surprised to observe the tense and haggard face of the agent.
- Marvin, something happens?
- Need to talk to her husband, is urgent.
- It's ten o'clock at night, I guess you can wait until tomorrow, right?
Marvin did not respond. He pushed away the Edwards woman's hand of the door and suddenly broke into the house without a word. He found Edwards dining in the living room.
- What the hell are you doing here? - Were his first words -
Marvin did not respons e him. Inste ad he grabbed Edwards by the neck, forcing him to rise. He shook him without giving him time to defend and then put him against the wall, while his woman screamed and picke d up the phone at the same time intending to call the police.
- Tell her not to. I'm a desperate man, Edwards, I'm not going stop at anything or anyone. I'm ready for anythi ng, telling everyone what you’ve done with the report, or rather, with the reports.
- Sarah, wait a minute, don't call - he told his wife - then addressed to Marvin - It's your word against mine. You're a lowlife that will only worse his situation.
- I don’t care at all what could happen to me, my only concern is Susan.
- Your wife? What has happened?
- Do not be cynical! She has been kidnapped. If you changed the reports it's because you has something to do with it.
- It is false! And believe me I'm sorry, how was it?
- I've gone home, she has been taken and left a message. And thinking that you - He pressed Edwards's throat so much until the point that he could barely breathe - has always maintained that this case was an absurd nonsense! Tell me, where is Susan?
- No ... I didn't know ... I swear ... by the more you want ... release and talk ... - told between sounds that were more onomatopoeic than human -
Marvin relaxed a little and released him, Edwards put his hand to his throat, then replied.
- Let's be civilized. You could spend years in jail and begging for the rest of your life, you're aware of it, right?
- Totally. But the only thing that matters now to me is to rescue Susan, not the price I have to pay.
- I assure you I don't know anything about it. I realize that maybe ... I precipitated straying you of the case, but that does not justify your attitude.
- So why did you change the report, why? .... What has got this case so you have come so far? What? ...
- You're accusing, Marvin, I advise you not follow that way.
- I wish I had another. For your sake and mine I hope nothing happens to her.
- If, as you insinuate, I had any interest in all this, I would have retired you of the case long before. Remember, I could have to do it.
- It's possible you have underestimated us.
- Listen, I really feel sorry about your wife, so ... let's say I'm going to forgive your rage and forget this incident. It will be between you and me. Regarding Susan, I would wish to know something.
Marvin simply glanced him an expressive look, which were implicit hatred, contempt and pain and left slamming the door without saying a word.
When Marvin told his partner what happened, Hanson, after encourage him, reproached him that he had not called him for helping because he had staked his career threatening Edwards driven by his emotions. None of them understood the modus operandi of their boss. They knew too well the ill will that he had against them since he had taken charge of the department, but changing his report had gone too far, risking his neck. It was also true that he had had the opportunity to withdraw them of the case and had finally decided to give them a try. But it was just as he was expecting to see them slip t o disqualify them. But, when th ey presented the report, could have realized that they had reached in their investigation further than he thought, and decided to remove them and give them a big switch to his superiors. But if he had taken such a risky decision it had to be because someone was behind it, no sense that he would have moved
