"Pronto... signor Pelleriti?.... Sono Tosi"
"Buongiorno Tosi... mi dica"
"La sento serena. L'ultima volta l'avevo lasciata con un aria un po' atterrita... e invece oggi la ritrovo... energica".
"Sì è vero! E' che ho riflettuto meglio. E..."
"E' che la cifra è interessante, vero? Che cosa intende fare con 150 mila euro?"
"Sto pensando ad un viaggio... oppure ad aprire una trattoria in riva ad un lago..."
"Bah... il lago. E a chi parla alla sera? Al lago? No, no... una persona come me... con una curiosità così eccellente... deve continuare a vivere in città. Lakeside I would die. But if you are good there ... "
" Yes I like it for many things is like living near the sea ... only that there are no waves or curls. But why care so much? "
" Who knows? Maybe one day I will come to dine in a lake ... feel ... the stone is always safe ... right? "
" Yes it is safe. Indeed ... waiting for some news of her day ... So what? "
" So things are going to end well, and as I had already announced we will exchange the 29. On the day of arrival and the five directors.
"Therefore, What should I do? "
" We should go and wait at the airport at 11.50 am, the arrival of the flight from Bari, Italy and from there comes our contact. "
" How can confess? "
"He will acknowledge it, do not worry. Then the airport will take him somewhere for lunch and then, as we have said, will accompany him around the city ... to 18 is expected to begin the press conference. For the time will have already done everything. You will not have to know anything about Mr. Piero, who will receive his share in due course. We say no more than a week later. It will be on the same day So ... also simply pay our bills. "
" I understood everything, does not seem to be very complicated task. "
" No, not ... I think it does not happen ever again to earn so much money in one day. You know, I think it was kissed by luck ... in a sense. I want to say that if all goes smoothly, we could even think of working together again later. The organization needs staff on the square in Torino. "
" We'll see ... or this, or the Inn on the Lake ... a difficult choice "
" I see who is in a good mood ... still pass me by Wednesday or Thursday, that I have to deliver the small precaution which I had spoken. "
A bucket of cold water ... it was time, started the countdown. Until that point I had removed the transmitter of thought. ... But he had to go so it came almost stage and before the fateful day, I had to go through a bit 'of the desert.
"For me it would be better Thursday, perhaps in the afternoon. Or Friday? "
I was trying to gain more time, I suddenly felt that I had time to do it all. But this thought was like a blanket short, because if I gain a few hours, he would then lost Paul, would have less time to study the device. But he tended to calm down about this, saying that he had in mind the different solutions.
"No, I will not be in town Friday ... Thursday ... to do 17."
"Okay ... I'll see you Thursday in his office."
phoned first to Martina, who would not return before Tuesday from his beloved Sardinia, and then I met the others. With Paul it was all agreed we'd meet Thursday night Ambrosio, the show at 20.30. By Andrea Teo and we agreed on a way to stay in touch, since the latter part of the plan, one that concerned them, would be determined only after that Paul had discovered the best way to off the detector. MI accordai with Pilar who was the person that more time would be exposed to risks. Its part to play would last hours, but I am confident of his great talent as an actress. I mean could you or us or any of us would feel and if the plan would never have done. I handed her a new cell phone, consigliatomi by Paul, and bought a few days earlier on e-bay. In this way was unexpected and could also have spin, as we would be served, some footage of good quality, easily. And she was also one of us who would make the trip.
By Silvia explained that it would have found, however, the surest way to ensure that il nostro "cliente" al momento decisivo, non si fosse accorto di nulla. E per essere sicuri di questo, lei avrebbe dovuto studiare un sistema per fare in modo che guardasse da un'altra parte.
Meticolosamente Bea aveva portato avanti il lavoro di allestimento della nostra "stanza delle trappole" e intanto, ogni sera, indossava tuta e scarpe da ginnastica e usciva dal portone attivando il proprio cronometro da polso, come usa fare ogni persona che si dedica al Jogging.
Quando venne il martedì i particolari da sistemare erano rimasti molto pochi. Martina aveva trovato alcuni camici bianchi e aveva raccolto una scatolone di creme, provette, oli e fragranze. Aveva trovato anche alcuni oggetti d'arredo: vasi, ciotole che aveva riempito con candele and two orchids and a dozen carries incense. The room was ready, the location of the inside guy, that Paul was upstairs and there he, as well as to follow the direction of the games, he also found time to connect the speakers of the lower deck to his computer, personally choosing the play list that would have composed the soundtrack of our "perfect shot".
was still missing one thing: we did not find a chair or a bed that could do the job, and got to that point the weather really starts to tighten.
When by chance I heard someone mention, as usual, an opinion not so nice rare the aroma of coffee Silvia, I was the lighting: I recently had pointed out that he bought a new kitchen cabinet from Ikea. It was a plan a bit 'high, but sturdy and had the shelves under the countertop where we could put towels or whatever. I thought it would be perfect with a coating.
"You're a fool," said Martina
"I agree with her - Silvia said - and then if it breaks you repay me, because it is new. You can not do with something else ..."
"But it is just that - Martina added yet - because it seems very sturdy and could probably govern, but impossible to make it as comfortable as a couch or a chaise longue. Everyone realizes, if she lies on a table or on a bed ... "
"Tell me how do you then?"
... two hours later, despite the darkness had already fallen, five people, three men and two women, they passed the entrance to the synagogue with a kitchen console, the line "Norden" Ikea ... the police did not say anything. The five came to the junction with Via Goito there and turned left.
At that point we had little time to make a bed, we used the foam and fixing legammo with rope and then, all lined with an old sheet, secured with hot glue. After two hours, well beyond midnight, we finished building our prototype. The result: a kitchen cabinet with a bulge at the top.
