CHAPTER 46

apartment Catherine Miller

October 28, 2010

6.00

"Cathy, but what you doing? You know what time is it? "

The woman could not hear the voice of Milorad calling her, because the deafening roar of the vacuum cleaner at full power would not let her do it. That morning in late October had fallen out of bed when day was breaking. And taken by an irresistible frenzy had begun to do the housework. Action rather unusual for her, as Natalia, her maid, was in charge of affairs for many years.

"Cathy, that thing off," shouted their ears, stunned by all the confusion. He went down to the stairs barefoot in the living room, wearing only pajama pants, and ripped the wire from the light socket.

"Why did you do?" Lamented Catherine looking wrong. Her dark hair loose on her shoulders and a long shirt night in white silk made her wonderfully sexy in the eyes of him, despite the vacuum cleaner that clutched in his hands made it less exciting that image.

Milorad looked at her puzzled. Took a few steps toward him and tore hell that thing, laying it on the ground.

"Hello, Catherine," he said brushing his lips with a kiss. "And now you tell me what you got? Since when do you do the housework? "He asked sincerely confused.

The woman walked into the kitchen and began rummaging in the pantry looking for something to eat. "I'm hungry," said digging a spoon into a jar of peanut butter.

"That stuff is disgusting. It is not that you do these things. Would you explain to me what's wrong? "

" No, I'm just nervous. "

" Why? Tonight it seemed that we were having fun. "

"Indeed it is. At least I was until I have communicated your brilliant idea, "said crossing his arms, emphasizing an acid tone of voice his displeasure.

"Cathy ..." he whispered Milorad trying to hug her. But the woman, without hiding his impatience, turned away abruptly making him understand that he did not like being touched.

"Perfect. I thought I had closed with this shit! "reacted with anger, rebuke severely. "If you want to talk you know where to find me, everyone else on his way. I indulged the whims of an idiot as Rebecca and I have no intention of repeating the same mistake with you. "

He climbed the stairs and reached the bedroom.

He dressed quickly.

"Wait," he muttered standing in the doorway, "Do not go."

"Cathy, I will not change his mind. So you'd stop and you are free to do so, if you believe. But you can not stop me from getting to the bottom. I will not be satisfied until Yusupov will not end up behind bars. "

then went out leaving her alone to reflect.

While Milorad saliva in the car, rather annoyed, his phone began to ring.

"Ryan, do not put us too! Did I mention that I have everything under control. Catherine, you and you have agreed to let me crazy? It's only six in the morning, Christ! I'll call you as soon as I finished. "

"Everything under control? Ah, well, 'course, I am convinced, "he said sarcastically in a loud voice hung up the phone with one hand while scratching his chin Carter crouched beside him on the bed.

After escaping to Mexico, Ryan did not return with the thought that what he had heard from Garcia. Milorad wanted help to find evidence to prove the complicity of Lersik, but it was d & rsquo ; agree on what his friend had decided to do.

went crazy for the detective and adventure in San Fernando was fun, but was not willing to risk his career, life or worse, to follow the suicidal thoughts of his friend of Serbia. Maybe in your country things worked differently, but in Florida, where he was born and raised, the police could do his job and usually those who decided to act alone ended up in a garbage bag.

Dealing directly Yusupov was a mistake, but neither he nor Catherine had managed to convince Milorad to the contrary.

"All right," he said, rising momentum and putting on his pants, "If it is decided, I will give him a hand. But this is not my only project, "he grinned-eyed. "Come on Carter, we leave for Baltimore. "

"I do not know. Alec should I leave alone all night and I do not like the idea at all. "

"Come on Becky, this little monster knows how to get along better than me!"

“Guarda che ti ho sentito!” disse Alec ad alta voce, coricato sul letto a preparare la lezione di Geografia. La sua cameretta era separata dalla cucina da una tenda di canapa, formata da fili intrecciati di conchiglie. Era stata Rebecca a cucirla con ciò che aveva raccolto sulle spiagge della Florida durante i mesi trascorsi lì.

