Chapter 4: A miracle and a broken relationship

Synopsis: Lucas tries to comfort the Professor after the supposed loss of his wife. Meanwhile, with no one to help save her, Liz tries to save Emily's life on her own. Meanwhile, Lucia arrives at the police tent, and Javiera will try to negotiate with her. And Arturo, a former hostage, decides to end William and Alice's relationship.

- Did you breathe good fresh air? - Lucas asked me

I nodded my head to him, because I couldn't speak at the time because of what had happened before.

- Breathing is a relief sometimes - Lucas said, and then he started the car, and we continued on our way.

As great as the pain was, we could not lose sight of one thing. Our lives depended on what happened 48 meters below the ground. The plan had a very simple rule: either we took out that gold, or we were all dead. Whatever happened upstairs, the gold had to come out. Whatever happened upstairs, the gold had to come out.

In the tent, Martinez informed Tamayo about the video call we were making with the Pakistani surgeon:

- Colonel, there is an increase in the flow of electromagnetic signals entering and leaving the bank - Martinez told him.

- Martinez, in clear terms, please - Tamayo told him

- They are communicating with the outside

At the bank, the gang was still operating Emily:

- The lower part of the lung must be removed - said the Pakistani surgeon - there is a risk of infection and necrosis, it can cost life

- How are we going to cut a part of the lung? asked Robert

- Do you have an electric scalpel?

- Yes - Liz replied

- I'd say it's a videoconference - Martinez informed Tamayo

- We can see it? - Tamayo asked

- The signal is encrypted - Martinez said - I would say it goes to a Kazakh satellite. You will travel the deep web, but it is impossible to be sure

- Well, let's take it - Tamayo ordered

- Come on, there is no time to lose - said the surgeon - listen and follow my instruction firmly. We move slowly, ok?

- Ok - Liz said

- Colonel, if the satellite belonged to a US telephone company, we would request that they inhibit it ... - Martinez said

- Don't tell me what we can't do - Tamayo interrupted - I told you to cut their call

- If we cut a blood vessel, we stop it with a scalpel, and close it with a Kocher clamp - said the surgeon

- Got it - Liz said

- All the signals in the area should be inhibited - Martinez said - knock down the internet and anything that goes by satellite

- As in Egypt in 2011, do it - Tamayo ordered

- We are going to make the first incision, see the lingula? - said the Pakistani surgeon

- What's that? - asked Liz

-It's the bottom of ....- said the surgeon, but the policemen made a dirty move, that he cut the call with the Pakistani surgeon

- Hey! Don't fuck with me - said Robert scared

- What's happening? - asked Liz

- There is no return signal - said Robert

- What? - asked Liz

- It can not be, it does not go, they have knocked it all down

- What do we do? - asked Liz

- Low blood pressure - said the governor - we are going to lose her

- No, no, damn it! - Liz said aloud

Liz: "There are always happy days to remember, and the more fucked up you are, the happier the days of the past seem. As I waited for a miracle and heard Emily's constants beep, I was reminding myself of those days."

It was at that moment that Liz, scared and worried about what she could do to Emily, decided to operate on her just like that. She was going to play it, but a small mistake would be fatal for Emily, because she would lose her life.

- Carefully - the governor said as Liz began to perform the last operation to save, or in the worst case, end Emily's suffering - slowly, higher. You're doing it right. Now remove the bullet. Do it.

It was at that moment that Liz took a deep breath, and extracted the bullet from Emily's body.

- That's it - said the governor - well, careful, that's it.

Finally, Liz extracted the piece of lung that had to be extracted, and in that way, they managed to save Emily.

While all this was happening, Lucía was being transferred in a police van, and so that the protesters who were on our side outside the bank would not recognize her, they forced her to put on a police suit, with a helmet, and including a ski mask. .

When she got to the tent, everyone looked at her with displeasure, because she had betrayed them, and also, they believed that she had already been executed by Suarez.

She advanced slowly, until she was face to face with Javiera, and then, Javiera said:

- You can believe it? I pregnant - she said - who was going to say, eh?

- Congratulations - Lucia said

- Thank you - Javiera said

Meanwhile, at the bank, things still weren't going quite right.

Because to cure Emily we needed A negative blood, and we looked for hostages who had A negative blood in common to get some and save Emily.

