Chapter 12

Shortly after, on Montcada Street bar, Laura tells Enric about her visit to the commissioner.

"… and when they leave Fargas, I followed the young inspector he had been discussing with. Now, this whole thing is very clear to me".

"Yes, but who told you that man? Tell me!.."

Enric feels a little scared. Your friend seems to be very safe and does not understand why.

"He said something about Maribel's body, police found a gold button. You know how much?"

Laura was silent for a moment and look at the eyes of Enric. Want to see which side gets. The boy seems not to understand.

"But," continued Laura, "Fargas says that's not important ..."

"As it is not important? "asks the young man, surprised.

"Of course it is," she said. "But he says no, because maybe you want to help someone. Do you not see? Maybe his nephew has a jacket with gold buttons ..."

"But all of that, you can imagine, but do not know".

"Ya. But soon we will know if it's true".

"Laura, I can not believe it ..."

"No? Well, then explain to me: Why the commissioner has been arresting José and has forgotten the button? He has also forgotten that Julio is left handed. It's a bit strange, is not it?"

Enric nods yes with his head. He thinks that having a jacket with gold buttons is not so rare. But it is not normal that the commissioner ..."

"Look," continued Laura, leaves him no time to think, "it is time to do something. For me, the murderer is Julio".

She read a bit of fear in the eyes of her friend. She smiled before telling her plan.

"Certainly, we should be safe. To do this, we have to see whether Julio has a jacket with gold buttons. And if it has a missing button, of course. My idea is this: I call Julio and stay with him. Meanwhile, you walk into his house and looking in his room".

"And if there is someone in the house?"

"How hard you make everything, Enric! Do not worry so much. At the moment, think that there will be nobody, and now this".

Laura gets up. Enric also decided at last.

"Well," she says "then I'll call Julio. And you, be careful, okay?"

Before leaving, Enric approaches Laura and gives her a kiss.

"Good luck, Enric. And please, call me immediately ..."

Chapter 1

An exhibition in an old ship, port of Barcelona ... If you think that is interesting, Enric. And open until twelve o'clock! Better yet.

The boy calmly walks in front of the tables. When one likes, cuts out for a better look. Not interested in people who are around. But in a moment, then lifts his head and see it. He wears a white blouse. It is neither high nor low, her hair and beautiful gray eyes. Seems to go alone and that she also loves the pictures. What is this beautiful girl! - thinks Enric. But a group of people passing in front of him and look again when the girl is not blonde. No time to look eyes: Albert, an old friend, what is healthy.

"Hello, Enric!, how are you? " he says.

"Okay. And you, Albert?"

"Very well, too. Nice pictures, eh?"

"Yes, very nice".

"Ah, you know Laura?"

Laura was behind Albert. Is the girl in the white blouse!

"Hello, " says the young woman in a cheerful voice.

"Hi, Laura!" answers Enric fun too.

"Laura is a friend of work. We have found now, "says Albert.

Albert is tired and has two small children. It's almost eleven and must return home now. Enric loves the idea of ​​ending the visit alone with Laura ... In addition to beautiful, very nice, making jokes about everything. And she knows a lot about pictures. Enric is delighted. But Laura is already watching the clock.

Well, she says, "we go? I do not want to get me home".

"Where do you live?" asks Enric.

"In the bitter streets, a small street between Avenida Portal de l'Angel and the Via Laietana, near Palau de la Musica, "replies the girl, with eyes on the black waters of the port, moving in silence in front of ship.

The sea is calm. It is night. The port and salt smells fishy. The city seems to be asleep in the soft moonlight.

"I live nearby. I'm going with you, "says Enrico.

Enrico and Laura walk up slowly through the Ramblas. The street lights are on. Near the Royal Plaza, a police car passes very slowly. On the terraces of the bars, there are many people sitting, chatting calmly sipping their drinks little by little, and also look at the people walking by.

The two young men arrive at the small shops of flowers and animals that, at this hour, are closed ... At the end of the Ramblas, pick the right path of Santa Anna. No one. The bars are closed. Only through the windows of some hotels get a little light.

Suddenly, Enric stands at the entrance of a very small, dark street. Look around garbage cans that are there. Sees something strange, something green, there among the trash. It's a shoe. He looks closer. And cannot believe it: inside the shoe is a foot and on the foot ... ... leg. There is a dead girl behind the bins! Poor Enric cannot speak, just watching, scared. Laura, who has not seen anything, laughs.

"But, boy, that's wrong? What are you doing?"

As Enric does not answer or move, Laura is comes over. Then goes to the dead girl.

Enric! It's horrible, "she shouts. "This girl, this girl .... It's Maribel!"
