7 Chapter 7: "The dolphin hour"

I got out of the caravan where Lucia and I were monitoring everything.

I couldn't believe what had happened. I ran to the seashore and when I got there I stopped. I felt like the sea was wetting my shoes. I kept trying to forget and try to fix what had happened at that moment.

Meanwhile, inside the bench, Emily and Liz were in shock, because Diego's eyes were full of crystals.

-He has eyes full of crystals -said Emily

- Oh God! - Liz yelled

- We have to operate on him or something very serious could happen to him - Emily said

They put him on a wheeled stretcher with blindfolds and rushed to the first aid room. John took out the medicine cabinet and gave a pair of tweezers to Liz, who removed the blindfold from Diego's eyes. The truth is that they were full of crystals. And then Liz began to remove the glasses from his eyes.

Meanwhile, after the shooting, William, Nick and Janeth handcuffed Gustavo and the governor's bodyguards near the hostages. Fortunately, they did not put forth strength when held back.

Minutes later, Lucia was still monitoring the whole situation, but unexpectedly, she also left the caravan, and she told me:

- Joseph, the police just arrived.

-Okay Lucia, we must move on to rescue Robert - I said

We returned to the caravan and continued to monitor the situation.

The police had not been long in reaching the bank. The colonel's name was Pietro. The elite commando leader was named Suarez. The colonel had tried to capture us since the previous robbery, but in the end they were luckily unsuccessful thanks to my brother.

- Let's set up the tent now! - Colonel Prieto said when he arrived at the scene

- All right, Colonel - said Angel - who was an important member of the police.

And he was Lucia's best friend, when she was part of the police force.

And yes, Lucia was the ex-inspector who was trying to capture us as well. But, I ended up falling in love with her, which was something I didn't plan on.

The first time I saw her it was in a cafeteria. She was blonde, very beautiful honestly, she was about 25 years old, and I was 27. I met her when her cell phone had run out of battery.

- One question, do you have a cell phone charger? - she asked the cafeteria salesman

- I don't have one - said the salesman

She got worried, until I told her:

- If it's important, you can use mine

It was the first sentence I said to her.

Then, like that, every day we talked more and more, until we fell in love. She already had a partner, but her ex-husband was cruel to her.

And it is for that reason that they got divorced.

What had happened to her if he was sad.

She also told me that when she was little, she had almost no friends to talk to. And that I was the best person she had ever met in her life.

But eventually, she managed to capture me. She had discovered me because, one day I was disguised as a clown, to a hospital to investigate if Angel had woken up after a car accident. I was a clown and with a stuffed rabbit with a small camera supposedly to encourage children with various diseases. And when I verified that he was not awake, I left calm, but a hair from the clown wig stayed in my daily outfit and with that little detail, in one of our appointments, Lucia discovered that I was The Professor.

That I was the leader of the robbery, but, after confessing that I loved her with all my heart and the reason why we did all that, she betrayed the police because she was not willing to work for people like them.

After the police had settled in the tent, Colonel Pietro had various pain and erectile dysfusion, due to the fact that he was never able to catch us in the previous robbery.

It is for this reason that another colonel supplanted him: Colonel Tamayo. He told him that he would impersonate him so that he could rest after the previous robbery.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pietro," he said, "I'll take care of this robbery, you go to rest." I'll call you in case I need information from you on important things.

Lucia and I returned to monitor the situation, and see if they could remove the glasses from Diego's eyes.

- Professor - said Emily - we managed to do it. But he's still blinded. He must stay like this, until he can open both eyes.

- Well - I told them - now we must go with the governor to the bottom of the bank and melt the iron door to be able to extract the gold and then melt it.

Emily would be in charge of the smelting of the 90 tons of gold that were inside the vault.

I must confess something to you, the plan was never mine. It belonged to my brother, who 5 years before this and the previous robbery, had devised a plan with Diego to carry out the robbery of the country's central bank. But since it was a very, very risky robbery, it had not been carried out.

- How are we going to get the gold out of the vault? - I asked him

- You see, little brother - he said to me - when we start to melt the door of the vault, it will flood. And this is why I called this phase of the plan "the dolphin hour", because we will bring several oxygen tanks to swim inside the chamber.
