17. A maze without exits
Some things where troublesome, and finding her
way to that damned city was one of them. Forgetting what happened to Martin was
another. Because every time she tried to forget it, the terrible event just
came back to her. Whether it was karma, a divine punishment or simply a bad
joke, that she didn't know.
Sam was only certain of something: maybe if she
found the city the office worker had talked about, she could find Julia. But
not even tourism maps, not even the Internet, where able to take her easily and
smoothly to the lost village which could be found at some point along the
coast. It had been the first time she had spent so much money in gasoline during
a road travel.
That was a bad thing. The frustration and helplessness
she had felt also were, and the sensation of walking through a maze without
exits another. Good things, only one: the relief and satisfaction of finding
the place after a week of torture.
It had happened while asking for directions,
when she had already lost all hope. Sitting all alone in a bar, staring desolately
into a glass of beer, expecting to find all the answers she needed in the
yellowish reflection. That was when a told, sober man, in his fifties,
approached her with a comforting smile.
'Excuse me, young lady, I can't help but feel
you're having some trouble.' Samantha jumped slightly, gazing at him, surprised
by his kind observation. 'Are you lost? Do you need any help?'
His offering was somehow out of the blue, and
despite his patient stand she felt uneasy, yet she didn't understand why. And,
after all, she needed that help.
Probably he didn't even know, so... What bad could it do? Therefore, she asked
for the directions of the village the employee had talked about.
'Oh, that!' He chuckled, and it was a calming
sound. As if everything were going to be alright. 'I understand now. It's an
old place, and really few people know how to reach it. Actually, it is pretty
simple. You just have to make a turn at a small road some miles south this city.
Some bushes cover it partially, so maybe you don't see it at the beginning. A
few minutes later you will find yourself on a bigger motorway. There won't be
many vehicles, so I'm sure you will arrive soon enough.'
When he stopped talking, he looked at her with
discreet expectation. Knowing what she was about to ask. The woman didn't
disappoint him. Gasping and babbling, she wondered: 'How did you know? Who are
you?'
The man's smile widened. 'Let's say I'm a man
who has some job at the city you're searching. Nothing more, and nothing less.
Well, young lady, I hope you haven't got any problems finding it now. If you
don't have any more questions, I guess I'm going. I've got some work to do.'
Turning around, he walked to the door and disappeared quietly. By the time Sam stood up and followed him, he was already nowhere to be seen.
