Episode 5

I take Edgar to his room myself, take off his clothes, and put him to bed, he is asleep, but talking about several things, from what I can understand, some guy named Joao couldn't have done what he did, I imagine it must be one of his cases.

Back in my room, I ask myself "Why would a man who loves to live free want to get married?" It doesn't make sense to me.

Trying to sleep, I hear something break in the hallway, I get up to see what it is, and as I open my door, a man dressed in black is standing there, it made me tremble inside.

That same man stares at me, but I can't recognize his face because of the darkness, I fear for my life, so I don't make a single move or say a word. I guess that's why he ran to the stairs and left.

Yan's door opens.

Yan: What was that noise?

Leandro: I… I…

I was looking for words to say what I just saw, but I can't, the most I do is point my finger in the direction of the stairs.

Yan: Please stay here, I'll go see what's going on.

As soon as Yan returns, I can find tranquility on his face, as if he didn't know what really happened or knew enough to know who it was.

Leandro: And so?

Yan: It's nothing, you can go back to your room.

Leandro: Like nothing?

Yan: I already said no, you can sleep peacefully.

In the morning, everyone was acting strange, looking at each other as if they were hiding something from me, it terrifies me.

Leandro: Edgar?! Good morning, are you okay?

Edgar: Yes, don't worry… it's not the first time I've drunk.

Leandro: But you were wasted.

Edgar: It was because I overdid it, that's all.

Leandro: Now about last night, right after I took you to your room I-

Edgar: You took me to my room?

Edgar seems to be both surprised and delighted that I cared enough to take him to bed.

Leandro: Look, do we have to investigate who the man who broke into your house is?

Edgar: Our house, and thank you very much for caring about me.

Leandro: You're welcome, but listen to me, someone broke into the house, it was a man and he was all in black, I felt terrified at the time, so I didn't react, now, who is he and how did he get in here? Don't you think we should be worried?

Edgar seems anesthetized since he takes a while to answer me and keeps running his hand over my face, it was good at the same time that it irritated me a little.

Edgar: Don't worry, I'll investigate and I'll find out who this intruder is.

Leandro: It's necessary, I feel unprotected.

Edgar: Now, Leandro, I'm here, and before anything happens to you it will have to happen to me, because I will defend your life with mine if need be.

That's just because he paid dearly for me and not because he's already developed any affection for me.

Leandro: Then find the intruder.

I get up and leave him to work.

I didn't know, but Edgar didn't need to investigate to find this man, because he knew who it was, him and Yan.

Now, who is it?
