Chapitre 63: Show time!
Alex PVs
After my conversation with Raymond Reddington, I kept working until I lost track of time.
When it got dark, Meg showed up to take me out of the lab and make the final preparations, as not everything went as I wanted, I couldn't fix the retrofitted fire truck, so we're going to use an ambulance as a means of transport for the gold.
Soon the clock struck 18:30 and everything was ready, so I got ready, called the girls and we went to the amphitheater, who is accompanying me is Taty, since it is Meg who will trigger the alarms and call the fire department, I am accompanying the team that will enter the old amphitheater, just before the show ends, so I can't let her accompany me so as not to draw attention to me.
Arriving at the amphitheater, I go straight to the entrance gate because I promised Raymond Reddington I would meet him here, a few minutes later, Raymond Reddington appeared with his iconic hat, accompanied by Kate and Dembe.
"Raymond! Kate, you look beautiful in that dress! Who's the big guy there?" I approach and stretch them both.
"Hello Alex, this is Dembe Zuma, my friend, and assistant." Raymond Reddington says.
"Boy, you have a silver tongue just like Ray, you're associating a lot with him!" Kaplan says with a smile.
"Oh it's Dembe, nice to meet you my name is Alexander but you can call me Alex, you're an amazing guy so if you want let's be friends! don't you agree Dembe, doesn't Kate look beautiful?"
"Hi Alex, I'd love to be your friend, Raymond speaks highly of you, and you're right, I've already told Kate she looks beautiful in that dress, and I say it again Kate, you look beautiful in that dress." Dembe shakes Alex's hands and says.
"Hahaha... It's good to see you all getting along, but we have to go get our seats." Raymond Reddington hugs Dembe and me.
"Of course. But before that, let me introduce my girlfriend, Tatiana Cortez, and Taty, these are Raymond Reddington, Dembe Zuma, and Kate Kaplan, my friends." I presented both sides.
"Hahaha... Today's youth is not lost! She is beautiful Alex congratulations! Hi young man I'm Raymond Reddington, but you can call me Red." Raymond says with a smile.
"What a beautiful lady Alex, you are a capable young man! Hello Dear, I'm Kate Kaplan but you can call me Kaplan or Mrs. Kaplan," says Kaplan.
"Hello Miss, I'm Dembe, nice to meet you!" Dembe greets with a smile.
"Hi, I'm Tatiana Cortez, but you can call me Tatiana, it's a pleasure to meet you." Taty greeted.
After exchanging pleasantries, we arrived at the VIP cabin, where we were greeted by a receptionist, who attended to us and guided us to our seats.
After we're seated, Raymond Reddington asks. "So Alex tell me more about what we're doing here?"
I looked at Raymond and said, "Sure, it's already happening, so it's okay to talk.
What do you know about an old Spanish ship called A Balada to do De Lá Cruz?"
Raymond's eyes widen and he says. "No! Don't tell me you found the ship?"
I saw Raymond Reddington's ration and asked. "You seem to know, what do you know about your accident?"
After the initial surprise, Raymond laughed and said. "You know I know this ship, after all, you said the name of an old acquaintance of mine, Robert Vesco!"
"Yes, indeed I knew that you have some knowledge of this particular ship, but what you may not know is that this ship never sank, as the Spanish government said at the time, the reality is that it was stolen by pirates!" I say with a smile.
"Oh, how do you know it didn't sink but was stolen?" Raymond asks curiously.
" Hahahahah... I spent ten years of my life researching the ship and possible scenarios for its disappearance, and little by little the pieces were falling into place, like the fact that in the month of the supposed shipwreck there was no storm or even rain that month, or the fact that in the same month the ship sank, the Pirate operating in these areas decided to leave the sea and hide! Invite you!" I tell Raymond with a smile.
Raymond, who overheard Alex's explanation, notices something and speaks. "Are you saying that all the ship's treasure is located here?"
"Hahahahah... Did you notice! Yes, it's all here, Raymond Reddington you're in the middle of a pirate treasure hunt!" I say with emotion.
"Hahaha... I love treasure hunting, as a boy, I always wanted to be a pirate! thanks, Alex for inviting me!" Raymond says smiling.
"Would you like to join me on this treasure hunt, or will you stay, you are also invited to join!"
"I accompany Raymond, Kate can you take Miss Tatiana home?" says Dembe.
"That's what I was going to suggest, this pirate treasure hunt and boy stuff! Thanks for inviting us, Alex!" says Kate.
"No problem! thanks for taking care of Taty!" I thank Kaplan
"Well, it's all settled, who is the pirate who stole De La Cruz?"
"Hahaha... It was a guy named Hidolgo the 'Terrible', looks like they intercepted him off the coast of Hawaii, brought him to New Orleans, and hid him in opera star Judith Snell's dressing room just a few days after Hidolgo left for 'New Orleans', where she hid her treasure in this amphitheater that caught fire, several people died, including our beautiful Judith Snell, and the treasure is in her dressing room to this day! This part is my theory, based on information I've collected over the years. Years old!" I say with a smile.
"Looks like you studied everything better than Robert Vesco, the old man has been looking for this treasure his whole life! If you find it before him, I have to throw it in his face! Or rather, in the grave!" Raymond says with a vengeful smile.