Mentre Ryan cercava di convincerla ad accettare la sua proposta, diede una rapida occhiata all’appartamento che la donna aveva preso in affitto. Gli era difficile credere che si potesse vivere in uno spazio così ridotto, abituato com’era alla tipica casa americana in legno, su tre piani, dove viveva insieme alla sua famiglia.

La porta d’ingresso si apriva sull’unica vera stanza di tutto l’appartamento. Sul lato destro un fornello con un paio di pensili e il frigorifero. Al centro un tavolo in fòrmica e, nello spazio libero rimasto, un divanetto a due posti per guardare la tv che, a giudicare dalle dimensioni, doveva risalire agli anni Novanta.

Oltre al ripostiglio, trasformato da Becky nella camera di Alec, c’era un’altra stanza dove la ragazza dormiva. Insomma, considerando anche il bagno e il piccolo terrazzo overlooking the main street, the apartment was no larger than two people in the garage of his home in Florida. Yet despite its small size, nothing had ever seemed so comfortable and cozy.

Perhaps because delicate aroma of roast chicken that was cooked in the oven, or photos of the boys of St. Mary glued to the refrigerator door, or costume Alec hung to dry in the bathroom along with all her things in that house did not seem to miss anything.

"Come on Becca, welcome!" Alec urged her sitting at the table, hope the dinner was ready. "For once, that guy is right," said starting to nibble on the pancakes with sesame Ryan's mother had prepared for them.

"Becca Yes, agree ..." Ryan repeated the line and making affects the fingers with a fork, when she saw him grab more pancakes than he entitled to.

"Ouch! But you do not live in Florida? "Alec asked looking at him with a grudge," Then why all weekend to come scrounge dinner at our house? "

Rebecca looked up at the sky.

"You want to stop fighting?" Gently rebuked them, putting the steaming tray on the table.

"Wow!"

"I'm impressed, Harvey ..." Ryan said with your mouth water and have a fork in his hand.

few hours later ...

"Look, he is asleep," said Becky watching Alec curled up on the couch with the remote close at hand throughout the evening that he had defended against attempts by Ryan to evade.

"I'll take." Ryan picked him up and taking care not to wake him laid him in bed, carefully tucking the blankets. Then she reached the terrace.

"When sleep is not so bad!"

"You know I asked you all week? Even if you never admit it, it keeps us ".

"Still, I'm used to. My best friend thinks like him. " He walked to the railing to watch the scene. "Do you smoke?" He asked looking for the package of cigarettes in the pocket of my jacket.

"Doggie, you hide from me something, right?" He said doubtfully, suspicious of his excessive kindness, "However I accept the job. "

"Well, I'll see you at 21.00 tomorrow night."

Apartment Michael Phelps - Inner Harbor

October 31, 2010 - Halloween Night

DLIN-DLON ...

"Trick or treat?"

"Ryan, it really you?! Do not think you are a bit 'grown up for these things? "Michael asked, spreading his arms.

He cocked his head sideways to watch it carefully, trying to figure out what it was masked.

"What's that?"

"What! what's that? Seriously? You mean you do not recognize the good old Elvis? "Said breaking into his house, reclining comfortably on her couch and stretching his legs on the table in front. Michael burst into laughter. He grabbed a can of beer from the fridge and threw it to him in his hands.

Ryan smoothed his hair with his fingers, straightening the hair. They had been inflated and pulled back challenging the laws of gravity, covering them with a sticky coating of extra-strong gel. He removed his dark glasses seventies which covered most of his face, because Michael could appreciate the trick in style Rock'N'Roll , a friend who had helped him to prepare.

He was wearing white flared trousers, paired with a striped shirt unbuttoned and strictly with the collar turned up. A white leather jacket, embroidered with fringes of beads and rhinestones psychedelic hues, completed in a sublime way quell'accozzaglia colors.

"Come prepared, go out tonight," Ryan told him handing a bag.

'E' a joke, right? "muttered glared at him as soon as he opened his hands a red shirt with the words" Kosovo is Serbia "on the front.

