CHAPTER 14

BERNARDO WENT TO THE Catedral da Sé to see if he discovered anything interesting. His strength was field research, he knew how to interact with people like nobody else, he discovered details where not even renowned professionals in criminology could find out.

He asked some people about what happened, and each person had a different version of the facts. It was every story without a head or a head that he was hearing, he even heard from a beggar who had been an extraterrestrial who had killed the poor professor "Chairs", he had even threatened him with death if he told someone, of course Bernardo said that he did not I would say nothing about that.

After a few wasted hours, he realized he was going to get nowhere with that and decided to call Camila and see if he had managed to discover something more interesting.

He took out his cell phone and dialed the number, didn't even ring twice and she answered it enthusiastically.

–– Did you discover anything? – Said Bernardo.

"It depends on what you want to know... I am still organizing part of my research, but I have discovered very interesting things."

–– Type...

"About Nazism, as you said, the knife is closely linked to the German party, but it goes much further, the results are staggering, it almost borders on insanity..."

–– As well?

"I think it is better to meet, over the phone it is difficult to show you everything I discovered, and the worst of all, is that I got only the tip of the iceberg, this goes far beyond what we imagine".

Bernardo hung up and was thoughtful.

Camila was doing much better than he imagined, he admitted that at the beginning he was being a little prejudiced.

She was too beautiful to be so competent that way...

Really her beauty was bothering him too much...

Always bothered...

From the first day he avoided her.

The memories of his wife were still alive in his mind, looking at his daughter was the same as looking at his wife, but doubt ripped through him.

Should he leave the past and build a future with someone else?

Every time he looked at Camila, he knew the answer.

BERNARDO SAT while waiting for Camila at the place they agreed on the phone.

Five minutes later she arrives.

At that particular moment, he realized how beautiful Camila was and that she had a very seductive way of being and speaking, not that it left him on all fours for a woman, but in her case in particular, he called her attention a lot, she perspired seduction, from time to time he found himself mesmerized while looking at her.

As much as time had passed and the wound over his wife's death had healed, Bernardo still did not feel ready to invest in a new relationship at that moment, he still loved his late wife, Beatriz, too much.

CAMILA FELT THE TARGET of his thoughts.

Camila asked:

–– Are you alright? Something happened?

Her voice was so seductive that it immediately woke him out of his trance.

–– Ah! Hi, Camila, I was lost in some thoughts, I'm sorry, can you talk, what did you discover?

–– Sure, but... – she hesitated for a moment, trying to be worried – does something worry you? Otherwise, we can do it later, there is no problem on my part, I know there are important things to work out with your daughter and everything.

–– No... – he anticipated – stay calm, I was just thinking of some nonsense to kill time, nothing worries me at the moment, quite the contrary, I am even happy that you are here, it is good to work with someone after so long .

–– Okay then.
