"But you didn't come here for a fishing trip ..." Jack finishes putting the last fish in the bag. Responds:
"No ... Of course, not." It undoes the smile. Turning her face to Mallborn and looking at him. Malborn advances:
"Wolves?"
"Humrum (smiles uneasily, moving his head) was easy, right?"
"Let's take the fish for Márika Lyira to prepare for lunch! At home, we talk. What do you think?..."
"No Malborn ... I'm not going to stay for lunch. I promised Judy that would be back before noon."
"Ah !. I understand. Then ..."
"Here it is perfect ..." The distant look at the reflections of the sun in the water currents ... To be continued:
"I am worried about Judy, or better, with the family!"
"She received a gift ..."
"A gift?! Since yesterday I have been hearing this! This is not an answer!" He gets up impatiently, running his hands through his hair, dropping his feather headdress ... Turning his back
11:30 am City of Uvalde... Downtown. People are up and down walking along the sidewalks, crossing streets, and in the main square children play and gentlemen play chess. Others are just sitting on benches smoking a cigarette with distant eyes, while others are debating a bit about the local baseball team, and if not, politics or the nuclear crisis. A black 1950 Dodge, very dusty, stops with one of those "bald" tires on the sidewalk of the square... A policeman who is always on guard in a public place, is attentive and sees the driver's indifferent attitude. He takes a notepad out of his pocket and makes a notification: "Your license plate is already in my head, Ted" Thinking the man of the law walking, up to the offender's vehicle ... He takes off his truncheon and, next to the car, hits the tire: "Tóim! Tóim!" "Going up on the sidewalk again!" "Ah! Thanks for letting me know! I'll take it off right now, you guard!" While maneuv
..."Do we kill the wolves and ... Any more details?" Ted looking at the road, turns around with raised eyebrows smiling embarrassingly, reveals:"Wolves must be alive.""What ?! (dismay in the face) Alive ?!""IT'S. Very alive.""It started to get weird ... And how are we going to catch ten wolves alive ?!""I don't know (moves his chin) ...""But for five hundred we can find a way!""That's why I came after you!" (Happy)"First we find a Wolf Pack ...""This can leave me, I am good at 'finding' things." (laugh)"Right! I know you use your trick that I already know about everything else ... We are going to need a couple of hunters. We ask them to use tranquilizers ... We will need some cages ...""I already ordered ...""Chains and some padlocks ...""You can let me take care of that tomorrow."...A few kilometers from there. Already at 16:00 ...Jack gathers the
... The phone rings: "TRÍÍMMM!", "TRÍÍMMM" ... "Uvalde Police ..." Attends Jane Preston" Well, Madam (listening) ... Stay where you are, I will send a car (hearing a breathless voice) ... Okay, okay. Umhum! (listening attentively and writing) ... Near the entrance to Rancho Makenze (voice continues) ... I'm going to start an ambulance (still listening) ... hamham ... stay calm! (hears hang-up sound) ... "You didn't tell me your name"! Okay. (Getting up) _ Jane reaches out, with the notes on the note in her hand to the boys at the table with the chess board, saying: "Entrance to Rancho Makenze! A serious accident with a pick up, with a man attached to the hardware!" The two men, Marc and Jones, get up immediately and take the paper from Jane's hand: "Let's go! ..." He reads the note, scratches his head and asks puzzled: "Where did the person call from ?!" Jones with his hand on his chin thoughtfully. Marc takes the paper and says: "Good
7:21 am somewhere in the Texas desert... Black Dodge is on asphalt. "Someone" directing sings a song. Or at least is trying to: "If you're happy clap your hands! If you're happy clap your foot!... If you're happy!"...Yeah Ted Karanzza is at the wheel trying to pass a little of his... "joy", when he forgets majestically the letter! He taps the steering wheel trying to get the rhythm, and: "Oh, never mind!... "Old Macdonald had a farm Ee I ee I o!!!" "Oh no!!" Malcon Ramirez mutters!, and Fernandes Sanches vents: "20 minutes!, the same 'song'!" (pulling his hat and covering his ears) But the driver: "Come on, guys?! My teacher loved to sing that song!" (gestures, taking his hand off the wheel with a cigarette between his fingers) Malcon Ramirez counters: "The 'little teacher' must have known how to sing! And you sure as hell weren't inside a car breathing smoke! Cóf! Cóf! (Cough) ... and maybe she was beautiful!