"Oh, Phelps ... you are no longer what it once was," huffed crossing his hands behind his head and shaking his head. "Come on, dress like Cavic could be fun. Ok, forget it ... "he corrected as soon as he noticed the expression of pity on his face. "Here, try this" the proposed passing another envelope.

What's this?

"Plan B" he said smiling under his mustache.

harbor area of Baltimore

Pier 16 - 21.00 pm

Rebecca continued to read aloud the name of the boat that Ryan had written on a ticket, along with directions to reach it, convinced it was wrong direction. With his mouth wide open and staring before her, could not believe that anyone would have hired a vessel so luxurious to organize a Halloween party.

The Northern Star was a yacht of 75 meters from the sleek and elegant, with every possible comfort. He climbed on the bridge that accesses to the ship and, after showing the pass to safety note the details, a man beckoned to follow her.

On the deck outside recent addition to the heated pool, a track for the landing of the helicopters that were supposed to serve to transport guests to the most prestigious.

The five levels of the vessel were connected by a staircase made of glass and steel modern design and at least two elevators. Walking behind his leadership, passed through a large hall where, after less than an hour, took place this exclusive party. The crew members, all dressed elegantly, they were preparing the room making sure everything was prepared properly. Everything was great attention to detail. In the background a huge window that opened onto the bow of the vessel allows guests to enjoy the breathtaking view of the bay of Baltimore.

arrive in the kitchens of the service, the man pointed to a dressing room where he could change and fix her things.

"Hello, I'm Alice" cordially introduced himself approaching a girl with slender legs and the expression of alarm.

"Nice, Becky," she said shaking her hand and looking around embarrassed because the woman, as if nothing had happened, he was completely naked.

Alice smiled and, to put it more comfortable, covered with a dressing gown.

"It 's the first time that works for the Glamour Agency?"

Rebecca sat on a chair, rubbing her temples. He had never heard of that agency and began to suspect that Ryan had hidden some details about the work that had caused him.

The night before, he had proposed to serve as a waitress at a private party, organized on a an acquaintance of his boat. He was very vague about the whole thing, but Becky was convinced to accept when she discovered that the pay for one night's work amounted to about half of his monthly salary.

Cut forty-two, right? And I would say more or less than a third of the bra. Indeed, no. A second will be just fine. "

Rebecca looked at her breast, blushing. Compared to that of Alice was undoubtedly small.

"Come, I'll help you prepare," he said taking away the bag of hand.

"We're done with makeup. Not bad, eh? "Said the colleague a few minutes later, pushing the mirror to admire.

was observed without recognizing.

eyelashes are polished with the mascara, bright red lips and a newly designed corner of his mouth he had completely changed his features. Linen, silk stockings and high heels CAPTURE completed the work of transformation.

He could not say a word.

"Next, he raises his arms," said Alice fitting a dress embroidered with black sequins that just licked the buttocks. The border was edged with a fringe of sparkling beads. "And now the final touch," he added combing your hair and gathering them into a thin retina them to put a wig.

"What do you think?"

"I look like a prostitute" mumbled shocked by the image in the mirror.

"They are wonderful twenties," said another. "It 'was Jeff, the billionaire who organized this party, who wanted the waitresses wore a costume of that era.

"I'm leaving!" He said clutching his back trying to detach the garters. "How do I remove this property, damn it!"

"Honey, I do not think is possible."

"Why? This work does not please me at all. "

"Well, I do not know how to tell you, but ... the ship has already sailed."

"What? I strangle Ryan! "

Alice smiled and put his hand on his shoulder to reason with her and took her back in front of the mirror.

"Look baby, you're beautiful."

"Sure, just like a tow on Sunset Boulevard, "he sobbed in a crisis of anxiety.

"Ok, maybe you do not give the prize elegance and refinement Jacqueline Kennedy, but believe me, you have everything you need to make a man crazy. And then no one will recognize you with this short bob hair blacks. Not to mention that we, too, and the other waitresses dressed exactly like you, including wigs. "

He wanted to kick up the backside for the friend he had not explained clearly what the job entailed, but the money made her comfortable.

