Charles stood up and watched as the building on the TV screen, which had just been shaped like a bird with wings outstretched, suddenly collapsed and the huge dust made the whole building instantly unreadable….
“No, it won’t…”
The image shakes violently, the cameraman can be heard screaming in horror and the next second the video cuts out and there is nothing left in the image….
“The building collapsed?”
Carlos gasped and shook his head hard, he must have been dreaming, his girl was in the video last night timidly telling him “Carlos I miss you so much”, that she had bought him a present and that she would be back today after the program, how could this horrible thing happen all of a sudden.
Carlos’s arms and legs kept shaking….
“No, no, I can’t be scared, Micaela is waiting for me!”
Carlos didn’t allow himself to waste a second and rushed to the outer room, pushing the door with a voice as cold and stern as ever.
-Diego, have a helicopter fly to Catyblaca Nation and assemble 10 of the best search and rescue teams, now!
Diego, who had not seen such a somber expression and cold air emanating from Carlos in a long time, dared not delay at all and quickly deployed, Catyblaca Nation, where Miss Micaela had gone, a search and rescue team….
What was going on here?
The first helicopter was ready and Carlos got on and left immediately, he didn’t want to waste a minute and didn’t dare to think about it, forcing himself not to think about anything, not to think, just to get there first, the girl was waiting for him….
The phone in his pocket rang, he took it out and saw that it was the number he had saved from Tomas’ wedding, Antonio’s number.
-To get to Nation Catyblaca go to the top floor of the Grupo Aguayo building.
And then he hung up the phone.
The helicopter took off and Diego, after quickly deploying the people behind him, climbed aboard and sat down next to Carlos, to sort things out, when he saw the latest news, the breaking news, that there had been a terrorist attack in Nation Catyblaca and that the place attacked was the same place where Miss Micaela had gone to the catwalk!
Carlos radiated little atmospheric pressure, his head rested on the back of his chair back, slightly tilted upwards, his eyes closed, his fists clenched tightly, his chest heaving, from time to time the sound of his deep breaths could be heard….
Diego knew that Carlos was nervous, so nervous that he is constantly adjusting his mind….
Carlos, who had always been a strategist and didn’t care about anything, had a weak spot, and he was in that building, dead or alive….
Diego’s eyes were red-rimmed and he wanted to say something to him, but he didn’t know what to say. His boss was always calm and controlled, whatever he thought of, his boss must have thought of it too, he could only pray, pray that Miss Micaela would be safe….
A few hours later, the plane landed slowly and Diego quickly contacted the search and rescue authorities in this country to find out if any of those rescued were Anlandana models. The result was that there were none…..
Carlos frowned, took a deep breath and stepped off the plane.
The premises were half collapsed, the perimeter had been cordoned off, the scene was in a terrible state, many people had gathered, the injured were being carried out on stretchers, there was screaming and wailing, the Catyblaca Nation authorities had launched a small search and rescue operation, a group of Catyblaca Nation executives were standing on the perimeter, gesticulating with a map….
Carlos looked at the rubble, he forced himself not to panic, he looked around and saw a man in the group of suits with a map, muttering something, he walked over and took the map from him, the man tried to protest, the search and rescue team following Carlos quickly moved forward, separated the men and surrounded Carlos…. …
Ignoring the comments of the others, he looked carefully at the map, then raised his eyes to quickly judge the location, handed it back to the man and raised his hand.
-Come with me.
Carlos turned and led the way in a set direction, the search and rescue team he had brought with him immediately followed Carlos….
The senior officers looked at the imposing Carlos and were overwhelmed by his convincing air pressure. They half realized that he was attempting to enter the collapsed area and hurried to follow him.
Carlos lifted the cordon to enter when the security guards standing by rushed to stop him, shouting in English.
-Sir, you cannot enter, there has been an explosion here, I am not sure if there are any bombs left inside that have not exploded, please get out quickly!
Explosion…
Carlos’ heart ached and he raised his hand to push him away.
-Get out of the way!
A couple of senior officers who had followed him also said anxiously.
-Sir, please cooperate with our search and rescue to avoid unnecessary casualties, we must have cleared the area of any residual bombs causing secondary explosions before we can go any deeper….
Family members who had come to search the site and were guarding the perimeter rushed in crying.
-Let’s go in and look, how long do we have to wait for them to clear the area like this?
-The longer we wait, the more damage we cause!
-Let’s start an extensive search and rescue immediately, let’s not wait any longer…..
Several law enforcement officers rushed at Carlos and tried to push him away. Carlos turned angrily, his deep-set eyes lacking the slightest warmth, he scanned the circle and fixed his gaze on the man leading the group, stepped forward and delivered a strong punch that knocked him straight down.
The scene was chaos…
Many journalists who had come to cover the scene had already gathered around and were filming the scene.
Carlos said in a cold English voice:
-Either you initiate a search and rescue now, or, get the hell out of here!
With that, he took the lead inside and everyone followed him without concern.
The professional life detection team immediately went to work, Carlos frowned at the terrain, judged the location of the dressing room backstage, looked around and had an answer in his mind and raised his hand and ordered.
-That way first!
The man with the detector on his back immediately obeyed the order and the detector made a dripping sound and said excitedly.
-Mr. Aguayo, there are many signs of life here!
Diego said enthusiastically to immediately take care of an excavator….
-No!” Carlos shouted to stop him.
He had noticed by looking at the map, the building had two floors, the locker room was on the first floor, collapsed downwards, digging with an excavator could easily cause a secondary collapse, his little girl was inside and he couldn’t let another accident happen.
-No bulldozers, use other equipment!
Diego understood and immediately set about making preparations.
The big pieces of concrete reinforcement were lifted with a crane, the smaller ones, with a shovel, even by hand, and Carlos, along with the entire search and rescue team, sweated and dug, looking for a breakthrough….
“Micaela, my Micaela, nothing must happen to you, I will find you, hold on…”
-Chief, take a little rest with us, we will….
-No, I want to take my girl out myself!