The black Dodge affectionately dubbed by Ted Karanzza as "the dark," is still on the road, that sunny Saturday morning in the Texas desert. But, what about the police? A few miles back... The snakes are still in the front seats of the vehicle undisturbed, until: "I found a stick, Sheriff!" Sheriff Brawn is sitting on a rock, fanning himself with his hat... "Okay boy. Let's get this over with..." Jeremy approaches the car and stands three feet from the snakes, stretching out his arm with the stick. And the Sheriff alerts him: "Watch out Jeremy, we're a long way from the hospital! One sting and that's it!" Jeremy hooks the stick through the middle of the snake, half tremolo, and throws it out of the vehicle... Sheriff Brawn draws his gun! "BANG!" The bullet almost splits the snake in half... "YEEHUUU! On the fly!" Vibrates Jeremy. "Take the other one, I want to hit the head... Be careful!"' The boy
1976, 8hrs on a sunny morning in Brackttville in Kinney County, Texas, United States of America. A young blonde woman in her bedroom lying on her bed. She is surrounded by bloodstained bandages. Her peaceful countenance of someone who really needed a break is undone by her brows furrowing against the morning light now on her face. She opens her eyes slowly. Still lying down, her mind takes her back to the night before into the early morning hours. A few memory arrows begin: blood-stained claws "pass" quickly! It is barely hit in the face! And those red eyes! Horns with yellowish tips. Leather wings with "anemic" edges! The thing or demon attacks it without stopping with its hands, or wings with claws! She looks hungry for blood! It's tireless! It deviates in the last milliseconds! The memory arrows are now confused between the creature's many successful onslaughts and well-known human faces. Sounds of shotgun fire and revolving between screams mingle. A final
Judy Vegas is in the kitchen of her home cutting some pieces of fish that Jack caught with his 10-year-old son, Jesse. She raises her head, sees them from the window, and gives a proud smile to her husband teaching his son, as she always did on Saturdays, after fishing ... "BANG!" Jack demonstrates with his rifle, hitting a can:"Your turn. Remember the important thing ...""It's not getting it right in the beginning, but evolving with each shot! I already know, dad!" Jesse completes his father's speech, eager to take the next shot. He reloads his shotgun, already with the skill of an adult, while Jack watches him carefully, feeling proud of his son:"Very well ..." Jack lets out a slight attentive smile for Jesse to make his aim focused on the target ... BANG!"THAT'S IT! ..." Celebrate! While Jesse is still looking at that can, as if to say; "I'll get you soon!" He turns to his father and asks:"You liked it?" Finally the boy smiled at his
...The powerful engine barely heats up and they arrive in Brackettville...Families from all the surrounding regions are crowding the place. The Willams Vegas couple are unmistakable and are already noticed even before leaving the vehicle by the closest old friends. And someone comes forward and says:"Hey! Look who's here! If it's not old Jack 'and family'! (cheerful tone)" One of the men is ready and will receive the friend who has already left the veícle:"Hello, Jack!""Hello Carlson! Everything in sacred peace? ..." The two greet each other, while some boys surround Jesse ... One of the boys is Jhony, who seems to be the leader, despite being the smallest in the class, he is also the most active and seems to be the most intelligent. He shakes Jesse's hand by shaking his arm, saying:"Now, I want to see Michael win us over!" Putting his arm around his friend's neck and the other boys agree, vibrant: "IIÉÉÉ&Eacu