"All right. I'm ready! "He concluded wearing the mask of feathers lying on the table. "At worst, I'll just try to keep my butt away from the hand of some drunk."

23.00

"So you're having fun, man?" Said Michael Ryan reaching sitting at the poker table.

"I admit that when I've obligated to dress fire fighter I have my doubts, but this party is not bad. The Northern Star is a wonderful ship. One day you will have to explain who you stole this uniform, "he asked lifting the green jacket with the words printed Baltimore Fire Department on his arm.

The hall was full of masked people in every possible way. Vampires, zombies, aliens, monsters and green were the most similar. While the girls were mostly dressed as bunnies or demons from daring necklines.

Beautiful women seemingly willing to meet new people, vintage wine that flowed freely, Lil Wayne as background music, gaming tables to get away with the poker: in short paradise on earth for Michael Phelps. For once his best friend had a brilliant idea.

Rebecca passed from the kitchen to the main hall at least twenty times, carrying trays of canapes with caviar and expensive delicacies, but because of the crowded throughout the ship had not yet managed to find Ryan.

suddenly felt a hand touch my ass so really annoying.

"Hey baby, you like to drink with The King of Rock 'n' Roll?" Said someone blowing behind her ear, trying to be brilliant.

"AAAHHHH! My foot, fuck, "cried the man, when Becky went over there with the tip of the heel, pressing firmly to hurt him.

"So you learn to keep your hands to yourself! And especially not to explain in detail the work that you have given me! "

" Becky? Really you? Tanned in a way that did not recognize you, "admitted Ryan's eyes widened. "Wow, you really are ..."

"I advise you to keep your mouth shut unless you want to start training for the races in the open sea!"

"Truly there would be another small detail that I forgot to talk to "whistled pretending to be a thing of naught. "It 's nonsense, so the ship will dock tomorrow morning at dawn and I do not have problems in managing the situation" added swallowing in one gulp a couple of quiches lorraines that the girl was wearing on the tray.

"What situation, excuse me?"

"There is ... that ... ael" quickly mumbled with his mouth full.

"What did you say? I did not understand. "

"... There's Michael." He repeated more quickly while trying with his eyes the way out next.

"Eh? Doggie, if you continue to not talk while you'll never eat! "

" There's Michael, "he shouted in one breath, running as far away from her, while the scales, Rebecca Phelps saw down on the deck among the guests.

"Run Alec or we'll be late!"

"Becca, slow down!" begged her quickly engulfing the buttered toast that he had prepared before leaving home.

quickly went down the stairs and underground by a whisker managed to get on the train of 4.38. At that time the car was almost deserted, except for some workers who came home after the night shift.

She invited Alec to follow her and sat down next to the exit. The walks from behind a backpack that had filled with everything that could be used during the day: the costume, a pair of Spiderman slippers that Ryan had given him, a terry cloth robe, two vanilla cupcakes and, of course, school books.

"I Explain why we must always take the train so early? "Alec asked with sleepy eyes, resting her head on his shoulder," I want to sleep. "

"You know Bob wants you to be punctual," she reminded him gently, pulling out a paper bag with a glass of warm milk he had bought at Starbucks station.

"Yes, but I'm the only child who arrives first at the center of coaches, athletes and often even the Guardian!" complained about slipping on the shank of the head to sleep a little longer '.

"Come on, wake up! Finish your breakfast, "she said quickly without explanation.

could not tell him that first of all get to the NBAC was the only way to prevent Michael and keep the promise made to Bowman. Alec had the opportunity to become a professional swimmer and she was determined to do his best to help.

had moved to Baltimore a couple of weeks and for the moment things seem to work. They were placed in a small apartment in South Side, a neighborhood without too many demands on the outskirts of the city. The rent was very expensive and this was a determining factor in the selection, because Rebecca, with the modest salary he earned, he could not afford more.

