CHAPTER 3
SO .. YES ... I'M AFRAID
Maria was a young student, went to school in his senior year of high school, graduated in six months, now as many believe, that their world is a chaos, like any teenager, well the truth of adults do not accept it, but too many like-minded.
holidays will soon be half of the year, it is normal that his friends made a party, or rumba as it is called, will be fun, is what I always thought, there is no reason to anticipate problems, there is no reason to remember what has past.
six months ago, a group of her friends took her to a nightclub, on the outskirts of the site, there was a murder appeared no witnesses, no one knew anything, even the girls who were nearby, denied having seen anything. Has been so long since that you better forget it. It was just an unfortunate incident. What is the likelihood that happen again?, It is not.
"Sara said Jorge Luis, on the phone-so holiday-
anger" No, I do not know but one of the girls, and not that I have not seen recently, I have to study well-Exciting-
, What about that obsession with superheroes? -
"It's not an obsession, I do not even watch television, but this in many newspapers, not only in" El Universal ", the tabloid, say they have masked individual seen, call the Guardian Masked must be a kind of wrestling-
Luis laughs "Okay, rest-
- Is it time to go out and get drunk? - she asks
" Yes, of course, "replies Later
sarcastically all the lights in the House of Jorge Luis were out, he went out quietly.
Maria, had argued with his parents when he got home, called for freedom, and was great to stay out late, of course, not to work and help at home, but was great when I wanted to leave . Maria came to the house of his friend where the party took place, were her friends, had a lot of noise, it was the weekend, but many people who must work or school the next day, neighbors of the party and took the first problem that came.
Police arrived after a while, even seeing the excitement and participation of children late at night just asked them to lower the noise, which they did for a moment, while later was business as usual, to unidentified party arrived, but no matter, they were young they were looking for some fun, the volume went up, many were drunk, others smoked, and some began to get high, amid the repetitive sound of contemporary music, Maria saw a subject could not stop looking, there was nothing wrong, only made him known, the man noticed the look of the girl, also recognized the music was very hard.
A hooded man, apparently a neighbor broke a window
- will not you shut up! -
was raised a stir among the revelers and several neighbors, the police came again, many of the kids out running from the house, Maria was also normal frightened, these things happen, they say.
Maria was quick single, she thought he looked older, there was no problem really, it ran on, was too big to be scared by nonsense, paused a moment, it was too late, perhaps serious mejor tomar un taxi, o mejor buscar si se puede quedar en la casa de una amiga;
-Entonces se acuerda-
Un hombre le habló, ella lo miró, el sujeto de la fiesta, no lo conocía, pero lo habia visto antes, no sabía donde, este hombre la tomó duro por el brazo y la llevó hacia una calle pequeña, mientras le decía:
-Lastima que no tenemos tiempo para gozar-
El hombre la tiro contra un muro y sacó un arma, ahora ella recordó; de repente había alguien mas allí, Maria solo vio a un sujeto enmascarado de negro, que logró derribar a su atacante, ella huyó, ambos hombres se enfrentaron, cuando el enmascarado, derribo a su enemigo sintió el golpe de un palo en su leg pain was such that it lay, the first man stood up and seek your weapon, which he said the masked man, this look back I hit a strong subject,
"Then there is the masked guard-
" It's just a kind, "said the armed man who ran the saw us at the club for six months,
That man was pointing to the named guardian mask, now that guardian, he saw that all was not so easy, and there was something inside it had ceased to feel, deep down a siren sounded, really scared the masked guard, got up and knocked the gun was pointing, then climbed to a roof, the police caught offenders, were close after the party.
Maria was in a corner scared, did not know which direction to take;
- Could it be that you do not have a reason to live tomorrow? - Said a voice
She sought and a roof was the kind of black
"I do not I have
fault, "answered" Sure, are you underage? -
"Yes, but the cops ruined everything-
" I believe, if the party had stopped at the time, nothing happened, what do outside?, why do you chase? -
-I saw-
-The disco-
six months ago, killed a man, but we are scared, we were afraid to speak-
"It's your decision, can go tomorrow, just to carry a gun, "You should not leave
-
" Not now, not six months ago, that's my opinion, is a dangerous world, go home and try to sleep, that's my opinion
Maria got home, I go thinking he was mistaken in his supposed rebellion, should speak for her sake and that of others, their parents and authorities, for their sake and that of his conscience is not known will happen, but today Maria understood that his mental chaos, freedom and desire for fun, are not more important than your life and your future.
No one could listen to Jorge Luis enter your home, I go as fast as he could, as it allowed her leg; the pain was much, slept in his bed, he had helped some people, it considered that also helped mentally, was called Masked Guardian, a name he did not like, sounded long and graceful, he remembered the weapon could kill However, a few weeks ago was not afraid to die, in fact I wished at times, but to help others feel good, that mask to scare the bad, and allowed him to lead a normal life wanted to live, and tonight I was afraid.
