Chapter Ten(4)
‘I’m sorry,’ Cecy murmured quietly, bending her head meekly.
She did not add that she walked out of the door because it seemed the only way, she could save herself. Now it seemed an entire fiasco, and Cecy was beginning to doubt whether she had the ability to do so. Maybe she should just have refused Lydia’s offer to bring her along, since she was just an annoying burden to the other two, no contribution at all.
‘Alberto, stop,’ Lydia said solemnly, and Alberto looked at her in surprise, as if surprised by her tone and the fact that she called his full name. ‘Let’s not blame each other on an incident, and besides it isn’t like you to be so angry. Who did you meet in the hotel?’
Alberto seemed to have admitted defeat instantly. His hostility reluctantly slackened its grip upon Cecy as he did so. ‘I know you have good instincts,’ He sighed, ‘Yes, I met someone whose talent I don’t know, and she’s the enemy.’ He tightened the knot and began to drag it towards the edge.

The bomb came to a stop at the very edge of the floor, one end of the rope bound onto it and the other gripped tightly by Alberto, whose gesture reminded Cecy ridiculously of walking the dog. Probably because of the now more peaceful atmosphere among the three of them, Cecy had to resist a laugh at the thought. One end of the rope was frayed, too, which added to the resemblance.