The girl had found a job as a waitress at Harborpalace Hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Baltimore. Ironically, the experience at Geneva had helped.

every day through the city to go with Alec in the pool and passed it back to about six o'clock, after work. The Dunkal Elementary School, where she had joined a few minutes away from the NBAC and Alec was smart enough to go alone and return to the center for the afternoon session of training.

life was radically changed both with respect to Florida, but Rebecca was not willing to give up, it believes that Alec could do it. Christmas was coming soon and then he would officially join the team.

"I recommend a small, remember ..."

"Obey Bob, dry my hair well after a shower, eat vegetables and do not talk to strangers as I go to school. Becca, I think I understand now, two weeks that I repeat it, "said puffing out his cheeks and looking at the sky still dark.

"You're right Ryan, you're a sapientone!" He said bending down to his height and forging strong to say goodbye.

"I love you, Becca" so whispered a hint of a slight smile, a moment before running toward the entrance of the center.

Each time, you squeeze the heart to leave him alone, but had no choice.

6.30 am

"Hello, Nathan. It pretty cold this morning, right? "Considered by lowering the window of the Escalade in front of the bar the entry of the NBAC.

"Hello Michael, how is it already here at this hour?" Said the guard, surprised by the unusual advance with which the swimmer is was presented for training.

"I wanted to make me swim."

"Alec will be happy to have company," said the man, raising the bar to make it fit.

He started the engine and went his way, wondering who this Alec. For a moment, did not give much importance to it, figuring it was one of the boys selected by Bob during his stay in New Orleans.

When he entered the building the lights were still off. Except for the cleaning ladies who clean the locker room before the arrival of athletes, there was no one else. Crossed the threshold of the pool with slow steps, still a little 'sleepy. He took off the sweatshirt and placed it close to the bag. Only then he realized that someone was swimming in the Olympic pool reserved for professionals and it annoyed him.

The only reason that drove him to wake up early that day was the desire to dissolve a bit 'moody brooding in the undisturbed swimming.

"Hey you, you can not stay here. This pool is reserved for the boys team, "he said curtly.

He stopped, pushing back his voice, when he realized that that shadow that slipped between the fast lane was just a baby.

"Excuse me, but usually there is nobody at this hour!" Alec is justified in approaching the pool.

Michael was staring at him from above, with hands on hips.

"You mean that often come so soon," he asked in amazement, running a hand on her stomach.

The boy nodded his head.

"You are Alec, right?"

" Alejandro Reyes," he said proudly patted his chest.

Michael gave him a sincere smile. Then he jumped next to him.

"And tell me, your parents let you stay here alone when the center is still closed? Are not you afraid? "He asked once emerged on the surface.

"I do not have parents," she explained quietly.

At that moment, Michael remembered what Bob had mentioned about a child by promising talents, who had taken a test until Christmas and that came from a center for children that do not remember the name .

"Come here, a champion," he said placing the items properly and adjusting glasses the headset, "Want to swim with me? Think you can Starmie behind? "

" No, you follow me, "said starting to swim without fear.

Michael opened his eyes pleasantly surprised to find so much courage in a young child. Maybe Bob was right to think he had the qualities to become an athlete.

Baltimore (MD)

North Baltimore Aquatic Club

October 20, 2010

17.00

a month had passed since Alec had started training at NBAC. Despite trying to do his best to impress Bowman, the man seemed determined not to make a decision before the appointed time.

Alec never complained to the effort, but the instructors could make him difficult to enforce discipline. If he was ordered to do ten baths, he he was nine, or eleven or no, depending on what turned my head. Often fights with classmates and often he happened to bathrobe with them for trivial reasons, like the cabinet to be filled or lined up to use the shower.

Even at school things were not going very well, because he could not integrate in an environment that is considered hostile, grumpy because of his character that led him to distrust of all.

Rebecca did what he could to help him, but at night when he tried to talk reason with him, often collapsing on the couch watching TV, both exhausted.

