The one-eyed. 84: The wildlife detectives.
left me sitting there, wondering who had manipulated who, if the whole conversation would not have been a strategy to get me to convince myself the futility of my position and see the benefits of accepting the agreement, settling the and trust and settle this relationship that we had imposed Don Fede post mortem.
After I was wondering what he would do with such Sebastián. Lucia, the lawyer, I was acting as a private prosecution against him. In doubt I chose something that was already becoming routine: hire a detective to investigate and monitor the Sebas. If he found an opportunity, you may crush legally, and if not we would see.
I left the cafeteria. "I will not do anything else, I have no strength, need to rest, wait." Diet, hypertension, depression, whatever.
Yet it was not possible to rest a long time. If I was not looking for business, business seemed to me looking for me. Detective
The commission commended it to Lucy. I had no desire or take care of that. She chose an obscure agency office Gran Via Madrid. "Matt and CB Blas" and called the agency, in response to the two partners and only detectives who made up the template. Matt was a former security guard of a bank-based workshops that had been converted to research work to get the title. Little education, average intelligence, but a lot of perseverance, tenacity, and strength. Was a town of Toledo and took pride their peasant origins. Occasionally made a display of wildness.
The other, Bert, was a former policeman, who was expelled from the body due to reasons that never got out in detail. Sometimes implied that it was used for bypass procedures and methods expeditious with offenders. Further it showed the shadow of corruption.
At first he made a number of surveillance and monitoring to see what he did today. Within days the Sebas attended parties, concerts, nightclubs and restaurants. Despite which seems to be bored, because after one week left bound for Ibiza, which was their main residence. At the same time investigate the financial and tax situation. Agreed, by a hacker, a database of social security, with the result that his life had contributed only 45 days, in his youth, too much and did not return repeated. In the Treasury had not news of its existence. In return, the banks themselves were well aware that, as a paying customer who had won multiple claims in different locations, none of whom were satisfied.
- What we do, we move to Ibiza to follow suit, or leave it at this point? "I asked Matt to Lucy, to give a preliminary report .- The truth is going to be expensive, and if they are looking for a debt charge seems to me that you have very black. Although there are other methods ... "I suggested.
"No, not about any debt. What my client wants is information on this subject, to see which is his weak point.
- Does your weakness for?
"I do not know yet, that will decide my client.
"If your client wants to give a lesson, we can paste a beating ... And speaking of beatings, taking advantage that you are a lawyer, I wanted to say that my partner and I have a misconduct trial shortly.
- Is this the ticket? "Matt gave it .- You know, plus it puts it, it is not necessary to go to a lawyer ...
" Yeah, but Blas and I would like to have a good defense, you know.
"Well, I see it is for a minor assault and threats. Before accepting the case would have to consult my client, I have a contract exclusively to him for his many affairs, and is actually my boss. But I could tell what it is and so while I'm thinking.
"Well my cousin had passed a restaurant in this type, which has denounced. The transfer price was ten million paid in cash three, and seven other bills of exchange. Well, those letters has not paid any, all have been returned by the bank.
- What did you do? "Then we bought
bills of exchange to my cousin, by forty percent.
- did they buy the debt?
"Yes, actually it was my cousin suggested it to me with great insistence, was pressed for money. So I Blas ask for a loan to the bank and bought it.
- What next? "We tried
charge, of course. First for the good, making visits to remind your debt. Sometimes they give us twenty thousand pesetas, other days fifteen thousand, which was in the box at the time. Lately almost never gave us anything, used to have the empty box. We realized that at that pace we would finish no charge in life, we got the runaround. So one night we were mad at my partner and I, we had taken a drink, and he went to his restaurant. We gave a good locally termed the shit, and told him that if we are not paid within twenty-four hours we were going to kill. The next day the guy was scared and we paid everything he owed, the truth, I do not know where I'd get the money, we were amazed. However, after it has been because of regret, or fear has happened, or someone has recommended, because the case is that we have denounced.
That's what Lucy told me, asking me if I thought well they defend.
- Why not? A simple trial of offenses not going to steal a long time ...
"Of course not, and always good to have some clients who are at once our detectives.
Lucia made an effective defense on the ground that the complainant had not come immediately to the medical center until several days after the alleged facts, so that the report of the injuries could not be considered evidence. Cancelled this document as evidence, all he had was conflicting, between the complainant and the accused. It also certify that they had a conflict of interest between both parties, because of unpaid, which questioned the veracity of the complainant. The detectives were acquitted. To celebrate, Lucia was invited to a meal. It asked if they could go with her client, or I, since he had perceived the possibility of closer cooperation, even permanent, between us, I as a regular customer, they and detectives. And happily accepted Teo Blas, in fact I know curiosity itched. Lucia almost dragged me to this meal, I resisted, installed on my laziness, my apathy. Or maybe you wanted to know how far your interest for including me.
"I think that food can get something interesting ... If you are. "Said Lucia.
I do not know what you mean.
"Well, if I try to shake myself a bit with me, not even bind me, and that's all, no talk of anything else, peace here and then glory.
- What if I what can happen? Do not try to link you. I understand, you wish to protect their gallantry, That is why fear not resist ... "I tried to joke, but I hung up. However, I saw to my surprise they had blushed, which led me to believe that somehow had hit the mark.
"Look boss, you're interested in this detective, you love, I know. Maybe nothing will happen, but you can not miss the opportunity to meet these two characters, believe me, are atypical.
"Okay, you win. "I think that's what convinced me that my lawyer had described these atypical. I sincerely intended to have some fun, at least distract me from my obsessions.
first thing that caught my attention, at sight, was the apparent total disparity between them. Matt was dressed as he was, rustic, a pair of jeans, a shirt and a jersey worn somewhat wrinkled. Of medium height, strong, robust, and an incipient paunch. By contrast, Blas rope and I had as I shook his hand, he was handsome as an American actor about to receive the Oscar. Tall, over six feet, slim, dressed in a sleek Armani suit, perfumed, tight. At that point I realized flush Lucia, and the fact that I hardly had told de Blas. The silences and omissions are significant.
They talked a lot, especially Matt, while attacking the ham, beef jerky, peppers. It was a rustic lunch, Teo style, but very satisfying. I started biting myself slowly, tasting a bit of each dish, and ended up taking him a taste, forgetting my diet, my health and my apathy. I listened with interest and occasionally asking questions. I told her adventures as researchers. I quickly realized that they enjoyed their work. For them it represented the almost total freedom. I sensed what was the point of encounter between a bank guard force of will had won the title of investigator and a police officer whose tastes and manners could hardly marry the bureaucracy of the state security bodies. Matt was in charge of tasks of patient surveillance and monitoring. Blas instead took on the toughest assignments, even risky, requiring his inventiveness, his ability to disguise, deceit, to elicit the truth through lies.
-I just finished a case that has amused me much .- It started Blas, mediated and lunch .- In a casino had long suspected that some of the employees was stealing some money. Earnings simply did not correspond to the number of customers entering. Did not know who or how he succeeded, but someone stole. Placed hidden cameras filming, however the studio recordings did not provide any clues. All movements and gestures of employees and customers were apparently normal. Tried, by my counsel, adopting a rule that would allow the records to employees, but the union committee refused, threatening to go to court, because it undermined the dignity of workers. So there was only one way.
"Wait a minute, I have to go to the bathroom," I interrupted, to my regret, but he drank so much water lately, by order of my dietician, I am forced to make constant trips to the toilet, you most certainly do True to its name, do not count on anything until I return, I will not miss any detail.
