640 Words
Donches: Why can’t you go?
Atalanta: It’s very far, and moreover we’ll have to stay for a long time. I can’t… I’m sorry!
Donches: This mission is very important — whoever brings him to me will of course be rewarded. If you think carefully and capture him quickly, you won’t need to stay there long. That means whoever I choose will go!
Atalanta: But—
Donches: I don’t want any discussion!
Uff… how do I tell him the real reason I don’t want to go? I can’t leave him!
Donches: Sara, Leoklav, Rowan, Daris and Atalanta! You will go. If you’re leaving immediately, today you have time to plan.
Bruno: You must be very careful — I tell you again, he’s a calm man, he doesn’t speak much but he acts. He’s a person who doesn’t kill with words but with deeds; with a single look he can sentence you to death. He’s merciless, selfish, thinking only of himself!
Sara: Doesn’t he have a family?
Donches: That part is complicated. In some documents it says he does, in others it doesn’t. We still don’t know for sure!
Ugh!
After they left the room I immediately went to my office, grabbed my jacket and bag, and left the courthouse! I quickly took a taxi and went to say goodbye to him.

|Narias POV|
The goods I had hidden from them were already transported to their place according to my plan!
Gabriel: Well done — you really surprise me!
I smiled.
Dante: Now it’ll get even harder. I’ll send a large number after us.
I don’t care anymore. If anyone interferes with my work again I will kill them!
Gabriel: What do you think? Why aren’t you saying anything?
Dante: He speaks with words, not with actions.
They started laughing!

|Atalanta POV|
It was 11:45 PM; we were still investigating his life.
Atalanta: Doesn’t this man have any photos? I haven’t seen his face anywhere, I don’t even know his name?
Sara: His name is Narias Jonz!
Atalanta: Oh God, how will we catch this man? All plans so far have failed!
Daris: Have a little confidence in yourself!
Atalanta: Believe me, I don’t want any confidence. I’ll do this only because I don’t want to lose my job.
I kept flipping through files until I came across something…
Atalanta: “Paura”? He apparently has a casino in the center of Sicily — it’s the biggest casino in the country!
Sara: Very good, well done, now we have something to work with!
Leoklav: What do you say we make a plan to get inside?
Daris: Very good idea. What if we change our identities, because if the system checks us they’ll see our professions and will suspect.
Sara: So the first step is money — that’s great.
Leoklav: Let’s split into pairs, because if we all go together we’ll attract attention.
Rowan: I believe he stays in the VIP area. Daris, Leoklav and I will handle security there, while you, Sara and Atalanta will catch him.
Sara: Perfect!

|The Next Day|
We were at the airport, boarded the courthouse’s private plane and departed. My mind was on her — how does she live without me?
Sara: You don’t seem to be in the mood at all?
Atalanta: Not at all! I hope this ends as quickly as possible!
Sara: Why?
Atalanta: Because I can’t stay away from my family!
Sara: This is your job — sometimes we have to make sacrifices.
Rowan: Did you bring nice clothes? We’re going straight tonight!
Sara: Of course — I hope this finishes tonight!
Leoklav: I don’t think so at all. Are you forgetting that this man has been one of the most hunted criminals for three years? It will not be easy.
Rowan: Well, we’ll catch him — you’ll see!
