The Casa Del Castaneda

Body in the Sack

Rogelio rushed to Paloma's room, having finished communicating with Lawyer Cardenas. The middle-aged man's mind was gone, when he recalled the lawyer's remark saying that Rafael had disappeared and that there was a possibility of being kidnapped.

However, Rogelio's affection for his adopted son was immense, despite all the bad attitude Rafael had taken towards Paloma.

With a fairly firm knock, Rogelio had managed to get Paloma to reopen the door of his room. The young woman was stunned while putting on an expression of astonishment, when she saw the father-in-law who turned out to be her real father coming back there. Moreover, Rogelio's facial features also look strange and suspicious.

Paloma, who had wanted to limit communication with Rogelio, was unable to do so. He could not ignore a single side of his heart, which had gotten to know the figure of the middle-aged man.

“What's up, Dad?” tanya Paloma was curious.

“Rafael, Son,” replied Rogelio lethargic.

“What's with Rafael?” tanya Paloma knitted her brows.

“Dia .. I just got a call from a lawyer he hired in Spain. The lawyer said that Rafael disappeared without news. Footage of the hotel supervisor, which he was in, showed him being taken by several people. Where did they take Rafael? What should we do?” Rogelio exhaled a long breath that ended his complaint slowly.

“Rafael disappeared? She kidnapped?” Paloma frowned, "but, why?" thought.

“That's the biggest possibility, son,” Rogelio said. “I have no acquaintances in Spain ..” Rogelio was silent as he stared at Paloma.

“Sebastian,” by Paloma, “maybe he can help find information.” However, Paloma immediately fell silent after saying so. He seemed to be rethinking his words. Paloma knew that was not a good idea. “Forget it,” he said later.

Rogelio did not respond. Apparently, he had no intention of asking Sebastian for help. Moreover, after saying that he has no acquaintances in Spain. That means that Rogelio does not consider the widower rich anymore. “I will tell Enrique to prepare a ticket to Spain. Let me take care of this problem myself,” said the middle-aged man sure. “Do you want to come with me?” bargained for.

Paloma did not answer immediately. He seemed to think for a moment. A moment later, the young lady seemed to have made up her mind. Paloma nodded. “I'm coming, Dad,” he said.

“Good. Prepare yourself for departure there.” After saying so, Rogelio turned his back. He passed from before Paloma who was still fixated on the doorway.

Paloma closed the door. He went back to bed, then sat on the edge. The thought of the twenty-five-year-old woman, floated on the figure of Rafael who disappeared. “You where, Rafael?”

Thousands of miles away from Mexico. A man was standing on the edge of the cliff. From the appearance and large backpack on his back, it can be ascertained that the man is a climber. “What did you find, Chico?” exclaimed the man to his dog who was at the bottom of the ravine.

The dog did not look. He was busy surrounding the large burlap sack that was near the rock. Occasionally, the four-legged animal sniffed near the sack earlier.

“What?” reply one of the three men, who brought the same stuff as the owner of the dog.

“Entahlah. Down there is a big sack. What if it turns out the contents are the bodies of murder victims?” said the man who owns the dog, turned his attention back to the bottom of the ravine. Meanwhile, the dog did not also move from near the gunny sack earlier.

“Do you think it's something ...” A friend of the dog owner came over. He stood on the edge of the cliff while looking down. A moment later, the man looked at his other friend. “Hey, get the rope ready! I want to get down to the bottom of that ravine!”

“What do you want, Agusto?” His friend who was resting asked.

However, the man named Agusto did not answer. He looked at the dog owner who was still standing next to him. “I'll be down. Help me,” the door. “Hey, you! Help Delmar! I'll go down to make sure the contents in the sack are.”

Two other men who were busy resting, inevitably moved from his seat. They put a slap rope and tied it to a tree, which they had made a shelter. After that, Agusto tied the other end of the rope around his waist using a special hook.

“I'll be down now!” agusto half-cried. Meanwhile, the two friends who had finished tying the rope on the tree trunk, immediately responded by lifting their thumbs.

“Be careful, Friend,” Delmar's message, the dog owner named Chico who is still sitting near the sack.

“This is the part I like the most,” said Agusto while smiling widely. He began to move cautiously, down the rocky precipitous valley. Although the level of slope of the valley was not too steep, but Agusto had to remain vigilant.

A moment later, the man with the hat and sunglasses had arrived near the burlap sack, which made him feel curious. Without removing the slap strap tied around the waist, Agusto grabbed the top of the sack. He opened the rope that tied him.

When the top of the sack opened, Agusto immediately widened his eyes. Without lingering, the man gave the code to his three colleagues watching from above. “Request help on SAR Team. Tell me that we found a corpse here!” exclaim that man.

Without having to be asked twice. Delmar put a large backpack that had been on his back. The man pulled out a caller radio that was deliberately carried. The tool can help them, in case something unwanted happens. Delmar just had to find the right frequency.

Once connected, Delmar informed them of their findings. He also gave precise coordinate points, so that his existence was easy to trace and find. After closing the communication link, Delmar returned to the edge of the cliff. “Help will be here in an hour. We just wait!” it was on Agusto.

Less than an hour later, several members of the SAR Team had arrived there. They had even raised a burlap sack, containing the bloodstained body of a man who was severely injured. “This man is still alive,” said one member of SAR Team, who checked the condition of the man in the sack. The other man is Rafael Hernandez.

“Then, immediately we take it to the nearest hospital,” said the other. They shoulder to shoulder carried the body of Rafael, who was already in a state of unconsciousness and very apprehensive.
