Marcos was anxious.
After having shown the images to his superiors and waiting for them to make decisions, he was ordered to keep watch over the Alcalá Orange Grove estate and in turn, the man he had seen with the drone in Peña Village. At the time, Marcos didn’t know, with his Caserío research he discovered Francisco Peña was the same man he captured in the image. What the site owner did to him.
He thoroughly investigated the Caserío and did not come up with anything in particular because, apparently, the estate passed to the next generation as an inheritance. He didn’t find any photographic record of Francisco’s ancestors. None.
Which made him suspect there was something wrong.
He finished tying up the loose ends when he discovered the man and his ancestors had little contact with his employees and the outside world.
He wondered why all the estate owners behaved the same way. He was tempted to ask some questions in the social circles around him but was afraid to raise suspicion that would alert the immortal. Surely he would disappear again.
He was sure if he asked Francisco Peña's employees, to describe their boss, none would know how to respond as a result of man not allowing himself to be seen because he hid something. He hid from them, of course.
Which brought Marcos to despair. He wanted to let his murderous instincts dominate and go looking for the immortal, in order to squeeze the immortality formula out of him in such a way to make him pay for his crimes.
At last, he could see his dreams and those of his predecessors in the Secret Society being fulfilled.
They would have eternal life and power forever.
He smiled wickedly.
He watched Caserío Peña with caution. Little flew over the property whereas not to raise suspicion.
The surveillance had to be very discreet both there and at the Alcalá Orange Grove estate. They came to the conclusion it was a matter of time before both brothers were united again and with that, they could kidnap the mortal again to manipulate the immortal.
It was the best plan they had so far considering Francisco had no family or anyone else he cared about. His brother was the best card they had.
Marcos felt like skipping the rules but he had to obey orders if not, the punishment would be very painful.
He had to wait until the entire elite society arrived. Then surprise Francisco at home, subdue him, and take him to the dungeon prepared especially for him. And finally go after his brother.
He couldn’t confront Francisco with the warriors in the city at the moment. The immortal would destroy them all. No. He had to be patient and wait.
He took a deep breath and shifted the drone’s control he kept at Caserío Peña’s entrance.
He would fly over the area briefly and then return to the main doors as he did every day hoping he would have the opportunity to see Francisco leave the property. Then he would send a couple of warriors to watch him more closely.
That would bring him closer to his chance of apprehending him, regardless of skipping the rules.