"It will be credible?" I asked ... but no mi rispose. Silvia intanto aveva la testa fra le mani.
"Speriamo che non pesi 130 chili il tipo" mi disse sorridendo Paolo.
"Per ora lasciamo così e andiamo a dormire, se ci viene in mente qualcosa di meglio lo faremo, o meglio lo farete voi - dissi -, intanto ci vediamo giovedì Paolone, ok?"
"Ok a giovedì sera. Dovrebbe essere tutto a posto per ora. Da quando avrai il dispositivo inizierà, l'ultima fase"
Eravamo oramai tutti dentro questo funambolico e pirotecnico progetto. Ci mancava il gran finale, ma non passarono molti giorni perché il mosaico diventasse completo...
Nell'ufficio Tosi of the light was low, it was almost eighteen and I waited in the hallway doing what they say in the "hall". Filtered through the glass door just a little 'yellow light, it seemed that he was reading in Tosi, by the light of a lamp shade.
The phone rang the secretary, she replied with a quick yes and he turned his eyes toward me. He put the phone down and start writing again, without even looking at me said, "Now he can go, Mr. Tosi is waiting."
"Good evening ... sit down," Tosi said, turning his back and will continue to look into the monitor of your computer for a few seconds.
Then he turned and looked me in the face ... I tend to look down.
He smiled ... "So we're almost there ... it's tight?"
"No Dr. Tosi is not a difficult task. I have already asked permission for the 29 and I informed Mr. Piero on the day of the exchange and would arrive within a week also play its part. I need to know more?
"No, just that at some point she will take over the bag and then, like I said before, it will decide our contact. And now it's time to take the transmitter.
The apparatus was of triangular shape, no larger than four centimeters. With a flashing LED on the top. I took it and put it in my pocket.
"Tell me who is our contact and how to acknowledge him. Or how he will recognize me? "
" It is very sharp. We say that even if she is going to take ... It will be the contact with her .. "
Yeah, I had just given the transmitter, then the contact is sufficient to observe with a handheld probably, or with a laptop. Just as he had claimed from the minute Paul." But .. . - I said - that the advance is a foreigner ... and which comes from the east. "
Tosi did not remember exactly what was written in the mail that was sent to me awkwardly. My choice was limited: either American or Japanese. ... And if they came from the east were definitely Japanese. Certainly in those days that were just passed, could have intervened other collectors, perhaps the Arabs, or Indians, Chinese or Russian or simply ...
"I need a translator?" I asked again.
"No, fluent in Italian, because he lived for many years to Bari What do you think, we thought that there would in the case? Pelleriti Now go, we will meet again on 29 to 18. And when you bring me a suitcase. .. can be considered rich. "
I left that office with this little device that weighed a ton. I went to get a drink by himself, beginning an activity that would accompany me in the days to follow, that is expected to pass the time. At eight twenty I was already out of the cinema. I turned off the phone. Martina came and we parted maintaining a bit of 'detachment. Then came even Paul and Bea, but we did not pretend to know.
entered and sat at a distance, just before the movie started I got up and reached the bathroom. Paul followed me. In the bathroom there was none. I showed him the device.
"Perfect, that is, I've never seen, but the brand is famous. The two photos on her cell phone do tomorrow night and let you know something already."
we enjoy the last film. From that evening I went to sleep in my old home, sadly greeted Martina and left to its thousands of jobs that still waited in the week. It was a difficult time, and 29 were still missing eight days and I had already cut off contacts with the others. The world became muffled. I was hoping that they all proceed in the right way. By day I continued my life as if nothing had happened and every night ... came into contact with them.
Teo, who had for years been a duplication of the keys, entered the palace every night of Milan barrier and left a floppy in the mailbox. At ten o'clock I went down and pick up the file in which I was informed the report of the preparations. Then in the morning, before eight o'clock, Teo returned and withdrew the same floppy. In the first letter, Paul told me to be able to buy on e-bay ten pairs of transmitters, which are identical to mine. A pair because it is a model of detector that includes a twin, an opposite. I mean if my detector was the male, the one inside your suitcase would have been female. It was invented in this way, allows for a single location (a computer or a PDA) to control, at the same time, the position of two objects. It was however a common device, manufactured in Thailand. Paul wrote that I had to figure out if mine was the "male" or "female" of the couple, so I said that I should have closer to him again, so that detecting the signal would have identified. I replied by suggesting a simple way and without the need for a direct meeting.
The next day I went back to San Salvario but this time I put chess in the lobby of the association in Turin, asking for detailed information on the commencement of basic courses, athletic activity, the premiums of the tournaments. I stayed for at least forty minutes into the INPUT. Paolo, meanwhile, sat inside his car, parked outside with his laptop on his knees, takes a few seconds. My signal was A, the male then the female was in the bag.
He needs two days to tell me what you all expected for some time. The ultimate answer.
"After hammering, throwing against the wall, attempts to burn it or dismantle it - I wrote - I found the solution faster and easier to cancel the signal booster. I threw one of the copies that I bought in the outlet of process ... and the signal disappeared in four seconds. Then I threw another one in a bowl, and then one in a tank and a final in a glass. The result was simple: the signal is always missing from 2 to 5 seconds at the most ... water. I have left some women and I'm sure that if my idea of \u200b\u200bturning over this situation for us, is indeed feasible ... "
interrupted the reading of the uploaded file to the floppy, led by the gardener at their destination that night. That's the last piece ... the water from the beginning "wet" the birth of this crazy dream. serve water and an escape and one able to take that way out ... and above all a way as not to risk others.
The final was therefore a film already seen ...
