hand to cutting that this is Black, he is one of the biggest wanted drug dealers in the world right now and you know as well as I that he and this woman were in business, whereupon the Capo was the sworn enemy of this mobster.
- suddenly we are witnessing a plan of revenge against our dear Capo
-ME: Exactly! We have to dismantle this organization again
-That's why we're here. My agency and I had already put together a plan for the captured.
-ME: and my police station will play what role in this capture?
-I can't tell you about it now. I will send you an email when the whole process is started.
- ME: OK!
- we will leave you, and above all do not talk about this interview to anyone
-Me of course !
He gets up with these men and I accompany them to the door. All the information he has just given me disturbs me to the highest point, she can't be wanted, especially not and... The violent noise that my door had just made brings me out of my thoughts, I turn around suddenly and see the minister in pretty bad shape and that's understandable
<< Excuse me ma'am he came in like a furry and I couldn't hold him back. I can.. >>
-ME: it's okay (I said cutting her off) you can leave us alone and close the door tightly behind you.
Things said, things done. He approaches me and with a violent gesture he knocks over everything that was on my desk, his eyes are very red and stink of alcohol, you can see it drunk...
-ME: THAT'S ENOUGH SCOTT! NOW YOU CALM DOWN I WON'T LET YOU FUCK MY OFFICE
He ignores me and continues to smash all that was near him obviously throwing insults at me and saying how incompetent I am. At the time I can understand his pain, he really loved Ximena even as the same could not be said of her..
-ME: Scott calm down, I understand your pain and know that I won't rest until we get our hands on his killer. Besides, we have a lead but I can't tell you about it yet. ..
In two strides I see him fall on me and violently squeeze my neck...
-SCOTT: YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY TELL ME WHAT LEAD YOU HAVE FOUND OTHERWISE BELIEVE ME I WILL KILL YOU
-ME: you..you are suffocating me llac..let me go (I say choking)
-SCOTT: YOU WILL TALK DAMN IT!
Having enough, I took it upon myself and slapped him in the stomach with all the strength I had left which knocked him to the ground.
-ME: ARE YOU CRAZY OR WHAT, YOU FUCKING NEARLY KILLED ME (I scream while massaging my blow which always hurt me)
-SCOTT: it's obvious that it's not your wife that we killed and then send the body like merchandise in a fucking garbage bag, you have no idea of my pain Kimora for two weeks already that I I've put you in charge of this case you haven't done anything yet and this motherfucker is going on with his life peacefully so DON'T ASK ME TO CALM DOWN IT'S CLEAR
-ME: very soon we will capture Black
He sits up and stares at me intensely, with one hand I invite him to sit down, which he does.
-ME: I shouldn't tell you that.. but I feel guilty seeing you in this state
-SCOTT: Speak!
-ME: before you showed up in my office, I had just finished an interview with the head of one of the D.E.A agencies based here in Colombia
-SCOTT: The D.E.A? I don't understand where you're coming from
-ME: there you go (I had just told him exactly what the D.E.A agent told me and he was as surprised as I was. )
-SCOTT: You know as well as I do that if the queen of drugs is really alive then the two of us are in great danger given all that has happened in the past..
-ME: I'm well aware of that, that's why we have to investigate this case alone and above all not tell anyone about it, if she came back it's not for nothing and you know it so we have to be extra safe ...
(...)
I just arrived home, I sneaked into my room because I didn't want my daughter to bother me, I haven't yet been able to assimilate the possibility that Scarlet might be alive and just do it. thinking about it sends shivers all over my body. I place some documents that I brought back from the office on my bedside table and hurry to take off my clothes, I need a good cold shower to put my mind back together. As soon as I entered the bathroom, I let the water run into the tub. After a while I let myself slide inside and breathe a small breath of relief, I really needed more I...
<< you can see that you're tense... A little massage will do you a lot of good >>
I will notice this voice among a thousand, how he managed to break into my house and enter my room, I said, suddenly getting up from the bathtub and here I am completely naked in front of him, and the idiot doesn't hesitate to watch me with a victorious smile on the corner of his lips. Damn it sucks...