"I can't believe you think old Robert Vesco is dead!"
"Uh, isn't it?"
"Of course not! If the treasure is here, I'll take a picture of us and send it to him, or maybe you want to tell the story of how you found the treasure before he did!" I play.
"Hahaha... Wait! Do you know where he is? It's a good idea!"
"Alex, it's the time!" Taty beside me calls me.
"Well, it's showtime! Let's do it!"
We left the VIP area quickly, Kate took Taty away and we went to a no-go area where security tried to stop us.
"Hey! this is a no-go area, please go to the other side!" Security says.
"Sorry my friend, but I'm looking for the bathroom, I was told it was on this side!" I approached the security guard, before he thought about answering me, I already punched him in the throat and he passed out. "Quick, it's this way! Get down!!"
We went down to the amphitheater basement and met up with Frankie and Nez, along with two more of my colleagues. "So girls, how is the situation?"
Frankie, seeing me, smiles and says. "It's all set, we're waiting for the right moment, and this wall is going to hell!"
"Excellent! Exactly... 5 minutes left, let's confirm that everything is ok!" I say calling my associates who are in the ambulance.
Four minutes later, I speak. "Nez, it's time, to take a walk!"
"Excellent! Here I come!!" Nez smiles and hits the stopwatch button.
Bang...
A minute later, along with the applause, there was a small explosion, the basement wall collapsed revealing the dressing room of the former amphitheater and with that everyone was amazed at the incredible scene before them.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Andrew Pollux you bastard, you narrowly escaped!" I laughed heartily.
"Alex, what are we going to do now, we didn't expect this!" says Nez in amazement.
"Alex, you never cease to amaze me, you got everything right except the treasure part! We're not just seeing gold and silver! This place is full of diamonds! Nor have I ever seen so many in one place!" Raymond comments in wonder.
"Alex, you're not so lucky! Who knew your childhood dream would come true?" says Frankie beaming.
"Hahahahahahaha... Nez! Follow the plan, call Meg and tell her to start phase two! And the rest of you, get everyone together, and let's take some pictures!" I say approaching the treasure.
Everyone joined me and we took several pictures in different poses, and I granted a secret wish of mine that only 'Scrooge's Uncle' could understand, I took a picture lying in the gold and jewels.
After we had fun, Meg arrived with the ambulance, and we loaded all the treasure into the ambulance, which was so full that we had to call another one, luckily I've lived in New Orleans for many years and had a lot of influence on the city, and it wasn't much difficult to get an ambulance.
"Hahahahaha Meg, when is the diamond price these days?" I ask as I watch Meg get into the last full ambulance.
"Hmm...According to the current market price, 0.25 carat is $1,000. But it could be more expensive depending on the quality of the jewelry." Meg responds professionally, ready to leave.
"Excellent! Go, Meg, don't forget to weigh everything separately! and choose a piece of jewelry for you and the girls.
So Raymond, what did you think of the photos? Do you want the old man's address or shall I send the pictures?" I asked Raymond Reddington with a smile as we climbed into the car Dembe brought.
" Hahahahah... Leave it to me, I'll show him the pictures in person! What are you going to do now, I know some people who deal with gold, jewelry, and other things if you want I can give you his number, just say so who knows me and he will give you a fair price." Raymond says still smiling.
"Well then, I appreciate it! By the way, I forgot to give you the toys you asked for!" I commented with a mischievous smile.
"It's true! I'm getting old, I'll accompany you there then!" Raimundo smiles.
"No need! Dembe, do you have Ray's cell?"
"Yes it is here." says dembe.
"Give it to me! Are that two Chips?"
" Yea." Raymond Reddington says.
"Alright, wait a few seconds." As soon as I got my hands on the phone, I completely dismantled the device in a matter of seconds it was reassembled but now had a signal scrambler and a tracking chip.
"Here it is, I put in a signal scrambler.
No one will track your cell phone, but the bad thing is that no one can track your cell phone by signal, if you need your cell phone tracked it won't happen!" I explain the situation to Raymond Reddington.
"Thanks, Alex, I had a great time today, wait for me, I'll invite you to have fun one of these days, as a way of giving back", says Raymond and hugs me.
This surprised me, but I returned the hug and said. "I thought we were friends, but you talk like you owe me something. It seems you don't take our friendship with sincerity!"
"Of course I do, but I'm kind of embarrassed since you took me camping, and now on a pirate treasure hunt, but I didn't do anything for you, I don't seem to take our friendship seriously so I'll plan something nice and I invite you!" Raymond speaks with a warm smile.
"Hahaha, it's true! It's your fault! Dembe can you drop me off at this address?" I ask handing Dembe a paper.
"Sure Alex, no problem!" Dembe accepts with a smile.
" Thanks!" I answer.
"What are you going to do now Alex, I heard you yelling a little Andrew Pollux, are you the Swiss arms dealer?" Raymond asks curiously.
"Yes, he is!" Me speaking honestly.
"I think you should get a better dealer, this guy is hopeless trash." Raymond Reddington advises.
" Hahaha... So I guess I'll be the garbage man this week!
