Joe is curious about what Erika and the man who Joe thinks is a bit mentally retarded in Ensenada. Because Joe saw Erika crying as she pleased, after the story was finished like nothing, as if Erika's tears just dried up.
Joe took the phone and sent someone a tape. He also called someone.
"Submit a translation of that conversation in English immediately. I'll give you an hour. Otherwise I'll have my father shut down your business."
"You always ask fast. I'm busy knowing" replied the man across the street.
"soon! Hurry along!" Joe slammed his hp in bed.
He waited with a huff. Working time too. He's not calm. Jayden who knows it always keeps his distance, so he does not get scorned.
An hour before the night shift is over, Joe receives a message notification.
"I sent it to your email" read Joe.
He called Jayden to tell him there was no meeting over. All keys and calls are handed over on the morning shift. Joe hurried to his cabin. Open the laptop and plug in the headphones. It's too early he's back, Erika hasn't left the cabin. Of course, he also did not want Erika to know what she was doing. Joe closed the curtain bed.
"It turns out smart too,"Joe praised the person who had sent him the vidio. He made like a film with a foreign language and its translation. Joe.
The scene where Erika sits with a man in the port of Ensenada.
Erica: "My brother Mauricio. I'm glad to see you're okay."
Mauricio: "I'm always fine. I'm also happy to see you visiting Ensenada. I thought before your employment contract expired. You're not going home."
Erika: "I'll be home for a while. I miss you guys. I just met Mom, wanted to give her rent for the apartment.But she refused it, now I just give it to my sister."
Mauricio: "No, no need. My income is enough to pay for the apartment and also meet my daily needs. Keep your own money."
Erika: "So you also refuse this money just like mom?"
Mauricio: "It's not so. I just want you to keep your own money. For your future tomorrow. You are young and you still have hope. Our mother is old, so she doesn't have much hope. While me? People won't do it properly, because they say I'm a little idi*t."
Erika: "Of course you're not an idi*t. You're my brother and to me you're perfect. Are you afraid that man will take my money if I give it to you?"
Mauricio: "That guy? You mean dad?"
Erika: "I will not call her that and I will never call her name. Using his last name I won't either. We've changed our last name to follow my mother's name since my sister had the accident. So he's nobody to us brother."
Mauricio: "Alright. I won't call his name either. I didn't mean to refuse your money. Use it for yourself because your needs are also many. And your brother is not afraid of him. Look at my body bigger than her."
Erika: "But you once almost lost your life because of her. I'm afraid he'll do it again"
Mauricio: "That time maybe I was a little unlucky. But I actually survived to this day. And I promise that will never happen. I was just thinking about how that would never happen to me either."
Erika:"Yes, I saw there were still bruises on my mother's body. When did that actually happen.?"
Mauricio: "I was not home at the time. I'm at work. Until the house I saw my mother pass out in front of the room, with some bruises. I took him to doctor Del toro. The doctor suggested that I report to the police only, so that the man would be deterred. But mom forbade me. I can't blame the mother who still loves her Erika."
Mauricio: "At least now I just have to worry about mom. As for you, there's already a little cihuahua looking after you."
Erica: "Cihuahua? Ah he's just my boss"
Joe took off his headphone when the recording was complete. "Lacking-of-the-box. How dare he call me a cihuahua." Joe's inner. He opened his curtain bed, at the same time Erika came down from the top bed. Joe closed the screen of his laptop.
"Why see me like that?" Joe melotor saw Erika glaring also noticed herself like something was wrong.
"You suddenly closed your laptop when I got off. Are you looking at po**o?" Erika scoffed.
"If so, why? You want to join me and then we can practice it together" Joe blinked his eyes like a flirtatious om.
"Your brains are just obscene things," Erika suddenly turned red, never before had she talked about maturing to a person of the opposite sex. He ran to the bathroom and slammed the door.
Seeing Erika's behavior, Joe laughed loudly. "He's old enough, but still shy about talking about such things. A real plain girl."
Joe opened the bathroom door that didn't have a key.
"I was serious about what I said. Would you consider it?" Joe spoke with a serious face.
"Brengse*k did not know whether to use a toilet brush," Erika who was sitting in the closet and making a natural call was surprised, seeing the bathroom door open. He spontaneously throws a rollercoaster and then takes a toilet brush, about to throw it back but Joe closes the door.
"Ahahahaha." Joe's laughter exploded.
Outside the cabin door Martin heard a loud bang, and Joe's loud laughter. What happened so Joe could laugh like that? Martin hadn't heard Joe's laugh in a long time. Especially since the new case with his father. Joe is like closing himself up, moody and quick to anger. Is this because of Erika?
"Joe, it's me" Martin knocks on Joe's cabin. Not long after the cabin opened.
"Hi," said Joe cheerfully.
"What's wrong with you? Seems happy like that?"
"Ah no. And what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Joe distracts.
"I want to take you to breakfast."
"Tumbens. Did you ask me something?"
"No. I just wanted to take you to breakfast."
They walked along the hallway to the messenger staff on deck A. When going down they decided to go down from deck 1 to deck A on foot. Not so many staff there. Because it's still morning. So they can talk without being disturbed.
Of course no one underestimates Joe eating on the mess staff with the hotel director. On this ship Joe is sometimes underestimated by the staff because it thinks Joe is just an assistant housekeeping with bar 1. Low-ranking officer. While Martin is very flattered because he is a hotel director.
