The server picked Andrew's teeth as he finished the third course. Pasta with pesto sauce. Something he had never eaten before but tasted good just by eating it.

The snacks were almost finished. Andrew couldn't eat anymore.

"Bring the Last Dish."

"There's a very good dessert waiting for you, it's a speciality from a foreign chef that we only have in our restaurant, " the attendant who was now half a friend of Andrew asked them to bring him "The Grand Finale.".

(But is that how you meet all the people who look like me?)

Andrew looked at the last of those waiters who carried a transparent crystal glass, and was better dressed than he was.

"Here monsieur, your Apple Crumble and Vanilla Ice cream steamed gently and drifted in the local wind.

"Please, can you have them bring out the best thing they have so I can smoke it?"

"Of course, here is your wish is my command," the attendant who was there with him to entertain him left where he was and after going down the stairs, disappeared for a few seconds and came back with a Christmas package.

"For you Sir. On the house bill."

Andrew was looking at the package, and after studying it he looked a little suspiciously at the clerk beside him.

"Oh, of course, Sir. I almost forgot. Here's a small cutter so you can open the package," That small cutter slipped into Andrew's hand, and after managing to open the package he felt a natural aroma of flowers and bushes. He was content with the gift.

"Sniff, sniff" that plump brown cigarette smelled fresh. As if it were something prepared just for him.

"Clack! Clack! FUHH!" That incinerator glowed in the dark that night. There weren't any stars because of the clouds, but a sky view like that didn't look bad either.

"Can I?" the attendant was pointing at the end of Andrew's cigarette.

"Certainly. Do the honours, dear," he brought the cigarette to his mouth and after the first drag, he expelled pink smoke. That was a kind of softener in the lung. It looked like they were doing multiple CPRs on him.

"F*ck Cus. I like this house gift. You have to work for me more often."

"Sir, just ask and I'll be there."

Andrew was finishing dessert and after noticing that his belly had gained a little volume.

"Vrrr, vrrrr" the phone vibrated.

"Hello, I hear you need some clothes?"

"Who told you that?"

"You, of course," That voice was male but it looked like a teenager's, it was more acute.

"But I don't remember doing that."

"Are we going to wear the clothes or not?" The teenager on the other end of the phone had grown tired of talking.

"Alright, Alright. Let's put on good clothes. I haven't worn new clothes in a while. It will be refreshing."

As he went down the elevator he heard a melody in it, was some classic music and Andrew was looking at the attendant who was very silent.

They stopped again on the first floor.

"Make a good way home Sir. We look forward to seeing you again. And don't forget to call me when you need me."

Andrew got off the elevator and walked back out onto the street. He was back in South Sterling in the middle of all those screens.

"Hello."

"Oh, hello," Andrew replied a little confused as he looked at the place he was standing.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me. I'm here to help you after all."

"Yes. So how can I get dressed?"

"Choose a place where you have clothes you like and we'll go shopping," the teenager was very willing to know what Andrew was going to choose to wear.

He walked through the streets on that side of town and just remembered that he saw a clothing store where clothes appeared in the window.

But that store was in Sterling Square. A place a little far from there and he was a little relaxed to walk. He'd rather sleep if that were the case.

(How am I supposed to get dressed if it's so far away? Maybe I'll go tomorrow morning, I still have time for that. But I didn't want to keep feeling dirty)

"You know, the store that has the clothes I want is a little far from here..." Andrew didn't even finish answering and was interrupted by that "Where is it?" the teenager behind the telephone line.

"It's in Sterling Square. It's about 50 mins from here."

A silence settled over the phone line.

A few seconds passed.

"Hello!"

The silence continued.

"Hello," Andrew repeated again.

It was sudden, but an automatic car equipped with many lights stops on the road ahead and the driver opens the car door and calls out to Andrew from a distance.

"ARE YOU MR. ANDREW?"

"Yes, Sir. It's me," Andrew approached the car and the driver signalled for him to get in.

He was a little hesitant because he knew it was dirty, and the inside of the car was very clean.

Andrew got into the car, sat down, and the seat accommodated the shape of his body. He started to shake slightly and Andrew heard "In 10 mins we are in Sterling Square, don't worry, Sir."

The car's engine made noise when changing power, but so that Andrew wouldn't be bothered by that, it started playing a melody that distracted him.

In less than 10 minutes they were in front of a designer store in Sterling Square.