"What do you think Alec?" He asked, turning to Michael Bowman. "Beginning to be a bit 'worried. His times are good, but temperamentally I am highly doubtful. E 'aggressive and does not have the slightest respect for authority. "

Michael watched him do gymnastics dumb confused the other children.

"Look, look! Exactly what I meant, "said Bob upset, when she saw him push to land a mate. "Alec!" called him from a distance.

"I'll take," said Michael Bowman holding his arm, about to intervene.

He went to his room and without giving justifications grabbed him by the ear, pulling it back. Then they surrounded the life and held it up in the air.

"Hey! Let me go! I have to give a lesson to that child! "Screamed combative, kicking like a wild cat.

"Today, you do lesson me, "he said with a look rigid in throwing water," I do not want to hear your voice. "

He sat on the edge and prepared to achieve it.

"Follow me!" Ordered him starting to swim in the lane.

Alec looked at him with his mouth slightly ajar, undecided whether to heed or obey pride. After all, it was Michael Phelps, not a swimmer and any occasions of that kind do not happen often. At least not to a child like him. He took a deep breath and followed him holding his desire to make a controversy.

After about thirty tanks without interruption, Michael stopped to give him a chance to catch my breath. Alec grabbed the floating lane almost no energy, with his mouth wide open while trying to inhale as much air as possible. His cheeks looked like an eggplant purple and his eyes were burning because of the chlorine penetrated through the goggles.

While trying to recover, the jubilant voices of his companions who were preparing to return home the distracted. Every day the same scene: sets of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who came to take their children to the end of training. Since he lost his mother, he was accustomed to being alone, but even if he did not want to admit it, part of that aggression vented on others stemmed from jealousy he felt towards those who had a family.

Michael immediately noticed her look sad and do not take him long to guess the reason. He too had suffered during childhood for the separation of his parents and could understand it better than anyone else.

"So you want to explain why you attacked your partner? "

" He deserved it, "he muttered quietly putting himself on the defensive.

"Why did you do?" Asked a second time with a gentler tone.

"Becca has offended."

Michael looked at him curiously. "Who?"

"He said he is never here because you see ashamed of the work he does and I am not worthy to join this group. "

"Becca is the person who takes care of you, right?" Broadly understood remembering what Bob had mentioned.

"Yes, she lives with me."

"And I ask you what do you do?"

"The waitress in a downtown hotel."

"I understand. See Alec, if you'll stay with us you will get used to having to do with certain people. You have talent, but many try to make you think you are worth enough to attack you and hurt you. Do not listen to them, never! Go ahead and trust the people you love. Only them. You love to Becca? "

" Yes, she is everything to me, "answered not ashamed to admit what he felt.

Michael smiled, happy to be finally able to communicate. Stubborn little boy he liked, and spending time with him made him feel good, detaching it from its concerns.

"Come on, we resume training."

19.00

Rebecca walked back and forth nervously watching the clock. Like every night, waiting for Alec in front of the large library of Upper Street, a place not crowded enough to be noticed and just one block from the NBAC.

Surprisingly that night the baby was late and she did not know what to think.

Concerned, he decided to meet him, walking toward the center. He grabbed it with both hands, stretching up the neck of his sweater sticking out of a sleeveless down jacket. He picked up his hair under a cap, hoping to go unnoticed. She knew it was dangerous to approach the NBAC, why take the risk of being recognized, or worse, to meet Michael. But it was more than an hour waiting and began to fear something terrible had happened.

He stopped near the rear exit. In the parking lot just noticed few cars, a sign that most of the athletes had already returned home. Yet there was no sign of Alec.

assailed by anxiety, she began to dial the phone number Bowman for news.

"Rebecca? Really you? "Came a familiar voice behind him, is breathtaking.

"Liz!" Stammered paralyzed by surprise when he recognized her.

"What do you do in Baltimore?"

panicked and my heart started pounding in my chest. "I do not ... here ..."

Suddenly, he saw Alec quickly rush down the stairs. "Becca, I'm here!" Called allegro, followed closely by Nick at him to bring a backpack that he had forgotten in the locker room.

jumped in the arm by covering it with kisses. "Sorry I'm late, but I can not imagine who he coached today! Michael ... Michael Phelps! " shouted excited and proud to have done the lesson with his idol.

