Chapter 16.

¿Why not…?

If you want something and you want it, just go for the man… don't think you're too old to be having sexual fantasies with young boys, if you like the boy go for him, there was some optimism in the words Derek said.

Maybe he should listen to him, but if he acted on his crazy friend’s advice, he would be proving that people with low self-esteem often become stalkers, and he wasn’t a stalker; or if he was, he didn’t feel like he had low self-esteem, not at this point in his life, but if he wanted to be honest with himself, he could do it when he was tired, because that’s the only time our mind becomes more honest, not because he’s sleeping, but because he manages to see things as they really are, so either he could work on getting the guy alone…

 Or he could use his whole environment to his advantage as a team and win together without them realizing it; This way he wouldn't be competing, but proving to himself that in a children's game anyone can win, because the twists are always unexpected, they are never clear, they always vary...

Derek had gone to look for Dominic because his boss had sent him to look for him... She needed him to settle some accounts with several people who wanted to see his face, she didn't know exactly if it was some kind of sexist double standard that had happened or if it was directly an act of homophobia, because although it was true that her boss had a sex change when she was very young, some features continued to be feminine...

Maybe it was her eyes or her pompous lips, but she couldn't completely eliminate the woman inside her; and some supposed colleagues had tried to go a little further, they had exceeded the limits that she had established, and that's why she needed Dominic to give them a little scare.

Something that would remind them that they shouldn't fuck up Dominic's patience and someone who isn't bothering anyone... or at least doesn't want to be bothered, so when Dominic came down from the room and put his boots back on he knew that the gun on his waist would be for dinner tonight; or that at least he would start giving some small bites as a main warning.

Later he would see what to do exactly with the detective who was staying at the house of the pretty brown-haired boy, for now he had to give his best as he was used to doing, only then would he have enough time to dedicate himself to other activities he had in mind.

He wondered how long it would take Officer Santiago to endure a perforation; or maybe multiple of them… He had slept too well in the place that was not supposed to be used by anyone, since the boy was already marked as his property and he wasn't even aware of it, however, as they drove along very calmly, they both stopped to have a beer on the way before meeting the boss, who upon seeing them couldn't help but sketch a sinister smile on her side…
