240 Words
Javier spread the folder in front of Carlos. Carlos couldn't concentrate. They were on a mission to kill his brother-in-law, more precisely his future brother-in-law.
Several people gathered around Javier, about ten of them. They were all dressed in black with bulletproof vests.
"This is an important mission you cannot fail," Javier said, "now listen to the instructions from Jefe," the man pleaded.
Everyone's eyes turned to Carlos but the man's gaze was blank.
Javier nudged the man's arm.
"What?" Carlos asked with a clueless look.
"It's time for you to talk, Jefe," Javier demanded.
"Jefe? Come on I'm tired of being called---"
Javierdrew
himself closer and whispered in front of Carlos, "In front of them I have to call you Jefe, do you want your dignity to go down," Javier said in a low voice.
Carlos ignored this strange feeling, the man whispered back to Javier. "What do you mean I should talk?" He asked in a tone that sounded stupid
"Seriously?" Javier gave Carlos an incredulous look.
"I really don't know what you mean," Carlos argued.
Everyone looked at Carlos with astonished looks. Hector was the strategy leader in every El Diablo operation.
And Carlos really didn't know what to do. The man looked panicked. Under these circumstances he must not make others suspicious.
"Ehem" Carlos cleared his throat.
"I... I trust you guys," Carlos said. Not knowing what he said was all that came to Carlos' mind.
