Episode 10

Without saying another word, Leyne stared out the window all the way to the west harbor. Tez parked the car and opened the door for Leyne to get out.

The place was calm. On the two central piers, some fishermen were fishing, and others were selling fish at their stalls. Several seagulls filled the sky, and the smell of sea and fish mixed in the environment.

Tez walked to the end of the second pier, he looked around, checking the names of the boats. Leyne followed him.

Leyne: {There are some people here, if I run away maybe I can get help. I have to be quick.}

Leyne began to walk slowly, intending to let Tez follow ahead.

Tez: Will you come with me?

Leyne looked at the man with irritation.

Leyne: You're the one who's running. I don't feel like falling in here and ending up as fish food.

Tez: Can you stop with the clowning around?

Tez grabbed Leyne's hand and pulled him along.

Leyne: {What an insufferable guy! It's like he anticipates my every move.}

Tez: This is it.

A large boat, resembling a freighter, was standing still. Its old appearance was frightening. There were no people around except Tez and Leyne.

Leyne: Now what?

Tez: We wait. And try to keep your mouth shut.

Leyne: Easy for someone who isn't afraid to say.

For a few minutes, Tez remained in the same place, and Leyne watched every corner. Finally, three men appeared.

"Mr. Tez Sallene, right?"

Tez: Yes.

"My name is Guaco, let's talk, please, come in"

The three men entered the old boat named Tenencia, followed by Tez and Leyne.

Guaco: You weren't crazy enough to come here unarmed, were you?

Tez: I didn't arrange anything with you. Where's Richard?

Guaco: He wants to make sure he's not being cheated, if you know what I mean. First we're going to check the merchandise, and then I'll take you to him. He's in a cabin, but at the top of that hill.

The men who were with Guaco approached Leyne.

Leyne: Get out! Don't touch me! TEZ!

Leyne punched one of the men in the face, and when they went to retaliate, Tez and Guaco looked at them.

Guaco: No! If the boss wants to finish him off, there's nothing we can do.

Guaco looked at Tez.

Guaco: Sir, tie his arms up, please. We need to send a picture to the boss, otherwise everything is canceled right here.

Tez: Okay.

When Leyne saw Tez approaching with a rope, handed to him by the bandit, he was even more disgusted.

Leyne: Seriously? You're going to give me to the guys who want to finish me off, and tied up too? You're an imbecile! I thought you were different, maybe a straight person... What kind of man your size likes to garden?

Tez: Shut up! It's best if you don't say anything.

One of the men took Leyne's picture and handed the phone to the leader Guaco.

Guaco: Okay, the boss just confirmed, this is the advertising guy. Let's go. Take him!

The men were taking Leyne away, while Tez walked freely beside them.

Tez: {There really is a cabin on the hill. I believe they kept their word so far. Either way, they wouldn't fight here}

As they walked along, Leyne saw a woman leaving a Jet Ski parked with the key in the ignition, and walking to the fish stall.

Leyne: {If it's not now, I won't have another chance!}

Leyne turned his two bound hands to the face of the man next to him, shoved him into the second man who was accompanying him, and ran.

Guaco: Get him!

Tez moved and had to stop, because Guaco pointed the gun at him.

Leyne ran as fast as he could, jumped on the Jet Ski, and with difficulty, his hands being tied, managed to start it and escape the bandits.

Guaco: I don't believe it! You incompetents, he was tied up.

Tez: Let me go now and I'll bring him back.

Guaco: No. My men will go after him.

Tez: They won't find him faster than me. Come on! Call Richard, ask for his authorization. If I don't go now, he'll be harder to find!

Reluctantly, Guaco did as Tez said and his boss gave the order to release Tez.

Guaco: Go! Bring him back as soon as you can. And shoot him in the leg, that way we avoid further escape attempts.

Tez: It was your men who let him escape. I was able to bring him here peacefully.

After being released, Tez ran to his car. He started the engine and picked up his cell phone almost at the same time.

Tez: Rodrigo, I need you to go to the east harbor, as fast as possible.

[Rodrigo: What happened?]

Tez: ... Leyne escaped.

[Rodrigo: I imagine how desperate he must be. Are you sure you're going to see this through?

Tez: I am. I had everything under control. If that idiot kid hadn't run away, I would have solved this already.

[Rodrigo: All right, stay focused then. I'm on my way to the east harbor right now.]

III

The Jet Ski Leyne was on approached the beach, Leyne desperately tried to use the brake to stop, but he couldn't squeeze it properly. The speed only reduced by half and Leyne crashed into the sand, falling off the Jet Ski.

He felt pain in two places on his leg.

Leyne: Ouch! Why is this? My knee is really hurt!

As he tried to get up, he again had difficulty.

Leyne: Okay... Deep breaths... I could be dead right now.

Limping, he went towards the beach exit.

Leyne: {Why is it that when we need help, no one shows up?}

Lying on the ground at the corner of the street, a broken glass bottle caught Leyne's attention.

Leyne: {With this I can cut this rope to free my hands}

He bent down, feeling even more pain in his heel, but managed to pick up the broken piece of bottle. It took him almost half an hour to cut through the rope that bound his wrists.

Leyne: {I need to get out of here soon. I've wasted a lot of time, and I'm going to lose even more limping like this.}

Leyne walked until he reached a road, where he could see a car approaching.

Leyne: Finally, someone in this godforsaken place. HEY! Help! I need help...

When the car got closer, Leyne's eyes widened, his heart raced, and he tried to run.
