The Series Of My Life - Season 1 - Episode 125

She had asked what it was and I told her that we needed to get as far away as possible from Lisbon.

I called Francis again, he said his immigration friend had not picked his calls. I decided to wait until 1pm before leaving Setubal. I had given the shadow chasers appointment by two 2pm. I could still buy sometime before they found out that I wasn’t in Porto.
I waited in my room as time crawled to 11:30, 11:40, 11:50. Each ten minutes brought me closer to danger.

At 12:30, I called Francis again. He said the man had answered his call but said they will meet by 1pm during the launch break.

There was a glimpse of hope. Jennifer had noticed my restlessness and had started panicking. I didn’t bother consoling her, I needed some assurance and soothing words too.

My mind drifted to what would happen if the Porto squad discovered that I had sent them on a goose chase. Madam Grace would definitely call Lisbon and tell them what I had done. The hunt party down in Lisbon would continue their look out for us. I would be vulnerable since I was in the open.

I knew I still had small time on my hand but I wanted to get out of Lisbon area as fast as I could. The city of Lisbon was no longer safe for me.

I knew Jose and Madam Grace would definitely meet each other in Golden Tulips Hotel in Porto. They would then ask the hotel receptionist about me. They would be told that there was no record of any Solomon there and they would figure out what happened. Jose was a clever young man. He would quickly knew that I wanted to do something in Lisbon and sent them out of the way. He may decide to partner with Madam Grace to go after their common enemy.

If I was lucky, they would fight each other in Porto but it was unlikely.

At exactly 1:30pm, my phone rang. I picked it without looking at the caller ID. I thought it was Francis but I was wrong.
” Where are you” the unmistakable voice of Jose boomed from the other end of the call.
” I told you 2pm” I said.
” I am already at the Hotel, what is your room number” he said.
” I will be down by 2pm” I said.
Another call had entered in my phone while talking with Jose. It was Madam Grace. I picked the call and asked if She had gotten to the Sao Bento station, she said she was in Front of the Hotel Golden Tulip. I asked her to go inside the Reception hall and wait for us. I knew Jose, Nuno and whoever they had with them were in the reception.

I told Madam Grace that I and Jennifer would come down soon.

I hung up and called Francis, he didn’t Pick the call. I tried again and no response.
That was it. I grabbed a bag and asked Jennifer to get the smaller one and follow me.
We were leaving Lisbon with or without Resident permit. My life was far more Important.
