Presentation Night.
I had put on the coveralls and a cap and driven the van to the side road to the left of the entrance of the college as they would see it walking out. The presentation was already under way and Maddy had already called me to say that Gomez wasn't there and she'd introduced my parents to Lucia and Sofia, she said she would call when they were leaving.
Twenty minutes later came the call, I watched and waited until I saw them hurrying towards me. I got out and opened the side door and hustled them inside and closed the door.
I got back into the cab and turned on a light in the back. I gave them a few seconds to get seated and slowly drove away in the opposite direction from the college.
I took a circuitous route to get out of town and a further detour to get to my house, I drove in and parked down by the hot tub, out of sight of the road. I got out and said 'Wait' while I walked back and locked the gate before unsetting the house alarm system. When I opened the door, Maddy led the elder woman to me, blindfolded.
"Hola Lucia" I said and held her hand as she came down the two steps to the ground and moved her forward a little, I think she was too nervous to answer.
"Hola Sofia, good evening" I said to the girl as Maddy guided her down the steps.
"Good evening Danno" she replied with a weak smile. We now led them into the house and down the secret corridor to what was Maddy's old room, which I had cleaned and replaced the linen and even had a delivery of flowers which sat in a plastic vase making the room smell sweet. I had bought a collection of English and Spanish magazines for them to read, but they had nothing else, not even a change of clothes but that could be sorted later, for now they were safe.
Maddy took the blindfolds off and we all looked at each other, Lucia, Sofia and Maddy were dressed up for the presentation so I removed my cap and coveralls.
"Please sit and I will explain what will happen for the next few days, Maddy would you bring some cold bottled water and some snacks from the kitchen and a pen and paper, please?" I asked, "Would you please interpret for your mother, Sofia?" She nodded.
"This is a safe house and at this time I want it to remain secret, Maddy and I have gone to great lengths to get you free from Gomez and The Baristas but you must never go back. You have met Konrad and Stella who will be your new employers, whom I will take you to in a few days when things have died down. I will monitor the situation in town to make sure it's safe to move you, meanwhile you will have to share this room and bed for maybe a week, I have done this once before haven't I Maddy?" I said as she came in nodding, with a tray of snacks and biscuits and six bottles of water and passed out four of them, while Sofia translated and her mother nodded.
"You will be locked in for the most part, the less you see the safer for all of us, okay?" I added, then continued "You can use the shower and toilet facilities in my office in the morning, in emergency there is a pot under the bed. I realise that you have no other clothes so Maddy will bring her laptop in here tomorrow and you can order some clothes to keep you going for now, meanwhile I will give you a couple of bathrobes." I gave Sofia the pen and pad and said,
"Can you write down your food likes and dislikes? Maddy will do most of the cooking so it will be good"
And we all smiled at that. I had been studying Lucia without staring, she was short, about five feet tall and about one ninety pounds, in her mid to late thirties. She stood up and walked up to me, stopped and looked up and said,
"Muchas gracias Senor, muchas gracias" and a lot more in Spanish that I didn't understand and stepped forward and hugged me. I was surprised but after a slight pause I hugged her too, then asked Sofia,
"What was the rest of what she said, it seemed to be quite a speech?"
"Ahh... Well she thanked you for rescuing us and that she will respect your need for secrecy..." Sofia blushed and looked embarrassed. Maddy whispered in my ear and said grinning,
"She offered herself to you as a thank you, a generous offer I think" she said with a smirk. I coughed and spluttered and went red myself, after a couple of moments I held out my hand and she slowly took it, looking nervous.
"Gracias Senora, I appreciate your offer but I am otherwise affiliated" I replied, released her hand, swung around and picked Maddy up and soundly kissed her.
"Ahh, I knew it, you two are an item, Maddy never said anything but I was sure there was a serious relationship going on with someone and guessed it might be you when I first met you, or I might have tried myself" cried Sofia, laughing.
"Sofia!" Cried a shocked Maddy but then continued, "Well it is a secret, now among friends but he's mine!"
"Okay, okay, I won't rock the boat, I appreciate what you have done for us and especially for me and I would not have lasted long with that gang.
I would have killed the leader in his bed and then have been raped and killed by the rest, end of story" Sofia answered seriously, "Maybe one day we can repay you but for now 'We owe you one'"
"All I ask is that you be loyal to my family" I said simply. Sofia translated and Lucia said 'Si.'
Maddy escorted them to the toilet and I fetched two spare bath robes, we took the dietary sheet and locked them in. The food list was simple enough, no allergies with the exception of no nuts for Sofia and as for the rest they would eat normal American food.
