Epilogue

"Our duty in the face of a true mystery is not

to clarify it, but to deepen it so much that we change it

into an even bigger mystery."

Lucian Blaga

I

D avid drops his pen on the floor. Tired, he is leaning on the file. An enormous weight tightens his shoulders bending him. It’s the hardest job he’s got to accomplish. He has been planning for at least a year to retire, but the prospect of a household life scares him. He’s going to risk it for the last time. He has to; this is the life he got used to: running, madness, existential chaos. He never started a family, and he doesn’t have a stable relationship with the woman he loves. He is an everlasting explorer, a seeker in the waters, mountains, valleys, tunnels, in all the innermost recesses of the earth.

The phone rouses him from his musing.

Good.

He turns off the mobile, and a sense of shame floods his entire body. He’s ashamed of Nick. He’s always helped David, and he almost never returns the favor. Why couldn’t David intervene when he was detained because of some nonsense caused by others? Why didn’t he help Nick when he was hospitalized, even though he had a doctor girlfriend? A tiring why is stirring up his mind.

He stands up fast, puts on a dark green shirt and dark pants, and quickly goes to the café. Outside it’s sunny, with a feeling of tranquility that he has always hated. He sees Nick sitting outside and looking through the café window.

Hey, I’m here. Stop looking inside.

I was looking for an intimate place where we could talk.

They enter the café and find a semi-obscure purple lit place on the right side. They sit down and order a large cup of coffee.

You look tired and upset, Nick says. What is bothering you?

Nick, I have an infernal case to solve. You came without a phone, I guess.

Get straight to the point.

I was hired for a very large sum, David says, by a rich and eccentric man.

All the rich are eccentric.

"Yes, but he was also an important man in the Intelligence Service, and
