The Goddess of Don Pablo
Chapter 34: A Sneaker
The sky slowly darkened. The night sign has arrived. The sound of the forest beetle was clearly heard breaking the silence of the night. The distinctive smell of pine leaves, oak and various trees around makes the cold wind that blows from the ventilation holes feel cool.
Maybe because in the forest, make the moist air from the soil covered with thick trees that high makes the wind blow quite cold. Until without the need for AC, cool air can be felt at night.
Samantha opened a can of peas and mushrooms. He made a delicious creamy soup for family dinner. The four of them: Samantha, Simon, Emily and Fransisca were sitting at a very large dining table.
"Pa, what's tomorrow's event for us ? We're gonna step up ?" ask Emily excitedly.
" Hmm ..you want to swim Frans ?" ask the father for his youngest daughter.
"Well .I'll go swimming if Emily goes swimming too." Frans replied in support of her brother. My father just smiled at him hearing that.
"alright...Tomorrow you swim and I'll go fishing...Looks like it'll be good if you eat fresh grilled fish for lunch tomorrow ?" father said to his two daughters in a seductive tone.
"Of course.hmm..yummy.." said Emily and Frans along with the three laughs afterwards.
"Mama, of course come with us, not tomorrow ?" ask Emily then to her mother who just heard and smiled to see her three precious treasures were chatting. The mother just smiled nodding her head.

The weather was clear enough for fishing. A fishing rod and a medium-sized bucket were ready to be held in Simon's hand. Emily carried a small bag of towels and clothes instead and Fransiska. Frans as usual carried Bunchy in his arms. Samantha is ready with a medium-sized backpack carrying some equipment that may be needed later. Not forgetting a small camera.
They walked down a naturally formed path.. Maybe because people have been passing through so often. High trees and moist soil give rise to cool air even though the sun has fully risen.
Far enough down to reach the river Rheinsen. about 1 hour they walked finally heard the sound of water gurgling. It is clearly a clear river of rocky. It looks visible to the eyes. Surrounding it is so beautiful surrounded by pine forest. Simon, the father is looking for a good spot in his opinion for fishing.
Samantha rolled out the mat she was carrying. Emily and Frans seemed to be having fun. They put the bag on the mat and immediately ran with the shirt and shorts they were wearing.
"Emiliy..Frans, don't go too far to play ?!" samantha cried when she just rolled out a mat looking for a flat and rocky area, when Emily threw her padlock bag.
"Kziiiapp....Mom.." cried Emily and Frans together. They each carried small plastic bags in their hands. Emily and Frans love to collect shells or colorful rocks that they think have an attractive appearance.
"Em..my pockets are almost full.ayo we are back...Mom says don't go far.." Frans reminded.
"Hum...well.ayo we've done it.." Emily replied to her sister.
They ran back to Samantha, who was sitting on a mat. A medium bushel has been filled with forest berries that grow wild around the river.
Samantha had plucked and washed from the river water and was clear. The taste is sweet and fresh from the fruit. Around the forest in this area a lot of forest Berry fruit trees grow. The fruit can be eaten. As if they do not know the season they grow very fertile and dense. Maybe the good soil and light conditions make it grow so fertile.
Emily and Frans are enjoying a wild berry picked by Samantha. Emily who saw the father was sitting on a rock with a fishing rod in the hand approaching. His father gave a sign to send his son to be silent. Emily also stepped so slowly like a person who was sneaking around. He saw in the clear pond a fish large enough to eat bait in the fishing line of the father. The fish slowly swam closer and...
"Can...!!" the father shouted excitedly. Emily who saw coming jumping around cheerfully. A fish of dark color and large enough size wriggling around the tail that was stuck in his mouth. Simon let go and put in the bucket of water that he was carrying.
They look very happy. Emily saw the big fish seemed unable to move freely in a bucket that looked cramped to her.
Emily threw her feet into the river water as high as her stomach. He swam near his father. Around it he could see several small fish swimming under his feet. Emily tried to poke with her two small hands. But of course the fish are far used to swimming nimbly in the clear river Rheinsen. Until they can escape from Emily's pursuit. Simon, the father, just laughed at his son's behavior.
"Em.you must use a net to catch him...They are much smarter than you".." said the father to his oldest daughter who looked soaked. Frans who saw from a distance, because he saw Em swimming, he ran barefoot approaching the father. Her body is shorter a few inches from Em, making the river water appear taller than Emily. Fortunately the Rhinsen is a calm river like a lake without ripples. Simon the father did not escape monitoring his two daughters. Which has now been drenched by the river water. They looked carefree while laughing at the water play.

Far away at Villa Monsieur there, a thin man in a skull cap was busy fiddling with the car Simon was driving. He knew the family was coming here. Even this was part of his plan. He had lured this family to go on vacation to this villa.
This skinny guy is fiddling with the master and brake pads on this car. It was open to mechanics, but this man once worked in a workshop. He understood the intricacies of the work of a motor vehicle of various types.
Beres!! said the man smiling with satisfaction. His hands looked dirty, wiping the sweat around his forehead. He has more than enough time to do all his work. He knows where this family is going. He had installed several small surveillance cameras in the luxury Villa before the arrival of the Simon family. How did this man get into it ? Of course it's very easy. He has arranged everything. He knew Manuella was the servant who looked after and took care of this villa. It is easy for him to trick a Manuella so that he can enter and install surveillance cameras in several points or areas. He got a hidden spot on the wall near the lamp. From there, he could see all over the kitchen and could hear the conversation they were having at the dinner table.
