Between Guns and Roses

Pedro's Gift

Pedro looked serious listening to Antonio's story, occasionally his head was seen nodding small sign of understanding the meaning of the words of his partner.

"Hmm, so it's like that. You suspect that the police can find you from the pictures you sent to the detectives" Pedro told Antonio's story.

"Logical! It makes perfect sense!" said firmly.

"I think the two detectives will store important data into a hidden folder, so that it can not be found by anyone other than the owner" said Antonio.

"But in fact not" he added in a soft tone of voice.

Pedro patted Antonio on the shoulder slowly.

"Calm down! I'll think about finding a solution for this" he said.

Then he remembered something that Antonio had previously asked for.

"Oiya, this is the pill you asked for. It's too careless of you to keep important things in a less secure place like my cafe" he said, handing over a small plastic package containing the formula to Antonio.

"Gracians!" antonio replied briefly as he grabbed and put the plastic in his pants pocket.

Suddenly Rosalinda came carrying a tray of two glasses of water a plate of snacks.

"Please gentlemen!" the woman said as she placed her tray on a table near Antonio's bed.

"Thank you!" answer the two men simultaneously.

Rosalinda just smiled looking at the two men in front of her who looked familiar despite being quite far away.

"Miss!" call Pedro in brief.

Rosalinda who walked out of the room immediately stopped her steps and turned to look at Pedro.

"Yes, sir" she replied with a smile.

"Where are you going? Here, we'll talk. I have not thanked him" Pedro said.

Rosalinda frowned and walked leisurely towards the small chair near Antonio's bed, then sat neatly and gracefully.

"Yes, Mr. Pedro, no problem. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to help everyone who needs help. Whoever it is," Rosalinda said sternly but looked relaxed.

"Looky! Do you know who we are?" ask Pedro to investigate.

"For me it is not a matter of background or social status. As long as he needs help, yes I will help within the limits of my ability" replied Rosalinda with great authority.

Antonio was surprised to hear the words of the woman in front of him, he did not expect that a woman as beautiful as Rosalinda was able to say with great authority.

"Thank you Rose, for your help I can finally be saved" he said.

"That's it, there's no need to overdo it. Your work is indeed full of risks, I think it has become commonplace. Like a member of the military, wounded, shot, or shot, it became commonplace" said Rosalinda.

Pedro was surprised and frowned.

"Antona! You saying?" Pedro asked Antonio with a look of wonder.

Antonio sighed for a moment.

"Yes, I said it. It's for my own good, he should know who I am. Because in addition to helping me, he also seemed to have no problem with my identity" replied Antonio.

"Yes Mr. Pedro, for me it is not a matter of who Antonio is" Rosalinda said.

Pedro then let out a long sigh, he could not believe if Antonio opened his identity to a person who had not been known for a long time.

For members of the association, the identity must always be confidential. Besides being able to be fatal to members, it could also have adverse effects on the performance of the association. The easier it is to know, the easier it is to track.

"Miss, do you have an account number?" ask Pedro.

"There," answered Rosalinda a little confused.

"Please note it here!" Pedro handed his phone to Rosalinda.

Rosalinda who did not understand just obey, he recorded his account number in full and clear. Then handed the phone back to Pedro.

"Thank you" said Pedro briefly.

"Now check your account Miss, I've sent you a gift. As a sign of gratitude for taking care of our friend" Pedro said with a smile.

Rosalinda who still feels confused can only obey Pedro's words, he then checked the contents of the account through his cellphone.

How surprised Rosalinda was when she saw the contents of her account become multiplied many times. He could say nothing but close his mouth with his palm.

"Mr Pedro, what are you doing?" he said with eyes that began to glaze over.

"No problem Miss, we will appreciate the people who appreciate us. Any amount of money is not enough and will not be able to repay Miss' kindness" Pedro replied humbly.

Rosalinda then glanced for a moment at Antonio who was still lying, but Antonio only nodded his head in affirming Pedro's words.

"Thank you, sir," said Rosalinda, wiping her eyes, which slowly let out water.

His feelings at this moment were moved and happy. He did not expect the presence of Antonio brought many surprises that had never even been thought of before.

"Miss, can I borrow your phone charger?" ask Pedro.

"Before a second" Rosalinda answered, rushing to another room to get a charger.

"Either why, when using the GPS feature of this phone battery becomes wasteful," Pedro muttered softly.

"You? Using GPS? Didn't I give you an address?" sahut Antonio's.

"The roads are jammed, I can't be stuck for long in traffic. It's sickening" replied Pedro.

Shortly thereafter Rosalinda came with a mobile phone charger.

"Please sir" he said, giving the charger to Pedro.

Pedro then grabbed it and put it on the phone, then he connected it to the power supply. After making sure his phone battery is charged, he put it on the table after setting his phone in silent mode.

Meanwhile, at Antonio's family home, Anna looks well dressed and will rush to Pedro's place to ask him to look for Antonio.

"I'm sure Pedro must know where Antonio is," he murmured as he rushed his car to Acquolina Cafe.

Having gotten used to the route, Anna already knew of a shortcut to prevent congestion. So it did not take long he was in the front parking lot of Acquolina Cafe.

Cafe visitors at the time were not too many, so it was easy for Anna to meet Ferguso who was seen sitting relaxed while fiddling with his phone.

"Hello Fergus!" greet Anna.

Ferguso, who was serious, was shocked and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Oh, hi Miss!" Ferguso replied to Anna.

"Where's Pedro? Can I see him now?" asked Anna in a hurry.

"Sorry Miss, the boss is out. He said he would be out for a long time, maybe until the cafe closed," Ferguso replied, nodding his head, accompanying the music that began to be heard filling the cafe room.

Disappointment was clearly visible on Anna's face, the woman just grabbed her phone and called Pedro.

His eyes circled around, occasionally meeting glances with male visitors who were enchanted by her beauty.

"Why didn't he answer my call?" He said when he found out his call had gone unanswered.

Then he fiddled with his cell phone, but suddenly went to his mind to track down Pedro's whereabouts. He then activated a sophisticated application on his phone, an application to track location.

Then slowly his smile developed when he found out that Pedro's GPS signal looks active and shows the current location.

"All right, I'll be there" he murmured with confidence.
