Episode 8

Nahuel tries to leave, but Drake stops him.

"We need a plan. You can't face them without knowing how many there are, if they're armed and without having a plan," Drake whispers.

"We have to hurry, they could hurt my family," Nahuel says, worried.

"Do you know why I'm number 1 and they call me the Dragon? I never do anything without a plan and everything goes well." He smiles proudly. "You're going to go out the window, take your cell phone, when I call you, you're going to ring the bell and I'll take care of the rest." He kisses him. "Be careful."

"Don't get hurt, and you be careful too." Nahuel looks into his eyes.

"Are you worried about me?" he says, smiling.

"Who's worried about you?" Nahuel says, blushing.

Drake helps Nahuel climb down the window. When Nahuel was able to reach the ground from the second floor, he went around and got to the front door.

The intruders already had Sofia and William tied up next to Nahia. They took them to a room and two of the intruders stood guard at the door.

One was armed while the other just waited at the door.

The other three were checking the entire mansion and taking all the valuables.

Drake opened the door, and from the voices, he knew that there were four or five men. He walked down the hall. Lightning illuminated the mansion.

Drake spotted two of the intruders standing in front of a door and deduced that Nahuel's family was locked in that room.

Drake threw a decorative vase on the floor and hid in another room.

"What was that?" said one of the two intruders standing in front of the door.

"I don't see, go check. I'll wait for you here," the other one said anxiously.

The intruder with the gun went out to check the hallway. Drake suddenly opened the door and knocked him out. Then he dragged him and tied him up in the room, taking his gun.

Drake slowly approached the other intruder left in front of the door. He pointed the gun at him, grabbed him by the neck and choked him unconscious, dragged him to the room, and tied him up with the other one.

"That's two down, and two or three to go." He walked and observed.

Drake saw two more intruders; they were trying to open a safe. Drake approached them and pointed the gun at them.

"Hey you! Tie up your partner." He threw him a tie. "Be careful what you do," he said, pointing the gun.

After the intruder finished tying up his partner, Drake knocked him out with the butt of the gun. He tied the two of them together and locked them up.

Drake went to the room where Nahuel's family was. At that moment, the last of the intruders came out, and two gunshots rang out through the mansion.

"Bang! ... Bang! ..." (sound of gunshots)

Upon hearing this, Nahuel broke a window and cut his leg trying to get in.

The captain of the jet was startled out of his deep sleep and went out to investigate. When he came out, he ran into the co-pilot, who was also on his way to investigate where the shots were coming from.

Nahuel came in through the window and ran looking for Drake and his family. The first floor was deserted and he ran up to the second floor. He didn't care about the size of the wound and the bleeding; his family and Drake were more urgent.

"Damn it!! it hurts more because I'm wet. Aaacckk!!..." Nahuel winced in pain. "Why the hell didn't I call him?"

When Nahuel reached the second floor, he saw Drake, wounded in the arm, crouching down, pressing and bandaging the wound with a piece of his pajamas.

Further on was one of the intruders, unconscious with a bullet in his abdomen.

Nahuel approached Drake, frightened.

"Why didn't you call me? Look how hurt you are," Nahuel asked him, a little angry and in a tone of reproach.

"I couldn't let you get hurt, that's why I tricked you and finished them off." He smiled and pointed down the hall. "Your family's on the right in the third room."

The captain and the co-pilot reached them and saw the intruder on the floor.

"Sir, are you all right? I see you have a leg injury," the captain spoke.

Drake looked at Nahuel and worried.

"How did you do that? Because of things like this, I took care of the problem without your help." He was angry.

"Sir? Where are your parents?" the co-pilot asked, frightened.

"They are on the right, the third room." Drake pointed to them and looked at Nahuel. "You... sit down and let me see that wound."

The captain and the co-pilot untied Sofia, William, and Nahia. They checked the rooms and found the other four intruders.

Sofia was nervous when she saw Nahuel and Drake injured and looked for a first-aid kit to clean the wounds. Nahia was crying on the couch while William called the authorities; they had to deal with the intruders.

The captain, the co-pilot, and William put the intruders in the same room, closing the door and standing guard so they wouldn't wake up, untie themselves, and flee.

The storm was relentless and they couldn't return to the city until the next day.

The next day, upon returning to the city, Sofia and Nahia took Nahuel and Drake to the hospital to be treated. William was at the station dealing with the intruders.

Sofia and William were very grateful to Drake.

Nahia and Sofia saw him as a hero.

Sofia secretly saw Drake as her son-in-law and began to encourage her son and Drake.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to talk to the doctor." Sofia looked at her daughter. "Nahia, come with me."

"I'll wait for you here, Mom. I'm tired." Nahia refused.

'This brat, I'm doing it so they can talk and cuddle and she's a third wheel.' Sofia wasn't about to leave her. "Nahia, come on now, I'll talk to the doctor and you go buy the medicine."

Nahia got up, stomping on the floor. When Drake and Nahuel were alone, Drake lunged to hug Nahuel.

"Aaahh, I needed to recharge my batteries," he said, burying his head in Nahuel's neck.

"Who's your spare battery? Let me go, someone might come in and see us." Nahuel pushed him away, smiling.

"Shhh..." Drake put a finger to Nahuel's lips. "I know you enjoy it, wait a minute. You don't know how scared I was. You're my weakness." He smiled. "I couldn't stand being without kissing and hugging you any longer."

Nahuel looked away, Drake pulled him closer, pulling him by his shirt, and kissed him. Nahuel tried to pull away, but in the end, he returned the kiss.

After speaking with the doctor, Sofia went to the room where Nahuel and Drake were. She saw them kissing and smiled.

Nahuel pushed Drake, you know what I told you on the island, we already left it, we will not see each other again.

Drake gets sad and lets go.

-We have already done everything and what according to you... we could not do. Why do you keep refusing? I know you feel the same way about me. _ Drake refuses to be left.

-Yes, everything you have said is true. But my family, my friends and the rest of the world, how do you think they will look at us? I do not want to see you again. _ Nahuel avoids Drake's gaze.

Drake hugs him again and buries his face in Nahuel's neck again.

When Drake was going to speak again, Sofia entered the room.

Nahuel pushed Drake away.

"Yeah, your perfume smells good. I'll buy myself the same one." Drake smiled. "Mrs. Sofia, you're already here?"

"Call me Mom, you're like a son-in-law to me." She smiled. "I want us to stay in touch, you have to give me your cell phone number. Thanks to you we're alive, without a scratch."

Hearing "son-in-law" made Nahuel's heart race.
