La Casa de Papel (Palermo) // Translation

15. the bells

The day went normal but the thing between the hostages and their people. The hostages realized that the Dali's were weak and tries to fight against them with Arturo as the leader. Palermo and Velez were watching everything and realized that Velez and Gandia could get free while Rio is watching cause he is the weakest. Velez just sat there thinking as Rio entered the room with his gun in his hands. This was the last chance for Velez to get free without beeing in pain.

"Rio" Velez called and Palermo looked at her. Rio turns around.

"Do you need something?" Rio asks.

"Water" she answered and Rio walked away to get water.

"What are you doing?" Palermo whispered.

"Everything so that I don't have to disengage my joint" she whispered and Palermo said something that she couldn't understand. Rio came and gave her some water. She drank some water and then Rio closed the bottle. "Hey" she said and Rio looks at her. "Let me go, please" she begged him quiet. "Look how they tied me up" she said. "Do you think that I should sit here? Tied up and get food like a animal?" Velez asks with tears in her eyes while Palermo watched her. Rio started to tear up and took deep breaths. "Please Rio" she begged him again. "I don't deserve that" she said. Rio looked her in the eyes and Palermo waits for him to say something.

"I'm sorry, I can't. Forgive me" he said and stood up.

"Why can't you do that?" she asks and stopped him from walking away.

"Tokyo told me. She said you and Palermo were a couple and you got crazy."

"Why should she think something like that?" she asks. "Palermo" Velez began and looks at him. "Are we a couple?" Rio waits for his reaction.

"No, I don't know anything abou that" he said.

"Did we kiss?" she asks.

"Maybe" he answered and Velez looks at him angry. Rio looks confused. "No, we didn't. We've didn't done anything" he lied and looks at Rio. "What do you think I do at a rob. I have better things to do as you and Tokyo."

"Really?" Rio asks and thinks about something. "Denver said he heard you, as.."

"Denver is an asshole" Palermo interrupted him. "Let her go, please. She did nothing wrong" he begged. Rio looks at Velez with an sad expression.

"I'm sorry I can't" he said and goes away.

"Rio!" Velez screamed after him but he ignored her. Velez would like to kill him at the moment.

"You have to do it" he said.

"No" she said. "I won't go away. Gandia should go. There is no difference if I come free or not."

"There is a difference" he told her. "Then when you are free, you'll call the professor and you will tell him that they tied me up like a dog. He would let me free and I'm the leader again. We both can be the leaders" he said and Velez sighs. Palermo looked at Gandia. "Good, you know what to do" he whispered. "Don't be scared." Gandia sighs. "You too" Palermo said to Velez.

"I'm scared" she replied.

Palermo sighs and turns to Gandia again. "Now or never" he said and Velez watched him. Gandia took a deep breath before he does. He tried not to scream. Rio turns around and watched them but Gandia still sat there like nothing happened. Rio does what he've done before and Palermo turns to Velez. "Do it" he said.

"I can't" she said.

"Yes you can. It will hurt just for a short moment" he said. "Do it!" he said cause they don't have time. Velez took a deep breathe before she does. A quiet small came out but Palermo cought so that no one would notice. "Calm down" he said. "Now go." Velez looks at Rio to make sure he don't paid attention. She got out of the handcuffs and stood up to run upstairs. She tries to run up the stairs but she couldn't really think cause of the pain. Rio heard them and turns around with his gun on her.

"Hey!" he screamed and Velez stopped at the end of the stairs. She pressed her finger and tries not to think about the pain. "Turn around!" he screamed but Velez didn't listen. "Velez!" he screamed but Velez dropped to the ground. Rio looked at her and don't know what to do now. Palermo got scared.

"Velez, run!" he screamed while Gandia waits that he can go too. "Velez!" She tood up with her hands in the air.

"You won't hurt me!" Velez said. She starts walking upstairs and tears ran down her cheek cause of the pain.

"Come back or I'll shoot you" Rio screamed.

"No you won't" she said while walking upstairs. Now Gandia came too.

"Hey!" Gandia screamed and Rio turns around.

"Stop or I'll kill you!" Rio screamed and starts crying. Velez turns around and looks at Palermo who begged her to run away. Velez just wanted to break down and cry in pain. Gandia goes upstairs behind Velez. When Velez wanted to run away, Denver shoot near her head.

"Come back Velez!" Denver screamed and Velez starts running while she tries not to get shot by Denver. Then Denver and Helsinki starts shooting on Gandia. "You're an asshole Rio" Denver screamed at Rio.

"I couldn't do anything" Rio replied while crying.

"Two ran away! Two!" Denver screamed. "Why didn't you shoot?!" he asks.

"Denver!" Palermo screamed. "Let me go ', now." Denver goes to Palermo.

"Are you kidding me?"

"The dangerous man in this house is free. He will kill everyone of us. Let me go." Denver thinked about it. "Let me go. Velez is out there alone and without a gun" he screamed.

Velez ran into the room where the radio was. But as she entered she could see Nairobi laying there. Velez stopped and Nairobi is surprised.

"Niña" Nairobi said happy and hugged her. "Ouch!" she said and Velez let go of her.

"Sorry" Velez said. "Are yu okay?" she asks.

"Yes!" Nairobi replied. "Aren't you tied up?" she asks but as Velez wanted to answer her question Nairobi realized her hurt finger. "What happened to you?" she asks.

"I discolated my finger" she said.

"Why?" she asks.

"Palermo told me so I could get out of my handcuffs" she replied and looking in the first aid kit.

"What a jackass" she said. Suddenly someone stood behind Velez but before she or Nairobi could react she got knocked on the head with a gun. She didn't really passed out.

Her head hurt and she couldn't really move it. She looked at Nairobi who laid on the bed with a pillow on her head which Gandia pressed against her. Velez stood up and grabbed a bottle and smashed it against his head.

"Nairobi!" Denver screamed as he entered the room. Gandia left through a other door. Denver and Palermo looked through the room to see Gandia but he was gone. Velez dropped to the ground but this time she passed out.

"Velez!" Palermo screamed but Denver stopped him.

"No" he said and reminded him that he still was a prisoner.

"Gandia got away" Nairobi said. Palermo looked at Velez and then to Denver and begged him to help her.