(But how did they guess the right store? I didn't even say where it was. But that's all right, nothing wrong)

"You are really good at this."

"You are the owner of the world, we are simply following commands," the teenager spoke in a soft tone inside that orange telephone.

Andrew was walking towards the shop and the woman looking through the glass door had started to walk away as he approached.

"Yelena! Here comes a homeless."

"Don't play with me, my shift will be over soon and we'll close the shop," Yelena, was beautiful with almost purple eyes naturally long eyelashes, hair that reached her shoulders, and a very curved hip. She had strong feminine features.

Andrew was waiting for them to come to open the door for me. How strange. They saw him coming. They must probably be getting ready to receive him.

"Hello, sir," the teenager called Andrew on the phone "Sir. SIR!"

"Ah, I'm not deaf," Andrew spoke with the phone looking curiously into the store. He was trying to figure out how to open the door, and as he approached, "You haven't entered the store yet, why?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to open this door."

"If it's complicated to open, why haven't they come to help you yet?" The teenager on the phone was very serene as he asked the question.

"I don't know, I think they're scared of me. It's normal, people usually treat me like that."

"CLASH!" the shop door opened and Andrew went inside.

    A silence settled in the place as the door closed by itself."Hi, I want some clothes. Could you get me something to wear?"The two female attendants exchanged glances."Hi, what do you want here?" Said that attendant who had run away from him.Andrew looked at her while she didn't approach and continued talking from afar."If you are far away, how will you understand?""Ah, yes. I let myself approach," after making an expression of who thought Andrew was disgusting, the attendant approached a few steps "POC! POC! POC!" she wore high heels that made a pleasurable sound when they hit the wooden floor."I want something to wear," I came because your clothes always caught my attention."Sir, even if you think so. This is not a store for you. You must have made a mistake""But I like your clothes. How am I wrong?""You must not have noticed. I said we have nothing for you here."Andrew swallowed hard.

    “Due to the location, it really is Sir Andrew. I'm your new driver. Come in.” That man with bright green eyes was looking at Andrew with the car door open and the engine roaring “Vrooomm! Vrroooomm!”Andrew approached the car and before he could get any closer, “Wait a minute. Shake off your feet before entering, this is not your home.”"What? How is that?”“That's what you heard. Don't come in here with dirty feet. Your kind of people takes garbage everywhere.”Andrew didn't understand why that driver was talking to him like that.After cleaning his feet, he got into the car and got comfortable in his seat.“So, where do we go now?”“I want a good place to sleep.”“Right.

You!" Andrew called the driver to wait a bit there at the motel."Tell me something good muppet. I need to go. Time is money. And money is something you don't have. So don't make me late.""Yes. It's really about money. Tip for the ride," Andrew had taken those bucks from the pizza delivery guy. He had some cash on and had lent it to Andrew on a promise to receive it with interest."Are you sure you won't need that money? Be careful not to end up in debt here.""It's not much but I'm sure it will be useful."The driver took that money rudely. "Cha-ching!" he was making the notes rattle as he receiv

He was speaking rudely to one of his subordinates."But, Boss Alonso asked us to let him know if we heard anything new about the plan.""What? Then why didn't you say so? Even for that, you're shitty," Alonso got out of bed and started to get dressed."But Boss...""Shut your mouth.

He put the barrel of G9 in the waiter's mouth, put the barrel in his nose, and put it back in his mouth, smiling.He nudged the waiter's head with the barrel and stared at Andrew."What do you think we should do Sir Andrew?""No kills, I'm always saying preferably no kills. I also think it's very extreme to show a gun.""I understand. Even though you come from West Lincoln, Monsieur Andrew is what we call a soft shitty. In my language, it sounds better.""But is it always necessary to be this violent?""Fear and power go hand in hand, Monsieur Andrew. If they don't have fear, you don't have power.

    That shirtless man began to approach Andrew and after realizing that everyone, there was unable to stop him, either due to lack of conscience or visible fear, he reduced the fire in himself until it stopped illuminating that dark night.“Cough! Cough!” Andrew was coughing, still tied up against the wall. The drinking had long since passed, but he thought he was seeing things.“Hey Boss, why didn't you wait for me at the airport? I was scared when I found out that you were kidnapped. What a mess."The man speaking to Andrew had a slight Latin accent. He lifted him, and after tearing the ropes that bound Andrew with his bare hands, he helped him to shake himself. It was full of dust.“But who are you?”“I am the person responsible for you in this country, Boss. You can call me Hernand"Hernand left that place, and Andrew followed.