"Alec, you forgot the ..." Nick was silent just knew Becky, "backpack ..." he murmured visibly surprised to see it.

"They're teaming up with Mike, you know Becca? They are good, although not as the Kid "he said happily. "Hey, you take? Why did you all stop talking? ".

Rebecca turned pale, seeing the corner of Michael set off across the parking lot toward his car. She saw him look up to her and felt her breath freeze. Instinctively he turned in the opposite direction, with Alec in her arms, because he would not see her face.

"Move, climb on my car!" Nick ordered by taking control of the situation after the astonishment of the first few minutes.

Rebecca hesitated, undecided what to do.

"He's right him. By Becky, let's go! "Liz urged her to push with his hand on his back in Thoman's car, parked a few steps.

Baltimore (MD)

Mc Donald's

20.00

While Alec and Nick played the PS3 made available to customers, Becky and Liz sitting at a table talking.

were many questions that Liz wanted to ask you, starting with Michael because he doped, betraying the trust of all. The last time they were seen was in Manchester and since then had spent almost a year.

"Are not you hungry?" Liz asked, noting that Becky had not given him a bite of his sandwich.

She rubbed his stomach, "Not much" he admitted, shaking his head. "Now that you know that I live in Baltimore and I deal with Alec, what are you going to do? I say to Michael? "

Liz looked at her thoughtfully, taking a swig of his coke. "No," said a moment later, putting the glass on the table, "If Bowman is fine, I have nothing against it."

Rebecca At these words he felt more relieved because, as they had put things, he thought he not be able to keep the covenant with Bob.

"Thanks, thanks, Liz! You do not know how important it is for us, "said the girl, taking her hands and squeezing them tight in hers.

best seen, felt that Liz had grown a lot since the last time he had encountered. She had risen a few inches and wore his long hair tied back in a ponytail. In addition, a trace of makeup made her look like an adult.

"You grew up, Lizzy," said instinctively, finally starting to eat.

"Many things have changed in the last year," confided blushing, glancing at his friend who played with Alec in the bottom of the small room.

"No! You mean ... you and Nick? "

" They will be eight months next week. "

"You look happy."

"Indeed they are, even if we decided to take things slowly. I know that I am too young to throw myself wholeheartedly in a relationship. I just know that next to him I feel good and do not want to miss it. There one thing I would ask you, "he said in an unsteady voice. "Why did you hurt Michael? I always thought you loved him, even though we have never spoken. "

Rebecca swallowed the last bite and wiped with a napkin.

"If you do not mind I would not talk any more about this story. I made a mistake, a big stupid mistake, but I paid for my mistake. I built a new life and I'm done with the past. Liz Believe me, if they are in Baltimore is only for Alec "said with extreme security. "I'm not asking you to forgive me or trust me, but only to allow me to help that child. Michael he will never in my life. "

The friend stared at her for a long time trying to figure out if it was sincere. Finally, although she could not find a single plausible reason to believe her, touched her hand gently. "Okay, Becky, discussion closed."

As Elizabeth was young, he was not naive, but if Bob Bowman Rebecca had decided to offer a second chance must have had his reasons and, although he knew them, trusted him blindly.

She poured her a cup of coffee from the pitcher that the maid had left on the table. Becky drank in small sips, careful not to burn. It was pleasant to sit in that space in a hot drink with a friend. Rebecca began to miss those little gestures that each girl of her age shared daily with the people he loved.

"And what about you? I mean ... maybe not my business, but after Michael? "Liz said pointing to a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, Becky! It 's been almost a year and there would be no harm if you had met another man. "

Becky's cheeks were painted as cherries.

"No, no ... you're wrong," he stammered shyly hiding her face behind the coffee cup. "Michael was the last man to be ... 'Do you understand what I mean. " Even if Liz had always felt at ease, she could not naturally externalize some confidence.
