Alberto Cruz grew impatient, but after finishing his drink, he stood and tried to look further; near the multiple docking bays. Of course, from the food stand he could see nothing; so, he walked to where he was really supposed to meet them: In the middle of the complex. Even with the opulent monuments and structures around him, the plaza was open enough to see every wayfarer that passed through it. Cruz moved with haste, as he was starting to feel nervous, wondering if he forgot a relevant instruction in this apparent casual meeting. Truth to be told, assuming how vital this mission was, he was wondering why he had to wait in this particular place.
Anxiety became frustration and before his sweat began to flow, a dread touch covered his body entirely. An unsuspected hand touched his left shoulder and before he could even gasp in complete submission, a whisper emerged.
“Buen día, señor Cruz.”
A familiar voice, he turned back and he felt relieved.
“Julia, could you please stop with that? My nerves, please.”
Julia López, indifferent to what Cruz was mentioning, proceeded to remove something from one of her pockets: A little and encrypted comm-pad. She started to press the security locks; the software responded accordingly to what she wanted.
“Here…and here. Cruz, take this and read it; I should be going right now, my crew needs me. Nos vemos!”
“Wait! You didn’t even tell me what is this all about!”
Exasperated by the unprecedented behavior of the generally disciplined and cold Observadora, he questioned himself about the real motives of this mission. After Julia disappeared from his sights, Alberto studied the content received and before he could make an accurate conclusion of the matter, he glanced the two members.
“There you are! Alberto Cruz here!”
Trying to camouflage his nervousness and sweat, he waved to the men. Cruz had never exchanged words with them and the trio only knew each other by name and profile image only. Finally gathered, the briefing started, in the middle of a completely crowded area; but not before Cruz waited for a response from the members.