    Andrew felt his suitcase crush his head, “PAFF!”. His own suitcase had been thrown at Andrew and that made him wake up, blinking his eyes very fast in fright. He couldn't bring his hands to his face because he was tied up.“Argh! What is this?”Andrew tried to adapt his eyes to the local light.“You're in your new home. Now this is first class”Andrew managed to adapt his eyes to the brightness of the place and realized that he was in a kind of very poorly maintained room where some men were playing poker and drinking beers. There was also a lot of smoke in the air, but Andrew couldn't be certain what they were smoking because the smoke was coloured.There were also the two men with ponytails who had picked Andrew up at the airport, and it was very likely they were the ones who had knocked him out.(Luckily I didn't die from that blow, but I'm glad nothing bad happened to me.

She didn't know whom they were looking for, but she was sure it wasn't her.“STEP! STEP!” they walked quickly into the kitchen. And they analyzed the situation.“It's good that they arrived. Let's take the people from here. They call themselves Boss's parents. Let's find out and ask for an answer”The man spoke and after picking up the pan, he took out one of the brownies, and threw it in the face of Andrew's stepfather.“Now eat that sh*t! You were acting very smart"“Splash!” the Brownie splattered across Andrew's stepfather's face like it was sh*t. And that man left while Andrew's mother and stepfather were routed to one of the area's operations headquarters.The brownies were completely eaten.

    In Andrew's old house, things remained the same. His mother was always upset about everything and she was always talking nonsense. And since there was no Andrew now, she limited herself to threatening her husband.“Go take out the garbage before I decide to throw your breakfast down the drain”“But I'm resting. I can't even do that at the weekend?”“I won't speak again. When I leave the kitchen, let you know there's no more breakfast for you”Andrew's stepdad got up and went to the kitchen to take out the black organic garbage bag and take it to the bin closest to the house. There were some of the past men who belonged to the factions and were organizing themselves to start making the monthly collections. Andrew's stepdad threw out the garbage and ran into the house, because he wanted to avoid being stopped by those people. He let his wife handle matters like that. Before closing the door, he was still peeking to see the movements that followed outside.He wanted to make sure no one h

Some men in unmarked suits who looked like they were from the secret services saw his car arrive and approached the luggage rack to take his bags.Andrew gave his car instructions for it to return to its parking spot inside his base of operations and after all the doors closed the car moved alone along the road outside that gigantic airport of international flights, towards the base of operations.“Sir Andrew, accompany us. We have your passport. We will check in in person and proceed outside the passenger control.”“I trust you to guide me” Andrew accompanied those who carried their bags to doors that were without queues. The detectors were specific to first-class personnel. And by the looks of it, Andrew was the

After that show at the wedding, I never saw him or heard from him again. I blocked everything and disappeared. Or in this case, I followed my life, and since he couldn't do anything, he stayed behind. But why ask me about him so suddenly?”“I just remembered that story. I remember when we were counting down the hours for this to be over. Those were hilarious moments. And the idiot didn't even realize he was in a game.”“Hahaha! I remember it well. It was fun to a certain extent. I almost missed it. It was a very short time of my life, but as you can see, it was worth it” Alice opened her arms as if showing everything that was around her. But deep down it wasn't what she wanted. She hoped that after having gone through the moments with Andrew, A

    Alice walked into her palace and opened every door to every compartment just because she felt like opening it. She looked at all the luxuries inside the place where she was living and went back to take a few more turns around the palace. The walls were made of precious ornamental stones, the floor more special and mirrored than jade, and the various pieces of art that matched her being. They were all there, letting that gorgeous, wonderful place shine in the middle of that exclusive area for the newly married couple, Magnum.“This palace is so big, but it's so empty. Maybe I should call some friends and throw a party here. I know Alonso won't be back home anytime soon, because he's gone to the nearest town to look into some of his investments.

I don't feel comfortable with you here”“She left because she didn't want to see what she would do with you”“Then no. I'm not going to give her the money, I know that you intend to kill me anyway. Even if I do, you know I can talk about her at the hotel where she works”“You don't need to worry about that, she already said goodbye, and that's why she needs the money”“Hu, okay. That way I understand better, but quite honestly, you won't be able to take any money because I don't have any.
