The Casa Del Castaneda

Prejudice

SAR Team members have arrived at the nearest hospital. The team leader has also coordinated with local police to find the identity of the man in the sack who is undergoing intensive care. After all, there must be someone in charge of the patient. Moreover, because the condition of the man who is none other than Rafael is currently in critical condition.

Paloma and Rogelio were on the plane. The young woman sat by the window. Every now and then, he looked out in between his activities reading a book. If it must be revealed, actually at this time Paloma's heart and mind are as erratic as Rogelio's.

The other with Rogelio. The man did nothing but ponder. The anxiety is clearly visible on the old face of the owner of the Estrella Pharmacies. Rogelio was unable to breathe freely, as long as he had not received clarity about Rafael's whereabouts and true condition.

About ten hours of air travel have been passed. There was no meaningful conversation from the father and daughter. They were more silent to each other. Soluble in each other's minds, even until both of them arrived at the hotel.

Rogelio has already made an appointment to meet in person with Cardenas' Lawyer. He only asked for time to rest, until his fatigue was reduced. Rogelio was already lazy to travel long distances, if not for being forced.

Meanwhile, Paloma was inside his room. He walked erratically. The feeling of worry was certainly in his heart, although he did not show it in front of Rogelio.

“Yes, God. What am I supposed to do?” restless Paloma while shaking the bangs that adorn the forehead. Paloma then sat on the edge of the bed holding a cell phone. “Should I go to Sebastian and ask for help secretly?” thought the woman after thinking for a while.

Paloma saw the watch on the left wrist. By then, it was already showing at five in the afternoon. Regardless of feeling tired, he grabbed his sling bag. Paloma walked out of the room, without saying goodbye to Rogelio who might be straightening the body in bed. However, after a few steps through the door, Paloma was stunned again. The face of the owner of hazel eyes looked doubtful.

The young lady with such shoulder hair thought back. At the very least, it took him about two hours to get to Porcuna. If I had to go home that night, it was too much for Paloma. Moreover, he had just arrived from a long Mexican-Spanish flight.

Paloma breathed deeply. He continued to walk towards the elevator. The woman changed plans. He would just go to the hotel restaurant, and spend some time there for a while. However, had not had time to arrive at the hotel restaurant, Paloma had to stop the move again.

While crossing the lobby, Paloma had seen the show on television. There, it was reported that a man had been found in a sack in the Sierra Norte Hills in terrible conditions. The news also named the hospital, where the man in critical condition is being treated.

Paloma undoes his intention to go to the hotel restaurant. He turned around, went back to the room. Paloma went straight to the room occupied by the father. However, before the woman could knock him, the door of the room occupied by Rogelio first opened. Rogelio looks neat. It seems like the man is leaving. “Dad already seen the news on television?” ask Paloma.

“Lawyer Cardenas contacted me a moment ago,” replied Rogelio. “Are you coming?” tanyanya.

Paloma nodded confidently. “I'm coming, Dad,”.

Moments later, Paloma and Rogelio were already on their way. They took a taxi to the place mentioned by the Cardenas Lawyer. In about half an hour, the two had arrived in front of an office building.

Initially, Rogelio had been confused to find the figure of Lawyer Cardenas. In the shadow of Paloma's biological father, the person he will meet is a man like Lawyer Ramos. But Lawyer Cardenas was very young. That fosters a plus for Rogelio.

“Mr Gallardo?” greet the Cardenas Lawyer politely. He greeted Rogelio and Paloma in turn.

“Lawyer Cardenas?” rogelio Bala. For a moment, he ignored the turmoil that was plaguing him. “It's nice to meet in person like this,” Rogelio said.

“Yes, Mr. Gallardo,” reply Lawyer Cardenas. “Master Rafael Hernandez is a pleasant client. Moreover, because our age is also not far adrift, so our communication is both intertwined lightly and does not feel stiff.” The young lawyer turned his eyes to Paloma.

“Oh. Greetings, Mrs Hernandez.” Cardenas' lawyer nodded politely. “What if we just go straight to the hospital where Mr. Rafael Hernandez is being treated. It just so happens that I have confirmed to the relevant hospital, about the whereabouts of Mr. Rafael Hernandez who has disappeared for almost two days,” explained Lawyer Cardenas.

“The sooner we leave, the better,” said Rogelio impatiently. He wants to know about Rafael's condition.

“Alright, Sir. We'll go to the hospital in my car." Cardenas' lawyer directed his father and daughter to a special parking lot.

“Please enter." The young lawyer opened the door for Rogelio as well as Paloma. After they sat down comfortably, Lawyer Cardenas drove his car to a hospital in the Sierra Norte region.

Upon arrival at the hospital, an officer from the police who had coordinated with Lawyer Cardenas immediately greeted them. Police officers drove them to the emergency room.

“Patients are undergoing surgery at the moment. The team of doctors had to hunt with time, to treat the injuries of Mr. Hernandez who had lost a lot of blood. This is a miracle, because he can still survive in such a very apprehensive condition," explained the police officer.

“Gosh,” sighs Paloma with an expression of disbelief.

“How is my son doing now? Is the condition severe?” tanya Rogelio riled.

“As far as the information obtained earlier, your son suffered a head injury and fractures in several places. However, until now, his condition is still fairly stable,” explained the police again.

“Yes, God." Half of Rogelio's soul seemed to float hearing the bad news. His body felt limp, to the point that Rogelio almost fell. Luckily, Paloma swiftly held her, then sat the middle-aged man in the waiting chair.

“What happened exactly? Why should Rafael be kidnapped and persecuted like that? Who did it?” liar Paloma who can no longer hide his baldness.

“Police are still looking into the case, Madam. We have to be patient until they have finished their investigation,”, Cardenas said.

“In the meantime, we can only conclude that whoever did it, they are aware of Mr. Rafael Hernandez's activities. They may have been watching your husband since the beginning of arriving in Spain,” explained the police. “But in fact, they can get the hotel address easily. They also waited for Mr Rafael Hernandez to arrive at the hotel, before ambushing and injuring him.”.

“The question now, who knows the arrival of Mr Rafael Hernandez to Spain besides you and Mr Rogelio?” thought Cardenas Lawyer. His voice looked very serious at that moment.

“It is certain that it is Tatiana Vidal, and ...” Paloma hesitated to continue his sentence.

“Who else, Mistress?” ask the curious policeman.

“Sebastian Cruz Castaneda,” Paloma replied slowly.