Well, so you can understand this ... in the previous robbery, there was a hostage named Arturo, who was the head of the country's Mint and Banknote House ... but, I must confess that Arturo was with Alicia before William was with her. What happened is that Alicia was pregnant in those years, but Arturo did not give importance to that, nor did he even care about her. It was there when my brother, Matias, who was the leader of the previous robbery, ordered William to kill Alicia, well, she had taken a cell phone that we had in one of the factory rooms, and called for a few seconds to the policeman. Then William went to another room with Alicia, and although he should kill her, he did not, because he felt sorry for her. It was then that to fool my brother, he shot him in the leg, since there were no arteries or something important, and my brother thought that, for all the blood there, William had obeyed. But days later he was surprised that he was still there. So the case stayed there. And another day, when Arturo threatened to shoot William in the head, if the hostages were not let out, it was Alicia who saved William, hitting Arturo with a large wooden board in the neck. And it was there that they ended up falling in love. But that relationship would not last long.

Well, going back to the present, when we needed that blood, Arturo raised his hand saying that he also had A negative blood. But the following actually happened:

- William - Arturo said

- That? asked William

- Thank you - said Arturo

- Because? asked William

- I wanted to enter here just to tell you - Arturo said to him in a low voice so that Alicia, who was organizing the blood bags, would not hear - I know that you and I have not started on the right foot. But in the end, the important thing is that you have raised my son. Thanks.

- What are you saying jerk? - asked William

- I know that with your age and all that money, surely changing diapers was not in your plans, because you have to be very man, to take care of a child that was born from the sperm of another man.

- Look, sucker from the fair - said William - shut up and don't heat me up. You can eat fist until the Three Kings day.

- Is not. It is not A negative. Arturo's is A positive - said Alicia, who managed to find the difference between the blood of the other hostages, and Arturo's - Arturo, what have you done? What have you done It was a coincidence, we could have killed Emily

- Sorry - said Arturo, although he didn't mean it sincerely - Sorry, I was wrong. Really, it wasn't on purpose. I know I am from group A but I did not know if it was negative or positive. Those things are not used on a daily basis. Forgive me.

- You don't know what's going on, do you? - William told him

It was then that William lifted him out of his seat, grabbed him by the red overalls, and hit him on the chest.

- What do you do? - Alice asked him

- What do I do? - William told Alicie

- What do you do? We do not know if he has been confused - Alicia explained.

Arthur coughed, and Alice said to William:

- Help him for God's sake!

- Get up, get up. Nothing happens to him. Get up! -said William as he helped Arturo up

- You can't go beating people like that, dammit - Alice told him - they have enough to be held here

-Well, he's done, nothing has happened to him, I'm sorry-said William

- Nothing happens - said Arturo - Besides, I know why you are so angry

- Because? - asked William

- I understand - said Arturo - Alice has told you about the bathroom, right?

- What bathroom? - asked William, and then asked Alice from afar - What bathroom? What bathroom does this man say?

- I apologize - said Arturo - Forgive me for God. I don't know what went through my head. I hadn't seen her for so long or had her close to her ... I don't know, I misinterpreted the signs. Also, she told me that we would meet to meet my boy. One thing led to another and I jumped.

- He jumped at what? asked William. "What did he jump into?"

- William, nothing happened - Alice told him

- Were you going to meet this guy to teach our son? - William asked Alice

- I mess. She said he was her father. He was excited, what do I know - Alice told him

-Yeah, but what did he jump to? I'm not finding out well - William told Alice

- She's not to blame, it's only mine - said Arturo - We hugged, I got excited, I squeezed her ...

- Shut up! - William said angrily

- Is it true that this guy rubbed you hard? - William asked Alice

- I separated the second with the gun, William - Alice said - I defended myself William

- So it's true - said William

Then William, overcome with anger, went straight to Arturo, and then hit him in the face. Arturo was on the floor, and then William lunged at him, and he hit him 12 more in the face.

- Stop, William! - Alice shouted - Stop, you're going to kill him, William! Stop!

- Aaaagggghh!! William yelled angrily, with blood splatters on his face, when Alice managed to separate him from Arturo

Alice was scared, and she said sobbing and terrified to William:

- What the hell is this? What the hell do you have inside? That rage ... that violence ... you shot a hostage, and now those punches. Like crazy. Can not. I don't know what trauma you have. I don't know what trauma you have or where it comes from, but I can't, William. I can not and I do not want to. I don't want ... I don't want my son ... to feel that irrational violence that you have inside. I do not want.

It was there that Alice and William's relationship ended.

If you allow me give you some advice: never fall in love in a robbery. It brings bad luck.
